Alistair

Happy holidays...
I'm not expecting much...
In the Alethea family, it was tradition for us to give each other really thick books as presents...
So I can't imagine anything other than books as presents...
...
Are you stupid? You don't understand?
But it's okay... I'm not expecting anything anyway...

You gotta be kidding me!
You still believe in the legend of the jolly old red saint at your age? Haha.
Didn't you know those tales are for grade school kids? Snicker...
Hey, what the... Why do you have a present?
Huh? You got it from the old saint? No way! That's impossible!
No wait, but you really did get a present.
This calls for further investigation. Please elaborate on when, where, and how exactly you acquired the gift.
In more detail, please! De-tails!

(Captain), I've grasped an important truth!
What is it, you ask? Why, it's about the jolly old red saint—what else?
Poring over tome after tome has cemented my conviction: it simply isn't possible to receive presents from such a person!
Can you put forward any counterevidence? This year I'm not about to be deceived by the gifts that you offer.
Hm? You've got a present for me?
It's from the jolly old red saint, you say?
No, please hold up! I never said I didn't want it.
If anything, there's a pressing need to investigate. So please, (Captain)...
Hand the present over.

Hum-dee-dum! Why hello, (Captain)! Happy holidays!
I look like I'm in a good mood, you say?
No, I'm the same as always. Please, I'm the shining beacon of hope—the one and only Alistair Alethea.
Just because it's the holidays, I won't go prancing around, like those other commoner children.
Eehehehehe...
How... How did you know I got a present from the jolly old red saint?
Yes, it's true that he paid me a visit while I was sleeping and left a gift by my pillow.
Gasp! Could it be? You've been spying on the old red saint this entire time, haven't you?

Anna (Summer)

Oh, um, (Captain)? Isn't the holiday season wonderful?
Listen, um, every year I usually celebrate with just Nightmare and I...
B-but this year, I was wondering if maybe... (Captain), would you like to spend the holidays with us?

Anna: It's the holiday season, so...
I, umm, have a gift for you!
Because... it's been really cold lately. A-and I thought you might like to feel warm...
Nightmare: You better not go catchin' a cold now!
Anna: I... I knit this sweater for you... I hope you like it...
You do? Yay! Aaah...
Eep! Sorry, that made me so happy...

Ah, (Captain)! That's the sweater I gave you last year!
You're wearing it!
Th-this makes me so happy!
I'll knit you a nice hat to go along with the sweater!
I hope it helps you keep warm, (Captain)...
Teehee...

(Captain), happy holidays.
I-I'm so happy you're wearing the present I gave you.
Th-this year I... uh...
Yeah!
Uh, uh... I-if we stay close, we'll be warmer...
You told me that it's toasty when you're near somebody, (Captain)...
Are you warm? G-good...
It's, um, cold out, so... Let's heat each other up.

Anna

(Captain), happy holidays.
I-I'm so happy you're wearing the present I gave you.
Th-this year I... uh...
Yeah!
Uh, uh... I-if we stay close, we'll be warmer...
You told me that it's toasty when you're near somebody, (Captain)...
Are you warm? G-good...
It's, um, cold out, so... Let's heat each other up.

Bakura

(Captain), if I may ask a question...
Tonight is said to be the most wondrous of nights. Can you tell me why?
Oh, is that so! All gather together to celebrate the act of gift-giving?
Ah, to participate in such a selfless act surely emboldens the heart and spirit.
What a delightful tradition this is. I too hope to participate in that act this very night. Hahahaha...

(Captain), happy holidays.
This year I have resolved to make the acquaintance of the man named Saint Nicholas.
Captain, I must beg a request of you.
Would you do me the honor of being by my side even into the eve?
For this is the night I will speak with the deliverer of presents...

(Captain), what a wonderful evening.
I was yet again unable to see Santa Claus.
For what reason does the saint hide himself and yet bestow presents upon us?
I see. So it is his custom to hide.
Would it be the case that he is bound by some law and is unable to show himself?
Then I was attempting to violate his rules...
I have decided to give up my quest to see him.
A person who strictly abides by their own precepts... I aspire to such greatness.

(Captain), if I may ask a favor of you...
Although I do not usually partake in the tradition of this wondrous winter holiday, I must voice my admiration and respect for the old saint.
You see, I wish to be a recipient of his generous alms and study under him.
However, as he does not make his presence publicly known, I lack the means by which to make my request known.
A little bird told me that you are in good standing with the saint.
If you could pass the word on for me, I would be most grateful.

Balurga

Hyaappy holidays! Yahoo!
Heh heh... Holidays and festivals really are nice, aren't they?
Huh? I'm partying a little too hard?
C'mon, to party like this is the manliest thing a man can do!
You don't get what I'm talking about?
Ha ha ha... No worries. I don't, either!

Get it together! This is no time to be prancing around, (Captain).
Today the legendary beast called Santa is coming for our destruction!
We need you in top shape! We need to get pumped!
What do you mean for what? It's obvious!
We need to hunt down Santa!
Hahaha... We're gonna steal his presents and then sell them for a profit! You like that idea, don't you?
What? What do you mean, "no"?
Get out of here. If I don't behave myself, then I won't get a present?
I-I can't have that! I need my presents...
Gaaah... It's off... All of it. We can't hunt Santa!

(Captain)! Hyappy holidays!
I've decided that tonight all those little tweedle dees need a big boom to keep them in line!
That means fireworks! I won't stand for a silent night!
What? You think the lights in the sky would work well for the occasion?
How dare you! You mean to tell me I might make those good-for-nothings have an even better time?
This requires action! I'm gonna blow them all away!

Hyaaho, (Captain)! Let's go take one of those guys down!
Huh? Who? Obviously I'm talking about an evergreen tree!
We're gonna find the biggest one, cut it down and turn it into a holiday tree!
Then I'm gonna put the shiniest star ever at the top!
It has to be me, because the honors can only go to the brightest man around!
You can go wild everywhere else though! This tree is gonna be a beauty once we're done!

Barawa

Oh? Has the holiday season come again? Back in the military, we always made sure to observe this time of year.
There's a story from the War about how they called a cease-fire in the middle of battle just for this day.
Since then it's been a rule in the military that everyone observe this time of year!

The holiday season always reminds me of that ghastly incident.
It all happened when I first started as a detective. For the first time ever, I accused someone of being a criminal...
But that man was innocent. Moreover, since I was never formally hired to look into the case, I was kicked out for sticking my nose where it didn't belong.
That was a night to learn from...

Happy holidays, (Captain)! I've got another present for you this year.
Heh-heh... It's an object I came across while at a certain antique store. Isn't it strange?
It looks like a person from one angle and a beast from another... Can you figure out the purpose for making one of these, (Captain)?
Truth is... I'm not even sure.
But on silent nights like these, just using your brain to solve mystical puzzles is a holiday present in and itself, no?
Well... I mean, uh... that's what I think at least!

Thaaat dastaaard!
(Captain), lend me an ear!
This morning I woke up and on my nightstand was this note!
I thank you for your present this holiest of nights. Here is a small token of my appreciation.
After reading this letter, I opened the box!
Look at this! A little doll with it's tongue sticking out came popping out for goodness sake!
That dastaaard!
I was saving that pudding for a special occasion! This will not stand!

Bridgette

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
I guess that means we've got a jolly old man in red coming by with some presents!
I've been really good this year, if I say so myself. Do you think he'll give me a gift?
I know you're a good person, (Captain), so you'll get something for sure!
We'll get our much deserved rewards and make this holiday the best through and through!

Let's have a party, (Captain)!
It's the season for celebration! Where everyone eats and laughs together!
I did my best through and through with the food and decorations! I know you'll love it!
I hope you enjoy it through and through, (Captain)!

(Captain), it's chilly today so be sure to stay warm through and through!
Your holiday break will go to waste if you catch a cold!
So I took some time through and through to make you something warm to eat!
Nothing would make me happier than to see you warm up after a few bites of my hot homemade dish, (Captain)!

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
Look! And look real good through and through! These are snowmen that I made!
Starting from the right, this is Captain Charlotte, Sevastien, Baotorda, and Cordelia!
Hehe. What do you think? I call them the Lumiel Order of Holy Snowpeople!
Next, I'll make a snow version of you too, (Captain)!
Would you like to help make it?

Cailana

Happy holidays!
Look, it's snowing! I've never seen it snow before!
Back on Auguste it was sunny all year round, so I just kept riding the waves through the holidays!
The water gets pretty cold right about now.
I'd have the waves all to myself!

It's already time for the winter holidays, huh? You can feel it in the air... The town is just brimming with holiday spirit!
Just take a look around us—the night is brimming with excitement!
I used to spend my winter holidays at the beach, so I never had a chance to celebrate like this.
It's all thanks to you, (Captain)! Let's enjoy it together tonight!

Brr... It's cold...
It's freakin' freezing! It hurts! My bones are aching!
(Captain)! You came at just the right time! Could you help me?
Tonight I went to a surfer's event, but it was so cold that it was all I could think about.
Oh! (Captain), you're warm... Stay just like that...
This is great... You feel so good. This is where I should have been this whole time...

Whoa! Look, (Captain)! Everything's white, as far as the eye can see!
It snowed a lot yesterday, and the whole town got covered so fast.
Guess the surfing event this year is canceled though.
So how about this! Let's have a blast in town tonight and enjoy all the holiday festivities instead!
You're coming with me, right?
Come on then, let's go! There's only so much time before the fun's over!

Camieux (Earth)

Happy holidays!
What? I should go to bed early because Santa Claus is coming?
Don't be silly! I'm not a kid anymore! I can't believe you...

This is a special time of year, (Captain)! Take this firecracker!
Hehe. I made it myself. Just setting it off will fill you with cheer!
You know, back when I first started messing with gunpowder, this is the kind of thing I wanted to make.
My sister Cucouroux loves this time of year. If she were here, I'm sure she'd love setting off some fireworks.
Anyway, I hope we can all have some fun and celebrate the season together!

Oh! (Captain)! Are you on your way to the kitchen too?
Aye! I thought I'd help out with all the cooking they're doing for the holiday feast.
We've got a lot of crew members who are geniuses in the kitchen, but more importantly, we've got a lot of crew members...
And I can help with the simple things at least! It's time to use the skills my mom taught me!
Besides, I mean... When it comes to cooking, there aren't many surprises to scare you...
Aye! Let's go and give them a hand!

Oh, (Captain)! Happy holidays!
Sorry about the table being a mess and all.
I just didn't know which wrapping paper was best for my present.
Hehe... This year I'm sending mommy and daddy a gift! Me and Cucouroux decided on it!
And I want to make mommy and daddy as happy as possible, so I'm even being really picky with the wrapping too!
(Captain), would you help me pick one? I'm not so sure I know which one of these is best...
Oh, thank you! With your help I feel a hundred times more confident!

Camieux

Catura (Event)

Wow! Look... It's snowing outside...
The snowflakes are so pretty... Almost like petals...
A snowy winter... That's another classic in illustrated books.
It must be the sky's way... of giving its blessings to us, (Captain)...
My first holy night with (Captain)...
Moohoohoo! Let's make it... one to remember, okay?

What a lively party... This is going to be fun...
I'm reminded of the communal feasts we had back home. We would all be enjoying our food and dancing with the cows...
...
Um, I don't mind being around everyone, but...
I'd much prefer to be alone with you, (Captain)...
After all, the stars in the sky are so much sparklier tonight...
I want to watch them with you... Just the two of us...
Well?
(Captain) responds to her bashful request with a soft smile, putting her coat over her shoulders.
They then quietly slip out of the venue together.

