Live A Hero Santa Claus Workout Episode 3 (Abridged)

Some forest. A ruined house or something. And a Suspiciously Familiar Looking Kid standing in front of it.
Suspiciously Familiar Looking Kid: ...what am I supposed to do now?
Suspiciously Familiar Looking Kid cries.

MC: Hmm...this is kinda like what happened in the Imaginary Point, except not. The memory dive.
Suspiciously Familiar Looking Kid: W-who's there!? Oh wait, I need to hide!
Suspiciously Familiar Looking Kid hears a voice despite no one else being around.

MC: Wait can you hear my thoughts or something?
Suspiciously Familiar Looking Kid: Ah! Wait, thoughts? I hear something in my head.
MC: Uhhhh, it's cool! I'm not a weirdo or anything!

One explanation later
Suspiciously Familiar Looking Kid: ...so you don't know how you're talking to me?
MC: I sorta done this before, but telepathy's a new one. / What do I sound like?
---
(C) Suspiciously Familiar Looking Kid: Um, like a bunch of different voices?
---
Suspiciously Familiar Looking Kid: But wow, you can see? Are you one of those god things this planet talks about?
MC: No I'm just some worker!
Suspiciously Familiar Looking Kid: Oh...if you were god, I wished you could turn back time.
Suspiciously Familiar Looking Kid looks out of it.

MC: Wait are you hurt!?

Suspiciously Familiar Looking Kid: N-no...nothing to do with what I just did. But I have to be Santa...because I said I could do it.
MC: Hmmmm, sounds familiar...
Flashback!

Astar: I'M TEACHING YOU ALL WHAT IT MEANS TO BE SANTA!
Present. Or whatever

Suspiciously Familiar Looking Kid: B-but how do I do it? I'm all alone...
MC: I think anyone can be Santa?
Suspiciously Familiar Looking Kid: What?
MC: I'm blanking out but I think I heard someone say that before?
Suspiciously Familiar Looking Kid: Really? Wow...
Flashback!

Astar: Anyone can be Santa. Santa needs stamina!

Present. Or whatever
MC: Something something Santa needs stamina?
Suspiciously Familiar Looking Kid: O-oh, that's gonna be hard.
Suspiciously Familiar Looking Kid wipes their face.

Suspiciously Familiar Looking Kid: But I'll do it! Thanks, um...what do I call you?
MC: Umm...
Psychic noise!

MC: Who am I again?
Suspiciously Familiar Looking Kid: Um, how about I call you Voice? Oh right, I never told you my name. I'm Astar.
Astar Lily: Thank you, Voice. I think I can try my best--
Weird distortion sensation!

Suddenly Astar!
Astar: (stares)
MC: OMGWHAT
Astar: You fell asleep during my Santa lecture, punk. You're getting extra lessons!
MC: wait what / ...Astar?
---
(C) MC mentally compares Astar and Astar Lily.
Astar: Um, why are you staring? Whatever.
---
Astar: Now onto the history of Santa, you guys.
Red: Hey, could you stop referring to all of us with "you guys?" We legit have actual names!
Astar: !?
Astar: Oh. What's your names?

Red: Hellhound Red!
Blue: Kraken Blue!
Green: Mandragora Green!
Purple: Lord of the Rings Reference Purple!
Yellow: Cyclops Yellow!
Mob Wrestlers: Together we are Top of the Heels!
Astar: I can't remember all that shit. You guys are now Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Dunder, and Blitzen.
Mob Wrestlers: WHAT
Red: You can't just change a wrestler's name!
Astar: You're trying to be Santa now, not a wrestler. Right?
Red: I'msorrysir.
Polaris Mask: Aren't those reindeer names tho?
Melide: ...hey MC, were you really just sleeping earlier? I felt a Path open. Were you Observing something?
MC: Wow, you could tell? Well... 

One explanation later
Melide: You talked with that boy? Hmm...
MC: Something weird?
Melide: Everything. I need to think about it...
MC: wait what
Melide: Your memory was vague, you saw a boy named Astar, and you could talk with him. I have to ask, are you feeling okay now with your memory?
MC: Yeah, just felt like I couldn't remember specific stuff. Like I'm missing something?
Melide: Okay. I'll let you know if anything seems off...wait.
Melide seems surprised that she felt relieved.

MC: What's wrong?
Melide: N-nothing. Well if you're fine, then okay. If you talk to that boy again, will you tell me?
MC: O-okay. (She looks serious.)
And so the party rides off into the sky.

