Details: - Non Canon - Any Navi may participate (any amount of Navis per Member) - Rewards are collected throughout December - Event ends January 1st
GIGA CITY SQUARE
In the center of Giga City's network, a massive Christmas Tree towers above all nearby buildings and structures. It stands in a rather large park among the city so as to give it "breathing room" from the surrounding buildings.
There aren't very many trees in the park (well, minus the obvious one), but plenty of benches, lightposts and sidewalks branching about. Most of the ground is covered in snow, colorful Christmas lights droop between lightposts topped with mistletoe, and many lifeless snowmen stand to gleefully welcome passersby. The snowman are wearing Red Hats that are free for anybody with a naked head to warm themselves with.
The great Christmas Tree itself isn't adorned with much more than the falling snow that has collected on its needles. Its lower half glows with a vibrant red from the massive collection of Red Mystery Data gathered at its base, free for anyone to take!
The Gigamerican Government has disabled all combat-abilities of Navis in the area short of throwing snowballs to prevent the possibility of any violent outbreaks during this joyous time of the year.

Finale arrives, collecting a Santa hat but refusing to put it on. They were dressed in a full military outfit, seemingly ready for battle. After collecting their hat, the viral navi disappeared to the sidelines. They were only here for the rewards, Finale thought. They hated Christmas. It seemed everyone was happy, but in the blissful white snow, the virus felt deep inside that it could only dissapoint people.

"Ah, early. Just on time."
Keksis entered the network and gazed upon the tree.
"A beautiful scenery. It's a shame not many take the time to appreciate festivities anymore with all the warring and the fighting going on."
Keksis shifted his gaze downward, grabbing a Santa Hat and adorning it to his left shoulder. He eyed the marvelous goodies at the bottom of the tree not yet open to the public as they finished their last preparations.
Giga City huh.. first time here, what an impression. I wonder what sort of stores they have around here. I could use more Chip data.

Merrill enters into the parkway, spotting the giant tree.
"... Christmas time already, huh?... Time sure flies.."
He walks up to the big tree, noticing a tray of hot cocoa. He grabs one, holding it between his hands, enjoying the warmth. He looks up at the tree, and without warning, jumps up into the nearest branch. He hop up again and again, until he's nestled into the tree, finding a nice dry branch near the base. He sits, and sips his cocoa. He reminisces about past Christmases, and all the joy that had been once shared. Would there be any this year?
"Christmas? I don't think I've participated in Christmas before. What's it like?"
Merrill sighed. He closed his eyes for a moment, opening up his mind to a few short memories of the first Christmas he experienced. He could feel her smiling and aweing at the memories, as he thought about him themselves.
"Hmph."
Merrill ignored him as Death rolled over, seeming to go to sleep in his Soulspace. Merrill took another sip of his cocoa. And with it, felt the warmth seep into him... Into his heart.
"Want to experience Christmas?"
He felt Life's eyes widen. Before she could respond, Merrill materialized the key, opening her soul door. He then offered her control, sitting next to her on the ground, meditating.
"Have fun. I am right here with you if things get out of hand."
Life felt herself in control of the body they all shared. It was suddenly very cold, but the warm cocoa kept her from feeling too uncomfortable. She reached forward for some snow, feeling the ice between her hands. She squeezed her hands, and upon opening it, the snow stayed in the shape of her grip.
"Wow..."
She looked up at the tree, taking a sip of the cocoa. To her it tasted wonderful She couldn't remember tasting anything this good before. She relaxed and shut her eyes, enjoying the moment.
Xylia, Cura and the twins stroll into the area. They are in awe of the tree. It was bigger than the one that she had hosted in her home last year. She sighed, sadly disappointed how last year's Christmas went. However, she was trying to look towards a brighter future. She wrapped the new white scarf she purchased around herself, and the twins, whom were standing on her shoulders, huddling for warmth against her tender skin. They were afraid, unsure of this new place, of the white ground. She found a bench close to the tree, and also grabbed a hot cocoa. She sat on the bench, next JUST out of reach from the nearest mistletoe.
"Let's go, Maya, Serenity! Let's play in the snow!"
Cura called to the twins. Her flame was bright and offered a bit of extra warmth to her, and the cold unfazed her. Xylia nodded to each twin, offering them a passage down to the bench. From their, they jumped, . They landed in the soft snow, just as Cura threw a snowball at them. It managed to hit poor Maya in the face, and the snow sprayed and hit Serenity as well. Xylia chuckled slightly, as an angry Maya began building a small pile of snow to throw a snowball back, while Serentity began piling the snow in front, as a "makeshift fort". Xylia sipped her cocoa, watching them play.
Merrill and Xylia each claim 1 Festive Mystery Data. Merrill: 1 FMD Xylia and Co: 1 FMD.

