Santa Claus Workout Episode 2 (Abridged)

It's the first day of Polaris Mask's Christmas tour, and the party is running around the forest at Mt. Fuji.
Astar: Hup, two, three, four! Move your asses, people!
MC: Sir, yes sir! / (wheeeeze) dying...
Astar: Santa's all about stamina! This is a drill AND a test! I better not see anyone fall outta line!
Sunrise! The party has been doing laps near Astar's temp place.

Polaris Mask: Welp! The basics are the basics no matter the job, I guess!
Polaris Mask is up front. He seems fine.

Melide: Huff, huff...
Monomasa: Melide, are you okay...?
Melide: I'm... fine... I... said I'd do this...! I've come this far before!
Monomasa: Oh. Okay then. It's alright to keep up with me.
Monomasa runs alongside Melide, who looks a little tired but calm.

Astar: Girl's got guts. I think she's still a child as humans go? Amazing she's trying to be Santa instead of wanting a present...
MC: Wow, she's got more stamina than I thought / why / help!
---
(A) Astar: You too. Keep it up until we get back to my place!
(BC) Astar: You expect to be Santa like that!? Move those legs and don't stop until we get back!
---
MC: SIR YES SIR / Oh god, Drill Sergeant Nasty! / regretting my life choices now
Eventually the party finally makes it back.

MC: Oof. Legs hurt. / Okay, warm now.
---
(AB) Melide: Me too...
(C) Melide: Wow MC...I'm tired.
---
Polaris Mask: I'm doing great, guys!
Monomasa: It feels good to have a morning run.
MC: They sure are heroes.
Astar: You two could be good Santas. Good kinetic aptitude.
Monomasa: What? I think that's a compliment?
Polaris Mask: We pass right? Cool!
Astar: ...I only checked your mobility so far. The road to Santa is long and hard, people!
MC: So grim faced / whoa / tsun senses tingling
(C) Astar: What? Uh, you good to run ten laps then?

Polaris Mask: Hey Astar, isn't it almost time to go?
Astar: Oh right, did the pre-trip stuff now so yeah. We're going to...Germany. Some things just never change.
Astar puts on his Santa suit and seems to remember something as he makes a face.

MC: You know the place? / You know about Germany? / Bad memories?
---
(AB) Astar: Yeah. In the other world we...I touched down there and made base there.
(C) Astar: ...weird thoughts. Just a name I recognized from my home universe.
---
Polaris Mask: But anyways are you sure you got us covered for our ride?
No space cars or whatever around.

Astar: Yeah, lucky my sleigh came over too. It's parked nearby.
MC: A sleigh? Like Santa's?

Astar: Yeah, my temp cabin doubles as the sleigh.
Astar looks at an open space in the woods.

Astar: Magic Christmas phrases.
Astar's quiet voice seems to echo through.

Polaris Mask: wait what just happened
Astar's sleigh pops into being!

Polaris: wait WHAT
Astar's sleigh solidifies into shape!

MC: omg??? / Those Christmas phrases were pretty cute
(C) Astar: WHAT? It was Ni--the creator's idea to do that!

Monomasa: Were those command codes?
Monomasa stares at the sleigh. It's pretty big for a sleigh but...

Melide: ...I think it'd be a squeeze for all of us to get in.
Astar: Huh. I'll change its shape then. New Magic Christmas phrases about change and blimps or something.
The sleigh shifts and shuffles into a new form!

Astar: Okay, we should all fit now...damn, I haven't seen this in a while.
MC: WHAT / OMG COOL
(C) Melide: Um, MC, you look like Mokdai when he's nerding out over heroes.
Polaris Mask: I KNOW, ISN'T IT GREAT!?

Polaris Mask: Astar, this thing is awesome!
Monomasa: Interesting. Is it still sturdy enough though?
Astar: Yeah. The sleigh's like maybe too sturdy while this form is a prototype. Whatever, let's get going already.
A ramp slides out.

Polaris Mask: I am so in! Let's go, MC!
MC: Yeah!
A moment later

Astar: Okay, we're in. Time to go. "Legs to the sky."
Loud engine noises!

Melide: Um, I don't think blimps are supposed to sound like that.
Astar: More Magic Christmas phrases.
More noises! It kinda sounds like a rocket taking off...

Monomasa: Wait. Astar, are we leaving the planet?
Astar: Don't be dumb, this thing can totally fly around the planet. Fly, fancy feet!
NYOOM

Polaris Mask: Holy shit what!?
MC: AAAAAA
Still going up high!