Title Card: Father Christmas (by Rayman Briggs)

Polaris Mask: Hey Astar, what sorta work does Santa do in your view? Is Santa not a fairy tale guy in your universe?
Astar: Hmm...well he is folklore, but the original legends have mostly disappeared. I - we - started trying to bring them back by doing Santa things. He's not so different on the macro scale, presents for good kids and rides a sleigh with reindeer sorta stuff. That's my goal.
MC: Damn, there really are all kinds of universes.
Astar: Oh, but in my universe Earth never got up to space travel level, so aliens hide themselves on Earth.
Monomasa: Okay wow that's different.
Melide: ...are you from an older era than us?
MC: wait that's a thing with parallel worlds?

Melide: Well it'd be the past compared to this timeline. Like some heroes here connect to their future selves. Exio said that not all time branches come from the same timeline.
MC: Oh, that makes sense. I guess if some use future selves, then past selves could happen?
Polaris Mask: Ohh, so Astar's Santa is a mask he made up? Cool!
Astar: ...I tried, but then I ended up alone and...
MC: What?
Astar: Nothing. So there's time until we hit our next destination? Santa drills then.
Green: Finally!
Yellow: Yeah, movement!
Astar: Okay reindeer drills first.

Monomasa: ...Astar, do people do reindeer things in your universe?
Red: Yeah!
Astar: Dunno about this world, but our Santa's reindeers weren't literal reindeer.
MC: excuse me what / damn you suck at explaining things
---
(C) Astar: !?
Astar: Okay, special reindeer training for you.
Melide: Maybe you should say sorry, MC...
---
Astar: It was some author who called them reindeer. They were originally atmospheric region automatic precision work air frames. They're gone and I haven't seen one in forever, but we'll make up for it with work.
MC: what / ...so they're precision support?
(C) Astar: Yep.
Polaris Mask: You actually got that?

Astar: They go everywhere to give kids presents, jumping walls and roofs. Too finicky for spaceships. They also move around fast to get everyone in one night. So yeah, reindeer is manual mode for the ship, supporting from the outside.
MC: Annnd you call them reindeer? / Authors do that? / cute name
Astar: It wasn't my idea, it was the designer's.
Astar frowns, but he doesn't seem that put out by it.

Astar: Well anyways. Operators or whatever? Transform everyone else.
MC: O-okay! / Melide, together.
(B) Melide: Right.

Monomasa and the mob wrestlers suit up!
Astar: Here we go. Command code, input.
The ship transforms.

Polaris Mask: Wait hold up, we're technically in space!
Purple: OH GOD I CAN'T BRE--oh wait I can breathe?
Blue: And I'm not cold. Isn't space supposed to be cold?
Astar: What? The ship has an atmospheric control shield around it. It's the outermost part, so we're fine no matter what the inside is like if it's intact. The ship even has a train and boat mode.
Monomasa: ...is that related to what you said about aliens hiding themselves before?
Astar: Yeah. Camouflage for wherever it is. I was taught it's a huge pain in the ass if people know you're an alien.
MC: Weeeird / what / that aside, cool!

Polaris Mask: But anyways, this is so cool!
Monomasa: Most spaceships don't focus on transformation after all.
Astar: Hmm, we should reach our next destination soon. How about we try actually pulling the sleigh? Everyone out and front so I can teach you.
Astar jumps out.

Polaris Mask: WAIT WHAT
Astar: ...what? I just said there's a shield around the ship.
Astar is apparently walking midair!

Monomasa: ...so it's still like moving while inside the ship?
Astar: Yeah, here's mostly the same as over where you guys are standing. Now get over here.
Polaris Mask: Space walking!? I'm so in!
Red: Wait, me too!
Blue: Same! OMG this is so cool!
MC: well they're sure excited / Aren't they scared!? / Yeaaaah!
(AB) Melide: Maybe I should be more like that...
Monomasa: Nah we should take it slow Melide, MC.
(C) Monomasa: Slow down MC, Melide and I will go together with you.
Melide: Tee hee, it's kind of fun watching everyone.

Later
Astar: Okay time for the reins. Command code input.
Suddenly!
Melide: Wait, there's reins on me now?
Reins of light connect everyone to the sleigh!

Astar: Okay there's a trick to starting up, lemme show you. First, standard operations. The ship guarantees the speed while the reindeer controls the ship. Just make sure you don't let the ship run you over.
MC: wait hold up
Astar: Alright, go!
Astar grabs the reins! Power courses through everyone!

Red: Wait, how do I control this!?
The sleigh boots up!

Astar: Get ready to go.

Later
Red: Oh my god, I'm running IN SPACE
Purple: Look at me, girl, daddy's gonna be a reindeer!
Everyone's speeding up!

Melide: L-let's be careful as we go! But I'm surprised we can keep running like this.
Astar: The sleigh maintains it. The reindeer control the direction and acceleration.
Monomasa: This is still clearly not normal running speeds, how fast can this go?
Astar: Hmm, we should start heading down. Command code input!
The sleigh starts descending! REALLY diving now! Everyone's having a good time! And then Astar lets go of the reins.
Rest of Party: WHAT

(Almost) free fallin'~
Red: Oh god what now!?
Purple: My little girl's not even school age yet!
Green: MAMAAAA
Astar: Calm your tits, the shield's still working. Just hold onto the reins, think of where you want to go, and run.
MC: Uhhhh, like this...?
Everyone follows Astar's directions. Still free fallin'~! If anything, the ship is going meteor mode now. Atmospheric friction!

