Audio Broadcast | December 1st

[lonelysmiles]

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! Thank you for tuning in to 666 AM with me, your host and local Radio Demon, Alastor!

Now, I know what you're thinking: "Alastor! It isn't Saturday yet! You're spoiling us!"

Indeed I am, dear listeners, for I was approached by a very lovely lady who wanted to help get us all in the winter holiday spirit regardless of what specific winter holiday you in particular celebrate! I was so touched by her offer and enthusiasm that I saw no reason to deny her!

With all that out of the lady, do sit back and enjoy the performance of a lady who requires no introduction as she serenades us all!

[The music starts with thirteen tinkling bells. Then a very familiar woman begins singing, and anybody who has been around Reverein long enough realizes just who Alastor is allowing to perform on his station:]

[It's the Siren. She's back again for another year!]

Oh, what a lovely song.

I don't think I've ever had chance to hear this one before!

[lonelysmiles]

Yes, for some strange reason the locals dread her song. I haven't the foggiest why.

However, I shall pass on your compliments!

[a_sweet_little_peach]

Couldn't tell you myself, either! She has a splendid voice.

Oh, um, while I've got your metaphorical ear and literal eye -- Do you have any preferences when it comes to holiday gifts? Either in the sense of disliking them entirely or preferring to request specific ones, or a particular day you would like to receive them on?

[lonelysmiles]

[There is a pause of pure surprise.]

I see I apparently need to ask you the same question. And I don't suppose you have any favorite colors or patterns?

[He's got everybody else's things done. He can whip out one more...]

Though honestly, my good fellow, the only thing I'd dislike would be sweets. I've not much of a sweet tooth, after all, so I'd end up only giving away your hard work.

[a_sweet_little_peach]

Aw, you don't have to! I just like having the excuse to do nice things for my friends.

But if you really want to -- I like bright colors and soft textures. I shouldn't have trouble matching anything you get me, so don't worry about that.

[There's little spots of ink where Ralsei absentmindedly taps his pen while thinking.]

As for you -- is there any particular things or symbols you associate with yourself, or would like to be?

[lonelysmiles]

Patterns, my good fellow, not textures. Like something more floral or maybe more geometric to give two examples.

And frankly my name is more or less synonymous with the radio back where I come from. However, I also enjoy music, largely jazz. Fun to sing and play!

[a_sweet_little_peach]

Oh, I see -- Patterns, hum... I like hearts, floral patterns work... oh! I don't know if it could work for a pattern of the type you're imagining, but maybe something with this:

[Rather than drawing it out poorly, Ralsei imprints the delta rune onto the page beneath.]

Radio, huh? Got it. I think I've got an idea for you. Apropos of something, you mind giving me the dimensions of your microphone? The, um, cane, too!

Why does the rune look like something from Zelda?

[lonelysmiles]

Well, now you have me curious!

[Still he writes down the typical size of the microphone since he can change that at will.]

[a_sweet_little_peach]

You'll just have to wait and see!!