Catura: (Captain), look, look... I made a big heart ornament for you...
I was hoping we could put this on top of the tree together...
Hm? We won't be able to reach the top without a stepladder?
Oh no... We're utterly out of options...
Moomoo: Moo!
In what can only be described as a holiday miracle, Moomoo hops gallantly from behind the tree and sets a stepladder in front of Catura before disappearing again.
Catura: Yay! Thank you, Moomoo... You're the best...
Moohoohoo... Now we can finishing decorating the tree together, (Captain).

Chloe

Like, I couldn't be any happier today!
We should go see the light show in town, Captain! And drink hot cocoa too!
I can't wait for tomorrow morning! I wonder what Santa's got for me!
Huh? Santa, the one who puts presents under the tree while you sleep.
I've never met him. But I'm a good girl, so he leaves me something every year.

It's snowing, it's cold, I miss my family, and I don't have a sweetie-poo on a day like this. What a total downer...
Least that's what I thought!
I mean, you've got so many peeps who are single on the G. Cyph. lol
Like, mad props to your l33t crew and all, but we're all totally on the same level when it comes to relationship status. lolz

Season's greets, Captain!
I wanna go holiday shopping and see all the shiny lights in town! Maybe we can even check out a cafe that's, like, all glammed up in cutesy stuff! (*>ω<*)
I'm all jazzed up thinking about this date with you, (Captain)! ヾ(*´∀`*)ノ
Hm? I'm talking about how you and I are gonna totally raise the roof tonight, (Captain)! (´∀`*)☆
Ah, but we'll have to be back before it gets too dark out!
I'm supposed to get a makeup kit from Santa—wouldn't wanna miss out on it!

Oh (Captain)! Season's greets!
Get a load of this! (*´∀`*) I made cake this year. Isn't it just totes adorbz?
I added some plum kelp jerky into the spongy mix, so it's got, like, a really funky taste.
Put it by your pillow, and Santa just might have a bite. ヽ(☆´∀`☆)ノ
I'm mega-thankful for jolly ol' Kris Kringle, and it's about time I did something to pay him back!

Cordelia

Happy holidays, (Captain).
Do you know of the holiday folktale where a saint blesses all the children? How old were you when you stopped believing in it?
Me? I still believe it!
My job as a praetor places me in a difficult position. I have to fool not only others, but myself as well.
It's all too easy to lose myself in the midst of it all.
To retain my sense of self, I try to make the best of these festivities.
Let's enjoy the holidays together, (Captain).

(Captain), this eve is the holy night, isn't it? I have a proposition for you.
I was planning on dressing as Santa Claus and giving out presents to all the little children, but...
Something doesn't add up. There are just too many children to visit.
That is where you come in. I require your assistance...
What? You will?
Your word is worth a lot to me. Thank you. I appreciate your help.
Hehe... Rest assured. I will save your present for last.
But you must not share our secret with any other crew members.
The children would lose their minds and all would end. That is how dangerous and confidential this mission is.
The dreams of the children must not be destroyed. No information can be leaked to them...
I am glad you understand. You have made a wise choice.
Let us enjoy this night, but don't be late. Hehe...

It's such a beautiful winter night, (Captain).
A quiet snowfall, piles of delicious food, and the exchanging of exciting gifts...
The ladies especially are in a holly, jolly mood around this time of year.
I can't count the number of times a lady had tried to get my attention as I strolled through town.
But since I've already made plans to spend time with you and the crew, I had to turn them all down.
Or should I say it's you who wants to spend some special alone time with me?
Ahaha, just kidding. Come, let's hurry to the party.

Who would have thought we'd actually be able to spend this holy night alone together?
I didn't, and certainly not for this reason.
That's not to say I'm complaining about having to prepare for the party with you.
But this is a good opportunity to enjoy the time we have to ourselves.
What do you think? How would you like to spend a special evening together?
Very good attention to detail, (Captain). Yes, that's the same line I used last year, meaning it's a joke.
I suppose I can't use the same trick twice and hope it works.
Heh. The same goes for anybody who tries anything on me.

Daetta

A little bird told me we're havin' a party tonight. Hm, I'm as nervous as a cat...
Since I never had many friends, I had little reason to follow the herd. I'm not sure how I'd act at parties...
You'll be with me the entire time! Woo-hoo, you just made my day!

Ehehe! We get to trade presents today, (Captain)!
Well, here's mine... Ta-da! A plushie to put over head!
I bought it from my favorite store! It's so cute!
It looks nice on you! Let's roar together! One, two...
Rawr! Rawrawr!

Much cake... Such wow... Don't need a lion's share; I'll just have this one piece!
Chomp... The exquisite whipped cream on top of the spongy texture is so fine...
Ah, (Captain)! Look at all this yummy cake! Here, you can have your pick of the litter!
Wait, this is supposed to be for the party later?
Grr... My fault for getting ahead of myself...
It's a shame we can't get high off the hog together, but I'm to blame. I'll just have to bear with the guilt—and like a bear I will!
Huh? You'll give me half? But that's supposed to be your portion!
Teehee. You're so good to me, (Captain)... Thanks...

(Captain)! Happy holidays!
I just heard something neat! Good kids get presents on the eve of the big day!
I forgot who, but...
There's someone who hands gifts out!
And I decided I'm getting one too. But I'm not sure what yet...
A limited-edition iron ball... Or maybe a new plushie for my head...
Huh? You'll let me choose?
Hurray! That makes me feel so warm and fuzzy, (Captain)!
Teehee... Thanks!

Dante

What is the meaning of this! What kind of person would do such a thing?
We prepared a holiday feast for Lord Rivera and the others, but it's all been eaten! We must apprehend the monster responsible!
Ah... Pardon me, Lord Rivera, but you have a little cream on your mouth. Let me get that for you.

Nrgh... What an outrage! What a folly!
Last year, someone ate the feast I prepared for Lord Rivera...
And I've been foiled this year as well! The gifts have all been stolen!
(Captain), we must apprehend the culprit!
Hm? Lord Rivera? What's that cushion in your mouth?
Oh my! You retrieved it from the thief already? You work quickly! I should take notes!

(Captain)... What should I do?
A few moments ago, one of the younger members of our crew gave me a special homemade cake...
But I cannot eat it! How could I possibly devour a cake shaped exactly like Lord Rivera's exquisite face?
But I can't allow my fellow crew member's efforts and good intentions go to waste! I couldn't bear seeing a frown on that precious face! What must I do to pass this torturous trial?
Aghhh!

Agh! How terrible!
I went to decorate the tree to make the younger crew members happy...
But look under the tree. Someone's pulled down all my ornaments!
(Captain), help me search for the parties responsible! I'm sure that they're somewhere around here...
The scent of tree is coming from... If it isn't Lord Rivera and the others!
I can't believe... They're volunteering to serve as replacement ornaments? Aah, how merciful they are!

Deliford

There's something I'd like to discuss with you, (Captain). You've noticed that we have quite a few children on board the ship, haven't you?
I was thinking about dressing up as Santa and handing out gifts to the kids.
What'd you just say? We've got the real Santa, so we don't need some old man imposter?
How dare you! There are two things wrong with that!
First of all I'm still in the prime of life, and you'd do well not to forget that!
And secondly, Santa isn't real—
Gwah! Oof! Ugh!
Pwaaah!
Pwaaah! What was that for, (Captain)... Huff... I thought I was going to die...

Rrrgh... (Captain)... Season's... Ngh... Greetings... Urk!
Ah... As you can likely tell, my body's in quite a lot of pain.
An embarrassing story, really... It happened yesterday when I helped hunt for tonight's supper.
I must've strained myself too hard, because I can barely move today!
I was just so excited to see the children happy... But it appears I must have gone a bit overboard.
Bah, don't mind me though, (Captain). As long as you're having a good time, that's all that matters.
Did you enjoy the meal? If so, I'd say it was all worth... it... Yeowch!

Hah hah hah! This is quite the tree, don't you think?
I wanted to see the surprise on the faces of you and the kids in the crew, so I decorated it last night.
What do you mean? It was for the boys and girls. A little task like this isn't a burden at all, but...
R-rrrmph...
Haugh!
Maybe I used some muscles I normally don't... Because in a single instant, my body started crying out...
And I couldn't move at all, so I spent the night here.
(Captain), I do apologize, but would you mind carrying me back to my quarters?

(Captain)! Can I have a moment of your time? I must tell you of a great miracle that has happened!
When I woke in the morn, I found by my pillow... A gift from Santa!
Oh, my apologies! I've been carrying on in the most undignified manner. I was very eager to share my joy with someone, see.
But I get ahead of myself. I haven't even glanced at the contents. Let me open it now.

Why, this is... A ticket for a shoulder massage? Oh? It appears there's also a letter. Let's see here...

"Hey, pops! Man, you always look like somethin' the cat dragged in! Well now, you can just say the word, and I'll give you a shoulder rub, 'kay?"
Hm? I say, (Captain), was Santa Claus always one to speak with such frivolity?

Drusilla

Santa's coming tonight! Aren't you excited!
Huh? What was that, (Captain)? Yes, I told you—I'm a full grown woman now!
What? Santa doesn't come for grown-ups?
O-of course I know that! What do you take me for!
No! I wasn't expecting Santa to come! I'm all grown up after all!
(Sob, sob. My presents...)

Why hello, (Captain). Happy holidays!
This year we had a splendid feast. Though, it's not as fantastic as any party my house has ever held.
You want... to know more about my parties?
Haha... Alright, I'll tell you.
In halls as large as ships, we partook of an extraordinary meal and... We had the most famous guests we could find!
Then... In the evening, my great grandmother would tell us a story...
Those times were so wonderful...
...
Oh no... It's nothing. Please don't pat me.
Everyone here is oh so kind. I really am... grateful to you.
That is why this night will also be great!
Oh... Please stop coddling me!

What? You want to put decorations on the tree? Allow me to assist!
The party will be evermore the better with sparkly things hanging to and fro.
Hm? This stone is beautiful! What would this fetch? A pretty rupie, I suppose...
What! How can that be... Is it really worth so little?
Well... I already knew that!
I only meant that this silly rock would easily be mistaken for something of more value!
Enough prattle. Hurry up and decorate the tree!

Look, (Captain)! It's snowing! It's just what we need for a festive holiday!
You think I'm making way too big of a deal about it? Well, I just thought seeing snow would lift everyone's spirits!
The snow piles atop the holiday tree with the sparkle of the holiday lights, and the children merrily make their snowmen...
It's as if the town puts on its face to delight and please all who dwell within it... Ah, how picturesque, don't you think? I read the scene in a book!
I am a lady after all! So it shouldn't come as a surprise that I find such joy in simply taking in sights and sounds! Rather than sully myself in the snow, I—
Huh? You want to play with me in the snow, (Captain)? And you won't budge until I say "yes"?
Haha, very well then! I suppose I can accompany you for a bit!

Elmelaura

Happy holidays to you too!
Don't worry, (Captain), just leave the cooking to me!

Mwahaha... I'm honored you chose me to make a holiday feast!
Everyone's going to love it! I stake my reputation as a cook on it!
Grilled chicken, roast beef, salads, assorted cookies, and cakes! Oh, I can't wait!

