[The feed opens to Ryuunosuke wearing a very puffy coat; apparently he's not too fond of the cold at all. He appears to be in the Pokémon Center (Goldenrod's, to be specific), with an Absol curled up at his feet. He grins at the camera, though he doesn't look anywhere near as peppy as usual.]

I guess some of you guys are probably going through the same thing I am. I really miss Fuyuki City and the people I knew back home. I mean, don't get me wrong, this world is pretty great, but the holidays are a time to spend with friends and family. It feels weird spending the time away from home.

[...What is he going on about now? This is a bit of an odd topic, considering Ryuunosuke murdered his entire family.]

I've never really liked the holidays, actually. I like getting gifts, sure, who doesn't? But picking out the perfect gifts is always such a hassle.

[He leans on his knees, propping his chin on one hand. There's a bright red mark visible on the back of his right hand. It looks like it might be some sort of tattoo. It's not a new addition by any means, but there are a few people here that might recognize it.]

How do you guys go about picking out the perfect gift for people? And I've got another question too - who here's from Fuyuki? Anyone? How about Japan?

[The Absol stirs at his feet and Ryuunosuke glances down at her.]

...I guess giving people Pokémon would be too predictable, huh?

Oh really? Well, that kind of sucks. Thanks for letting me know! I guess I'll live it up until then!

[There's no delay in the text or anything; he's obviously really laid-back about this.]

Do you know what happened then? What about you? Did you make it out alive at least?

[...goodness, you're a weird one

what does he do with this knowledge]

...I doubt it. My student, on the other hand, seems to have survived; this is comfort enough.

Most people aren't fine with the idea of dying. It's not like there's really anything we can do about it though, so I guess you see it the same way, right? There's no point in worrying about it.

Exactly...to say nothing of the fact that I've been prepared for this war by my family since I made the choice to pursue it. The possibility of failure was made plain to me from the beginning; I accepted it long ago.

[...that last part is pretty much blatant lies, but...composure and elegance. Composure and elegance.]

Well, that's good. Not that you died, but that you were prepared for it. There's no sense wasting time whining about something you can't change anyway!

...At least, I don't think you can change it. I doubt we'll be able to change our fate when we get home.

I...fairly doubt Second Magic works that way, though I've never specialized in it; I wouldn't know, but just the same I'm not optimistic.

What's Second Magic?

[Lol what are these mage-terms. :| ]

[.........................]

...exactly how experienced of a mage are you...?

Completely inexperienced!
