[Look! It's a wild Kotetsu! And he's even looking festive for the holidays, with his usual tie swapped out for a red one with white and green snowflakes, and there's a reindeer on his blazer.]

Heeeey you guys. Merry Christmas! Happy holidays. Happy something at least...

--So uh, with Christmas so soon and all and the earthquake stuff and that great care package idea, I was thinking. If any of you guys have been having a hard time moneywise, cause of pulse stuff making you have to quit your jobs or life just sucking in general? Lemme know. Like, if anyone still needs a place to stay and aren't covered by the safehouses already? I've got some room. I mean, mostly it'd be a couch and the floor, but I've got a lotta extra pillow and blankets and stuff and I could probably swing a couple sleeping bags or some of those fold-up cots or something.

At the least you'd get a roof, and--[A beat. A self-deprecating chuckle.] well, a home-cooked meal'd be a lie, cause I can't cook for shit, but going out to dinner could be a thing if you'd like.

[There's. A pause! Kotetsu scritches at his cheek briefly, considering.]

...Ooooor even if you don't need any of that and could just use a little extra help making sure your friends and family get gifts this year. Consider it kinda like my blanket gift to the whole network, aa? Since I don't know all of you personally.

[The man that speaks sounds very British. (It's actually a Ferelden accent, but it sounds British.)]

I've been on the phone all day to ... a lot of different people. Holiday and all. But it turns out that the only ones I can ask about this are all of you.

[Which he doesn't sound very happy about. DEEP BREATH:]

Demonic possession. Does anyone know anything about it?

[A pause.]

... Since I'm asking for information.... I got some antipsychotics the other day. But this network is still here, so I don't think they work. Just in case anyone else was considering that route.

[ working at a grocery store means working christmas day. working at a bed and breakfast means working christmas night. working, in this case, means being sociable with a pleasant-enough elderly couple who lost their condo in the earthquake and are rolling in enough dough to stay at a b&b for now.

after everything is cleaned up and put away, angeline squirrels away to her room, only to experience the hollowing sensation of an echo before she gets inside. perplexed and just the slightest bit concerned, she continues to her bedroom, only to find a set of clothes lying haphazardly on her bed. given that her room is locked in her absence, their appearance strikes her as doubly odd.

was it... blood keys? the only other time she had experienced that hollowing sensation had been in their presence. she nervously creeps to the window, as if she could detect an intruder if there were one, but comes up with nothing. she searches the room, but finds nothing missing.

finally, she glances at her notebook.

grabbing it and a pen, she leans against the headrest of her bed and writes her network number down.

in slanted script: ]

Someone left some clothes on my bed. They must have done it within the last hour because the clothes weren't there the last time. Is this the work of Blood Keys?

Are any of you Blood Keys?

Sorry, I'm new.