Melide: Um, I don't think this is working right...
Polaris Mask: I got gravity magic, I got this! Let's goooo!
Polaris Mask deploys his wrestling ring Parallel Weapon around the sleigh! The sleigh starts reangling a little!

Polaris Mask: Okay this should help a li--wait what
Back to zooming down like a meteor!

Polaris Mask: BUT WHY THO!? I still have the wrestling ring as a Santa wrestler!
Monomasa: We're approaching clouds and the surface now, focus on flying!
Polaris Mask: Dammit, I guess it's literally fly or die now! We are making it through this!
Blue: Y-yeah, I'm not going out like this!
Yellow: We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it, we're gonna make it!
Everyone keeps trying, though things still aren't looking any better! Preeetty close to the ground now!

MC: WORK GODDAMMIT
Melide: Please...!

Going past the clouds now! The surface is getting detailed! The ship is starting to level out and slow down!
Monomasa: D-did we stabilize?
Astar: Seems so. Not bad for your first time.
Astar nods with his arms crossed.

Polaris Mask: Were you just gonna let us die if we didn't pull it off!?
Astar: I was gonna put on the brakes if it came to it.
Polaris Mask: Man, Sparta didn't toss kids into waters this deep back then!
Astar: They also didn't have deadlines this tight. You guys got it the first time, so it should be fine going forward.
Green: Guys are we dead
Purple: I'm gonna write my daughter a letter or something...
Blue: We still have a show to do...maybe I should call in sick.
MC: Damn, being Santa is hard / you know this seems kinda cool actually

Melide: ...I'm worried about what he'll make us do next.
Monomasa: He's fearsome...
Astar: Guys stop whining. Look, we're almost there.
Looks like some city in the subarctics. There's a big tent over there with hot air balloons with signs.

MC: ...Yatomi Circus? Wait.
And so the party sets down, cold winds setting in as the sleigh's shield disengages.

End of Episode 

Magical Snow Land Episode 1 Part 2 (Abridged)

Tianzun: Yeeeeaaaahhhh!
Hastur: Hmm. I did not know puny humans could withstand G forces of this level.
Part of the party's on a roller coaster that's about to go down a slope.

MC: (scream!) / (cheer!) / (not even on the ride)
(A) Koropokkur: Haha, wanna hold my hand?
Tianzun: Wait, that's my job!
Koropokkur: We picked seats with RPS, deal with it.
(B) Tianzun: Yeah, louder MC!
(C) On the ground
Jack Frost: Roller coasters? Meh.
Yoshito looks surprised.

Jack: Hey! You think it's weird for a punk or park mascot, huh!?
Yoshito: Oh no, everyone has their own reasons for things.
MC: You could've gone on / Sorry to make you stay with me / I bet you're fine with other kinds of screaming, huh?
Yoshito: It's fine Master. I'm supposed to stay with you.

Break time from the rides! The party decides to poke around some gift shop. The Frosty stuff is the most popular, and Jack Frost has his hood up because that feels weird.
MC: (hug a Frosty doll) / Frosty sure is popular / I've got the real thing, I'm good
(A) Jack: It's WEIRD seeing you so happy with that thing, but whatever...
(B) Jack: The power of theme park marketing.
(C) Jack: WHAT? I'm not taking any blame if you catch a cold!
Tianzun: Jack, MC, over here!

Jack Frost and MC turn to the party.
Tianzun: Look! Balloons! Also maybe Hastur really should dress up. MC, go bug him to change.
Hastur: What!? MC, you think I'm fine as is don't you!?
MC: Well if you're that against it... / Come onnnn, do it
---
(A) Hastur seems happy.
(BC) Hastur: ...fiiiine, I suppose I can.
---
MC: Yoshito where'd you get a Moritaka balloon / Yoshito you're really getting into this
(AB) Yoshito: You noticed, Master?
Jack: Forget noticed, where'd it come from!?
Yoshito: I kept this hidden away in case Master decides to bring "viva la revolución Moritaka!" here. Oh wait, that's still a WIP.

Tianzun: Why aren't Koropokkur and Snegurochka back from changing yet?
Well looky there!