Melide: Wait is this a space ship!?
Astar: Stop phrase.
Welp, the party is at the outer edge of the atmosphere where the Satellite Bands are!

Astar: Okay which way was Germany from here? Gimme the coordinates.
MC: Hold up, when were you gonna tell us you were gonna take us on a spaceship ride!?
Astar: Wait I didn't tell you? ...eh, whatever.
Polaris Mask: Awesome ship, Astar!
Monomasa: Not really the sort of thing you wave away with whatever. Well, Polaris Mask seems fine. You okay, Melide? MC?
Melide: Mostly, yes.
MC: I'm good, thanks. / best ship ever
(C) Monomasa: You like transforming ships? I'll keep that in mind.

Monomasa: Well if you don't feel well, say so. Want to come closer like Melide?
Monomasa seems strangely nice.

MC: Huh, Monomasa seems nicer than usual. Oh, Melide!
Melide: Hm? Why the whispering? ...Monomasa seems nicer?
Monomasa: Something going on?
Melide: Monomasa seems the same as ever to me.
MC: (Okay yeah he's always like that with her. Maybe he's just in a good mood.)
Astar: Huh, energy collection's really fast. My home world wouldn't get me this much, but then the ether level seems weirdly low...?
Astar checks the meter before noticing something.

Astar: What's that outside anyway? We didn't have that in my world.
Polaris Mask: Oh, the Satellite Bands? They're like giant comm lines or something.
Astar: Huh, maybe that's why I'm getting ether so fast? Maybe I should use them as roads.
Monomasa: wait what
Astar: Let's go, Change Mode. Number 8 Steam Wheel.
The ship transforms again and pops out six wheels!

Melide: A-are we in a steam train now?
Monomasa: Uhh...
Astar: Time to get to Germany.
The ship starts moving. First slow, then fast!

MC: hOLD UP / ooh, this should be quick
---
(C) Polaris Mask: Woohoo! Awesome!
Melide: MC, have you just stopped thinking about things? Maybe I should too.
---
Monomasa: Are you just using the Satellite Bands for a boost? I guess it's fine if you aren't taxing them...?

Title Card: Song of Sinterklaas

Several hours later, the party arrives in some town in Germany. Christmas decorations are up.
Polaris Mask: Damn, your ship's cool Astar!
Astar: It's Santa's sleigh, not my ship. Sleigh form command phrase.
The ship transforms back into a sleigh.

Astar: Those bands made for good roads. I'm gonna use them again.
Monomasa: I think people will complain if they notice you doing so...
MC: wait where's Melide?
Not here.

Monomasa: She went to go change into the clothes she got.
MC: wait what

Melide in Christmas clothes!
Melide: Okay that took longer than expected. Um, how do I look?
MC: Awesome!
Melide: Oh, thanks. Sui gave them to me.
Monomasa: Yes, you look great. Let's do our best together.
Astar: Whoa. Okay you're Santa now too. Get to training!
Polaris Mask: Nice! Now you'll look great for the event t--
Polaris Mask stops as he sees something.

Green: Put 'em up kids! We gonna take you for a wild ride!
Red: YOU gonna get a ride! YOU gonna get a ride! All y'all gonna get a ride!
Kid A: Help!
Kid B: Save us!
Astar: WHAT
Monomasa: You know those people, Polaris Mask?
Polaris Mask: Heel wrestler gang called Top of the Heels. Pretty straightforward. MC, Melide, transform us!
MC: omg battle already? Melide!

Melide: R-right, though this doesn't seem like a normal kidnapping...
The party transforms!

Polaris Mask: Polaris the Great is in the house! Come at me, bros!
Blue: Polaris Mask, finally dragged your ass here huh?
The wrestlers let the kids go and start approaching!

Purple: ...you sure took your sweet ass time.
MC: OH NO! ...wait, this doesn't actually seem serious.
The kids are following along looking excited. One of the mob wrestlers steps forward and puts their hand on Polaris Mask's shoulder.

Red: I thought you tripped and broke a leg, asshole!
Yellow: Yeah, we already got all the stage and stands setup done!
Green: Damn, cool singlet bro! But not as cool as mine!
Astar: wait what
Polaris Mask: My bad, we're ready now!
Purple: Wait hold up a minute. First, these kids want your autograph!
Blue: Hey Dude, Dudette! Want some German Christmas bread!?
Kid A: Is play time over? Boo!
Kid B: Yeah, lift us up again!
Green: Welp too bad! Play time's over kiddos!
Red: Show time's starting soon!
Excited screaming kids swarm around the mobs!

MC: Huh. Cute and nice.

