MC: Ugh. Slept badly...
The next day, it's oddly hot upon waking up. Like sauna level hot.
MC: GODDAMN HOT
MC jumps out of bed and looks out the window. Look at all that sunlight! Where's the snow? There are heat hazes, it's so hot.
MC: WHAT
Beep beep. Knock knock.
Crowne: MC, did you see outside!?
Title Card: Christmas Irregularity
Hot.
Gomeisa: W-why?
Crowne: Suddenly tropical Christmas. What happened??
Guide: Oh no, how can the fortune be wrong!? And not just wrong, but super wrong! What happened to the snow!?
Chaos!
Gomeisa: Townspeople worried...
Crowne: Yeah, freak weather changes do that.
Gomeisa looks around worriedly, then notices a child.
Girl: Mommy, what's gonna happen with Christmas? And Santa?
Mom: Do you SEE this weather we're having? Come on, we have to get home.
Girl: But... (cries)
Gomeisa: Oh no...
Gomeisa looks up and sees a snowflake decoration.
Gomeisa: Christmas...
Crowne: ...they said the weather fortune uses crystals, but I'm PRETTY sure I know what the crystals are. Which means...something at the tower is causing this? (thinks)
MC: Figure something out Crowne? / Oh no, how could this happen?
Crowne: ...no wait, it's all just guesswork. We should first ask what's gonna happen with our gig and if there's anything we can do. Managers' HQ is by the big tree, right?
Suddenly!
Townie: AAAAAA
The screams are getting closer!
MC: WHAT
Monsters: SCREEE
Gomeisa: !? Monsters here!
Crowne: Goddammit, why now!?
Townie: HELP
Gomeisa: Man attacked! Must help!
Crowne: MC!
MC: Let's go! Execute!
Gomeisa and Crowne are suited up!
Crowne: Gomeisa, you heal and protect the civvies and I'll play decoy! Got it?
Gomeisa: O-okay!
BATTLE START (more happens after)
The party is walking to Manager HQ and checking for other Monsters on the way.
Crowne: ...ugh, hot.
MC: And it's not even summer. / Can't stand heat / I guess it's better than it being too cold...
Gomeisa: ...
Gomeisa listens to the city people's talks.
Townie A: The festival is tomorrow, what do we do?
Townie B: We'll have to cancel it. Plus we have Monsters now...
Child C: Nooo!
Townie D: ...I know how you feel, but what can we do after what just happened? I guess we still have our lives? Spirits protect us...
Gomeisa: ...people really looking forward festival.
Crowne: Yeah, look at all the work they put into getting ready.
Gomeisa: ...Christmas stop, huh...?
Crowne: It'll still be a thing, but...the festival's probably kaput with the heat. And Monsters just turned up. We got rid of them, but people will worry about more coming. How can anyone celebrate like this?
Gomeisa: Oh no...
MC: You were really excited, huh?
Gomeisa: So sad...want see songs and dance. But festival stop even more sad.
Crowne: You're really into Christmas, aren't you? Especially for an alien. Something up with that?
Gomeisa: Christmas...important memory me. Boss maybe not remember, but...means lot me.
Gomeisa: Can...Hero me do something?
Digivice noises.
Phone: New Path detected. Subject: Gomeisa. Connectivity: Weak.
MC: Huh?
Meanwhile at the Crystal Tower
Sensettia: ...wow, pretty place. Nowhere else is as tall from a look outside, and it's so sparkly in here. Do the people of this planet know what it's like in here?
Viscunam: Who cares about "pretty"!? The technology here is what's really important! This is clearly an artificial building. When I analyze and appropriate this tower, my legend will truly begin! Hehehehe...
Sensettia: You've got no sense of beauty, you know that? But yeah, we finally got all the way into here, so we might as we get something.
Viscunam: Hmph. The beauty in my research and the beauty in scenery are unrelated. Girlie! Get to work if you want your cut.
Sensettia: Yeah yeah, I know. You just can't wait to make your next trash heap, huh?
Viscunam: T-trash!? Your brain just isn't refined enough to appreciate my inventions!
Sensettia: Yeah sure, whatever. You do your research, and I get my pay to do live concerts on other planets. It's not so bad to remind myself this is just a job to fund my music tour. I can join you on your...great research whatsit.
Viscunam: Hmph. That's why you joined me to begin with. You can take most of the royalties since I don't want it. SCIENCE! My next invention will change history, and I'll figure something out in here! Maybe! Heheheh, it was worth coming here!
Sensettia: ...wow you really don't care about money for someone who looks so greedy. Anyways, you gonna tell me what's in this tower yet? The residents don't even come here, so why did we?
Viscunam: Oh! Are you finally interested in my research Girlie!?
Sensettia: No, not THAT mu--
Viscunam: I've learned Somewhere about the technology used in this tower! There is evidence this crystal is obvious a product of SCIENCE that this planet's people don't know of, and completing my research means we need to get to the tower core and investigate Something there--
Suddenly, shaking!
Sensettia: Ahh! Earthquake!?
Viscunam: Huh? That's not what earthquakes feel like!
Sensettia: Then what just happened!?
The walls and floors crack as vine things start coming in!
Sensettia: WHAT
Viscunam: Girlie, get down!
The vines wall off Viscunam and Sensettia from each other!
Sensettia: HEY! What am I supposed to do now!? Viscunam!
Viscunam can't hear her.