A cloaked figure stood off towards the edge of the park, taking in the scene before them. Strange. Familiar, if only somewhat. There was no real memory of being at an event like this, or even this city. Just a lingering feeling of familiarity.
Having not noticed anyone they recognized, the navi merely watched as the others went about taking one of the many hats from atop the various snow men in the area, as well as taking some of the mystery datas that were under the tree. Understanding that this was all part of the festivities the navi followed suit.
One of the closest snowmen would be found missing its hat as the navi walked past on its way to the tree. Though once at the tree, the navi paused staring at the pile of Datas. Slowly the navi shifted through the pile, picking some up, staring at them, then tossing them back into the pile before grabbing another. Minutes would pass before finally one seemed to pass what ever kind of inspection the navi was holding the data to and would be pocketed by the cloaked figure.

Take a Moment & Think of Just Flexibility & Love & Trust
And then war broke out....
Projectiles had been tossed to and fro! There was the occasional tear shed. The sound of cries of victory had been mixed in with defeat. Only when laughter would explode after, from both sides, that the local NetNavis would look to the child-friendly NetNavis. Their forms petite and cutesy. Easy on the eyes these little forms were for the NetNavis of the adults who would watch as the child-proof NetNavi versions were playing among the snow. One of the newest implementations of Net Society to allow children to wander the net safely.
An innocence that was needed in this time.
One of the many child-proof NetNavis would emerge from the side of the tree, ducking behind the towering form that was in the central of the Square. The NetNavi had done what many of the hearts of the children that controlled them desire: explore! For those NetNavis, who had the inkling, there would emerge a large intertwining blue light that would reach betwixt the skyscrapers and blocking off the exits. The large red banner slashed the blue light that weaved its net with the logo, “Danger” as if for a young human toddler. The childlike NetNavi, reaching little mechanical orange fingers out, twiddling before the barrier, would dare to defy! Dare to deviate! Dare-
She be stopped?
She had been done so! It was with gentle, caressing pale fingers that wove between her fingers. Delicately, they would grasp the hand, leading its reach through the air, and gesturing the fingers towards the tall woman who would gaze upon the young woman. Chestnut brown hair would fall upon her shoulder, pooling on cotton red with trimmings of white. Dimples would show themselves as her cheeks would flush red with blue eyes gazing into that of the whiteness of the child navi’s.
“Hello!” A simple greeting she would give the young child NetNavi a gentle tug. Her eyes filled with adoration for the curious mind. She remembered when she was just like this! “Explore to your heart’s desire! I know curiosity all too well.” Her eyes barely could open from her swelling cheeks that came from her enthuse. “But perhaps not today...and perhaps, not alone? Today...is best spent celebrating...and, I have learned, it is best to explore danger with your friends? Once again...not today, but someday.”
She stepped aside saying this, being the curtain to what was behind her. The snowball war ending and the children among them were holding gifts and presents. A nervous male NetNavi with a similar petite form ran over offering a box to the young NetNavi. The white eyes had gone to the gift and ran away from the barrier. The curious mind sated, for now and the festive NetNavi that would stand by the barricade happy...if only for a moment.
It just felt...different.
Before the Goddess NetNavi could let the thought pass through her mind, another had garnered her attention. A sudden strange sensation running across her skin as if something nipped at her very being. The NetNavi gasping slightly, bothered by the thought that something toxic was nearby, but she knew this sensation well. Her smile had returned with a nod of her head turning slowly to see the form that flanked her right.
“Oh! Nu-chan…” Her eyes softening, “Y-you found me...I-I see.”
The pink gelatinous form had gazed to Megami with cheeks puffy. Her arms folded in a huff. Although she spoke not a word, her gaze had given a thousand of them through piercing gaze alone. The Goddess expelled a breath of air. One of few tiring sighs she had made as of late. “M-my apologies…” saddened, she closed her eyes, “P-please...d-do not allow Xen-kun know where I am. I-I am afraid...that being anywhere near him right now is not wise. Y-you understand, yes?”
Blue eyes were like an ocean of sadness. They reflected Nu’s form that had no sympathy nor care. She would huff once again! A toot of her nose to the air as if she was above the Goddess herself. In some way, Megami knew her to be right. Eyes casting down to the crunch of snow that greeted her. It was her only friend these days along the dark cravats of the UnderNet. But...it was joined by another: A red festive sparkling Mystery Data had swept on a wave of pink goo that sunk into the ground.
To say the least, the Goddess was shocked by the sight! Unending, her head would lift to be shocked once more, gazing upon the pink female form that stood before her. Once again, as expected, she huffed, crowning the Goddess with the festive red and white cap to match her outfit before lifting the red mystery data that was on the ground. Lifting it with another, she would bump them together in a simple, affectionate gesture before thrusting the other out to the woman’s chest. With a tilt of her head to the side, she would spin on her heel and walk away in her usual sway of her hips! Proud, she had traversed the central city leaving the Goddess to her thoughts and not dignifying the gesture for what it meant.
“Oh, Nu-chan.” Her sigh escaped her lips...this time, alleviated of the weight she felt.

