Asmodeus tilts her head. “It’s not August silly.” She replied. “It’s a ham.”

“Azzy gets it!” You say laughing.

From the steps of the shrine a certain blonde haired delinquent opens her eyes. “Ah? Hey what’s all this?” She wonders.

“This is a Christmas tree!” You reply. “Cut from the unending forests of the dark wood where the great Harrowing Worm makes its nest. Where cracking bolts of lightning, and thunder tear out trees and hope from the very core of the planet” You explain.

“Huh. Oh Christmas stuff? We’re all a bit too old for that aren’t we?” She asks. “Well, you guys seem to have a thing going on, so I won’t stay long. Happy holidays I guess.” She says then walks off.

You narrow your gaze at her retreating form. “Monologue, I thought this was going to be how the Grinch stole Christmas.” You say. Well, it was but with your child like understanding of cosmology as well as your rampant insanity you have somehow replaced Christ with Santa, the Devil with the Grinch, and God with a Gnome who controls time, so I didn’t really see that going down so well. Besides we already did how the Thatcher stole Christmas and we considered it a bit on the nose.

“I wonder if it’s just her age?” Asmodeus asks looking a bit regretful. “A bit of rebellion against what she perceives as childishness.”

“What can you do about it?” Jager asks. “More food for us anyway.”

You think about Jager’s offhanded statement and nod. Yes, what can you do about it? Other than teach her the true meaning of Christmas! “A hollow Carol? A Christmas Hollow? A Christmas Risa? A Risa Carol?” I like that last one. Right-o then, we got a name.

You and yours feast around a large table. The ham makes some of the Shinigami suddenly grunt and fall over with how delicious it is, but most of the hollows remain unaffected. Your eyes water at the mind numbing pleasure of the ham, and combine it with some of Jager’s home made potatoes to really get the party going. You have it all with generous glasses of eggnog, and your plan for making Ryoko even bester scrub solidifies in your mind.

When the party winds down, and the clock ticks away, you look over at your companions and start assigning roles. “Oi! We need to teach Ryoko the meaning of Christmas!” You say.

Asmodeus looks at you amused. “Oh? And how might you want to do that?” She wonders.

“Tonight she must be visited by three spirits.” Four spirits. Jacob Marley remember? “Fine. Four spirits. Through this tried and true method shall the blond haired lass learn what Christmas is really about.” You say.

“Hold up, Dickens? For that don’t we need the ability to travel through time?” Jager wonders.

“Leave the staging for Plant-Bro and myself, alright? We just need to think of a role for all of you to play.” You say.

You have the hollows, plus Azzy, at your disposal. You will need to send someone out in costume fast while you set up the scene. Who do you send as the Jacob Marley?

“Jager you get the forged in life issues! You must warn her of everyone’s coming!” You say pointing at her dramatically.

“Huh? Seriously? We’re seriously doing this?” She wonders.

“Of course! We don’t want Ryoko to grow up in a world where Christmas is just another day of the year! Even during WWI troops were able to come out of the trenches and exchange holiday cheer with those who sought their death. Christmas goes beyond any simple religion! It’s a fixed time of the year in which we all come together, pause for a moment, and say ‘Hey, we should act like the people we want to be to each other, not just who we are.’ We ignore the past stupidity, the petty grudges, the blind bigotry, come together, look at each other and say ‘Even if for just today you are my brother. Let us eat together and be merry!’” You explain.

“That’s—Okay, yeah I see what you’re saying there.” Jager says scratching the back of her head.

We take Christmas very seriously. “Then you will help?” You ask.

“Sure, fine. It’d be nice if the kid could get into the holiday cheer a bit more.” Jager replies. “What do you want me to do then?”

“Asmodeus, do you have chains?” You wonder.

“Well naturally.” Asmodeus says.

“Prep her, we got work to do.” You say turning around to Plantbro and making your fatebreakers get all swirly.

You are Veloces Jäger and—“Not you again.” You say looking up in annoyance. Hello! “Doesn’t Risa need your help with whatever it is she is doing?” You ask as the cold wind bites into your exposed flesh. Oh, I’m sure she’s got it well in hand. If she doesn’t I am sure Plantdoka can set her straight. “Who?” You wonder.

Anyway, you are currently waiting outside Ryoko’s window in an outfit that is mostly chains, and if you try and move you feel twists and tugs on various awkward places. You like it. “I don’t.” You counter. Come on, not even a little? “Bondage plus outside is a bit much for me. Besides, since I know you are going to go on about it, I think I would prefer to be the one who ties as opposed to the one who is tied.” You explain. Huh.

“Why are there so many chains anyway?” You ask pulling at the ones around your wrists. Nazi. “That, huh?” You ask.

You see Ryoko start to fall asleep at her desk, and the window opens for you. You saunter into her room and

“What is Ebonics?” You think in your brain parts, seriously why doesn’t Risa ever try it? It’s like, urban speech in English. “I, er, I don’t really know English.” You say. What? How do you not know English? “I only know Japanese and a smattering of Spanish when I became a hollow!” You say. Huh, I forgot about all that. That’s weird.

You clear your throat and stomp on the ground. Ryoko jolts awake and looks at you. You try and rattle the chains but despite there being so many of them they don’t so much rattle as much as they bite into certain places and make you take various provocative poses. You bite back your annoyance and look at Ryoko. “R—Ryoko! Tonight you will be visited by three spirits!” You say. Four spirits, if you include yourself.

Ryoko looks at you for a second, then spins her chair around, crosses her legs, and rests her chin on her hand. “That’s one nice outfit.” She says.

“These are the chains I forged in life!” You reply. “During Christmas they become even heavier!”

“I wouldn’t mind taking them off of you, you know?” Ryoko says and you get the feeling she hasn’t been looking at your face. “I wonder what sort of stuff I have to do to end up like that. You must have had some life.”

“P—Pay attention! Tonight you will be visited by three spirits not counting me, okay?” You broke character. “They are here to show you the error of your ways.”

“When will they show up?” She asks.

“Eh? Um…” You frown. “Well, about midnight maybe? They will take an hour each, or something like that.”

“So you are saying we have a few hours to kill?” She asks.

You sigh and shake your head. Kids today, am I right? “Look, just know you will be visited by them and try to learn a lesson.”

“Well, I am pretty used to getting visited by spirits so I don’t know how well this will work. I wouldn’t mind getting visited by you a bit more. Hey! Where are you going?” Ryoko asks.