Check out this gorgeous pattern on my cleaver when I raise it up to the snowy moonlit sky!
I need to keep this massive cleaver in tip-top shape if I'm to make you the best food on this side of the skies!
I'll treat you to a super nice gourmet meal once I'm done sharpening this thing!

What! You really want to help me prepare the holiday feast?
Hehe. I understand that feeling.
I bet your homemade food will make the best present ever!
Hehe. And I'm proud that you've chosen me to be your sous chef.
Oh, we'd better get our aprons on.
Let's get cooking! We'll make an amazing dinner for our beloved crewmates!

Eso

Captain, is something going on? Everyone seems to be in particularly good spirits for some reason.
Happy holidays? I'm not sure I understand, but seeing everyone else having fun puts me in a good mood, too.
Care to tell me about these holidays of yours, Captain? I'm sure I'll have even more fun once I know the details!

You told me of what this night meant last year, (Captain).
So this year I know the proper greeting for the season.
Happy holidays!
Did I get it right?

On this night, the town sparkles like the starry sky.
I like that the darkness does not truly fall.
Not... Not that I am scared! But everyone can enjoy the twinkling lights.
So a bright night is best. That is all.
(Captain)... Why are you laughing?

I heard a mysterious elder dressed in red enters people's homes on this night every year.
I will not sleep. I will stand guard by the children's rooms.
What? The elder distributes presents to the children? Then... he is a good person?
I see. In that case, I should show my appreciation for his kindness. I still will not be sleeping.

Farrah

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
Hehe... Katalina and I have been exchanging gifts since our days in the imperial army!
But this year, I got you something too, (Captain)! I hope you like it!

Teeheehee...
Hm? You're wondering why I'm so happy?
Eheheh...
I'm going on a date with Katalina today!
Katalina's all mine for the day! I couldn't have asked for for a better present! Eheheh...

Happy holidays!
What brings you here, (Captain)?
Katalina and I were making candles! Bunching together different-colored wax makes for really pretty ones!
Katalina's are the prettiest—as pretty as the seas of Auguste!
She said anyone is capable of doing it, but I have to disagree! I was almost moved to tears!
When night falls, I'm going to light up this handmade candle for a private chat with Katalina!
A dreamy fun time with Katalina awaits me tonight!
Oh, I can't wait!

Aha! There you are, (Captain)! I've been looking all over for you.
There's a party tonight, so I came to deliver your invitation.
Wouldn't I rather be spending time with Katalina, you ask?
Heh heh heh. I'm way ahead of you!
You see, the ones hosting the party are me and Katalina!
We're preparing everything, just the two us. So basically I'll get to spend the whole day with her!
It's going to super fun tonight, so I hope you come too.
Well, I'll be going now. I've got more invitations to hand out!
Then after that it's decorations and making foo—Oh no! Katalina! Don't start without me!

Feather

Happy holidays!
I heard an old man in red is coming to visit the kids in town today!
Sounds like a true warrior... I'd love to fight him some day!

What's wrong, (Captain)? You're feeling cold?
Then I'll warm you up... by making you quiver at the sight of these fists!
You should feel warmer once you start shaking... I hope!

Hear me out, (Captain). I've got a wish to make.
We're in holiday season—the perfect time to spend with our loved ones. You know what I'm sayin', right?
I want to spend the time off with you. Because you're the only one who can do me this solid.
So you'll hear me out then? Thanks, (Captain)! You rock!
All right, here goes! I took out a few monsters just now, but I'm still itchin' for more!
Let's you and I heat up these ice-cold festivities with a good ol' fashioned romp!
Ooh... (Captain)! You're makin' me feel warm all over!

Deck those halls, (Captain).
I still can't forget that powerful punch you landed on me last year...
The fire within you hit me hard and spread throughout my body!
I want to get stronger, (Captain)!
Scratch that, I have to get stronger!
And I need you to get me there! So if you'd indulge me...
I challenge you to a holiday deathmatch!
Basically we're gonna bust it up all night long without getting a wink of sleep!

Flesselles

Season's greetings!
That reminds me... This is the time of year for exchanging presents, right?
I'm sorry, but I don't know much about giving gifts...
I know! I'll tell you all about the mountains instead!
Whether it's about the animals or the plant life, just ask me anything!

Huh? I look sleepy? Well, yeah... You got me.
Last year was so much fun... And I was so looking forward to the party this year that I couldn't sleep.
After all, I love celebrating with you, (Captain)!
But don't worry! I got you a great gift this year!
All right, (Captain)! I'll see you later at the party!

Say, (Captain)! I heard that tonight is supposed to be the most stunning night of the year. Is that true?
Huh? Not the most stunning but the stillest? Stillest... The stillest night... What's that mean exactly?
Ohhh, I see... Because the children go to sleep, so the world grows quiet and mystical? In an innocent way?
Hm... I think I know what you're saying.
When I was a kid, my mom and pop would tell me stories about the mountain goddess that sounded a lot like that.
I didn't really believe them at first, but when I finally met the goddess while standing on the mountain...
Heh-heh! I'll tell you all about it later on tonight!
Hey, that's a promise, (Captain)! So don't you go to bed yet!

(Captain), I have something I wanna ask you about.
You know the man who's supposed to come at night... Santa?
Is he really a he? Or a woman?
A man? Okay...
It's nothing... I was just worried because I heard that Santa delivers presents...
If Santa were a woman...
I'd be afraid to incur the jealousy of the goddess...
But if he's a man, then that's not a problem!
Phew... I'm so relieved. Now I'll sleep like a baby.

Galadar

Bwahahah!
Sorry I'm missin' the white hair.
But a red-haired Santa's just as good, right?

Bahahaha! Season's greetings, (Captain)!
Ye've been a good we'an this bygone year, so Galadar Santa here's gotten ye a gift!
Och, sae ye don't like bein' spoken to like a child?
Gahahaha! If ye ask me, ye're still just a fledgling!
But enough blatherin'! Here, have a taste of mah special steel candy canes!

Dahahaha! Pardon my steely stench, but Galadar Santa's here again!
Anyhoo, have ye been a good kid this year, (Captain)?
Oho, so ye have, eh? This calls fer a present from Galadar Santa!
What's that? Ye bet it's just a lump of cold steel?
Dahahaha! Right on! Nothin' but steel here!
But ye've got another thing comin' if ye think that's all I've got!
This is forged from the finest steel ye can find in my hearth.
With layers upon layers of steel coating serried upon it.
Dahahaha... A steel cake made by one of the steeliest men on this side of the skies!
No need to say another word! Go on and feast on my specially steely mille-feuille!

Dahahaha! Galadar Santa returns at last, tae answer the prayers of all the wee lads an' lasses!
I trust ye've been a good we'an this year as well, Cap'n?
Ohh! That's what I like to hear! Well then, ye've earned yer present!
What's that? You wannae know what manner of iron I have for ye this year?
Why... I do believe ye've come to look forward to my gifts!
Dahaha! Ye gladden me heart! An' I'll nae disappoint ye!
I tempered this especially for ye, (Captain)!
A dessert that one an' all can enjoy on this holiest of nights...
Galadar's Special Steely Puddin'!

Garma

Happy holidays.
I hear this Santa character delivers presents today.
If I can track him down, I wonder if I could make off with all his loot...

Is it that time of the year again?
It's easy to get carried away when you're feeling festive. You'd best be careful.
At the same time, we should be thankful for the opportunity to just kick back and relax.

Happy holidays, eh?
Wrong. I'm not celebrating anything here.
I was just taken aback by what a frivolous greeting that is.
Not that I'd go up in arms about it. You enjoy the holidays as you like, (Captain).

'Tis the season.
Everyone's at home cutting cake and celebrating the holiday with neighbors, not a concern in the world.
Back when I was a bandit, I never thought that I'd be spending the winter like this.
You say I seem giddy? Heh-heh, come on...
I was simply stating a fact. I suppose it might a bit touching though...

Hazen

Happy holidays!
Today is the day good little boys and girls get presents.
(Captain), have you been good this year? If so, you get a present.
And if not, you get a nice big fist to the... Hahaha! No problem this year, right? Well then. Here's your present.

Another year of good behavior, (Captain)?
Heheh. I've been observing your actions. You've been the very model of decency.
I made sure to get you a present befitting such a bastion of virtue. Here. It's yours.

What am I doing in these red clothes with this white bag?
Haha. Why, I'm fulfilling the wishes of the local tikes.
Actually I was with those children just moments ago. And to be honest, I'm a little tired.
But don't worry, (Captain). I haven't forgotten your present.
You've been a bastion of virtue this year as well, so go ahead. Take it.

(Captain), happy holidays!
Hahah, the children clung to me this year as well.
I was just traipsing around town in my red outfit and hat.
No worries of course. I made sure to prepare you a present as well. Here, it's yours.
Hm? You, too, have a gift?
Hehe... I guess we can definitely cross you off the naughty list.
Thank you. I appreciate it.

Herja

Heh heh. It sure is quiet tonight, (Captain).
On a night like this, two people illuminated only by candlelight...
It's the perfect setting for drills.
Haha, I'm just kidding.
I must thank you for letting me in your crew, (Captain).
It's my fondest wish to spend another peaceful holiday evening like this with you.
Next year, the year after, and so on.
Have a wonderful evening.

On certain islands, I hear this holy night is dedicated to... L-lovers...
Have you ever... spent time with a lover on this holiest of nights?
I... I'm sorry. Forgive me. I don't mean to be so prying. What am I thinking...
You have my deepest apologies, (Captain). Please forget my question!
Agh... I will never be able to live up to my father's legacy if I'm so busy worrying about such trite matters.
Curses to these superfluous thoughts! Will I ever be free from pondering such silly things?
I'm sorry, (Captain). I need to clear my mind of such thoughts. To do so, I will be going for a run!

Um... (Captain)? Forgive me for asking this out of the blue, but...
Do you have any plans today?
Really? Great! Then let's spend the day together!
I keep thinking about the tradition of spending this day with the person you love...
Someday I might be in a position to do that... So I have to prepare!
Ah, wait, no! I shouldn't burden you with such a selfish request!
Agh... My impure thoughts have gotten the better of me once again!
(Captain), I've changed my mind! I want you to spend today training with me!
We'll train until my mind is as pure as the driven snow!

(Captain)... Should you really be out here during the holiday party?
Hm? You saw me come out and chased after me?
Haha. Thanks for caring, (Captain).
I had such a good time with all the fun and drinks that my body started heating up. Thought I'd come out for some fresh air.
I've always kept up my training during the holidays even though I gave my agents time off.
I was too obsessed with getting stronger to know how to take it easy and enjoy myself at such occasions.
Haha, how I've changed ever since meeting you, (Captain). I... hope you'll take responsibility.
Oh, just kidding. I guess being in such a good mood makes me more glib. A bit strange perhaps, given how chilly I'm feeling.
Say, why don't we go back inside and hang out there? We'll make this a night to remember!

Ippatsu (Summer)

Happy holidays! Santa must get mighty cold traveling alone in winter.
But it's nothing a warm bowl of ramen couldn't fix!

Jolly holly holidays, Captain!
Care for a little stroll before ol' Santa drops by?
A piping-hot bowl of ramen should be a fine, festive delight on a cold winter day!
My treat of course! Take it as my holiday gift to you!