Polaris Mask: Yep, that's them. They all like kids, so some of them even work childcare if they have kids of their own.
Melide: Oh, that's surprisingly disappointing. Also this bread is nice.
Monomasa: That explains things. Can I get another slice?
Blue: Sure!
Red: ...hm? Wait oh my god guys, look!
The mobs crowd around Astar.

Red: Whoa, cool Santa!
Yellow: This show's gonna be awesome!
Astar: Ho ho ho, yes I'm Santa!
Astar pulled a white beard from somewhere and is putting on a voice. The mob wrestlers are mindblown at this.

MC: Where'd that come from and why did he put it on?

Astar: ...I need it to get the children's attention. I'm not the real Santa, but I'm acting as Santa. I don't need to be Astar.
Astar's whispering to MC.

MC: Um...
Monomasa: !?
Melide: What's wrong? Why'd you hold your chest just now?
Monomasa: Nothing. I think?
Kid A: Whoa, Santa!?
Kid B: Did you get my letter!?
The kids are mobbing Astar too now.

Astar: Now now, Christmas is still a while away, so as long as you be good you'l--
Astar: !?

Suspiciously Familiar Looking Kid: Hi Santa! I forgot to send my letter, so will you take it please?
This kid looks like he's the same race as Astar.
 Astar: Uh...y-yeah, of course. Santa will definitely visit you.
Suspiciously Familiar Looking Kid: Really? Yay!
Suspiciously Familiar Looking Kid runs off to play with friends.

Astar: (frowns)
Astar watches him go for a while...

Astar: Okay kids, be good and Santa will visit you.
Astar smiles like nothing happened.

Polaris Mask: Damn, you really killed it out there as Santa!
Melide: Something seemed off...
MC senses it too.

MC: (It looked like he was suffering.)
Ding!

Purple: Ooh! Show time, kids!

Later
Welp, everyone's in the ring. The stands are filled with kids and their families waiting for things to start.

Yellow: It's TIIIIME, Santas!
Blue: Hand over the presents and we won't have to kick your asses.
Polaris Mask: How about we kick YOUR asses? We can take them, right team?
Monomasa: Um, r-right. We'll keep the presents safe.
Astar: Ho ho ho.
Melide: ...so that's the story?
MC: Let's do this! / welp / this is kinda dumb...
BATTLE START (more happens after)

Match over, big success! Now it's cleaning time after the meet and greet.
Red: That was awesome!
Blue: Thanks guys! The kids loved it!
Melide: I think it's because you wanted to entertain them. We just helped.
Green: Thanks girl! How about a hug?
Melide: Um, no thanks.
The mob wrestlers sure seem happy.

Polaris Mask: (frowns)
Monomasa: (frowns)
Polaris Mask and Monomasa however are not.

MC: Something up with your Santa suits?

Polaris Mask: My big bear claws feel WEIRD. Like they aren't really part of things.
Monomasa: I feel like something's missing but I'm not sure what.
MC: I wonder why? / Can we do anything about it? / Sorry.
Astar: ...we still have jobs to do as Santa. Sometimes you just have to work things through.
Polaris Mask: Damn, your Santa style's pretty rough. Suits me though!
Monomasa: Makes sense...sometimes we do need to work with what we have.
Yellow: Come onnnn, whatcha dudes so down for?
Purple: Well the last show's on Christmas. Let's keep at it!
MC: Wait, we're all together for everything after this?

Polaris Mask: Oh I forgot to mention. Yeah, we're touring with them and this was just the first match.
Red: Yep! Santas versus the Present Thieves! Doesn't that sound awesome!?
Melide: I don't understand what these people actually want from their audience...
Blue: Christmas is still a while off. The rest of you guys sticking around? Sometimes we got other jobs to drop in and out of, so we can always reschedule stuff.
Polaris Mask: I promised we'd be together the whole way through! Which does mean we'll also be getting some other stuff done together too.
Yellow: Get what done now?
Astar: Ho ho ho, Santa training.
Mobs: WHAT
MC: Yeah we don't get it either.

Green: Uhhhh, does the Santa training mean we'll finally be Santas!?
Astar: Of course! But it's not an overnight thing. I'll get your through it, somehow. If you can do it, then anyone can be Santa.
Still the kindly old man act.

Red: AWESOME!
Yellow: The kids will love it!
The mobs seem excited.

Monomasa: !?
Monomasa: It happened again...
MC: Wait, is something wrong?
Monomasa: I think Monomasa is reacting to something, but I don't know what that means...
Book 2-2 flashback!
Present

MC: I wonder if he has something to say?

