EVENT: Winter Cheer Part 2!

[rekindlemods]

Who: Everyone! Where: District 1 and 2, apartments and arrival center When: December 25th Summary: A dimensional pull happens for a brief, brief amount of time...And quite a few things come through! Warnings: Many, many presents. Sometime in the morning, a message flashes up on the terminal screens; 'Your items have been gathered in the Welcome Square and the Welcome Center. Please pick them up as soon as possible.' That's all it says, and it stick around on the screens for most of the day. As for the square proper? During the night, it seems that someone has made mischief and merry with the holiday lights, and strung them around the fountain. The end result is a twinkling structure, which forms the center in a pile of gifts that have been stacked up and around. There are tags on the packages, with the recipients name printed clearly across them. A few of the more fragile (or living) gifts have been moved inside, and a handful of them can also be found on the roof of the building. And for a few people? They might not find much when it comes to their gifts, until they return to their apartments and find something waiting for them. Either way, the gifts have arrived, in order to spread some cheer. Or complete confusion. ((OOC: Missed the initial post? This event will still have the gift list open all through the 30th of December!))

SMASHES IN

[uncouthhatcher]

[Now, Gold had been ecstatic about his DJ Mary CD - finally, some quality music! - and about Sudobo being around...

... But he's even happier to see the return of that cute outfit of Crys's. Heheheh.]

Yo, Crys! You just got one too, huh? [Pokémon. Gold waves the CD in his hand with a grin.] But instead of clothes, I got this sweet gift. Say, isn't that the thing you were wearin' with Ar--

SMASHES YOU

[capturespecialist]

[NO. DON'T EVEN THINK A COMMENT, GOLD. DON'T SAY A WORD. DON'T

EVEN

BREATHE.]

SCREAMS

[uncouthhatcher]

[OW

GODDAMMIT CRYS JUST LET HIM TALK. AND NOT SMASH HIS CD. WHICH HE IS SO CAREFULLY PROTECTING.

Sudobo will greet Parasee though hello! It's nice to see you here! The lights are pretty, aren't they?]

It was just a question!

SHAKES FIST AT

[capturespecialist]

[THE PEANUT GALLERY CAN BE QUIET FOR A DAY. OR TWO. OR SEVEN. OR, HECK, A FEW YEARS.

And oh!! Parasee is very pleased to see Sudobo too. They are really pretty, it's so nice... Wonder how much longer they'll be up?]

Yes, it is, and it's going to the bottom of my bag where it belongs. It's too cold to wear anyway.

[uncouthhatcher]

[NO CRYS HE WANTS TO TELL YOU YOU LOOK CUTE WITH IT....

Maybe they'll keep them up forever... Though Gold usually takes down the ones around the house when the snow starts melting, so maybe it'll be the same here.]

Not like you're gonna wear it when it gets warmer anyway. Which is a shame, cause if you've got clothes you oughta wear 'em.

[capturespecialist]

[IT'S HER MOM'S IDEA OF FUN AND CUTE, WHICH MEANS IT'S WEIRD AND WEIRD

Oh... Probably.]

They're not the kind of clothes I'd want to wear. [Can they, like

not

talk about this

can they stop talking about this]

[uncouthhatcher]

[CUTE AND WEIRD GO TOGETHER....

We'll make the best of it! Gold wants to put some lights on me, so will you help me find some?]

Why not? I mean, they're pretty--

[capturespecialist]

[NO THEY DO NOT.

Oh, yes! There's some on that roof across yonder plaza, she will go out and get them.]

Don't say a word! I know they're pretty weird and pretty not-me and they're Mama's idea of a good time and they don't fit and the hat looks like a mushroom and we're not going to discuss this right now!

[uncouthhatcher]

[YES THEY DO why do you always gotta kick him huh he has to keep checkin that there's no blood dude.

Oh, thank you Parasee! He'll wait right here for her.]

That's not what I was gonna say, but you're right, it does look like a mushroom. You wanna help me find something to play DJ Mary's CD on instead of talkin' about this painful for me topic?

[Yes he's peeved. Seriously, girl, you're gonna break his face.]

[capturespecialist]

[It's, like, the quickest way to shut him up okay. Maybe she should just start slapping her hand over his mouth instead, but ewww he might lick her fingers. Ewww.