I'm telling you, ramen tastes great when the season turns chilly!
The longest winter night is the best time to sit down with a few bowls of ramen!
So how about it, (Captain)? Let's grab a bite while we wait for Santa!
Ha-ha! If he shows up while we're eating...
I'll treat him to a bowl of ramen too!

'Tis the season!
Brr... It sure is cold though. Looks like it'll snow tonight.
There's a ramen cart around here that I've been meaning to try. How about we check it out?
They say this one only shows up on the most holy and silent of nights.
Oho! So you're interested? All right. I'll lead the way.
There's something magical about ramen on a snowy night, don't you think?

Jasmine

Happy holidays! I hear today is going to be a wonderful day!
Yeah, hehe! Looks like I heard right! The rabbits, the squirrels... oh, everyone looks so happy!
(Captain), are you happy today too?
Huh? Oh no! Your hands are half-frozen!

Hey, (Captain)! Over here!
It's really chilly today, so let's have the animals warm us up!
Hm? It's better if the animals aren't here? You mean you'd rather be alone with me?
Eheheh... No, I don't mind at all... Let's spend the day together then...

Today's a day to spend with your loved ones... Will you spend the day with me, (Captain)?
Teehee, thank you. I hope you don't mind my animals joining us.
I love you all the same!

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
Why don't we decorate the tree together this year?
The animals have gathered lots of ripe fruits and berries for us.
It's all for making the tree look super pretty.
You can hang up the ones you like too, (Captain)!
Hehe, with you and all the animals hustling about...
Decorating the tree tonight feels like a party!

Joel

Happy holidays. I bet even Santa Claus can't make it to the ends of the sky.
Or can he?
It would be so awesome if he could!

Do you think Santa's sleigh could reach the bottom of the sky?
If I pleaded with him enough, I wonder if he'd take me there...
Then again, maybe he's too busy.
I should've asked when I was a kid. Instead of a present, I should've asked for a sleigh ride.
Ah... But maybe it's for the best.
If I'd asked, I might never have met you and the crew, (Captain). Yeah, I'm glad I met you instead!

Mm... It really is pretty...
Hm? (Captain)... Are you curious about this book of paintings?
I got it when I was a little kid. Do you wanna take a look?
Supposedly this painting is by an artist who was fascinated with the bottom of the sky, so she drew what she imagined it'd be like.
I bet she was a lot like me... Probably read fairy tales and thought a lot about a huge sea far beneath the clouds...
I wanted to meet her one day and ask her all sorts of things... But I heard she passed away a long time ago.
Looking at this picture, I wonder if Santa Claus will get to see a sight like this tonight! If he does, he sure is lucky...

What a quiet night it is... Then again, tonight is that special night.
Oh, of course. Because I brought you away from the party.
Hm, sorry about that. I just wanted to talk to you alone.
Especially after seeing how pretty it was outside from the window.
Hm, what I wanted to talk about? Well, I didn't exactly have something in mind.
But I was thinking that even at the bottom of the skies, they might be celebrating the festivities the same way we are... How strange that'd be...
Is it as quiet down there as it is here now, or is it always quiet in the Crimson Horizon?
The bottom of the skies is all I talk about? Well, it's always something I dreamed of as a kid.
I'd like to go there with you someday if you're up for it.
I don't know how many winter holidays will come before then, but I'm sure the time will come eventually...

Karteira

Oh, please...
Holiday gift-giving is a scam created by merchants to peddle their wares.
But if you knew that, of course it wouldn't be any fun...
Hey, what are you doing! Don't just open my bag without asking!
Ah, too late. All right then, here's your present.
Thanks for always bein' there. Just take your present and go. Happy holidays!

Are you joking? You wanna invite me to a party at this time of year?
Listen here! The holiday season is a busy time for us merchants. We're makin' last minute deals and closin' the books!
Good golly! Don't make that face at me!
Aw, when you're pleadin' with those eyes, I just can't...
Ah, fine. You win... You're makin' me feel guilty when I haven't done anything...

Heh-heh! Happy holidays, (Captain)!
I'm lookin' chipper, y'say?
Well, can't say that I ain't! People're buyin' all sorts of things for gift givin'.
Heh-heh! Made a pretty profit this season!
By the way... I uhh... I might be free tomorrow night...
So what? So what?! I'll tell ya what! You know how busy merchants are 'round this time!
But this year I tried as hard as a horse to keep tomorrow night free...
And why d'you reckon I did that? Go ahead. Guess.
...
Humph. Forget it. Cap'n numbskull...

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
Hey, dontcha think Santa Claus is awesome?
He gives out all those presents to kids, and he does it for free. Free! How's he bankroll that kinda venture?
He must be rollin' in rupies. Man... I wanna be that rich someday.
Oh! Light bulb!
If I can get him to take me on as an apprentice, I can learn all his entrepreneurial tricks!
Hehehe... How's that for a killer business plan!
No time to waste! Gotta go find this fella if I'm gonna strike a deal!

Karva

Happy holidays!
So let me get this straight... Santa will bring me anything I want, right?
Even if it's a map to a treasure? Located in an impenetrable ruin? Filled with deadly traps? He'll really bring it?
Ooh, I can't wait!

Hey, (Captain)! Happy holidays!
You wanna know what I'm up to? I'm deckin' the halls with traps instead of holly.
Come on! Ha-ha-ha. Santa's gotta be bored just handin' out presents, right?
So how about a little present for him? I thought I'd give him his just desserts. Know what I mean?
Heheh! Of course they aren't bear traps! They're only enough to make him jump.
The finishing touch is a trick thank-you note... Heheheh! It's the perfect season to show off my trap expertise!

Heh-heh-heh! I'm thinkin' I should set a trap for Santa again this year!
Huh? That's a bad idea, you say? Well, last year he didn't make it past the trap to the trick thank-you note after all...
But Santa's just gotta be lookin' forward to a trap again this year, I think!
Second time's the charm, right?
All righty! I'd better go get that trick thank-you note ready for this year too!

Hmm, what to do...
Oh! Hiya, (Captain). I was just thinkin' of what kind of trap I should set for Santa this year.
I'm guessin' my thank-you letter from last year didn't reach him.
So I thought I'd make things a lil' easy for me this time around.
But I can't make it too easy for myself. Don't wanna lose the thrill, after all!
Hmm... I'm really stumped here.
Well, (Captain)? You got any riveting ideas?
Come on, I know you've got something good!
I'll give you a real thrill as a present in exchange!
So let's hear what you've got!

Krugne

Season's greetings.
Ha-ha-ha. They say that this season is magical. Are you sure you want to spend the holidays with a guy like me?
Heheh... I'm glad. Now let's make the most of it!

Ha-ha-ha. I made a present for you.
As it's my specialty, you can guess what it is, but I hope you'll like it.
I made six in all though, so you'll have to roll the dice and see which one you get.
Heheh. Go on and give them a roll!

(Captain), would it make you smile if I baked a cake for you?
Ha-ha-ha. That's nice of you to think that I might look good in an apron!
The truth is that I watched Katalina bake a cake and decided to give it a try myself...
What's with that suspicious look? I can imitate anything after seeing it only once.
You knew that already? Then you should know that my cake is a perfect reproduction of Katalina's unique—
Well, I didn't expect you to run away... Ha-ha-ha. I guess I'll see if Vyrn is interested in having a slice...

(Captain), good timing.
How would you like some cake from me?
Hey, I know I'm not exactly the best patissier around, but can you at least pretend to not be so taken aback?
Haha, just kidding.
The only reason you ran away last year was because I tried to replicate Katalina's cake.
But this year, I tried imitating a few other flavors instead.
Hm, why six, you ask?
Hahaha. Don't you already know?
Anyhow why don't you try rolling this die?
Just be aware that it can land on a critical or fumble as well.

La Coiffe

It's the most wonderful time of the year at last!
Hee hee, you know it, don't you? That's right. I love the holiday spirit.
But then, this is the busiest time of year for gardeners like us.
It's usually super busy! We have to make sure all the plants are looking extra festive in town and across the whole island!
But this year, I only have the one tree aboard the ship to worry about.
Funny, though. I don't feel the slightest bit sad about that.
Hee hee, I wonder why that is? You have any idea, Captain?

Tis the season, (Captain)!
Now this isn't something you see everyday.
What's gotcha lookin' so excited, (Captain)?
Oh, dear... Could it be that you're excited for a certain man in red to come?
Aww, (Captain)... You're so adorable sometimes!
You've never stopped believing in him, have you?
Surely it's because you've had the gift of friends to celebrate and fill your heart with joy every year.
That's my favorite part about you, (Captain).
Hehe, oh dear... Now you've... hehe... got me all excited too!

How exciting! It's that time of the year of the again, (Captain)!
Look, look! I made a beautiful holiday wreath!
And this is a present for you. Put it around your neck.
Wow! How cute! You're all sparkly just like a holiday tree.
Ehehe... Looking at you just makes this day even better!
Even my heart shines like a star! Just kidding... Hehehe...

Happy holidays! You excited about the festivities, (Captain)?
I'm snipping some tree branches right now to use as hands for snow pals!
It's a special request from some of the kids in the crew. I guess they're really counting on me.
Ehehe, just imagining their faces light up gets me all hyped.
Here's an extra happy smile for you, (Captain)!
Just my way of spreading the joy. May you have a merry winter season, (Captain). Teehee...

Lamretta (R)

Happy... holi... daze... Oogh... My head's killin' me...
Not sure I have it in me to party with everyone right now...
Urp... I'm gonna crash in my room... I'll poke my head in again when things calm down...

Nngha... Guess I overdid it with the spirits...
You really picked a good time to show up, (Captain).
Couldja... maybe get me some water?
Blegh... M-my head's killing me.
Hm? Water? For me? Thanks... Gulp, gulp, gulp... Ahhh...
Ungh... Is this really water? It tastes kind of... sugary.

Ugh... Happy... holidays...
Ah, (Captain)... Are you enjoying the party? Pant...
Even though... I'm here... Sorry, I can't...
Hm? What're you... giving me?
Eek... Aah? C-cold snow? Feels nice...
Pant... That feels better...
Ugh... Never mind...
I'm gonna sleep in my room... When I feel better, we can exchange presents...

Huff... Huff...
Bu-urrpp!
Hap... Holid... Burp!
Huff... (Captain)? I wancha... to hab a good night...
Buh... If you stay here... Oh you'll get a wet present you really... won't want...
Wha?
Huh?
W-what... That's not what I meant... I was talking about a monster...
Bah!
There it is! Hiccup! Let ol' Lamretta... take care of it...
(Captain)... go on without me... Live... for the both of us...
I... can handle this... So hurry...
Go... Now... While I can hold it off... Run you fool...

Leonora

Happy holidays, Boss!
You must have a great many things to attend to at this time of year, but remember that your health always comes first!

Holidays spent with the crew are the best.
I used to till the fields, back before you picked me up. The fields were always so cold.
But now that I'm surrounded by so much food and gift-giving, I could cry.
Sob... Boss, I've decided—I'm following you for life!

How nice that we get to spend another merry holiday season... You know, it's got me thinking about things...
What do you say to checking out the snow together?
I've always wanted to watch the falling holiday snow with you.
Yes? Really? Woo-hoo! Much appreciated, Boss!
Let's get your lizard friend to come along too! Jirokichi can play with him!

