[color=crimson]"Guess we got here early, huh?"[/color]

 Christmas time was something [url=https://cdn.donmai.us/original/e0/3c/__houjuu_nue_touhou_drawn_by_hisona_suaritesumi__e03c841d2d5ef1c3469f0b78f4cfd812.jpg]Maura[/url] was fond of, the one day where families get together near the end of a year to feast and give gifts. She always found the decorations, the stories and such charming, but never got to celebrate it in the past. Her work came first. So would it be fair to call this work? Well, however it goes, it should prove interesting. 

 Such as Maura bringing Justine with her. She noticed the smaller girl's hesitance when she hid behind her, and patted her back with a reassuring smile. [color=crimson]"Don't worry, I'll stick by you if you're feeling nervous."[/color] she told her. Soon enough, trouble decided to brew a little earlier than expected, in the form of Sakura and his patron noticing their arrival. Or more specifically, Justine's.

 [i][color=crimson]"Shouldn't you be in dress code?"[/color][/i] Maura looked at Sakura with a raised eyebrow, steping up to block the two in case they tried anything. [color=crimson]"Look, it's a long story, but she's under my supervision now and-"[/color] before she could explain, an unexpected guest had made himself known. The All-Father himself, and a group of valkyries. [color=crimson]"Well things just got interesting."[/color] Maura noted. Atleast it got the heat off their backs. She'd have to thank him later. 

 [color=crimson]"The others should arrive soon. Come on, let's look around."[/color] She said, looking back at Justine.

She wanted to wait for Oros at first, but after awhile, it seemed best to go and hope she makes it in time. [color=gold]"Man, my luck with dates kinda sucks."[/color] She grimaced. Not only from that line of thought, but from the outfit she got stuck with. Atleast it was different from all the santa claus outfits, but she wasn't one for ballgowns. [color=gold]"If they start cracking jokes, I'm burying myself face first into the snow."[/color] She grumbled, standing by the actual christmas tree.

 [color=lightsteelblue]"This is stupid."[/color]
 
 [color=violet]"You need a break, Valerie."[/color]

 [color=lightsteelblue]"I need to be hacking into databases and finding whereabouts, not whatever this-"[/color] [url=https://static.zerochan.net/Snow.White.%28SINoALICE%29.full.2468137.jpg]Valerie[/url] would motion to the dress she wore. [color=lightsteelblue]"-is."[/color]

[color=violet]"Come on, I know you're not sure about this, but we'll be fine. Dan doesn't allow fighting, and we could get more people on our side."[/color] She'd explain.

 [color=lightsteelblue]"Or something could happen to screw all this up. Ow."[/color] The android would flinch when the other girl smacked her on the head.

 [color=violet]"Let's just get some food first..."[/color]

 Lasty, the Walpurgis Night trio would walk through the portal in unison. [color=9966CC]"Here we are, girls~!"[/color] [url=https://cdn.donmai.us/original/54/18/__yakumo_yukari_touhou_drawn_by_kyoukyan__54188736158e1309c242876c2faa3e3d.jpg]Maribel[/url] stretched her arms out. [color=9966CC]"My, isn't this place wonderful? Not everyday we get invited to a gathering that isn't our own~"[/color] She'd giggle, moving over to one of the seats. [url=https://files.yande.re/sample/399443cef74db8414d9df252fc73a2d3/yande.re%20425689%20sample%20christmas%20cleavage%20hijiri_byakuren%20pantsu%20thighhighs%20tooya_%28the-moon%29%20touhou.jpg]Rowena[/url] sat down next to her, and [url=https://static.zerochan.net/Shiki.Eiki.full.1972341.jpg]Lauren[/url] leaned over from behind the couch.

 [color=Mediumseagreen]"Eh...the host is a dolphin?"[/color] Lauren would look over to Dan with a raised brow.

 [color=9966CC]"Better a dolphin than a shark, they're much more trustworthy."[/color] The nightmare witch joked, unaware that Eliza had noticed the three.

 [i][color=gold]"Uh, Maura? Someone invited your sisters. They're there. Right now."[/color][/i]

 [i][color=crimson]"....FUCK."[/color][/i]
