About half an hour after this phone call ended, a heap of shattered things was deposited outside of Vinnie and Sonny's room.

In this heap, should you care to shift things around and figure out what everything used to be, there appears to be:
One (1) Specially-made cellphone for very large and strong hands
One (1) Desktop computer, monitor, keyboard and mouse, all made for exceptionally large and strong hands
One (1) Very Large Computer Chair
One (1) Flatscreen television
Three (3) Barbells, bent into fanciful shapes
Four (4) 100 pound freeweight plates, somehow snapped in half like cookies
Two (2) sets of dresser drawers
A hard-to-count number of blue cargo pants and white tank tops are in the dresser drawers, as well. They may be salvageable.

[ Private to Marie, Vinnie, Sonny, Kojiro ]
I need you all. We need to talk about possibly punching some tanks.

[ Private to Chika ]
Keep Sasha company. Just make sure she's okay and not on her own.

[ Public Text On The Network ]
That was a troublesome holiday.

[Snake is propped back in his chair, feet on the desk for his computer. He appears to be flipping through a file and folder. His tone is muffled as he's behind the folder. He doesn't bother to show much aside from the top of his head and the wisps of brown hair here and there.

...He looks like he just got out of bed. Evidently being proactive when Metal Gear isn't involved isn't one of his strong suits. Then again, all he was ever doing in Alaska was drinking and smoking while he tried to figure out what the hell the Patriots were up to. The man knows a healthy lifestyle when it slaps him one in the face.]

The name's Lieutenant Pliskin. This is for the students of Boxes 101. Come on time or don't come at all.

[He's real good with introductions.]

[Private to Red Team / somewhat hackable if you really wanna.]

I kind of got soul-swapped with Bulba. Like, we switched bodies or whatever. I dunno, thought you guys should know. I don't know when it'll wear off. Not soon enough...

... Anyway, yeah. That's it.

- Raiden. His Secret Santa. He vaguely remembers you as the janitor dude. You get a mop made out of carbon fibre and titanium. A carbotanium mop.
- Red Team all get a hug and a box of their favorite treats (box contains things such as poffins, berries and assorted candies tailored to what they like. Sonny gets a box of Doritos extra.)
- Riwane gets some chili chocolate.
- Voile gets a potted windowsill plant.
- Green, despite the eggs on his door will still get a present. A cellphone strap and strangely, a potted plant which grows red and green leaves.
- Green Team all get a box of poffins to share between them, delivered along with Green's present.
- Empoleon gets a Lucky Egg,
- Dana gets a voucher to use in the local pastry store.
- Pit. Red remembers you from their date so you get a box of chocolates.
- Lyra gets a hat that looks almost like his.
- Mom gets a card and a Christmas cake.

[The time is early Christmas morning. If you were too busy last minute wrapping gifts and the like, maybe you missed this message. But Vinnie's been pretty scarce all month, and now... well, he's going to be even more scarce.]

( An envelope slipped under Mac's door )

Public: There's something I need to take care of back home. I might be a while.

If I'm not back, then... everyone have a safe new year.

[Consider this a hiatus for Vinnie. He'll have a thread in the mistletoe log later for anyone who might run into him as he leaves, but apart from that he's going to be having himself a good ol' solo soul searching adventure.]

[Oh hello there's a girl on the screen. She looks pretty cheerful despite all of the SUPER IMPORTANT STUFF that's been going down. Good job, Celebi. There is a heavy dose of vegetation behind her. Is that her wall? Is that her room? What.]

I guueesssss I should say hello properly this time, cause somebody already guessed right! ... Kind of a while ago but whatever. Hi! I'm Celebi.

How does everybody feel about mistletoe?

[This is very important.]

There was a death a couple days ago, right? I know some of you are scared, and some of you may not be the best at fighting just yet. So if there's anyone out there who doesn't feel safe going places alone? I'll protect you! I'm stronger than I look.

We can work out the details in our comments. I want to make sure you feel as safe as possible! You'll have nothing to be afraid of anymore, promise!

[After her chat with Cyrus several days ago, Hilda’s had food for thought ever since, hence the text. ]

What does a hero mean to you? Why? Do they have tainted hands in some way or shape or form, or are they unsullied hands? Or are heros noble people who have never done anything wrong and always know that they are doing the right thng? Are they inherently selfless and brave? Or are they made that way by circumstance?

Or maybe I just think too much on what’s said and done. I don’t really know but I would love to hear what every ones thinks.

Hello once again, Smash Academy. I am Kojiro, Red's Lapras. This year, I will be the school's Psychologist. If you have any worries or problems, please do not hesitate to contact me over the network or come to my office. I believe you will find the atmosphere to be quite relaxing.

I hope you all have a good school year.

So.

Who's going to the Justin Biever concert with my team? How... expensive are the tickets?

( letter to his sister, Daisy )

For the record, none of the property damage is my fault, and I refuse to be blamed for it.

Hey dudes!

Who's up for a camping trip? I got the arena booked on friday and I've got a nice campground programmed in. Gotta be nicer than camping in the cold at this time of year, huh? Anyone game?

[Sasha noticed something plastered this early morning all over town on her way to the dojo.]



[Oh great Arceus, she's never going to hear the end about it.]

[Public Post, 6AM]
I guess he's coming for a concert isn't he.

[Private Post to Vinnie]
I hope you have a pair of earplugs.

Hey!

So a lot's happened lately, hasn't it!?

Those blind dates were pretty fun. I got paired up with one of my best friends- Lucas. We had a great time. The food was a little weird, but it was fun anyway. I'm all about having new experiences and stuff like that. Although, who doesn't? Right?

Another good thing... My best friend in the entire world, Bobby, is back again! I was hoping she'd show up again. I'll bet a bunch of you guys are happy to see her too, haha. She's good at making friends. I don't see how anyone could dislike her.

I've been making some new friends, too, though. I think my new roommate, Jon, is pretty cool. I mentioned him when he first got here... Do any of you know him now? And I met this great girl named Agitha! She's Princess of the bug kingdom! I don't know where that is, but I'd like to go someday. I'll bet it's nice.

Anyway... That's all I can think of! My classes are going well. I miss my mom, but I think I'll go visit her soon! It's not too far to Johto, right?

...Oh! What is everyone doing for Halloween!? I want to go trick-or-treating! Or am I too old for that? Maybe I should go to a party. Or throw a party! Or all three! I don't know!

( [It's not a Snap post without a tl;dr narration!] )


Sup, faggots? Here's hoping you haven't forgotten who owns this school. (I'll give you a hint: go fuck yourselves, because it's me.)

So, gimme an update: have we run Red's dumb ass outta the school yet, or do I gotta go reduce his kidneys to the consistence of paper-mache? And where the shit's Genny? Has he finally fled this shitpit in a fit of bitch tears?

[private to Marie]
We need to talk

[Red's door is open.

The door on Red's lock seems to be broken. Oh dear.

Plus it seems like his roommate went off somewhere. It's not as if Red is touchy about privacy, he just has an open door policy. Because it's not like he's doing anything to be embarrassed about.

So anybody may pop in. It's not like his team didn't help themselves to staying in his room anyway. ]

Hi everyone! Y'know, I've been actually wondering something since I got here... see, I've been here since August, but I haven't really figure this out, then again, I never really asked anyone about this. Golly, I've been kinda silly not to think that in the first place, huh? I was still trying to get used to being here.

Anyways, what I'm asking is, how does humanization work? I've seen a lot of students use them ere, but gosh, I wonder how this will work with someone like me. But, I really want to know, because I really would like to try this humanization!