Boss, season's greetings! Jirokichi and me are jumping with joy to spend this holy night with you!
We heard you're taking us out somewhere later?
Ooh! This year's party is gonna be at that super fancy restaurant?
Gyahaha! Our crew's really come into its own to be able to dine at such a nice place!
Just thinking of all we've been through in our travels brings a tear to my eye!
Can we get going already? I'm just dying to go!

Lowain (Summer)

Happy holidays!
This season's gonna be the best ever! Be merry!

Lowain: Smarts!
All Three: Woo-hoo!
Elsam: Moolah!
All Three: Woo-hoo!
Tomoi: Generosity!
All Three: Woo-hoo!
Lowain: Well, if it ain't the captain! Season's greetings!
Elsam and Tomoi: Happy holidays!
Lowain: We were talking about the presents we want from Santa!
I could never ask for Kat though. If she really came to me all gift-wrapped, it could only mean Santa brainwashed her! And that's not what I want!
Wait up, bros! I just realized something!
Elsam and Tomoi: Tell us about it, man!
Lowain: Listen good... Santa... and Kat...
All Three: Kat dressed up as Santa?
Elsam: My mind's exploding just thinking about it!
Tomoi: Oh man, can you picture that?
Lowain: Aah! I think my heart just skipped a beat!
All Three: Tubular, dude!

Lowain: You bros got any ideas?
Elsam: It ain't ever an easy choice...
Tomoi: Might as well just stick with the usual chicken.
Lowain: Goin' traditional's always nutritional, but with our crew gettin' so big, I dunno anymore, man...
Elsam: Word up. Everyone's got different tastes.
Tomoi: We could always go eeny, meeny, miny, moe, you know.
Lowain: Ah, season's greetings, (Captain). We were sweatin' hardcore over what to serve tonight.
Tomoi: This is, like, boss-level stuff we're talkin' here.
Elsam: Well, if we're just goin' up against a few imperial imp-eciles, us three with Kat wouldn't even break a sweat.
Lowain: But when the ship hits the fan, Kat ain't against getting a helping hand from Lancey.
Elsam: Synergy's everything in battle, if you know what I'm talkin' about.
Lowain: But, dude, we're still kinda screwed with this dinner menu...
How 'bout we kick up the vibes for now? Might spark a few ideas.
A one, and a two...
All Three: Wahey!
Lowain: Whoooaa! I just got, like, a major flash of inspiration, dudes!

Elsam & Tomoi: Season's greets, (Captain)!
Elsam: Oh, Lowain? He's preppin' tonight's holiday grub.
Tomoi: We're tryna reach new heights, so it might take a while.
Lowain: Dum-de-do...
Blech!
Whew, talk about a close one... Almost infected the grub with my barf...
Ah, happy holidays, (Captain). We were tryna make eats the Baotorda way.
That Draph hunk's really got his own style down.
Elsam: He's just burstin' with Lumiel vibes.
Tomoi: We figured Lowain could be more Lumiel-like by incorporatin' humming into his routine.
Lowain: Tonight's, like, the Holy Eve after all. We figured a change of pace was in order.
Elsam: So I thought long and hard about what makes the dude's cookin' so special, and then I figured it out! The secret ingredient's gotta be his hummin'!
Tomoi: I can't get enough of how his low-frequency humming's totally in sync with the simmer of his frying pan.
Lowain: The Lumiel way ain't so much about vibes; it's more about goin' with the flow.
Like, if you put too much heart into it, the flavor ends up full of heart too.
Tomoi: Anyways, we figured humming would be a good place to start...
Lowain: La-di-da— Ngh...
Elsam: Looks like you're not cut out for that bass sound, Lowain...
Lowain: Shoot... I might have to get in some voice training before next year rolls around...

Lowain

Happy holidays!
This season's gonna be the best ever! Be merry!

Lowain: Smarts!
All Three: w00t! w00t!
Elsam: Moolah!
All Three: w00t! w00t!
Tomoi: Generosity!
All Three: w00t! w00t!
Lowain: Well, if it ain't the captain! Season's greetings!
Elsam and Tomoi: Happy holidays!
Lowain: We were talking about the presents we want from Santa!
I could never ask for Kat though. If she really came to me all gift-wrapped, it could only mean Santa brainwashed her! And that's not what I want!
Wait up, bros! I just realized something!
Elsam and Tomoi: Tell us about it, man!
Lowain: Listen good... Santa... and Kat...
All Three: Kat dressed up as Santa?
Elsam: My mind's exploding just thinking about it!
Tomoi: Oh man, can you picture that?
Lowain: Aah! I think my heart just skipped a beat!
All Three: Tubular, dude!

Lowain: You bros got any ideas?
Elsam: It ain't ever an easy choice...
Tomoi: Might as well just stick with the usual chicken.
Lowain: Goin' traditional's always nutritional, but with our crew gettin' so big, I dunno anymore, man...
Elsam: Word up. Everyone's got different tastes.
Tomoi: We could always go eeny, meeny, miny, moe, you know.
Lowain: Ah, season's greetings, (Captain). We were sweatin' hardcore over what to serve tonight.
Tomoi: This is, like, boss-level stuff we're talkin' here.
Elsam: Well, if we're just goin' up against a few imperial imp-eciles, us three with Kat wouldn't even break a sweat.
Lowain: But when the ship hits the fan, Kat ain't against getting a helping hand from Lancey.
Elsam: Synergy's everything in battle, if you know what I'm talkin' about.
Lowain: But, dude, we're still kinda screwed with this dinner menu...
How 'bout we kick up the vibes for now? Might spark a few ideas.
A one, and a two...
All Three: Wahey!
Lowain: Whoooaa! I just got, like, a major flash of inspiration, dudes!

Elsam & Tomoi: Season's greets, (Captain)!
Elsam: Oh, Lowain? He's preppin' tonight's holiday grub.
Tomoi: We're tryna reach new heights, so it might take a while.
Lowain: Dum-de-do...
Blech!
Whew, talk about a close one... Almost infected the grub with my barf...

Lunalu (Summer)

Today's festivities aren't really my thing.
I've gotta get back to drawing anyway...
My next work? I'll let you in on a few details.
It's a story about Santa's mischievous son who befriends a fragile, sickly young man. I'm drawing the chimney scene now...

Ah, the holiday season always reminds me of my childhood. Especially the year I came to love all things romantic.
My parents bought me a book on anatomy, and certain drawings in it really grabbed my attention.
My parents got the wrong idea and thought I wanted to be a doctor or something. I felt so guilty seeing their excitement.
Oh look, it's snowing!

The scenery is so pretty... Bright little snowflakes falling gently through the air...
Tonight the sky is overflowing with love, don't you think? The weather is chilly, but the day is filled with warm hearts...
I bet that fancy guy is saying I made dinner reservations just for you today...
And the young guy says I'm not dressed for such a nice place...
Then the fancy guy says Don't fret. No one's stopping us...
Ahhh... How sweet!

(Captain), do you happen to be free right now?
I was just thinking of taking a walk around town on this festive night for some creative inspiration.
I thought of going alone at first, given how busy everyone is and that I'd simply be drawing sketches.
But there's so much going on out there that I'm not sure I can handle it alone.
So please... If you can just accompany me...

Happy holidays! Santa must be nuts to be delivering all those presents for free! He could make a fortune!
But maybe he's just a good person. A bit like you!

Hey, (Captain), did you see? There's gonna be a real feast tonight!
The best cooks in the crew are trying to outdo each other, I heard.
The table's overflowing already. I wonder if we can finish it all... Then again, there are plenty of crew members, so maybe we can?
Hm? I seem excited? I guess so... Maybe.
To gather with friends and have a great meal without worry...
It may seem like everyday to you, but for me it's a special occasion! Ha-ha!

Ah, (Captain)! Happy holidays...
Ahhh... It's nothing really. I'm just a little worn out from all the hustle and bustle.
I sent a greeting card to Altos and that old codger. Syr said that I should.
Hm... I wonder if the card was good enough... Feels like it needed something more...
I probably should've talked to you before I sent it out actually. Next time though you'll lend me an ear, won't you?

So I just put it through here and...
Ah, (Captain), how are holiday preparations coming along?
Me? I'm making decorations for the tree.
This himmeli here is furnished from straw and string. I'll admit it looks kind of plain though.
The old man made himmeli every year to pray for a bountiful harvest.
But in my case...
Ah!
Treasure, treasure galore—by my bedside!
Ahaha! I wish!

Nene

Happy holidays to ya!
What's that? Hand over the present, you say? You've got a lot of nerve there!
But I'll tell ya... I've just about lost my cheer for the season.
I wonder how long it's been... You know, since I became the one givin' gifts instead of gettin' 'em.
Ha-ha-ha! I better stop. Got me thinkin' about my darlin' husband.
But I deserve a gift every now and then, don't you think? So, (Captain), how about my present?

Hey, did you hear?
The gift exchange's been canceled this year.
Why are you so surprised? A memo went around the airship and everything!
Yae's been a good girl this year too... It's a real shame.
I even got you somethin' nice this year, (Captain).
A real shame indeed... But my hands are tied!

(Captain)! Happy holidays to ya!
I heard what ya did! You went and got my little girl a present, didn't ya?
Thanks a bunch, hon!
I think I might've misjudged you. You're a lot nicer than I thought!
Hm... Or maybe I'm lookin' at this the wrong way. Are you goin' after my Yae?
Ha-ha-ha! I'm just foolin'! Why are you makin' that face at me?
Ha-ha-ha! You're hilarious! Pickin' on you is worth the trouble!

It's already that long-awaited time of the year again, huh, (Captain)?
I mean, I wasn't waitin' for it though.
Seriously though, it must be nice not having a care in the world...
Meanwhile, I haven't even decided on a present for my little Yae yet!
Not to mention I still haven't gotten you your present either!
But I really was plannin' on having something for ya today, really!
Wait, ya really believe me, don't you?
Haha, thank you kindly, (Captain)!

Norcel

Happy holidays!
What's that? You're worried about Santa Claus making it here through all this snow?
Ah! No problem! Our town gets tons of snow, but he always makes it there just fine.

Santa Claus must be havin' it rough in this cold, yeah?
I heard he comes on a sleigh, and that's more than a mite chillier than an airship, I reckon.
It'd sure be nice if he could stop and have some warm milk and cookies with us...
But he's so busy, there's no way he'll have time, yeah?

Good golly! I've never seen a cake this big! I guess that's what you get from the big city.
You didn't buy it, but you made it yourself? Well, hot dog! I can't believe my eyes or my ears!
Thanks for the slice, (Captain)! Yum... Hm?
This cake is so good I wanna go swimmin' in a pool of the batter! Even the apple on top had me droolin' for more!
Ooh wee, I'm in heaven!

Dad fetch my buttons, if it ain't (Captain)! A happy holiday to ya!
I tell ya, today's a real special day. This big 'ol city's quiet as a mouse for once... It feels real blessed or somethin'.
Huh? You're wondering what I was doin' up this way all by my lonesome?
All ya'll in the crew're gonna have that big holiday hoe-down, but I just get so gosh-darn nervous...
I sure hate to ask you a favor, but... (Captain), would you mind stickin' by my side if I go?
No foolin'? Well shucks, (Captain), there ain't nothing gonna spook me when you're by my side!
A little bird told me there's gonna be some nice and tasty cake at that party.
Last year was such a hoot. I get ants in my pants just thinkin' 'bout this one!