You have turned and are leaving through the window. “Okay, that’s all I wanted to say I think. So just be ready for it.”

“Isn't it uncomfortable having just that one chain going through your legs and into your—“ She says but you sonido off before she can get any worse.

“Maybe Asmodeus wasn’t the best person to get these chains from.” You say moving awkwardly in your fast movement.

Nah, it’s gravy. In fact you should just wear that around the shrine a bit more. “No.” Fine, jerk.

You are once more Risa Schrodinger. You are standing in front of a stable wormhole you and your plant tore through the fabric of spacetime. You both raise your hands and condense it into a jewel that can be used to travel through time and space! It isn’t a blue box though. “Oh Monologue! How did it go?” You wonder.

Ryoko was captivated by the Ghost of Jager. “Of course!” You say nodding. “Now we just need to decide on someone to manage to past aspect of this little adventure!

Why is SinFin being put in the future? I literally can't think of someone who could represent the past better then her.

>>36962005
because she'd make a better grim reaper

>>36961864

A Christmas Carol centers around a story of the accused's life, not the life of the spirits. Does anyone even know Ryoko?

Azzy probably can connect to her previous need for rebellion. She also might be able to cut off the bedroom eyes, by cutting her short.

Looks like azzy!

Nothing like shitty flimsy Ikea crap to ruin one's Christmas.Fuck it, the floor is a better bookcase.

At least there's HQR.

I hope we get to maul something, I'm pissed off right now

>>36962043

Sin Fin embodies loneliness, which might better grasp Ryoko's apparent need for rebellion. Azzy marks the festive themes associated with enjoyment of the here and now, a paragon of the present.

>>36962043
Well it looks like we are going to be going through time and space, I'd assume to go and look at her past/present/future. I wonder if the lesson is going to focus on the day she found out the Japanese tooth fairy wasn't real.

Well, the thing to remember is that Ryoko is not Icabod, and her struggles are not going to be the same.

Icabod was a lonely soul, who valued coin before the enjoyment of life. He valued coins because of a long held regret of being in want for material goods.

Ryoko's battle was one against social misanthropy brought about by her spiritual powers. She now clings to normalcy and allows that to box her in from giving in to the emotional openness of the holidays

Weird for the party animal to be afraid to cut loose, but it makes sense in her pursuit of maintaining her cool girl image.

“Asmodeus you are up!” You say throwing the gem at her.

She catches it then looks at you. “You know, even for angels going against the flow of time is fairly difficult. How exactly did you get this?” She wonders.

“During Christmas my already questionable level of powers go full on into broken!” You say proudly.

“Well we will just say it is a Christmas miracle shall we?” Asmodeus asks.

She changes into a flowy white gown and dashes off. You up your cloaking and follow after her to keep the energy stable on her magical gem thingy. This is a boring job, I am going to go hang out with Asmodeus. Because she has a leather jacket and a motorcycle! “Wait you can’t just—“ Fuck you it’s Christmas!

You are Asmodeus, er, I don’t really know your last name. Do Fallen Angels get last names? “Oh, hello there.” You say. Hello! We are going to teach Ryoko the meaning of Christmas. “The true meaning of Christmas is that it was a pagan holiday associated with the middle of winter that—“ Hey, you are ruining this for me.

You climb into Ryoko’s window and see the sleeping girl on her bed. You tap your face gently, then send out a pulse of energy that jolts her awake. She rolls out of bed and looks up at you with a confused expression. “Wah? Asmodeus?” She wonders.

“I am the Ghost of Christmas Past, or so they tell me.” You explain as you brush some of your long red hair out of your face.

“Can Angels even be ghosts? I mean, aren’t you sort of like a different soul species or something?” She wonders.

“Well now, I suppose that is technically true.” You concede. Come on, you are ruining this for me!

Ryoko stretches and then looks at your outfit. “Hey, are you wearing anything under that?” She asks.

“My, you are a lascivious one, aren’t you?” You say.

“So what’s this then? Going to go back in time to show me when Santa stopped being real?” She asks.

“Well I suppose we could do that.” You sigh as you fiddle with the small gem of time power. “But I think it would be more productive to show you something else from the past.” You say.

You tear open a hole in reality and before Ryoko can object to it you pull her through. You tuble through time and search for…

>>36962451
While we did kill a lot of humans in that timeframe, the majority of them were pretty young.

>>36962271

Past is meant to grab Ryoko's heart with memories of a time before the conceit of age robbed her of the joy of Christmas. It is also meant to show in that glimpse the beginnings of how her actions have begun to hurt people. (The time she told grama she was too old for Christmas.)

The incident when she told her that she no longer believed in Santa and was done with Christmas is a pain of the past. Throwing out the handknit sweater for a leather jacket, not thinking to come home that night and finding gran asleep with a family photo album clutched in one arm is a pain she could relive. Present is when she realizes Gran didn't ever just get over it.

You find a point early in her life then jump out of the time warp. Your legs feel like jelly, with your wounded leg thrumming in absolute agony, but at this point in your life you are used to it. You take in a breath of air and lead the teenager girl to a small playground. “Christ it’s cold.” Ryoko says.

“You should have worn more clothes then.” You counter.

“Yeah, I should wear more clothes when I am suddenly abducted, because that makes sense.” She replied. “Where are we anyway?”

“You tell me, it’s your time stream. We are just along for the ride.” Did you include me in that we? “Of course.” That’s nice. We like being included.

“Isn’t this the park I used to play at when I was young?” She wonders.

It is in fact that park. You see various jungle gyms, and play areas for kids to enjoy. In the sandbox there are a group of girls building some giant hill of sand and you think it is a game of some kind. In the middle of them, with those pink oval things that mark innocent joy, is a younger Ryoko. She seems to be rather happy as she sculpts, and you almost want to giggle. “Wow, I was a shorty.” Ryoko says as she sees the image of her. “That what you wanted to show me?”

You let out a huff. “This is a defining moment of your life, there has to be more to it than that.” You say.

“A defining moment on the playground? Oh.” She says finally realizing it.

A young man and woman, maybe in their mid to late 20s, watch over the kids with smiles. Suddenly you feel something in the air shift and look up. In the sky a Garganta opens up between the world of the dead and the living. A wolf like creature with hard fur closer to spikes slams into the jungle gym twisting the metal like wet noodles and tearing apart some humans playing on it.

