[HERE, HAVE A PRESENT, KILLUA--

That is to say, if he plays ViViD in the next couple of days he might find he has SUDDENLY POINTS that he didn't have before... this guy sent 'em.

And, there'll be a little package on Christmas Eve with a note: Killua, hope those points come in handy. And maybe you can give this a try in real life?

- Naoki

Included is a thief cloak... Naoki, please, stop sending gag gifts.]

[ The cloak is the coolest thing Killua has ever gotten as a present. Then again, that's not hard, considering his family's idea of gifts are poisoned cookies and stints in the family torture chamber. Also, it probably helps that Killua has questionable taste in clothes to start with.

Still, he does have to wonder... ]

what's all the stuff for? you're not dying or something, are you?

[It's okay, Naoki can't... really talk about fashion choices. Whoops.]

oh yeah, this is the stuff written in my will to go to you

[Naoki please--]

nah it's just a present for Christmas

what's christmas?

[ Look, he doesn't object to random gifts. He just is confused about the whole thing. ]

[HMMMM, how to explain, well--]

it's a holiday, where I'm from--it came over from the west. over there it's more of a religious thing but where I live, it's just kind of a time to spread happiness

hence the giving presents or cards to people

[And then there's the romantic connotation of one of the two days there but that ain't part of this Naoki just likes having an excuse to give gifts.]

[ A holiday where you spread happiness. That makes more sense as a reason to give gifts than Yata's less than helpful explanation. "A guy died but he got better" indeed.

Killua considers this for a second, but with the way Naoki explains it, it actually seems pretty legit. ]

oh, that's kind of cool. we don't have anything like that back home does that mean i should get you a present too?

[Well... You did your best, Yata. Kind of. Wrong holiday, alas.]

if you wanna, sure! but you did just find out about it

[So he won't fuss even if he doesn't--]

but it's what you do for christmas, right? do you get presents for all of your friends?

yeah, that's right, you do

what counts as a good present? i've never done this kind of thing before

a lot of things

let's see-- food, gift cards, it kinda depends on the person and what they like

stuff that makes the other person happy, right? that's pretty hard... what kind of stuff makes you happy?

food's always a good way to go

but for me, personally... I guess neat occult things?

[Alternatively, weird occult things.]

do you mean like that fake stuff that gets sold to tourists or actual real occult stuff to go with your demons?

both

the campy touristy stuff is kinda funny

i'll try to find something really stupid then oh hey, what do yurlungur and long like?

thanks, I'll look forward to my stupid gift

them, huh?

Yurlungur likes stuff in multiple colours. anything that you can find that's rainbow. and Long likes things like wooden statues or big glass orbs...
