December sucks for everyone, apparently.

Characters: Yu Narukami, Koromaru, or Riku Replica and you!
Setting: See the character choices; all backdated to the 25th and the entire week after.
Format: Starting in action for ease, but I'll match you.
Warnings: ...Rep's temper tantrums are enough of a warning. I think.

Koromaru. Dec. 25th, Room 3-04 [Koromaru always was a loyal dog. When his friends got sick, he'd wander over and even sit with them to keep them company. It's all he could do since not many could understand what he was saying. Really, he didn't mind. Yet when this morning came and he opened his trunk to grab his usual knife, just in case... he paused, giving a startled noise. He knew that knife... It was the same on that his friend used when cooking...] ...'roo. [...He was going to go looking for Akihiko and begin the search for his other missing friends. The dog took the knife in his mouth and headed out to the hallway in a hurry.] Dec. 31st, Floor 48 [He came to this floor way too often sometimes, but he didn't mind it. Instead he walked through the rows, ears flopped over as he seemed to stare at some of the tombstones. Eventually though, he stops at two of them and sits there for a bit. Ken Amada. Shinjiro Aragaki... Was he worried that another of his friends would disappear?]

Riku Replica. Dec. 25th, Room 2-14 [He never was one to really hide when he was upset. Today was no exception when he woke up early, noticing something was different about what was present at the foot of his bed. See, he knew what the date meant only because of another person's memories. Not that he ever cared for the holiday Santa totally does not exist, okay. So when he checks his trunk just to see if he could find extra socks or something, because yeah, it's cold as hell. That's what he saw what was in the trunk in addition to what was in there when he first arrived. ... Like he needed a certain black coat that those who created him wore. Nope. He's just going to try and burn it, now.] Dec. 27th, Floor 20 [...Okay. He'll admit it's warm, but like hell is he wearing it right now. Instead, he seems to be hanging out on an open floor, trying to cast some sort of spell that fizzles out repeatedly. He tries it over and over again, ends up failing with it. Eventually he'll get frustrated and it casts Dark Firaga instead, muttering under his breath. Not cool at all, here. Is he still trying to set the coat on fire?]

Yu Narukami. Dec. 25th, Room 2-02 [When Yu woke up this morning, the only thing he was thinking of was making sure his friends were alright. He didn't care for presents or anything like that; in fact, he was just looking through his trunk for his coat when he noticed something small and old-looking that hadn't been there when he placed his coat in there last night. Funny, it seemed familiar, too. Why couldn't he place it? Then again, it's pretty easy to forget a comb. ...kushi. ... Putting it in his pocket, he leaves to wish his friends as happy a Christmas anyone could have in this place.] Dec. 28th, Floor 14 [It's almost funny how he keeps finding himself here, but considering the people he normally finds here, it shouldn't be too much of a surprise. he isn't doing much, just listening to something playing on TV as he writes down something in a book. Bother him? > Yes. > No. > Steal the book and run like hell.]

Thanks, Yu-senpai!

[Rise beams up at him and slips inside, careful to keep her back turned so he can't see what she's got just yet. Once inside, she can't help but look a little sheepish, though.]

Honestly, I feel kinda bad... Everything was so crazy these last two months, I didn't have time to make you anything for today, plus it's really hard to find anything good to work with here! So...I thought that instead, maybe we could share this!

[From behind her back, she pulls out the small basket of food from home that she'd "won" (or was it more like "earned"?) from being a Tower Plaything that month.]

Look, Senpai! There's some sodas and all this candy and stuff from home! I haven't seen any of this kind of thing around the Tower, not even during Halloween!

[Indeed, there's one can each of Dr. Salt NEO, The Natural, and Second Maid, as well as some regular convenience store-type snacks, like Pocky and Koala no March and packaged rice balls and such. Nothing big or expensive or super-rare anywhere...aside from here in the Tower. It's not a Christmas cake, or the sort of gift she'd really like to give him, but...here and now, it's all she has.]
