Shortly after being buried in the snow his Nasod Arm can be seen emerging from the pile of snow.
Almost immediately Raven's arm was engulfed in flames as Raven then slammed his fist into the ground. Creating a large ring of fire around him as he did so. The ring of fire quickly melted the snow around him, and even some more of the snow in the area... unfortunately though the tree was quickly burned to a crisp.
"Why did I have to get my clothes wet this morning... it's f-freezing! Even with the heat my arm can generate this snow is still cold!!!" He yelled as he stood back up.
Raven looked at his surroundings, but saw no one there. "Hmm..." He thought for a moment of what to do... That's when he knelt down and began to make a snowball of his own. "Now judging by where the snow had impacted that tree... the direction whoever threw it from must be... Over there!" He said as he tossed the snowball with all of his strength his Nasod Arm could handle in Lily's direction. The snowball flew through the forest, and impacted a tree near Lily. The impact echoed throughout the forest, much like the one Lily had thrown did.
"Okay you can come out now... and if you don't I will start throwing fireballs."

Reaching the possible place of the Yakumo home, the fox noticed a bus being lunged around "Told you we would find him training with cars and buses" she said as they walked
"Even in vacation times he keeps training everyday I guess, but here that is a pretty normal sighting with the people of these lands" Nera spoke loking at the free terrain for the spartan to train
Renamon was already seeing the spartan in a simple training outfit while dealing with the school bus, so she decided to greet him "Hey there John, how have you been?" she said outloud

Isaac's House
Lujuria came from the kitchen suddenly.
"Hey there. I was hoping you had a hunger drive. I got ya some fresh meat."
She had a plate of steak in her hand and a drink in another.
"I'm telling ya, even though you technically own me, it might be awkward to have people know you live with someone like me, and it's not because I'm a demon." She said with a chuckle. "But either way, I'm literally bound to you, so..." She placed the plate on the table. "Might as well get used to having a roommate."
She went back to go get her own plate.
"So, what'd you achieve today?"
Human Village
Shikieiki was sitting on the side lines of a human field, watching the children play around in the snow. She smiled.
"*sigh*... how peaceful it is this time around."
"Indeed," A woman said, walking up to Shikieiki. She sat down beside her. "Such a beautiful time of the year."
"You know, I've been to many places, but I've never been around here this time around. There are never that many reports this time around."
"That's because it's too majestic to stain it in blood. No matter how cruel one can be, no one would want to ruin it."
"I see I've much to learn about humans."
"Oh, that's right. You're the yama, aren't you? Well, all I've got to say is that you'll love it here."
"I can tell." Shikieiki said, watching the snow fall. "... I've already gotten attached to the village and it's inhabitants."

"Hey there John, how have you been?", Renamon asked John.
Upon hearing Renamon's voice, John turned around to see Renamon and Nera standing there, watching him train. Unfortunately for John, he turned to face them too quickly, and the bus's inertia continued to turn the bus. John was strong, but even he wasn't immune to the laws of physics. Due to the inertia of the bus, along with the low traction from the crushed snow, John lost his balance and fell backward with the bus, landing on his back. The large, yellow school bus slammed into the ground, but thanks to John's foresight, none of the windows broke. Why? It was because he had removed all of the bus's windows, only leaving the frames.
(Sh*t...), John thought as the school bus's impact echoed through the air.
"Hey, Renamon, Nera.", John calmly said as waved at them while on his back.

The snowball hit the tree, but it was not where Lily was at. While Raven was busy melting the snow, she had already arrived at a nearby tree and hid again. Her footprints led to her old hiding spot, thanks to her quick thinking, so Raven would believe that she was still there.
"Okay you can come out now... and if you don't I will start throwing fireballs.", Raven called out.
This threat of violence only brought a smile to her face as she considered it more of a challenge now. Following the same tactic as before, Lily made another snowball, threw it at a tree next to Raven, and walked backwards to another hiding spot that was closer to Raven. All she had to do was keep repeating this process until she was close enough to sneak up on him and surprise him.

Isaac was a little surprised to see Lujuria here, but then again, she always appeared when he least expected it. Not that he minded, of course. In fact, Lujuria was a demon that Isaac had befriended back during "The Devourer Incident". They used to be former enemies, but now they were close friends.
"I wouldn't say that I technically own you, I just have something that can summon you. Thank you very much.", Isaac thanked Lujuria for the meal in a light-hearted tone, then began to tell her about what he had accomplished today.
"Well, I finished Koishi's wristband device, created a new Rigsuit Module, and survived the onslaught of last-minute Christmas shoppers.", Isaac said to Lujuria in a joking tone.

