Who: The Investigation Team and Nanako plus one death goddess.
Where: Yu and Nanako's apartment.
Summary: The IT celebrates Christmas together away from home... more or less.
Warnings: Yu trying to keep up his mission to bring a Green Christmas to Hinoto-ri. Horrible singing. lulz

It was a bit rushed and last minute -- and most of the work had to be done by other people because a certain grey haired leader was currently acting like an idiot -- but the apartment that Yu and Nanako shared was currently decked out for the winter holiday. Streamers hung around door frames and windows, and someone had even managed to bring in a little fake pine tree to be decorated.

There's also food, of course, though how good it is depends greatly on who cooked it. Taste with care, least you end up poisoned on Christmas.

It might not seem very festive at the moment, especially considering the current state (and presence) of certain individuals... but that will change at midnight at least.

As a matter of fact, the key has nothing whatsoever to do with Nano's continued function. Like all of her attachments, it's just there because it's cute and funny.

"Oh, thank you!" Nano replies, smiling and handing him the tray. "It's nice to meet you too."

She certainly seems like a cute and funny person!

Yosuke takes the tray carefully, balancing it on his hands before he brings it over to the table with the other food. "How did you meet Rise-chan by the way?"

She certainly has both qualities in spades, especially if you're the sort of person who enjoys watching someone who is easily panicked freak out about something. Her roommates back home sure seem to get a kick out of it, anyway.

"Oh! We met the day she arrived in the city. I responded to her first message."

"Oh, cool~ Well this is the rest of the team here, we're all part of what we dubbed the Investigation Team, we all came from the same world. Our leader is the miserable one on the couch over there with his hands tied behind his back."

Yosuke motions to the still struggling Yu, who was being watched like a hawk.

"He's not really himself right now."

Nano glances over, her face immediately adopting a look of concern.

"...Is he going to be all right?"

"Eventually, I guess. He's been kinda brainwashed by the Pyro Jacks, so he's a little nuts right now. But he's harmless, really. We just can't untie him or else he'll try jumping out a window again."

As funny as this sounds, Yosuke actually looks kind of upset that his best friend is all jacked up in the head like that.

"Brainwashed?"

That doesn't sound good at all! Nano looks worried, but apparently things are already under control...?

"I hope he feels better soon..."

"We're taking care of it. It should wear off at midnight, apparently. If it doesn't, we've got someone who can fix it during the Thirteenth Hour." Though to be honest he'd rather not rely on her for this kind of stuff... Ugh.

"I'll try to properly introduce you when he's actually himself sometime. He's a pretty cool guy usually."

"All right."

Nano nods, her expression softening back into a smile. She's loosening up a bit in general, having been quite nervous when she walked in. But everyone here seems friendly, and no one has asked her about her key.

"Well then, please help yourself to some cookies."
