Abby (Promo)

Abby: It's everyone's favorite day of the year again! And the tree's decorated nice and pretty, right?
Bobo: Bobo! (That's right. Let's party!)
Abby: Back when I lived in the woods, people used to ask me to chop down fir trees all the time, so I split 'em right in two!
Bobo: Bobo... Bobo... (If I remember right, there was hardly anything left of the forest after you were done.)
Abby: Anyway... I was always super busy at this time of year! And I couldn't have done it without you, Bobo!
Bobo: Bobo! (Maybe... but working under you was a nightmare!)
Abby: If you do your job right this year, I'll reward you with some of your favorite bugs! You'd like that, wouldn't you?
Bobo: Bobo... Bobo... (How many times do I have to tell you I hate bugs!)

Abby: Hmm, I heard we're eating turkey for the holiday dinner.
Bobo: Bobo! (Finally! Some real food!)
Abby: Oh, but I guess you can't eat it 'cause you're vegetarian. (Captain), you can eat his slice for him!
Bobo: Bobo! (I can make an exception!)
Abby: Don't worry, I'll get you lots and lots of medicine herbs instead! I hear they're good for you!
Bobo: Bobo! (It's better than bugs, but at least give me something that has more taste!)

Abby: (Captain)! Will Santa really give me a present tonight?
Bobo: Bobo. (I hear kids get nice things as a reward for being good.)
Abby: Okay! Then I want a grindstone to sharpen my axe!
And, and! I want to split all kinds of things in two!
Hehe! I'm so excited for Santa! I just can't wait!
Hey! What if I split the sun in two? Would it become night?
Bobo: Bobo... Bo... (The stuff this girl says gets more absurd each year...)

Abby: The holy night's upon us again! That shiny grindstone I got last year to polish my axe made me super happy!
Bobo: Bobo! (Well, you weren't exactly a naughty girl last year!)
Abby: I wonder if I'll get something this year too...
Bobo: Bo... Bobo? (I'd say yes... Though I wonder what's on your wish list this time.)
Abby: What's that, (Captain)? You want to know what sort of present I'd like? Great question!
I want an axe so gigantic that it can split the sun in two!
If it's perpetually nighttime, Santa's job becomes that much easier, and I get my present! It'd be like killing two birds with one stone!
Besides, I'm sure the sun would return to normal once the holy night's over! Whew, how much fun it'd be!
Bobo: Bo... Bobo... (Your ambitions grow grander every year, but can Santa keep up?)
Bobo? (And how do you plan on getting the sun back to normal afterward anyway?)

Albert (Event)

Tonight's a special night, isn't it? Who will you celebrate it with?
If it's not too much to ask, do you mind if I join you?

Holiday party tonight? Well, guess I should lend a hand. Do you want me to carry this?
I know that feeling of putting yourself on the line for your friends. Danger is an occupational hazard for us skyfarers.
But in the face of those dangers, we can still laugh, even if for the briefest of moments. I wonder if we have you to thank for that, (Captain).
I'm a little jealous of your capabilities and compassion, you know...
Heh. No, I'm just mumbling to myself. Come on, let's get excited for tonight.

It's a blessing to be able to celebrate this holiday night without incident.
Heh. But something's missing.
Take a good look at the tree, (Captain).
Haah!
What do you think of the lights? We all did our best to hide this from you.
My electricity provides power and changes their colors.
It turned out pretty well considering how anyone could decorate the tree any way they wanted.
The holiday's just getting started. Let's enjoy ourselves at the banquet.

Brr... It's chilly outside. Are you okay with the cold, (Captain)?
Though I sure wasn't expecting to have to go shopping for ingredients during the middle of a party...
But maybe I should just be glad for the chance to tour the town with you.
The people walking these streets, our fellow crew members back at the party, and you...
Everyone's so jolly. What a wonderful night it makes for.
We'll be back to our usual busy routine tomorrow, so we should make the most of days off like this.
All right, let's pick up some fruit and cake along with the ingredients we were asked to bring back!

Alec

To be honest, all of my memories of this season involve being cold and lonely.
I don't know how to handle being so warm and welcome like this.
Thank you, Captain. Happy holidays.

You've got presents for me, don't ya? Hand 'em over!
What do I want?
Huh? Hmm... Now that you mention it, what do I want?
Ah, well...
I guess I already have everything I want.
Heh heh heh... If I bug you about it any more, you might hit me on the head or something.
But that's not fair! You're supposed to give me a present today!
If you got mad at me for askin', then I'd... I'd... Shut up! I'm not gonna cry!

(Captain), you'd better have a present for me this year too!
Just kidding! I've pretty much outgrown presents!
I'm not a kid anymore, you know?
I'd be the laughing stock of the crew if I didn't stop pestering you for presents.
Hm? You thought the same? Hey, what's that supposed to mean?
What! You didn't prepare anything for today?
Aw, c'mon now... I mean, it's not like I was expecting anything, but would it have hurt to have something on hand?
Aha, you do have a present! Grr, sure had me fooled, (Captain)!
Rgh... I guess the joke's on me this year too!

Yay! Happy holidays!
Hey, hey, (Captain)! Gimme presents!
Huh? You're just giving them to me this time? No strings?
Haha! Whad'ya get me! What will this year bring...
What the! Something came flying out!
Why'd you scare me! It ain't Halloween you know!
Sigh... What kinda crap is this... I shouldn't have got my hopes up...
Huh? There's something else in the box?
Oh! This is the real present!
Dang it! You always get me real good!

Aliza (Event)

Happy holidays!
I always spend today with my Mama and Papa.
All day long, I get to enjoy my family's cooking!
I'm sure they'd both appreciate it if you came along, (Captain). Let's go!

Mama and Papa are asking for you to come over, (Captain).
Seems they really enjoyed your company last year!
Mama's made all your favorites! C'mon and get ready, she's waiting for you!
Papa told me to invite all the crew members along this time! Let's go let them know!
I have a feeling this year's holiday party is going to be a blast! Don't you?

Happy holidays!
My grandpa's coming by my house for a visit today! It's been so long!
We'll get to duke it out like the old days! I can't wait to show him how much stronger I've gotten!
We'll follow up the training session with a holiday party!
You and everyone else should drop by, (Captain)! I'd love to introduce you to Gramps!
Teehehe, it's gonna be so much fun tonight... I'm already stoked just thinking about it!
Well, I'd better get shopping in preparation. Any chance you can give me a hand with that, (Captain)?
I'll treat you to an extra helping of everything as thanks!
Let's make this the bestest party ever, (Captain)!

This year, I followed Mama's instructions and tried making a special dinner to celebrate the holy night!
I've always helped out and stuff, but this was my first time making it from scratch by myself.
It's harder than it looks, you know! There's a lot of secret ingredients involved and tricks to adjusting the heat and flavor in Mama's cooking.
I'm impressed that she's always put so much effort into preparing for the party every year!
Anyway, I think it turned out pretty well, so I hope you'll have some too. Are you free tonight, (Captain)?
Great! Okay, then I'll go and get things ready! Look forward to it!

Aliza (Water)

Almeida (Summer)

Ahh, this takes me back! I remember leaving stockings on the bed and begging my father for red shoes befitting a princess.
Can you believe he bought me a shovel instead? Gosh, I must have cried that whole morning away!
But I came to love the shovel so much I would celebrate the holidays each year digging away in the coal mines. Proof that I'm a Valtz girl, born and raised!

Ooh! Look at all that snow! Never knew there was so much! I'd heard a lot about it, but seeing it is something else!
I'm gonna try to touch it...
Eep! Ahaha!
Man, that's cold! Startled me for a second there! It's gonna be a white holiday this year!
Say, (Captain)! Do you know how to make a snowman? C'mon! Show me how!

Happy holidays!
Way back when, I pretty much always worked in the mines on the holiest night of them all.
I didn't ever think that I would be here on the Grandcypher and not working.
But you know I do feel a little uneasy not doing anything physical.
Hm... I know! Let me help with the tree!
I'll put the shiniest ore from the mines all over it!

Happy holidays!
Sigh... Yelling out loud helps me forget the cold. Too bad it doesn't last long.
Speaking of cold, Santa Claus flies through the freezing skies in his sleigh to deliver presents, right?
How does his sleigh resist the cold? No, wait. It's gotta be his clothes... I wonder what they're made of?
Oh hey, that gives me an idea! I could probably put his secret to good use in forging the perfect weapon.
All righty. I'll ask Santa himself, and you're going to help me do it, (Captain)!
So let's get to it! Hm... Um, how am I supposed to contact him though...

Amira (Promo)

Santa Claus? What's that?
Do you think he knows a shortcut to Helheim?
I know! Let's catch him! He can get us into Helheim and I can meet my mother!

I couldn't find him this year either... You know, the old man who grants wishes.
So I asked the woman at the chapel to give him a message for me. She promised me she'd tell him.
And would you believe it, I got his reply today! He said that if I was a good little girl, I'll meet Mother again for sure!
So that's just what I'm going to be! Hehe!

(Captain). Have you met the grandpa? The wish granting one.
I heard that he grants good little boys and girls their wishes.
Rackam said if I wanted to become a good little girl, I should follow your example.
So I'm gonna watch you real close and do what you do. Stay close to me until I become a good little girl, okay?

Does the gift-grandpa really fly around the world in a sleigh?
If he does, and I catch him, I'll get the sleigh too.
I bet he knows a shortcut to Helheim...
And his sleigh can go around the world in one night...
With both him and the sleigh, I can go to where Mother is!
So help me capture the gift-grandpa, (Captain)!

Andira (Event)

Happy holidays.
Today we're having a party for everyone, aren't we?
Let me and my cloud take care of the high decorations!
Hmm? What is it, cloud? What are you doing? Haha! That tickles!
Ehehe. My cloud sure is ready for fun today!

Tonight is a special night, isn't it? So are you going out tonight?
Hmm? You want to know why I'm asking? I guess it's because I'm not really doing anything right now...
I was wondering if maybe you wanted to spend some time with me tonight.
What? You do?
Yay, yay! So is this a date, then? Yay, a date, a date!
A date with (Captain)! Hehehe. I better go pick out something to wear!

Zzz... Mmm...
Thank you... presents... Santa... beard... so fluffy...
Hmm? Oh, it's you.
Present? It's already here... What are you going on about? See? Right over there—
I-it's gone! How? I know Santa gave me a present for sure!
Wait, you were just hiding it behind you? Sheesh... don't scare me like that.
Hee hee, a present... I wonder what it could be?
Don't you wanna know too, (Captain)? Let's open it together!

Hey, do you think Santa will come again this year too?
I want to see him and say thanks.
If he's coming, then all I have to do is stay up to meet him, right?
Yawn... Um... The Sandman's effects are...
Zzz... Zzz... Hehe... Thank you...
Hm? Oh hey, (Captain). Did Santa leave already?
I see... Well at least I got to say thanks... I'm going back to bed. Good night.

Ange (Halloween)

Happy holidays!
I think you and I were destined to spend this season together.
Why, just look up at the sky. The stars are shining brightly for us. They want us to be happy!
You have no idea what I'm talking about? I'm just practicing for when I meet my princess!

Happy holidays.
Hark, can you hear those sacred melodies? It's as if we're being blessed!
Take my hand and dance with me, Princess!
How was that?
Do you think I've become more beguiling and romantic in my princely capacity compared to last year?
But still my fair princess has yet to appear... Sigh...

Isn't this a splendid party? Witness how the flickering candle flames are akin to twinkling stars in the evening sky.
Amongst the radiance of these celestial bodies, would it be rude of me to abscond with one? Just one.
The celestial that is you.
...
How was that, (Captain)? This year I've got my lines down pat!
Then me and my darling will sneak away from the party.
The fated winter night has come!
I'll surely meet the princess of my dreams tonight!
Hm? What are we going to do after we leave the party?
Um... Actually I haven't thought that far ahead yet.

Why, you're quite the sinful captain, aren't you? First you steal my heart, and now you're already making the next move.
But it's fine. Because my heart...
And every other part of me is all yours for the taking!
(Epic delivery.)
How 'bout that, (Captain)? I think I'm getting better at this.
Huh? There's a party with the crew coming up?
Hm, as much as I enjoy being an escort on this special night...
A prince must prioritize his bonds with his fellow crew members.
I've made up my mind. Let us attend the party, (Captain)! Fun times do not wait for anyone!

Anila (Event)

Season's greetings! Everyone in town gets so excited around the holidays!
Before I was called to duty, every year I would spend the holidays with my family.
I remember the holiday cookies were to die for...
Hm? No, I didn't mean that you should go and make some for me or anything! Honest!

This is our second holiday season together!
So let's get dressed up and go out into town!
Heheh... When you and I stand together like this, we almost look like...
Wait! Never mind!
Hm? What's that you say? You got a table reservation at that pastry place?
That's incredible! Don't tell me... You remembered what I told you last year, didn't you?
Aw! You had me fooled acting all nonchalant!
Heheh! You're a doll! Now let me pinch those cheeks! Pinch pinch pinch!

So this place is your favorite this time of year, right, (Captain)?
It's quite nice! Sitting here on this hill and looking down at the lights in the town below...
With the blanket of snow all around, it looks completely surreal! I'm quite enjoying it here.
Hm? You have one more place you want to go after this? A store that sells strawberry pastries, huh?
You don't really think that buying me some strawberry snacks will get you on my good side, do you?
As if! Heh-heh-heh!
But I'm very pleased! Now let me smush your cute little cheeks!
Smush! Smush! Smush!

La-lalaa. There we are. Decorations are all set.
It's a pity that there's a snowstorm out today, but sometimes it's nice to spend a cozy night indoors.
Hm? What's that box you have there?
S-strawberry cake! My favorite!
How did you know? Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Ahem. Actually, I too have a present for you.
Ta-daa! A hand-knitted wool cap! It even has a fluffy little ball on top! Isn't it cute?
Mhm! Suits you well! As expected!
It's made from the best, warmest wool one can find. Do you like it?

Anna (SR)

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.

Arthur (Event)

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
I don't believe in Santa Claus anymore of course, but there's something about the spirit of the season that gets me so excited!
I bet all the little ones back at the orphanage are going all out with decorations this year...
I'm not so great myself, but when it comes to arts and crafts, Mordred's a prodigy!
Oh, here's an idea! Let's decorate the Grandcypher together!
Stay right here; I'll go get Mordred!

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
This year Mordred and I picked out presents to send to the little ones at the orphanage.
I wonder if they've arrived yet. I'm all nervous about whether the kids'll like their gifts.
I still get excited about holiday stuff like parties and receiving presents myself...
But I guess I'm old enough to feel a little self-conscious about that.
Mordred, on the other hand, seems cool as a cucumber. Like he's not sweating it at all.
But I'm sure deep down, the kids' reactions are on his mind!

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
Um, when I woke up this morning, there was a present by my bed. Did you put it there?
No? Then maybe it was Mordred... Nah, he'd never do that.
Hm... I also found a strand of white hair caught in the ribbon—ah! Could it have been Santa?
Whoa! I can't believe Santa himself came to my room! That's so awesome!
Hehe. It's because I was even nicer this year than I was last year!
I'm gonna go show off my present to Mordred! I'll show you what I got later, (Captain)!

...
Oh, (Captain)! Happy holidays...
Huh? Oh, er... Yeah, I'm doing all right! Ahaha...
Sigh... Guess I can't hide anything from you, huh? The thing is, this present here...
It came this year too. Everyone's laughing about it and joking about how it's Santa again...
But... I saw!
Last night, Vice-Captain Vane had a white beard on his face and was carrying this huge bag...
I'm happy about it, of course! I'm happy, but... I just feel like it's not something I should've seen...
Plus I can't tell Mordred about this...
Aaargh!
I never wake up in the middle of the night... Why'd I have to choose last night to go to the bathroom?

Arthur and Mordred

Arthur: Oh, (Captain)!
Mordred: Happy holidays!
Hm? This package?
Arthur: Hehe. It just arrived this morning. Presents from the sister at the orphanage!
Mordred: Geez... I told her we're not kids anymore. We don't need presents!
Arthur: I don't want to put her to any trouble either, but...
It does make me happy.
Mordred: ...
I didn't say I was unhappy about it.

Arthur: Happy holidays, (Captain)!
I hope you like these ornaments we made for you!
Mordred: We kinda went overboard when we were making ornaments for the little ones of the orphanage.
You might not like how kiddie they look, so you don't have to keep them or anything...
Arthur: Wait, you want to know how we made these? Ah! I bet you're gonna decorate the whole ship with them!
Woo-hoo! Did you hear that, Mordred? (Captain) approves!
Mordred: Uh... That doesn't mean anything if our swordsmanship isn't up to par.
Arthur: Yeah, you say that, but you're actually really happy on the inside! You can tell by looking at his ears—
Mordred: Okay, okay! I admit it! I'm real happy (Captain) complimented our ornaments!
So... If you'll come with me, I'll teach you how to make them.

Mordred: Come on, I was just worried about you. You sure you're okay?
Arthur: Why don't you worry about yourself? You don't even know if you picked the right thing!
Mordred: Wha! I told you I...
Arthur: Oh, (Captain)!
Mordred: Happy holidays.
Oh, it's nothing! We're not fighting or anything. We were just getting ready for tonight's party...
We're supposed to be exchanging presents with Cruz, Tornelio, and the others at the party.
So we each prepared a gift by ourselves...
Arthur: But Mordred keeps asking what I decided to get for my present.
Mordred: I told you, I was just worried whether you were doing okay!
We always do this kinda thing together, right? So I wasn't sure if you were okay getting it ready by yourself...
Arthur: I'm fine! I'm totally fine by myself! I don't know about you though!
Mordred: What? Of course I'm fine!
Okay. If that's how it's gonna be, then let's make it a competition. You and me.
Arthur: I'm in! Whoever picked the better present wins!
Arthur & Mordred: And that's gonna be me!

Arthur: Oh, (Captain)! Did you come to check on us in the kitchen?
Mordred: Don't worry, everything's going fine. I did some cooking once in a while back at the orphanage to help out the sister.
That said, my skills don't have anything on Vice-Captain Vane's.
Arthur: The vice-captain is seriously amazing! That food he whipped up at the encampment the other day was crazy tasty!
Mordred: Word has it he trusts his sixth sense when it comes to seasoning. He really is in a league of his own.
Arthur: Hey! Think I could season like that if I just followed my gut too?
Mordred: Whoa, don't you dare. Cooking is like training—unless you have the basics down, it's not going to turn out well.
Arthur: Huh... Guess the basics are pretty important. In that case, I'm gonna use today to follow the recipe and gain some experience!
Mordred: Except you're already trying to add sugar to the soup! You've got to read the labels!
Arthur: Whoops! My bad!

Arulumaya (Yukata)

Happy holidays, (Captain). Any plans for the night?
Would you mind if I spent the night by your side?
On a silent and holy night like this, there's nothing better than spending it with a good friend and good conversation.

Tonight we celebrate the holiday season with all our precious friends on the ship.
You may have a frigid, wintry fate ahead of you, but we'll overcome it with camaraderie.
Put another way... people can't do much on their own.
I can see the future, and you have a steady, unyielding resolve. But alone... we're nothing.
Heheh... I can tell you want a little more elaboration.
Let me put it this way. There's no better way to spend days like this than with those precious to you.
Heheh... I thought I would be included in that category for you, but perhaps I was mistaken?
Having memories of these quiet times with you is all I need to overcome any challenge the future poses.

Happy holidays, (Captain)! No matter how old I get, the holiday season always makes me giddy with excitement.
The best chefs in our crew have crowded into the kitchen to show off their skills. I just got back from helping out a bit.
And since holiday feasts differ on each island, we'll be sure to see a smorgasbord of dishes and desserts at the party.
A table full of good eats with everyone chatting happily... Heh-heh! I can't wait for tonight!
But I'm afraid I'll have trouble getting a seat right next to you. I have to admit that's a little disappointing...

Cinnamon, cloves, cardamom... I'll need some ginger, too...
Hmm? Oh, (Captain). I was just thinking about making some mulled wine. It's a spiced wine that's served warm.
The warmth from the heat and spices spreads through your body when drinking it—just perfect for winter, don't you think?
With everyone so busy for the holidays, I thought I'd make some. After all, you wouldn't want to catch a cold during this time of year.
Oh, that's right—you can't have any yet, (Captain). It may sound good, but you'll have to wait until you're an adult.
Hehe, don't look so glum.
See, I'll make some chai for you using the same spices.
Sharing a warm drink with your friends for a joyous night and occasion—what could be better?

Arusha

This is the longest night of the winter season, but it varies by island.
And to make things even more interesting, the traditions people celebrate varies by island too!
Some islands celebrate with festive pastries...
While others prepare massive cakes many days in advance. The food sure varies, that's for sure.
Oh my gosh! Was that the sound of your stomach rumbling, (Captain)?
Hee hee! I'm getting a little hungry myself! I can't wait for the holiday feast tonight!
It sounds like the best cooks in the crew are going to be putting their skills to the test... and we get to enjoy the results!

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
We'll be exchanging gifts at the party today, right?
Hehehe... I'm thinking about giving you one of my favorite books.
Oh? I wasn't supposed to tell you that?
That's right, isn't it... I just got caught up in my excitement.
I suppose I might as well give it to you now, then!
My mother often read me this picture book when I was young.
The cats in town roam the streets on a winter's night... Oh! Sorry, you should read the rest for yourself.
Don't worry about the party either... I have another present ready for you.
Hehe... Just wait and see.

Wow! This tree is so pretty! Look at all the decorations!
There's a lot of meaning behind the decorations, you know!
For example, it's said that candles were first used to brighten up long winter nights.
And these sparkling baubles were crafted to resemble apples.
The ornament you place on top isn't just limited to stars either—it changes depending on the culture!
Oh, wouldn't it be adorable to put a little stuffed kitty up there?
Sorry! That's not a custom from an island or anything...
But cats are known for their climbing skills, so I think it would look natural!

The crew is full of people from all over, and tonight's menu truly reflects that! What a lively party!
It's common to gather with family or close friends on this day... Or at least that's a custom observed on many islands.
Everyone comes together and shares a warm meal to help each other overcome the cold winter!
Depending on the island, there are even islands with a custom of soaking in citrus-infused hot springs.
We know from research that the citrus bath has many beneficial effects, like repelling insects.
The peoples of the past realized this too, and that's why they developed this particular bathing custom!
Each custom and tradition is born from logic or purpose.
We mustn't ignore the ways of the past just because they're old. Finding the truth can be quite enjoyable. Oh, I really sound like a librarian right now, don't I?

Aster (Event)

Happy holidays, (Captain)! Did you find any presents under the tree?

Sigh...
Oh! Hi, (Captain).
Umm... I was wondering if I've been good this year...
I'm always bugging you to take me on missions and doing other selfish things.
I'm sure I've caused trouble for Sutera too...
Hm? You think I've been good?
Ehehe. Thank you, (Captain)!
Even if I don't get any presents, I'll still be happy!

I helped with the holiday party preparations too, (Captain).
I think the best parties are the ones where you work really hard to make sure everything goes as planned!
I'm a good girl?
Mm... I don't really think so.
I'm actually a little worried about how I've behaved this year.
So I thought I should at least make myself especially useful for today.
But I'm sure Santa Claus can tell when kids are just trying to get on his nice list...
Huh? You don't think so?
Hehe. I feel so much better hearing that from you, (Captain)!
Um, well, maybe this is kind of a weird thing to say, but...
I think you've been really, really good this year too, (Captain)!
Santa will definitely pay us a visit!
Teehee.

(Captain), if you're not busy, do you wanna help me decorate the tree?
Hehehe... If we do a good job, then I'm sure everyone will enjoy looking at it!
Look, I've got ribbon and bells and white string—oh, and these sparkly balls!
But I can't reach the top to put the star on...
Climb on your back? That might work...
But what if I hurt you! This sounds risky, but here goes...
Wh-whoa!
I was right! Hurry and put me down, (Captain), before your back starts to hurt!
Are you okay? Oh, you're used to picking up heavier stuff when you train...
Whew... Well thank goodness! Hehe...
Anyway, thank you very much! Thanks to you, the star is in its rightful place on top of the tree!

Augusta

Happy holidays!
Teehee! (Captain), (Captain)! Look at this giant chicken I fried up!
My parents sent it. Fried chicken for the crew, their letter said.
The party tonight is gonna be a blast!

Okay, kids! Put those ribbons up on the wall please! Phew, preparations are going swell!
(Captain), thanks for calling me out to your party. I'm having so much fun just setting up everything with the kids on the crew.
The little munchkins fall into line real easily this time of the year. As soon as I tell them Santa gives presents to little helpers, they're all so quick to help.
If you want in on the presents, (Captain), we could use another hand in the kitchen or with decorations.

Perfect timing, (Captain)! Would you take a look here?
Ta-da! I made a snowman that looks like you, (Captain)! And one like Vyrn too!
We've got a white winter, so we've got to make the most of it!
Huh? Is the nose a bit out of place? The real one's like this... Lemme take a bit off here...
Wait, wait! I'm almost done! Stay with me for a little longer!
Please, just a bit!

What's wrong, (Captain)? You look like you could use some help.
Hm? The children in the crew won't go to bed because they're waiting for Santa?
Haha, what an adorable thing to say! Reminds me of when I was a kid!
Why don't you leave the situation to me? I've got a few bedtime stories up my sleeve that should put them to rest fast!
Though considering how energetic the children are here, I'd have a much easier time if you could come with me.

Ayer (Summer)

Gah... Everyone's making a racket. Something tells me I'm not getting any sleep tonight.
Interested in tagging along, Captain?
You're one for bright, festive places, and I should be able to get some training done too.
Who're you calling lonely? You're asking for some serious season's beatings...

Ugh... You're back? You came to see me during the holidays last year too.
I don't get you sometimes, but as long as you don't mess up my training schedule, you can do whatever you want.
Huh? What do you mean by you're gonna let me stay?
You're not a baby; you don't need my permission. Besides, you wouldn't leave even if I told you to.
Sigh... Damn it...

What are you doing here? You should be off to the holiday party. Some others came by looking for you.
What? You gonna stick around here for a bit, huh?
Humph. Why not join me for a bit of training then? If I win, you leave for the party.
If you win, then... I'll buy you whatever you want in town—
Wha? You'll make me go to the party too?
Kn-knock it off! Who'd wanna go to that crappy thing... Like hell am I gonna lose!

Here you are. Again. Why don't you just give up?
It's the holiday season. I mean, I couldn't care less, but isn't it important to you? Don't waste it on me.
Hm? Today is important, and that's why you're set on spending it with me?
Wha—what do you think you're saying!
The madness of the season must've gotten to you. That's the only reason you'd screw with me like this.
Will I forgive you if you were being serious? That's not what I—
Argh! Whatever! Say what you want!

Baotorda

Happy holidays.
I heard Santa Claus pays a visit to good children.
He knows that adhering to virtue, integrity, and honor is truly the most important thing of all.