The kids all stand and look confused at the image, but they can’t see what Ryoko can. The wolf like monster stands, and looks super pissed at the offending metal cage. It stomps out, and Little Ryoko takes a few steps back. “What’s that?” Little Ry asks.

The other kids look at her confused, but only for a moment. A man in a dark kimono steps forward from behind the kids and draws his sword. “Nice catch!” He shouts.

He raises his blade and launches himself at the Hollow, and with a single swing he chops it in half! Or that is what should happen. The hard fur catches the blade and you see the Shinigami look confused. The fur rises, then fires out at the man. With a nimble movement he gets out of the way of the attack, leaving the children right in the line of fire. The girl standing next to little Ryoko gets filled full of spikes, and her single remaining eye twitches in confusion before her hole filled corpse falls to the ground.

Ryoko screams, and her parents are already carrying her away in a rush. The wolf howls, something that tears into your very soul, and while most everyone freezes at the spiritual attack, Ryoko’s parents press on, powered by several millions of years of evolution that scream “Protect the offspring. The bloodline must survive.”

A barrage of spikes fly forward once more when the Shinigami lands, and he knocks them away with his blade, and for a moment you think you see his blade flash a oddly familiar light for just a moment. Some of the spikes head towards the Ryoko family, and the father, as if he had a premonition, pushes his womenfolk out of the way then rolls to the side. His leg gets skewered, and he bites his teeth down in absolute pain. He pushes himself up, and before little Ryoko can cry, he hobbles away with them to safety.

“Well now.” You say as Ryoko grits her teeth.

“When I told my parents about the monster they tried to understand, but no one else believed me. They were the only ones to every trust me when I told them about the monsters that got into a fight. Everyone else said I was being weird.” She explains. “What was this supposed to show me?”

“I was trying to understand your isolation by showing when it started.” You explain.

“I was the weird kid that could see monsters, what’s this supposed to prove? I toughed it out. I am tougher than anyone.” She says.

“Well, I avoid influencing any decisions if I can.” You say. “I just present the facts.”

I think it was a good thing that we didn't have Jager do it because if the wolf was in fact Jager, and not a Jager clone, she would likely become very depressed over the whole thing... Jager cares about killing people and finding out she killed kiddies in cross-fire.... she won't take well to that one at all...

“Your parents were not the only ones who believed in you, right?” You wonder.

You pull her through a portal, and see Ryoko sitting in a classroom. Little Ryoko, man this is confusing. She is sitting isolated from the rest of the class, and seems to be in a pretty dark way. “Hey hey! You feeling better?” A girl asks. You recognize her as the girl who didn’t get got in the sandbox. “Jeez, everyone is isolating us just because some bad stuff happened. It sucks, right?” She wonders.

Ryoko smiles, and they seem happy. Ryoko tells the girl that she can see ghosts, and explains there was a wolf monster who shot spikes out and hurt everyone. The girl nods as if suddenly understanding, and while they are both isolated at first they finally start to bond with the rest of the class. However Ryoko was still the weird friend while the other girl is the peppy outgoing one who is able to make the whole school gather around. Still, it seems like a happy time, at least until they get into Junior high school.

The friend starts getting involved in the popular circle, and slowly realized that Ryoko wasn’t going to grow out of her “ghost thing”. Still they stick together, until something like the foolishness of youth finally drives them apart. “That is certainly ominous.” You say looking up. Thanks, I try to up the tension.

“Ugh, this part.” Ryoko huffs.

“What happened?” You ask her.

“Just something that left a bad taste in my mouth is all.” She explains.

You decide to watch, since it really is sort of interesting. The friend, the one who had been with Ryoko since she was young, starts getting involved with a group of popular kids. A boy she likes starts saying some shit about how weird Ryoko is, the muggy fuck, and everyone laughs. The girl has to laugh too, she doesn’t want to end up alone after all.

Finally it happens. The day after Ryoko’s parents die she walks up to the girl nearly broken. “H—Hey. It was one of those things again, I’m sure of it. You don’t think they like, hate me or something right? It’s not my fault right?” She wonders.

The girl wants to support her friend, but she can’t. Her new friends are watching, and the boy she likes is making an amused face. The friend sighs. “Look, just quit it with the ghost stuff okay? Everyone knows you are just making it up for attention! You really need to grow up, alright?” She says.

Ryoko looks hurt. “I’m not making it up. Their real.” She says. “You said you believed me.”

“Because you were a kid, and didn’t have any friends! I felt bad for you so I played along, but that’s enough! Jeez, you really need to learn when enough is enough, okay? This is why you have no friends!” She says.

“We’re not friends?” Ryoko wonders, and you want to give younger Ryoko a hug.

“Of course not. Like I said, I just felt bad for you, but now you are trying to pull me back into your crazy.” She explains.

Ryoko clenches her fists and shakes. You worry she is going to hit the girl, but Ryoko mutters an apology, and bows, before turning away and leaving. The friends of the girl laugh and gather around her happy. They go on to maintain this sort of friendship even till now. “Why do you keep just calling them her friend?” You wonder.

Because there are certain people in here petty enough to view this as an excuse to murder someone. I am trying to keep the slaughter to a minimum on Christmas. “Agh, jeez, you showed me something really embarrassing.”

“Ah, poor dear. Here, let me pat your head.” You say.

“I got over it!” Ryoko pulls away.

To the cheercycle! The jolly car! The car of joy! “I am uncertain I understand.” You say. Go see her Grandma cheering her up.

You tear open a portal in time and fling her into the future! The slightly forward future. She is sitting in her Grandma’s shop evidently ignoring her homework. Her grandmother walks in, the tiny thing she is, and she sits down. “Dear, you can’t be in a slump like this for the rest of your life.” She says, her accent thick with Kansai? Maybe Kansai.

“I don’t wanna go to school.” Ryoko grumbles.

“Come now, if you keep yerself hidden away what good will come of it?” Her grandma wonders.

“Nothing good comes when I go out there. It would be best if I wasn’t here at all.” She says.

Her grandma sighs. “You know, when I was a little girl I had the sight too. I had lots of troubles, and I don’ thought it would only get worse. But then I made friends, real friends, and met yer granpappy and he listened to me. We had our own issues back then, what with dat german lady, and the war.” She sighs. “But if you wait, if you are yourself then you will get someone who really values you.” She explains.

“You don’t understand what it’s like!” She says and rushes into her room. Slams the door too, super rude.

