[Video turns on and here's Neku all over again. He looks pretty preoccupied, eyes on something else, other hand busy pinning a pile of papers under a thick law book A bookmark sticking out of it shows just how little progress he's had with it.

Papers duly sorted, he turns his attention to the camera.]Hey guys. We thought that it might be better to

Choushiro-san. He's a coworker, pretty nice.

That sounds good to me!

Though I guess I really need to figure out when I'm hosting my party. It seems like something's coming up on all the days that would be good for it.

But yeah, Secret Santa sounds fun!

[He blinks at her and tries to recall. Chika, wasn't it?]

It can't be helped, it is December. What kind of party, though?

Re: [pResonance filter]

Well, I was planning on doing some sort of Christmas party, though now that there's so many of them maybe it might not even be a good idea. I've been kinda busy lately.

Especially if the pResonance party isn't just limited to us. How many people are invited, anyway?

[pResonance filter]

[gotphones]

[He shrugs, looking uncomfortable.]

It's basically a show up if you want kind of deal. Actually, if you want to hold a Christmas party, I wouldn't mind help in the organizing bit. Parties aren't really my thing.

I'd guess I'd enjoy a secret santa, and you can count me in for the dinner!! Thank you so much!

[ she'll grin, clearly excited to meet new weapons. ]

[gotphones]

Lunch.

Got it. [He smiles a little, jots down her name and pauses.]

Actually... you mentioned that you don't mind teaching people how to use weapons, right?

[underspinning]

Of course I wouldn't! It's best to share what you know, right? If you can't wield your weapon, then you aren't exactly helping your cause to return home. [ a small giggle.

so many things she's going to do in death city! ]

[gotphones]

You're part of the Watch, right? Have you tried offering that during morning training?

[He quirks a smile at her enthusiasm. He ought to ask pairs about that.]

Uh. Have you ever tried fighting with an over-sized key?

[lionborn]

Hey, 'bout that christmas thing, sorry but I won't come. I've been invited by a girl. [Priorities, he has them and what Lili dangled in front of his nose definitely beats having an awkward time trying to find a partner.]

I'm in at the Mall roughin', though.

[voice]

[gotphones]

No problem.

[He won't remark on the part with him having a girl over for Christmas Eve. At all. He keeps his eyes lowered, glad that he can't be seen blushing.]

Oh? You going with someone to the mall?

[voice]

[lionborn]

Yep! Me'n Bakura-kun and some friends of his! We're gonna beat people up and get paid for it~!

[voice]

[gotphones]

Ah, that mission. Good luck.

[Have a wry smile.]

[Private;]
I noticed that you listed him down as a good match. Are you willing to try partnering with Ryou?

[pResonance filter]

[kill_some_time]

Not interested.

[Sensible like a sledge hammer.]

[pResonance filter]

[gotphones]

[Oh god it's you again. There's just not enough caffeine for this.]

Some Christmas cheer might help you.

[pResonance filter]

[kill_some_time]

Why would desire to cheer the failure of another god?

[Haughty. Hades thinks that every god who lets themselves become human is a failure.]

[pResonance filter]

[gotphones]

This isn't really for your sake. Mostly. You're trying to find a partner, aren't you?

[Frownfrown, and he's writing you down.]

I'll e-mail you the name of the person you're giving a gift to. Come on the 24th.