There will be throngs of people making merry tonight, opening their hearts which would normally be reserved.
But putting that aside, when I see the twinkling eyes of the boys and girls who have been eagerly awaiting this day...
It warms my heart, and I can't help but smile.

So the merriest day of the year has come. I'm delighted to have the opportunity to spend such a wonderful night with you.
The Lumiel Order of Holy Knights has made it a tradition to decorate a tree today too.
And we generally have the captain of our order place the star on top of the tree.
Naturally Captain Charlotta is no exception.
Our tree was pretty tall one year, so I actually lifted up the captain to help her.
Heh-heh... Those were the days.

The market is certainly bustling during the holidays, isn't it? I thought I would go out to buy provisions, but these crowds made that a challenge.
What did I buy? They were selling these exquisite turkeys, so I purchased a couple.
I should be able to feed the entire crew with these. They'll be the main course for tonight's feast.
I also plan to make a smaller portion specifically for Charlotta's little skyfarer's meal.
You want a little skyfarer's meal too? Then I will happily prepare two.

Barawa (Event)

Oh, has the holiday season come again? When I was 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 ceasefire in the middle of battle just for this day.
Ever since then it's been a rule in the military that everyone has to 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!

Beatrix (Halloween)

Another happy day...
Sigh. Oh, you were here, (Captain).
I'm not a big fan of this holiday.
Something happened in my past that I don't like to reminisce about.
I wouldn't want to spoil your fun, so you don't have to keep me company.
Hm? Why are you still here? Oh? I see...
Thank you for staying with me, (Captain).

Heheh! I made sure to do some research into the meaning behind this holiday!
We're supposed to spend it together with the ones we hold dear. Did I get it right?
...
Um, I mean... like, I want to spend today... with (Captain)... Something like that...
O-okay? Phew... That was nerve-wracking. Hehe!
All right! I'm gonna whip up the tastiest feast you've ever eaten! This is gonna be a delicious day!

Hey, hey, (Captain)! Gimme a present!
Wait, what? You'll actually get something for me?
I mean, I was just joking... I can ask for anything? Okay then...
Um, um... Maybe if you held my hand...
Ah, n-no, I didn't say that! Forget it!
It's fine. I'll just think of something else—Wait! Don't!

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
Heh heh! Listen... I just had a crazy idea!
We're going to give presents—delicious cookies—to the children in town, right?
That means we'll be the good kids—excellent kids! And then...
That Santa guy will pay us a visit. Hehe, isn't this the best strategy ever?
It's going to be great to see Santa, isn't it? I wonder what sort of person he is.
Okay, let's go hand the cookies out, (Captain)!

Blazing Teacher Elmott

What? You want me to make you roast chicken?
You punk... You think I'm going to do it just because it involves fire, don't you!
Humph... Yeah, fine. I'll make it for you since it's a special day.

Huh? What's so special about today? Humph. I see.
It's cold and it's dark. How can anyone call this festive?
Light up the night and make it warmer for you?
Yeah, I think you got me confused for a fireplace.
Tch. Persistent brat. Fine, come closer.
...

Gyahaha! Burn baby burn! Ohh yeah, there's a good girl.
Huh? Oh, (Captain), it's you. I was just getting the stove ready for tonight's dinner.
I'm thinkin' a nice juicy turkey cooked to perfection. Mmm, roastin' that baby is gonna feel so good.
And somehow my flames seem to be getting into a jolly mood as well. Ohh man, am I gonna enjoy this.

Whoa, what's this? Lemme guess: you tried to make a giant snowman and messed up?
Wha? This is supposed to be an igloo?
And you want me to get in there and help you start a fire?
We do that, and your igloo's gonna melt away.
Huh? You sure about this? All right, just don't blame me when the snow comes tumbling down on us.
Heh, I'm surprised your little snow hut is actually still standing.
(Captain), might as well come closer to the fire if you're feeling that cold. Relax—I like you too much to turn you into cinders.

Bridgette and Cordelia

Bridgette: (Captain)! We're going to have a holiday party tonight!
Cordelia: Haha, it was Bridgette's idea. Though I did help out with a few things.
Bridgette: I made so much food...
Cordelia: While I thought of ideas to liven up the festivities.
Bridgette: Dear Cordelia will dress up in red and give out presents to everyone!
Cordelia: Bridgette... Weren't we keeping that a secret?
Bridgette: Ah...
Sorry!
Cordelia: Haha, it's fine. Just as long as (Captain) can keep it a secret from the others.
Bridgette: I sure hope you're looking forward to it, (Captain)!

Bridgette: Season's greetings! We're putting up decorations for the party later.
Cordelia: Haha, the flag seems to have caught your attention, (Captain). Bridgette took a lot of care and effort into sewing it.
Bridgette: I burned the midnight oil, hoping that flag might bring the crew some smiles!
But it was Cordelia who came up with the color arrangement.
My dearest Cordelia was thinking about it the whole time while arranging flowers. You have to admit she has great sense!
Cordelia: Oh, stop it, Bridgette. Color choice is so subjective a thing that it's hardly worth bragging about.
Bridgette: Aw, you're blushing. Haha, how cute.
We'll be done soon enough, (Captain). You're going to love it!

Bridgette: I really appreciate the help, (Captain)! Cordelia's on a mission, so she'll be coming back late.
I wasn't sure I'd be able to finish the decorations on my own, but it's a sure thing now thanks to you!
Hrgh... there! The curtain hooks, the ornaments... I can almost reach them...
Cordelia: How's this, Bridgette?
Bridgette: Huh?
Aaah! Cordelia, what are you doing here?
Cordelia: My mission ended sooner than expected.
Bridgette: Yay! That means more time with my dearest Cordelia! It's a holiday miracle!
Cordelia: Bridgette... I believe you're exaggerating, but I'm glad to be back early too.
The decorations are perfect thanks to you two. I'll handle the arrangement of the dishes.
Bridgette: I'll do it with you! The more we work together, the faster we'll finish!
Cordelia: I'll take you up on that. Off to the kitchen then.

Bridgette: Look at the snow! It is piling up ever so high, dear Cordelia!
Cordelia: And you seem to be in even higher spirits than usual! I suppose that the snow reaching these heights has me feeling quite elated as well.
Bridgette: Let's make a snowman! Oh, and how about a snow house with a snow table? We could have a snow banquet!
Cordelia: That does sound rather delightful.
The insides of snow structures are quite a bit warmer than you may think. We should be able to bring plenty of food inside with us without issue.
Bridgette: Exactly! Won't you join us, (Captain)? We'll chat and make merry until the night grows old!

Cagliostro (Event)

Happy holidays!
Hey! I wonder if Santa is gonna come visit me...
He'll only come if I'm a good girl, right?

Go to sleep already, (Captain).
You know how important tonight is. I'm going to get to the bottom of this Santa legend.
I'll catch him when he drops by in the middle of the night and make him cough up everything he knows.
Hm? That sounds so interesting that you can't fall asleep now?
Sigh... Fine, I'll put you to bed later. Go to your quarters and wait for me, okay?

Hey, (Captain)! Won't you spend the night with me?
Hm? What's with the surprised look on your face? I thought I'd be your Santa this year.
Why, you ask? Don't you know Santa's supposed to take center stage for the holiday season?
And no one's more fitting to play the part than a super cute girl like me!
You know it's true!
So gimme a hand, (Captain)! Every Santa's gotta have a reindeer after all.
Just be thankful you get to see me in my Santa outfit up close and personal.

Sigh... I wonder if Santa will finally come my way this time...
I've been such a good girl and haven't done a single bad thing all year round.
Stop. I know. You don't have to list all the exceptions.
Whatever. I didn't get to see Santa the year before or the year before that.
Humph... If he doesn't think of me as a little girl, then I'll have to use that card.
We'll have a party that runs through the night!
You gotta mix things up, what do you say?
Adults have the right to have sleepless nights anyways. You aren't going to say no to me, are you?
(Captain), tonight I won't let you get any shut eye!

Cailana (SR)

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!

Cain

Oh, (Captain)! Great timing!
What kinda food do you like? Anything you don't eat?
We're going to make a feast to celebrate the holidays!
You're from Phantagrande, right? From Zinkenstill, yeah?
Then you should experience a holiday feast Nalhegrande-style!
I'll make the dishes with love, so get ready for a little taste of heaven!

You know, every island I go to, I always get the same story about the holidays and Santa Claus.
And of course, Nalhegrande was no exception.
This can only mean Santa can freely traverse across all the skies.
I find it hard to believe he's able to go between skydoms so easily though... Makes me wonder if he might just be a myth.
Wha? You've actually met him in person, (Captain)?
Tell me more! C'mon, I wanna hear all about it while we munch on holiday chow down there!

Hey, (Captain)! If you're not busy, wanna go shopping with me?
What for? Haven't you checked your calendar? We have to stock up on supplies for tonight's holiday party!
Oh yeah, this is probably a good time to mention this too. A lot of food stalls have set up shop for the holidays.
So why not snack on some treats while we're out buying stuff?
We might as well buy as much as we can carry too! Then the others won't get mad at us for missing out if we bring them all something.
Great! Let's not waste anymore time hanging around here! What do you want to eat? I'm sure we'll find some interesting grub between the two of us!

Hey, (Captain)! There you are. What're you doing?
Decorating for the party? Oh yeah, today is a pretty big day, huh...
I guess you're busy then...
Hm? Oh, it's nothing important.
I was just thinking, it'd be nice if we could take a walk around town together since it's the holy night...
But that was a bit selfish of me, since everyone else is busy with preparations.
Huh? You're going into town later to grab some stuff?
Really now! Would it be all right if I tagged along? You could use some hands, right?
Let's hurry up and finish decorating then! Here, I'll help too!

Camieux (Summer)

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)! Here, 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 Cassie 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!

Carmelina (SR)

Hey there, holiday-goer! I made the crew something special for tonight's dinner!
It's no match for a dinner at the castle though! Heeheehee!

Wow, there's so much food here! Teehee, the castle dinners were nice, but enjoying a carefree meal with everyone is great too!
I mean, think about it. You'd be nervous too if you were sitting at the same table as the lord of the castle, wouldn't you? No one uttered a peep!
But someday I'll become a world-famous acrobat, and everyone in the castle will cheer for me!
Ahaha! I can do it, because Lyria's looking forward to my performance!

Teehee! Happy holidays!
You know what? I went out and prepared something big for tonight.
It wasn't easy, but I had enough connections to get in touch with some royal chefs!
Heehee. Everyone's in for a big surprise. Don't worry about money. I've got it all covered!
So make sure you eat and party hard tonight! Peace!

Oops, did I wake you?
Guess I wasn't moving with the catlike tread I thought.
What am I up to? Being Santa, of course!
I've got a present to leave by everyone's pillow.
How did I get in? Haha! No lock can hold the great Carmelina!
I used to dabble in escape artistry, so this was nothing!
And here's your present! Do you like it?
I'm glad to hear that! Well then, gotta visit the next good kid on my list.
Oh, and before I forget...
Happy holidays, (Captain)!

Carren (Event)

Haaappy holidays! Hey, (Captain), let's party with the crew!
As acting captain, I made a reservation at a restaurant for us!

(Captain)! You know how good I've been this year?
How 'bout letting a goody-goody like me be captain for a while? You can make it my present!
Just leave everything to me! No one'll even know the difference!
No? Tch. Party pooper!

Heya, (Captain). Big party tonight, huh? While we wait...
Ta-da! Check out this fancy cake I bought!
Hehe, you and I are gonna pig out in luxury. Sometimes you gotta spoil yourself, you know?
Man, tonight can't come fast enough. It's gonna be the bomb!

Carren's Voice: Sure! Come right in!
Carren: (Captain), what's up? You want to go shopping for the party?
Okay. I'll get ready in a jiffy.
It's cold out, right? I'll need to apply some magic to my socks to keep them warm.
Don't call me a wussy! If I don't do this, I might get frost burn!
You know what! Don't make me say I won't go shopping with you!
Hehe. As long as you know.
All right, let's head out!

Cassius (Event)

I would like to know why you are hanging curios on a tree brought in from the outside. What is the point?
You say it is in preparation for a celebration. Interesting.
But why choose such an ordinary tree when your goal is to make this room look festive?
A tree that is naturally populated with blossoms would have saved you from unnecessary decorating. You are being inefficient.
Why are you handing me ornaments? Is this your way of asking me to help?
Hmm. Active participation may allow me to understand the reasoning behind this inefficient behavior.
Very well then. I will provide assistance.

You claim that Santa Claus is an elderly man who delivers items to children without seeking payment.
I fail to see why he would give away quality goods for no compensation. It is highly illogical.
On the other hand, it does bring smiles to the children who receive those gifts.
It could be said that the value of those smiles is a sufficient trade.
Or perhaps this is yet another example of an act of kindness.
Fascinating. I would like to meet this Santa Claus someday.

Earlier, I came across children making a strange object by stacking large spheres of snow together. What are they doing?
An activity in which snow is used as a material for making a figure referred to as a snowman... Hm, a convenient and rational way to spend one's time.
Still, the snow is bound to melt when the temperature rises again. What, then, is the purpose for making such sculpted objects?
I see. So the objective is to enjoy the season through using what is only available during the winter.
To wish to fully enjoy even the changes in climate... A very typical way of thinking for fossildwellers.
It has piqued my interest. (Captain), let's head outside. Teach me how to make this object called a snowman.

(Captain), I have been looking for you.
I want you to open this drawer.
I am told this mechanism is called an advent calendar box.
For each day leading up to the holy night, one drawer is opened, thereby bestowing its gift.
Seeing as today is the long-awaited final day, the contents of the largest drawer at the bottom can now be revealed.
I've struggled to comprehend the necessity behind restricting gifts to individual lots. It defies logic, but I digress.
According to Zeta, opening the last drawer falls to the leader of an organization.
Following this guideline, you are the only one allowed to open it, (Captain).
To implement a security measure that limits access to designated personnel implies that the reward is highly valuable.
Considering the smaller drawers contained lesser items such as gumdrops or lollipops... Surely this contains something more. Perhaps even baked goods.
Hurry, (Captain). Release what is inside.

Catherine (SR)

Tis the season, (Captain).
And what a great season too. Everyone looks so happy, and they're having so much fun.
Have you decided who you want to spend the day with? Wait, me?
Don't be silly. You'll have to wait at least ten more years for that! But I'm glad you're thinking of me.
Well, maybe just for today, you can call me by my real name.

Hey. (Captain). Is there anything you want? I can steal it for you, you know.
As for compensation, I'd say... if you spent the whole day with me, that would suffice. Hehe.
Just kidding, of course. Hehe...
Though I might have been a teensy-bit serious about that compensation.

Here, I just made some hot cocoa.
How is it? The latte art isn't too bad, right? Lyria poured this one.
Hehe...
It's kind of peculiar. You know, that it's become normal to spend this festive night with someone special.
Maybe it's natural. After all, can you imagine spending this day alone?
(Captain), this is your fault. How naughty... Next year make sure you spend this time with me. Or else I'll turn you into smoke... Hehe...

You've been waiting all year, just like you promised.
Spending this holiday night with you is my idea of fun... I've been tapping my foot for the past couple of days.
Oh, lovely... Did you brew this cup of cocoa just for me?
Hehe, that's so thoughtful. I love a good cocoa, but the ones who make it for others are just as sweet.
Mm, nice and hot... And to thank you, I'll whip up my own special blend of cocoa.
What do you say to snuggling up while we sip our drinks?

Cecile

Hey, are you free tonight by any chance? There's a place I want you to come to.
Where, you ask? Well, let's just say I'll be performing on stage.
You're interested? Perfect! Here's the ticket!
I'm gonna totally fire up the stage tonight! I hope you're looking forward to it. See you there! Buh-bye!

Looks like the presents for the kids have arrived. I remember how excited I used to get when I saw them...
Huh? Did I get anything?
What'll you do if I tell you? Well, whatever. I'll answer.
I got a score from a famous orchestra. I went with my mother to a performance. It was amazing, and I wanted to try to play what they did.
There, wasn't that a boring story? Usually little girls want stuffed animals or cute things.
It's a story that suits me? I guess you're right, thanks.
I still remember that song. Maybe I'll try playing it again for the first time in a long time.
If you're interested, I'll let you listen.

Have we bought everything we need for the party?
Right then—we'd better get back to the others.
The town really is lit up like the night sky.
Seems like the perfect place to knock back a drink and enjoy the scenery.
What? You wanna join me?
Sure, why not? But we're short on time tonight, so we'll have to take a rain check.
Still... Nothing says we can't take the scenic route back. If we walk along that ridge there, we should get a great view of the town lights. And a starlit stroll might be even more romantic than a drink.
Hahaha, I'm just pulling your leg. Come on, let's get a move on!

Got your drink? Then here's to the holidays. Cheers!
Hm... You have the look of someone who can't believe they've been invited to the bar by the great Cecile.
I haven't forgotten your request from last year.
We're not alone though. 'Tis the season for couples to come out too.
If only we had five years together... Haha, I'm just messing around.
Today's round is on me, so order whatever juice you want.
I'm going to show you what it's like to be a sophisticated adult. Hopefully it'll help when you meet that special someone someday.

Ceylan (Event)

You mean you've actually met Santa Claus before? Are you kidding!
That's incredible! You have to tell me everything!

Happy holidays!
The strawberries on this cake are placed off-kilter.
Ah, (Captain), there's cream stuck on your lips.

Oh! (Captain)! Happy holidays!
Right now I'm helping Lyria and Vyrn put up the ornaments on the tree!
Would you like to join us?
Look, isn't this one beautiful?
I got this specially ordered from Siero!
Let's make this a winter we'll never forget!

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
Take a look at this cake I bought!
See this intricately-sculpted candy figure between the frosting roses?
In the light of the candelabra, it glitters like a jewel.
When I spotted it in the bakery, I knew I had to show you.
Ehehe... You really like it then? That makes me so happy.
Well, let's cut everyone a piece. Of course, you get the piece with the candy figure, (Captain).

Charlotta (Event)

Happy, happy holidays!
I really enjoy putting up decorations...
Oof... If only I could reach the top of the tree to put the star on...

Hm? Hello, (Captain). Today's the most festive day of the holiday season...
But you still seem to be awake.
The night has only just begun, you say? I am not sure I understand.
As a holy knight, it is only proper to rest early and await Santa Claus's arrival from within the world of dreams.
I have already partaken of my holiday cake and brushed my teeth!
I bid you a good night, Captain (Captain). May you have a holiday evening full of good tidings and cheer.

(Captain), I couldn't help but notice a small package sitting atop my bed.
Would you happen to know anything of it?
Since tomorrow is the day we open the presents, I assume someone was kind enough to give me a gift. However...
With no labels of any sort to say who it's addressed to, I can't help but worry there's a chance it's not meant for me.
What?
Y-you're the one who left it for me? My!
The adult's supposed to give the child the present, not the other way around!
Grufflesnicks... With this, my pride as a grown-up is all but gone!
I-I'll have to sleep early tonight! Tomorrow can't come soon enough!

(Captain), happy holidays!
Baotorda and Sevastien are preparing a meal for us this eve!
Hehe... I'm looking forward to this night.
Lyria and Vyrn also seem very excited for this evening.
Unlike the carnage on the battlefield, this moment of peace is something I would not trade for the world.

Charlotta (Summer)

Chloe (Summer)

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!

Claudia

The holiday is finally here.
If it's not too much trouble, would you mind helping me deck the halls for the party?

Tonight's festivities are right on schedule. The preparations will be flawless.
No, I can't partake in merriment. It's my duty as a maid to make sure everything is perfect.
I will use all my power to make sure all crew members have a wonderful, enjoyable evening.

Hm, this snowy backdrop is perfect for a holy night like this.
It's forced me to give up my hunt for a succulent turkey for tonight's dinner, but even I can't deny the beauty of it all.
Imagine, if you will, the pale-blue figure of Lyria standing in pure white drifts, blowing on her fingers to keep them warm...
Teeheehee...

The sight of a beautiful young maiden frolicking on the holy night fills me with joy.
I'm happy I prepared so many ornaments so that Lyria could fully enjoy decorating the tree.
Look, she's waving us over. How sweetly she beckons...
A maid's duty is to prepare and facilitate, not to participate in celebrations...
But I'm only human. No one could resist such temptation. Hee hee.

Cucouroux

(Captain), (Captain), it's almost time! Santa Claus is on his way!
I love that big bearded guy almost as much as I love my dad!
Why? Well, I wrote a letter to Santa way back when.
What did I ask for? A kind older sister, and a cute younger one. And Santa delivered!
That's why I stopped asking the guy for presents. Gotta make the rest of my dreams come true on my own!

Hmm... Will it snow today? What do you think?
You know what'll happen if it snows, right? Santa Claus will have such a tough time delivering his presents.
I'm going to leave something by my bed. But it'll get cold...
What if I stay up all night making soup and then serve it to him when he comes?
Hm? Yeah! I always make something for him when he comes.
I have to show my appreciation! He's the reason I have a little and big sister!
I just gotta leave him something to say thanks. Hehe!

(Captain)! Sorry, I've gotta go out for a little. I'll be back before the eve though!
Camieux and I are mailing a gift to our parents.
Because Santa only gives presents to kids, right? So we thought we'd make sure they get a present too!
We really struggled to think of something to give them up until the last minute...
But now we're going to have Siero deliver this.
I hope it gets to them in time. Rats... We really waited till the last minute...
Okay! Gotta go!

I'm back from my trip, (Captain)! Phew, I can't believe I actually made it in time for the holy night feast with the crew!
Thanks for letting me, Camieux, and Silva spend our island's holy night with our family though!
Dad, Mom, Uncle Dan, and all the other gunsmiths working at the alloy foundry were super happy to see us!
I have some snacks that Mom and Dad gave us too, but I'll share those with everyone during the feast.
Oh! Before I forget! Me, Camieux, and Silva made some party crackers while we had the chance!
Let's crack them open at the start of the feast and get things started with a bang!

Daetta (SR)

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 (SR)

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!

Danua

Danua: Happy...
Hansel: Danua wants to wish you happy holidays!
Danua: Hee hee hee... Let's play...

Danua: Cake...
Hansel: Oho. It sounds like Danua wants to eat that cake over there, (Captain).
Gretel: Watch it, Danua! If you eat nothing but sweets, you're gonna start putting on weight!
Danua: No...
Hansel: Hmm... Danua insists she won't.
Gretel: Yes you will! Let's exercise first! Come on!
Danua: Don't wanna...
Gretel: Don't make that face at me! (Captain)! You shouldn't spoil Danua like this!
Danua: Captain...
Hansel: What do you want to do about this, (Captain)? The decision is yours.

Danua: Cookies...
Hansel: Hm... Hm... Danua's happy that the cookies are ready!
Gretel: These taste great! Thanks for helping me, (Captain)!
Danua: Take...
Hansel: Really now? Danua wants you to have one, (Captain).
Danua: Take...
Gretel: Stop that! If you give all your cookies away you won't have no more to decorate the tree.
Danua: No...
Hansel: Danua's saying she won't run out. (Captain) can decide how many Danua eats.

Danua: Orna...
Hansel: Mhm... Yes, yes... Danua's saying she wants you to look at her hand-made ornaments for the tree.
Gretel: She put together little dolls of me and Hansel. Aren't they cute!
Danua: (Captain)...
Gretel: Hm? Is this a doll of (Captain)? It's a spitting image of the captain!
Danua: Me...
Hansel: Danua made one of herself too so that we can all be together on the tree.
Gretel: Hey now, (Captain), no need to get so embarrassed. We all like being together, right?
Danua: Heehee!

Deliford (SR)

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! 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?

Diantha (Promo)

Wow, the city lights are so beautiful tonight.
Teehee, spending the day with you makes me feel like a rebel.
Why? Well, I was always decorating the altar this time of year when I was still a maiden.
But here I am enjoying the day with you, Captain. I wonder how everyone's doing at the altar.
Anyway, I have a present for you. I hope you like it!

Ouch...
I made cake for the holiday party, but I accidentally burned my hand a bit when I was taking it out of the oven.
Hehe... Guess I should've been more careful.
Ah, it's all better now... So you can use curative magic, huh? Thanks, (Captain).
Hm? You want to know what kind of cake it was? Nuh-uh, too early for that. Teehee, you'll have to wait until the party.

Okay, the sponge is about to cool down.
(Captain), what toppings would you like on the cake?
Apple, cherry, and orange? Okay, I'll add some strawberries for myself. Let's see, how should I cut this...
First I need to place the fruit and apply whipped cream. Hehe, just a bit longer.
Hm? Whipped cream? Of course I can make it.
Like this...
Okay, I cut the cake into three pieces of the same size. I've been practicing this recipe every day, you know—
Wha! Wouldn't it be more enjoyable to take a look at it before biting in, (Captain)? Sigh...
So how is it? Should I make another one? Haha.

I love seeing all the holiday decorations in town. It never gets old.
Sparkly lights, jolly music, and people in a merry mood...
Brr, it's getting cold. I wonder if it'll snow.
Um... Is it okay if we hold hands?
My fingertips are freezing...
...
Ah, much better.
Thanks for keeping me warm, (Captain).

Dorothy

Happy, happy holidays!
What a fun-filled day! Can I interest you in anything? Cake, perhaps? Just jingle the bell and let me know what you want, okay?
You know, Santa never visited me, but that's all right.
I still love celebrating the holidays with Claudia and everyone!

Hum, hum, hum. Hum... Oh, hello, (Captain).
Couldn't wait to see me? I knew it! But now's not the time yet.
I'm working hard to make tonight's feast and cake extra special, so please wait just a tiny bit longer.

Wow, it's really piling up. The view outside is truly becoming a winter wonderland!
We had snow where I was from too, but as a kid I tried so hard to avoid the cold. It didn't leave a nice impression on me.
Now that I look at it again, it really is quite pretty. Winter nights full of holiday cheer are nice, but I don't mind these quiet moments either.
It makes me happy knowing I can serve you on your journey, (Captain).

Shall we cut a slice of cake, Master? Do you want seconds of anything? Can I top off your drink?
If there's anything more you want, please don't hesitate to tell me, and I'll get right on it!
Yes? Two large stockings, you say?
Ah! You need something for Santa to stuff presents in!
Understood! I'll have them for you in no time!
Hm, you did say two, right? Why do you need two?
One's for me?
You want me to ask Santa for something too?
Teehee, thank you. In that case I'll hang my stocking right next to yours!

Mm hmm... Hm mmph hmph hm... (Ah, memories... I used to sing at parties...)
Mmm mmmph! Hm hmmph! (I love the buzzing holiday atmosphere, and walking in a winter wonderland!)

Hmm mmm, mmmph mm! (Happy holidays, (Captain)!)
Mm... Mmph hmm hmm. (I can't enjoy the food unfortunately, but I love the feeling in the air!)
Mmph, hm hmmm. (The feelings of my heart will surely join the happy voices in harmonious chorus!)