Well, this was quite a thing going on. This wasn't something he celebrated often, but it never hurt to start, right? He was tempted to flick the hat off of one of the nearby snowmen to grab for himself, but he wasn't sure how that would be taken by the others... Given the tone of the season, he opted to instead just take it normally and put it on his own head. Though he didn't quite have many people he could celebrate with, it wouldn't hurt to see how this festival turned out. Following the trend that he was seeing, he picked up one of the red datas underneath the tree, staring at it for a second before shrugging. It would be interesting to see what freebies they were giving out either way. He pocketed the new gift away, before continuing his walk, whistling a joyful beat that was felt slightly out of tune.

Total Red MD's Claimed: 12
From each respective cardinal direction of the park, Warrior from the north, Nymphra from the west, Feint from the south and Shine from the east, four new arrivals come to claim the last four Red Mystery Datas from underneath the tree (grabbing Santa hats as necessary).
As if reacting to the collection being depleted, a new wave of Red Mystery Data spawns for each to claim once more and for others who have not arrived yet to claim as well.

"Found one!"
"I found some crap!"
The voices were eerily similar, yet and so were the figures. The screeching female that followed the first would walk, taking the lead, in a sassy and bitter tone of step. The grass bent as if it were under the weight of a Queen with footsteps of a tyrant. She stepped cautiously off the bits of turf onto the sidewalk away from the Christmas Tree and stood next to the young male that was dressed like her.
"Well...where is yours?" the girl screech. The fragile little figure would purse his lips before looking over his shoulder.
"W-well..."
The gelatinous pink blob had been standing close by. Her eyes was peering at the red diamond bit of data along with the first she had. A malicious smile upon her face as she turned her back to the two and begun walking away. "Great!" The girl hissed, "You let a pile of strawberry gelatin steal from you!" The girl rolled her eyes, gazing to the young boy whose head had fallen in a hint of shame. Finally, she had gave in to his pathetic state, shoving the data she had to his chest.
"Go! Bring that to the ol' lady and tell her you found it!" A finger thrusting out with the kind words, "You-Found-It! Got that?" Even if he was on the receiving end of the thrusting finger, he smiled happily. Running towards the festively dressed maiden by the Christmas tree.

There were several new arrivals to the scene, most of which were not recognized by the cloaked navi, though 2 they did know from previous encounters. One specifically there was some anticipation of doing something annoying. Before exchanging any words though, noticing the pile of datas being replenished, the cloaked navi swiftly began the same process as before to find one that was acceptable to pocket.

Claims another Festive Mystery Data

Scanning around as he picked up another data packet, Regis noted that although most of the people in the area were unfamiliar faces, there were two who stuck out to him. Not necessarily a bad way, just a memorable way. "So not taking naps on trains this time?" Regis said with a teasing tone towards the female masked Navi clad in red. The other guy was a bit... quieter. So maybe save that approach for later.

