[Outside, there is a girl that is sitting on a TV. Or at least, what's left of a TV-- it obviously has seen much better days.

And so has she.]

Just wait until I get my hands on that dirty, lying...

... Man, I thought the last person here was never going to leave! Privacy in a public hot spring really is a precious commodity...

Oh well! [ cracking a coconut on one of the rocks surrounding the springs ] Best soak up the lack of company while I can--

[ and that's when he notices your character approaching! ]

-- E-except for you, I guess!

[ ooc; See icon for SCARS EVERYWHERE. If you are a girl and tagging, just assume he wandered into the very wrong spring. ): ]

[Near a certain hut in a certain snow covered garden, you may hear sounds of sniffling if you happen to be passing by!]

She's really not anywhere is she? I've been looking for a while, but still no sign. Notgonnacrynotgonnacrynotgonnacry-- Nnnn, I'm so BAD at this! But seriously, why is it every time I get a roommate, they always end up going home? Lucia-san, Aoko-san, Yukina-san, and now even Nuriko-san. Maybe I'm cursed or something.

I've got a lot of room for myself... Again. I should try planting more flowers in the garden so there's something nice to look at after the snow is gone. I haven't been very careful with it lately.

... I hope Snake-san is okay.

[a very angry guy might just be walking up to you now!]



This guy, have you seen him?! Where the hell is he?! --and where the hell am I?

[For Christmas, a certain little yellow frog received a video camera that isn't small and hidden away somewhere to spy on the whole lot of you and he is damn well going to use it to film everything. Everything from you just eating something to scoping out your home to you punching someone...]

Stupid Canadians and their stupid day of boxing. Always gotta be a muscle-headed freak of nature, da ze~

[or him. That's fine too.]

Did everyone enjoy the 'holiday season'? With the exception of the fake Santa, I believe that it has been decent.

As for this snow, it should be gone soon enough, although it was created through different means.

... I cannot think of any other subject to address at this time, however I do have this odd feeling.

((So, it's Boxing Day, and thus, expect punches. They will be based on what she thinks of you, so in some cases... uhh, beware.))

*Please see icon*

Funny, sexy, brunette zombie killer swept away from the zombie apocalypse and into a deserted snowy island... What fate befalls--HI-YAH!

[HAPPY BOXING DAY. In case you forgot, there is now a fist flying towards your face. Dodge or be hit!]

Whoa! Sorry, I couldn't--control myself? Must have thought you were a zombie and wanted to punch you in the face by reflex.

Oh, so since you being here means this isn't a deserted island after all... Where am I?

Well, Christmas has passed... And so has my birthday! The island was pretty nice with my gift this year. I guess it counts as both my Christmas AND birthday present! The clothes I got look a bit strange though, but I should be grateful that they fit. Speaking of birthdays, I've been here for about two years now haven't I? Hm, I wonder how many people have come and gone by now? A lot of people have done so I bet, but it's a wonder I'm still here.

Anyways... This birthday cake smells rather strange. Ugh, the scent is overwhelming. I thought they were supposed to be sweet! And hopefully Ikki isn't hiding inside of it! ♥

Oh, Shiki you still haven't cooked for me yet! Since it was my birthday you should do that as a gift for me!

[Island gave her winter clothes yay". Also, it is Boxing Day, so feel free to punch Arcueid. She'll punch back harder 8|]

... So.

What'd the rock get you?

[ OOC; ITT ALL PURPOSE CHRISTMAS POST. The island gave presents, so enjoy those! Up to you guys to decide what your characters can get, and basically, it falls under 'what you can usually bring with you to the island' ... so HAVE FUN WITH THAT also spam and do your own christmasing etc etc ]

*wearing a festive Santa hat tonight is one Main Character cruising about with a bag slung over his shoulder-- if you're friends with this :| faced Santa (or even if you're not), you may find him approaching you as you go about your business*

Happy Holidays.

(( ITP; Presents. In Minato's case, all his are here. ))

Yoshaaaaaa!! Are you ready for a rematch, Neku--!?

You so sure about that?

Positive! With you and me taking on-- Well, okay, everybody else, I'd say we're a shoe in for another victory!

