Merry Christmas!! (belated)

The girls had a lovely one as you can see~

Credits and full size pictures under the cut!

An old piece that... I don't think I ever uploaded to here?

The group of girls arrive at the building the party is taking place in. They share a look between eachother, acknowledging the importance of this investigation. Rose speaks up, turning her head to look at her sister.

"Ok. We will separate for now and each do our own investigations. We'll meet up back here later and share the information we've gathered. Shanna, you're with me."

"As the older twin, I should be saying that."

"Give it a rest, will you?"

As soon as they speak and separate, a woman dressed in cosplay emerges, flashing the twins a peace sign. "Rose! Is that you? You brought your twin sister? You both look amazing!! I'm so glad you could make it!"

"Nanami-san, it's good to see you. I'm happy to of made it. Your Miku cosplay looks wonderful." "Really? Thank you so much!"

"Moreover, there's actually something that's kind of bothering me that I'd like to bring up with you." "Yes?" "I appreciate the invitation, and the extra invites you allowed me to have. But is now really the time for a party? There's been disappearances happening in this neighborhood recently. Surely you're aware?"

Keeping a hand on her hip, the Miku cosplayer responds, "Of course I'm aware... I actually threw this party because everyone's nerves are on high alert, and I was hoping this could help cheer everyone up and help them to stop worrying for awhile. Also... strength in numbers, yes? It's safer to be in groups like this."

The older twin dressed in red chimes in. "That makes sense to me." She holds her hands up, tilting her head. "I'm sorry to bother you with more questions but... have you by chance heard anymore rumors?"

"Heard anymore?" The other woman raises a finger to her bottom lip in thought...then she too, tilts her head, eyebrows upturning in worry. "Wait, why? Are you actually trying to investigate this? That's dangerous! You should leave it to the cops!"

"Oh. No, not at all." Shanna lies. "We just merely want to make sure nothing else has happened as of late. I mean... sure we look pretty composed but in all honesty, we're worried too. The cops haven't found out much themselves yet, and are just ruling things a missing persons case..."

Nanami stares for a moment before speaking up once more. "I haven't really heard anything new that you two wouldn't already know, but I have heard that people have seen a mysterious, winged creature at night recently. Like... it's humanoid shaped but it has wings? It's just like... wandering around and then it takes off flying into the night sky. It's just another silly Halloween rumor though, we get those every year."

Rose blinks. It sounds like nonsense but perhaps she should remember this for later, just in case. "Thank you, Nanami-san. Sorry for the questions, we didn't mean to make you uneasy."

"Oh, it's ok. You two have fun, ok? Don't separate! Safety in numbers!"

"Right."

Kazuno gazes among the crowd, eyes narrowing, her sister giving her a confused stare. "I can't see the end of the horizon."

"HATSUNE MIKU!?"

Kazeko and Odoken are my OTP.

"Ok, babe? There's someone at the door, just- Stay there, we'll talk about it." The dispicable man opened the door, ignoring his not-for-long girlfriend's anger. "Hello, can I help y-"

"I just- UGH!! I can't believe this! All this time I thought you were sweet, but I was THE OTHER WOMAN!? That poor girl, I... I can't... HOW could you do that to her?!" The young woman slung her bag over her shoulder, whipping around angrily. "She's not human but she still loved you, I could tell! That look on her face... oh... ... MMHHH!! I don't care what you have to say, I'm leaving you right now!!" Stomping into the entryway, she's met with only silence. "... Ne, are you listening at all?!!"

Heading to the front door slowly, she looks outside, eyes blowing wide with surprise and confusion. "E..."

"EH!?"

The sounds of loud, hard kicks and shouts of five pissed off women fill the air.

CHEATING BASTARD: KICKED INTO SUBMISSION

-R E T I R E D-

"If it's a vampire, we've got this covered. But if it's not... we're way ahead of you, heh! Just keep an eye over your shoulder and enjoy the party, kid~"

"... and the last time I saw him before he went missing, he was talking crazy about this beautiful girl he HAD to ask out, like, he didn't sound normal crazy about it, I mean CRAZY crazy!" The young woman in the demon costume exclaimed, gesturing. "It seriously freaked me out!"

The older woman nodded, listening carefully. "Really...? That sounds worrying..." She trails off, threading her fingers together and fiddling with her thumbs.

"Right?? He acted like he was actually gonna die if he didn't meet up with this girl... I called his sister after school and, poof! No more Junpei! He's been gone ever since!"

"I see..." Kazeko replied thoughtfully, looking down in thought. So there was a mysterious female figure involved... "Thank you, sweetie, that's good to know. I hope your friend comes back soon."

"H-hey, you're not actually looking into this mess, are you-?? That's- ... ...... 'sweetie'? ... wait, how old are you-?" The girl squinted at her, leaning in. "26? ... 30-?"

"A-ahaha, well, you see-"

"KAZ, OVER HERE!"

"Ah-!" A sudden shout from down the hallway called her attention, saving her from the sudden awkward questioning. "I-I'm sorry, I have to go~" She waved, leaving the confused college student and heading in the direction of her older sister's voice.

"Did you find something, Kazu?" She came to a stop in front of Kazuno, who was crouching on the carpet.

"Right. Check this out... lots of scuff marks in the carpet, right next to the railing. Looks like someone's been coming and going on this spot a lot."

"You think someone's been using the balcony to sneak in?" she asked, tilting her head."

"Probably? Maybe? Not sure, really..." Kazuno stood up, and pointed at the railing. "But that's not the only thing... this one's a little freakier..."

"What... is that?" Kazeko's eyes widen a little.

"Looks like some kind of claw mark!" the elder sister exclaimed.

"Stand, supernatural thingum, wild tiger on the loose... I don't know, but... whatever's going on here isn't just a normal missing persons case."

Rose, Shanna, Kikumi, Kazeko, and Kazuno all get together to investigate this mystery at the college party. Perhaps they can enjoy themselves a little bit too, but they must not forget the real reason that they're here.

Event START! Questions and investigation suggestions for Kazeko and Kazuno send asks to @kazekothestrange for Kikumi, send them to @caffeinated-chaos-bean for Shanna and Rose, send to me!

"You know...I'm quite surprised. I asked all of you to come with me to this party for the sake of helping me investigate, and taking down whatever threat is going on, and you all come dressed head to toe in costumes."

"Well… you're one to talk. You went all out with hair dye, make up, heck, even full body make up and pressed on nails-"

"Honestly, I'm surprised you didn't get slit pupil'd contacts."

"I suppose you've got a point there, but darling, I make this look good."