Soundless Prison - The Castle That Never Was
Saïx was going around checking up on the conditions of the prisoners. Most of them were kept in a container that would scan every move they made, not for security, but as a means of gathering data of the characters. This was they could better reproduce and simulate the characters in computers. Normally checking up on the prisoners would be the dusks job, but today Saïx had something special in mind. There was a character in here that had a particular connection with electricity. What they wanted to know was how this would affect their machine. Today they would stop the normal scans and put him in a special container instead. This was they could track each individual electron and use this data as a way to make their machines even more powerful. On his way he found a few characters that was near death or already dead. He turned to one of his berserker nobodies that followed him around and ordered it to take care of it. No matter what they couldn't let anyone die. The ones that did die had most likely tried to escape.
Eventually he reached Cole's cell. "Hello Prisoner 1256 also known as Cole. Are you healthy? Having a good time? I hope so as we have grown quite interested in you. You see, you interact with electrons in a special way. When the characters were first formed, the first thing to take form and stabilize was the electrons. They formed the basis of the body. Now the interesting thing is that you control electrons. Does that mean that you could literally shape yourself however you wanted in the first few hours of you life here. And if we attained this power and applied it to our future creations, will they be able to shape themselves? Of course we need a little bit of data first from you so if you would kindly walk into the Corridor of Darkness in the end of your cell." With that Saïx formed a Corridor of Darkness in the end of the cell leading into what appeared to be a glass tube inside of a lab.

Ansem the Wise was enjoying his time inside his secret underground lab. Things were quite nice. He definitively knew that the organization was planning something, but at this moment there was nothing left to do, but wait. Of course he still had the security systems set up just in case. He could never be too careful. Suddenly he got a notification about that all the snow from one of the trees in the area had disappeared. "I was beginning to enjoy myself. I hope this isn't any trouble." He got out of his chair and used a Corridor of Darkness to get to about the tree without the snow. When he walked out on the other side he saw the young man that had been training her for some time. Luckily it was false alarm. "I am completely find with that you train on tarining dolls in the forest, but could you please stay away from these trees. I want this to look as much as possible like a place where no one lives. Other than that I hope you're having fun and that the training is paying off."

"You know, you need a day to relax, we are at christmas Eve, try using these two days to enjoy some peace" Renamon said helping the spartan to get up
"Anyways, how have things been here in this four months? Gensokyo looks rather perfect from what I see"

"Well it's not like I train the entire day. Just in the morning.", John said to Renamon as he brushed the snow and ice off of himself.
John looked at the bus still lying on the ground, but decided not to bother with it. Right now, he was happy to just talk to his friends.
"Yea, things have gone better than expected. We managed to repair all of the buildings destroyed during the war, and restore everyone to perfect physical condition.", John said to Renamon.

"I noticed that things are now back in track, been wondering if the resurrected ones didn´t have any traumas from the land of the death" Nera said looking at the Yakumo house
"I had some nightmares at first, being on the limbo and such, I know some had worse fates while being in that border, so Im asking if Yukari and the others had anything related to nightmares of it" the jackal asked to the spartan

John slightly furrowed his brow as he went into thought, trying to remember if Yukari had said anything about nightmares. Yukari wasn't really one to try and worry John, so she might have had them, but never told him.
"I'm not entirely sure about the nightmares. If Yukari had had any, she didn't tell me.", John said to Nera.
"... Why would they get nightmares from dying, then coming back to life?", John finally asked Renamon and Nera in a curious tone.

The Inventory
The Inventory, usually a place with a fun atmosphere had been far quieter lately. Poker games had far less conversation, the gambling machines seemed quiet, and even the Gray Market seemed noticeably quieter
For Koishi, for the past week, she had been sad. In fact, the entire Inventory had been in a state of mourning. Sir Reginald Von Winslow had died. It was a quick and painless death, GlaDOS said, and in this case, people actually believed her without a doubt for once. She hadn't been able to pin down a cause of death, though she personally suspected it had something to do with the poker game in Purgatory. It didn't matter though. Winslow's funeral was large, his body being buried in the place the Inventory had started, a large poker hall, where a golden statue of him stood in the corner, and under it, his remains. His will was long and he gave things to many people. GlaDOS got her own testing area back, Serious Sam a sparkly new minigun. But Koishi got the biggest and most important thing of all, something people gasped and turned to her when they heard it. She herself had gotten ownership of the Inventory and the income that came from it. She had gone from being relatively average to a billionaire in a single sentence. Didn't matter to her though, it didn't change her glum mood.
Koishi donned her hat and stepped out of her room, looking to see if anyone was coming. Luckily it was early in the morning for most here, as time flowed differently in The Inventory. She walked through the halls, glancing through open doors to see the various games being played, until she got to a large, tall office, walls a dark red color, as artificial light flowed thorugh a window to simulate the sun, though in the Inventory's realm, there was none. She sat down in a desk and flicked on the TV, inserting a DVD into it. It was her early morning routine. She would watch her show as someone brought breakfast to her, then she hosted poker games for a while, then she would participate in somme Poker gamesof her own after getting lunch. It was nice, and luckily, GLaDOS handled the money side of things. She wondered how Isaac was doing. She hadn't really seen him ever since they watched that movie and departed ways. He was probably still working on that device for her, knowing him. Koishi smiled at that prospect.
After a while, GLaDOS brought her some breakfast (which she scarfed down) and then headed down to the Poker hall.

Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.
You just discard their guts and keep on driving.