Outside you see a young boy, a younger Kouta, leave something in her mailbox. You look over at it and see it is a letter telling her to feel better, and that people at school miss her. He didn't sign it, and you see his evil twin look at him with scorn, but he just shrugs it off. Good kid.

Ryoko scratches her head and looks away. You feel yourself getting pulled away, your hour up, but you decide to test something. You extend your senses and feel her grandmother’s soul. There are chunks of it that feel like they have been modified, and through her body you can feel small chunks of artifacts of some sort. There has to be a story there.

You get pulled back to the real world and look at the clock. “That’s that then, isn’t it?” You ask.

“What was that supposed to show me? That I had a bad childhood? I sort of got that.” She says.

“Well, I am sure things will get better with context.” You explain.

You wander back and—oh! Risa time!

-

You are Risa Schrodinger, and you are panting. You had to maintain a large tear in space and time, and Azzy being the one leading the way, well it hurt. Still, Azzy is back looking content, and you have to wonder why she looks so satisfied. Maybe she just liked being involved.

Still it is time for the Ghost of Christmas Present to take the stage and so you choose.

You take a deep breath, then lean back. “Fuego!” You scream at the top of your lungs.

The world seems to rumble for a few moments, then the ceiling crashes and a man, with a glorious flowing mane slams into the ground. He pushes himself up and flexes. “AND SO IN THE DEAD OF THE NIGHT THEY CALL FOR THE SUN AND THE WORLD IS BATHED IN THE MIDNIGHT SUN! FOR I, DOMINIC FUEGO! STAND BEFORE THE WORLD IN ALL MY GLORY!” He shouts.

“I need you to show Ryoko the true meaning of Christmas as the Ghost of Christmas Present!” You say throwing the gem at him. He catches it with his pecs.

“So you need I, DOMINIC FUEGO! To show the daughter of man the true meaning of Christmas by showing everyone else having fun?!” He asks.

“Also throw in a guilt trip!” You command.

“Then it shall be so. But do not regret if RYOKO OF THE RAGING SANDS is unable to see after beholding the CHRISTMAS OF FUEGO!” He shouts.

“Wait, hold on is this the best? Should we get a robe or something?“ Caede starts.

“SILENCE DAUGHTER OF MINE! We must depart at once or THE WORLD WILL REALIZE WHAT WE ARE ABOUT TO DO TO IT!”

He grabs his daughter and we are off again.

You are a manly man born of greatness! The fallen sun! The broken mold made manifest! “I know not of what you speak creepy voice thing!” You shout as Caede clings to your back. “But we must go to save Christmas!”

“Weren’t you supposed to be gentle about it? Why does everyone enter through the window?” Ryoko demands fully dressed.

“The sun only shines through the window! I destroy it with my SHINING GLORY! Where shall we find the truth of the SEASON?!” He asks.

And fighting whatever objects to her opening this rift in space and time. She'd still smile while she was at it though, and occassionaly someone might come and talk.

I kind of hope we start with her 'friends' though. It would be a great way to build up them failing in the future, due to their terrible social habits. It also forces that anger to the surface then grinds it down with people she likes.

You pick Ryoko up then flex your chest to RIP APART TIME ITSELF. You leap through the hole in reality with a laugh of joy! You swim through eternity with a laugh at the uncaring eddies of infinity! You hit the ground of a current day, with your body steaming as time tries to understand just WHO VIOLATED IT!

You throw Ryoko to the ground in front of an image of Plantbro and Caede wandering around outside the shrine. “Hey, isn’t it bad if I see this? Something about time not sticking together?” Your adorable daughter wonders.

“Leave those worries for adults!” You laugh. She is so cute. “Behold Ryoko. THE DAY OF JOY THAT YOU ARE IGNORING!”

You see Caede and Plantbro meet up with school friends and they all go together to someone’s house. The parent is busy cooking up a storm. “Do you see?!” You ask.

“Isn’t it an issue if a demon celebrates Christmas?” Ryoko wonders.

“Eh? Even if you aren’t a Christian it’s still nice to just spend a day in appreciation for what you have, you know.” Caede explains.

“One can not see the stars if one is THE BURNING SUN!” You shout.

“He means that even if you lose a lot, you already have a lot too, so it’s best to cherish what you have or you will lose it.” Caede translates.

“Psh, not everyone celebrates today.” Ryoko says.

You flex in anger. “To ignore the chance for joy is to lose the fortune of life!”

“Let’s just show her.” Caede sighs.

“Hold your peace! We must watch you be adorable!” You say taking a pose.

Other Caede sneakily eats up the food her friends don’t want. It is her duty really. The mother sees her and gives her extra. “You are a growing girl! You have to eat up or you won’t grow up healthy!” She smiles.

Ceade is fed! She has a hard time with chopsticks! Why is she so cute?!

You don’t give Ryoko a chance to take the sight in as you pull her with you through the portal once more. You land in the apartment of a NEET. He makes his cup ramen, glances at a message board, and scoffs. “Psh, who cares about Christmas? The world is shit anyway. Agh, three minutes is way too long, I wish they made it faster.”

“This is what could be for those who reject the spirit of the holidays!” You shout.

“It smells like old cum and body odor in here.” Ryoko objects holding her nose.

“You do not yet see? THEN I SHALL SHOW YOU ONE WHOSE FATE IS WORSE THAN SAD!” You say grabbing Ryoko and pulling her with you once more into the portal of infinity. Hold on, I normally give options here and—“YOUR OPTIONS ARE FOR THOSE WHO HAVE A CHOICE! I MUST ALWAYS BE FUEGO, NO MATTER WHAT YOU DESIRE!”

You smash through the shrine and see Risa sitting under her tree, using it for shelter from the heavy snowfall. She takes a deep sniff, then looks up in the sky. “Risa.” Jager says walking over the snow. “Did Ryoko not show?” Risa shakes her head. “Ah, well nothing we can do about it.” Jager finishes.

“Imma wait a bit more.” Risa says.

“We have more food inside you know.” Jager says.

Risa shakes her head. “Ryoko will spend time with me. I know it.”

Jager sighs and pulls out a plate full of food. “Well here. Try to stay warm okay? And eat something, too. I’m going to get some eggnog.”

“I’ll eat half. Half is for Ryoko.” Risa says.

“Do you see?!” You ask.

“Why would she—“ Ryoko starts.

“DO YOU SEE OR DO I BLIND YOU LIKE THE FALLEN STAR OF OLD!?” You demand lifting her.

