ITS SQUIDMAS TIME
MERRY SQUIDMAS
CHRISTMAS
WHATEVER

[At this point you could call it anything and Thida wouldn't care - of course she knows this time of year, and knows Santa really does come to all good Pokemon Trainers in this world. That's how she has her father's old guitar, after all. So it's time to get goshdang festive all up in this binch.]

POKEGEAR HAS A COOL APP ON IT
I MADE SOMETHIN
EVERYBODY GO MAKE SOMETHIN ITS FUN

[Indeed, Thida has made something on the popular Shine-ee app, and...honestly, if Maika wasn't an intimidating and scary kind of Pokemon, it'd be really cute. Must be a squid thing.]



GOTTA GET IN THE SPIRIT YOU GUYS
YEEEEEEAH
SQUIDMAS IS HERE

How did you make that? It's moving.

Also is squidmas a lot like christmas?

[Text]

[agent3]

the app makes it move and blink and stuff
the pictures are gif kinds that means they can move
dunno why tho

squidmas is just like christmas
only difference is squids instead of humans

[And also it's likely to be incredibly secular and more based on Japanese Christmas than anything else.]

That's really neat.

We didn't really have much of a christmas where I'm from. I didn't know there was someone who was supposed to give gifts that wasn't your parents.

[Newt meanwhile grew up on a space colony in the future. What are normal holidays.]

Yeah, I bet kids on earth got more stuff then us on the colony. It cost too much to ship things out because we were so far away.

Oh wow, there's an actual person who gives gifts here? I guess it can't be parents if they're not here. I wonder if it's a pokemon.