Mmm mmph hmmm! (Season's greetings, (Captain)!)
Mm? Hnn unnh? (Oh? Go into town? How fun! I'd love to!)
Mmmph... (Hehe, strolling the streets with (Captain)... It'll be like a winter wonderland!)

Mmm mmph! Hmmm! (Look, (Captain)! Snow!)
Mmm hmm, mmph mmm! (I can't believe it's snowing on this special night. How romantic!)
Achoo!
Mmm hmm... (Urgh... I guess I shouldn't be surprised that it's cold when there's snow falling...)
Hmm.... mmm hmm? (Hm? You think I ought to go back to my room so I don't get sick?)
Mmm... hmm, mmm mmph? (You're probably right... But I'd like to stay outside just a bit longer.)
Mmph, hmmm... (The snow is so beautiful. It'd be a shame not to enjoy it.)
Mm, mmm hmph? (Really? You'll stay with me?)
Mmm! Mmph... hmm mmm! (Thank you! It would have been kind of lonely watching the snow fall by myself.)
Mmm... (And...)
Hmm, mmph mmm! (Well, I'm just really happy.)
Mmph, mmm hmmm. (Hehe. I love when the holidays are festive, but a quiet night like this is nice in its own way.)

Elmott (Summer)

What? You want me to make you roast chicken?
You punk... You think I'm going to do it just because it involves fire, don't you!
Humph... Yeah, fine. I'll make it for you since it's a special day.

Huh? What's so special about today? Humph. I see.
It's cold and it's dark. How can anyone call this festive?
Light up the night and make it warmer for you?
Yeah, I think you got me confused for a fireplace.
Tch. Persistent brat. Fine, come closer.
...

Gyahaha! Burn baby burn! Ohh yeah, there's a good girl.
Huh? Oh, (Captain), it's you. I was just getting the stove ready for tonight's dinner.
I'm thinkin' a nice juicy turkey cooked to perfection. Mmm, roastin' that baby is gonna feel so good.
And somehow my flames seem to be getting into a jolly mood as well. Ohh man, am I gonna enjoy this.

Whoa, what's this? Lemme guess: you tried to make a giant snowman and messed up?
Wha? This is supposed to be an igloo?
And you want me to get in there and help you start a fire?
We do that, and your igloo's gonna melt away.
Huh? You sure about this? All right, just don't blame me when the snow comes tumbling down on us.
Heh, I'm surprised your little snow hut is actually still standing.
(Captain), might as well come closer to the fire if you're feeling that cold. Relax—I like you too much to turn you into cinders.

When you wander the streets on the year's most joyful night, you can always hear carols.
Whether they're inside where it's warm or out in the cold, everyone celebrates the occasion by singing.
I used to just sing along by myself when I heard caroling, but I want to sing with my friends this year.
Why don't we all sing a song, (Captain)? I'm sure it will be fun!

Happy holidays, (Captain).
Everyone's enjoying the festivities, aren't they?
And that's why, um...
If it's okay... During the party, there's something I'd like to sing...
It's okay? Hurray!
I'll perform my heart out so this sacred night is a festive one for all!

The holidays certainly are chilly this year... I wonder if everyone's finished setting up for the party?
I'd like to play a song as soon as I get back to the inn, but my hands are so frozen I can't really move them...
I'm sorry... Could you give me a moment? I won't be able to strum the strings like this.
Huh? My hands? But why?
Wha! Y-you want to hold them and warm them up?
Th-this is a rather embarrassing...
But your hands are very warm, Captain...
Suddenly I feel like I could give my best performance ever. I'll be sure to make this party a festive one!

(Captain)? What are you doing awake? Can't fall asleep?
Ehehe, I can't fall asleep either. Maybe I'm still a little too excited from our holiday party.
I'm glad I ran into you though. It's almost like an early present from Santa Claus.
Oh, speaking of which, how about I play you a song before the day's over?
Okay! I'll play something nice and soothing to help you go to sleep.

Erin

More snow? I'm so tired of seeing snow.
But the snow today somehow feels special.
It must be because you're beside me, (Captain).
Sorry if that seemed a bit direct.
(Captain), let's just forget about everything happening outside and enjoy watching the snow for a while.

Santa Claus... The person who delivers presents on the holy night...
No, I'm not interested in Santa. I'm interested in his reindeer.
I read they're super fluffy and gentle creatures.
Hehe. I wonder how they really feel. I wanna touch one...
Can't it be nighttime already? Then I might be able to see one of them.
You don't need to ask! You already know I'm not going to sleep! This is my chance!

I didn't get to see any reindeer last year... Even though I waited up all night...
Hm? No. This year I'm not going to wait. There's no guarantee I'll get to see them even if I do.
Plus, there's something else that I'm more interested in anyways.
Say, (Captain). Do you know anything about polar bears?
They're much fluffier and cuter than any reindeer.
I looked it up in a book, and it turns out they live around here.
So I'd like to go see one. (Captain)... would you come with me?
I'm still not used to going outside...
Is that a yes?
Thank you. Let's get going.
Hehe. I wonder what kind of animal it is. I'm so excited.

What? This stuffed animal is for me, as a present for the holidays?
I see...
Can I ask you a question? What animal is this?
It's a fox? So this is what a fox looks like.
Hehe, it's quite soft and cute. I almost feel compelled to embrace it...
(Captain), thank you. I'll take good care of this one.

Eso (SR)

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.

Eugen (Summer)

Happy holidays to ya!
Ah! This here dinner spread is pretty tasty!
Wuzzat? I said the same thing last night? There's no shame in havin' a good meal two days in a row, ya know!

Heya, (Captain). I've got somethin' I need to ask ya. Have ya got a sec?
Ya might not have guessed it, but I've kinda got an eye for sweets.
So when ya cut the cake, could ya cut me a piece and bring it later?
If Apollo ever saw me doin' that, she'd give me an earful for sure.
Gahahah. I'd tell her to give it a rest, but I guess she's just watchin' out for me in her own way.

Whoa there... Now that's what I call a cake! What bakery did ya stumble upon?
Oho! Don't tell me you made it yourself! Well color me surprised.
Incredible... You can just make a cake whenever you're feelin' up to it?
You're really somethin', ya know that? I'll do anything I can to help—just make another one!

Hey, (Captain). You're gonna decorate a tree this year too, right?
Bahaha! I knew it. You always go big on these seasonal customs.
So anyway, I broughtcha one. A tree, that is.
You can't really enjoy tonight without a tree, now, can ya?
What? I'm in way too good a mood?
Dummy. When it comes to holidays, he who has the biggest blast wins. Didn't you know?
So let's party our hearts out, (Captain)!

Ezecrain (Event)

So it's the merriest day of the year. Ha! What a joke. Just because someone named the day doesn't make it special.
And only fools would go so far as to celebrate it. Peace is only temporary, and we have better things to do.
Still... I guess it's not a bad thing that people can enjoy themselves once in a while. But whatever.

Another merry day... Only because the night was longest on this day did someone decide to give it a name.
Fools are led astray by beautiful words and let themselves prance and hop.
I'm not saying it's wrong to relax now and then... I'm saying to keep that to a minimum.
Don't let yourself be another one of those idiots.

Just another excuse for people to frolic meaninglessly...
And yet some call this the holy night... How pretentious.
I suppose there are those who require such excuse to indulge themselves.
For them, this night must have significance.
Appreciation may be appropriate for those who cannot otherwise unwind in their daily lives.
However, there is nothing more inexcusable than unfettered merry. Even if it is the holiest night.

This is the day of the year when everyone on the ship can have a moment of rest and relaxation.
Therefore I suppose it's only fitting that some call it a holy night.
One could say the crew is only able enjoy this respite as a result of the achievements your daily efforts have wrought.
Enough with the vacant expression. Considering you're captain of this crew, all that should go without saying.
It wouldn't do to let it go to your head, but you should at least give yourself credit where credit is due.
The night is still young. I will take this opportunity to unwind briefly. You ought to get some rest as well.

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 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 (Halloween)

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!

Feena (Event)

Oh, (Captain)! Today's the big day, right? That means, well, um...
Ahaha! This isn't like me at all... I just wanted to tell you that I'd like to spend the day with you!
Well? What do you say? C'mon, spit it out! Don't you dare say no!

Happy holidays, (Captain)! So where should we go?
Hm? Tonight's a special night, isn't it? You know, for a date? C'mon, the two of us are heading out together!
Hey, what's the hold up? Oooh, are you trying not to blush? Hehehehe.
All righty then, move those legs! Don't be so uptight!

Here I am, the unrivaled cutie of holiday cheer, Feena! I get to play Santa this year and give presents to all the good boys and girls!
So without further ado, I'll use these flower petals to see how good you've been.
What will it be... Goodie-goodie, baddie-baddie, super-goodie... Goodie-goodie, baddie-baddie...
Super-goodie! Oooh, good job, (Captain)!
Now, for this very well-behaved captain, I have just the perfect gift picked out for you!
I hope you're as well-behaved next year as you were this year! Hehehehe!

(Captain)! Mm, this is too much fun!
Nothing like a party to get the holiday cheer going!
Hey, what are you pouting for?
Wait, lemme guess! It must be because you didn't get to go out with me this year for the holidays!
Heh-heh-heh... You're in luck! I was just about to ask if you wanted to go out right now!
Slipping out of a party to enjoy ourselves can be a real blast too, I'll have you know!

Ferry (Halloween)

This takes me back. I haven't celebrated winter festivities in decades...
Oh, I had so much fun then. My father was there, my mother was there... and that little girl too...
Oops, I didn't mean to dampen the mood. But I'm not sad at all.
Reminiscing with you about old times helps me enjoy the holiday.
I'm happy just like I was in my memories. Thank you, (Captain).

Listen, listen, (Captain)! I placed the star way up on top of the tree!
Back when I was celebrating with my family, they wouldn't let me help because I was too young.
I never knew how much fun decorating for the holidays could be!
Tonight's going to be super fun, (Captain)!

So we're having cake tonight...
Oh no, it's nothing. I was just remembering something from the past.
My younger sister and I loved strawberries on our cakes. We'd always fight over who gets what, which drove our parents crazy.
I was supposed to act as an older sister should, they said, and she'd end up winning the strawberries.
That really was such a long time ago. I was so serious about even small things like that back then.
What else will come back to me the next time I bite into a strawberry, I wonder?

(Captain)! Do you have any big wool stockings?
You don't? Hmm... Oh well, that's just how it goes I guess.
Did you forget what day it is? I wanted to hang stockings from the tree.
That's how you get Santa Claus to come visit or so I was told as a kid.
As you can see, I'm not a kid anymore—I'm a ghost. Does Santa even visit ghosts?
But it's still pretty exciting to think he might come, you know?
Oh, here's an idea. Why don't we go out and shop for stockings together?
We can buy some for everyone on the airship and really stuff the tree with stockings.
Heehee, I just know it's going to turn out bright and colorful.

Ferry (Summer)

This takes me back. I haven't celebrated winter festivities in decades...
Oh, I had so much fun then. My father was there, my mother was there... and that little girl too...
Oops, I didn't mean to dampen the mood. But I'm not sad at all.
Reminiscing with you about old times helps me enjoy the holiday.
I'm happy just like I was in my memories. Thank you, (Captain).

Listen, listen, (Captain)! I placed the star way up on top of the tree!
Back when I was celebrating with my family, they wouldn't let me help because I was too young.
I never knew how much fun decorating for the holidays could be!
Tonight's going to be super fun, (Captain)!

So we're having cake tonight...
Oh no, it's nothing. I was just remembering something from the past.
My younger sister and I loved strawberries on our cakes. We'd always fight over who gets what, which drove our parents crazy.
I was supposed to act as an older sister should, they said, and she'd end up winning the strawberries.
That really was such a long time ago. I was so serious about even small things like that back then.

We can buy some for everyone on the airship and really cover the tree with stockings.

Friday (Summer)

Friday: Oh hello, (Captain)! Hey, would you take a look at this?
I'm writing Santa Claus a letter to let him know all about the wonders of Premium Friday!
He brings such joy to the skies. We should really give some back, don't you think?
And if Santa starts celebrating Premium Friday, I'm sure every kid on his list, and their parents, will get onboard!
Ahh, this'll spread the message for sure! I'm so excited!
All right, I'm off to deliver this letter!
FRIED SHRIMP, away!
FRIED SHRIMP: Fry-fryyy!

This may be a bit sudden, (Captain), but do you think I could borrow the ship deck tonight?
Actually, I wanted to pass a letter to Santa last year to inform him of the benefits of Premium Friday...
But I just couldn't find him no matter where I flew with my FRIED SHRIMP. My plan ended up being a failure...
That's why, this year, I'm thinking of where he might appear ahead of time and making plans to ambush him there!
Yes. Like this very ship! Since there are so many children in your crew, Santa has to come!
You're asking if I'll be cold waiting out here? Oh dear, are you worried about me?
I'll be fine. I have my piping hot FRIED SHRIMP with me, straight out of the fryer. I don't feel cold at all!
Well then, I'll be starting my preparations, so don't mind me. Have a wonderful holy night, (Captain)!

Hey, (Captain), you showed up at a fantastic time!
This town is having a special offer right now! Every guest who stays at a participating inn gets a coupon for a free meal!
See, tourism's slowed to a trickle recently thanks to monsters throwing a tantrum.
Now, you know I frown on overtime, but a society that's willing to work but can't is just plain wrong! So I'm here to fix that!
Come on, (Captain)! It's the holidays! Invite a special someone over, and have a grand old time!
Mm-hm! All the promotion details are laid out in this handy little pamphlet! I promise you're going to wanna give it a gander!

Ah, I see you've zeroed in on the razzling, bedazzling lights that ornament FRIED SHRIMP.
A village chief asked me to add those bells and whistles as part of their village's revitalization project!
The shrimpers love their work, but the village has little else to attract tourists. That kept the chief up at night.
So to spice up the place, I'm doing flybys from time to time to rain down cheerful messages.
Who can resist the enchanting costume and charming tail? No one, that's who!
Well, well! The sight of a crispy, flashing FRIED SHRIMP is bound to make anyone hungry.
Might I recommend this special edition winter holiday shrimp box to appease your growling tummy? Every morsel was caught by the shrimpers here, of course!
It also includes shrimp doria and shrimp cocktail.
Why not buy a bunch for the entire crew!

Galadar (SR)

Bwahahah!
Sorry I'm missin' the white hair.
But a red-haired Santa is 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'!

Gayne

Happy holidays!
What, (Captain)? Do I look like I'm having a good time?
Hehe. Yes, I'm enjoying myself.
After all, on this airship, there is always fun to be found!
Allow me to add my sword dance to the entertainment list!

Happy holidays!
(Captain)... I have something to ask...
There's a special holiday performance tonight with one of my favorite dance troupes. Won't you come with me?
Don't worry, we should be able to make it back to the ship in time for the party.
Hehe. Thank you! I'm so happy! Why, I could dance with joy!
Oh, don't be like that; I won't actually dance with joy.
Probably.

You want me to give the tree a pruning with my sword dance?
I can't really say it'll turn out well though...
But since it's to pretty-up our crown jewel of the holiday season and a direct order from the captain, I'll give it my best shot!
Um, if I pull this off and make the tree look great, there's one favor I want from you.
Could we have a mini-ball around the tree during tonight's party?
If we do, I want you to be my dance partner.
Is that a yes? Yay, thank you!
Now stand back and witness the awe of my sword dance!

(Captain)! O-oh! Look at me, all flustered!
Say, do you remember that performance we went to a few seasons back? By my favorite dance troupe? Yes, that lovely show!
Well, the troupe sent me an invitation! They want me to come not as a guest, but as a dancer!
Oh, it's like a dream come true... To think that my sword dance would be among the jewels adorning this dazzling night!
My! (Captain), you're coming to the show?
I'm so very thrilled! I'll put on such a fiery performance, you won't be able to tear your eyes away.

Ghandagoza (Summer)

Happy holidays! Hm? What's all this?
Red socks, red hat, red suit... Surely you jest...
I... I...
I'll never switch over to Holirage Style!

The day has arrived when I, Ghandagoza, scion of the arts of the Eternal Rage Style, roar louder than any other!
Bwahahahaha! With burlap sack in hand, I will bring cheer to children everywhere!
I will become the legendary martial artist of the holiday season! I hereby dub myself...
Santagoza!

Eve-ho! Eve-ho! Eve-ho! Eeeve-ho!
Hrm? (Captain)! What hath happened! A troubled faced thou does have!
What? Me? Playing around?
Bwahahahaha! Not so, not so! Does thou think me an infant? I am the wizened master of the fistial arts!
Absurdity...
But it is all well. Now come, join me in training!
Charge! Brace! Punch!
Eve-ho! Eve-ho! Eve-ho! Eeeeve-ho!
Gwahahaha!
Think not this is child's play ever again!

Theeere! Puuunch!
Punch! Punch! Delicious holiday puuunch!
(Captain), there is no need to look at me so skeptically.
I have no intention of hiding my feelings anymore. I... love....
The holidaaays!
Gahahaha!
See over there? I brought a tremendous cake to celebrate!
(Captain), you must call in the others.
Their presence would surely be the icing on the caaaake!
Nuhahaha!

Goblin Mage

Why is everyone so excited? Huh? Winter holly... day?
Hrm... Holly-day...
Oh, holiday! Hey, I said it! Now I know why everyone's getting excited!

Hmmm... I wanna ask you something, (Captain). I found a funny box by my bed, see!
Hm... San... ta. Cla... us? Santa... Claus?
It's from Santa Claus! Heheheh! I can read it! Thanks, Santa!

(Captain)! Guess what I saw! There was a reindeer right over there!
Hm? Reindeer don't live in towns? But I saw it! I really saw it!
It had horns and a bright red nose... And it told me it flies through the air all the time!
Let's see... Its name was Lam... Or Lamret... Lam-something...
I'm not lying! Come see it with me! It's probably still asleep on the ground in front of the tavern!

(Captain), I want you to help me! Tell me how to meet Santa!
I wanna see him and say thanks for the presents!
You mean he's too busy to meet people?
Yeah, I guess he's delivering presents for the whole world...
But I wanna see him... I wanna tell him how grateful I am in person...
You think I should write a letter?
(Captain), that's a great idea! I'll go write one right away!

Grea (Event)

Hey, (Captain)... There's something I want to ask you.
I've only ever gotten to celebrate the winter holiday with Anne.
So I was wondering if this time I could exchange presents with everyone.
Would that be okay?
Hee-hee, thanks. I'd better start shopping for gifts everyone would like.
Will you go with me, (Captain)?

Hey, (Captain). Do you have a sec?
All the kids at Mysteria were talking about throwing a holiday party...
Yeah, so... you should come too if you can, (Captain).
Huh? No, nobody will mind at all!
Anne, Owen, and the class president all want to see you, (Captain).
And I'd be really happy if you came too.
So what do you say?
Really? That's great to hear.
Thanks. Everyone else and I will be looking forward it.

Oh, (Captain). Good timing.
Can I ask you to accompany me for a bit?
I'm thinking of getting presents for Anne and Owen.
But I'm not sure what they'd like best...
I was hoping you could help me pick them out.
You'll come along? Great, let's have a good look around.
Teehee, it'll be so much fun shopping with you, (Captain)...

What's something I can cook that would make everyone happy...
Oh, (Captain). Perfect timing.
About the holy night... I'm going to be making the dishes for the party this year.
I've been thinking about what to make, but I can't seem to come up with any good ideas...
Anne already said she'll bake the cake, so... Do you have any suggestions, (Captain)?

  • Choose: Roast beef
    Roast beef, huh? Yeah, that could be a nice and sophisticated dish.
  • Choose: Roast chicken
    That's true. Roast chicken is perfect for gatherings...
    But it's actually pretty challenging to make.

Thanks for the idea, (Captain). That really helped.
I'll do my best to prepare something delicious for everyone.
I hope you'll have some at the party too.

Hazen (SR)

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.

Helnar (Summer)

I always used to spend the holidays with my family.
But sometimes it's fun to just go partying with some friends! Now, I wonder if there are any beautiful ladies out there...

Did you know that different regions have their own ways of celebrating tonight?
I've come across quite a few customs as I hopped from city to city.
There's a place where it's a day for lovers to reaffirm their affections for each other.
Romantic, isn't it?
Celebrating with your one true love...
That's the best thing in the world.
I hope I can find someone to share my heart with someday.
There's a party going on in the city right now. If I go, do you think I'll run into the one, (Captain)?

It's a beautiful night, isn't it, (Captain)? A romantic moon like that—really makes you want to snuggle up to somebody special.
I bet that's why you've come to see me.
Hehe. It's okay to assume something vain like that, right?
After all, you're the one who came to me.
Want to go outside for a bit?
I want to show you just how beautiful the night sky is. Well, shall we?

Mm, aah... Oh, it's you, (Captain). What's happening?
Hm? The party's already started? That's right, it's the eve of the big holiday, isn't it?
I'm sorry... I was totally absorbed in making models. Thank you for coming to let me know.
Let me lead you to the venue.
You don't mind if I have you all to myself on the way, do you?

Herja (SR)

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!

Io

Happy holidays!
Come on! Let's go get some cake!

There really are all kinds of great things to do this time of year.
You can spend time with your friends. You can eat great food. And you can even get presents from Santa Claus!
Hehe. It really is the best time of year!
I can hardly wait for it each time.
Hey, let's go over to the kitchen! I'm sure someone's making something good for dinner.
We should help them out! Then maybe we'll get to try some!

Hehe! I'll be making the cake for tonight!
And you'll be helping me, (Captain)! Let's see if we have all the ingredients ready...
Hm? Where's the apple? I could have sworn I put it here. Don't tell me...
I know who did it! We'll bake that cake later, (Captain). First we gotta catch this thief!
Hehe. Time to add some roast lizard to tonight's menu.

(Captain)! Hey, (Captain)! It's snowing!
Hehe. Don't you think it's romantic?
This holiday really isn't complete without a thick, white blanket of snow.
What? You wanna have a snowball fight! And you want me to go round up the rest of the girls to join?
Really, (Captain)! Way to ruin the mood!

Ippatsu (SR)

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?

J.J. (Summer)

The festive season? Can't say I ever heard of that!
As an orphan, I didn't get a Santa hat! I didn't get a tree or presents from the store!
So what the heck are you botherin' me for?
Yo, you want to give me all that stuff? Well, then I hope a thanks is enough...

Yo, happy! Happy, happy! Happy holidays!
Tonight, we're gonna party 'til we drop! And I'll be coming in, bringing on the hip-hop!
Captain, J.J., everybody!
You want a tree? One red costume, please! How about some fruitcake? Let's party, for goodness sake!
Hey, what's goin' on up here? I'm not feeling the cheer. We gotta raise the roof with this crew!
Just kidding, Captain. We're having a good time. This place is so happening!
Heheh. Now this is what I call a real happy holiday!

Yo, yo, jingle bells, jingle bells!
Ringing those bells, dashin' through the snow, party's gonna start before you even know!
All right y'all, Santa J.J. is in the house!
Jinglin' here, jinglin' there, blingin' all the way! Ho!
All together, all together, let's party night and day!
Whoo! Happy holidays! You havin' fun, (Captain)?
Holiday partaaay! Yeaaaah!

What am I bringing to the gift exchange? Well, someone's gonna get a healthy dose of my freestyle!
J.J. droppin', poppin', hip-hoppin', O ho-ho-ho holy night!
It's hot—so hot—meltin' the snowy twilight!
Singin' "yo!" The holiday's awaitin'! And so! We gonna go a-wassailin'!
See the ice—bling bling—wrappin' 'round the tree!
Keep on rhymin'—ring-a-ling—a freestylin' spree!
Oh, what fun is it to rhyme on this Noel scene. Getcha holly-jolly on, y'know what I mean?
Can I hear ya say "yeah"? Yeaah!
Okay! That rap's a wrap! My present's good to go!
What? It's supposed to be something physical? But I don't have anything else to give...

Jamil (Dark)

Hmm... Ah, would you like a gift, Master (Captain)? I have obtained some toys and treasures.
Yes, I liberated them from a bandit. He was carrying a large bag full of presents as he ran away from me.
But there's one thing I don't understand. Why would he dress in such an eye-catching red outfit... What? It was Rackam in costume?
Oh no... This is the most mortifying thing that's ever happened to me...

... Ah, Master (Captain), forgive me for not responding immediately.
Because of my little mishap the previous year, I decided to give Rackam a hand this year.
But he immediately told me to run off to bed for some reason.
I wonder if he'll be okay carrying such a large bag alone...

I have erected a snowman over there, Master. Please make good use of it.
Hm? For what purpose?
My clan would routinely use it for clandestine operations. You can observe the enemy by hiding inside.
Even if a snowman wasn't there before, no one would give a second thought to a freshly made one. There is a small caveat however...
You'll freeze to death if you fall asleep inside it. Well, honestly it's not that big of a deal.

Are you heading out, Master?
In that case, rest assured that your security will be absolute. I have built snowmen all over town in which I can conceal myself in order to watch over you.
Should any miscreants dare to cast the shadow of violence over your holiday outing, I shall eliminate them before they have a chance to—
Hm? I should just come along with you? But...
Understood. Then I shall travel with you as your bodyguard.
Thank you for your consideration.

Yes, I liberated them from a bandit. He was carrying a large bag full of presents as he ran away from me.
But there's one thing I don't understand. Why would he dress in such an eye-catching red outfit... What? It was Rackam in costume?
Oh no... This is the most mortifying thing that's ever happened to me...

... Ah, Master (Captain), forgive me for not responding immediately.
Because of my little mishap the previous year, I decided to give Rackam a hand this year.
But he immediately told me to run off to bed for some reason.
I wonder if he'll be okay carrying such a large bag alone...

I have erected a snowman over there, Master. Please make good use of it.
Hm? For what purpose?
My clan would routinely use it for clandestine operations. You can observe the enemy by hiding inside.
Even if a snowman wasn't there before, no one would give a second thought to a freshly made one. There is a small caveat however...
You'll freeze to death if you fall asleep inside it. Well, honestly it's not that big of a deal.

Are you heading out, Master?
In that case, rest assured that your security will be absolute. I have built snowmen all over town in which I can conceal myself in order to watch over you.
Should any miscreants dare to cast the shadow of violence over your holiday outing, I shall eliminate them before they have a chance to—
Hm? I should just come along with you? But...
Understood. Then I shall travel with you as your bodyguard.
Thank you for your consideration.

Jasmine (SR)

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!

Jeanne d'Arc (SR)

Happy holidays! Huh? You want to know who I'll be spending my time with? Hrm, with all my friends in the crew I suppose.
The winter chill will be tough to brave, but days like this when we can just relax and enjoy each other's company makes it all the more bearable.
Even when surrounded by frigid snow, the company of others helps me forget the cold and have a good time.
It's important to remember that we're not alone.
Haha... Shall we go and prepare dinner?

