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!))

Gold, they're all older than me and married. They didn't want to talk to me about anything except work.

[Get off her case!!]

[uncouthhatcher]

[Fine, he'll drop it.]

... Are you interested in anyone here? Any of 'em you've met. Or whatever. Maybe I can help out, seein' as guys talk to each other and all.

[capturespecialist]

[Uh --]

Not really. [There's a lot of nice guys, but she hasn't thought of them... romantically... or whatever?] I haven't been asked out either, so I don't think anyone's interested in me either.

[uncouthhatcher]

[Cool, cool. Crys can take care of herself and all, but...]

You know what I'm gonna do, Crys?

[Ask him. Ask him what he's planning.]

[capturespecialist]

You're not going to hook me up with anyone.

[re

ject

ed]

[uncouthhatcher]

[WHY DO YOU RUIN ALL HIS FUN

ARE YOU A FUNPIRE

SOMEONE WHO SUCKS FUN

OR DO YOU JUST SUCK AT FUN]

I wasn't gonna hook you up! That's like, the last thing on my list to do! [First is hooking Silver up. With friends.] Sheesh.




[No that is exactly what he was planning his ego is so bruised rn.]

[capturespecialist]

[DON'T YOU LIE TO HER IT WAS WRITTEN ALL OVER YOUR STUPID MUG.

a sigh though. heebee jeezee lemon squeezee, gold.]

But it's still on your list. If I want to go out with someone, I'll just ask them! Don't worry so much!

[uncouthhatcher]

Well, how can I not?! I'm the only one who's got any drive to get somethin' in my pad, and it ain't like there's some kind of world-ending shit goin' on here... And this place is made for it. Kinda. I guess. Runs on contact and all.

[Slight sulking. He's kind of sore over the fact that he can't boy talk with Silver about the cutie girls and girl talk with Crys over... other things. They're like, total aliens. Both of them are too focused. How's he supposed to be excited(/panicked) over people's dating life if they don't have one?]

[capturespecialist]

[He's such a babyyyy, such a kiiid. Luckily, Crystal knows a thing or two about dealing with children.

Like they like handholding, so she'll just initiate it this time aight -- aaww yeah trainer u go and put the moves on that boy u do it]

I wouldn't want you getting jealous of me spending time with other boys. [wait that sounds too incriminating.] You or Silver. And don't say you wouldn't -- it's normal for friends to feel put-off.

[uncouthhatcher]

[yea yea u get it crys u get it

parasee do you want some lights too

pibu toss some onto her and let's be a light pair]

Pfft. We'd get over it. No big deal. [... Maybe. Silver would, yeah, he has no problems with solitude. But Gold's got issues with being alone. He'll grip her hand tighter so he can swing as they walk.] I wanna get Silver some friends, so how about you back me up about that? Just some kind of broadcast thing for him, name and hobbies and all that.

[capturespecialist]

[hella she wants lights. wait are they gonna stay, her mushroom's kind of.]

You want me to go on the network and recruit people to be Silver's friend. [Is he really asking that. Is he.]

[uncouthhatcher]

[yea they'll sta

oh

pibu would you

yeah thanks just sit on her mushie and it'll be cool!! see]

That'd be cool too, yeah, but we've gotta get him to show his face too. I'll handle that if you take care of your side!

[capturespecialist]

[yeah!! light buddies, yeah.]

Doesn't that seem a little... desperate?

[uncouthhatcher]

If I can't have him, neither can the TV. Got it?

[capturespecialist]

You sound like a jealous boyfriend.

[uncouthhatcher]

[HE WOULD PLAY THAT OFF AS A JOKE

BUT HE'S FINDING IT HARD TO FOR SOME REASON]

I so am not! It just ain't right that he can sit in front of the TV for like, five hours straight and then some days he'll just get up and disappear for like the whole day... It's seriously annoyin' me.

[He leaves a v lonely Gold. Unless they previously planned to hang out. Which Gold doesn't do, because planning is dumb and spur of the moment fun is how you should hang with bffs who live with you.]

[capturespecialist]

[Wooow you know what could solve this

communication]

And why haven't you told him that already?

[uncouthhatcher]

[Sudobo has to agree. Why don't you just tell him? Silver'd understand! They're friends.]

You know Silver. He'd call it stupid or something. [But it'd probably help.]

[capturespecialist]

Because it is, but it doesn't make your feelings any less valid. [Huff. Boys are so dumb.

Parasee has to agree. No offence, Sudobo.]

[uncouthhatcher]

[Well... It's true. Sunbo says so, too. He kind of wishes she was here... Pibu doesn't think boys are dumb tho cause he's a boy and he's not dumb.]

You see a stereo yet?

[capturespecialist]

[No, no, Pibu's too cute to be dumb. Never change, Pibee.]

Don't change the subject. [But no, she doesn't. Hm -- they'd find one in a tech store, right? To Best Buy Better Purchases.] It's only going to get worse the longer you go without talking about it. Silver won't even make fun of you for it, I bet.

[uncouthhatcher]

[Of course he'll never change!! Not even if he evolves!!!!

Also Crys might notice that Gold's grip is tightening, then loosening. Rinse and repeat. Frustrated, because he wants to get off the topic, and annoyance at why he feels put off anyway. It's just Silver doing Silver things after all.]

I'm gonna be ignorin' him favor of this stereo anyway, so it totally works out. You know? I'm just thinkin' about whatever future friends he's gonna get.

[capturespecialist]

[It's like talking to a brick wall.]

Whatever. [It's not getting anywhere, and slamming into it won't help. She'll have to revisit the topic some other time.] -- Here, what about this one?

[It's nice.]

[uncouthhatcher]

[HE

DOESN'T KNOW IF HE COULD AFFORD THAT.

... COULD CRYS AFFORD THAT?

But he's totally into it - running his hands on the surface, a grin stretching across his face. Seriously excited. Stupid boy.]

Talk about the hotshot of stereos! Man, the one I had back home can't even compete with this... [That old thing was sweet, alright.] Maybe if we put whatever money we've got together we can buy it.

[capturespecialist]

[IT'S ONLY LIKE 12000 POKEDOLLARS 120 MONEYS, PLEASE she. she can totally get it.

Especially if he keeps looking like that. She really shouldn't, after his attitude, but...]

I said I'd buy it, right? It's not like I've spent a lot of money here either, so I can probably cover it.

[Food costs, presents... No, she'll definitely maybe have enough to cover it. Even if only barely.]