Snegurochka: Hi guys, I'm back as Magical Wizard Girl Snegurochka! How do I look?
MC: Cute!
Snegurochka: Thanks! I'm the story hero who saves people! Tianzun can be the sort of evil threatening sorceror...or my minion! And Yoshito the guard captain!
Tianzun: Okay! I'mma terrorize all the little people...with fun!
Snegurochka: Awesome! Like...Sleeping Beauty or something!
MC: Nice / what about me? / (watch)

Jack Frost: Isn't anyone gonna point out how dumb this is?
Snegurochka: Jackie, come on! You'll be my familiar Frosty!
Jack: Pffft, I don't wanna be your flunky. Can't I be something else if I have to?
Koropokkur: ...hey you guys I don't think I fit the theming here.
Spacesuit Koropokkur!

Koropokkur: Who knows what those dicks I know will say if they see me in this!?
MC: Nice!
Koropokkur: ...okay fine I'll wear it then.
Snegurochka: You can be the space invader out to brainwash people!
Koropokkur: OOF! ...but maybe I can work with that?

Meanwhile...
Pazuzu: Hmm, are they having fun...? They are dressed up though.
Yuma: Too many people...
Alp: But we came all this way to have fun! I wanna go on the roller coaster!
Pazuzu: Let's just make sure lizard boy is having fun first, then we can go. Here, Frosty ice cream and candy!
Yuma: Ooh...
Alp: Thanks Senpai! Hmm, Frosty's popular. Maybe I should scope him out a bit...
The Ueno gang is spying on the party. Also...

Moritaka: Oh good, I was worried Yoshito wouldn't react well to strangers.
Tanetomo: Then why didn't you just go with?
Moritaka: I thought about it, but Yoshito just said "you should go with Master without me." I can go anytime, so he should take this time for himself.
Tanetomo: Aww, you sound like a father. Your relationship with him is a bit different compared to the rest of us.
Moritaka: He's changing now, but we did have a secret oath of brothers back in the day.
Masanori: Ah. Well things seem fine.
Moritaka: WAIT
Masanori: What is it?
Moritaka: This Frosty dessert is so good!
Tanetomo and Masanori are unimpressed, then they and the Ueno gang notice each other.

Pazuzu and Moritaka: um

Anyways, back to the party! Nobody's noticed the tailing friends yet. Time to split up for some tea cup ride!
Tianzun: Guys we are going to burn the rubber SO HARD!
Nyoom!

Jack Frost: OH GOD HELP
Koropokkur: Why'd I get stuck with you people!?
The other half of the party is watching them go.

Snegurochka: So Yoshito, did you make that doll yourself?
Yoshito: Yes, I made it to look like my childhood friend Moritaka.
Snegurochka: Ooh, tell me more!
Yoshito: Um, I don't have much I can tell in polite company...too much sinning.
Snegurochka looks sad.

Snegurochka: I don't think Moritaka would mind if he modeled for your doll.
Yoshito: Oh, he tried talking me out of it. He gave up first.
Snegurochka: Oh, heh. Well I'm sure he cares about you.
Snegurochka looks off into the distance, smiling. Hastur seems distracted.

MC: What's up? Didn't want to ride with me?

Hastur: Hm? No. I just have concerns whether it's safe for me to be in a public human setting.
MC: You worried about that? / Elder God problems? / Uh, yeah totally?
---
(A) Hastur: Must you insist I state the obvious?
(B) Hastur: Silence, Foreigner in a human meatbag, I know how strange this is for me.
(C) Hastur looks genuinely surprised.
---
Flashback!

Hastur: Yuma? MC?
Welp, Hastur somehow slagged Yuma and MC. Forensics identification level, impossible.
Elsewhere

Mob: And that's the short movie the Entertainers picked up from some past loop. Tokyo's in a time loop by the way. We were given this from someone with loop memories.
Hastur's sorta picked up old loop memories from some other way, so he believes it.

Mob: So, think you'll always be able to control your powers?

Present
Hastur: Since coming to Tokyo, I believe those with power need to know how to control their power. I had some expectations too, but maybe I didn't think it through enough. But I must not let my guard down precisely when I am enjoying things, or else...
Hastur seems to remember something and shuts up.

MC: I want you to have fun! We're here anyways. / (take Hastur's hand)
---
(AB) Hastur: Pffft. I wish I could.
(C) Hastur: CEASE! Before you start clinging like moss the way you do!
---
Hastur: Besides, others may have issues with us. Have you noticed we're being watched?
MC: No? Isn't it the costumes? / Yeah
(AB) Hastur: You stupid dullard. I've seen familiar faces from the watch organization who keep tabs on me.
(C) Hastur: I've seen familiar faces from the watch organization who keep tabs on me.

Hastur: Irritants, all of them. Understandable but still. They must be...
MC: Who cares? / But you aren't doing anything wrong / Okay, ass kicking time.
Hastur: ...thanks, though this is still a bit of a mood wrecker. Maybe it's time to go.
Tianzun's cup ride is over! Everyone in gets out.

