Here's hoping for a Christmas Miracle

Who: Ramza, Jack, Ashe, Chrom, Zelda, OU Yuna, MarKus, any other volunteers
What: Ramza is proposing a Christmas time peace with the Empire to deliver presents and warning Kurma that his city is going to be a crystal in a month or so.
Where: The Imperial Capital
When: December 24th (crazy forward dated)
Warnings: There will probably be consequences for our stupidity. This may include, but is not limited to, death, torture, capture, immolation, and/or extreme exasperation on the parts of all NPCs involved.

Ramza was not sure whether it was the ‘Santa’ job affecting him, or if it was his own ideals, but either way, as Christmas approached, he knew what he needed to do. The Heroes of Light had reached out and given gifts to the kids of every city but one. The Imperial children, the ones who were in imminent danger of crystallization in the upcoming months, had not been visited by Santa and his helpers. Even if Cid was convinced the Empire was full of monsters, Ramza could not believe that of the children. There were lives worth saving there, and he would not write them off.

If there was ever a time to reach out to the Empire, it was now. Ramza had a bag full of presents, and he was certain that if he could just explain his reasoning, he would be allowed in to distribute them. And once inside, perhaps he could find Kurma and warn him of what they’d learned from the Sage on the Continent of Ruin.

They had failed to save the people of Aqures Tosf, and Ramza was determined to never let a tragedy of that magnitude happen again, not even if it killed him.

Chrom didn't have an answer to that. He sat back in his chair, his gaze fixed on the emperor's face. He could scarcely believe what he was hearing. He truly intended to let his people die? It was unthinkable. Emmeryn would never have let something like this happen to Ylisse. A good ruler would never abandon her people to such a horrible fate.

And that's when it suddenly struck him. His eyes widened slightly as his head jerked up, and his gut tightened.

"...You intend to be claimed by the Calamity along with them, don't you."

He waited for the emperor's answer before letting his emotions boil over. Anger. Fear. The thought that the only one who could reset things if all else failed letting himself be destroyed, because he'd given up hope... Damn it, he hoped he was wrong about this.

"We may not be the first... but somehow, if all of this continues, I don't believe we will be the last, either." His words had a way of chilling her to the bone for some reason. Yes, she had seen the bodies of the heroes through the first High Summoner's eyes -- those images never too far from memory. She reflected upon that time now more than ever, her head bowing as she listened to Chrom's words, hoping that he was wrong.

"Shouldn't they... at least have the chance to decide their own fate, then?" her reply came in a small voice, "I -- don't believe that you truly wish to see them fall."

Maybe she was wrong. Maybe he was a complete and total monster, but... maybe he wasn't, either.
