vivarium | All I Want For Christmas Is Calhoun

Well, it's yet another day of AB Rounds. For anyone keeping track, it's been three days since their second Calhoun Hour event, so they're back to playing in these terrible puzzle rooms. Calhoun even calls everyone to the second floor so time to trek along...

But instead of finding a brand new set of doors, everyone will find... Christmas decorations?

A small Christmas tree in the centre, obnoxious flashing lights on the walls, a table full of food, and is that a snow machine in the corner? There's even holiday-themed songs playing, such as 'All I Want For Christmas Is Calhoun', 'Joy to Calhoun', 'Silent Test Subjects', and, of course, 'We Wish You A Merry Betrayal'. (Well... mostly holiday-themed. At least they have the same tune, so if you can just ignore the lyrics, it'll be close enough.)

Dressed in a Santa Claus outfit, Calhoun sits in a large red chair in the back and yells at everyone to come closer. He strokes his fake beard (which... he put over his gas mask...) as he speaks.

"Meeeeeerry Christmas, test subjects! Welcome to my holiday party! Because I'm such a saint, I took it upon myself to spread some cheer and joy into you dull bunch. You're so depressing sometimes, I have to wonder who died," he snickers to himself. "Anyway! I'm pushing back the Ambidex Rounds by a few days. I know, I know, I'm disappointed too! But I'm only one mouse, so you can't rush these things. So, you can have this party in the meanwhile."

"Also, since it's Christmas, I'm letting everyone choose one gift for themselves and their beeeeestest friend. Of course, I have final say on whether you can get it or not, so don't get your hopes up, but Lord Calhoun, just how do I get these gifts, you may say. It's quite simple! Just sit on my warm lap and tell me how kind and giving I am, then you can have your present! Isn't that nice?"

"So, get to it! Hee-ho-ho!"

"Wha... you just said it was strange!" Shut up about how he was a moe schoolgirl who'd never dated anyone before, dammit Hershel, worst friend ever. WHAT HAPPENED TO NOT BEING A SHITLORD.

"Anyway, decorations go up all over the place, and ya eat noodles, and I guess Kouhaku comes on during New Year's eve. It's this show where a bunch of female music artists and a bunch of male ones all compete for the Red and White battle.

"On the actual day, you gotta live it like you want the whole rest of the year to go. Um... I guess you visit a shrine, and then there's all kinds of special food you eat, like mochi. Oh yeah, and the temples all ring their bells 108 times for each of the 108 human sins."

Look he never said not a shitlord forever okay. Embrace your inner moe schoolgirl. "I meant more... unexpected, is all." Hershel assured him, what a friend.

"From what I recall we mostly just celebrate on the stroke of midnight, nothing as involved as all that. Is it more religious of an event over there, with the temples and such?" He asked, rather than continue to call Heiji a moe schoolgirl so merry christmas, friend.

"A lot of Japanese traditions have roots in Buddhism or Shinto, but... for most people, I think it's just somethin' they do and they don't even think about it that much. Like in America they say 'oh my god' all right time, yeah? But that ain't mean whoever it is is super religious."

At least he was pretty sure it didn't, who knew about Americans man.

"Of course, one of the nicer things about it is the girls in kimono."
