Trilogy Christmas Skit ft. the Writing Peeps: Late Midnight Hot Chocolate

Note: This skit is a trilogy. Which means it composes of 3 parts. This is Part 2. There'll be mentioning of "Amihan", even though it's brief. Amihan is the Northeast Monsoon, fun fact. Keep in mind that this was written after I've been dealing with the aftermath of Typhoon Odette/Rai. It took an alarming long time to recover from lack of motivation. Now, I've gained it back. I'll be publishing the last part of the trilogy on the month of December, just to make things consistent with this year's Christmas season. So, let's all have a relaxing reading about the upcoming days with the Writing Peeps' Christmas.

It's already a snowy beginning on December 1, and the Writing Peeps are all gathered at the living room of the 秘密 Sky House. They all seemed to be deep in thinking as of this moment. Lavender raises her voice to call out their attention.

Lavender: Alright! Now, that the tree has been settled, what would be our plans for upcoming Christmas Eve and Day?
Lilac: Lavender... We already said long time ago that we'll be preparing gifts, food, and stuffs after December 11.
Lavender: But you guys still haven't established if we'll have a Christmas party or not.
Zien: We are, dum dum. It's pretty obvious that we'll be having a traditional dinner on Christmas Eve and the opening of presents on the day itself.
Sora: Indeed! However, we still don't have everything quite settled.
Lavender: Exactly! This is why we're enhancing, right?
Sora: Yeah, because I advised that we'll finish the rough sketches of our plans today.
Sakura: True. So, what will we be doing on Christmas Eve and Day?
Lilac: Just as Zien said, a traditional dinner on Christmas Eve and the opening of presents on Christmas Day. We'll be following that pattern, with a twist.
Tsumi: And what about my food habit and stuffs?
Lilac: It'll be on Christmas Day, Tsumi. Sakura's Christmas caroling will be on Christmas Eve alongside with playing some Christmas Classics.
Sora: Ooh... Nice catch there, Lilac.
Lavender: I see... So, we'll be having a dinner on Christmas Eve... We'll do it here, right?
Sakura: Yes. Also, I heard from Skylar that she'll tag along... Including Jeom.
Sora: JEOM?!?!
Tsumi: Well, it turns out, me and Jeom tagged along before at the mall for casual reasons. We both are buying our gifts to chosen people. Guess what, he'll tag along on Christmas Eve and on Christmas Day.
Sora: I see... Well...
Lavender: Anywho, that's all settled then. We'll be starting to decorate the House on the 11th and survive... "The Eternal Snow" ...
Lilac: Oh yeah! I'll be telling you guys all about that tale on Christmas Day.
Sakura: The day where we'll have a fun time playing around the snow with everyone!
Zien: Heh. Can't wait to play challenges like that to beat you guys up.
Tsumi: You guys need to chill, but I'm totally down for it!
Lavender: Yeah, yeah. I got you. Now, we'll start doing the decorations on the 11th of December. Our plan will be further emphasized soon enough.
Sakura: There's a big schedule of side missions we need to do. Side Missions always double up on December because of the holiday spirit. Still, don't forget about the events to come!
Everyone: Roger that!
Sora: ...

Some days has passed after that day... It's a cold midnight on December 11. Sora was sitting near the big window at the living room, looking at the snow falling from the sky... Wondering about lots of things.

Sora: (Lilac told us that there's a real story as to why there's elemental snow here at Central Moon City... I also wonder why... There was no snow back at Northern Skies Village, and I would say the same to the other sides of Vorstellan Island. Still, what a weird phenomenon.)

As Sora thinks about the snow, a weird sound follows. That sound... Is Sora's grumbled stomach. She's now hungry at this hour. Because of that, Sora is now frustrated by it.