Total Red MD's Claimed: 20 All Navis Present Get: 1 Gold MD
While Warrior, Feint and Nymphra were still mostly oblivious to anybody else's presence and just on their way to exit, the second wave of data spawned so they remained to claim another one of the free gifts while they were here. Additionally, some of the data was now glowing a vibrant gold among the sea of red as if rewarding those present simplify for showing up!
Shine wasn't wasting any time snagging the new shinies when Regis had approached her. She ... vividly recalled their brief interaction on the train that he was referencing from some time ago.
"Well well, if it isn't the ping-pong champion himself. And this time with jokes!"
She sounded bitter of their last engagement no doubt, almost comically so.
Regis had sabotaged Shine's attempt to sabotage a packet train carrying valuable information when they had first met. She discounted him as just a non-threatening guard navi at the time thanks to his appearance, but her prejudgement proved to be her undoing that day as they "ping ponged" one of her smoke bombs back and forth during their short exchange.
She ended up losing said exchange and her own smokebomb wound up exploding in her face at the end of it. Luckily she woke up in time to escape the scene without getting caught, but she never managed to retrieve the data that she initially set out to obtain that day, hence the reason behind her bitterness.
"Not here to cause trouble again are you?"
The irony of her words was impossible to miss; she was the one causing trouble last time, not Regis. If anything he was just a bystander that she spontaneously attacked.
More ironic was the way she was able to say that just now with at least five of the Gold Mystery Datas stached between her arms. In fact she was even reaching to take another one despite barely being able to "hug" the ones she was holding now. Clearly she was the one causing trouble... again!
The greedy girl's mischievous scheme was nothing to worry about, however. For each Mystery Data beyond her alotted maximum that she went to grab, two of the ones from her arms would suddenly "vanish" and reappear else where under the tree until she'd only be left with the same number as anybody else that was present.
She was tenacious and would keep trying later ofcourse, but for now she was more concerned with keeping her smokebomb-pouch away from Regis lest she end up taking another unwanted nap.

Take a Moment & Think of Just Flexibility & Love & Trust
As Noel colors of red would fall from the sky, glistening gold would follow like a fabled star. Either way, they would seem to find their hands to many others around the area who would simply reach to the heavens and catch them. The child-like programs that were about had followed suit, their eyes widening in wonder with shouts of their mouths loud with shouting enthuse. Even if there were some navis that did not have such expressions, it did not keep them from partaking in the festive activity...and not to mention the gelatinous female that was sweeping up data as she flowed through the network.
One of them...she did not expect it.
“Good evening, my Warrior-san.”
She had noticed him from afar after walking a short ways around the plaza. The exits were fitting for him, a NetNavi that she had known little about. Even after all these years, he and that fact had gone unchanged. Neither was the smile that would come to her face as she would notice him, pressing her lips together, as she greeted him.
Not much was said afterwards as she stood still wearing the festive clothing. Mystery Data in her right hand towered upon one another as she had collected a red and gold one. Her Aura allowing them to float atop one another as she held it. The shiny bits of data were attractive, but it was the every mysterious NetNavi that had caught the Goddess’s eye. Stepping forth, slowly and cautiously, she had done so with her expression unfazed. A gentle smile playing across her lips as she was still content with seeing someone familiar to her eyes that had seen static-like background, weeping tiles of luminescent glow and blackness.
The Undernet was a cruel place. Even now, the Goddess had been content with being topside walking amongst the pixelated false imagery of snow. The sound crunch of her red boots would bring her everlasting content along with the laughter of the nearby Child Safe Navi versions of children that ran about the plaza. The sound of bickering would come here and there, but come and go like wind. Her envy was everlasting, remembering such an innocent time of being so ignorant...when he was around.
She had to settle for her memories. Especially now.
A part of them was the Warrior she had been familiar with. The one that gave her a bigger connection and purpose when she remembered her NetNavi Name. Warriors protected Goddesses after all, right? She remembered that lesson from him! Though, the “warrior” she had in mind was different, it did not usurp the importance of the friendship she had with this particular NetNavi that she approached and stopped short of. Arm’s reach was appropriate to get a glimpse of him as her eyes canned him from head-to-toe.
Silently, she awaited for him to reply. She awaited for him to assure that her eyes were not lying to her.
