<...You... What? Do forgive my insolence, but why were you speaking differently? The water is different, too, my skin doesn't agree with it.>

LOVE IS STORED IN THE AXOLOTL!Main Room (Aichi)
-Aichi is sitting on the couch looking at his deck once again. He doesn't have that many things to do in the Room. Maybe if he had a sketchbook or notebook or something he could draw something, but he doesn't have one.-
"..."
-He can't help but worry he's gotten rusty at Vanguard since he hasn't been able to play in a few months...-

Outside (Erin)
-Erin's practicing using magic this time instead of her swordsmanship. She seems to have her eyes closed and is focusing... or rather charging. She'll probably be startled if someone takes her off guard.-

Main Room (Aichi)
-Oh yeah... It is around Christmas, isn't it?-
"Oh... well, thank you!"
-He really does appreciate the gesture despite feeling it's a little unwarranted. He decides to carefully open it.-
I had to go look up just how Christmas is celebrated in Japan. I know that Christmas Eve is something of a day for couples, but apparently (according to a page I looked at) gift giving is not traditionally done on Christmas, but is becoming a modern custom so... I guess he could react normally to it then?

<...Whatever you say. If you want information from me, you could just as well get it from cutting me open. They never tell me anything important, though they pretend to.>
(Makes a wretched, loud gurgle, squirming a bit.)
<Could something at least be done about this water, please? Perhaps this is too much to ask, but I feel ill.>
make it through this year if it kills you yet | 2001-2019No problem!~ I think you'll like it.
Well- I don't mind when you open it, anyway.
If you want to wait until Christmas, go ahead!
-as Aichi opens it, he finds... a sketchbook and a set of pencils!-

1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this postMain Room (Aichi)
-Whaaaa?! H-He was just thinking about that... He hasn't drawn in a long time, but it was something he used to do to pass the time when he was lonely...* After all he only just recently truly got to start playing Vanguard despite knowing about it for years.-
"H-How did you...?"
-Did he mention it to her before? It's amazing that she got something so relevant... He's very happy!-
"T-Thank you, Missy!"
-It really means a lot to him.-
*This is mostly headcanon based on one of the ending themes of Vanguard. He had a little sketch book with childish doodles of a board game or something. I got this mental image that he drew stuff like that as a kid hoping that someday he'd be able to play it with somebody...
Main Room (Aichi)
-Aichi appreciates the gesture. He wouldn't have ever expected a gift from anyone here let alone something related to Vanguard. He's thankful that he got such a wonderful and nostalgic gift.-
"Really, Missy. Thanks. I couldn't have asked for anything better!"
-Aichi notices Julieta walk downstairs and frowns. She looks unhappy. Despite not knowing her he decides to ask if she's all right.-
"Um... Are you all right?"
(Julieta sighs with the highest amount of frustration ever possibly achieved by the Ace Pilot.)
What do you think? He's been taking pills, and he has the hall to say "Oh, I'm fine, Julieta."
Does he really think I'm that stupid?
"We all fail. We all make mistakes. That is what makes us human."

-jess tries to move herself to whatever counts as teh chin to not fall in-
-she stares off into space for a couple minutes, then comes back-
Ах, извините. Мне пришлось связаться со своими людьми, чтобы вспомнить, как говорить на этом странном другом языке. В этом месте этого языка есть такие же, как я.
