[Time for Wonderland's fifth annual Japanese KFC Christmas! The diner has been decorated just like everything else in the Mansion. Of course, like every year, Souji's made his own additions, with Minato's help. They've dragged out the Colonel (it took them several tries to get one that wasn't made of gingerbread) and in the background of the feed, Minato is stringing him with twinkling fairy lights.

Souji isn't helping. Sitting at the counter in front of a small army of strawberry Santas, he's holding one in one hand, looking at it from all angles, as though deciding which direction it's best to attack from. To the side are several undecorated Christmas cakes, which Minato will be tending to once he's finished helping the Colonel get dressed.

Realizing the device is recording, Souji sits up a bit straighter, because he totally wasn't slacking off.]

The diner's ready for anyone who wants to eat fried chicken. [He smiles a little. In the background, Minato waves to the camera.] We do this every year, but if you weren't here before, it's a tradition from home. In Japan--the Japan I'm from anyway--we eat fried chicken and Christmas cake each year.

We'll be making it from now until Christmas, as long as things stay like they are now.

[I.e. without too much ridiculous chaos going on.]


[Note: Both Minato and Souji will answer responses (separately from one another). Feel free to have Mirrors wander in as well. There is enough chicken and cake for everyone.]

[Is she not paying attention to the cartoon recovery at all?]

Which is why I'm asking for a ride to the cafe?

[naughty_nurse]

[PANIC MODE MAKES IT HARD TO THINK. AND SEE. AND HEAR. see, icon with shut eyes.]

You can't go to the cafe like this! You need to stay in one place! Away from people! Until you're normal!

[video]

[shslliar]

Tsumiki-chan! Would you stop panicking for a second and listen to me?!

[Look, if he has to put on that evil leader hat to get her to focus, so be it.]

I've been handling myself just fine so far! Freaking out like that is only gonna make it harder for the both of us!

It's not like I'm the only one stuck like this anyway!

[video]

[naughty_nurse]

O-Others?! Oh no! W-where?!

[Now she's afraid to move, lest she step on someone.]

[video]

[shslliar]

[He sighs the heaviest sigh a guy his size can sigh.]

Quit worrying already. We can't get hurt right now, remember? If someone got squished, they'd just pop right back up.

[video]

[naughty_nurse]

... Oh.

[That does calm her down a bit.]

Oh, that's right...

[video]

[shslliar]

So.... It'll be fine!

I just need you to take me to the diner because otherwise it would take forever for me to walk there.

[video]

[naughty_nurse]

... O-Okay. I'll head right over.

[video > action]

[shslliar]

Great! Meet me in the tea room on the fifth floor!

[He walks up to the phone and turns it off.]

[When she arrives, she will find a tiny Kokichi lounging against a smartphone that was leaning against a teapot. He seems to be okay with the circumstances he's in.]

[naughty_nurse]

[Eventually she makes it there, walking inside carefully in case he wound up on the floor. She doesn't want to step on him.]

H-Hello...?

[shslliar]

[He isn't on the floor, don't worry! He grins and waves her over.]

Hey! Over here!

[naughty_nurse]

Ah!

[She scoots towards the table.]

You really are small... I can't believe it!

[shslliar]

[He backs up a bit so he can get a good look at her face and not... Well.]

Really? You can't believe people can be shrunk? After being in Wonderland for how long?

[naughty_nurse]

That's a brand new thing! Wonderland never repeats itself!

[shslliar]

Oh! So this is just some once in a lifetime chance or something?

[Smiiiiirk.]

Still, we both know it's possible now!

[naughty_nurse]

Uuu... I really hope this event ends soon... Even if we can't die, it's very troublesome!

[shslliar]

Aw... You're still worried about lil' ol' me?

[naughty_nurse]

Of course I am! You're my friend!

[1/2]

[shslliar]

[... That makes him pause for a moment. She... Really thinks that?]

[Sure, he thought she was an ally before. But... He seems kind of bewildered as he looks up at her.]

Yeah... Thanks!

[2/2]

[shslliar]

[He suddenly runs up to the edge of the table, taking care not to get too close and fall off.]

So, ya ready to head out to the cafe?

[He might be a little shocked inside, but now he's all smiles.]

[naughty_nurse]

O-Okay, but... how should I carry you? I d-don't want to trip you!

[shslliar]

Uh...

[He glances up and down, trying to figure something out.]

You got pockets?

[naughty_nurse]

Oh, yes! Usually they're fill of gauze and needles and other medical necessities, but since they all turned into cookies and sweets, I emptied them out.

[shslliar]

Sounds kind of weird, but that's perfect!

[Ready to pick him up?]

[naughty_nurse]

Okay... Um... let's see...

[She holds her hands out on the table so he can walk on.]