Monomasa: Hmm...I'm not sure, but I think he's...bearing with something?
Yellow: Santa, we gotta a favor to ask!
The mobs bow in classic Japanese fashion to Astar!

Yellow: Please train us to be Santas for however long you can!
Astar: Oh...?
Astar's eyes glint.

Purple: I wanna show my kids I've been Santa!
Red: A heel Santa's a new and cool idea! Think of all the doors it'll open!
Blue: I wanna entertain kids even better!
Astar: ...ah, so you definitely want to be Santas?
Mobs: YEAH, DUDE
Astar: Even if it's the hardest thing you've ever done?
Mobs: YEAH, DUDE
Melide: Um, MC...?
MC: they're so dead

Astar takes off the beard and the kind old man act!
Astar: Got it. Follow me, punks.
Mobs: wait what
Astar: No takebacks you pansies. Nut up and get it done. You'll be reindeer this time, but I'll still be teaching you Santa stuff. Don't even think about skipping out...
Red: Wait, what happened to you just now!?
Green: Polaris, help!
Polaris Mask: We'll go to hell together!
Mobs: OH NO
MC: Welp / Yes! Misery loves company!
The mobs scream. Astar is taking none of that.

Melide: (frowns)
Melide is thinking as she looks at her hands.

Melide: (I'm sure it's on both me and Monomasa if his new variant suit isn't working right. What am I not seeing...?)
End of Episode 

Magical Snow Land Prologue Part 2 (Abridged)

Toku anime land!
Snegurochka: Oh no my magic isn't working!
Boogeyman: Haha, fear beats love in emotional density! Love is light, like melting snow! Despair and be mine, girl!
Snegurochka: (Fear beats love? Noooo that's too sad...)
Power of love dramatic power up!

Snegurochka: No, emotional weight isn't everything!
Boogeyman: Noooo, how can this be!? You haven't even confessed your love yet!
Snegurochka: There's more to snow and love than density and coldness!
Rainbow Love BEAAAAM!

Boogeyman: You haven't seen the last of meeee! (poof)
Snegurochka: ...I hope I can give you a makeover one day.
Narrator: Oh no, Snegurochka blasted the evil boss but her Senpai is still in the clutches of evil! Whatever will happen next time!? Tune in next time to find out!
Shinjuku

Zhurong: Wow you were amazing, Mr. Boogeyman!
Boogeyman: O-oh, thanks.
Quantum: I didn't know the Entertainers did TV shows now. And they're focusing on children's shows.
Zhurong: Let's play Magical Girl Snegurochka! Boogeyman, you be Snegurochka!
Boogeyman: But I played the villain!
Zhurong: Fear me, magical girl! Fwahaha!
Quantum: Oh no, whatever will you do Magical Girl Boogeyman?

The next day
Snegurochka went and asked Ded to put her in Jack Frost's classroom.

Guy A: Snegurochka I saw your show! Can't wait for the next episode!
Snegurochka: Aww, thanks! It gets even better!
Wolf B: You transferred from Nakano, right? Is it because Headmaster Ded is here?
Snegurochka: No, but sort of. I came to make everyone's wishes come true! Tell me whatever you need help with!
Guy A: Yessss, I can do anything with you cheering me on!
Snegurochka is getting along well! Also hey Jack's not here.

Snegurochka: Wait, where'd Big Bro Jackie go?
Wolf B: Big Bro!? Uhh...isn't he out today? He only comes on specific days.
Snegurochka thinks. Everyone else is in titters about her calling Jack big bro.

Wolf B: Hey the Santa Sendoff is happening soon. Anything you wanna do, Snegurochka? Our class has to give a plan as the highest class year.
Snegurochka: I'm going to look for Jackie! We were supposed to take class together!
Guy A: But class starts in like five minutes!
More commotion!

Guy A: What if he literally IS her brother!?
Wolf B: And she called Ded her grandpa so...how does that even work!?

Hallway
Snegurochka: Jackieeee, you promised we'd go to class together!
Jack Frost: No I didn't. Get back in class or you're be late.
Snegurochka: You too though! But I bet you're skipping out to go somewhere.
Jack: Yep, I'm the school bad boy. Now stay away before you get expelled with me or something.
Snegurochka: Oh come on...stop that and come to class with me!
Snegurochka actually starts dragging Jack in!

Jack: OH MY GOD HOW ARE YOU THIS STRONG!? Let go!
Snegurochka: No way! I'll turn bad girl with you if you won't go back!
Jack: What kinda threat is that? Just go back already.
Snegurochka: Nuuuu! I wanna be with you, Jackie!
Jack: Ugh, fiiiine. You head back inside while I change.
Snegurochka: Yay! I'll be waiting!
Snegurochka skips back inside! Jack doesn't come back when class starts. Shocker.