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
Today's a festive night! The children can barely contain their excitement waiting for Santa Claus!
Huh, me? I'm a little too old to get presents from Santa Claus... Right?
Although I do cherish all of the presents that I've received in the past.
Mm? What kind of presents?
Let's see... My favorite was a stuffed rabbit, I guess.
I used to make clothes for Mr. Bunny myself. That's how I learned to enjoy sewing.
I hope the children will forever treasure the presents they receive tonight.

Hello, (Captain). Happy holidays!
Oh... I'm sorry, that was a little loud, wasn't it?
I was doing some vocal training just now. I'll need to get used to lowering my voice again...
Hm? Why vocal training, you ask? Why, for the holiday carols, of course...
Oh! Come to think of it, other towns might not have the same customs we do.
In Orleans, everyone gathers and offers up a song of prayer on the holy night.
I was practicing so my song can ring out and reach the creator in the skies above...
Huh? You want to hear it? O-oh, well... All right, then I will sing it once more for you.

Happy holidays, Captain. Have you finished hanging up ornaments?
I also just returned from helping the village children decorate a holiday tree.
They really enjoyed the small Santa Claus doll I made...
So much so that they were about to fight to see who could place it on the tree. I'll have to make more for next year.
What? You wish you could have seen it?
Hehe, how about I make one for you next year as well?
If it will brighten up your holy night, then I shall be happy to do it.

Jessica (Event)

This season brings back so many memories. My brother and I used to stay up late trying to catch Santa...
My dream is to spend the holidays with the people I care about most.
Who do you want to spend the holiday season with, (Captain)?

This is the season for celebration. With that in mind, I did my best to prepare something tasty for you.
Hehehe. I really do love cooking. And I love watching people enjoy my cuisine.
Tonight I will prepare a feast for all to enjoy!

Captain! Santa should be coming soon, so hurry up and get in bed!
If you stay up too late, then Santa might leave without visiting the Grandcypher.
I'll put you in a time-out if you don't go to sleep this instant!

The holiest night of the year has come round again, (Captain).
I know you'll have fun celebrating with everyone, but don't stay up too late, all right?
If you find yourself tossing and turning in bed, I'll come tuck you in and send you right off to dreamland.
I used to be in charge of putting my little brother to bed at night. I'd sing him lullabies, or read him bedtime stories...
Haha... Sometimes I ended up putting myself to sleep in the process. But it did work.

Jin (Event)

Happy holidays! It really warms my heart to see all the kids running around so happy.
May you have a most wonderful evening, (Captain)!

I wish you happy holidays, (Captain)!
Tis the season for friends to gather and enjoy each other's company.
When I roamed the skies alone, I was so emotionally distant from everyone else.
So the opportunity to spend the holidays with close friends is a true blessing for me.
Everything should be experienced once—even loneliness. Of course I can only say that because I've moved past it.

Impersonating Santa Claus and passing out presents to children—that is the reason for the season.
And speaking of, I've just come back from fetching a present to put on Sara's pillow.
But entering the bedroom of a sleeping girl seems quite ungentlemanly.
What should I do? Perhaps I shall enlist the help of Volenna. Mmm...

Excuse me, Captain, could I trouble you for a moment of your time?
Thank you. You see, I've been trying to decide on a holiday gift for Sara.
I've been to toy stores, general stores, and clothing shops, but I'm not sure what she would like...
I'm at an utter loss, and now the day is already upon us. How disgraceful...
Volenna is busy preparing dinner in the kitchen, so I can't ask for her advice...
Would you perhaps be willing to accompany me on my shopping expedition?
You have my deepest gratitude. With your assistance, I'm sure I'll be able to figure something out!
And I'll have time to find something for you as well!
Oh...
That was supposed to be a secret... What a blunder...
Well, the surprise may be ruined, but please let me know if you see anything that catches your eye.
I've set aside funds just for this occasion!

Joel (SR)

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...

Johann (Event)

Happy holidays.
It seems that this holiday has been celebrated for a long time. I wonder when it originated?
I imagine it was much different back then.
Now all of the cultures from around the Sky Realm have mixed together to come up with what we see today. Amazing, don't you think?

It seems the holiday season is upon us once again.
I must confess, I've been rather preoccupied with my research as of late and lost track of time completely.
Heh heh... I can hear such lively voices outside. And I imagine you came here to bring me with you, yes? Let's go join the crew together.

Seasons greetings, (Captain)! Holidays only come once a year, so let's make the most of them!
Is it out of character for me to say that?
Haha, guess it shows how long I've been a member of this crew.
I've gotten used to being a reveler. I might as well act the part and be merry.
Plus, I could probably use this experience as inspiration for my research!

Happy holidays, (Captain).
This is a beautiful night. It's cold out, but the sky is clear, and I feel like I can hear the sound of the stars.
It's like my mind is hypersensitive... I might even make real progress with my research!
I must be going to my room!
Don't mind me. Everyone have a lovely evening!
Farewell!

Joy (Event)

(Captain), is it New Year's already? The town looks so shiny!
Joy hasn't done Joya's job yet! Oh no! Oh no! Joy wasn't paying attention and missed New Year's!
Meep... Is there still time to do Joya's job?
What? Today is a different holiday?
Not New Year's yet, but we still have parties?
Then Joy wants to party too! Happy Different Holiday, (Captain)!

(Captain)! Happy holidays!
Joy is wondering! Why do people celebrate the holy night?
Because it is a day to show appreciation? For friends and family?
Joy has learned. Holy night! A day for friends and family!
Joy is happy to be with (Captain)! Thank you! Happy holidays!

Joy helped prepare for the party today!
It was hard carrying so many chairs...
But a lot of chairs means a lot of people are coming tonight, right?
That makes Joy happy!
Joy is glad to be able to spend time with people Joy cares about!
Happy winter season! We can all be happy together!

It's snowing, (Captain)! Joy found pretty snowflakes—take a look!
Huh? Where are they? Joy was holding them until just now!
Joy's snowflakes... melted?
Understood. That is a shame.
Choose: Joy, look!
Oh? What is it?
Wow! You have so many snowflakes, (Captain)!
Joy understands now. Even if they melt, just find new snowflakes!
Joy will find even prettier snowflakes this time! Just you wait!

Juri (Event)

Leave the decorations to me!
I learned all about the logistics of cutting down and shipping trees when I was in the military!

Ah, looks like more empty plates! I need to keep the food coming. Oh, (Captain)!
Yes, I know I should be relaxing instead of running around, but...
Haha, well, when I was in the military, it was my responsibility to do all the menial tasks at banquets. Not that I wanted to...
Okay, I'm going to take your suggestion and rest for a change. Thank you.
By the way, (Captain), can I get you any—Oops, there I go again.
Haha. I don't think I'll ever be able to rid myself of my commanding officers' influences.

Happy holidays, (Captain)! Today I'll be lending my expertise in the kitchen too.
What, you didn't think I could cook?
Back in the military, we each took turns preparing meals for the unit. I wouldn't say I was the best or anything, but they ate what I served at least.
Out in the field, a hearty meal is imperative for maintaining morale. That was another lesson I took to heart.
Hmm... Are you trying to sneak in bites before dinner?
Haha, I won't stop you.

Hrrgh! Argh!
Juri lugs around a heavy box.
Ngh! This sure is heavy... I could use a break.
Ah, (Captain)! Happy holidays!
Choose: What's up?
Erm... I thought I'd get this ready for tonight's gift exchange.
I have some of my favorite books in here. Mostly revolving around tales about knights...
I had trouble singling it down to just one, so I brought a whole box of them.
Ah, that's right! I should give you one too, (Captain)!
Juri opens up the box and begins looking over its contents.
I wonder which one you'd like best... This one's a classic knight-in-shining-armor-saves-the-princess story.
But it's got a unique twist on things. Despite being a knight, the protagonist isn't too great with a sword. It's full of thrills, and...
(Captain) simply listens with a smile.

Karteira (SR)

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 (SR)

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!

Katalina (Summer)

Season's greetings!
Tonight I'll be serving a cake I baked all by myself! Hey wait, where are you going!

Ugh, I'm exhausted. Huh? Oh, hello, (Captain).
I was thinking of baking a nice cake and giving some to everyone.
And when I said I was going to cook something nice for dinner, they all hurriedly dragged me out of the kitchen.
I wonder why they did that...
Oh, did you want my help with something? Okay, I'll lend you a hand.
It's too bad about the cake, but it gives us something to look forward to next year.

(Captain), perfect timing! I need your help! On my signal we're going to smash through the kitchen doors!
Every single year others cook while I don't even lift a hand—and that's inexcusable.
I conjecture that Farrah and Vira are simply looking out for me.
And as their superior officer, I can't bring myself to ask them for their assistance in baking a cake.
So this year I'll break into the kitchen and spearhead a cake-baking operation.
It is my duty as someone they look up to. Don't you agree, (Captain)?
Now, let's head for the kitchen... Remember, when I give the signal—
Huh? (Captain), where did you go? You completely disappeared...

Season's greetings, (Captain)!
Have you seen the tree yet? Lyria decorated it with Vyrn.
He flew up and put the star on the top for us.
He looked so proud... Hehe, it was adorable.
Lyria would ask me if each ornament she put together looked pretty.
She worked diligently, but she still enjoyed every second of it.
In fact, I baked them some cookies for all their hard work.
See? They're shaped liked stars. I'm pretty confident in my own recipe, but would you try a bite for me?

(Captain), perfect timing! I need your help! On my signal we're going to smash through the kitchen doors!
Every single year others cook while I don't even lift a hand—and that's inexcusable.
I conjecture that Farrah and Vira are simply looking out for me.
And as their superior officer, I can't bring myself to ask them for their assistance in baking a cake.
So this year I'll break into the kitchen and spearhead a cake-baking operation.
It is my duty as someone they look up to. Don't you agree, (Captain)?
Now, let's head for the kitchen... Remember, when I give the signal—
Huh? (Captain), where did you go? You completely disappeared...

Season's greetings, (Captain)!
Have you seen the tree yet? Lyria decorated it with Vyrn.
He flew up and put the star on the top for us.
He looked so proud... Hehe, it was adorable.
Lyria would ask me if each ornament she put together looked pretty.
She worked diligently, but she still enjoyed every second of it.
In fact, I baked them some cookies for all their hard work.
See? They're shaped liked stars. I'm pretty confident in my own recipe, but would you try a bite for me?

Keehar

It's that time of the year again! And what better way is there to spend winter's longest night than around a table with the people you love?
Ha-ha! But then again, maybe the little ones are more interested in the presents from Santa.
I know I was always excited about him paying a visit when I was little!
Of course I didn't actually meet the man himself until after I grew up...
He's quite a friendly guy, and chatting with him while I helped him deliver presents was such a hoot!
Ha-ha! Selfira has grown up enough to start doubting the existence of the big guy...
But that's a huge mistake! All you have to do is open your ears, and I'm sure you'll hear him laughing tonight!

Hm? What are you looking for, (Captain)?
Oh! So you're looking for a broom and a mop! I've hidden those.
Dahahaha. On the holiest night, the fairies use a mop and broom to soar through the skies and make mischief.
So to stop them, I hid the mop and broom in a certain place.
Dahahaha! Do you think I'm talking about some urban myth? I've had my run in with them...
Listen here! During the minstrel crew's feast on the holy night, all the food disappeared into thin air.
Everyone was so sad that now we take precautions. We don't leave the mop and broom out. No...
Dahahaha! Whether or not you believe me is up to you!

Tis the season, (Captain)!
Speaking of seasons, it's quite frosty out there. It may even snow soon, methinks!
By the way, (Captain), have you heard of this?
On the most silent of winter nights, one may see a dancer in the snow by chance.
They say that those who catch a glimpse of the dancer are destined for a life-changing encounter!
Dahahaha! You know, I've actually seen her once myself long ago... I say, It was a most mezmerizing dance.
And you know what? It was the night before I first joined the order of minstrels as a guardian. True story!
Oh?
Dahaha! It really has started snowing! Perhaps another fateful encounter awaits us tonight, (Captain)!
You wish to see the dancer in the snow as well, don't you?
Come come! Together now, let us depart on a search of our own!

Tonight's a festive night, isn't it? If you want to disembark the ship, best to do so in a jiffy.
You see, wicked fairies riding mops and snow-drawn dancers will soon appear to greet Santa Claus as he flies through the night.
Who knows what kind of lively encounters you might have! Keep your wits about you.
Dahaha, you might think I'm pulling your leg, but there's wisdom in my tale.
The year end is the time when work begins to get out of hand—precisely the environment where accidents occur!
And not just that, but one accident when you're out skyfaring could be enough to cause irreversible consequences.
Therefore it's in your best interest to slow down and lead your ship with care!
I guarantee Santa Claus is guiding his reindeer with aplomb, so let's follow his example as we glide through the winter!

Korwa (SR)

Hm... What should I do? Who else can I invite?
Oh, (Captain)! Happy holidays!
Perfect timing. I was just throwing together a party. Wanna come?
I've asked Lowain and his bros, the class president, and some other friends. The more the merrier, right?
If you're busy, you can just pop in for a second. Everyone'll be glad to see you!
Really? Great, then follow me to fun!
This night comes but once a year, after all. Let's let loose while the letting's good!

Whoo-hoo! This dazzling candle is the perfect topper for this magnificently decorated tree!
Aaand it's up! Now there's a picture-perfect scene at any angle, wouldn't you agree?
Awesome. Since the decorations are up and everything, it's time to get down at tonight's party!
I love me some lights, candy canes, and wreaths, but the real magic of the season takes place at the table with all my friends!
Heehee, you didn't think you'd be sitting this one out, did you, (Captain)? Come on, let's go!

Hehe, nothing beats a walk through town to get into a festive mood!
Why? Because of the lights? Oh, yeah, we chatted about that before, didn't we?
But it's not just the lights. Listen. Use your ears.
You hear all those happy voices—people chatting and laughing everywhere?
There's nothing like being surrounded by holiday cheer to make you cheerful too!
Now come on, we should get this shopping over with and have some fun too!
The most eye-catching cake out there is gonna be ours!

There you are, (Captain)! I picked up our chicken dinner!
I also brought my gift for our Secret Santa exchange!
Hehe, you know, I practically jumped for joy when you first suggested we do this.
It's like you've gone from just a customer to a friend who's willing to party with me.
We're practically besties now, so if you've got any more great ideas, feel free to share!
I can't wait to sing with everyone as we pass the presents around...
And when the music stops, I wonder who'll receive the Santa style clothes I worked so hard on...
Ah, right, the presents are supposed to be a secret. Forget you heard anything!

Krugne (SR)

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.

Kumbhira (Event)

Kumbhira: (Captain), welcome back. And happy holidays. Where were ya?
Just buying some stuff for tonight's feast? I see. Glad you're back.
Was it cold outside? Here, my little piglets will help warm you up.
Piglets: Squee!
Kumbhira: Hehe. Sit beside me so they can warm us both up.

Ah, (Captain)... The holiday party sure is lively. Are you enjoying yourself?
Huh? You called out to me because you saw me all alone in the corner over here?
Ahaha... Sorry if I made you worry.
To be honest, I'm feeling a bit anxious right now...
We have the entire crew gathered here, but there's there so many people I've never spoken to. It might be too lively for me...
Eep! (Captain)? What are you suddenly grabbing my hand for?
We're going to leave the party to take it easy in your room?
But if you're not here, the party—
With a smile, (Captain) puts a finger to Kumbhira's lips before leading her to the exit.
(Oh, what do I do... I really don't want to stand out...)
(Please don't come out now, Hamward!)

Wow... These are all ornaments for the tree?
Candies, socks, ribbons, sparkling orbs... Everything's so pretty, I don't know what to choose.
We had a tree in my village, but we hung amulets and paper strips instead.
Ahaha... I'm starting to think we had the wrong idea.
Oh, but we at least put a proper star on top.
My brothers and sisters always fought over who got to do it, so I've never actually done it myself...
What? You'll let me be the one to place the star?
Hehe... I appreciate it, but isn't it a big responsibility? Kind of makes me nervous...
Oh! How about we do it together? That way I can relax a little bit.
Would that be all right?

Wow, I didn't realize it was snowing outside! What a beautiful winter wonderland.
Brr... It's romantic and all, but really cold out here... At this rate, we might freeze before we make it back to the Grandcypher.
Oh, the tip of your nose is getting red, (Captain). Just like a reindeer, hehe. Cute.
Huh? Mine's getting red too? Ahaha... Guess we'll just have to hog the fireplace when we get back.
Hehe. It really is chilly today...
But it's strange how even though it's so cold outside, when we're together like this, my heart feels really warm.
And it's not just with anyone... I only feel this way when I'm with you, (Captain).
Huh? Even my cheeks are red now? Y-you don't have to say it out loud! It's so embarrassing...

La Coiffe (SR)

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...

Ladiva (Holiday)

What a splendid holiday! Did Santa bring you anything nice?
Oh? You say you're not a kid anymore?
Well, allow me to give you a more suitable present then. How 'bout a smooch? Mwuah!

When I think about Santa Claus, I realize just how lacking my own love is...
On a cold winter's night, Santa brings warmth to all the good boys and girls in the skydom...
But what can I do? Nothing big or grand. There are so many I can't reach out to.
Oh dear, how could I even think about giving up now? That wouldn't be love!
It might not be glamorous, and I still have a lot to learn, but at least I have someone close by to practice on... right? Hehe!

Happy holidays, (Captain)! What are you doing in the galley?
You came to help out, you say? Why, thank you! We're really strapped for helpers right now.
We need more and more food to feed an ever growing crew.
Yes, the eaters are many, but the chefs really get to shine and showcase their home cooking.
I know eating is such a delight, but try to hold on just a bit longer.
Sorry, but could I have you saute this without letting it burn?
And don't you sneak in tastes either. That'll only spoil the fun!

How about a gingerbread cookie, (Captain)? Fresh out of the oven!
Where I'm from during the holidays, er, end of the year, we always ate gingerbread men.
It was tradition to make the cookies to contain and protect from bad omens during the holiday festivities.
It might seem a bit barbaric, but it feels so good to just crunch into their little heads.
We all made cookies back at the orphanage... I'm sure they're making them again this year as well.
Perhaps I'll make an appearance at the orphanage once the holidays have settled down a little bit—with plenty of belated presents for everyone!

Laguna

Happy holidays.
I've heard that milk and the holidays go hand in hand.
So I went and got you a bunch of this great milk.
I was thinking we could sit here, relax, and enjoy it. You know... together.
It's just my opinion, but... I think a day like this is better spent... together. Hehe.

The festive lights in town this time of year are amazing.
You can feel the holiday spirit everywhere. I'm starting to get into a merry mood myself.
How about you, (Captain)? Ah, you too?
Haha. In that case why don't we take a stroll through town together?

This is just my take, but it feels like everyone's tired from the goings-on in their lives.
Especially you, (Captain). You're always going out of your way to help someone...
So you should spend tonight recovering from the rigors of this journey. It's a holiday, ya know. Plus it's cold outside.
Here, have some hot milk. Bottoms up.
Isn't it nice to have a quiet moment, even on days as uplifting as this one?

With the town lit up so nicely, there's no doubt that tonight is the holiest night.
What do I want for a present? Haha, thank you, but just the sentiment is enough.
But if I had to pick something, well... How about we head back and enjoy a cup of hot milk together?
You can wait with me while I prepare it.
Hehe, spending that time with you is better than any other present in the world.

Lamretta (Water)

Happy holidays! Let's make this the most happenin' holiday party there ever was!
With that out of the way, it's time for a holiday toast!
Wait. You're a little young to drink, aren't ya? No worries! I made sure to get some fruit juice just in case!

Heh heh heh... A special festive night like tonight calls for some heavy duty partying!
Hrm... With a little bit of grape juice, if you know what I mean.
Hm? You wanna celebrate with me too, (Captain)?
What a great kiddo you are! Here. Drink some of this, (Captain)!
It's fine, it's fine! Just grape juice!
Now then... Three cheers to the holiday season, (Captain)!

Happy holidays! Let's get this festive party started! Drink until you get into the spirit!
Gulp, gulp, gulp...
Aaah!
Huh? Is that Santa? Good work, old man! How about a drink?
Waaait a minute... You're not Santa; you're (Captain)!
Sorry... You're in that costume, so I couldn't tell.
Wha? Even if you were Santa, I shouldn't give him the sauce?
Uh... You gotta point, (Captain). If Santa went around smelling like liquor, it might hit a little too close to home for some people.
Okay, okay. I've seen the error of my ways. Here, I'll give you some of this funky cheese as an apology.
After you hand out all the presents, come back with some juice so we can say cheers together!

...
Hm? Where'd er'body go?
Hey, (Captain)... What's the dillio?
What! The party's over?
...
I-I remember what happened! Everybody was having a good time!
We were all together... And toasted...
And then...
And then...
Um...
W-whatever! (Captain), let's get our drink on again!
It'll be part two of whatever happened last night!

Lancelot (Event)

Is it visiting hours already?
Oh... It's that time of year again, huh? Heh... I suppose people everywhere are celebrating the season.
When I was a kid, I never imagined spending the holidays like this...
I wonder if Santa will pay me a visit here... I hope he will. It'd surely be nice...

Slipping inside secure places on a winter's night...
And leaving gifts for children in their stockings, only to slip out again without a trace...
Yeah... That's jolly Old Saint Nick.
When you think about it... isn't Santa Claus the ultimate escape artist?
Tonight I'll be a Santa. I planned my escape route just for this day. Yes... I'll use the chimney!
And then... I'll bring you a special gift... The gift of reunion. Just wait for me...

Zzz... Zzz...
(Captain) visits the underground dungeon where Lancelot is being held to find the young knight fast asleep, his head resting on a burlap pillow.
(Captain) moves closer to call out his name and wake him, but thinks twice after seeing the peaceful expression on his sleeping face.
(Captain) softly whispers happy holidays before carefully placing a small bundle tied with bright red ribbon next to his pillow.
Mm... No, no... It's jingle all the way... Listen...
With his eyes still closed, Lancelot mumbles as a warm smile begins to spread across his lips.
While wondering what sort of dream could make Lancelot so happy, (Captain) quietly slips out of the dungeon.

(Captain) hears the beautiful sound of a bell on the deck of the ship and heads to its source.
There (Captain) spots someone familiar. And the source of the sound is not a bell, but the rhythmically timed sound of chains clanging together.
Jingle bells! Jingle bells! Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh! Hey!
(Captain). Happy holidays! How are you?
Why the face? Oh, you think it's odd I'm on the bow of the ship?
What about the dungeon? Well actually my body is still there. This is me in spirit. Like some sort of miracle.
Lancelot comes down from the bow and takes (Captain)'s hand.
I've never felt so alive. I feel almost possessed.
Heh heh! Let's enjoy this wonderful night!

Lancelot and Vane (Summer)

Vane: Lancey, could you help me out? If you could get that food over there and put it on a plate that would be great.
Lancelot: On it. There isn't much space here, so I'm going to move the food over there.
This looks amazing... Maybe I'll take one small sample...
Nom!
...
(Captain)! You caught me red-handed!
What? I could bribe you with one of these? All right...
Vane: Hey! Stop that, (Captain)! You know the rules!
Lancey! Don't tell me you're an accomplice! I can tell you ate some too!
Lancelot: Sorry, Vane! They just looked so good...
Vane: I'm glad you like the way they look, but you need to wait! You know I made other stuff too, right?
Lancelot: Right... (Captain), could you go wait somewhere far away from the food?

Vane: Seeing kids waiting excitedly for Santa Claus sure brings back memories!
Lancelot: We were like that once... Remember that time I stayed over at your place?
Vane: Yeah! We dumped all this candy on our bed and ate them while waiting for Santa.
Lancelot: What's that, (Captain)? Did we get to see Santa?
Well, Vane's grandmother came and told us to hurry up and go to bed. Then she tucked us in...
Vane: And the bed was so warm that both Lancey and I fell right asleep. We were so upset the next morning!
Lancelot: Yeah, we were both so sleepy, we couldn't help it... Guess we really were just kids back then.
Vane: Hey, do you have any holiday memories to share, (Captain)?
Lancelot: Oh, I want to hear them too! Do tell!

Vane: Whoa... It was coming down pretty hard last night, but I wasn't expecting this!
(Captain), we better clear out this snow before the party—
Whoap! It's freezing!
Lancelot: Heh. Your back was wide open, Vane.
Vane: Oh, Lancey... We're not here for a snowball fight.
Lancelot: Sorry. But the snow looked so white and soft, I couldn't resist. I'll start shoveling—
Ah! That one was you, wasn't it, (Captain)?
Vane: (Captain), where'd you get an armful of snowballs? I didn't even see you make one!
Lancelot: Haha. It looks like our captain means business. What do you say to a free-for-all?
Vane: All right, fine. But just for a little. And afterwards, we're shoveling up this snow!

Lancelot: That covers everything on the shopping list. (Captain), Vane, shall we return to the party venue?
Vane: Walking the streets on a night like this sure gets me hyped up! I mean, just look at all the shiny lights everywhere!
Whoa! Get a load of that shop! It's as bright as the chandelier in the castle!
Lancelot: No kidding! The decorations are getting fancier every year.
Vane: Heheh, I've got an idea! Can you guys drop by the kitchen later?
Lancelot: Sure, what do you have in mind?
Vane: Let's not spoil the surprise just yet!
A bit of oil mixed with coagulant poured into the cup, with a candle wick in place... All that's left is to wait till it hardens!
Lancelot: You're making candles from leftover cooking oil? This will certainly liven up the venue tonight!
Vane: We had some leftover food containers from all the sweets we bought. Thought we might as well make use of 'em!
We've got plenty more oil and paint too!
Let's fill the venue with these candles like we're filling the skies with stars! It'll be our holiday present to everyone!
Lancelot: Oh yeah, sounds good to me! Let's do it, (Captain)!

Lecia (Summer)

There's something so romantic about a snow-filled sky.
I hope I can enjoy it with someone special someday...

Do you remember what we did on this same night, one year ago?
I told you I wanted to look out at the snowy sky with someone special.
To tell you the truth, I... I think that may be within reach...
After all, I'm here with you, (Captain).
And with so many precious friends here with me, spending tonight with someone special might not just be a fantasy after all.

Ah, (Captain), there you are.
The holiday party was fun, wasn't it? Everyone really let their hair down.
It's late, we better be heading back. The streets have gotten pretty quiet.
Hehe. I'm glad I could spend the holidays with you this year as well.
I can't tell you how happy I am right now.

Phew... This ought to be far enough from the party...
Sorry to drag you away from the festivities, (Captain).
I won't keep you too long, or else everyone'll worry.
I just wanted to borrow you to look at the stars with me for a little while. If possible, I'd like to do this together every year...
I feel like the more time I spend with you, the greedier I get.
But I find myself wondering... if that's such a bad thing. Weird, huh?