Pavidus

Pavidus: Season's greetings!
Bird: Coo, coo! (Happy holidays!)
Pavidus: (Captain)! Why don't you come eat with us? You can warm up with us too!
Chick: Chirp, chirp! (Great idea! We'll warm you up!)
Chirp, chirp! (Make yourself at home! Come warm up over here! Don't be shy now!)
Pavidus: You're a little too small, though...
Chick: Chirpy chirp! (I'm what? Why you...)
Pavidus: Hey! Ow! That hurts! I'm sorry!

Bird: Coo, coo! (Pavi! Let's sing a holiday song!)
Pavidus: Uh... That's a little sudden, don't you think? And I don't really know any...
Oh! (Captain)! I've been asked to sing a holiday song...
But I don't know any. Do you think you could teach me one?

Bird: Caw, caw! (Pavi! It's the holiday season! Don't you have a present for me?)
Pavidus: O-of course I do! Here...
Bird: Caw, caw! (Oh! I knew you wouldn't forget!)
Pavidus: I f-figured you'd come asking—I mean, I wanted to show you my thanks for all you do...
Bird: Caw, caw! (Hey! I heard that!)
Pavidus: Eep! Ow, ow, ow! I'm sorry!
N-never mind him, (Captain)... Ow, ow, ow! Just give me a second and I'll give you your present too!

Bird: Quack, quack! (Pavi, It's that special night! Dress as Santa!)
Pavidus: What? I can't do that! Right, (Captain)?
Choose: You'd look good as Santa.
Pavidus: Really? Y-you're not kidding?
Chick: Chirp! (You don't trust us or (Captain)?)
Pavidus: I-I didn't say that...
All right, master. T-this year, I'll be Santa!
Bird: Quack! (Good! Get on it! Start delivering those presents!)
Quack! (As for me, I just want 100 different kinds of nuts!)
Chick: Chirp! (I want a great big house! And it better be made of wood!)
Pavidus: Eeep! You mean I'm supposed to give all of you presents too?
(Captain)... Please help me get all the things they want!

Petra

It's the holiday season, isn't it? Hm? Do you want me to use my powers to make it snow?
I'm not so sure I can, but since you're the one that's asking, (Captain), I'll give it my best shot!

Take a look at this, (Captain)! They were handing these out in town!
If we write what we want on a piece of paper and put it inside this stocking, we'll get it as a present the next morning!
What are you going to write, (Captain)? I wonder if I should write Mom...
Actually I think I'd rather look for my mom myself.

Word is that he soars the skies to hand out presents to all the good kids.
A cold northerly wind blows during these nights. It even snows sometimes.
I wonder if Santa Claus can read the winds. It worries me a bit...
Do you know how I might be able to meet him? Surely there's a thing or two I can help him with.
Hm? The kids on the crew already have their share of presents, so there's no need?
Sorry, I didn't know you were helping to deliver the presents too.
I guess I can just take it easy and enjoy the holidays then.

Spending the holidays with your significant other is certainly one way to go about it.
I hear the weather's very important during such an occasion.
For setting up the mood in particular.
Maybe I can lend a helping hand with that!
(Captain), do you know what sort of weather is preferable for such an evening?
A starlit sky with gentle snowfall, you say?
But those events occur in completely different climates!
To make both happen concurrently might be beyond my powers...
Still, I'm sure it'd make for a wonderful spectacle.
I wonder... if I continue my training as a wind shaman, will I one day be able to summon such wondrous weather?
If I do, you'll be the first person I show it to, (Captain)!

Philosophia

Santa...
So if I hang a stocking up, some crazy guy in red will come and bring me presents?
It's strange that some people believe in him and some people don't. I wonder why...
Me? Well, I... think it'd be nice if it were true.
Huh? These stockings I hung? Well... I mean... who doesn't want a present?

Say, (Captain), it's snowing outside.
Snow is cold... But if this reality is only a temporary space...
Then this chill... And even your warmth... I suppose none of it is actually real.
Ha-ha! Oh, it's nothing. Are you free today? I'd love it if we could spend a little more time together!

What exactly are you supposed to do for the holidays? I think the original purpose is different from its purpose nowadays.
I wonder when it changed... Say, what do you think, (Captain)?
As long as you can enjoy spending time with friends, that's good enough for you, huh?
Ha-ha... Figured you'd say that! Well then, shall we go and help set up for all the fun planned for tonight? Heh-heh!

How did this custom of exchanging presents in the dead of winter come to be? What do you think, (Captain)?
Would you say it's a tradition from somewhere specific? Did someone intentionally spread it? Or is it something entirely different?
It's hard to guess what would make an appropriate present without knowing the holiday's origin.
Huh? You want to know if I'm having trouble deciding on a present?
Why is that your assumption? I mean, you're just...
Well... You're actually not far off the mark.
Um... (Captain), please put your head together with me if you would.

Randall

Ah, so you've heard as well, (Captain).
There's an old man with a huge red bag who gives out presents to children...
And it seems he flies using his fists. Like, he punches the ground and sends himself to the air with the repercussion.
That accursed old hack! I'm going to stay up all night to get him. Stay with me and help, (Captain).

(Captain), last year I stayed up all night, but that old hack in red didn't show up.
But for some reason there were presents laid next to both my bed and your bed...
What could this mean?
Sigh... This is baffling. If he knew just how strong we were, he would've never come.
Ah! He must've snuck in when we weren't looking! And that's why he laid the presents down!
I can't believe he was able to do that! Grr! How much longer will you taunt me, you old fart!
We can't back down, (Captain).
We've gotta try even harder this year to challenge old red!

Get a load of this, (Captain)!
Check out all this stuff the old guy in red left us!
Ooh, a greeting card! "I look forward to meeting you again next year," it says!
You know what that means, Captain? The old-timer'll finally be ready to duke it out with me!
Whoo! Can't wait till next year!

Hey (Captain)! Come check out this box! It was sitting by my pillow when I woke up.
And it's bursting with food! There's even a message. "Take care of yourself."
You get it, right, (Captain)! They're tellin' me to eat up and build some muscle!
Darn that old red dude... What's he doing, sending provisions into the enemy camp? Tryin' to say I'm weak, huh!
Just you wait... (Captain)! We're training! I'm gonna get ripped and blow that red dude outta the water!

Richard

Hah, I'm getting good vibes about tonight, (Captain). In fact it's making me itch for a gamble...
Yes sirree, I prefer a roll of the dice to eggnog and spice.
All right, (Captain), how's 'bout a wager?
Wanna see if the legendary man in red actually comes to town?
If you wake up tomorrow with a present next to you, then you win. And it's yours to keep obviously.
Heh heh, deal? Don't stay up too late tonight. You'll want to get a good night's rest.

Ahh, (Captain). Beautiful night, isn't it? My gambling heart aches like this every year.
But I won't do any of that tonight. Let's find a nice place and have a drink.
Hm? Am I trying to be a good little boy?
Hahaha! I don't need any presents from that gramps in red!
So what do you say? My treat! You'll have to settle for juice though.

Happy holidays, (Captain).
How about it, Captain? You up for a quick gamble to liven up this restless night?
We'll be betting our own time. The loser has to accompany the winner for the remainder of this festive day.
Huh? You were planning on hanging out with me anyway?
Guess I didn't have to bother with the roundabout invite after all.
Out with gamble night.
And in with candle night.

Check it out, (Captain). The holiday illuminations give the snow such a sparkly glow.
Seems like the perfect day to sit down at a swanky place for a grand feast.
I think I'm gonna bet this night on you...
Haha, okay! Let's get this show started...
Give me your hand, (Captain). I'm gonna show you a wonderful evening.
Heh, let's hope Lady Luck doesn't feel jealous when the day's over.

Rosamia

Everyone in town is really busy, so you know it must be time for the holidays.
A greeting card? You want me to make one because everyone else is? Hmm, should I make a collage?

A holiday party? I'm sorry, but I'm not fond of noisy gatherings.
I'll just bring some food and cake to my room and eat it alone.
N-no, you don't have to keep me company. Don't say such useless things.
Well, if you sit quietly, then I guess I don't mind...

And today marks the start of such festivities...
(Everyone's getting carried away in the foolishness of it all...)
I have many fond memories of holiday get-togethers with my family.
Hm? You suggest we all have cake together?
Well, if it's just eating cake, I'll oblige.
Thanks.

Ah yes... I've still yet to decide what to bring to the gift swap.
(Of course, I'm not sure I'm cut out for partying with everyone. Maybe I'll take a pass this time.)
Then again, I've already made this picture with the season's festivities in mind. I wonder if anyone would actually appreciate it.
Sigh... Never mind...
Choose: That sounds like a great present.
Does it?
Well, here. You sign it with your name, and then I'll feel better about giving it away. Good. Glad that's settled.

Rosine

Happy holidays, (Captain). I see you're busy preparing for the party.
Trying so hard to make sure the crew has a good time. You're such a dear!
Let me give you a hand. I love cooking!
I'll make a delicious feast for the whole crew to enjoy tonight!

Well, look at that. The whole ship is bustling.
Everyone has smiles on their faces—what a wonderful night.
Haha. Believe it or not, I've got more than a few cherished memories of this festive night.
Back when I lived with my husband, I would make a small feast.
Then we would stay up a little later than normal.
It was only the two of us back then, but we were happy together.
Yes, this festive night is just filled with memories.

Have you asked Santa Claus for what you want yet, (Captain)?
Tonight is all about the anticipation, heehee.
Me? Oh, I'm just an old biddy now. We don't get presents, y'know.
What's this? A cute little package for me, (Captain)?
Oh my stars! If this isn't a present, I don't know what is.
You've just made my night! My very own humdinger of a Santa!
I'm touched. I'll put it to good use. Thank you very much, my dashing princeGran is the Main Character/darling princessDjeeta is the Main Character.

(Captain), don't you think holiday trees are wonderful?
Each and every light is sparkling with the wishes of all sorts of people.
What about you? Do you have any wishes you want to make tonight?
I think... I'd ask for the good health of that person.
If that person under a faraway sky is spending their days in good health, then that's enough for me.
Well, truthfully I do get lonely sometimes, but...
With you by my side, I'm plenty happy as is.

Ryan

The holidays are the perfect time to spend with family.
Oh, Kunlun... I'm so sorry I can't be with you right now.
I can't imagine how lonely you must feel... Ah, aah, aaah!
(Captain)! Let's go back to my hometown! No, we have to go back! Please!

Hey, (Captain). Can you come shopping with me?
There's something I want to get for Kunlun.
Oh, and of course I'll get you something too.
It's kinda chilly outside, so dress warm!

(Captain), check out this tree.
I decorated this one myself, starting with chopping it down in the forest.
How do you like all the fluffy trinkets I decked it out with? Isn't it just lovely?
This is one of my better creations. As for this teddy bear modeled to look like you...
Wha? You thought it was a reindeer? No way—it's not that bad!

(Captain), what do you think of this teddy bear?
Oh, it's not for me. I thought it might make a nice holiday gift for Kunlun.
Ah, so I see you, too, find it hopelessly adorable. Good, I've decided.
Guess I'll pick one up for myself too.
Oopsie, don't mind me! All I said was happy holidays! Really!

Spinnah

It's snowing! These crystalized shapes really are beautiful.
(Captain), do you know why the snow forms such beautiful crystallizations?
Haha. You don't know?
They say that the snow spins in the clouds as it falls.
You already know what I'm trying to say, right?
That's right. Beauty is formed within the spin.
That is to say, this holiest of nights is when spins are most perfect. That is what the snow teaches us.