Snegurochka: (That big jerk!)

The next day, Snegurochka starts stalking Jack Frost.
Snegurochka: Tee hee, I have a good rank in Presence Concealment (Santa) myself. I can fix your school record, Big Bro Jackie! ...where's he going though anyway?
This is the Oji area of Kita Ward, one of the World Reps' Portals.

Snegurochka: Wait, I lost him! Oh no!
Snegurochka looks around! Jack Frost is nowhere to be seen...

Koropokkur: Whatcha doin', Snegurochka?
Snegurochka: AHH! Oh, are you a fan or something?
Koropokkur: Kinda. Whatcha doin'?

Snegurochka: I was following someone and lost track of them...
Koropokkur: Oh, Jack right? I know him. How about I take you to him?
Snegurochka: You know him!?
Koropokkur: Yeah, I got a good memory.
Snegurochka: Okay, please help! I want to take him back to school!
Koropokkur: Okay. Jack told me about you, so I figured it was about time you showed up.
Snegurochka: O-oh! Hehe, what'd he say about me?
Koropokkur: You're the naggiest nag to ever nag.
Snegurochka is displeased. Koropokkur has a weird smile.

Koropokkur: He also said he wonders if this is what it's like to have a little sister and that it's kinda nice.
Snegurochka: Aww, Jackie~.

Later
Koropokkur: Okay we're here at the amusement park! Just so we're clear, I don't think Jack Frost wants anyone to know about this. You still wanna go in?
Snegurochka: ...he's here? Really?
Koropokkur: Yep! You can still back out.
Guess who?

Jack Frost: Hey kids, it's me Frosty! Welcome to Magical Snow La--
Jack: !?
Snegurochka: J-Jackie!?
And so the wheels turn again...

Elsewhere
Yoshito: Moritaka, let's go make hot pot tonight.
Yoshito's talking to his Moritaka doll while looking at some veg hot pot set. Behold the impure Hakkenshi of Duty who is after Moritaka.

Rando Shopkeep: Shopping with Moritaka? Nice. How about I cut you a deal today?
Yoshito: Oh! Please don't worry on my account.
Rando Shopkeep: It's cool, call it a loyalty discount. Also here's a lotto ticket for the shopping district.
Yoshito: Thank you. I'm not suited to normal living...
Rando Shopkeep: Oh go on, you miss the shots you don't take. See you next time!
Yoshito waves goodbye and leaves. Then he decides he might as well try his luck.

Rando B: We have a grand winner! Here you go, two tickets to an amusement park!
Yoshito: O-oh. What do I do with this...?

Ueno Dorm
Hastur: I actually WON that stupid raffle!?
Hastur has a ticket for two to Magical Snow Land now!

Hastur: Who would I even invite to go with me? Asking is so awkward.
Hastur has an idea, but he doesn't like it.

Hastur: Why THEM!?
Hastur has a Master now, much as he'd like to pretend not to.

Hastur: Maybe I should go alone. But that's also awkward! No one in the dorm must know I am being so out of character either way! Ugh, perhaps I should go searching for a partner then.

Hastur leaves his room.
Hastur: WHAT
It's the Beast Tamers hanging around outside!

Alp: Hey Hastur, old buddy old pal! Wanna go somewhere?
Fenrir: I happen to have time to slay. Perhaps we may go shoulder to shoulder if it pleases you!
Pazuzu: Hey my cute little lizard! I can always go with you if you can't ask anyone out!
Yuma: Hastur, you're hiding something. I wanna go with everyone!
Cu Sith: (SNIIIIFF) It's in there!
Hastur: CEASE YOUR SNIFFING THERE!
Hastur gives up and reveals his ticket.

Hastur: The INSOLENCE of you fools listening in on me!
Yuma: But Hastur, you so happy. Weird. Is it strange for me to be curious?
Hastur: Wha--I-I am not one to be happy to go visit some amusement park!
Cu Sith: Oh my god you guys, this ticket is only for two people!
Sudden tension!

Alp: Hey Hastur, how about I show you around an amusement park and how to have fun?
Fenrir: FOOL! I see it falls to me to show you the dark wisdoms needed to enjoy the amusement park by your lonesome!
Pazuzu: Pick me, lizard boy! You know you want to~.
Yuma: I wanna go. But I'm scared to go alone. Please Hastur?
Hastur: Ah! Do not look at me with those human eyes, Yuma!
Hastur sighs as the Hastur Bowl happens. Then he holds the ticket out.