“Christ!” Caede flinches. “I hear you! People value me and I am squandering it! What’s the big deal if I do?” Ryoko wonders.

We should give the—“Your options are nothing to HE WHO BURNS! THIS IS THE PERFECT TRANSITION! FLY CHILD!” You shout and throw her through time.

She breaks several barriers of sound, light, and time, then crashes in her home. You laugh as you leap through the universe and make it back.

“Time for Christmas yet to come.” You say and send me on my way.

-

You are Sin-Fin, and you are currently in a large black robe. It’s heavy, hot, and honestly being in it is suffering. You mope over to Ryoko’s house and find her waiting for you on the bed. “You this time? Going to show me everyone being sad?” She wonders.

You glance around, panic a little, and then just it slide off you like water off a ducks back. “Ducks are… nice.” You say. “But the ones at… the pond do not… like me very… much.”

“What?” Ryoko asks.

That’s—okay. Just use the gem thing. You lift the gem and look at it. You do not know how to use it, so you shake it a little, get sort of annoyed, then throw it at the wall. It bounces back and hits your head knocking you over. “I deserved… that.” You say glumly.

Ryoko looks like she isn’t sure what to do with you right now, but you ignore her and lift up the gem. You send energy into it and a portal opens. You grab her arm and weakly pull her along into the future. You are not certain where to get off, so you just pick a random point in the future. Everything is grey, and there is the strangest stink of energy around the world. You look at a group of mourners walking past and they seem to be laughing. Everyone is laughing.

“Hey, what’s all this?” Ryoko wonders.

You look at her, then towards the graveyard. You raise a hand and point towards a hill. Ryoko lets out a huff and walks over to the graveyard. She grumbles about the fog, then gets close enough to read the headstone. "Here lies Ryoko: She never scored with her sensei”

Ryoko frowns. “Hey, is this a joke? They turned my headstone into a joke? Sensei wouldn’t do this would she?” She asks.

You glance around as the fog licks you in several inappropriate ways. You wave the fog away and reveal a sky full of light. It burns brighter than any sun, and stings harsher than any light. “Ah damn it! Stop that!” Ryoko snarls and you let the fog close back in.

>>36965549

>>36965572

The ghost of Christmas future is supposed to show them the consequences of a life poorly lived. Past is a fond reminiscence of a time before and a reflection on how things changed for the worse. Present is in contrasting one's own life with the lives of others made richer in the absence of their principle vice and to see how others would be made richer by your magnanimity in changing.

Future is the time of regret, when the true cost of one's vice comes full circle and irrevocable. The destruction of the self offers a small window through that mounting despair to glimpse the woes and ills of others in a more clear light, to see how small changes in the hear and now might yield an infinitely better tomorrow.

Yet, this story missed the linking components in the second act to complete the evolution of tragedy in the third act and to offer a chance of redemption in the fourth act.

“What is this?” Ryoko demands.

“You died.” You answer.

“That isn’t fair.” Ryoko grumbles.

You look around. “It is the… only thing that is fair.” You say.

“Take me to sensei. She would make this okay!” Ryoko demands.

“O… kay.” You say and lead her away from there.

She holds up well considering she just saw her own grave. You make your way to the Shrine and see Risa getting a scolding from Jager while Ryoko stands to the side sighing. “See? This is just some joke.” Ryoko says.

You make your way over to them, and as soon as you get close everyone freezes. Risa looks at you, but there is something terribly wrong with her. Her eyes seem twisted, and devoured by infinity. She looks over at you and smiles. “What’s this? What’s this what’s this what’s this? This isn’t the plan. This ain’t what I had in mind. Oi, this is not the plan. This is not the plan!” She says.

Suddenly you realize that all of them have the same go juice signature. The same twisted insane go juice that makes you want to vomit all over the robe you don’t like that much. “Sensei, what’s going on?”

“How many times do I have to kill you before it takes? I wonder, we wonder, you wonder, I wonder.” Risa asks.

This is… less metaphor more nightmare fuel territory.

“What’s wrong with her?” Ryoko wonders.

“You’re wrong with her.” Jager says with the voice of Plant-bro.

You glance around.

Well, we may have a winner there. If nothing else, I'm pretty sure plant bro is an old one at this point.

He's got way more FB mojo than Risa, is probably stronger than us when it comes right down to it, though that goes for most of our allies with names.

Still, for having caused an apocalypse to get him back, we never pay attention to him, make use of him, or let him speak. Chances are, it will all come back to bite us in the end.

You glance around. The ground radiates Risa power, and you realize you felt something like this before. Back in The Garden, there was something that always had this feeling about them. “You are differe…nt.” You say.

“I am the Lord thy God, and you shall have none other before me, most of all that Lucy cunt I am cochairing with. I won you stupid cunt, but no. You didn’t get it. You don’t get it. You make Risa sad.” Risa sighs.

“Sensei, hey what’s all this?” Ryoko wonders.

“You died you know. My fault really, but it’s okay. I brought you back. I brought everyone back! Plus, hey, this time I have direct control over all of them! They won’t fuck up this time, they will listen to me! I can make them obey! Free will was the problem really, it was all so clear to me now. The stupid bastard, he let all of them choose to fuck up. Only I know best. Me, me, me.” Risa snickers. “But if you’re here you will mess it all up again. You will die again, and again, and again. You will go away, you will think life is suffering. You just needed to cheer the fuck up. We all needed to, so now everyone can only laugh! That was my first rule as God.”

The world laughs around you, and you see a flower twitching and growing under your feet. “Hey, sensei—“ Ryoko starts.

“You’re just too thick. Ah, hold on, this is Lucifer messing with me again right? Ha ha ha, trying to make me feel better about my life choices? Hey, hey I get it. This isn’t real. None of it is real.” Risa says and the flower blooms.

>>36966258
Fuck that. All of Risa's friends could attempt to get her attention instead of waiting for her to come to them. They don't. Risa has to go check on Sin-Fin, Jager, or Ryoko.

I think the only one whose actively sought her out might be Azzy.

It grows into a gore born flower and a figure of Risa is in its core. She laughs and fires out spikes, something you suspect she stole from Jager, and you grab Ryoko and fall into a shadow. You pull away, and summon up a portal through time, both of you tumbling through infinity as the Risa World tries to pull you back. You feel a secondary portal open, but as that future is not yet fact its powers are limited. You land in her room, and Ryoko coughs. “The fuck was that? What the fuck?!”

