Station Identification Break - special holiday presentation

[hard_talker]

Hey, Merry Christmas, Paradisa. No broadcast this week, in keeping with the season ... but trust me, you won't be short on music. [since everyone will be waking up to find the "ice hotel" staff delivering them a copy of this mix.] Anyone wants to join me and Nora, we'll be in the Game Room watchin' some good old-fashioned high-quality holiday entertainment with a bowl of popcorn and some eggnog.

[and sometime later, you might catch the strains of this program sneaking over the journal. ... yeah. you're all so very welcome. feel free to come hunt them down: CR who got presents in the meme can receive them in person, here, or give their own!]

[Nora hops over the back of the couch, flopping next to Mark. She chuckles and fixes her skirt, smoothing out one of the sweaters Ino had given her.

She grins, snagging a handful of popcorn.]

Not a bad way to spend the holiday.

[hard_talker]

Definitely not. ... [he turns, and does a double-take, staring at her sweater ... and then promptly cracks up]

Oh, Jesus Christ. That's ... okay, that's awesome.

[eat_me_beat_me]

[She laughs, licking her lips and beaming at him]

You like it? You can thank Ino for the lovely addition to my wardrobe.

[hard_talker]

[he leans on her as he manages to stop laughing] Figures. ... What movie d'you think we should drag her to?

[eat_me_beat_me]

[She snags the popcorn bowl and drapes her legs over his lap with a shrug]

I dunno. Maybe a comedy. We get enough action around here already.

[hard_talker]

[cue his most passable Beavis impression] Hehheh. Heh. Heh. Action. Heh.

[eat_me_beat_me]

[She cracks up, tossing a piece of popcorn his way] wrong kind of action, butt head.

[hard_talker]

[yeah, laughing again. his sides are gonna hurt if this keeps up.] That was supposed to be Beavis, not Butt-head, fuck you.

[he'll pick the popcorn off his shirt and throw it right back]

So, hey, y'know what I almost did? Well. What I was gonna do before the castle turned the whole place into the basement steps from Home Alone?

[eat_me_beat_me]

[That makes two of them. She can't remember the last time she laughed so hard.]

I know, I was just calling you a butt head, asshole. [She picks the popcorn off her shirt and eats it.] no. What were you gonna do?

[Ugh, Christmas. Stealing all the best bits of Hogswatch and adding a generous layer of GUILT on top of it. How much does she hate this holiday. Still, she knows it's important for her Earth-y friends, so she at least manages to keep most of the disdain out of her tone]

What sort of entertainment?

[cyan_maid]

[psych0p0mps]

[Felix had all his presents sent out via castle this morning. Due in part to the chilly weather. He's got his own clingy significant other at the moment, so forgive him for not coming out to visit in person.]

Merry Christmas to the both of you.

[hard_talker]

Hey, don't eat that, you know where it's been. [grinning like an idiot]

I was gonna load the tapes into my boombox and go around all John Cusack.

[hard_talker]

Cheesy cartoons, as many as possible with holiday-mocking content that shows just how overblown and commercialized this whole trainwreck really is. ... You get presents. And yes, I'm totally being intentionally ridiculous and ironic about that.

[hard_talker]

Sure did! It was the perfect breakfast. How's it going?

[hard_talker]

You do? I didn't realize trolls did Christmas.

[hard_talker]

Same to you! Are you gonna come collect your loot, or should we just send it over? I didn't open yours yet, just in case.

[cyan_maid]

Hoo hoo! You ate it for breakfast? Oh goodness!!

It's going pretty well! Thank you for the mix tape, by the way!

[mal_addict]

Well, I do enjoy holiday mocking.

[psych0p0mps]

well we didnt on our home planet of course
but i dont see a reason not to celebrate it here
its fun!

[eat_me_beat_me]

You really think that's gonna stop me? [She holds out a piece of popcorn for him to nom]

[with a snerk] What would you do? Like stand in front of doors and hold it over your head? You'd end up with huge muscles doing that all day.

[lord_wizard]

You'll have to excuse me if I am somewhat indisposed at the moment.