Hastur: Just take the damned thing. I don't care who goes, I didn't want to go THAT much.
Hastur goes back to his room. The Beast Tamers are shocked, then look at each other.

That night
Pazuzu: Hey my cute lizard! This is from all of us to say sorry.
It's Hastur's ticket.
Hastur: (snorts) You fools would waste a gift like this?
Pazuzu: I mean yeah we all wanted to go, but we knew you didn't know who to ask. But we know this is yours and you can do whatever you want with it. Go alone, go ask someone out, ask one of us if you really want to. Personally, I think you should pick someone not in the dorm!
Hastur: I do not recall asking your opinion, but fine.
Pazuzu waves and walks off. Hastur thinks.

Later
Hastur: S-so, I decided I should ask you because you won't explode if some disaster were to happen. I-it's not like I wanted to ask you in particular or anything.
Hastur is asking MC!

Tianzun: YOOOO wanna go? Look, I gotta ticket!
Asakusa's punk teacher is hitting on MC!

Tianzun: Magical Snow Land is gonna be great!
MC: Okay, Sensei! / wait what now / Why not ask Quantum?
(B) Tianzun: Whaddya mean, "wait what now?" It's like you don't even know me! Magical Snow Land sounded great, they even have a parade! Let's goooo!
(C) Tianzun: Aww, don't be like that! I already gave them tickets! Besides, wouldn't it be better if she went with friends instead of an old man like me? That's why I asked you out!

Yoshito: Now hang on, I want Master to go with Moritaka to Magical Snow Land!
Yoshito is MC's assassin this loop.
Yoshito: Speaking of, please take this ticket Master. Do not worry, I will be watching from the shadows. I shall be no more than a spot on the walls.
MC: no seriously what / why don't you go with Moritaka? / don't you wanna go?
---
(B) Yoshito: N-no! I just want Moritaka to be happy, so that's more likely if he goes with you.
(C) Yoshito: W-what!? What about you Master? Oh wait, it's not a servant's place to ask you that. Whatever you say goes.
Tianzun: Dude, lighten up.
---
Hastur just cannot with all this and sighs.

Hastur: Damned MC. Oh well, perhaps I should just ask Pazuzu. Actually, no. Who knows what that deviant would make of it.
Hastur looks at MC again.

Tianzun: Pick me, MC! Or we could go the more the merrier!
Moritaka: No, you should go alone with Moritaka and get closer with him.
Tianzun: Orrrr you could get closer to me.
MC: UHHHH
MC and Hastur meet eyes. Hastur decides to intervene after internal sighing.

Hastur: Hold, for MC will be going with me! Using this ticket!
MC: WHAT? I mean cool but...
Tianzun: Wow you sure are popular when Christmas comes.
Yoshito: Ah yes, it pleases me to see how many people are drawn to you Master.
Hastur: Pfeh! None of you fools are worthy of standing alongside MC. Away with you before the slumbering madness awakes and takes you.
MC: This IS just a amusement park day trip, right? / welp / okay okay, we'll all go together!
And so the MC Bowl continues.

End of Episode 

Magical Snow Land Prologue Part 1 (Abridged)

A camera turns on facing Tokyo Santa School. Something's different...
Snegurochka: Oh, the camera's on! Big Bro Jackie, come on!
Jack Frost: Uggggh, why? I'm twice your size, so we can't both be in frame.
Snegurochka: Because I want us in it together. Shut up and get over here! Come on!
Jack Frost: Ow, stop pulling! Okay okay, I'm in the shot. Happy now?
Snegurochka: Hehe, here we go. MC, everybody, are you watching? It's me, Snegurochka! As you probably already know.
Jack Frost: And I'm Jack Frost. Why am I doing this again?
Elsewhere
Event Party: (stares)
Affectionate looks from everyone.

It's the Christmas season! Ded's busy at his desk.
White: And this one is a publicity request for a general store...
There's more work besides the present delivery stuff for Santas.

White: Oof, tight deadlines. Do we have to shuffle things around?
Yule: Headmaster, do you have a moment?
Krampus: Um, yeah, I have something else I have to ask you after him.
White: Where'd you two come from!? Wow, you're doing great with the Presence Concealment (Santa) skills.
Praise time!

Krampus: Oh um, we did knock but you were really focused on your paperwork...
Sympathetic Yule and Krampus.

Yule: Headmaster, maybe you should take a break.
White: Haha, it's nice though so I want to keep going a bit longer. I'll rest once I'm done. I actually turned to Black for a bit.
Yule and Krampus feel Ded's not going to finish even one pile of paperwork by the end of the day.

