Oh GOD.

MAKA, PAPA ALMOST GOT EATEN BY A.... FAT... BADGER OR SOMETHING, BUT HE'S OKAY, SO DON'T WORRY! A-assuming he can get back out of this building before it comes back.

_{Oh man this is disgusting, there's like... giant... wet dog food pieces in my hair.}

Ah, the talk about letters to Santa and everything just reminds me how I used to help Maka write hers when she was little~♥ She'd always ask for picture books and stuff, even before she could really read them. Always smart, practical things, and it was so weird to me, 'cause when I was her age, I was just asking for toy cars and candy.

She and her mama made the cutest cookies, too! In all kinds of shapes with frosting and sprinkles~~~ They'd always set out the cookies and milk with a little note to Santa right before she went to bed~~~♥

U-until after that year I got distracted by that girl in the elf costume at the store and maybe drank a little too much egg nog with her and forgot to put out the presents and eat the cookies when I got home and Maka thought Santa had hated her cookies and I had to make up some story about him leaving the presents in the wrong room and my wife made me sleep on the couch for a month and why the hell am I talking about this in public


...Honestly, the whole holiday season's a little tougher than I thought it'd be, even if this place isn't exactly bursting with festive music and decorations as reminders.

Speaking of the few decorations there are, though, why are there never any women around when I'm near any mistletoe here? I spent like, forty minutes standing under it yesterday and waiting for someone to come by, but only men ever showed up so I just had to keep running and hiding behind things.


Well. So long as it's better than our last Christmas though, right? Jeez, I know the timing's weird here, but it's still hard to believe so much time has passed already.

WHAT THE HELL?

First we get a member of Arachnophobia, and now today we get half the known universe? Jeez, is there even enough food for all these people in this shitty town?

AND HERE'S A NOTICE FOR ALL YOU NEWCOMERS---

IF ANY OF YOU SEE A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG GIRL WITH BLONDE PIGTAILS AND PURITY LIKE A NEW FLOWER, THAT'S MY DAUGHTER, AND IF ANY OF YOU BASTARDS TOUCH HER, YOU'RE GONNA BE LOOKING AT A WORLD OF PAIN.


--That aside, if any of the PRETTY LADIES who just got here need a place to stay, there is always room for you in my apartment~~~~!

...




STEIN, I'M FUCKING SERIOUS.

OUCH, what the-- It hasn't been that long, has it?

[sigh]

For as boring as this place can be on those rare occasions when there isn't a bunch of shit going down, time goes by pretty fast, huh? Maka's been here almost two months already -- two beautiful months and I'm prouder of you every day, Maka~~~ -- and I've been here for... what, three and a half?

[a long pause]

It's been four months since--


This place sucks.

Maka, I love you ♥

I'll be back soon, all right?

Ugh, jeez, I was too busy vomiting earlier to even try talking, but apparently I've got this whole compulsive-truth-telling thing going on too. Either that or I'm still delirious. S-someone tell me if I am? Preferably one of you who isn't lying today. ...God, I hope this is temporary.

BUT!

MAKA, PAPA CAN PATHETICALLY ATTEMPT TO PROVE HIS LOVE TO YOU NOW~! W-wait, that--

PAPA LOVES YOU AND YOUR MAMA MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THE WHOLE WORLD~~~~♥

LOOK MAKA IT'S TRUE

Jeeeez, as good as it is to finally get a break, I've got to agree with the general sentiment -- It is boring here when we're not trying not to die. We could sure as hell use a decent club like the one back home. It's so hard to unwind in this stupid place. adksjfjj god how long has it even

Makaaaaaa~~~~~~~~~~♪ What do you say we head out to the abandoned stores sometime and pretend we're going shopping for something really fun? ♥ I can spend as much pretend money on pretend clothes and books as you want~~~!

My Maka is here~~~~~♥

STEIN. If you're not stuck in here with the rest of us, you'd better get her and take care of her. I... trust you with that job more than anyone else.

EVERYONE ELSE IN THIS STUPID CITY. IF YOU TOUCH MY LITTLE GIRL, I DON'T NEED TO BE ABLE TO TURN INTO A WEAPON TO KICK YOUR ASS.



Shit, she doesn't need to be here. Maybe it was hard being out of touch with her before, but if this place hurts her, I...