Leona (Yukata)

Oof!
I'm so sorry, (Captain)! I didn't hurt you, did I?
Sigh... I'm always telling people not to run in the hallways and then I go and ignore my own warnings.
Sorry I was in such a hurry, but preparations for the military's winter holiday are underway.
By the way, do you have time later, (Captain)?
I finally have the chance to show you around Luxurios while it's geared up for the holidays.
And maybe you could kind of help me with a little bit of shopping... Or not...
Huh? You will?
Great! Thank you! Why don't we go right now? Come on, follow me!

Haha... Everyone's really in the spirit...
(Captain), are you enjoying the festivities as well?
What's this, you ask? I thought I would sneak into Cain's room and place it next to his pillow.
Haha... Even though he always asks me to stop treating him like a child.
Actually... I have one for you too, (Captain)!
You can't open it yet. You'll have to wait until tomorrow morning.
Hehe. I'll sneak the present into your room a bit later.

...
Eek!
Oh, it's you, (Captain)... What a surprise...
Sorry, I must've startled you just as well.
I just got back from putting a present by Cain's bedside.
And was actually just about to go to your room...
Ahaha... But you caught me before I could do that.
I guess I'll just have to give it to you in person this year! Here it is! Happy holidays!

???: Hehe, this should this put a smile on the captain's face. Here's hoping...
Leona: Huh? Ah, (Captain)!
Sorry to surprise you like this. It's me, Leona.
I thought I'd leave a holiday present by your bedside...
I didn't mean to wake you. I'm so sorry.
H-hey, can you just pretend this is all just a dream! Yeah, you didn't see me here at all!
You can go back to sleep. I'll be on my way now...
Oh, just one more thing!
Happy holidays. And have a wonderful dream... Teehee.

Leona

Oof!
I'm so sorry, (Captain)! I didn't hurt you, did I?
Sigh... I'm always telling people not to run in the hallways and then I go and ignore my own warnings.
Sorry I was in such a hurry, but preparations for the military's winter holiday are underway.
By the way, do you have time later, (Captain)?
I finally have the chance to show you around Luxurios while it's geared up for the holidays.
And maybe you could kind of help me with a little bit of shopping... Or not...
Huh? You will?
Great! Thank you! Why don't we go right now? Come on, follow me!

Haha... Everyone's really in the spirit...
(Captain), are you enjoying the festivities as well?
What's this, you ask? I thought I would sneak into Cain's room and place it next to his pillow.
Haha... Even though he always asks me to stop treating him like a child.
Actually... I have one for you too, (Captain)!
You can't open it yet. You'll have to wait until tomorrow morning.
Hehe. I'll sneak the present into your room a bit later.

...
Eek!
Oh, it's you, (Captain)... What a surprise...
Sorry, I must've startled you just as well.
I just got back from putting a present by Cain's bedside.
And was actually just about to go to your room...
Ahaha... But you caught me before I could do that.
I guess I'll just have to give it to you in person this year! Here it is! Happy holidays!

???: Hehe, this should this put a smile on the captain's face. Here's hoping...
Leona: Huh? Ah, (Captain)!
Sorry to surprise you like this. It's me, Leona.
I thought I'd leave a holiday present by your bedside...
I didn't mean to wake you. I'm so sorry.
H-hey, can you just pretend this is all just a dream! Yeah, you didn't see me here at all!
You can go back to sleep. I'll be on my way now...
Oh, just one more thing!
Happy holidays. And have a wonderful dream... Teehee.

Lilele (Summer)

Happy holidays!
I got a present for you! Go ahead! Open it, open it!
Huh? There's nothing inside?
Huhhh? There's so much in there! Why can't you see any of it?
See? It's filled with my feelings! To show the gratitude I have for you every day, I'm gonna sing you a special song...
It's called Don't Forget Santa...

Happy, happy holidays!
It's that special, sacred night again!
Tonight it's just you, me, and this stage!
I'll sing for you. Now and forevermore.
Even if everything else fades away, I hope this song stays with you.
I call it Goodnight, Silent Bell.

Happy, happy holidays, (Captain)!
It's that Lilele season again!
Lilele on the stage! Holiday special live!
Get ready! I'll sing for you, now and forever!
Snowflakes fade, and our time together may end, but the memories of you will always be in my heart.
I'll never forget you... And now Snow White Memories!

I'm baaack!
Phew... The holiday concert went off without a hitch.
I'm glad the fans were enjoying themselves too.
But now it's all about spending tonight with you, (Captain)!
Nope, I'm not tired at all! I'm still bursting with energy. This holiday evening is just getting started!
You get the privilege of hearing an exclusive private performance, starting with...
A song I call Powder Snow Glitter Glow.

Lily (Event)

Ahaha! You're on! You said cookies, so I'll go with gingerbread!
Ooh, ooh! You know what goes best with gingerbread? Lily does! That's right! Me!
You're wondering why? Because I love gingerbread! And I'm sure gingerbread loves me back!
It's mutual affection! Ahh, I could really go for an extra large gingerbread cookie right now!

(Captain), the townspeople praised me!
I went around and found houses that didn't have trees. Then I made them some out of ice!
After that lots of people started asking me to come to their house to make them one too!
I did so much good today! Praise me, praise me! Pleeease!

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
I was just helping out with preparations for the celebration!
I put lots of decorations on the holiday cake and tree!
It'll be so much fun because of all my hard work!
My final task is to lead you to the venue!
So, (Captain)... Grab my hand, and I'll take you to the party!

Are you feeling stiff in the shoulders, (Captain)? How about I give you a nice massage to loosen up!
There? Feel better? I can massage your back too!
Ehehe, aren't I the best girl? I helped out so much to get the party ready too!
Do you think Santa's going to come later? I'm hoping to wake up and find the holiday stockings in my room to be filled with presents galore!
(Captain) hides the present prepared for Lily, opting instead to fiddle with the stockings that night.

Lina

Chomp chomp. Nom nom. Mmm, thanks for the grub! This is pretty good!
Hey! Hands off my chicken, Gourry! What the? You too, Lyria!
Aaah! Great. Now it's gone.
Hahaha. Now you've made me mad! You're gonna get it!
Not now, (Captain)! (Nom nom.)
I'm busy here! (Chomp chomp.)
Whatever it is, it's gonna have to wait!

Lowain (Event)

Lowain: Hey, nice timing, Captain! We could totally use your input on something!
Elsam: We've been discussing this forever and finally nailed it down—Operation Holiday Confession!
Tomoi: First, we come down with some sorta lung infection. Then Kat comes in and...
Lowain: What's that, Captain? The holidays are almost over?
Elsam: Aww, gosh... Dude, we spent way too much time mulling over the details...
Tomoi: So how about this Operation Holiday Confession?
All Three: Back to the drawing board!

Tomoi: Bwahaha! Yo, (Captain), you gotta hear this! Lowain actually believed in San—
Lowain: Shut it! Who doesn't believe in Santa when they're a kid?
Elsam: Nah, that fairy tale's for toddlers. 'Sides, who seriously rides on a sleigh? It's all about the carriages.
Tomoi: Gahaha, so horses are where it's at, huh? Whew, never woulda known if we didn't ask though. Who woulda guessed Lowain believed in something so whack.
Lowain: Heh, shoulda kept to myself about it.
Elsam: Hahah... Really got me wonderin' about Santa's ride though...
Tomoi: Ahaha...
Huh? Hold it, Sammy...
Elsam: Could it be magic? Maybe Santa's this world-class sorcerer or sumthin...
Lowain: Sigh... Hey, Tommy...
Tomoi: Oh snap, don't tell me you've fallen off the wagon too, Sammy...
Elsam: So what are you asking for this year, (Captain)? I asked for a ginormous spoon!

Elsam: ...
Yo, (Captain)! Can we rap for a bit?
It's killer cold today. That's why I wanna brew a hot soup that'll keep the Santa train chuggin' all night.
But who knows when he's gonna show up. So I was gonna find a big ol' heating stone in case I need to get a cold soup boilin' again...
Lowain: Basically it's up to us to dip into Sammy's soup of the day.
Tomoi: Don't want him wakin' up in the morning and gettin' butthurt over leftover soup.
Lowain: Thanks for being an extra mouth, (Captain). Sammy went into overdrive and filled this huge pot to the top.
Tomoi: Whoa, what? Yo! Pot's dry as a bone!
Lowain: Huh? That ain't right, man... Did some other crewmates polish it off?
Tomoi: Nah, don't think so. Check this out. A tube of hair gel with a card that says "Thank You."
Lowain: And it's that limited edition stuff Sammy wanted that no one can get anymore...
Lowain & Tomoi: ...
The Lowain bros exchange baffled looks. They have no idea how to explain what occurred while everyone was sound asleep.
Eventually they shrug it off and go off to do other things. With today being a day of gift-giving and mirth, there's no time to waste on piffling mysteries.

Lowain: ...
Tomoi: Say, Lowain. Do we got more food on the table than we did last year?
Lowain: Huh? Yeah... I guess. Just to be safe. Might be one more guest than we planned for. Happens.
Tomoi: Right... Sure. Never know who might turn up, huh?
Elsam: Wait. Lowain, are you puttin' out goodies for Santa too?
Lowain: N-no way, nuh-uh, nohow! You're the only one Santa's gonna visit around here, Sammy!
Tomoi: Pffft. Hahaha! You said it. You an' me just ain't pure enough, bro!
Lowain: ...
Lowain sets the extra meal in the cupboard. That evening, when he opens the cupboard, there is a surprise waiting for him.
Someone scarfed it... And Sammy's the only one who knew that food was here.
Tomoi: No way would Sammy eat something you said was for Santa.
Lowain: So you sayin' Santa's for real?
Tomoi: Beats me, bro.
Tomoi and Lowain stare in silence at the canister of rare spice and the glasses cleaning cloth left neatly beside the empty plate.

Lucius (Fire)

The winter holiday... I used to spend it with Teena and my mother back home.
Never mind... Forget what I said.

It was on a night like this when Teena got angry at me.
Even though it was a holiday, all I did was spend it swinging my sword.
I was just practicing in order to become stronger for the sake of protecting everyone.
Heh. I guess that's why I'm always the odd one out.

What is it, (Captain)? What do you have there in your hands?
Huh? Letters from all the children aboard the Grandcypher?
Ah, of course... Letters addressed to Santa Claus.
("A teddy bear." Heh... There was a time when Teena wanted the same thing.)
("A picture of Leviathan." That's one macho kid.)
("A world where I don't have to eat veggies.")
Lucius instinctively checks to see who this letter is from.
Heh... You and me, both. Looks like we'll get along just fine.
(Captain) looks at Lucius quizzically, but Lucius simply flashes his captain a knowing smile.

Another holy night arrives...
Mm, I was just revisiting a past memory.
A memory of when a much younger Teena begged Santa Claus to bring her a teddy bear.
I worked my fingers to the bone in making one for her as a present.
It came out ugly as sin, but she loved it all the same.
I'll never forget the smile on her face. That was the best gift I could ever receive.
Heh. And here I am rambling on about such an embarrassing reflection. I ask that you keep this between the two of us.

Ludmila

Hehehe! (Captain)! Wh-why are you awake right now?
I was just... Hahaha...
Haha! Don't look at me—hehe—with such suspicious eyes! Haha!
Heh. I thought I would pull a Santa—haha—to thank you for everything! Haha!
After all it's the season to be giving. And we all know Santa brings good little crew members presents! Haha!
Hehehe! But you've already caught me! Haha!
Hehehe! Oh! What if you joined me tonight? Haha!
We could bring presents to the rest of the crew! Hahaha!
We'll be just like the real Santa! Haha! How about it?

Hehe... (Captain)!
Ahaha! What? Where am I going with my gun?
Hehehe... You know where! Bwahaha! It's the holy night.
Which can only mean... Haha! I'm going turkey hunting! Gyuh!
You know we can't do without a turkey! Bwahaha!
Hehehe... Leave it to me. I may not look it, but I'm a good hunter!
Hehe! (Captain), here I go!
Hahaha! I'ma catch a big one! You just wait! Bwahaha!

Hehehe, you came at a good time, (Captain)! Haha!
Heh, why don't you take a bite of this? Hahaha!
I made a special mushroom stew for this special, holy night.
Hehe, I did a pretty good job, but nobody wanted to give it a try! Ahaha!
Relax... Heh, i-it's mostly made of mushrooms I bought at the store! Bwahaha!
Hehehehe... Huh? Yeah, I said, "mostly." The rest I found, hehe.
Ahaha! It's fine. I tried them all, so they're not poisonous!
Hehehe, don't you trust me?

Heeheehee! (Captain), heh, mind hearing me out for a sec?
Mwahaha, truth is, I asked Santa Claus to bring me a new species of mushroom this year. Hehehe, hahaha!
Pfft, haha, Santa's a special guy, right? He might get something out of this world! Tee-hee!
I can't wait to see what he totes over... Gaha, ahahaha!
Wahaha! Ahhh, bwahaha! I can't... stop laughing! Haha!
Hyaha, hehe, haha! I can't! Bwaha! Ahahaha!
Hee, hahaha, hoo! Hahaha! Hyahhh... Cough!
Phew... Need to get my laughter under control before Santa gets here... Hehe... Hee...

Lyria (Event)

Happy holidays!
Wow, the tree is so shiny! It's beautiful!

Say... do you think I've been really good this whole year?
I wonder if Santa will come by and visit us again...
Ooh... I'm so anxious tonight, I don't think I'll get a wink of sleep!

(Captain), happy holidays!
I wonder if it will snow. I would love that so much.
Oh, but wait! If it snowed, then Santa would have such a tough time...
Hmm... I know!
How about we prepare something that will warm Santa up?

This needs... pepper, salt, and butter... and then...
Gasp! (Captain)! Are you here to buy some things too?
Actually, I'm out collecting the things we need to prepare the meal for tonight!
I'd like to try my hand at a full-course meal...
It's almost like preparing a small little festival for everyone to enjoy. I'm very excited.
Since it's so cold out, I'm thinking of making something very warm for Santa Claus!
I'll put my everything into making the best meal I can! You just sit back and enjoy, (Captain)!

Mahira (Event)

Hmm... Oh, (Captain). You came to eat cake too?
Okay, wait just a minute. I'm currently calculating the number of cuts required to give all members of the crew equal pieces.
I came pretty close just now, but I forgot to account for a 0.5 unit margin of error.
Hmm... First I'll have to recalculate some of the variables...

Hmmm...
Can I talk to you about something that I think about every year?
You know that a turkey lays an egg, right?
Well, how was the first turkey born to lay the first egg?
I guess the bigger question is... did the turkey come first or did the egg?

Let's see... If the weight of the third tier on the right side's... Then the symmetry of the star on top would have to be...
Hrm...
Ah, (Captain). Isn't this such a beautiful night?
I was measuring decorations for the holiday tree.
In order to make the tree as fancy as possible while keeping it balanced, we'd have to...
But wait, I really want to use a big, flashy star on top too...
Mm...

Oh, (Captain). There you are. Could you spare a minute?
Take a look at this sheet. I'd like you to rank the dishes in order, starting from what you want to eat most.
You see, the cooks asked me to help decide on a menu for today's feast.
So I wanted to gather some statistics on the crew's food preferences, then work out which dishes everyone would enjoy most.
Of course, to produce reliable results, we need as large a sample size as possible...
And I was wondering if you could help me with the data collection, (Captain).
Really? Okay, here's half of the surveys to pass out then.
I really appreciate it.

Malinda (Event)

Malinda: Gyoo! Gyoo gyoo gyoo!
Vania: Malinda wished you a happy holiday! I think you understood it too!
Malinda: Gyoo! Gyooyoo... grurgh...
Vania: Hmm... I don't know what she's saying now...
Malinda: Grurgh...
Vania: Maybe she's hungry?
Then let's have some cake! Come on, Bloodkin, cut us a slice!

Malinda: Gyoo!
Vania: Wah! Why do you have such huge bag, Malinda?
Malinda: Gyoo... Gyoo, gyoo.
Vania: Ahaha! You want to play Santa Claus! Okay, count me in!
We didn't forget about you either, Bloodkin. Come help me with the presents! Heeheehee!

Malinda: Gyoo, gyooo!
Vania: Heeheehee! Malinda and I were the bestest girls this year, (Captain)!
Malinda: Gyoo gyoo gyooo!
Vania: Oh yeah! You want some too, don't you, Malinda? Hey, Bloodkin!
We need presents! Preseeeents!
Deliver a mountain of them at our feet! Heeheehee.
Malinda: Gyooo!

Malinda: Gyoo!
Vania: Yay! Malinda makes for the best Santa! Which present's mine, Malinda?
Malinda: Gyoo! Gyooo!
Vania: Aw, you don't have one for me? That's not nice!
Malinda: Gyauu!
Vania: Ah, so those presents are for all the children in town?
Ahaha, sounds like a busy year for you! Getting all the way to town won't be easy! Good on you, Malinda!
Malinda: Gyoo!
Vania: Ahaha! Let's get going then! You too, Bloodkin!

Mariah

Season's greetings, (Captain)!
Let's celebrate by getting stuffed on roasted chicken and pie! Yum!

Hey, (Captain)! Shhh!
Take a look at this spread!
All the crew members with culinary skills came out to shine for tonight's dinner!
How can you not pig out when it's right in front of you? All this tension is bad for the body.
The only cure is to snatch a few secret bites, but they've put up a strong defense...
All right, that's it. You and I are going in. Time to form a strategy!

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
I was about to head into the woods to do some chopping.
No, not for firewood. I'm getting us a tree for the big day.
Hm, but now that I think about it, I probably can't carry it alone.
I guess I didn't think it all the way through...
I was so focused on getting a huge tree so I could see the smiles of all the kids in the crew that I—
Oh, you'll help me lug it back? Thanks, (Captain)! You're a lifesaver!
What, are you accusing me of wanting to rope you in from the beginning?
No way. I totally didn't plot anything... Hahaha...

Oh, (Captain). Happy holidays!
Thanks for helping me carry the tree again this year!
We bagged ourselves an even bigger one than before! The kids will love this.
Huh? How are we going to decorate this?
Ahaha! It's obvious. We're going to climb the tree! We'll make it so it doesn't wobble. No worries.
I'm good at climbing. You just watch. I'll be at the top in a flash!
I have an idea. Let's see which one of us can get to the top first, okay? We'll decorate after that!

Mary (SR)

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!

Meg (Event)

Wow, look at all the pretty illuminations in town!
What a special night this is. Wouldn't you say so, (Captain)?
It was always incredibly busy at the cafe back home around this time of year, so I could never really enjoy the festivities.
Not like I had anyone to enjoy the festivities with anyway. Ahaha...
Hey, (Captain). When we're walking together, doesn't it feel like...
Like we're a couple?
Pfft! Sorry about that! Lost myself for a second...
I was trying to make you laugh with a joke, but I guess it backfired!
I'm serious though when I say that I'm having a lot of fun just walking around with you, (Captain).

Hey (Captain), do you believe in Santa Claus?
I do. I got a present from him when I was little, you know.
If you could wish for anything right now, what would you wish for? Lemme guess—peace for everyone in the crew?
As for me, hmm... I don't know. Maybe nothing in particular.
What, were you expecting me to say "peace in Auguste" or something? It's true that I do wish for that, but...
I want to protect the things important to me myself!
But I guess it'd be a waste if I didn't wish for anything when I could.
I know! I'll wish for Mari's happiness!
Oh, and yours too, of course!

Oh, (Captain)... Happy holidays...
Huh? I look kind of down? Yeah, I guess you could say something happened... Will you hear me out?
I just got a letter from Mari. I'll read a bit of it out.
"Dear Meg. It's almost the holy night, and the illuminations are just crazy here."
"It's literally the best. Why don't you come over for a visit?"
"Come to Auguste and let's spend a nice and cozy winterguste together."
The letter ended up arriving late and I just saw this... It's already the holy night.
Ahh, this isn't fair! I bet a winterguste with Mari would've been super nice!
I wanted to see the illuminations and eat some delicious seafood!
...
What do you think a "winterguste" is anyway?

Ursula: ...
Alerted to a presence, (Captain) awakens in the middle of the night.
Ursula: Sharrrk!
Meg: Aw, we goofed. you were supposed to stay nice and quiet...
Sorry, (Captain)! I asked Ursula to place my holiday present to you by your pillow...
She was convinced she could do it without waking you, but ah well...
Really sorry! You can go back to bed now!
I'll leave the present here! You can check it out in the morning!
Good night!
Ursula: Sharrrk!

Meteon (Event)

I haven't had a chance to celebrate the holidays these past few years. The PSC's always been right around the corner.
And I'm usually spending all my time in the pit stall tuning my machine. Good luck doing anything festive in there.
It's really bustling here though. I'm worried about losing focus, but you have to relax from time to time.

All right, just tighten this bolt here... that should do it.
Oh! What's up, (Captain)? Sorry, I was just performing some maintenance on the Blue Orbit.
Ah, today's the holiday, huh? Totally slipped my mind.
Okay, then! Should we head out?
It'll be nice to take a break outside tonight, especially with you, (Captain).

Ah, there you are, (Captain)!
I was looking all over for you. Any chance you're free right now? We should head out!
Hm, a speedship? Nah, that'd be overkill. I'm talking about a good ol' walk.
C'mon, it's fun to just hang out around town once in a while.
I mean, today is the holy eve after all...

Hm. This should be everything we were asked to buy, right?
Hey, what's that look for? Don't sweat it. I was already done with maintenance so it's not like I had anything else to do.
We should head back now though.
Huh? What's that?
They're setting up food stalls? I guess we did hear that shop owner saying something about that.
All right, let's go check it out then!
No one said we couldn't take a detour.
Besides, there's nothing like a bit of food for some holiday cheer.

Milleore

It's been a while since I've gone out celebrating for the holidays.
I'm usually working around this time of year. Plenty of money to be made!
Oh, I almost forgot! I have this for you. It's nothing really. Just a little something.

The city sure is lively. Everyone looks so happy out there.
I look happy too? You might be right.
Huh? Is that really so surprising?
I've had a few happy moments as of late, you know.
Spending so much time on the ship is probably responsible. Nothing wrong with that.

There you are. Right on time.
I know. You're here to invite me to the holiday party, aren't you?
Thinking about it, this is the third time I've spent the holidays with you, isn't it?
All right. I'll go to the party with you. I kind of like spending this time of the year with you.
What? Don't get used to it, I'm not always in this mood.

(Captain), the holiday party is about to begin.
Is it strange for me to be the one telling you? I'm sure you were planning to invite me anyway.
I wasn't looking forward to it, particularly. Predicting what your client will want is part of a hired hand's bag of tricks.
This year's cake? I'm not especially looking forward to that either. I simply need to understand the power of the people I'm dealing with.
Why are you smiling? We need to get to the party right away.

Mimlemel and Pun-Kin (Halloween)

Mimlemel: Hm? What's this? Something happen during my nap?
Pun-Kin: Wow, wow, wowie, wow! Look at the snowy-white snow covering the ground! Isn't it beautiful, Princess?
About time we got back though... Uh-oh, the wheel tracks are all covered up by the snow now... Which way do we go again?

Pun-Kin: Princess! That mysterious old man they call Santa is in town!
I wonder where he is? I've looked all over, but I can't find him anywhere!
Mimlemel: Nnh? What are you doing outside? And I was having such a good nap after my snack too.

Mimlemel: There's leftover food. Let's take it back to my room.
Pun-Kin: Aww, Princess! Don't you know I might just gobble up whatever yummy food you chuck into my mouth?
Mm, that smells so good... I bet she won't notice if it's just a bit of chicken leg... Chomp...

Mimlemel: A winter feast? I'm trying to catch Santa. This is bad timing.
I guess I could secure the cake, then head out to capture Santa.
Pun-Kin: Leave it to me, Princess! Time to make good use of the transportation tricks Stumpeye's taught me and protect the cake!
I'll keep things steady so the cake doesn't fall over... Oh, and I'll try not to eat it...
Mmm, just imagining the cake's making me drool! Princess, hurry and find Santa before I give in to the temptation!

Mimlemel and Stumpeye

Mimlemel: Blah...
Stumpeye: Sorry. As you can see, she's sleeping like a log. We should let her sleep in today.

Mimlemel: Winter feast? Don't want it. Appetite's gone. Unless there's Mont Blanc...
Stumpeye: You poor thing. One Mont Blanc coming right up! These wheels spin quadruple time!

Mimlemel: Blah... No motivation to do anything...
If I don't get to see Santa, I'll wither and die...
Stumpeye: Hang in there, Mim! One Santa comin' up! I'll track him down for ya!
(Captain)! Where do I find this Santa chap? I need to know how to nab 'im!

Mimlemel: Where's Santa...
Stumpeye: What bollocks... How is it we've been lookin' fer a year now, and there's still no word of the fella...
C'mon, Captain! You've gotta help us out!
I wanna present Mim wit' Santa in the flesh!

Mimlemel

Happy holidays.
Gimme something.

Happy day.
I want stump cake.
Give it to me.
Tootle-too!

Not sleeping tonight. I'll see if you're real, Santa.
Then I'll hunt you down.

Happy holidays.
Now get over here and sit.
There's a trap in the street. Tonight we hunt Santa together.

Mina

Very good. None of the crew members are doing anything particularly irresponsible.
Hmm? Oh, it's you, (Captain). I was just going around making sure the crew is staying in line.
Enemies could attack us at any time. We have to be ready and at our best, even during times of celebration.
I suppose I think that way because it's my job to support you. People like me never have a day off.
I sure hope you'll come running if something happens, but until that time comes, relax and have a good holiday season.

Mona and Mena... This is what you had in mind the whole time, isn't it? How am I supposed to let anyone see me like—
...!
(Captain)?
Th-this isn't what it looks like! My sisters made me wear this!
I didn't hear that this outfit would be quite so... festive, so I...
W-well, but anyway, (Captain)!
Please take this if you would. It's a holiday present from me.
All right. Now that you've got it, well, I suddenly remembered an urgent errand.
I'm not running off because I want to change into another outfit as soon as I can, or because this one's embarrassing. Definitely not!
(Captain), see you in a bit! H-happy holidays!

Phew... We should have everything we need after that last little supply run.
I'm sorry, (Captain). You were having so much fun at the holiday party when I made you tag along with me.
Y-you're wondering why I'm not wearing a dress like last year?
My face is going to turn as red as a beet if I start thinking about that again...
You might not know, but since I only wore that dress once, Mona and Mena gave me a new one...
N-no! I returned it right away of course! Experiencing that once was more than enough!
The most important part of the holiday is that you spend it with friends and family. What you wear doesn't really matter.
As long as the people you really care for are there by your side, you don't need to dress flashy or—
W-what am I even saying now!
It seems like the holiday spirit has gotten the better of me. Just disregard that silly little comment of mine.
All right, let's head back to the ship. The whole crew's waiting for you, (Captain).