“It’s what happens when you… let people change. If you let the past control… you.” You say, deciding it was as good a metaphor as any. You did your best you did!

“That was the future, right? Should we tell someone? Hey, should we tell Risa to stop it?” Ryoko wonders.

“Is there a… point?” You ask. “Sometimes people do not care what happens in the… future. Even if they see it they will not… stop it. Like the World Wars. Like the environ…ment. Like the Titanic. It will happen even if you can see it because people… do not want to change. They like staying in the… past until the past is the same as the… future.”

“You saying I am like that?” Ryoko wonders.

“You are stuck on the past and use it as an excuse to avoid the… present. You will lose everything you have before you know it because you didn’t… do anything.” Sin-Fin explains.

Ryoko looks contemplative so I go and check up on Risa.

-

You are back to Risa! Some trip huh? “The future bit? What happened there, the portal got all woobly.” You say. Nothing just—hey, you’re a good kid.

“That’s, thanks?” You wonder.

Eventually Sin-Fin comes back with Ryoko in tow. The teenaged girl looks deep in thought as she pulls out a gift. “Here. Happy Christmas.” She says.

“Can I open it?” You wonder.

“Not until the morning!” Ryoko says looking at her watch. “So a few hours still.”

Speaking of a few hours, we have not bought anything for anyone. This is probably bad.

Fuck.. what does she like.. uh.. What do girls like.. Fuck.


Wait.. I've got it. Get Jager or Sin-fin to ask her what she wants for Christmas.. and while she's telling them we'll stand nearby pretending not to listen.. When in fact we're listening!

>>36966315
>Go out and get something! (What for who?)
How about instead buying something, we make something.

Knit sweaters/scarves/hats etc for everyone but especially Sin-Fin.

>>36966357
But who's to say Jager didn't already do that? She's taken up knitting.

Also.. wouldn't Risa make them out of like her organs or something?

>>36966274

GENIUS. We Shall Give Everyone the Greatest Gift. It is SO Good a Gift, that it doesn't just Come from the Heart... It IS our Heart. We can do that right? Grow a dozen hearts and put them in iceboxes? Right?

>>36966373
I don't know, we made our own Spider-Man costume.

My only other thought for a homemade gift would be to rip our heart out, and combine Fuego's heat with our gravity powers to turn it into a diamond.

Because that's how things work, right?

>>36966379
Lucifer doesn't lie. He said co-op mode and he damn well meant it. If Risa can keep up, then co-op mode it will be.

>>36966387

You could say it was a 'Risa falls, everyone dies' move...

>>36966315
GEt something soft and fluffy for Sin Fin, Ryoko need a punching bag or 12, Azzy gets a massive cake cookbook. Jaeger gets a whole big lab(which we'll steal from someone)

Could be God just went somewhere else after Risa called him out. "Here kid if you think you can do better, do so" Then he just sat back and watched, with popcorn.

We need to play Christmas rock at some point. Idemque is made of Risa-teeth, so it can probably shapeshift to look like a fucked up candycane guitar, at least for just on Christmas.

>>36966552
Went blanket mode engaged.
Jager will never really "Love" Risa. We should just get her an apology letter and promise not to bother her anymore. She only puts up with Risa out of pity.

Risa will be alone and unloved for her unlife and she should just get used to it. It's the best Christmas gift. Jager is no longer burdened by an extremely destructive mentally challenged child.

>>36966535

Last I checked, we were holding onto it for her. I'd prefer we didn't since saving something for someone who will never use it pisses me off something fierce.

>>36966592
That's more shitty grasp of Jager and Risa's relationship than wet blanket

>>36966315
>[] Let QM deal with it, you have to go to sleep and hope Santa knows you have been good
At least for Sin-Fin. The goat thing seems a bit overplayed.

>>36966620
Once the galaxy is saved or what have you everyone will collectively stop putting up with Risa's shit. That's really why, "They all died." Risa killed them.

>>36966643

>>36966643
They've been putting up with Risa's shit since well before anyone was aware of any really bad happenings. For the most part, they still aren't really all that aware of just how fucked things are.

I'm not sure if that would ruin his Christmas or not.

>>36966723

So they can find their own ass in the morning. Seriosly, what is the last productive thing they did that wasn't trying to stab us in the back?

>>36966731
No. It has to be far more dramatic. Like when we inevitably die we place all our loved ones inside it to save them.

>>36966793
Make jager do lots of Paperwork?

>>36966731

The ultimate expression of Risa's love would be to chop off a tail and turn it into an artifact. I just don't feel Jager is worth it. With all the lying, betrayal, insults and half-assed apologies, she is in the doghouse as far as I am concerned.

She owes Risa an apology and she owes everyone an end to this stupid deathwish of hers.

You reach into your inventory to grab some stuff! You get a fluffy blanket, some pajamas, and a “So you got a magical goat from the realm of Warrior Gods and you aren’t sure what they eat” book. She will probably get some use out of that. Lewdly? Dunno, the Norse were weird

For Ryoko you get her a Red Ryder Carbine Action 200-shot Range Model air rifle with a compass in the stock and this thing which tells time. You consider taking lewd photos, but it ends with the camera openly weeping on the ground for what you were doing, so that doesn’t really pan out. You get her something called the Glute Master, which probably is a work out thing to let her master her glutes?

For Jager you get a lab you may have stolen from the remains of a Mendel base. You hear some arguments about collar stuff, so you let that slide for now. You also get her a year pass to “World of Cakes”. She would probably like that.

Fuego gets coal and marble. Caede gets some adorable PJs, and a make-up kit because she is about the right age to be interested in that kind of stuff? You never use it so you don’t know. Also you include a note that any boys she attracts will be dealt with swiftly and without mercy.

42 gets a shot glass and a staggering amount of alcohol. You get Mari a massager of some kind, and also double up with giving Asmodeus a leg massager. You think that is good enough and wait for the day to come.

Our heart grew two sizes that day!

And so, Risa felt all warm and fuzzy inside, and perhaps understood a little more about the true meaning of Christmas; about how how her friends were more than just precious possessions who sometimes gave her even more precious possessions.

She also totally forgave Jäger about that time where she accidentally stuck a piece of tape on Risa's back, and caused her to totally freak out for 3 minutes.

Situate the statues in prominent Scrub locations so they can feel safe in the knowledge that Risa is watching.