Tianzun: What's up guys? Not fast enough?
Hastur: ...I'm leaving soon.
Tianzun: Why the long face? You get into a fight?
Hastur: No. Go enjoy yourselves.
Hastur tries to leave.

Snegurochka: NOOOO! No fighting!
MC: um. It's not like that.
Hastur: !!
Hastur: Curse you for ruining my attempt at being considerate.
He seems happy despite himself.

One explanation later
Snegurochka, Jack Frost and Tianzun: OMG WE'RE BEING WATCHED!?
Hastur: Stop shouting, damn you all!
Yoshito: Ohh, so our tail was watching you?
MC: You knew? / Wow, nice job Yoshito / Why didn't you say anything!?
(A) Yoshito: Yes, and I was going to dispose of them if they tried to harm you.
(B) Yoshito: O-oh, thank you Master. I was going to dispose them if they moved to harm you.
(C) Yoshito: I-I'm sorry! I thought there would be no need if I were to just dispose them if it came to it...

Yoshito: Koropokkur knows about our tail too, yes?
Koropokkur: Hm? Oh, yeah. I can tell when people are looking.
Jack Frost: Ugh, this is supposed to be a fun place. Forget about what's outside for a bit!
Koropokkur: So says Frosty!
Jack: ...yep. Same goes for you man. How about I give you the prince treatment?
Hastur: Hmph, I doubt you'd enjoy being with them.
Yoshito: So what now, Master? Do I go over and stab everyone?
MC: Okay / wAIT / maybe something else
(A) Koropokkur: No, not okay!

Hastur: They have official power and will use it if they need to.
Snegurochka: But it's wrong of them to impede Hastur trying to have fun!
Tianzun: Yeah! I have a special idea now.
Hastur: You what?
Tianzun: Operation Sneakout! We just lose them in the crowd!
Most of the party looks unimpressed.

Tianzun: W-what!? Okay lean in so I can whisper the deets...
Hastur: ...that's your idea? Is that really necessary!?
Tianzun: Well what's your bright idea!?
Hey wait the mob group of tails is mobilizing.

Mob A: Target is acting weird. Keep your guard up.
Mob B: After him!
BATTLE(?) START
(more happens after)

Mob A: We lost him!
Mob B: Wait, he went that way! Towards the Ferris wheel!
MC: Yeah they're still following us. Just as planned!
Hastur: How did it come to this? And why are you so casual about being tailed?
MC and Hastur are lined up for the Ferris wheel. Plan is to lose the tails here and regroup at the castle in the center of the park.
Hastur: Well I suppose this does allow me to have fun with you all. And I'd never stand for anyone getting in the way of my enjoyment time!
Okay, MC and Hastur's turn to get on the Ferris wheel! Still being watched.

Later
Mob A: ...why's it taking them so long to ride a Ferris wheel?
Mob B: We've been watching this whole time...hey wait, those randos went in AFTER the target did!
Mob A: They shook us off!?
Castle

Hastur: Ha! We lost them, MC! And now I look more like the King in Yellow and The Little Prince of Evil from the stars.
MC: Awesome!
Hastur: Make no mistake, I do not enjoy being part of your gaggle of buffoons. But at least those watchers are gone for now.
Hastur looks around. Nobody else is here.

Hastur: Where IS everyone else?
MC: Oh! Right! Here. (hands over a balloon)

Hastur: ...hmph. So, do I look like a part of this bundle of buffoons now?
In Old Ones, Hastur lived in was confined to the cursed city of Carcosa. It had the lake with two setting suns and the stone library of the Elder Gods' knowledge. Here there be disease and death where no puny humans should get near, just like the Foreigner Hastur.

Hastur: Perhaps a little fever dream is permissible. You may...call me Big Brother Hastur. We sort of are half-siblings in a way.
MC: Um, Big Bro Hastur? / Do you want me to? / Never.
(A) Hastur: O-oh. Well, not bad.
(B) Hastur: N-NO!? It was just in jest!
(C) Hastur: You're making me look dumb here!

Hastur drags MC close with a tentacle.
Hastur: Did you come to Tokyo and take that form to experience this fever?
Imposing Hastur.

MC: WHAT / okay / (dokidoki!)
(AC) Hastur: What? You never stopped when I told you to back then. You can cut yourself away from anything if you wanted to. Unless...? Fool, madness will take you long before you touch anything!

Koropokkur and Yoshito are here judging. Snegurochka and Tianzun are taken aback. Jack Frost seems embarrassed.
Snegurochka: Wow Hastur, you look handsome!
Hastur: WHERE'D YOU PEOPLE COME FROM AND WHAT WERE YOU DOING
Tianzun: Yoshito talked things out with someone he knew who used to be with the police.
Yoshito: I will stab you if you do anything untoward to Master.
Hastur: L-like what!? Who would even--
Yoshito: (gasp!) How blind you are to Master's charms!
Hastur: UGH. We were just doing a little pretend like you were before, you irritating fools!

