Everyone, we're coming up on a very important day, the last of its kind before we turn over to a new year.

As with all such momentous occasions, I think we at the Villa should host a holiday party. On that date, precisely.

[This is actually a message intended for other Villa residents, but whatever, the rest of the bubble will get to enjoy the rare sight of the young reaper looking, dare we say, a little jolly? A little affected by holiday spirit?

Actually, more like he's being a fanboy.]

Of course, I'm speaking of December twenty-first, being the last day of the year that is a perfect palindrome, the numbers of the month being a mirror-image of the date.

[Good old 12/21.

Death the Kid's fingers, gloved and interlaced, tuck up under his chin as he exhales with contentment (and a little longing, that total weirdo), letting out a plume of steam. The moment is abruptly shattered by a snowball planting itself against the side of his head, startling him out of his reverie.

It's a good thing the SFC cuts out when it does. No one should witness the Snowball Retribution Apocalypse (Shinigami Version).]

...?

[One lengthy pause later.]

Ah, this is generally the part where you introduce yourself.

But...you're Death...the Kid...

[How does I feel talking to Death???]

That's right.

[And, with a tone that is blithely matter-of-fact on the subject:]

My father, being Lord Death, it should come as no surprise that I would carry on his name.

But you still haven't given me your name.

U-Um, right!

My name is Bianca, it's nice to meet you Death the Kid! It's...not everyday you get to meet the son of Death so, it's pretty interesting!

Of course not, you aren't a student of Shibusen, I suppose.

[Not to say every student there has met with his father personally, except through contacting him through the usual channels.]

A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Bianca.

[Hm...now that Bianca thought about it some more...]

It's nice to meet you too but I want to ask! Do you know Maka? You're a friend of hers right?

It seems quite a few of the foreigners of Vatheon are well acquainted with Maka.

Yes, although she has been a student of Shibusen longer than I, we're friends.

Then doesn't that mean...

Ah, you're Pip's owner right? [She finally got to meet the infamous Death the Kid!]

[The one and the same! There is an unmistakable note of pride when he replies; he's rather fond of the Eevee, who is presently leeching warmth from Kid's lap after chasing snow drifts for a little while.]

You're absolutely right. That, of course, begs the question of how you and Pip came to know each other. Do you visit the Villa often, or is it through your acquaintance with Maka, perhaps?

Huh, she never told you?

[But then again, Bianca hasn't seen Pip in a while after...that whole thing a couple of months ago]

I was talking to Maka a while ago about pokemon and I found out she had an Eevee! She wanted someone to help her take care of it so...why not? I'm a pokemon trainer myself so it seems to fit right?

This is the first I've heard of it, but any assistance you're willing to provide is welcome, Bianca.

[In fact, words like 'Eevee' and 'pokemon' are entirely new to him, which... really doesn't happen often. Someone with greater pride and less voracious curiosity might have been ashamed of their ignorance.

Kid just asks outright:] So Pip is an 'Eevee'? You train such intelligent creatures?

They're called pokemon and they're able to understand and feel exactly what we do!

I have a bunch of the pokemon with me so Pip can train along side with them! They have seen each other before in the past so it's okay!

Come to think of it, it would be beneficial for Pip to interact with others like him.

And there's the fact that I don't know the first thing about raising one. I can't keep relying on Maka for help.

Then, since you're a trainer, would you help me?

Of course, I wouldn't have asked if I didn't!

What do you want to know about raising Pip? There's a lot of things I can tell you but...I want to answer some of your questions first!

[Pokemon professor in training is go!]

Everything.

Naturally, feeding him hasn't been a problem, and he seems to keep the same sleeping pattern as I do. Are Eevees nocturnal?

Nah, they sleep at night so there's nothing to worry about!

I think that the biggest problem is exercise, I remember Maka mentioning that she was scared he might get fat...

[Right, now that she mentions it.]

A valid concern. Having the run of the Villa and its many indulgent inhabitants has given Pip no shortage of snacks, but as a result...

[Yeah. Pip's getting a little fat.]

Having no other of his like to compare him with, I couldn't be sure of it myself.

If you want, you can meet up with some of my pokemon and you can see for yourself if you like them or not!

But trust me, they're the most sweetest friends you can ever have! [Well, some of them can be trolly but they're nice] You definitely won't be sorry!

[Pip is spoiled rotten, and pretty much gets whatever he wants. Look, he got his 'parenting skills' from his father, this should come as no surprise. To say he's indulgent of the Eevee is kind of a massive understatement.]

I'll bring him along. Today isn't good, but surely there's a day we can meet.

Hm...I'm usually free whenever so you can give me a call and we can do something there!

Maybe after that uh...special day? 12/21?

That would be splendid, Bianca.

[However, this also begs another question:]

But how will I recognize you?

Oh, that's easy! Hold on!

[After messing around with it...]

Ta-dah! Now you know what I look like!

[Might as well follow suit, even though he's... technically already been seen.]

That's very helpful, thank you.

[Even though that hat reminds him a little of a turnip, actually.]

[Turnip....]

It's no problem! If anything should happen to Pip, let me know and I'll do my best to help!
