[Wreck-It Ralph gets up to another daily routine he's settled into, living on the first floor of Community House 7. He makes sure the kid's awake and okay, then he heads over to the community kitchen to down an entire gallon of milk. And eventually, he manages to split off from Vanellope long enough to find somewhere quiet to address the journals.

He'd been avoiding using the journals too much since he arrived. After all, anyone could recognize him as the bad guy or have sore feelings from the wreckage he caused when he first arrived here in Luceti. But he'd have to face them sooner or later, with that whole Christmas thing coming up. First, there was that Secret Santa thing to worry about. He was assigned someone named "Harry Dresden". And he had no idea who that was. And secondly? There was something he needed to do for the kid for Christmas, too. He'd need all the help he could with that one.

But first? He'd have to face the music. And that meant showing his face on the journals.]

[Video]

Uh, hey... everybody. All you... Luceti guys. A lot of you may recognize me from that, uh, wrecking I did a few weeks back. Or you might recognize me from that video game, Fix-It Felix Junior. [A small frown; he hasn't met anyone familiar with the game yet here.] Either way, I wanna apologize for, y'know... getting off on the wrong foot with you all. I was in kind of a dark place, and really confused... but long story short, I'm feeling a lot better now! Things are going really good. You don't have to worry about me wrecking things and being "the bad guy" anymore. [He says that complete with finger quotes.] Unless you need one, in which case I guess I could try fitting it into my schedule? My name's Ralph by the way. Wreck-It Ralph. [A pause. He tries waving with one of his giant hands, but his brow furrows with confusion.] Do any of you know my game?

[Filtered from Vanellope van Schweetz and Harry Dresden]

I got two unrelated questions for you guys. Now, this doesn't have anything to do with Christmas or anything. But... first of all, is there anyone here who's an expect at this Battle Dome stuff? I need someone who can help me put together a really, super specific simulation for - uh, for a thing. If you know a lot about go-karts, that's a plus.

Oh! And my second question. Who the heck's Harry Dresden?

[godbent]

Nope, not a thing -- well, it is if you've made certain investments, but those are hard to come by in the first place.

[Voice]

[gonnawreckit]

Certain investments? What's that supposed to mean?

[Voice]

[godbent]

It means if you have items like the Reverse Dolls my subordinate can manufacture.

[Voice]

[gonnawreckit]

Reverse Dolls. [He reiterates plainly.] I'm creeped out already. Though the name does sound slightly familiar...

[Voice]

[godbent]

It's a voodoo doll that keeps you alive if you die.

[Voice]

[gonnawreckit]

Still kinda creepy! And sounds like the kinda thing that'd be a video game item. But eh, not like I'd be going for the death blows anyway.

[Voice]

[godbent]

Of course not. I'd never hire or give out for that sort of purpose, they're just invaluable during the drafts.

[Voice]

[gonnawreckit]

Oh right. Those war things. I don't think I'm cut out for that kind of thing, after what happened the one time I was in a game like that.

[Voice]

[godbent]

And I'm a civilian from Japan. A lot of people aren't suited for it, even the strong people.

[Voice]

[gonnawreckit]

Oh. So... you don't have any special moves or anything?

[Voice]

[godbent]

Not like a video game character, anyway.

[Voice]

[gonnawreckit]

Like a... "normal person", then?

[Voice]

[godbent]

[...


God she hates the word normal] Yeah, I guess.

[Voice]

[gonnawreckit]

Hey, nothing wrong with that! Lots of games are fun challenges on normal mode! [But then more sheepishly as he remembers how they arrievd at that topic.] But... yeah, I see how that could be even worse for that, uh, draft thing.

[Voice]

[godbent]

So what, are you hard mode? Expert? Insane?

[Voice]

[gonnawreckit]

More like "classic" mode. The "keep playing 'til you drop" mode.

[Voice]

[godbent]

So basically, you're retro.

[Voice]

[gonnawreckit]

That means old, right? Then, yeah, that'd fit about right.

[Voice]

[godbent]

Retro basically means "old but still popular because people are nostalgic or something"