I apologize for making you come shop with me again, (Captain).
Yeah, there's something that I must buy. I plan on stopping by another two or three shops.
But walking through these illuminated streets makes my heart flutter.
Romantic, isn't it? Walking through the streets with someone important to you?
What am I saying?
I... I was just daydreaming! Don't get the wrong impression!
I didn't invite you out for shopping because I wanted to spend the holiday with you or anything!

Mirin (Light)

This is the cake I've been hearing about! It's so pretty!
But when it comes to sweets, looks aren't everything. I won't be fooled by its appearance!
Let's eat!
Gozaru! This is just as delicious as anmitsu! Other countries are great at desserts!

Thanks a bunch for inviting me to the seasonal party!
I was just thinking that it'd be nice to study how best to act during such an event!
It'll expand my horizons and deepen my knowledge of foreign cultures.
By the way will that exotic sweet everyone knows as cake be available?
Oh, I definitely don't have any ulterior motives...
Ahaha... Okay, I'll confess.
Truth is, I just want cake!

It's freezing tonight. And there are so many clouds...
Oh! Look, look! It's snowing!
Amazing... I'd always heard about snowy evenings—how breathtaking they are, but...
This really is something special, isn't it?
Um, by the way, shouldn't we get going? To the party, I mean. I'm looking forward to the cake.
Ahaha... You're right. I really do care more about cake than snow!
Reminds me of a saying we have back home. Hana yori dango.

Whew... Buying things for the party is a tougher job than I thought...
There's so many interesting dishes available during the winter season that my eyes can hardly keep up.
Not to mention, every year, we're getting more and more varieties of food and desserts at our crew's party.
Ahaha... Talking about food sure makes you hungry.
Actually, I'm really looking forward to the Valtz roast chicken the main cook for tonight was talking about...
Gozaru! You have your eyes on the chicken too, (Captain)? Well, you can't have it all, okay? Let's split it!
Hehe. We can cut it in half and share it! Aah, I can't wait... But first, we need to bring back these ingredients!
Come on, (Captain)! A delicious feast's waiting for us, so let's do our best to help too!

Mishra

This holiday night is one full of memories.
It reminds me of a beloved child I once nurtured...
On this day only, that child could finally be happy, as if the pain and suffering had never existed.
As if they had never contracted that loathsome disease. Those joyful memories will always stay me.
So many memories come flooding back tonight. Hehe, what a wonderful time of the year.

The holy night... It really has meaning for me.
I've told you once of a beloved child, do you remember?
Only on this night, which overflows with spiritual energy, was the child's curse lifted. This was the only night when acting like every other child was allowed.
My heart aches every time I recall...
The memories we made will last me a lifetime...
Hehehe... Oh what a life I have lived...

The holy night is one of many wonders...
To the untrained eye, it appears to be nothing more than a normal day's end. But there is so much power...
I used to wish this power would last all year long.
Hehe... To save my beloved child I was so willing to hope for miracles.
But to do what must be done, I must rely only on my own strength.
I hope one day this night, will be one just like any other for my beloved and I...
I hope one day this silly idea will come to fruition.

Ah, I've found you, (Captain).
Please, kindly accept this medicine. I've been passing it out to all of the members of the crew.
No, it's not a strange medicine. It will help ease your digestive system, given the heaviness of tonight's banquet.
Take it before to prevent bloating; take it after to ease indigestion. It's the perfect remedy for anything that ails your stomach.
Now, I'll be taking this medicine to Zehek as well.
I believe he's fast asleep in his room. He went straight to bed without eating. One wonders if he isn't depressed.
In the event he's lost his appetite, this medicine should allow him to enjoy a slice of cake at least.
Would you grab a few dishes and follow me?
I want him to experience the warmth of the seasons, if only for a little while.

Morphe and Phoebe (Event)

Phoebe: Santa Claus is a lie! He doesn't give presents to all the children of the world.
Morphe: Really? Aw, and I was looking forward to it!
Phoebe: Well... I've never gotten any presents before.
Morphe: Huh? But you've never looked like a kid before now! Santa Claus only gives presents to children!
When you're in primal beast form, you look like an adult! That's why Santa skipped you!
Phoebe: Gasp!

Phoebe: (Captain), open up wide.
Yup, these are from the other crew members. They say you eat cookies in the shape of humans for the holy night and the new year.
Morphe: They say the cookie collects all the evil energy.
Phoebe: But why would anyone eat something that's absorbed evil energy? The cookie must feel so abused...
Morphe: Hmm... If I were a cookie, I guess I'd be happy if someone just loved eating me, right?
Phoebe: Hehe... I hope the cookie is happy. What if it's not? What do you think, (Captain)?
Morphe: Ugh! Sis! Why you gotta go and say that before the captain is even done eating?
Phoebe: Hehe... If the cookie comes for you in your dreams... then I'll protect you.

Phoebe: (Captain), (Captain)... Why don't we go to bed soon?
Morphe: Santa Claus is supposed to come visit while we're asleep!
Winter comes at different times for each island, but still... Touring through an entire island in a single night can't be easy.
Phoebe: Which means us hitting the hay early makes it that much easier for Santa.
Morphe: I got fluffy bed blankets and pillows ready to help us fall fast asleep!
Phoebe: So let's go to bed, (Captain).
I'll read you a storybook and sing you a lullaby or two to help you enter a deep sleep.
... Or would you rather we share my bed? I think it'd be a lot more comfortable that way...
Morphe: Isn't your bed a bit small for two? I'm not sure how that'd be comfy...
Phoebe: ...
Morphe: Yeowch! What's the big idea, Sis? Can you stop with the pinching already?

Phoebe: How would you like a cookie? It's sweet with just a little bit of a zing to it. One bite will chase evil spirits and bad luck away!
Morphe: This year, we helped Ladiva make her special "out with the old" cookies!
After they cooled, we piped on faces and clothes with royal icing!
Phoebe: Please try one, (Captain). Which would you like? I recommend this one with the big smile.
Morphe: Hehe. You should chomp into it with gusto to help blow those evil spirits away!
Phoebe: Hee hee. Eat me, (Captain)! I'm so yummy! Quick, take a bite!
Morphe: Phoebe... I don't think anyone would want to eat a cookie that could talk...
Phoebe: Wait, what? Oh no...

Naga

Happy holidays, (Captain).
Hehe. Tonight is the night for giving gifts. You know, I don't entirely mind this season.
What? You think I must be cold in this outfit? Hah. Don't be silly.
I'm just showing off my style and giving the world a chance to see the greatest beauty! And I'm doing an excellent job of it, if I do say so myself!

Naoise (Event)

Even in my hometown of Irestill, this time of year is known to be special.
So when I spend time with friends like this, it reminds me of the old days.
You know, Seruel always used to look forward to Heles's cake and my tea.

(Captain)? What's the matter? You should be spending this special time with someone close to you. Are you not going to be with Lyria and the others?
...! You've come to be with me? You humble me on this day.
Back on Alster Island, it was common to pray for good fortune on this night.
But I will spend this night with you. No, it would be my pleasure to spend it with you.
Nothing makes me happier than hearing that you count me as someone close to you, (Captain).

I considered offering my assistance for tonight's supper, but I fear I may just be a hindrance.
Memories of my childhood at Emmain Macha came to mind—one winter night in particular.
I roamed the halls together with Heles and Seruel, eager to help prepare supper or decorate the castle halls.
Ultimately, we ended up knocking over a pot of boiling water, and my mother scolded the three of us.
I remember trembling in utter terror at my mother at the time, but looking back now I feel nothing but warm nostalgia—life is strange like that, isn't it?

Speaking of the holy night, as a child I would always leave candy by my pillow for Santa Claus.
In Alster Island, we use wheat and honey to bake a special treat for that very purpose.
If I remember right, it was the first thing that Heles ever baked. Ah, the memories.
I do not recall how many years ago it was, but there came a time when Heles decided to make some on her own. Even her mother was shooed out of the kitchen.
I fulfilled my duty as a food taster, praising her for the confection's wonderful taste. But doing so only brought me blame.
She wondered why I did not point out her accidental use of salt in lieu of sprinkles.
From all the perspiration that a knight undergoes during training, it is only natural to find salt savory.
That is why I enjoyed her confection so.
Hm?
You believe that my inimitable taste buds are the problem, not the perspiration?
(Captain), your words confound me...

Narmaya (Valentine)

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
It's freezing today. Maybe we should huddle up together for warmth?
Hee hee... Come on, I don't bite!

Happy holidays!
(Captain)! (Captain)! It's the most magical time of the year!
Last year, we just sat in front of the fireplace. So, for this year...
Wanna go into town as a change of pace? Hee-hee. Here, take my hand!
We're gonna have so much fun today, (Captain)!

You know, there was a time when I went away to train all alone on a remote snowy mountain.
Back then snow was nothing to me, but something that was cold and white.
But not anymore. Now I think it looks absolutely beautiful. Makes my heart flutter when I see those little flakes falling.
I bet it's because I'm not all by my lonesome self anymore. Because I'm with a special someone.
Psst, (Captain). Mind if we... cuddle a little?
Hehe. Let's just stay like this for a while.

Happy holidays, (Captain)! What a beautiful night this is.
Teehee, this is the fourth time I've been able to spend this special day with you. It makes me so happy...
What sort of present do you want? I'm ready to give you anything...
Hm? You just want me by your side?
Ehehe... It's the same with me. Just having you nearby fills me with endless satisfaction.
I guess we make the perfect holiday gifts for each other. Ehehe.

Nezahualpilli (SR)

Happy holidays!
Hah hah hah! I just crashed into an old man earlier—he was in quite good shape for his age!

Hah hah hah! That was so much fun I almost forgot how cold it is!
Hm? Is it my turn to fire up the crew?
All right, I've got something just perfect for the occasion!
Don't take your eyes off me for a second, everyone! Hah hah hah!

(Captain), won't you join me for tonight's festivities?
Hah hah hah! Now that you mention it, we should probably discuss how we'll spend the time there.
I was thinking you and I could try performing the tribal folk song and dance of my people together.
And you know, two is always better than one, three is always better than two, and so on—Actually, scratch that... We'll need over a hundred people.
Hah hah hah! Worry not, my friend! We have more than half a day left to practice!
And practice we shall! I look forward to seeing the looks of astonishment on their faces tonight!
Next, to invite the ladies of the crew! Any dance worth its salt needs a few lovely maidens!

A wizened man clad in robes of red who brings presents in the night...
Is he not afraid to be flying at such heights all night?
Hmm... I do wonder.
Aha!
If I can get ahold of him, perhaps I can ask him the secret of overcoming the fear of heights!
Hahaha! With this I might finally overcome my fears!
There's no time to waste!
Will you help me find him, (Captain)?

Nicholas (Event)

Happy holidays! I've been laying the groundwork for tonight for ages!
Groundwork for what? Why, the decorations, of course! When the crew sees the mechanical wonders I've put up to celebrate, it's gonna blow their minds!
Let's celebrate like we mean it, (Captain)!

It's that time of the year again...
What am I so excited about? The decorations of course!
The number of crew members has increased and... We've got so many more young crew members, right?
I got appraisal from everyone who heard about what we did last year, so this year I'm going all out with the decorations!
Will you help me, (Captain)? Haha, thank you! All right, let's get a move on it!

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
Heh heh. Actually, we're all done with the decorations.
What are we doing this year?
Isn't it obvious? We're going to give out presents!
Your crew has a lot of younger ones, so we made little robot toys for each and every one of them!
I'm sure they'll love it!
C'mon, (Captain). Let's give 'em out together!

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
Haha. I bet I look like a mess. I was just repainting Gigantes.
It's because I was thinking about Santa. He's got that red coat and that white beard.
By adding some white to Gigantes, I thought I could give it a seasonal flair. Maybe call it the Santa Bot.
Its power is just what you'd expect—carrying loads and loads of presents like it's nothin'.
And its control system would continuously evolve, learning to give the perfect present to each and every kid based on age!
Haha. Pretty good idea, right? The bots I make aren't just for battle!

Noa

Happy holidays to you, (Captain).
Tonight Santa Claus appears before all the good children bearing gifts.
Have you been good this year as well, (Captain)?
Hehe. Well, you're a little too old to be bound by those rules anymore.
I do have a present for you though. It's not from Santa, but I hope it'll do.

So (Captain), do you know how Santa delivers all those presents?
According to one local legend, he travels the sky on a sleigh pulled by reindeer.
In any case he manages to do it all in just one night. As a primal beast that builds ships, I have to admit I'm intrigued.
Just once I'd like to see Santa riding around on his sleigh...
Hehe. What a strange thing to talk about. Let's just set that aside and enjoy the night before us.

Happy holidays, (Captain).
Preparations for this year's celebration have taken quite some time. Looks like we'll just be able to make it though.
What's taking so long? Well, the sleigh of course.
It was constructed for a dignified shipwright of a primal beast.
I don't know if it'll be able to go around the world in a single night, but it's definitely speedy.
I'll see if Rackam's up to play Santa Claus, but...
Well, it'd be great if you could lend a hand too, (Captain).

Ah, (Captain), what perfect timing.
As a matter of fact, I was just looking for you. I have a bit of a request to make.
Do you remember the sleigh I made last year?
This year I've modified it to release snow from the bottom.
Snow reduces friction when traveling across the ground anyway.
We can make it snow as we advance through the sky.
I'd like to use the sled to deliver presents to the children of the order.
Would you mind lending me a hand, (Captain)?

Novei

Happy holidays!
Hey, (Captain)... I was wondering...Do you have any plans for tonight?
Why? Well, I have two tickets for a holiday dinner and...
I was wondering if you'd like to come along... Um, you know, if you're free that is! Otherwise, I can just ask someone else!
You can come? G-great! I heard the food is going to be fantastic!
I'm going to go get ready! I'll see you on the deck later tonight, then!

Hmm? Ack, (Captain)! Sorry... Unfortunately the food's not ready yet.
You smelled something good? Hehe. Well it's been in the oven for a while.
Since I was little, I would help my mother make the holiday festival dinner. I was always in charge of the mashed potatoes.
Smash the potatoes, add a pinch of salt. That's all I had to do, but I would also try my best to taste it as I made it.
Sometimes I would fill up on just tasting the potatoes and make my parents wait to start dinner. I miss those days...
Since I've become an adult, I haven't been able to go home for the holidays very often.
But I've enjoyed spending the holidays with you, (Captain).
Today I'll make a festive feast as a way to thank you for all the little things you do for us every day. I hope you're looking forward to it!

Happy holidays!
Oh, you could hear my violin out in the corridor?
I was practicing. Everyone on the crew who plays an instrument decided we'd put on a holiday concert tonight.
A peaceful holiday is nice too, but nothing beats singing and dancing the night away with all your friends.
I want to make sure it's an evening everyone will enjoy.
You want to hear my performance?
Well of course you can!
I'll run through the first song on the program. Give me your honest feedback, all right? Don't hold back!

Happy holidays, (Captain).
You're wondering what my plans are for tonight? Well, I've actually got a concert planned...
And it's a concert just for you.
Hehe, did I have you going for a sec? You're going to be the only person in the audience, so it's a surprise solo performance just for you.
I have to show my appreciation for all you do for me after all.
So will you be free to attend tonight?

Olivia (Event)

Tonight is the longest night of all. And to greet one another on this night, we are to say, "happy holidays." Correct?
Ah, no children of man lived on my island. It was a very small island.
I've come to learn much from traveling with you.
A holy night... What will the children of man think up next.
I pray that you and yours will have a joyous celebration.

Happy holidays, (Captain).
Who are you going to spend this festive night with?
It seems that the celebratory banquet aboard the Grandcypher is already underway.
Everyone is having the time of their lives to make this a memorable day.
Oh, sorry. I forgot that the children of man find the night air of winter to be cold.
You should bundle up so you don't catch a cold.

Hm? (Captain), why have you come here? Did you grow weary of the festivities?
I see. The feast was growing long, was it? Taking a reprieve from the bustle isn't such a bad idea.
I'm mistaken?
Me? At the party? So you came here to invite me.
(Hmm. There is no reason for me to participate in a party held by the children of man, but...)
Well, since you went out of your way, I have no objections.
Let us hurry to the venue. Once we arrive, would you introduce me to your favorite dish?

Happy holidays. Enjoying the feast to the fullest, aren't you?
Surprised to see me participating of my own volition? I'm not attending for any particular reason...
I don't dislike these gatherings. Besides, this way you won't have to waste time looking for me.
Does my simple act of joining the feast please you so much?
Hm... While I don't understand why it would...
I'm satisfied knowing that you are happy.
I'll do my best to emulate you children of man and enjoy the festivities as well.

Owen

What are you doing at this hour, (Captain)?
Me? I'm keeping watch.
Tonight's the big night, and that usually means people are more lax.
Therefore I've taken it upon myself to remain vigilant in their stead.
It's times like these that attract misfortune.
Hm? This large bag I'm carrying?
This would be... Ahem. This bag contains everything I need in order to carry out my duties.
In any case you needn't worry about what I'm holding.
Now it's gotten awfully late, (Captain). Might I suggest retiring to your room?
If you don't get to bed soon, Santa Claus won't be able to deliver his presents.
But don't worry. Santa will definitely pay you a visit tonight.
And when you wake up the next morning, you'll find a wonderful present. I guarantee it.

What to do...
(Captain)? What a coincidence meeting you here.
What am I doing? I'm procuring the necessary items for the party tonight.
But...
Choose: Something the matter?
Yes... The princess has ordered me to buy a cute stuffed animal...
However, I don't know what that means...
(Captain)... Would you be able to assist me?
Thank you. Then let us buy the cutest toy we can!

Who goes there!
(Captain)? May I ask what you're doing? To think you would appear in my room at such a late hour...
Hm? That is quite a large sack you're carrying. And what is that in your hand...
Perhaps... Were you meaning to leave me a gift as I was sleeping?
P-please accept my apologies!
I did not think you would be taking on the role of Santa Claus this night.
Er... I shall go back to sleep presently. Would you mind setting down the gift then?

A snowball fight with everyone in the crew?
I'd be happy to accept your invitation, (Captain).
May I ask who else will be joining?
What! Wait a second... You mean to tell me that the princess will be on the other team?
My apologies, (Captain).
I'm afraid I cannot bring myself to throw a snowball at the princess, even if it is only a game...
Instead, I shall join the princess's team. We'll face each other in the fight, (Captain)!

Pamela

Hello, (Captain)! I heard that Santa's coming tonight. Do you have your stockings ready?
If they're peephole stockings, the presents will fall right out. I made that mistake once when I was a child...
Oh, by peephole stockings, I'm talking about stockings with a gaping hole where the big toe would be.
I sure hope Santa's bag of presents doesn't come with any peepholes!

Just before the orchestra's holiday performance, the dulcet tones of a flute echo throughout the halls.
Ah! (Captain)! You've come to see our performance?
To tell you the truth, I'm really nervous... It's always like this before I go on stage. If I don't practice, then I can't calm my nerves.
(Captain)? Why did you pull out your handkerchief so quickly?
What! How did you pull flowers out of it! That's amazing... Ah, I see what's going on.
Hehe. Thank you. I feel a little less nervous now.
I'll play my heart out during the performance! I hope you'll like it!

Happy holidays, (Captain). I just finished writing a greeting card for you. Here you go.
I drew a picture on it of you and Vyrn as Santa and his reindeer.
You think this Santa really looks like you? Good, I tried my best to think of your face when working on it!
Hm? You're going to hang this up in your room? Eep, th-thank you!
It's a bit embarrassing, but I'm glad you like it!

Oh, (Captain)! Thanks for coming to our holiday concert!
I was nervous about performing in such a large theater, but I'm glad things turned out okay.
Eep!
Haha, I guess all that peace of mind got my stomach growling somehow.
If you have some time to spare, would you like to come to dinner with me? There's a restaurant I've been meaning to check out.
Yay! I'm glad I invited you! Now I'll just need a few minutes to get ready.

Today's a time when the whole world feels restless. (Captain), do you remember what I said earlier?
Heh. I see you're already busy with preparations for tonight's feast.
You always enjoy each event to the fullest. I find it truly admirable.
What? No, I'm not being sarcastic. These day-to-day activities are what make us human.
I hate to neglect these events, but... I'm afraid the reconstruction of Verona is far from complete.
Hm? You want me to stay? Are you sure?
I couldn't possibly decline your kind offer, (Captain). I'll gladly join you.

Last year's holiday party really left an impression on me.
I volunteered to chip in for this year's preparations. Would you mind having a look at what I've done so far?
Hmm, sprinkling some white powder on the windows will make it look like they have snow on them? That sounds like an excellent idea.
In the past I've always left this work to the servants. I never knew to appreciate how much work it is.
Hm? My clothes are dirty? My apologies, how uncouth of me.
It just goes to show how hard I've been working, you say?
Haha, I'll gladly accept those words.
Now then, I'd best get to decorating these windows. Would you be so kind as to help me, (Captain)?

Yet another holiday party approaches tonight. I must say I now look forward to helping with arrangements.
A vibrant party is all well and good, but by lending a hand, I come to learn more about the townspeople.
Here's a few points I noticed.
With but scant few words, I can see that each person has their own story to tell, climbing different rungs of the social ladder, and dealing with their own unique problems.
I wish I could ensure happiness for everyone, but...
Ahem. I digress. 'Tis a night for joviality, and I won't drag down the mood with difficult matters.
You and all in the crew deserve a night of joyous partying.
Have a look at the decorations I had a hand in when you can. I pulled out all the stops this year.

Candles are lit and placed in ornate glass cases all around Verona's plaza today.
This holiday is a reminder of the importance of spending time with family.
I wondered if there was anything I could do to make this precious time even more enjoyable for the people.
Though I am but an amateur who came to rely on the handiwork of the attendants, I think it was a success.
It's starting to get dark. The full brilliance of the candles should soon become clear.
I think I shall head over to the plaza to see how the people are faring. Will you come along as well, (Captain)?
The experience I gain this year will be useful for future holidays. If you have any feedback, I would like to hear it.

Percival (Event)

Ah, the holiday season. As a child, my siblings and I would celebrate together. I remember those times well.
My word! I haven't seen this many people celebrating since my days with the order.
I suppose it doesn't hurt to enjoy yourself every once in a while, though.

Hm, have I caught a cold? Maybe I'll skip the festivities tonight and have a quiet evening to myself.
Oh, is that you, Captain? What is it? It's not good to be alone? Wait! Don't come any closer!
No! I mean, you'll catch my cold! Just listen to me! Hm? You'll stay and take care of me?
But you promised to go see the night sky with everyone. I'll be fine, so hurry up and go.
You're pretty stubborn, you know that? Fine, you can stay, but when I'm better, I'll show you a night sky like you've never seen.

Humph. This has become quite the blizzard.
Everything was in place for a most picturesque night until the capricious whims of nature had to go and spoil it all.
Heh, it's just like you to always be optimistic. If you'd like, we can go out another time.
The weather is unfortunate, but this food is first-rate. Let's enjoy ourselves with this bounty.
What comes to mind on a night like this? Hmm, I guess I could share some memories with you.
There was a snowstorm a long time ago, just like the one we're having tonight. Mother read a story to me and my brothers.
We were so absorbed in the story that we threw tantrums and pestered Mother to continue...
Heh... What a thing to remember. Now I'd like to hear one of your memories.

Enjoying five-star cuisine created by a top-ranking chef, all while surveying the breathtaking night view outside... I can't think of a better way to spend the holidays.
Oh, a shooting star. I just caught a glimpse of one by that mountain over yonder.
Heh. Put my hands together and make a wish, you say? Very well. I suppose it wouldn't hurt.
I wish that I would continue to meet suitable vassals.
What's that? You spotted another shooting star? And you want me to make another wish? Well, if you insist.
I wish that all skydwellers would be able to spend the holidays with those dear to them.
You think the scale of my wish is too large? But that's exactly what wishes are for—the grander, the better.
I've already been blessed with precious vassals such as yourself, so I thought it only right to wish for the happiness of others.
By the way—what was your wish, (Captain)? Care to share it with me?

Philosophia (SR)

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.

Predator

Everyone's smiling from the bottom of their heart...
What is it, (Captain)? Hm? There's something you want me to help with?
What's this... Baking a cake? Mm... I'm not so sure.
(Takes me back to how I used to prepare meals for Dad and everyone else back at the factory.)
Okay then. Get ready for the best cake you've ever had.

Come look at the snow fall, (Captain). Isn't it stunning?
Hm? You challenge me to a snowball fight?
Well, I don't think that—
Guh! I never said I would—
(Captain)?
(Fled? No, I sense the captain nearby. Aiming for my blind spot perhaps?)
Humph. You seem intent on striking me with snowballs. This duel is just what I need to warm up with.
Bring it on, (Captain)!
Haaaah!

What in the world are you doing, (Captain)?
Huh? You're making festive wreaths?
(That's supposed to be a wreath? Hm, looks like mangled pieces of scrap or something... No, what am I thinking?)
Say, (Captain). How about I give you a hand with that?
I'm actually pretty good with handicrafts, including wreaths believe it or not.
Okay, pay close attention, because I'm about to show you how to make the prettiest holiday wreaths you've ever seen!

You have a job for me? Sure, okay. What is it?
What! You want me to go hunt down a chicken?
This is the first time anyone's ever asked me to stalk a bird. My craft usually focuses more on people.
But I suppose there's no reason I can't get the job done. I'll take it. How many should I aim for?
Huh? You want me to buy them not kill them? At the market? From a reputable seller?
Haha, okay. That sounds reasonable. Old habits die hard, don't they?

Rackam (Holiday)

Season's greetings, Cap'n!
Don't forget, if ya weren't good this year, Santa's not comin' to see ya!

So tonight's that special night, huh? I always used to look forward to presents from Santa.
Hmm? What kind of presents did I get?
Let's see... wooden toy tools, a model airship. Stuff like that.
That airship was my favorite. Wherever I went, I would always bring it with me.
Come to think of it, whatever happened to that thing?

Oy, (Captain). Get any presents from Santa Claus?
You're grinnin' from ear to ear, so I thought you might've...
Heh-heh. Seein' that smile on your face makes me smile too.
But watchin' all the kids get presents sure is hard for the adults.
Makes me wish I were a kid again.

What? You want my help giving out presents to the crew?
Haha, you came to the right place!
Right, so I'll dress up as Santa—
O-oh... You wanna be Santa, (Captain)?
Then I guess I'll be the reindeer...
Vyrn's got dibs on that? Well, whaddyou even need me for then?
Whaaat! The sleigh? Whaddya mean, the sleigh!
Oh yeah, go ahead. Have a real good laugh at ol' Rackam's expense...
Well, I guess you deserve to have your fun. Tonight's about celebration after all.
All right then! If it puts a smile on your face, I guess I'll be your sleigh, or whatever else you want!