They won't even know what hit 'em. Bring it on.

That's the spirit! Hey, you-- Ready or not, here we come!

[you have now been hit with a snowball, with another one on the way. do you respond/walk away/jam it in/take cover?]

((KIYO AND NEKU VERSUS EVERYBODYYYYY-- Yeah. Are you ready for this? Thread order goes Your character -> Neku -> Kiyomaro!))

[suddenly! out of nowhere, no matter what you were doing, there is a sword being pointed just inches away from your face.]

... Well now! Isn't that nice? To think that Christmas is coming up real soon with all the nice boys and girls getting presents. Of course, can't forget about other fun stuff for this week.

Speaking of which, remember that certain little green plant? See that thing floating above your head? It's clearly trying to tell you something!

Don't you wanna kiss someone underneath it~? Y'know you want to.

(OOC: Amidst all the holiday chaos and confusion is Haruko surrounded by mistletoe, and they're over your characters' heads, too! So ITP = mistletoe mass post. Threadhop, mingle, try and destroy the mistletoe, make kissy faces, etc.)

[Thanks to Killer Claus, Freya has gotten herself 'injured'. Her dress is tattered, and some of her 'skin' is open, revealing wires. Yet, as always, she's calm.]

I am in need of assistance, if anyone on this island knows mechanical repair and has the tools necessary.

...

And perhaps a tailor as well.

[While you are out today, you may notice a strange color of yellow not too far off. Upon closer inspection, you'll see a familiar vampire girl hanging upside down on a tree branch that's a little far up with her feet and ankles completely covered in ice and stuck onto the said branch, so cue the embarrassed girl holding both hands to keep her skirt from falling.]

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry! I won't do it again, I promise! So please let me doooown! It's cold and windy out here! Someone please help meee! I know I've been a bad girl, Santa, so please let me down and I'll try to be good this time! Please? Pretty please? I-I'll even try not to bite anybody... too much if you let me down!

It's dark and no one is even around to listen...
...
...
....

Waaaaah.

((Sacchin tried to go against the robot santa and even though she had no chance, she wound up getting stuck and frozen here since lol bullets can't kill vampires.))

HEY, YOU!

Strip naked for me. ♥

[ Hay, Islanders. Don't you need a little fanservice that isn't of the female persuasion? Have a terribly underdressed Itsuki who was in the middle of changing from his gym clothes into his school uniform, and currently just has on gym shorts. Talk about an inconvenience. But at least everything else is in the bag that came with him. Except coats. Coats would be very much appreciated. ]

.....

...well, this is most unpleasant.

SNAAAAAAAKE--!

[The island has gained one(1) very angry, overly dramatic, blond British super soldier. He is, as usual, not happy.]

[Not quite as usual is the fact that he kind of just fell from nowhere into a snowbank. Swearing vividly at this unexpected development, he stumbled out of said snowbank and brushed snow off his shoulders--did I mention he's not wearing a shirt? Because he's not wearing a shirt. In fact, all he's wearing is combat boots, fatigues, a holster with a knife and pistol, and a set of dogtags.]

...this isn't Shadow Moses. Where--oh, I must have hit my head. Fantastic. I've important things to finish, and this is no time for a concussion or anything of the sort.

You know, the Christmas season is supposed to induce images of reds, greens, and holiday cheer, like Santa, candy canes, and presents! And lots of white snow of course. Speaking of snow...

... Frosty the Snowman's going to be wondering why there's fewer relatives this Christmas. But I digress.

Hot chocolate anyone?

[Sitting at the beach with a small fire going and some hot chocolate! Marshmallows included. Edit: FYI, the snowmen and monster are not moving, they're just regular sculptures. ]

The level of education here has gone from terrible to downright pathetic! That is why you are all here, to weed the intelligent from the moronic! You have only four subjects and fifty multiple choice questions. I expect you to be done within two hours. Now go!

[You've been sucked into the library to take a mandatory Island final exam. It's ridiculously difficult, even for smart people, but cheating is allowed if you're not caught. Passing at least two subjects (math, science, history, language) will grant you a Neco Arc plushie. Failing will give you a giant red "F" on your forehead. The test also says "courtesy of Tohno Shiki" on it, so yeah.