Tonight's a festive night, huh? I'm glad everyone's enjoying themselves. Even the streets are all gussied up.
But there's something missing. Any guesses as to what it is, (Captain)?
That's right. Snow.
Snow goes perfect with this season, don't you think? Doesn't look like any's gonna fall this year though.
Well, luckily for us, I have a solution: everyone's favorite, the spin blade.
By spinning this baby, I can send some wind up to the sky...
The wind will scatter the bag of paper snow I attached to the hull of the airship.
Hah! Check it out! The snow is starting to cover the streets!
Hehe. You've witnessed yet another joy that spin blades can bring into our lives.
Here, take one as a present!

Oh, (Captain). What are you doing up at this hour?
Some sound woke you up? Sorry about that.
I'm getting ready to head into town. I'll be placing spin blades by the windowsills of children's bedrooms.
It is my duty as messenger of spin blades to spread word of them on this holy night.
I can already picture the surprised looks of children all over as they open their windowsills in the morning.
Especially since the ones I'll be leaving them are forged from gold bricks.
Well, I'm off now!

Hey, (Captain). Shaping up to be a festive night, isn't it?
The spin blade's also here with a blessing for everyone out celebrating.
Huh? You don't know what I mean? Look up.
Spinnah points to the top of a great evergreen, where a spin blade glistens in place of a star.
Hah. Now you see. That, my friend, is a special spin blade.
I found a bunch of those Sunlight Stone things, just left to gather dust in the storeroom.
Felt like a waste, so I ground some up and dusted the spin blade with them.
What do you think? The stuff glitters like magic! Perfect tree topper, in my opinion.
I only hope I can spread spin blades throughout the skies, so everyone can bathe in that light...
And what better star for me to wish on than the one twinkling on that tree right there? Be real nice if you also wished for the same thing.

Stan

Happy holidays!
So, (Captain), have you decided what to ask Santa for?
Me? Well, I'd sure like to have a bit more courage, but...
I mean, there's no point if someone just gives you that kind of thing! So basically I haven't decided.
Hey, if it's okay with you, how about we spend the day thinking it over, (Captain)?

What's wrong, (Captain)? You seem deep in thought.
Oh, I know! You're wondering about what to ask Santa for!
Haha. Boy, do I know how you feel. I had a real headache last year over that.
But I've got none of those problems this year! Why, you ask? That's simple!
I just told him anything's good!

I've never met Santa Claus. Have you, (Captain)?
I was just wondering what kinda guy he is.
Every single year, he's out there giving gifts to kids all over the sky.
It must be a tough job all by himself, so I'd love to give him a hand.
Hehe, is that a great idea or what?

Hey, (Captain). You know... I'm thinking of being Santa Claus this year!
Wait a second. What do you mean I look more like a reindeer?
I'm not talking about dressing up here. I mean I want to give presents to all the kids in our crew.
But it's gonna be tough doing it by myself, so I was wondering if you could give me a hand.
Really? Thanks, (Captain)! Everyone's gonna be so happy!

Suframare

Happy holidays! Surprise! Look at what Santa brought you!
It's the guide I wrote: Basic Magic Even a Troll Could Understand!

Happy holidays, (Captain)! Did you ask Santa for anything?
I asked for my students to feel happy when I get them to open up their textbooks!
I want to show them that, as Vyrn has demonstrated, studying can help you overcome so many obstacles!
Well then, let's have dinner and then get on with the gift exchange!
Of course I have a gift for you too, (Captain)!

Happy holidays! My holiday present is...
A copy of my personal reference: From Sword to Staff!
Haha... Now you and Vyrn will never have to brave the winter cold without a good study guide!
What is it, (Captain)? You want me to give you a lesson using this book right here, right now?
I'd be glad to! Glad to see you so eager to learn all the time, (Captain)!
But that'll have to come after the holiday party! We should treat ourselves to a good time first!

All right, everyone! It's time for this special night's class to begin!
As all of you know, magic has a wide variety of use cases.
For example, fire magic is used as the source of fuel for gearcycles...
Of course my ice magic has equally useful applications!
I can create a machine that releases snow like this! It's beautiful, isn't it?
Hm? Did I use too much energy? Uh-oh... I did this in such a hurry that now I can't stop it...
Aaahhh!

Tanya

Today is a special day, do you think? It's a little hazy, but I have memories from when I was little of spending the holidays with my father.
The whole family got together.
(Captain), why don't you and I spend the day together? Suddenly, I feel a bit lonely...
You will? Really? Thank you.

(Captain), the truth is... when it comes to these kinds of festivals, I feel out of place.
I walk through the town and see all the happy people. But somehow... I feel like I'm left out.
But now... when I'm with you and the crew, I feel like I'm finally a part of the celebration.
Thank you. The time I've spent with you has truly warmed my heart, (Captain).

Looks like we're together again for the holidays this year...
The relaxing time I get to spend with friends is special to me... no matter the season.
The more I get used to this warmth I feel when I'm here with you... the harder it will be to go back to those nights I spent all alone.
Do you think... I could spend this time next year with you and the crew again?
Thank you...

There's always something about this time of year that gets me emotional... It's a strange feeling.
A calm feeling... A bright feeling.
I'm sure it's because I'm here with you and the rest of the crew, (Captain).
A stark contrast to my former life.
I love it here... but I'm scared—scared that I may find myself all alone again.
Hm? Yeah, you're right... You wouldn't abandon me or do anything like that.
Sorry for saying something weird suddenly... It's almost time for supper. Let's head over to the dining hall, (Captain).

Thelonim

Happy holidays!
Hey, hey, I heard something from Vyrn!
He says there's gonna be a big party with the whole crew, today! Is that true, Captain?
Oh my gosh, it is?
Heh heh, hooray! Oh, I can't wait for tonight!

(Captain)! (Captain)! Look! Look! I found something awesome!
It's Harvest's Judgment!
Haha. You jelly? I found them on the other island.
What? What do you mean they are the same as the other ones? No they're not! Look real hard!
These are all messed up. But these ones are super round and have four edges!
Hehehe... This must be the infamous Santa's special delivery.
Come on! Today is the day miracles happen.
I hope he leaves you something good too.
If he doesn't, don't get sad though, okay? 'Cause I'll give you some Harvest's Judgment!
Haha! Happy holidays! May this year be merry for you too, (Captain)!

Hey, (Captain)! You know what I want? A sled. You know, like the one that legend rides on the most holy of nights.
I mean, if I had a sled like that, I could save princesses from all over the skies in a heartbeat!
Hmm... But how would I even get one? I don't think I even have enough money to buy a regular sled.
Oh! Here's an idea—acorns! With Harvest's Judgment, maybe I can gather enough to trade for a sled myself!
Yeah! I'll gather all the acorns... Just watch! Actually, (Captain), could you lend me a hand?

(Captain), happy holidays!
Here you go... I made you a Harvest's Judgment wreath!
I don't have any money, so this was all I could make, but...
It's filled with all my wishes for your health and safety!
Hehe, I hope you like it!

Vanzza

Happy holidays.
Carolla and I used to bake holiday cookies this time of year...
I think I'll make a batch today! You're gonna have some, right?

This season is bittersweet for me.
Listen, (Captain), let me have a day off today.
I made cookies... for Carolla.
So I'm thinking of taking some to her... What's that? You want to come along? Heh...
I don't mind. Thank you, (Captain).

You want to bake a cake with me? I don't mind lending you a hand...
I see... It's a cake for Carolla. Thanks, (Captain). You really have a big heart.
And not just you... Everyone in our crew is too nice for their own good... You think I am too, eh?
Heh-heh! I dunno about that... I can get pretty stern when I'm baking a cake, you know!
How about we get started then? Let's whip up a shortcake with strawberries on top!

Truth is I'd never given Carolla a holiday gift...
I once asked if she wanted anything, but she always seemed more than content with my presence alone.
Acorazada would always tell me to give her something anyway...
I'd be all wishy-washy about it and end up doing nothing.
But after spending the holidays with you over so many years, I've come to realize how important gifts can be.
When she awakens, I plan on giving her a whole plethora of gifts to make up for every year I never got the chance to.
I hope you will help me pick out a few, (Captain).

Vermeil

Happy holidays.
What is it? What's with that look on your face? You're saying I look like I'm not having any fun?
I see. It might look that way, but my chest is pounding with excitement. I'm having a lot of fun. But I wonder...
If my tears fall like a blanket of snow, then would it look like I'm having fun?
Ehehehe, that was a joke. Yes, telling jokes makes everything more festive.

Damn... Don't look at me!
A festive day such as this is not suited for tears...
Your words have touched me oh so...
You have my apologies, but I must leave here at once.
From the bottom of my heart... you have my thanks.
Perhaps beyond the pure white snow and these never-ending tears, I might find spring.
Sigh... I have only one wish... That a flower from the world beyond be with you and your happiness.
I wish nothing but the best for you on this journey...
Happy holidays.

Happy holidays, (Captain).
These never-ending tears have caused me to give up celebrating the holy night. I am not fit for the occasion.
But there is something I am fit for.
The church...
There are songs that are sung there that move others to tears. This I have seen...
That my tears and I have a place where we belong fills me with a most mysterious feeling.
(Captain), would you like to join in listening to the songs? You may find tears your eyes as well.

(Captain), are you enjoying the holidays?
Why yes, I certainly am. Just a bit earlier, a few children called out to me. They saw my tears, you see, and may have fancied me lonely.
So they invited me to build a snowman.
With everyone's cooperation, we ended up making a grand one, even taller than me. There was quite a bit of excitement.
It was extremely cold out, and we were all shivering... But I felt warm, as if a light had taken up residence in my heart.
A smile truly is a wonderful thing, isn't it? (Captain), may your future be filled with smiles and with joy.

Viceroy

Happy holidays!
Huh? A present?
Of course I didn't go shopping!
Fine, you got me... Here's your gift. Go on and take it!
What? You don't know what it is?
Well, it's a block of iron! Pure iron, see! Pure iron!
Oh, boy... You can't even tell, can ya? I fired it super hot in my furnace, so it's completely purified.
It won't rust in water or corrode in acid.
Ah, just take it already! Happy holidays, and all that!

Hey, (Captain)! Happy holidays!
Heh-heh! I got you something good this year!
Here you go! Go on and open it!
Hey! It's not a lump of metal! It's an iron Santa statue!
Feel how heavy it is! And it's tough too!
Ha-ha-ha! I knew you'd get fired up over a gift of metal. Reminds me of the first gift I got from my master!

Hey there, (Captain)! Happy holidays, yeah?
Heh-heh! What kind of party are we having this year?
Nah! I'm looking forward to the spread no matter what it is!
Nope, nope... You go ahead and pick out whatever desserts and snacks you fancy.
The only thing I really want...
Oops! I better watch it. I'd be mortified if someone heard what I'm gonna say...
So... how about it? Do you think you could set aside a plate of cream puffs for me?
Heh-heh! I'm looking forward to it! Can't hardly wait!

Hey, (Captain)! Can I get a "happy holidays"?
You mean I just asked? Haha, so what!
Don't you worry; I haven't drunk a drop yet. The party's about to start picking up real soon though.
I gotta say, that moon sure is gorgeous tonight.
Wish I could make steel that shined like that and lasted just as long...
Buwahahaha! What am I saying...
Looks like I'm already intoxicated by the holiday spirit.