Krampus: Stop and go to bed like a good kid.
Black: Well damn Krampus, you sure are getting uppity!
Krampus: UM. Maybe you should at least get some help with your work?
White: Now now Black, stop scaring the children. Still, I've heard Tanngrisnir is busy too...
Yule: What about Tomte?
White: He's helping a lot of other people already, so...why are you two here anyways?
Krampus: You first, Yule. Aren't you in a hurry?
Yule: Oh right. Headmaster, there's someone here to see you.
knock knock

Snegurochka: Hi Grandpa, long time no see!
White: Snegurochka!?
Snegurochka: Yup! Magical Girl Snegurochka is here to help!
Krampus: OH MY GOD IT'S THE REAL MAGICAL GIRL SNEGUROCHKA
Yule: What? Krampus, you know her? Headmaster, she's your granddaughter!?
Krampus: CAN I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH!?

Later
Snegurochka: Here you go!
Snegurochka hands Krampus an autographed piece of cardboard.

White: What is this magical girl thing you speak of?
Krampus: You don't know!? Snegurochka's the most popular toku mahou shoujo show this winter! They're doing snow themed girls this time! Such action! She singlehandedly set the snow theme for this season's show! Super awesome theme song, it'll be the greatest of all toku history time and--
White: O-okay okay, wow. Is that what kids like these days?
Yule: Never mind that, you have a granddaughter!?
White: Sort of? She's more like an alter ego or divided self of mine.
Kitezh faith says Ded Moroz has a granddaughter, the snow spirit Snegurochka. Kind of like a minion snow fairy, so Snegurochka is actually more of a race name but it's not like that's new.

White: Snegurochka has a bond with Santa, so she's a snow being created from my current self. And as long as she remains Snegurochka, she's my granddaughter as per legend.
Snegurochka: Uh-huh! And now I'm here!
Snegurochka hands over a school transfer form from Nakano Performing Arts Academy.

Snegurochka: So I'll be around for now. Let me help you, okay Grandpa?
Snegurochka starts cleaning up after Yule and Krampus leave.

Snegurochka: Grandpa, do you want coffee or cocoa?
White: Cocoa please. Not too hot. Anyways, did you really come here to help me?
Snegurochka: Yes, I want to help Santa and you created me.
White: Haha, makes sense. But maybe you should go play like other children and--
Snegurochka: NO! I heard you were buried in work and I want to help!
White seems impressed and sad at how hard working Snegurochka is for her age.

White: Is there anything you want yourself then? Like an early present from Santa.
Snegurochka: Oh you... oh wait, I'd like to be shown around the school! But you're busy... I guess the other students are too?
White: Hmm. Well there is one person...

Later, Jack Frost gets brought into Ded's office.
Jack Frost: Why am I here? I didn't even do anything.
Jack sighs and causes Ded's windows to frost over.

Jack Frost: Wait, are you asking me to make graffiti in here? Because I will.
White: Actually I wanted to ask you for a favor about your kouhai. Say hi, Snegurochka.
Snegurochka: Hello Big Bro Jackie, I'm Ded's granddaughter!
Jack: Big Bro!? ...Ded, you have a granddaughter!?
White: I'm too tired to go through this again, Snegurochka, stop calling yourself that.
Snegurochka: Wow, it's so nice and cool around Jackie! Is this your way of thinking about me, Grandpa? Thanks!
Jack: GET AWAY FROM ME YOU WEIRD LITTLE GIRL, I'M NOT HELPING IF YOU GET FROSTBITE

White: Haha, it'll be fine. She's a snow spirit like me. She's also an actress so I figured she'd get along well with a creative type like you.
Jack Frost: Graffiti art and acting aren't in the same grouping, old man!
White: Anyways, could you show Snegurochka around please?
Jack: Why me!? Can't you ask literally anyone else!?
White: I don't think anyone else around here works so well with little children.
*Hint hint.
Black: Also don't think I haven't heard about you cutting class. You owe me for not busting a cap in your ass already even if White's covering for you!
Jack: Hey I've been making up for those credits, old fart. Expel me already if you don't like it.
Black: That's it, it's cap bustin' time!
Snegurochka: NO I JUST CLEANED THIS PLACE!
Shocked Black! Snegurochka frowns.

Snegurochka: Sorry, this is my fault. It's okay I can just look around by myself!
Snegurochka slips out.

White: ...she's too obedient. My fault for making her that way. I don't think I'd have noticed her being here if she's like that, so can you look after her Jack?
Jack: Fiiiine. Can I get credits for--
White: No. Go to class.

