Guilty Gear Hostel

A few days before Christmas

"SOL!!!" yelled Ky Kiske at the canteen. A couple of people looked up at his loud exclamation, wondering why he was yelling early in the morning.

"What?" responded Sol lazily after he had calmly drank up his coffee at a table. Millia Rage was sitting across him, drinking tea.

"Where are they?" asked Ky as he walked towards Sol.

"Where are what?"

"The Christmas lights!" demanded Ky. "Don't you know that Christmas is coming?"

"What is the date today?" asked Sol.

"…December 20th." said Ky after looking at his watch. "And…"

"Still early." said Sol shortly and looked around in his pockets for something.

"Early?!" shrieked Ky. "Christmas is on the 24th!"

"Aha." said Sol to himself and took out a cigarette. He took out a lighter and lit it.

"Sol, are you even listening? You are in-charge of the lights this year, and…"

"I didn't even want to be in-charge of those stupid lights," said Sol as he smoked. "YOU put me in charge."

"Well somebody has to," said Ky. "Zappa is doing those Christmas cards, May and Bridget are collecting fees for the upcoming Christmas party…"

"Like Salvation Army." muttered Sol.

Ky didn't hear him. "Johnny is in-charge of the food and refreshments, I'm preparing the songs to sing for Christmas, Anji is in charge of the Christmas tree and…ANJI! Where's Anji?! Anji, where's the Christmas tree?!"

Forgetting about Sol, Ky rushed off to find Anji instead. The latter jumped up from his chair when he saw Ky suddenly made a U-turn for him and he ran off, saying something about "cleaning up his room".

Sol rolled his eyes. "Noisy boy scout."

"Sol, I think you better go and hang up those lights," said Millia. "Today."

"Give me one good reason." said Sol, frowning.

"Harasho," said Millia, nodding. "Ky will pester you every now and then to put them up…"

"Good, I just love to annoy him." said Sol, grinning and tapping his cigarette against the ashtray.

"Then you will have less time with me." said Millia. "Less. Private. Time. We will have Ky hanging around us all the time."

Sol crushed his cigarette. "…Where're the lights?"

"Ah… I hate finding a Christmas tree!" groaned Anji as he walked up the hill near the hostel. "Wish that I'm a kid again, then I can get away with the 'I'm too young to do all this stuff….' but no, I'm an adult now and Ky threatened to take away my Zessen fans if I don't go and find a stupid tree…"

"Don't you dare to go and find Faust for that potion. I don't want to take care of you again, ever." snapped Baiken behind him.

Anji turned around and grinned at Baiken. "Aww, Mummy," he said in a high-pitched voice. "But I like you, I'm so cold, can you hug me, Mummy?"

Baiken scowled as she narrowed her eye. "Talk that way again and you will find your robes in pieces."

She was gripping her sword when she said that.

"…Okay." said Anji, clearing his throat nervously and wrapped his robes around himself tighter. As it was a cold weather, Anji had no choice but to put robes onto his upper body to prevent himself from catching a cold.

"Now, which tree is perfect for the hostel…"

"…Oi."

"Hmm?" asked Anji as he looked at the pine trees.

"…Where's your chainsaw? Have you left it here earlier?"

"… Oops."

"YOU DRAG ME OUT HERE TO FIND A CHRISTMAS TREE WITH YOU AND YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN TO BRING A CHAINSAW?!" Baiken's voice echoed throughout the hill.

Room 24

Knock Knock

Zappa opened his door and smiled brightly. "Hello May! What can I do for you? I have already paid for the party, if that's what you want."

"Err, no," said May and she blushed slightly. "I… I want you to do a Christmas card for me…"

"Sure, no problem! In fact, I have just finished doing one requested by Dizzy, she wants to give to Testament…" said Zappa cheerfully. "Who is it for?"

"…Johnny." said May quickly. "Can you add how much I like him, maybe add a few love phrases here and there?"

"…May, sorry but I'm writing Christmas cards, not Valentine Day cards…"

Suddenly Zappa paused and shuddered.

"What is it?" asked May, blinking in surprise.

Zappa's face turned blue and he shrieked in a high-pitched voice. "YYYOOOUUUU!!! AAIIIYYEEEE, I HATE YOUUUU!!!"

"Opps, I have forgotten… aiieee!" screamed May as the S-Ko possessed Zappa charged towards her.

The two of them ran down the corridor of the hostel and May rushed into her room, slamming the door on Zappa's face.

Zappa scratched the door with his long fingers madly, trying to get in when…

PONK

Now with a bump on his head, Zappa returned to normal and slid down to the floor, clearly knocked out.

"Che, stupid of that girl to go and get Zappa to do a Christmas card for Johnny." said Sol, who had overheard the whole thing and was now placing his Fireseal on his shoulder.

"Hmm… now where're the lights? I rather go out with I-No than ask that Boy Scout…"

He then walked off, thinking that the lights were stored somewhere in the big attic.