Snegurochka: Oh you wanted to join us? Why didn't you just say so?
Koropokkur: Welp, sucks to be you. One of us! One of us!
Hastur: Fiiine.
Snegurochka: Yaaay! Okay now...
Jack: Stop looking at me like that, I'm not joining in!
Sibling fight!

Hastur: ...I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused you.
Surprised party!

Snegurochka: I'm fine with it! Where do you want to go next, Hastur?
Tianzun: That's a good idea! Now the fun's really starting.
Hastur: Hm? Well...
And so the party goes to Hastur's suggestion. The day's only just begun.

Elsewhere in the park
Masanori: Alright. I'll try asking myself through an intermediary.
Moritaka: Wait, did Yoshito notice us?
Tanetomo: Maybe? Tailing clearly doesn't seem to be your strong suit.
Masanori: Apparently we weren't the only tails.
Pazuzu: I think I know. Mind if I join in?
Masanori: By all means.
Tanetomo seems to figure it out.

Tanetomo: So what now, Moritaka? I think they'll notice if we keep following them. The ~~police~~ decoys have reached the end of their usefulness.
Moritaka: Wait what police!?

Yuma stares at Moritaka.
Yuma: Moritaka. Shake too?
Yuma: Wow Yuma you sure seem into Moritaka! I guess it's because you're a wolf thing?
Moritaka: What do you mean, "too?" I am no dog!
Yuma: Tanetomo, shake?
Tanetomo: No? :)
Yuma: I'msorryI'msorryI'msorry
Tanetomo checks the time.

Tanetomo: Maybe now we should split off, avoid the event party, and enjoy our time here?
Alp: Awesome! I'm done with spy stuff for today!
Moritaka: Yuma, do not anger the Tanetomo or...
Tanetomo notices. :) Moritaka shuts up.

Tanetomo: I'm like a princess you find in stories. I'm not much different in and out of a theme park.
Alp: Oh, oh! I wanna be the most popular cast member!
Moritaka: (cough) ice queen (cough)
And so the theme park day begins for Moritaka's group.

End of Episode 

Magical Snow Land Episode 1 Part 1 (Abridged)

Jack Frost: Hey kids, it's me Frosty! Welcome to Magical Snow La--
Jack: !?
Surprise for Jack and Snegurochka!

Snegurochka: W-what are you doing, Jackie?
Jack: OH MY GOD YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO SAY MY NAME WHEN I'M IN CHARACTER
Jack muffles Snegurochka and checks if anyone heard!
Jack: Why the hell did you follow me? Just leave me alone.
Koropokkur: She was lost so I brought her here.
Jack: Goddammit, boss!
Koropokkur: Now now, you're still on the job "Frosty."

A bunch of kids run up to Jack Frost!
Kids: Yay, Frosty! Pictures! Hugs!
Jack: Sure, get in line!
Boy A: Ooh, nice and cool skin.
Koropokkur: Hey, I'll take a pic for you!
Girl B: Frosty, headpats please!
Jack: Okay! Look at the camera and say "Frosty!"
Snegurochka is taken aback! ...then joins the line.

Jack: Damn you move fast. Is this for blackmail? It is, isn't it? I'm so dead.
Snegurochka: What kind of person do you think I am!? I just want a picture with Frosty!
People start noticing Magical Girl Snegurochka is here and ask for pictures too!

Koropokkur: Okay back off people, Snegurochka's not working right now.
Snegurochka: Oh, it's okay!
Snegurochka and Jack Frost whisper when things calm down.

Jack: ...so you skipped school too? Starting your delinquent arc?
Snegurochka: You promised you'd tell me what you were doing if I came with.
Jack: I didn't think you'd go for it! So what are you here for? Gonna shout from the rooftops? Make it extra loud so the class at school can hear!
Snegurochka: UGH, I said I'm not gonna! Why are you keeping this secret though? Grandpa knows and said it was okay, right?
Jack: Suuuure, it's totes easy for the school punk to say he part times as a wholesome little park mascot. Not like I don't have a rep or anything.
He seems touched though.

Snegurochka: I'm sure you'd be popular if you spoke up about it!
Jack Frost: I-it's not like I care about that or anything... Little kids are better, they all run up to me in the winter.
Koropokkur nods along.

Snegurochka: Does that mean you like me since I'm a little snow girl?
Jack: ...not really.
Snegurochka: But why though!?
Jack smiles at Snegurochka's pouting.

Snegurochka: Tee hee, well tell me if you ever change your mind. Magical Girl Snegurochka will help you!
Jack is surprised and is about to say "thanks" when...

Boy C: Frosty, take pictures with me!
Jack: O-oh, sure!