You try reading the book, but nothing good comes from it! You accuse it of being a socialist, then stick it in your inventory for later fighting. You leap into the wrapping paper and wiggle your butt as you crawl through the wrapping paper. It makes a fun crinkling sound under your feets.

You quite enjoy the wrapping paper, and do your best to kill it, and you think you do a pretty good job at it. Finally they start cleaning up, and you sit on the chair and watch with large eyes as they make the crinkly sounds even though they should be dead!

Jager does. Yes, she just has a lot on her plate at the moment. Yes, it would expand her territory of Sin, as it were. Sort of give her a wider range of abilities, and maybe change her physical features some.

Concerned, it is an artifact of Sin, but also fairly curious. With this random stub? I am sorry, I am unclear about the tail end of this message. You are asking if I am planning on doing anything with the collar? I do have some plans for it.

What practical benefit will jager get out of the collar? Will it be the equivalent baseline utility as if we had given the collar to Caede or did we screw the pooch on giving it to Jager?

No real practical benefit as far as stats or things like that go. Would likely make her a bit more open to certain ideas, and more lascivious.

so it would increase her susceptibility to the peanut butter trick?

>>36967534
>No real practical benefit as far as stats or things like that go.

>>36967512

I would add on this that the choice seemed to indicate giving it to Caede was the right decision. A bunch of anons thinking with their dicks then voted to give it to Jager anyway in the hopes of getting into her pants, which has left me a bit salty, since bad decisions inevitably end in dickery most foul.

>>36967534
Is it too late to take up Byakuya's marriage proposal? He is a keeper and Yoruichi needs a father figure in her life

Just throwing it out there for anyone still here, Risa has 75spxp right now. Time Something Something Attack (the power that makes all our physical blows, which includes cero-weapons, hit twice) costs 70.

>>36967582
We also got the regen impairing skill to buy. I want both, the question is which to get first.

>>36967534

So, for practical purposes, it does nothing but help Jager get her rocks off and instigates lewd the MC can't take part in?

>>36967612
she does need help chilling out.

>>36967568
>>36967612
>Lewd
It would help with that, but that's not why I voted for it.

When we got the collar from Azzy, the big issue at the time was how Jager was being the tightest tightwad to ever wad. People were constantly complaining about it.

So then Azzy gives us a chill-the-fuck-out-and-loosen-up collar and it looked really damn obvious that this was supposed to de-wad Jager.

I think it's kinda ridiculous that you're opening a salt mine about players making the "wrong" choice because Azure said that it would give Caede some mechanical bonuses.

I'm not going to pretend to be innocent of it, but this situation right here is just so fucking petty. Since when has Risa, or anyone really, ever cared about powerleveling Caede? I can think 2 or 3 times we decided to toss her some demon corpses because we thought seeing her change would be neater than a couple spxp, which means that this guy values solving Jagers issues about as highly as a few spxp and then he has the temerity to accuse anyone who disagrees with him of being a dickthinker.

Barely related, but this one is both pretty dangerous and rather unnecessary. She's the only one who gets any solid bonuses from eating demons and so there's no real competition with Risa for food. She can level fine on her own.

Imagine, if you will, Risa's reaction upon discovering Jager in a Ryoko style orgy pile without inviting her because she still hasn't figured out being lewd. It would be both heartbreaking and hilarious.
Of course I'm just spit-balling here, really anything could happen.

>>36967780
>We could always just feed Caede the Hellwyrm. That would solve all problems.
The thought of doing that really worries me. Right now Caede seems to mostly just put up with Risa's bullshit because Risa's fairly strong. Risa may be the runt of the litter when you look at the big dogs only, but she's still big enough to cow pretty much anything that's on the smaller dog side of the spectrum.

It makes me wonder: What happens when Caede gets a foot in the door? Would she really put up with Risa's shit if she was Risa-tier herself?

Yeah, she'd still be pretty shit outta luck 1v1 because Angelparts get type advantage on Demonmeats, and Risa probably could count on (a very sad) plantdoka, Ryoko, Jager, and SinFin to back her in Risa vs Caede, but Caede is a smart little fucker that knows a lot and if she gets some serious oomph to her poomph and decides that she wants to do some damage, well she gonna do some damage.


Or I could just be being overly paranoid and Caede would want to stay on the free-snacks gravytrain of corpses that is hanging around Risa. Probably also doesn't want to get murdered by the aforementioned group either. Still tho. Paranoia and shit.

>>36967856
I like to imagine that Risa would just start screaming things she heard in crummy romance movies and interpreting it literally. Like "well why don't you just tear my heart out because it weeps for you!!!" while she pelts them with organs that are growing eyeballs that are sobbing.

Would Caede get dragony from the HW? Or would it make her kinda shapeshifty? Or would it be more of a supermegaultrachocolatelydexule boost to her hellfire? I'm thinking it'd be the hellfire mainly, but ya never know.

>>36967860
Oh no, you're not the only one. I'm thinking of exactly the same. Let's not forget that during our last Bad End she ended up ruling Hell. That's at the very least on the same tier and Risa's ambitions. When our dear little Caede gets some serious firepower, I can see her easily taking whatever she wants. Like Beelzebub. Her loyalty is suspect.

>>36967881
I'm sorry, man. I want Risa to stand at the top. The Wyrm is just necessary for that. I'm sure she can be satisfied with just Beelze's lieutenants when we take the fight to him!

>>36967796
>>36967856
Yeah I'm just not really sure it would be a good idea, given that Jager seems... fairly susceptible to demonic corruption.

Like I kind of feel like the Collar would make her much less mentally and emotionally stable.

>>36967780

I am for levelling Caede. She loves Fuego, and Fuego is a good man. She also cares about the people in the shrine. We need more power, and she is our best weapon for retaking Hueco. Besides, hellfire wyrm is apparently wasted on us. Maybe angel assassin would be a better fit.

>>36967895
She's a demon of Greed. She's probably even more ambitious about controlling everything than Risa is considering Azure said that Risa's angelic bone script listed her sins and Greed wasn't the highest.

>>36967871
I would find that really funny, but I'm also pretty sure it is just as likely to cause a shit storm in the thread for all the Jager-waifus, and I'd very much like to avoid shit storms if I can.

Happen to remember the details?

>>36967907
>hellfire wyrm is apparently wasted on us
No, it's not. Caede gets an affinity multiplier for it but that doesn't mean it's no good for Risa.