Rackam

Season's greetings, Cap'n!

Randall (SR)

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!

Razia (SR)

Urgh! Why does it always turn out so gross?
Gasp! Who's there? Oh, it's you, (Captain).
What are you doing up so late?
Oh, you were thirsty? O-okay, well, grab a drink and hurry back to your room.
Huh? Um, I'm not up to anything... Wait! Don't come over here!
What do you mean, what's that? Can't you tell it's a cake? I mean, it's a little soggy, but...
No! Stop! Don't look at me with those pitiable eyes!
Ungh, I wish I were dead! I'd rather embrace death than suffer this disgrace!
Huh? Oh... S-sure, you can help me.
Let's roll up our sleeves and bake the tastiest cake the crew's ever had!
That's right! There's nothing the two of us can't accomplish when we work together!

This went well! Hahaha! Have a look! This is what I can do!
...!
Who is it? Oh, it's just you, (Captain).
Why are you here so late?
What? The sound of my voice woke you up? I see... You have my apologies.
Huh? What was I doing? I'm making a cake!
Look at it, (Captain)! It is the cake! Nothing like the disaster I made last year!
Hahaha! How do you like that? I've gotten quite skilled at this.
What? I should watch where I step? What are yo—
O-Ouch... Oh no... My cake...
Just when I finally made it right...
Why do I always slip up when it matters the most!
Don't you dare look at me with those pitiable eyes!
Ungh, I wish I were dead! I'd rather embrace death than be so humiliated!

???:Gah...
Razia:Who is it!
(Captain)?
What am I doing? What does it look like I'm doing? I'm knitting socks.
For what? It's obvious!
So Santa can put a present in it!
What do I want?
Hm... I want bullets for my cannonlance.
The bullets are custom order. I can't just buy them anywhere.
I asked my servants to purchase them for me, but they all insist they can't be bought.
So I need another way to get my goods!
That's why I've decided to ask Santa for them instead.
What? Why are you looking at me like that?
S-stop! Don't you dare look at me with those pitiable eyes!
Kill me! I'd rather be dead than looked at like that!

Cannonlance, all loaded up. Spare bullets, check...
All right. I think I'm good to go!
Hm? Oh it's you, (Captain). Sorry, but I'm heading out for a bit.
Apparently, the forest near here is a roost for giant birds. I heard it from one of the villagers earlier.
And you know what today is, don't you?
Yup, and what spells out holiday feast better than spit-roasted bird?
So I'm off to hunt some drumsticks!
Don't look so worried! I can handle a few birds on my own. I'll show you!
Well then, (Captain). I'm off!

Redluck

Ah, (Captain), eh? Ready to celebrate the holidays, I take it?
No matter how old I get, today never gets any less exciting to me.
Why, you ask? Because everyone just looks like they're having so much fun.
Okay! Let's make tonight's feast extra festive! I'm gonna work hard to give the whole crew a holiday feast like nothing they've seen before!

(Captain), could I ask you something?
I was thinking of dressing up as Santa Claus this year... What do you think?
If I dyed my hair and my beard white, it could work, right?
Oh, come on. I want to give the kids something to smile about.
I could throw a feast like I did last year, but I thought I'd step things up a notch.
Pretty good idea, huh?
Hm? Ahahaha! Don't worry, you'll get your present along with the rest of them!

Hm, I dunno...
Ah, (Captain). Guess you found me, huh. Since you're here, I've got something to discuss.
I was wondering how we could make this an entertaining night for everyone.
We had fantastic grub, and the kids all raved about my Santa Claus outfit last year.
What I'd give to see those smiles again...
...
You know, I don't exactly have to come up with something new to please everyone.
It's you who made me realize that. We must never forget our humble beginnings!
All right, time to go shopping for groceries. I've got a ton of cooking to do later.
That includes my own share too, of course! And I eat a lot!

Well, well. You signed up for this eating competition too, eh?
That should make this a holiday belly-battle to remember!
Hm? You thought this was gonna be a chicken challenge?
I can see why you'd think that, but nope! Tonight's a holiday cake-eating battle!
Dahaha! Cake is a pretty heavy food, so this is no amateur rumble!

Reinhardtzar

Good timing, (Captain). Here's your present. Catch.
You look surprised... I know it's not like me to partake in this gift-giving thing.
But there were more than a few fathers in my unit back in the day.
We all chipped in to give those little shrimps presents whenever the occasion arose.
So preparing presents for you all takes me back to those days...

Hm? Kind of surprising to see you here, (Captain).
Me? I'm out here on a grocery run.
Meat, vegetables, wheat, and what have you... They asked me to help out in the kitchen.
You know how tonight's that special night? Well, they needed more people to help prepare tonight's feast.
I'm not a real chef by any means, but I'm somewhat of a halfway-decent cook, and my muscles are better put to use with these sorts of errands anyway.
Wasn't too keen on it at first...
But seeing how gung-ho everyone was reminded me of how I used to do things back in the day.
So I can't go around town with you right now, but you can look forward to some good food later.

Hey there, (Captain). Sorry, but I'm kinda in a hurry right now.
The kitchen's been having some trouble. Apparently there's not enough cake to go around; someone didn't make a proper head count.
There's not enough ingredients left to complete the job, so I'm off to fetch more.
Huh? You want to join me? Nah, not necessary. I can handle it on my own.
It's chilly, so you might catch a cold.
Fine, fine. Just stop glaring at me. Guess it would be more efficient to have you along anyway.
Since you're going through the trouble, let me know if there's something you want. I'll get it for you as a thank you present.

What's this, (Captain)? A present for me?
What a conscientious captain.
I'm not a kid though. You should save the gifts for the children on the crew.
Hey, wait. Don't make those puppy eyes at me. I'm sorry. I'm not rejecting your gift.
All I meant is that the kids would appreciate it more—the shine's still on the apple for them.
My communication skills are failing me today, sorry. Here. This isn't an apology—just a gift.
Yeah... I thought you should have something for the holiday. If you're not too mad at me, go ahead and take it.

Richard (SR)

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.

Rita

The feasts around this time of year usually have a wholly cooked bird, right? Is it a duck?
It's not like I like to eat duck... I just happened to remember something about a talking duck.
But I guess if I had to pick my last meal, I'd want it to be duck with olive marinade!

A holiday gift? For me?
Quite a curious thing to give a zombie a present...
But... I suppose I'm happy to receive it. Thank you...
Heh-heh... It's been some time since I've gotten a gift...

Here. Take this. It's a present.
You gave me a present last year, right? I thought I would pay you back.
I'm surprised that these little customs have become so natural for me. Up until now...
You know what? Never mind. I wouldn't want to say anything to spoil the festivities today.
Oh, that's right. There is one thing I should say though—happy holidays.

Well, fancy meeting you here...
You want know what I'm doing? I'd think it was obvious... Picking up supplies for the party.
No need to thank me for something so insignificant. I owe you, in any case.
Rather, I'm sorry this is all I can do...
What's that? Cooking?
I'll pass. No one in their right mind would eat food prepared by a zombie.
Choose: I would.
You really are an odd one. Still, if you insist, I might put something together next year.

Robertina (Promo)

Happy holidays!
I just finished sending presents back home. What can I say? I'm a family person.
Being out here all the time, I don't get many chances to visit my family.
Did you want a present too, (Captain)?
You want a personal bathtub? Just be careful not to let your head go underwater. That would make you a... tuba diver. Sorry. Three out of ten?
You're feeling hungry now? I'm all out of snacks, but... I can give you a hug!

It's a happy happy holiday... Nom, nom.
Oh, these? I'm decorating the tree with tasty treats.
You see, after the party we can just eat 'em! There's no need to clean 'em up—two birds with one stone! Genius, am I right?
Speaking of which, I've been eating a few myself while putting 'em up. Here, you want one?
You're good? More for me then, I guess!
Mmm... Oh gosh, they're so scrumptious and delicious...
Huh? They're all gone already! Why didn't you tell me sooner, (Captain)!
Oh geez, we gotta go out and buy some more! Come on, let's move it!

Happy holidays! How are preparations for the party coming along?
I'm making treats that look like Santa. Check them out!
What do you think? Aren't they cute?
You want to know how to make them? Here, let's make some together!
First cut a strawberry across the middle. Then squeeze a round dab of whipped cream into the opening in the larger half.
Next draw a face on the cream with chocolate. Finally, set the smaller half of the strawberry on top like a hat. And voila!
Not bad, (Captain)! You're really good with your hands. Want to make some more?
That one turned out cute too! Nice job! Let's keep up the momentum and fill up this tray!
What's that? You feel like you got suckered into helping? Whoops, you caught me red-handed!
But you're really good at it, and it's fun making them with you!
Would you mind helping me make some more if you have time? Well, what do you say?

Happy holidays! Are you enjoying yourself, (Captain)?
Hahaha! Don't worry—the preparations for the party are already finished!
I'm not cruel enough to make an innocent kid like you help out two years in a row!
But this year I've hit a different snag. You see, I don't have a date for the party yet.
With no one to go with, I guess I'll be eating all those holiday treats by myself.
Hmm... Do you think there might be a kind soul out there who'd accompany me to the party?
Really? You'll come with me?
I can't thank you enough, (Captain)! Then let's get going! Here, take my hand!

Romeo (Event)

Today is truly a most blessed day. (Captain), are you all right spending it in a place like this?
You want to spend the holiday with me? Very well, then! Let us talk about our everlasting friendship.

On a most holy night, under the warm fire's light, two share a moment of joy. Joined by the bond of their care for each other.
Okay, time to call it a day.
Aaah! (Captain)! How long have you been standing behind me?
N-nothing! I'm not writing anything special! Just a diary of sorts!
N-no, I'm afraid I can't show it to you right now! It's a diary after all! Can't be showing that to everyone now can we!
Ah! Yes, the party! I'd better go get ready! See you there!
(Whew, that was a close one. It's still not ready. It needs a lot of work before I can show it to anyone.)

The winds of winter night whisper to me... Let us alight. The time has come. To new skies we go!
(Captain)! I'm sorry; I hope I didn't disturb you. I was reading a play and got carried away.
It's a play enjoyed by all ages. In my younger days I saw it with my family a number of times.
I remember it like it was yesterday. What a beautiful performance it was. The first time I ever saw it, it moved me to my very core.
And ever since I've been an admirer of this play. I've been a patron of many a performance, but this one truly stands out from the rest.
Hm? You'd like to see it? Then please, allow me to perform it for you. It'd be much more interesting that way.

Have a look at this snowfall, (Captain)!
...
These snowflakes dance in the night sky like white flower petals. And the way the street's lights filter through it all...
There's no other word for it but breathtaking!
Yet they are petals that disappear at a touch.
Beauty is fleeting—
Achoo!
Haha, whoops. Obviously it's quite cold out.
Let's go inside.
There's a party waiting for us.

Rosamia (SR)

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.

Rosetta

Happy holidays, Captain.
This is a special time of year, so let's make tonight a night we'll never forget!

Well now, you seem to be in good spirits, (Captain). Are you looking forward to seeing Santa?
Perhaps you think you're not a child anymore. But I think Santa will be the judge of that.
To Santa, anyone could still be a child.
Hehe. Just keep an ear out for him. His jolly laugh echoes through the snowy skies.
If you hear him, then he must be coming soon. Happy holidays!

(Captain), for you, what's the significance of this holiday? Is it a time to spend with a loved one? Or perhaps...
Hehe... For me, it's a day to spend with friends. Hmm... The cookies will be a while...
Would you like to take a walk with me?
Let's stroll down these dazzling streets together. I bet it'll be something you won't forget.

Io and the others went out. Apparently there was some event in town.
Wait... That means you and I are all alone, doesn't it?
Hehe... The holiest of nights is upon us, and it seems that my present has arrived a little early.
There's still time until the party, how about we have a nice cup of tea together?

Rosine (SR)

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 darling princeGran is the Main Character/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 (SR)

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!

Sahli Lao

It's almost that time of the year again... Hmm, what should I get for (Captain)...
Wah! (Captain)! Where'd you come out from!

Red alert, red alert! (Captain)! The Red General is mounting an attack!
On a silent and holy night, when all are fast asleep, when they least expect it... Ka-boom, ka-boom!
An aerial present bomb strike!
Our army's shouts of joy turns to screams of agony!
(Captain)! Are countermeasures ready?
Make sure to check the marshmallow trenches and barricades of holly!
And most important, the turkey stronghold!
W-what I'm trying to say it... Happy holidays!

(Captain)! Are you looking forward to the party? I sure am!
About the dinner... Actually, one of the dishes is a turkey I caught.
Ah! Aaah...
D-don't pat my head! Don't treat me like a child; I'm a full-grown woman!
Well, I do guess today of all days it's all right to go back to being a child...
B-but look at all this cake!
I-is it really okay to eat all of this?
Ah! Aaah...
I told you not to pat my head!

(Captain)!
How is this stocking meant to be used?
I received one just now, but I can't figure out its purpose for the life of me.
Hm? Hang it near the tree and Santa will put presents inside?
Th-that's a custom for children, isn't it?
Like I've told you so often before, I am an adult!
Well, it's fun enough anyway, and I wouldn't want to be a wet blanket.
Even if it is child's play, I am bound by duty to give my all.
What I mean to say, (Captain), is come hang up your stocking together with me!

Sara (Event)

Happy holidays!
I get so excited looking at all the lights in town and all the decorations. The trees look so pretty!

So this decoration goes here and... Maybe we could use more fluff to make it look snowy! What do you think, Graphos?
Ah! You were here all along, Captain? Mm...
I'm making this tree festive by decorating it with pine cones.
I wish I had a present for everyone dear to me...
Volenna, Lyria, Jin...
And, of course, you and everyone else on the crew.
Actually, you've probably already figured it out. But here's my present for you, Captain!

Hmm, hmm...
Ah, (Captain)! Please, don't look!
Ah, sorry! I'm not mad at you or anything!
It's just... the crew taught me, remember? I'm making holiday cards for everyone.
For Volenna and Jin...
Of course, you and Lyria as well!
I'll give it to you once it's done, (Captain). So until then... No peeking, okay?

Wow! This is so delicious!
Isn't it? And we're not even done with the meal, Lyria!
Oh! (Captain)! Happy holidays!
We were asked by the cooks to taste-test the food.
Every single dish they have prepared tastes wonderful. I feel like I'm in heaven!
And they're not just a delight to eat, they're also a sight to behold. There's so much...
I want to be able to make food this well one day!
I'll do my best to make food that you and Lyria will love to eat!

Sara (Summer)

Sarya (Event)

Wow! Look at all that snow, (Captain)!
The way the lights of the city mingle with the snow is so beautiful!
It's super cold tonight, but seeing the smiles on everyone's faces as they walk through the city fills me with warmth.
Hee hee! Something tells me this is gonna be fun!

Hmm. Santa comes in the night to deliver presents to good little children doesn't he?
It's truly a mystery where all those presents come from, not to mention the motive behind why the culprit would do such a thing.
Don't tell me he steals them from somewhere. Hehe.
Wait... Appears and vanishes without a trace... Steals...
Santa must be Chat Noir!
Just kidding! I'd never jump to a conclusion like that. Especially when I've never met the guy.
Be extra careful not to tell Barawa I suggested that okay?
If you do, he might just try to catch Santa!

Sarya: Happy holidays... (Captain), I've uncovered a frightful mystery.
Look! It's a gift from Detective Barawa! A plushie named Mr. Fluffles!
While it might look adorable at first, observe what happens when I push his tummy...
Mr. Fluffles: Gack!
Sarya: Eek! L-look at his face! Disturbing, isn't it?
Why... Why in the skies would a toy maker want to have a toy do this...
And what in the world was the detective thinking when he got this for me! This should be a crime!
Oh, do you want to try squeezing Mr. Fluffles's tummy? Be my guest.
Mr. Fluffles: Gack!
Sarya: Eek!

Isn't the holy night such a mysterious thing? Just saying it out loud makes me feel all giddy inside.
It has such a gentle, peaceful ring to it... that it feels romantic in a way.
When I asked Siero, she said it's because this is the season for Santa to make his appearance, and my name kind of sounds like his.
I know that's a bit of a stretch—okay, a really big stretch—but oddly enough I was convinced!
Just the thought that people all over might be saying my name indirectly feels strange yet nice.
Detective Barawa saying my name gives me a jolt of optimism, and you saying my name makes me feel relaxed.
So feel free to call out my name more often, (Captain)—any time you want.

Selfira (Event)

Happy holidays! I get so excited seeing all the gorgeous decorations.
You know, my grandfather told me he once met Santa Claus. I wonder if it's true...

(Captain), a moment of your time if I may.
Well, thank you.
About tonight's special holiday banquet everyone's been waiting for...
Would it be all right if I provided some entertainment? I've prepared a repertoire of holiday songs.
I can? Thank you! I'm going to put on my best performance yet.
The banquet's finally here. Nothing would bring me more joy than to help make wonderful new memories.
Heehee. I bet the food will be delicious, but please don't forget about my concert, (Captain)!

Hey, (Captain). Happy holidays!
I was just in the middle of tuning.
That's right. I'll be performing again for this year's holiday banquet.
But unlike last year, this year I went the extra mile and helped with preparing the feast.
You've always got to keep challenging yourself. It's a surefire way to get on Santa Claus's good—
Ah!
Er, you didn't hear that. Okay? Nothing at all...
A-anyway, I hope you look forward to hearing my performance at the banquet!

Ah, happy holidays, (Captain).
What's wrong? You seem a bit fidgety.
The get-together dinner? Yes, I'm thinking of performing this year as well.
Let me guess... You were looking forward to it? Ah, that makes me so happy...
Haha, I'm going to express the joy I feel right now through my music later tonight.
I hope you'll like it, (Captain).

Sen (Holiday)

Hey, (Captain)! Um, happy holidays? I've seen it in a picture book!
Yeah! It's a holiday where, if you're good, Stanley Claus will let you ride in his sled, right?
Wrong? Well, anyway, this is my first winter so I'm going to do my best!
Umm... What am I supposed to do, exactly?

Happy holidays!
I decided to be Santa this year. I have a present for you too, (Captain)...
Ah! Oh no... That was supposed to be a secret...
Um... (Captain), make sure you go to sleep early tonight!

Nya-di-da!
Ah, (Captain)! Happy holidays!
Did you hear that just now?
Clarisse and Ladiva were teaching me this holiday tune...
It's still kind of embarrassing for me...
But it's a really fun little melody though. You ought to sing it with me sometime.
Ehehe.

Zzz... Zzz...
Sen slumbers at the very tip of a decorated tree, keeping her balance through some kind of cat witchery.
Mmh... Is that you, (Captain)?
Sen descends from the tree in a single leap, rubbing the sleep from her eyes.
Yawn... I fell asleep...
Um... I wanted to put the star on top of the tree, so I climbed up.
But the lights from town were so pretty, I got lost in them, and before I knew it...
What? Oh. I'm still holding on to the star. Guess I forgot to set it on top...
You wanna climb back up with me? The way the view glitters—it's breathtaking!

Sevastien

Happy holidays, (Captain).
Haha. Can't wait, you say?
Well, don't think about sneaking a bite. I've put my very soul into this spread.
Savor the festive flavor of the Lumiel Gourmand!
Haha. I'm always watching, so remember what I said about snacking...
Is what I would normally suggest, but I can overlook one missing piece. Haha.

It's that time of the year again, isn't it, (Captain)?
What's that smile on your face? Oh dear, you've caught me at a funny time.
You know, some children have mistaken me for Santa Claus and asked for presents.
I wasn't able to give them everything they wanted, but I did get a chance to present them with my cake.
They were so happy... Heh heh... Just thinking about them brings a smile to my face as well.
(Captain), would you like a piece?
Seeing you smile is all the present I need to be content this year.

Why, (Captain). Happy holidays.
Looks like we're in for a chilly night. Take care to cover up your stomach when you turn in.
Hohoho. Am I treating you too much like a child?
Ah, but to me, you are still very young.
And worrying needlessly over young folk like you is one of the small joys left in life to an old bloke like me.
Thank you kindly for bearing with my little jest. I hope you have a capital evening.

Hmm...
Ah, (Captain).
Yes, it seems a present was delivered to me, but I'm thinking it might have been meant for someone else.
Oho? This is a present from you? For me? Is that so...
Receiving a present like this on the holy night had been but a distant memory for me.
Ha ha. Thanks to you, I feel like I've returned to my younger days. You have my gratitude.
In return, I shall prepare something for you to drink. A hot drink should be good for a cold night such as this.

Sevilbarra (Event)

Oh, are the holidays here already? I never really used to celebrate them so I forget when they are.
Most people are gathering around friends and family right about now, aren't they?
Haha. But we don't have to do that, right (Captain)? Huh? You want to do that?
All right, then, all right. Let's spend the holidays together!

Hmm? Oh, (Captain)! The guys in the kitchen just asked me to grab some ingredients from the pantry.
Haha. Have you seen the kitchen? There's so much majestic food in there, it'll barely all fit on the table!
And they look like they aren't even done cooking yet. Skies be darned...
Anyway, they look like they're having a great time, so it's all good in my eyes!
At times like this, it's fun to get yourself wrapped up in all the energy.
... Oh, sorry. I was just thinking about my sister. But this is no time for distractions!

Today's a special day, isn't it? All of the crew members seem filled with joy.
Bringing all of these people with different backgrounds together—(Captain), you have the character of a saint.
Ah-hah-hah! You don't have to be so modest! Celebrate your good points.
But you're already doing enough for everyone. Take care not to overburden yourself. Let us eat at tonight's feast like we've never eaten before!

It's getting chilly. Makes sense with the snowfall.
I know, (Captain). Beautiful, isn't it?
(When I was alone, I could almost feel the snow piercing against my skin...)
(But thankfully things are different now.)
...
Oh, don't mind me. Everyone's waiting, (Captain). Let's go for dinner.

Shao

Is everything okay, (Captain)? You look restless.
Ahh, the holiday season is it... You can be so childish at times, which I find to be a wonderful thing.
Being able to enjoy the little things in life is a sign of good mental health.
Which directly affects your physical health, so I hope you never change, (Captain).

Hey there, (Captain). Looks like you're having fun.
Is it because of the festive season? I understand the feeling.
But don't have too much fun. It's cold outside, after all...
If you catch a cold, I'll have to whip you up some extra special, extra strong medicine.
And if you think regular medicine is bitter...

Whew... It sure is peaceful on this ship.
I can hear cheerful holiday greetings and laughter rejoicing from every direction.
...
By the way, (Captain), was there something you wanted to ask me?
Oh, don't mind me. You should go enjoy yourself with everyone else.
As the resident healer, it's better for me to keep watch and be ready to tend to anyone who might need it.
Haha. With that in mind, I certainly hope you don't end up being carried back to me later, (Captain).
Anyway, happy holidays. Enjoy yourself.

(Captain), I have a present for you.
Or so I say, but it's simply a remedy for stomach pain.
There is certain to be quite a banquet today. With cakes and turkeys...
And it would certainly spoil the fun if you were to overeat and feel unwell.
Still, if anything happens, I will nurse you back to health. So, please, have your fill of tonight's festivities.

Sig (Event)

Happy holidays!
Aren't you going to put a pot of monkfish stew on the fire? That's how we Drugas always celebrate in winter.
Aye, 'tis traditional fare. You simply boil the fish and vegetables together. Now as for the monkfish...
Hmm... I can't really explain it. Why don't you come by my room later, and I'll make you my special stew!

Oh, (Captain). Take a look at this giant package those sea dogs sent me.
The letter says it's a holiday gift. It's not like them to do that. Aye, let's see what's inside...
Huh? Now isn't this a shock! It's a rare red king crab!
Hahaha! They've gotten tougher, those Drugas of mine! Aye, we can't let them beat us, (Captain)!

Argh, I'm so frustrated with myself.
Ah, fantastic timing, (Captain). Can you give me a hand with something?
So we're having the holiday feast tonight, aye? Well, I've been trying to catch this turkey all morning.
Unfortunately I don't move quite as well on land as I do at sea. But now that you're here, we'll nab it for sure!
Give me a hearty yo-ho and let's go!

Ahoy, (Captain)! I'm glad I caught you!
Tell me, is there anything you have on your wish list? Anything at all?
My fishermen sent me a good haul, so it was child's play getting my hands on goods this year. I even snagged a turkey.
I don't know... It's all too easy. I want to reel in something worthwhile...
What? There's no star to hang on top of the tree?
Haha! A star, huh? Now there's a difficult catch!
Good! If that's what you need, then I'll weigh anchor immediately!
It might not look exactly like what you have in mind, but I'll find something! Just hang in there!

Haaappy holidaaays!
What are you waiting for? Time to start eating, (Captain)!
Let's make lots of noise! Bring out the presents!
This is gonna be the best holiday ever! Hyaaa haaa!

Snowball fiiight! (Captain), prepare yourself for a snow-thrashing!
I'm packin'! Packin' snow, that is! And when I was in the Odajumoki Gang, I never once lost a fight!
Heh heh! I'm gonna give you a totally wicked crazy snowball! It's my gift to you!

Cough, cough!
Gah! Thought I was going to die!
Eek! Ah, (Captain)! You're just in time!
I'm using all my brains to make a snow house! If it goes well, I'll give you a tour.
But they're super difficult to make!
No matter what kind of bomb I use, the snow just goes everywhere!
I got a little too close to the last explosion. That was a close call.
All right! Let's give it another go! Yaaah!

Hyaaahaaa! It's snow! Snow! Beautiful snow!
When I see everything covered in snow, I just wanna hop all over the place!
(Captain)! How do you want to play together this year? How do you want to spend it?
Wanna make a snowman? Go dogsledding? Or what about making shaved ice?
I'm fine with whatever! 'Cause I know that when I'm by your side, I'll be able to do anything!

Skull

Haaappy holidaaays!
What are you waiting for? Time to start eating, (Captain)!
Let's make lots of noise! Bring out the presents!
This is gonna be the best holiday ever! Hyaaa haaa!

Snowball fiiight! (Captain), prepare yourself for a snow-thrashing!
I'm packin'! Packin' snow, that is! And when I was in the Odajumoki Gang, I never once lost a fight!
Heh heh! I'm gonna give you a totally wicked crazy snowball! It's my gift to you!

Cough, cough!
Gah! Thought I was going to die!

Sophia (SR)

Happy holidays!
I want to put smiles on all the kids faces! Just like Santa does!

Do you think Santa Claus will make his way here?
After all, there are kids on the airship waiting for their presents!
What? You want to know what I want?
I'm but a pilgrim on a journey. I have no desire for worldly things. However...
I still want to see everyone's happy faces more than anything else.
Ha-ha! Why, thank you for asking, (Captain)!