Jack Frost grumbles as he leaves the office. Snegurochka has been sitting on the floor waiting for him.
Snegurochka: ...sorry I caused a fight between you and Grandpa.
Jack: Not your fault. It wasn't something he ever judged.
Snegurochka: Really? You don't hate him?
Jack: Not over something like that. Besides, he could always kick me out for delinquency. Whatever, let's go.
Snegurochka: It's fine, you don't have to do this.
Jack: Stop being annoying and come on already.
Snegurochka happily takes Jack's cold hand.

Snegurochka: Thanks Big Bro Jackie! Call me Sneggy!
Jack: Never. Also stop calling me big bro.
Snegurochka: But why tho?
Jack: It's just weird, okay!?
Snegurochka: Just Jackie then? But Big Bro seems perfect.
Jack: ...you're just gonna ignore me, aren't you.
Snegurochka: Hey, let's look around the school already! I wonder what it's like.

Tour time! Everyone keeps distancing themselves from Jack Frost. Some time later...
Snegurochka: Um, Big Bro. Do you not have friends at school? Everyone keeps stepping away from us.
How shockingly direct!
Jack Frost: Oh my god you really ARE a little kid!
Snegurochka: O-oh, sorry. I was wondering if it bothered you.
Jack: ...Santa School's obviously filled with good kids and good kids don't hang around bad kids like me.
Flashback!

Jack: (Okay, I'm gonna make friends for sure!)
Everyone's cliqued up already.

Jack: (Oh no, I'm ALREADY left out!? My school social life is over...)

Present
Snegurochka: Is that why you cut class? Don't you have literally anyone to talk to?
Jack Frost: Well YEAH. I tried talking first a bunch of times, but...
Flashback!
Girl A: Oof, I think I'm getting a cold.
Some students didn't notice Jack was around until his cold aura got to them.

Girl A: Oh! Uh, haha, hi Jack! I'm okay!
Girl B: Yeah, it's just that time of the year! Totally!
Jack: Uh, right. Haha...

Present
Jack Frost: I have a Winter Aura up no matter what season it is. Sure, lots of people will be considerate but there's also people who'll get pissed about it.
Casual Jack. Snegurochka hug!

Snegurochka: I'll be your friend! Hehe, and you're my first friend here.
Jack: ...i-it's not like I'm happy to have you as a friend or anything.
Snegurochka: Oh you~. I'm going to ask Grandpa to put us in the same class, so let's go to class together!
Jack: Weren't you a middle schooler at Nakano? I bet even that was a stretch and you're not even fourth grade yet.
Snegurochka: Bold words to someone who can probably out-Santa you.
Snegurochka taps her phone and pulls something out.

Snegurochka: I have Santa Power from Grandpa himself! Magical Girl transformation, goooo!
Pretty Cure Sailor Snow Fairy!
Snegurochka: Ta-dah! Now tell me your wish!
Snegurochka waves her magical girl wand and makes a rainbow before posing! Her Magical Girl Mascot™ Rudolf the Little Snow Reindeer runs across, apparently having been spawned from Snegurochka directly like she was from Ded. Jack Frost is unimpressed.

Snegurochka: ...hey, say something already!
Jack: I don't even know what to say anymore...
Snegurochka: Oh you~, you could've said that then.
Jack: (Being your own reindeer as a Santa is kinda OP, but...)
Jack is both surprised but also instinctively knowing that she's a little TOO OP, which means...)

Flashback!
One night in the city...

White: Wow, your present of a formless work is amazing. You really are the newest generation street art Santa. Weird rich people bid over it and part of that money goes to charity, which is your present. You'd be famous if you went public with your identity.
Jack Frost: ...I'm not doing this for fame. Graffiti stuff is something instinctual for Jack Frosts. It's just a sign that I lived, not any big artistic statement or whatever...
Jack finishes spray painting something, which will probably stick around to help children.

Jack: Also, why go public about being a vandal?
White: That'll make your work easier! You're too private, with both the graffiti and the--
Jack: What are you REALLY here for?
White: I know what it's like to be passed up at first and later recognized for myself.
Jack: ...really? You don't have to lie to make me feel better.
White talks about how he essentially stole the role of Santa way back when.

White: I...paid a big price for my current power.
Jack: What? Why would you confess to something like that?
White's kind face is worth a thousand words.
Present

Jack: (Snegurochka, how much did you have to--)
Snegurochka: Jackie? Did you like my transformation sequence that much?
Jack: Pfffft. Just thinking.
Snegurochka: Hey, I was wondering. What DO you get up to when you cut class?
Jack: ...heh, wanna come see?