Vikala (Event)

It really is bustling today, isn't it, (Captain)?
This is my first time spending a holiday with friends, so I'm really looking forward to our party!
Hm? How did I celebrate before?
Hm... I think I just spent the night making the rat-ear headbands we sell at Utopia. I do those all by hand.
But while I was quietly working in my room, I'd listen to all the music and happy voices outside...
And I'd imagine how much fun they were having... And get jealous of all the merrymakers...
Whoa... Flashback city. Anyway, who cares what I was thinking about back then? It's in the past!
Let's get our shopping done and hurry back to the ship! Yep, that's what we should be doing, so chop-chop!

It's almost that time of year again... A special holy night for Yangtopia.
The feast is ready for the party... Cake and presents too. Just have to make sure I keep the good spirits up when it starts.
I've been looking forward to spending a fun time with (Captain).
Better get moving...
Ta-da! Happy holidays!
Come on, (Captain)! Hope you're ready to join me in Holytopia!
Tonight's party is going to blow you away!

Happy holidays! Welcome to the holy night special Eccentrical Parade!
Featuring the Grandcypher as today's stage!
Not my typical spot, but we'll definitely make it work! Let's get this show on the road!
Or... something like that. Wh-what do you think? Can I use the deck for a parade?
Ah... S-sorry, I don't mean to pressure you into it! Just forget I said anything...
Huh? You're fine with it?
Th-thank you so much... You're too kind, (Captain).
U-um... I'll do my best not to disappoint!
But maybe keep your expectations low...

(Someone please end meeee!)
(It's not like I planned to head home together with only (Captain) after the Eccentrical Parade finished...)
(Now we're surrounded by c-couples... I wonder if other people think we're a c-couple too?)
(I didn't ask for a holy night present like this...)
(Wait... I haven't said anything this whole time we've been walking... The captain must be super bored by now...)
(I have to strike up a conversation, but... what do I even say?)
(Probably something festive? But it's not like I know what people usually do for the holidays... I can barely handle a normal conversation besides...)
H-huh? You want to take the long way home? I-I don't mind, but...
You wanna see the town? O-oh! Yeah, that's a good idea since everything's all decorated...
(I'm happy to spend more time with (Captain), but... I still haven't figured out what to talk about! What do I doooo?)

Volenna

So this is the peace of the holiday season. Sara and I have never really had the chance to experience it before.
From those who survived the floods of Manawydan, she was chosen as Priestess of the Dunes, and I was chosen to protect her.
Though our bond is strong, we've never really had the type of relationship that would allow us to enjoy this season.
Come to think of it, that must have been hard for Sara and all the maidens that came before her.
Can we change that someday? Yes. I very much hope so.

I know I stored it here somewhere...
Oh hey, (Captain). What's up?
Oh, this? I was thinking of putting up the pinecone tree Sara made this year too.
Back when I was guard captain, our policy was to carry as few possessions as possible.
Interestingly enough, since I've joined your crew I've begun to keep more material things.
But that's not a bad thing, I think. At least, I'd like to think...
Whether it's belongings or memories, it's important to not throw away what's precious to us.

It seems that spices are a bit pricy this time of year. Everyone needs some, so there's a little shortage...
Well, we have everything we went shopping for. Let's return to the ship—there are people waiting for us in the kitchen.
That said, the town has really come alive on the eve of the holiday.
Everyone's singing the praises of the holiday... It's a symbol of peace.
No, maybe it would be better to call it a sort of everyday miracle...
...
I'm sorry... I've gotten a little emotional. Come on, let's hurry back. Sara and the others are waiting for us.

It's awfully chilly tonight. We might even see snow by dinnertime.
Don't just stand there getting all excited about the snow. Put on more clothes—you'll catch a cold.
If you get sick, you won't be able to enjoy the holy night dinner and presents this year.
What? What do you mean I'll take care of you if you get sick?
Fine. If that's how it's going to be... If you catch a cold, we'll have Katalina prepare our meals instead.
I'll bring the meals to your bedside and make you eat them, of course. After all, we have to make sure you're eating properly, right?
No? Then you'd better wear this scarf and get yourself warmed up.

Walder (Holiday)

Happy holidays!
Did you get any presents from Santa? I sure did!

The city sure is bustling with cheer this evening!
And the decorations everywhere look great!
I can't wait to show Jade one day... Oh! That's right!
Hey, (Captain). Wanna decorate my forest back home next year for the holidays?
The forest is pretty big! It'll be plenty of fun!

Hey, (Captain). Do you remember what I said last year?
I asked you to help me decorate my forest so that Jade could see a winter wonderland.
Well, things are kinda different now. I want to ask you guys again, but not until we can get Jade on the decoration team.
That'd be awesome. With Vyrn and Lyria and Jade working together... Yeah, it'd be the greatest winter celebration of all time.
Ho, ho, ho! Can't wait for fun times ahead!

(Captain), perfect timing! Would you mind helping out?
I want to give some holiday presents to the kids in the crew... But I noticed a little problem.
To do things the traditional way, you need to climb down a chimney and sneak the gifts into stockings.
But this ship doesn't have a chimney... That's why I've decided to add on a chimney to everyone's quarters! You can help me lay the bricks.
Hm? That would push the ship over the weight limit? And it's weird to sneak into people's rooms in the first place?
Waaaugh! That makes sense when you put it like that. So how should I hand over the presents?

Will

Happy holidays!
Today is a very special day. Who are you planning on spending it with?
Naturally, I'll be spending it with the monsters. We're going to celebrate together.
Say, why don't you join us? You can bring Vyrn along with you. We'll have a splendid evening.

May tonight be a blessed night of miracles. A time of happiness for all the skies.
Hm? Oh, it's you. What's wrong? You look surprised.
I am a holy man, after all. On special days like today, I pray... for the peace and happiness of monsters.
Huh? Am I going to pray for people too? Do I have to? That sounds like such a pain...

Oh, oh my... This is quite the spectacle.
Oh, hello. Did you need me for something? Oh, you're having a party to celebrate the holidays?
Never mind that; look at this! There are monsters huddled together sleeping down there. I think they're hibernating!
Ah, what noble creatures! Wish I could snuggle up with them.
Sounds like a good idea, right?

And... lift. Oof. Oh, hi there, (Captain). What am I carrying?
Presents of course. I'm going to give these to the monsters.
I made a cake too, but I'm not feeling confident that they'll like it. Probably should've just stuck to fresh meat...
Say, can you help a fellow out, (Captain)? With what, you ask?
Hehehe... That's for you to find out.

Yodarha

People keep mistakin' me fer this Santa Claus guy! A-hyuk-hyuk-hyuk!
They keep callin' me a fake Santa and chasin' me all around town!

Happy holidays!
If it's for you guys, I wouldn't mind holding a kitchen knife again.
That surprises you? Fishing isn't my only skill, you know. I spent so much time cooking in the mountains that I could cook blindfolded!

Oho! Are we all getting together for a holiday bash?
Hm, and that's where we'll do our gift exchange? That can only mean...
Bingo! Raw fish just won't do!
Oh, hakuna your tatas! I'll fry 'em so good you'll forget they were ever raw! A-hyuk-hyuk-hyuk!

(Captain), where do you keep the dye and varnish?
I wanted to whittle up some fishing lures as gifts for the other folks in the crew.
You take a pocket knife to shape the wood down into a shape that'll float, and then...
Hm, are you really that interested in lure-making? I should've known you'd be curious!
Once you can do your thing with a pocket knife, you'll be that much better as a swordfighter.
A-hyuk-hyuk! I found another thing I can teach you—I guess this holiday's turned out to be a good one.

Young Cat (Event)

(Young Cat): ...
(Young Cat) gazes at the roast chicken (Captain) is carrying as if sizing up his prey.

  • Choose: Seasoned chicken isn't good for cats!
    So saying, (Captain) sets a piece of unseasoned, boiled fowl in front of the hungry feline.
    (Young Cat): Myaaa...
    (Young Cat) gives the offering a cautious sniff, then chomps down on it and carries it away.
  • Choose: This piece here is just for you.
    (Young Cat): Mrrrow?
    (Young Cat) tilts his head quizzically, regarding this poultry offering.
    With a wistful glance at the roast chicken (Captain) still holds, he chomps down on the boiled piece and trots away with it.

(Young Cat): Meow!
(Young Cat) plays with a ball of yarn under the holiday tree.
(Young Cat): Mrowrow...
It isn't long before (Young Cat)'s body gets tangled up in all the yarn.
(Young Cat): Mew, mew!
Starting from (Young Cat)'s legs, (Captain) undoes the knots that has him in a bind.

(Young Cat): Meow, meow...
Inside (Captain)'s dresser, (Young Cat) rummages around.
(Young Cat): Meow!
Finding what he is looking for, the determined feline drags the object back to his bed and hides it.
Late into the night, (Captain) peers into (Young Cat)'s bed.
(Young Cat): ...
By his side is one of (Captain)'s socks.
A look inside reveals that the sock is packed full of cat treats.

(Young Cat): Meooow.
(Young Cat) is energetically sharpening his claws on the holiday tree.
(Young Cat): Meow.
Once he's satisfied, he steps back and emits a small sound of approval.

  • Choose: Let's get decorating.
    (Young Cat): Meow!
    (Young Cat)'s eyes sparkle as he stares at the decorations in (Captain)'s hands.
  • Choose: Claws nice and sharp?
    (Young Cat): Meooow.
    (Young Cat) responds by showing off his now pristine claws to (Captain).

And as the captain sets to work hanging ornaments on the tree, (Young Cat) helps by playfully batting at a strand of tinsel.

Zehek

Happy holidays. I tend to fall ill a lot during this season.
You know those people who get sick on important days? That's me.
But Santa comes to see me anyway...

What a beautiful night it is, (Captain). Thankfully, I'm not feeling so bad today.
In fact I'm feeling really good for once. The magic within my body is rarely this calm.
I guess miracles really do happen. I couldn't have asked for a better gift.
I rarely get the chance to move freely, so let me take this opportunity to do something for you.
Tell me what I can do for you, (Captain). I want you to feel the miracle too.

The holidays are here, (Captain).
I know I've fallen sick and caused you trouble numerous times, but I'm feeling exceptionally well today.
Call it a holiday miracle. How nice it'd be if the miracle would persist long term.
I prefer to be of aid to others when I'm feeling up to it—especially for special occasions like this.
That's why I went ahead and decorated this tree. What do you think?
Too many accessories, huh? I guess trying too hard can have the opposite effect.
I'm never good with these things, (Captain). Can you offer me some advice?
I see... Thank you. I'm so glad to be able to just blend in together with everyone.

H... H-happy holidays, (Captain)...
Heh... Ahaha... Sorry, I'm a little more under the weather than usual, actually...
I stayed up all night hoping to catch a glimpse of Santa... So I've been wandering around all morning in a stupor.
Ah, this has nothing to do with my magical blight. Sorry... I didn't mean to worry you like that.
Did I meet Santa? Well about that, actually...
I must have dozed off at some point, because when I came to, a present was waiting right before my eyes.
Ngh... I was so close to seeing him for myself, too!
Next year I'll definitely stay awake and thank him properly! Say, (Captain)... Will you be there to make sure I don't fall asleep?