Happy holidays! I heard that lots of gifts were delivered to the children on the airship!
My heart fills with joy whenever I see their beaming faces! Their smiles are truly a treasure.
Santa Claus is really something! Crossing all the skies in one night and making kids smile...
I hope I can bring happiness to many others too by becoming a great priestess and spreading the teachings of Zeyen.
Now then, I must get ready for the party! I'll get to cooking and make everyone smile in my own way for today!

Happy holidays!
The holiday festivities are about to begin!
Me? It may not be my place, but I'm decking the halls.
This precious evening is one we all spend together. I simply wanted to make the children smile, if only just a bit.
My efforts may not be much, but I'd be delighted if they bring others some happiness.
I'll keep pushing on! (Captain), you can wait outside until I'm finished.
Hm? Would you like to work together?
Thank you very much! Let's make it beautiful!

Soriz (Event)

Happy holidays!
Huh? You want a present? Let me tell you about this one spot that'll give you the perfect view of paradise, then.
You know, I'm not much of a Santa fan myself, but I do fancy that fluffy red outfit...

Hm? You're looking forward to seeing Santa Claus, eh? Haha! You're still but a child, I see.
At cold times like these, I want nothing more than to get a hard drink and hop in the hot springs.
Even better if there's a nice view to look at too, of course!
Sheesh. You're having that much trouble understanding my manly ideals?
Got it! Let me treat you to a holiday cake, then!

That old man Saint Nick is a pretty sweet guy. Always thinking about how to make others happy. I admire that.
Huh? I could learn a thing or two from him? You don't hold back, do ya, Cap'n?
Huh... So, uh... How about I buy you a cake! I'll even let you pick it out.
Let's get a huge one, so that way everybody on the ship'll get a slice!

I'm back.
Oh, if it isn't (Captain). Couldn't wait to see me, eh?
I just popped into town to pick up some liquor.
The holidays are all about good food. The guys in the kitchen have that part taken care of, but a good meal just isn't complete without a good drink, am I right?
Wait, you can't even drink yet, can you, (Captain)? This is all over your head.
Haha! Come now, there's no reason to pout when you have cake to look forward to! Kids like that stuff, right?
I look forward to the day when we can share a drink together.
Make sure to grow up big and healthy, all right? Hahaha!

Spinnah (Holiday)

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 (Event)

Happy holidays!
Hmm, I wonder what kind of presents I should ask for...
Say, (Captain), is there anything you want for the holidays?
Me? That's a secret. What's that? Yours is a secret too? Haha, I guess I was asking for that!
Let's enjoy today together, (Captain). As secret-having buddies!

Hey, (Captain), how's this for an idea? I was thinking maybe I'd give Santa presents this year.
It must be tough, giving presents to everyone every year... I thought I'd express my gratitude, ya know?
But the thing is, what are you supposed to even give Santa anyways?
Got any ideas, (Captain)? Surely if we rack our brains together we can think of something perfect!

How beautiful the snow is...
(Captain), did you come here to see it fall too?
You came to make a snowman? Haha. I haven't made one in some time.
All right, I'll do the same.
Let's see who can make the bigger one.
And what if we wager something?
For example, whoever loses has to do whatever the winner says all day?

Hey, look, (Captain). The snow's really piling up.
Which means... It's time for a rematch. Oh, I still haven't forgotten about last year.
Hmm... Yeah, let's not build snowmen this time. What do you say to having a snowball fight?
The rules are the same as last time. Whoever loses has to do whatever the winner says. All right?
Heh-heh. I can feel it. This year's the year I win!

Suframare (Summer)

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!

Sutera (Event)

Happy holidays!
I heard a suspicious man in red was going to show up, so I patrolled the skies all night long. Yawn...

Let's see... One, two, three... Oh, is there anything wrong, (Captain)?
Huh? You're wondering what I'm doing? I'm counting the candles we're going to use for tonight's holiday banquet!
I hear that it's customary to carry a candle with you, and blow it out while you make a wish!
Huh? That's not right?
I see... So that's more of a birthday thing.
Well, I went through all the trouble of getting these candles together, so I might as well use them to decorate. I'll go talk with the crew about it!

Oh, (Captain)! My sister invited me to a holiday get-together she's having, so I will be heading out for the night!
That's right. She said she wants to teach me how to be more feminine...
My mind is ready—I'm ready to do whatever it takes!
Apparently there are plenty of opportunities to increase one's womanly charm during the holidays.
I'll spare no effort if it means getting closer to my sister... I just hope that everything goes well!
Anyway, I'll be off now! Have a wonderful evening, (Captain).

Huff... puff... huff... puff...
Oh! If it isn't (Captain)! Happy holidays!
I was just doing my daily training routine. Although I thought I'd hit it a little harder than usual...
I mean... We're throwing our party this evening...
Metera said if I burn a few extra calories beforehand, I can indulge myself at the buffet table...
So that's why I've been working out like a fiend...
Agh, this is so embarrassing...
Uh... Please promise me you'll keep this between us!

Syr (Event)

Happy holidays! I can't wait for Santa to come!
I'm gonna leave some cookies out for him! Or is milk better? Maybe both?

Teehehee! Oh, (Captain)! What am I doing?
I'm making holiday greeting cards for Gramps and Altos!
Heletina and the others said Grandpa and Altos might feel kinda guilty if we got them a present, so a card would be better.
Check it out! Not bad, right?
This is me and Grandpa and Altos and Mary and you and Lyria and...
Hehe, I hope Gramps and Altos like it.

(Captain)! I'll be going out for a while, okay?
I'm gonna go send a greeting card to Gramps and Altos!
Hehe, I made one for Mary too!
Yep! I'm sure they'll like it!
I'll be right back! Don't start eating without me!

Oh, (Captain)! Happy holidays!
Huh?
Hehe, do I look like I'm having a lot of fun?
Well, I got a card from my grandpa and that boy from before. They wished me a happy winter!
Look! See? The card's all shiny. Isn't that nice?
It's not made from ordinary paper. It's special!
We're going to have special food now too, aren't we? This holiday's the best!

Tanya (SR)

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).

Teena (Valentine)

Happy holidays!
Heeheehee. I think you could say there's a bit of enchantment in the air. I haven't felt this peaceful in a long time.
We have cake, a tree, and everything... If you had told me I'd be able to go on such a fun journey, I wouldn't have believed you.
If you hadn't come, (Captain), I wouldn't be here right now. Once again I owe you my thanks.

...
Oh, (Captain). Look, I made a cake for everyone.
Now to add flower-shaped sugar frosting... and I'm done! You think it's pretty? Hehehe. Why, thank you.
I wanted to see if I could make it. This was my mother's favorite flower, and it represents one of my most cherished memories.
Teeheehee. I hope everyone enjoys it too.

(Captain)! I-I have to ask you something!
My brother... He...
His solemn face and white beard... I mean, it's a fake beard, but... That face just popped out in front of me!
Is he playing Santa for the kids? What's gotten into him?
I've never seen him like that before. Something must've happened without me knowing!

Hm, I wonder what sort of food I should prepare for this year's party.
It'd be kind of dull if we served the same food every year... Then again I wouldn't want to risk it with anything too bizarre either...
Ah, (Captain)!
Is there anything you'd like for today's party?
Just say the word, and I'll make it...
Aww, really now, (Captain)... You're no different from my brother!
And that's what troubles me most!
Sigh... Guess I'll just have to decide after seeing what they have at the market.
Do you think you'll be able to come along?
Teehee. Thanks, (Captain).
Let's go then.
Haha, how nice to be able to spend time alone with you on this festive night.

The Lowain Bros

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 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: Whoops, that was you, Lowain? We're 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...

Therese (Event)

Today is a special day, isn't it?
A fellow dueler and I are going to deliver some gifts to the orphanage.
He's a pretty tough guy, but he's actually very kind at heart.
Oh, (Captain)! If you're not busy, do you want to come along?

Hrah! Arh! Hraah! Uraah!
What am I doing? I'm warming up for today's duel! Haha!
One of my friends suggested I donate my earnings to an orphanage. So I'm really gonna work up the crowd and rake it in for the kids!
Hey, (Captain)! Why don't we do a warm-up match right now?

Hey, (Captain)! It's finally the night for the last battle!
Huh? You don't remember? The duel! It's a special holiday tag team battle.
Haha. You just watch. I'm gonna rip my opponents a new one!

(Captain)! Are you enjoying our special holiday duel?
I didn't expect Ladiva to prepare a festive outfit just for tonight. That was a big surprise...
Anyway, the finals are coming up next. It'll be a great match, so be sure to watch!

Oh, (Captain)! If you're not busy, do you want to come along?

Uh... I'm wearing my bunny outfit again today... Like always...
This is evidently Christina's gift to me. Though for a gift, it's kinda weird...
Heh... I guess I can't exactly duel in this thing...

I... Well... Just like last year, I dressed as a bunny... Miss Christy ordered me to...
I politely declined, but she just said "It's that special night, so that calls for a bunny."
Oh, Miss Christy... This night is associated with reindeer... I wonder if she dressed me like this instead on purpose...

Happy holidays, (Captain).
Yes, I'm a bunny this year too, as per Lady Christy's orders...
I asked if I could slip into a Santa outfit to keep warm, and...
Well, she said no... Sigh...
Hm? You think I'm just itching to dress up as Santa?
No, no, that's not it! I just need something to keep the cold at bay!

Tyre (Yukata)

Ah! (Captain)! Tonight is a very special night!
I might be too old to be getting presents from Santa, but...
I just love the idea of cozying around a table with your loved ones.
No matter what your age, tonight is a night like none other!
Come on, (Captain)! Time to gather around the table!
To merry times! Hurrah!

Ahoy there!
Make merry, the holidays are here, (Captain)!
Yes, indeed... The folks in the dining quarters have assigned me the sacred task of decorating the dining halls!
It's all up to the efforts of myself and the other lovely crew members to make sure everything looks absolutely spellbinding!
How do they look—these wonderful paper decorations and knickknacks made by our very own crew? Truly a sight to marvel!
Honestly, you're sure lucky to have someone as tall as me with you! I'll get all those hard-to-reach nooks and crannies!

Hmm... Where could it be... No, not here...
Oho! Well if it isn't (Captain). Season's greetings to you!
Hm, me? Oh, I was just searching for something.
Say, there wouldn't happen to be a chimney on this airship, would there?
I just happened to overhear a conversation between some of the other crew members.
They said that Santa Claus enters the homes of children by going through the chimney!
So as you can see, I've been worried about whether or not Santa will be able to get into our airship without a chimney.
I need to find a way for Santa Claus to come in or else—everyone's joy is counting on it!
After all, Santa is a bit on the chunky side—know what I mean? Surely a plain old door would be too narrow!
So what else could we use instead...
Huh? If there isn't a way in, he simply uses magic?
I see! Of course Santa Claus would be able to do a little magic! It was all so obvious!
Well, that settles things! I must let the others know first, but it looks like I'll be able to rest easy on this silent night after all!

Season's greetings, (Captain)! I come to you with a gift of assorted treats on this fine occasion!
I will be heading out to town soon with the younger members of the crew.
They mentioned wanting to spend the holidays like an adult would, by window-shopping and taking in the beautiful views!
But for so many youngsters to be out and about in such a crowded town could be somewhat perilous, which is why I've taken up the task of keeping them safe!
Yes! We shall have a most merry time and return before dinner.
And of course, we'll be back with a most pleasant surprise consisting of bags of assorted treats for everyone!
So, (Captain), if you could please keep everything I just told you a secret for a short while...
For I, too, shall be keeping my lips tightly zipped in order for this glorious surprise to succeed! Now then, let us go!

Happy holidays, (Captain)!
Santa Claus is so amazing! He brings smiles to all the children of the skies!
And one day... I'm gonna be just as great as him!

Hmm... Oh, hello, (Captain)! I'm just thinking about some possible new stunts.
This time of year, all the kids are obsessed with Santa Claus, right?
I'm not sure I can top Santa's sky-wide feats.
Matching them though? That should bring plenty of smiles to plenty of people!
I'm the greatest performer in all the skies, after all!

Oh! (Captain)! Here's a holiday card for you!
Here, take it. Just take it, trust me.
Now, with a wave of my hands and a few magic words...
Tadaa! The present drawn on the card has jumped out into reality!
Hehe. Surprised? Glad to hear it!
All right, I can't stop now! Smiles and gifts for everyone!

Happy holidays, (Captain)! Time for me to make a bang!
Tonight I get the opportunity to put on a special performance for everyone! What a privilege!
I've gotta try my best to give everyone the best present of all—a smile!
Now then... (Captain), go take your seat and wait till the curtains rise!
Hm? What do you mean?
Really? You're going to watch from the stage wing?
That's okay with me, but are you sure?
So... You wanna be as close to me as you can?
Now I've got an even bigger drive! You just watch me give it my all!

Vane (Event)

Happy holidays!
I remember back when we were kids, Lancey and I would always try to catch Santa! We had a blast!

Hmm... It's that time of the season. Eh, not like I had anything planned for today anyway. Let's see what Lancey's up to...
Huh? Oh, hey, (Captain). Are you free right now? Good thing I bumped into you!
All right, you get the pleasure of spending the day with me!
Not! Yeah, like you'd want to hang out with me, hahaha!
Whoa, you serious? You're fine with hanging out? Whoa, whoa, whoa. That's... awesome!
Okay, so whaddaya wanna do? Go on, I wanna know!
You want me to bake you a cake? Are you sure? Wahaha! You've got simple tastes!
I'm gonna make the best cheesecake you've ever tasted in your life!
Let's hurry and go buy what we need! Dress warmly and meet up on the deck!

Wahaha! I've been asked to play Santa for the kids' winter party.
Heh, seeing this red suit takes me back to when I was a wee lad.
We were having a party with some other kids. Lancey and I came up with the idea to go dressed as Santas.
But my suit got messed up because I wasn't paying attention while getting ready to go. Man, I busted out crying right there.
So then Lancey gave up his suit for me to wear. He's got a heart of gold.
To be fair, I wanted him to wear it, but he was stubborn like a mule.
"You deserve to be the big man after all the work you put in" is what he said, but he was the one that was really looking forward to it...
Makes my eyes well up!
Whoops, sorry for dragging down the mood. Better get changed.
If you're free, why don't you come to the party too?

The kids just got a bunch of presents!
Their eyes were so big as they showed me all the things they got.
Just looking at all their happy faces was enough to make even me jump for joy! Ahaha!
Just think, when I was a kid, I used to get presents from Santa too. Those were the days...
Huh? What exactly did Santa give me?
Let's see... The thing I loved best was the action figure that both me and Lancey had!
"Now's our chance! Follow the captain!" Come to think of it, nothing's changed all that much.
(Captain), what kind of presents did you get this year?
Come on! Show me!

Vania (SR)

Hey, hey! Have you been into town yet? There are lights everywhere! It looks amazing!
Everyone's laughing their heads off and having a blast!
Are you having fun spending time with me, (Captain)?
Since you're my bloodkin, I order you to have a good time!

Brrr... It's so cold... Bloodkin...
Don't just stand there! Make it warm already! I want to be warm!
You have to do my bidding, remember?
If you don't, I'm going to chomp, chomp, chomp on you! Hurry, hurry!

Oh, Bloodkin! Come here for a second!
You're so slow! Okay, now hold me up!
I can't reach the top of the tree on my own.
Stop wasting time and pick me up already! The holiday's not complete without the star!

Happy holidays, Bloodkin!
You think we can hold a party at Medvecia this year?
I want all the vampires there to know how much fun we have with these events out here!
And of course, I want them to get to know my favorite bloodkin of all—you!
C'mon! Let's get going, (Captain)!

Vanzza (SR)

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 (SR)

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.

Vira

Happy holidays.
Has a nice ring to it, don't you think? Ah, to spend such a special evening with Katalina...

Ah, there you are, (Captain). Perfect timing.
How about it? Care to spend this festive night with Katalina and me?
I considered spending it alone with Katalina, of course.
But then your face suddenly popped into my head.
Hee hee... I've become quite greedy, it seems.

(Captain), I... have something to ask you.
It's about my preparations for Katalina's gift this year.
It pains me to admit, but the Katalina I knew from our academy days is not the same as the Katalina here now.
As such, I think either you or Lyria would know her best.
You do have an advantage over me in that area; I realize that much.
So what do you say we put our heads together to find the best present for Katalina?

Oh, (Captain). I was just looking for you.
Would you have a moment for me?
I need you to help me pick the perfect present for my Katalina.
Once we've finished that, let's enjoy a cup of tea while we take in the beauty of our surroundings.
It is that special night... And I would like you to enjoy it.

Volenna (Event)

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 (Event)

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 (SR)

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.

Wulf and Renie (Halloween)

Wulf: The holiest night... I've never been able to celebrate any special days like this.
Winter is usually such a harsh season. Living in that forest, we never had much to call our own either.
This is Renie's first time to celebrate as well...
I mean with me. Before we met, she may have celebrated elsewhere...
But I'm not sure. She hasn't said anything to me about things like this before.
I'm glad Renie has the chance to experience so many new things just by being on this ship.
Now if only I could get her to come out of that room...

Wulf: Is that you, (Captain)? If it's about the holiday party...
Food from inside?
You brought this out here just for me? Why, thank you.
Renie wasn't too keen on joining the party either, but I'm sure she won't refuse good food like this.
Despite appearances, she's becoming more and more accustomed to the crew.
Though with Renie being the way she is, I realize it's not easy to tell...
Oh sorry, I didn't mean to keep you here. You should go back and enjoy the party to the fullest.
Happy holidays, (Captain).

Wulf: Ah, (Captain). Happy holidays.
Renie: Happy holidays.
Wulf: Renie, you said you'd get your own food this time around, didn't you?
Renie: No, I'm going to come with and pick the food. That's all.
Wulf: Didn't you say last year you'd carry it yourself too?
Renie: Well... I did, but...
Oh, (Captain)... You'll go with me to the galley?
Hmph, you can do whatever you want. Let's go, Wulf.
Wulf: Heh. We should hurry along before she completely leaves us behind.

Renie: Look, Wulf, it's snowing.
Wulf: Indeed, it is. Are you feeling cold? Shall we return to the room?
Renie: No, this isn't too bad really.
It used to be a lot colder and snowed a lot more back in the forest.
Wulf: True... Why don't we take this chance to join the party inside?
Renie: I'll pass.
Wulf: I see...
Renie: But if we're just watching the snow here...
I don't mind you being here, (Captain). Of course, it's up to you.

Yaia (Holiday)

So I wanna try eating hot pot in an igloo too!

Yay, thanks! When it snows tomorrow, let's make it together, okay?

You (Event)

Hey, hey, (Captain)! Look what I got!
I found this present next to my bed when I woke up!
Santa came to visit me! What a swell guy!
Oh, yeah! I have to tell him thanks!
But, um... How am I supposed to meet him anyway?
Hm... As long as I stay on his nice list, maybe I can try to catch him next year.

Hey, I saw Bro Kou in that room over there decorating for the party just now...
Is there anything I can help with too, (Captain)?
Preparing the dishes to be served?
Th-that's a pretty important task... Are you sure you want me to do it?
Well... you can leave it to me! I've been in charge of cooking and stuff recently, so arranging it nicely on dishes should be easy!
Okay... So you want me to put the veggies around the meat? Gotcha! I'll make sure they look nice for everyone to enjoy!

Look, (Captain)! Look, look, look!
Santa came and left a ton of presents here!
There's cookies and candy and cake and deluxe fried tofu! Apparently it's all for me!
Here, I'll share them with you! Let's eat these together!
Hm? Why're you staring at me like that? I just wanna share these and... what was it again...
Oh yeah, "pay it forward"! Happiness is meant to be shared with the people around you, right?
Hehe. I learned that from you, Sis Yuel, Sis Societte, and Bro Kou.
But it's strange. The wrapping paper smells... kinda like you, (Captain).
Oh well. Anyway, come on! Let's dig in together!

(Captain)! Hey, (Captain)! Let's dress up as Santa!
I've got a present for Bro Kou, but I was thinking, just giving it to him like this would be kinda boring!
So why don't you dress up as Santa with me, and we can give Bro Kou a surprise!
And take a look at this! I prepared something for everyone in the crew! I used the savings I had stored up for a while!
Hehe, I hope the presents will make everyone happy. Come on, let's go, (Captain)!

Yuel (Event)

Hey! Isn't today the day good kids get lots and lots of presents?
I heard there's like this old grandpa guy who wears red and he brings everyone tons of cool presents!
Oh, that is sooo cool! I can't wait! I've been good all year, too! That means I'm gonna get lots and lots!
I hope you get loads too!

Whoo! It's holiday season! Mm, what to do, what to do...
Oh! There's this thing we do where I'm from! Come here—I'll show ya.
First we put on a coat dyed in red!
Next put in presents people would love to get as a gift in this snow-white bag.
All in there? Ooh, it's packed! Now carry it over yer shoulder and put on a bushy white beard fer the final touch-up.
There, all done! Hm? Whaddaya do in this getup, you ask?
You'll want to walk around and give out gifts to those who've helped ya out over the year. Seein' their face burst into a smile is priceless!
And now... It's time for my present. C'mon, (Captain)! Hahaha!

Ta-da! A present to you for bein' a good kid all year round, (Captain)!
C'mon, open it up, open it up! Go, go, go!
Well? How about it? A pass to "cuddle wit' tails" for an entire day!
That's right—any tail is fair game, not just mine!
Ahaha! I didn't exactly get permission from anyone else though, so it's better to stick with my tail!
So? When do you think you'll use it? Just keep in mind that cuddling is as far as I'll let ya go!

Hmm... I'm stumped. What kinda present should I give (Captain) this year?
Sigh... Maybe I'd make a good present...
No, you big dummy! That's so stupid!
Seriously, get a grip, Yuel! You're just embarassin' yourself now—
Aaaaah! (Captain)! How long have you been there for?
Heh... Heh-heh... Um, well...
Look, I got you a present... It's me...

Yuisis (Yukata)

Um, happy holidays... I guess.
Truth is, I ain't never been to a party like this before.
Back when I was leader of my gang, we were always too busy gettin' ready for New Year's around now.
But you guys are really chilled out.
You know, I read in this book about a gang called the Elves that's always active this time of year.
Their boss is called Santa Claus. Apparently they always strike in the middle of the night.
We better be ready.

(Captain)? What're you doing here at this hour?
Me? I'm waiting for Santa.
Ah, don't get the wrong idea though.
I've learned from last year. I know now that Santa isn't the boss of some gang.
This year I'm going to meet him. So I'm waiting here.
After all, Santa rewards all upstanding sky denizens by buying the presents himself, doesn't he?
I want to thank such a caring and charitable person at least once—
What? It doesn't work like that?

(Captain)?
Why are you in town alone?
Me? I'm just taking in the sight of the snow in my stroll through town.
...
The sheer expanse of white puts me in the mood for a drink...
Why, you ask? There's just something really graceful and refined about drinking to the pristine view of snow.
No drink for you though, (Captain). Maybe when you have more years under your belt.
I'll be glad to have a glass with you then.
Hehe, I'm looking forward to it.

Oh! (Captain), good thing you're here!
I'm makin' a cake right now, but I could sure use some help with this.
Would you mind lendin' me a hand for a bit?
Thanks. Have a taste of this whipped cream for me, will you?
I think it's at just the right sweetness, but a second opinion would be nice.
Okay, open up now. Say, "Aah!"

Zaja (Halloween)

Happy holidays... Kids are supposed to get presents today, right?
Hmm... Does that mean I should give them something too?

(Captain). It's very... calm today.
Such calmness never existed for me nor my friends...
I won't forget this moment. Thank you, friend.

I'm invited to a winter night's feast?
Thank you. I can barely stand in awe of you.
It is said that a friend of a friend is my friend.
Letting me spend time with your friends is a chance I mustn't waste.
Let us go now.
Hm? I'm not smiling enough?
I will work harder then.

What? You've all assembled with presents in hand?
You surely don't mean... The last person standing will walk away with them all?
Oh, I see... You plan to exchange them... How intriguing...
Now what should I give you?
A traditional decoration from my village? Would that please you?
Ah, thank you. I haven't made one in forever.

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?

Zeta (Event)

Happy holidays! Hey, are you preparing a big feast for today?
Everyone's so excited for the holiday festivities...
And it's the kind of peaceful life that we work so hard to protect.

So, (Captain), what are you planning for us this holiday season?
Well, the ladies in the crew are looking forward to a feast, for sure!
Ha-ha! When it comes to food, you'd better put up or get put out, (Captain)!

Hey, (Captain). Want some cake? I got a little carried away and bought too many. Go on! Take whichever one you like.
Huh? You're gonna eat it right here and now? Well, I mean... Sure, it's all right...
...
You wanna know why I'm staring? Oh, I was just thinking how much you look like a regular kid with your cheeks stuffed with cake...
I mean, should you even be eating that right before the party? You won't have room to eat anything else!
Forgot about the party, huh? Ha-ha! You can be a real airhead sometimes, Captain!

Okay, the decorations are all complete. Now we just wait for the party.
Hm? You're surprised I spent my time helping you set everything up?
I might not look it, but I look forward to your invite every year.
I really like the friendly vibes everyone gives off in this crew, and we all just get along so well.
You know how disagreeing factions sometimes take root within a single organization? Take the Society, for example.
But there's none of that here, which makes my time with the crew all that much more enjoyable.
Ah, it's so relaxing just being here.

Zooey (Event)

Happy holidays, Captain.
What kind of holiday is today, exactly? Everyone looks so happy.
It seems it's the type of day you spend with someone special. Think I understand now.
In that case I want to spend the day with you.
Because I know that you're special to me.
Huh? What is this?
There's this... strange feeling in my chest. My heart is pounding and I'm getting hot flashes. Am I... sick? No, I don't get sick.
Nothing to worry about. It'll go away soon. Come along, let's go have a happy holiday, (Captain).

This is a day we spend with people we care about. Hehe. You taught me that last year.
Like last year, I plan to spend my time with you. That won't be a problem, right?
Okay, good. That makes me happy. Very happy...
Hmm?
It's happening again... This feeling in my bosom... Just like last year...
My body... is getting hotter. But it's so cold outside...
Very well... This is strange but not unwelcome. I might even say this feels good.
Hehehe. What shall we do today, (Captain)?

Happy holidays, (Captain).
Living in the sky realm for so long has taught me a great many things.
For example, I know what it means to have your heart race or face to flush...
(Captain). You are irreplaceable. That's what I think of you.
To spend this time with you... makes me a very happy soul.
For the happiness you give me, thank you, (Captain).

Happy holidays, (Captain).
I'm glad I'm here to celebrate this day with you again.
Oh, that's right. Are you cold, (Captain)?
It seemed to me that people in town were sticking a lot closer together than usual.
I wonder if they were all trying to keep their loved ones warm.
Oh, that is what they were doing? Well then, shall I nestle in by your side to keep my most important person warm?
Haha, no need to be shy. You can hold me closer.
Your presence warms me from the inside out.
So I think I'll be able to keep you cozy. Come on, let's give it a try.
