[The video feed opens to reveal a very stoic-looking monster. She's standing in front of an igloo with a large snowboard in hand.]

Merry Christmas. I am offering lessons of the snowboarding for interested people. Will be starting tomorrow morning.

One condition. You must not be holding feelings of violence towards yetis. [There are reasons behind this -- mostly because they may be snowboarding on hills that yetis frequent often.]

This holiday is for the giving to less fortunate, yes? Will make igloos for those people who are still being homeless.

[She's very excited to finally partake in the festivities -- can't you tell?]

So, uh. Hypothetical question.

[ Time travel wasn't exactly his field of expertise back in his time (or perhaps his world), so he's hoping to find someone who does know what they're talking about. ]

Say I go back to the early twenty-first century. What are the odds of finding something from my world, that the Initiative apparently knew enough about to give me this?

[ He holds up his xenothium-infused dagger that he received from them... how long ago was it? It felt like a year, but hell if he was keeping track. It was a jagged-edged dagger with a red blade, that seemed to glow in the dark. There was also an X-shaped marking on the grip, just about where the center of the palm of his hand would be. This thing here was the reason why he didn't need the raw xenothium ore to power his suit. ]

'Course, I don't know if they got the chemical compound from this world, or mine. It's not exactly easy, or safe, to make. But if I could get my hands on the materials needed to create the stuff, it might be useful. And not just to me.

Oh, and uh. Merry Christmas I guess.

[ Since he's actually asking for something for someone else, he needs to at least try to sound nice about it. ]

[Seiya has the tablet set up so the edges of the video feed are also the edge of the room. Behind her is Lyra the Harp, seen at right, who is one of Lucy Heartphilia's ([personal profile] celestial_wizard) Celestial Spirit friends. She is at the ready with harp tuned and Seiya has no mic, but hey small room will echo just fine over the feed. Seiya is dressed in her stage suit (seen at left) that she came into Exsil with since this is indoors. All around them is a circle on the floor of unlit lanterns made from.]

Seiya: Good evening, everyone! It's Christmas Day and I know I've only known some of you a short time, but I think many of us have something in common: people we miss very much. Thanks to Miss Lyra here, I've been able to prepare a small set for all of you tonight. My name is Kou Seiya, of the band Three Lights in Japan, and I hope you enjoy our short Christmas Day show! [A quick turn off-camera as she whispers with a smile] Lea, Tsuzuki, if you please? [With that she walks back to stand by Lyra and nods] 1,2...

[The ring of lanterns light up one after another and Lyra begins playing the first song and Seiya introduces it.]

#1- Tatsuro Yamashita: Christmas Eve )

#2- Dreams Come True: Winter Song )

#3- Fairy Tail: Hoshiboshi no Uta )
[English lyrics transliterated into a duet by [personal profile] frudence with creative licensing due to stuff Lea told her in this thread. Regular text is Seiya; italics in parenthesis are Lyra singing; bold is both.]

[When Seiya starts singing, if you are looking for any deeper meaning to the music, or Seiya as a person, or really enjoy the music, you can see a backlit visage of Seiya's princess in your mind per her Musical Telepathy Ability.]

Hey there my old friend, / I can see you (You see me?)
Standing right there / just beyond my reach
Hey there my old friend, / I will swear this (You swear it?)
We have a bond that will not / ever break

When you're out walking / (The wilderness is too vast...)
You're holding back all your tears- / You're so close to tomorrow!
For your sake I'll be the star / (From my childhood...)
Shining a light / and guiding you home

For your sake I'll sing this song / (You wrote it for me?)
All that I ask: / smile once more

[During the instrumental from the video]
Hey there my old friend, / I can see you (You see me?)
Standing right there / just beyond my reach
Hey there my old friend,
/ I will swear this (You swear it?)
We have a bond that will not / ever break

[Both during the ending vocalization from the video]
For your sake I'll be the star / looking ever on
Shining a light / and guiding you home


[Japanese lyrics from here]

[And with that Seiya and Lyra bow, then let the lanterns dim and fade out. They will, however, keep the feed on to respond, after they turn on the regular lights.]