Yeah!! Scuttle scuttle scuttle...]

... Sorry. [She really is.] I just know how ridiculous it looks, I really don't need you or Silver pointing it out. I'm sure one of the shops here has a stereo or something. I'll buy you it.

[To make up for kicking him. Ahhhh god it's hopeless. She's hopeless.]

[uncouthhatcher]

[He was just gonna say she... Augh, whatever, she'd probably hurt him worse if she actually listened anyway.]

Seriously? You will? That's exactly what my place is missin', Crys! Now all I gotta do is find a billiard's table to stick in there and it'll be just like home.

[Which he kind of misses from time to time.]

[capturespecialist]

We can look for that too, I guess. [While they're shopping. Darn, if she thought he'd be missing it so much she would've just bought him that instead of...

Oh, right. She should give him his present. After they've gone shopping.



After they find Parasee.]

[uncouthhatcher]

[After they find Parasee.]

Guess we better look for your mushroom gal first. Didja see where she went, Sudobo?

[Yes!!! she's getting me lights from up there. See?

... Oh. Oh okay. That's fine right Crys?]

[capturespecialist]

[whAT]

-- Parasee! [shhh crys i'm getting lights shhh almost done THERE.

scuttle scuttle. here sudobo!! lots of pretty lights. how do we make them light up.]

You've only been here a few minutes and you're already causing trouble.

[uncouthhatcher]

[Don't worry Gold's got this. Let's play dress up with the lights. Did you express concerns, Crys? No? Cool. Pibu'll charge aaaand

LIGHT 'EM UP UP UP LIGHT 'EM UP UP UP]

Look at you! A walkin' talkin' Christmas tree! Good idea, Parasee.

[capturespecialist]

[Well.......

At least he's not a real tree.]

Just in time. Too bad we can't put presents under him. [ahaha presents

Presents....]

[uncouthhatcher]

Yeah, too bad.

[... Presents...]

So. You get me anything?

[capturespecialist]

Why wouldn't I? [Come onn, who do you think she is. If she sounds a little miffed, it's... it's because she doesn't think Gold got her anything. They've been friends for years now, the least he could do is, like, give her something???] They're in my unit, along with Silver's. Do you want to stop there first, or are we going to get a stereo for you before that?

[uncouthhatcher]

[Oh, Crys'll find hers delivered to her place when they get back, probably. She's probably miffed that he doesn't seem to have gotten her anything.]

Stereo first. That way we ain't makin' two trips. Lead on, Lady Crys.

[capturespecialist]

[Do you see this, Gold? She is totally unbothered by your mocking use of Cucuc's and Diarmuid's title system. She's totally

frickin

unbothered.

So unbothered right now.]

All right. [...but she isn't going to address him the same way, because she's not a jerk. And off they can go! Uh, which district would have it...

Right, third one. She spends more time in the shopping district here than she ever did at home. Mama would be proud.]

[uncouthhatcher]

[Hahahaha.]

You're pretty familiar with where you're goin', huh? You sure you don't got any girl friends I can be friendly with?

[capturespecialist]

I'm sure. I've only really talked to guys since I got here. [It's kind of... weird...?] Besides, it's pretty easy to remember where everything is. First district has housing, second is the city's administrative district, third is commercial, and fourth is recreational -- more or less.

[uncouthhatcher]

[Only talked to guys, huh. Must not be anything different for her considering the field. Old dudes and all. But they're probably around her age. And good looking. Whatever, ain't like Crys is looking for a date--]

You know, it ain't a surprise that you're talkin' to a lot of guys around here.

[capturespecialist]

Really? I never did it a lot in my free time. [see

see there's a

difference

between free time and work time. TALKING TO BOYS ON HER WORK TIME DOESN'T COUNT.] I don't even get to talk to our seniors or juniors as much as I'd like, and Silver's near-impossible to get a hold of at home, and I'm always hesitant about calling you since you might be busy...

[uncouthhatcher]

Crys, I've always got time for you and Silver! Seriously, sheesh, I'd make time for you two. Silver just does his own damn thing back home and you're too busy to even call me. Or worryin' that I'm too busy. [He is not sweet. He'd just put his friends before his work. You know, as excuses to get out of it. Yeah.] I bet you talked to a lot of guys during work though.