Remember at the start of the powerleveling arc when Natsuki straight up told us that just eating the hellwyrm would bump us up well over Luci's minimum powerlevel standards? That's from weaker than Loki all the way up to stronger than Amon.

I hate it when anons let baseless paranoia guide them

>>36967899
I can see that happening pretty easily too. We already have had problems with her being controlled and used against us, and I'd really be put out if that happened again.

She would get a massive boost to hellfire certainly. She would also devour a large amount of his base stats, and gain a large amount of his magic.

She would take all she can! She hungers!
>>36967895
I can see where you're coming from.
>>36967907
Ha ha, we just have to trust Fuego! He will never lead anyone wrong!

>>36967881

Why aren't you half as generous on Risa snacks as you seem to be with all the NPCs? What I mean is, I never see Risa compatible components, only stuff that would be so totally, amazingly awesome for the side characters.

>>36967959
Do we have any way of tracking the angelic hitman?

>>36967945
I hate it when anons don't let anything guide them and just go with the first idea that pops into their heads.

>>36967945
Actually I think things have been better lately. These threads have been a lot more calm, I akmoust miss people always min maxing or throwing shit over every stupid decision.

Risa is eating the Hellwyrm. them pagans ain't an infinite resource and the ginormous bump we would get, they might let us out of the kiddie Gods table.

>>36967974
I'd say part of it is that we're a lot stronger than them so we don't have a lot farther to grow, or if we do, it takes a lot more to get results.

>>36967937
Details? Details to what? I would love to give details to you if I knew what I was detailing.

>>36967982
Eh, I'd like to see how much eating Izanagi gets us, after we help Sin-Fin befriend Izanami.

Also still eventually do an attack on the Spirit King, though I worry we already missed our chance on that.

>>36967979
rampant fear gave us DESTRUCTION Jager

>>36968000
Destruction Jager came from one anon samefagging while everyone else argued instead of voting.

>>36967995
we can eat both Hellwyrm and Izanami

>>36967995
We need more power before attacking S0. Power that we aren't likely to get if people insist on giving away all the best targets for reasons.

>>36967942

Read the pastebin please. Azure said we are not compatible with HW. Caede, on the other hand would become strong, but not stronger, than us this way. Her power set is useful, and she would be extremely strong against demons.

She also is a nice girl no matter what kind of front she tries to put up. There is no reason for her to betray us.

>>36968007
and that samefag was afraid
being called paranoid isn't a compliment for a reason

>>36968011
Izanagi I mean

>>36968000
Being careless killed us twice, put the Royal Realm out of bounds indefinitely, almost made best scrub disappear, and I'm sure there's a lot more.

>>36968024
>Read the pastebin please.
You mean the ask? I did read that and you're full of shit. Risa can eat the HW and she would get a big boost from it. Caede would just get a bigger boost.

The incompatibility means that Risa just won't get the chance to steal his busted powers directly. She'll still get a metric assload of raw spxp.

>>36968031
I chalk up rap battle to player QM disconnect

>>36968024

The ask, I mean.

A few reasons. One they are weaker than you are so the effects are more noticeable when they jive. Two Risa has some rarer parts so they are harder to find parts that resonate as it were with her.

Also she does get some pretty cool powers and such.
>>36967977
Yes. It would take some doing, but you could find them.

>>36968024
You're blatantly ignoring what Natsuki said.

>>36968040
I chalk it up to players being morons who thought they can just do whatever dumb idea gets into their heads and everything will go fine. I might add Charlotte's death to the list, but that wasn't a big loss.

Also in the interest of fairness, I will add some things paranoia cost us. It stopped us from getting Lucifer's power up, and put the Mod Soul Army on ice. Though I forget if either of those things really would have worked out for us.

>>36968063
>Though I forget if either of those things really would have worked out for us.
Luci powerup was confirmed to have been totally legit. Woulda just given Risa angel grace earlier and added some Luci-like abilities to her angel tree.

We still don't know if the Mod Soul Army woulda worked.

>>36968075
>and added some Luci-like abilities to her angel tree
Now I want to know.

>>36968075
Were we told what effect that would have to our Fallen Corruption?

Would it have made us immune to Lucifer's aura? Or the opposite of that, and our corruption gains sapience and tries to kill us like Eldritch Risa.

>>36968042

Azure, you have created a monster, and I feel it is your responsibility to slay it. Paranoia and the anger it brings are cancer to the quest. That said is it likely you would institute a shit storm by having Caede betray us for reasons at the first taste of power we give her?

>>36968063
it was thread 6 and the setting and tone was still getting set in place. the death was caused by poor planning AND poor rolls.

concern is a fine thing to have, I'm just not going hit the brakes and panic because someone thinks something bad might happen with no warnings.

too much, not enough. people don't think at the right amount.

>>36968100
I really didn't think I would have to repeat this, but it's not killing the quest. It's a lack of caution that kills the quest, because their foolishness killed us twice and almost ended the quest both times.

Twice, this happened.

>>36968118
overly paranoid is just the opposite end of the bad times pendulum.

>>36968056

Which was? Keep in mind, Natsuki is not our friend.

>>36968106
Alright fine, how about the Ryouichi incident?

It was one of the few times I missed participating in a thread, and it haunts me to this very day.

...Also, how would the demon university investigation be categorized? Too paranoid or too foolhardy? I'm not sure how we fucked up there.

>>36968134
Oh right, also I forgot to add Fenrir: Round One as a time when paranoia foiled us, because I really didn't think we would be allowed to beat something as legendary as Fenrir at any point in time, and his not being at full power was only to give us time to escape.

That was my bad.

Though then again, had we slew him then, I'm pretty sure we wouldn't have been able to drag his carcass to Jager, which means we would have eaten him instead. And then how would Jager have been twice as wolf?

>>36968133
>“Well, that answers that at least. How strong is the Wyrm? Like, compared to the fallen or whatever.” You say crossing your legs.

>“I don’t know. They use a different standard of power so figuring it out might be difficult. Strong, at least. Strong enough if you ate him you would probably meet Lucifer’s deadline.” She hints smiling.

She also has literally no reason to lie.

I think some people are just trying to be cautious and are looking at it from a different perspective.

I don't particularly think Caede has done anything to indicate she would betray you at this point. The worst thing she has done so far is say Risa's name is sort of silly.

>>36968134
I remember saying AE we could have survived/won but we made the wrong choice by taking our attention off of him.

I missed Demon school thread so I dunno.