Later, Santa School
Snegurochka: Hey guys, how about we do the Santa Sendoff at a theme park? Oujimachi Academy's staff runs Magical Snow Land, so we could ask for a school collab.
Guy A: Cool idea, Snegurochka!
Girl B: Isn't that an elementary school with lots of good kids? Seems weird for Santas to ask them for help.
Snegurochka: I was thinking of asking for help with making events exciting! And I might know a guy...
Guy A: Oh my god, someone in show biz!?
Snegurochka: Tee hee, it's a surprise!
Snegurochka winks at Jack Frost! Jack just sighs.

Flashback! Lunch time for Jack Frost and Snegurochka! It's super cold in the school courtyard, but they don't care.
Snegurochka: This is great!
Jack: ...can you stop following me already?
Snegurochka: Am I in the way...?
Jack: W-why are you acting all soft all of a sudden? And no. But now people are talking about how you keep calling me Big Bro...
Snegurochka bursts into laughs.

Snegurochka: Haha, you fell for it! But it's sweet of you to try to push me away. But I'm a TV star, remember? People gossip about me all the time, Big Bro. You couldn't persuade me either. Unless...?
Jack Frost: Why you little--!!
Snegurochka: Nooo, not the noogie!
Jack and Snegurochka are shocking passing randos.

Jack: ...so why didn't you blab about my theme park gig?
Snegurochka: Oh my god Jackie, you're okay with telling people now!?
Jack: Nah...I mean, I thought maybe sorta...?
Snegurochka: Oh, then I've got an idea!

Present
Jack Frost: (How was I supposed to say no!? Maybe I should have anyways...)
The class is looking at Snegurochka as she talks about the theme park.

Jack: I guess I could always call out as Frosty on Christmas. And it'd be weird if I were here for Christmas...
Jack looks at Snegurochka again.

Jack: Okay, I'm gonna try talking with people this time!
Jack: (thinks)
Jack: ...make it next time.

Later
Magical Snow Land

Jack Frost: ...why are you here again?
Snegurochka: Prelim checks since we're doing the Santa Sendoff here.
Koropokkur: Yep! Anything to entertain the kids! Also Santas are some of the good adults.
Snegurochka: Thanks, we'll make the Sendoff a wonderful time!
Koropokkur: It's no big deal. Tell me if you need anything!
Jack wants to say something but can't because he's on the clock. Anyways, here comes the rest of the event cast!
MC: omg cute polar bear! (gets in line) / damn, look at all the ankle biters
(AB) Hastur: That's what you're into?
Yoshito: Master, Moritaka's fatter and fluffier!
Tianzun: Let's take pictures! Too bad Hastur wouldn't put on a costume...
(C) Tianzun: It's okay, anyone can come have fun! But it's too bad Hastur won't put on a costume...

Hastur: Why should I!? And why take a group picture!? ...me and MC will suffice.
Yoshito: I feel strange smiling...also why am I here instead of Moritaka?
Tianzun: So I can fix your sad boy vibes! Good times for everyone!
MC just took everyone along instead of deciding, as one does. Koropokkur notices.

Koropokkur: Oh hey MC, come to be a kid again?
MC: I guess? / Why are you here? / I came to hang out with everyone!
---
(AC) Koropokkur: Cool! How about I guide you around? I own this joint.
(B) Koropokkur: Because I own this joint!
---
Koropokkur: I made this paradise for kids with another person.
MC: The polar bear over there? / You sound like an adult / You're not kicking me out, are you?
(A) Koropokkur: Him? Nah.
(B) Koropokkur: (GASP) The forbidden words!
(C) Koropokkur: Oh, you want me to toss you into the river while frozen? Kidding. Besides...it was the wish of the one I worked with to make this place open and fun for everyone. Surprisingly, I don't hate every minute of it.

Snegurochka: Do you know them, Koropokkur? Hello, I'm Snegurochka!
MC: (introduce yourself) / OMG I'm a huge fan and watch all your shows!
---
(BC) Snegurochka: Aww, thank you!
---
Snegurochka: Anyways, you all look friendly. Nice outfits!
Tianzun: I know right? This idea was awesome! Man Hastur, you really should've dressed up.
Hastur: SILENCE! It physically pains me to be seen in your presence!
Snegurochka: But dressing up helps you get into the right state of mind!
Tianzun: Mood, girl!
MC: Why do you have so many outfits? / Cosplay, awesome! / Is that why we came here?
(A) Tianzun: There's a parade coming! Costumes are part of the deal!
(B) Tianzun: Yeeeaah!
(C) Tianzun: Yep! This place is okay with it unless it's not an event season.