Comment around post-test, complain, turn in your test, beat up Shiki, or yell at Sion.]

[There is a psychic sharpshooter and relatively new arrival to the island just kind of sitting in a tree near the residence of one Yusuke Urameshi, arms folded behind his head. This whole experience coming to the island had been strange, but stranger still was the fact that people seemed almost eager to talk to him.]

[Yes, in Sniper's mind being spoken to was stranger than being brought to an interdimensional island.]

...I should think about getting another jacket. It's cold.

[Priorities. He totally has them.]

((ooc:...mun is kind of bored. Go on, bother the antisocial guy.))

[ right outside her hut, there is a girl. A girl who is gingerly lifting up her shirt a bit to check out-- bandages. The girl does not look happy. In fact, the girl looks miserable. ]

Is it just me or are all the new people we're getting having problems with making a normal entrance? I mean, first the grass-lover breaking the roof, then the guy shooting me-- if anyone else shows up, I'll say hello after they're done leaving destruction in their wake, sound good?

((ooc: yes, she was shot. :( no this not my way of getting my posting in before traveling really))

[if you happen to be at the inn at let's say something o'clock, you may overhear someone in the kitchen!]

Baking a cake shouldn't be too difficult! If it was, then there would only be a few people in the profession. I'm sure that even I can bake a cake!

First step: crack the egg! I've done this many times before so it shouldn't be--.

...

............

...............

--what is wrong with these eggs?!

((Headed to bed! Will tag back when... I wake up. Whenever that will be +A+))

[ see Judith. See Judith in a clearing removing Christmas lights. See a colossal Entelexeia filling the entire clearing (and beyond it) currently wrapped in afore-mentioned lights. See... Judith trying very hard not to laugh while her friend is making very unhappy noises. ]

Hang in there, Ba'ul, we're-- well, not almost done, more like nearly halfway, but you've been very patient so far! How the island could have mistaken you for a tree is something we may never figure out... unless, of course, this holiday involves draping you with-- aha, I'm not being serious, I'm sorry. I know it's very disrespectful to the Entelexeia to be all lit up like this, so if you'll lower your head a bit for me--

... Well, I don't know, this particular strand brings out your eyes.

[ SO. If one day you are taking a merry, happy little walk around the island's forest, then expect to hear some friggin' gunshots. Our boy Havoc here just recently got here into the island and is wanting to explore the forest! Prior to doing so, he is test shooting his gun, shooting to random directions -- UNTIL...]

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH I GOT SHOT OH MY GOD"

That...can't be good--

[ OOC: Pfffff in this post, feel free to be the one being shot (if you want to go ahead hnnng) or just someone passing by to check what's up or screaming because the gunshot almost hit you :|b ]

[ IN THIS POST: PITFALLS AND LANDMINES.

No, seriously. Between you and your destination, magically blanketed by the snow, there are a ton of pitfalls and landmines. And pitfalls with landmines in them! A certain islander has just happened to fall into one to demonstrate unknowingly. ]

( A HELPFUL DIAGRAM )

[ Proceed with utmost caution. Oh, and threadhop away. ]

Ara ara... it's the cold time of the year again. It's going to be weird seeing that it will be a little different than the last two years before with those two being gone. And you miss her too, don't you? Don't worry, I have food for you. You're lucky I paid a visit to that hamburger bush thing. H-Hey! Don't jump on me! You're going to get snow all over me! Looks like you're still keeping watch of the old neighbor's house, huh? I'm sure your owner would be proud of you.

Come to think of it, it really has been over two years since I've arrived here. Time really does fly by here before you even realize it, but at least I don't have to deal with another weird cake this time. Hm, well I should at least tidy up the cabin sometime soon in case any one of them decides to come back and pay a library a visit or something to get out of the hut once in a while. Besides, I should think of something to give to Saber and Saegusa-san for their presents and the same with others here I know.

Okay, okay! I'm going! You don't have to tug on my pants, Jack. I know you're excited but I don't think she'll be here today either. Come on, let's go for a walk.