Tianzun: Okay guys, I'm a villainous little devil! You can spank me if you want, MC.
Yoshito: I can give you more than a spanking if you won't stop lewding Master...
Tianzun: No wait, stop! I was just kidding and trying to lighten the mood!
Koropokkur: Oh my god MC, you can't just bring people here who might start stabbing each other. This is a public facility!
MC: Yeah I'm worried / He's good. I think. / I'll handle it.
Koropokkur: Okay yeah I'll guide you guys! We'll go clockwise!
Hastur: Behold, MC! There is a VR space ride here! Bold of them to put place one before a Foreigner's eyes!
Yoshito: I'd like to...visit the Ferris wheel and castle.
MC: Sounds good / What should we do while waiting? / What's our lunch plan?
(B) Tianzun: I can handle that! With mini-games!
(C) Tianzun: I've already looked the place up!

Snegurochka seems sad everyone else is having fun.
Snegurochka: ...can I join you guys? I came alone today.
The party looks at each other for the hell of it.

Tianzun: Sure! Right, MC?
Hastur: It'd make this party less crazy at least.
MC: It's okay! Honestly I'm wondering if it's actually okay to ask you along.
Snegurochka: Thanks! Too bad Big Bro Jackie's busy...
Koropokkur: What, you wanna go play with Jack? I can go get him.

A minute later or something
Jack Frost: Feels like you're getting meaner lately, Koropokkur. Also, you want me to hang around a bunch of complete strangers?
Koropokkur: Bitch, you owe me for hiring you on as Frosty when you were bumming around Oji and Aragawa.
Jack: Dude, what? And wouldn't it look bad for me to wander around here out of my mascot suit?
Koropokkur: It's cool, your vibes are way different in and out of suit. If I have to, I guess I can give you Presence Concealment with my artifact.
Jack: Pffft, weirdo. You know I'd never huddle under it with you.
MC: Your brother's a polar bear? Wow! / You seem so different now. / So cool!

Koropokkur: Whoops, you got found out...oh well! MC's not part of Santa School, so it's cool.
Jack Frost: Dammit, are you the type of asshole to cancel me over Twitter or something? 'cause I will so drag you with me to hell if you do.
Koropokkur: They're cool, stop huffing your paint fumes.
Jack groans, then sizes up the party.

Snegurochka: Nooo, Jackie! This is why nobody likes you at school! So you guys, um, this is my big brother Jackie and he's actually a nice guy and--
Jack: Ohmygodshutup!
Snegurochka: So, um, please be friends with us! We don't really have any...
Jack is silently dying of cringe behind Snegurochka.

Tianzun: Becoming friends sounds great, huh guys?
Yoshito: Maybe not from someone like me who might literally backstab you.
Hastur: And I could stomp out you puny things in seconds. B-but I might still grant you an audience if that is not an issue.
Tianzun: Would it kill you guys to just say yes?
MC: Well if you're okay with weirdos. / Oh you guys~ / I'm in!
Snegurochka: Tee hee, you're just like Jack. He's always pushing people away saying they'll catch a cold near him.
Jack: What the everloving hell kind of guy do you think I am???
Hastur: A Foreigner like me? Just like him? In what galaxy!?
Jack: How about the one where I put you on permanent ice, lizard face?
Hastur: Lizard!? HOW DARE
MC: Mkay, moving on / Aww, friends! / Shut up, guys!

Snegurochka: I-I'm sorry, I keep running my mouth without thinking...!
Tianzun: Now now, girl, that's not how you should act with friends. Chill.
Koropokkur: Ugh, you are all a pain in my ass. Ahem, ~Frosty~!
Jack suddenly stops and smiles...then gets pissy at the trick.

Koropokkur: Didja see that, Snegurochka? That's a magical spell that works on Jack!
Jack: GODDAMMIT
Yoshito: I'm starting to get excited among all these people.
MC: You look like you're enjoying yourself / Looking forward to things? / I'm glad you're excited
(A) Yoshito: I...suppose. This makes me nervous, but not unpleasantly so.
(B) Yoshito: Perhaps...ever since I put on this outfit, I think.
(C) Yoshito: P-please, don't worry on my account!

Hastur: So where are we going to already?
Snegurochka: Um, there's something I want to go ride on! Line's long, so can you tell me about yourselves in the meantime?
Tianzun: Okay! Me first! So when I first met MC...
Yoshito: I have something too! When MC and Moritaka met...
Jack Frost looks so done with this. Snegurochka smiles at him.

Jack: Fiiiine, I'll come with.
Koropokkur: Lemme tell you about when I first Jack, where he got frozen out by the class and--
Jack: NOWAITSTOP
There's somebody spying on the party...

Mob: Target found. Tailing in secret...
Hastur: (stares)
MC: What's up? Don't fall behind now! / (drag Hastur along)
---
(AB) Hastur: Oh, you want me to come with you, do you? Well I'm coming.
(C) Hastur: Don't touch me so casually, fool!
---
Hastur looks back one more time before continuing on.
