♫ 11 (backdated to Christmas morning!)

[both_neither]

[Morning arrives in Paradisa and for once Gren can actually be found in the castle proper. It's Christmas, and there doesn't seem to be anything the castle can do to dampen his spirit, lingering ice-melt not withstanding. He'll be easy enough to find - stopping for a quick breakfast in the kitchen first on his way up through the hallways to deliver the few gifts he'd gotten people (there was no way he'd ask the ghosts to deliver them for him, after all). His ultimate goal is of course the room of his erstwhile comrade. He's already smiling to himself as he knocks on the door.]

((OOC: Open in person for all giftees and ambushing for last minute kissing shenanigans!))

[Nora's actually in the hallway on her way to the kitchen, herself, when she spots Gren. She grins and gives him a little wave]

Merry Christmas, Gren! Or, wait, do you guys still celebrate Christmas?

[both_neither]

Oh, sure. But we call it Space-mas now.

[Worst straight face ever]

[eat_me_beat_me]

Space-mas. Right. You don't really expect me to believe that, do you?

[both_neither]

Not really.

I do have something for you though. [He juggles the large bag he's carrying at the moment and digs a medium-sized red box from it's depths]

[fistfullofmagic]

[Dhaos is already in the kitchen when Gren arrives, peacefully munching on a piece of toast. If he seems rather oblivious to what today is, it's a mixture of not particularly caring about holidays and having no other explanation than a few Christmas carols, which are rather useless without any sort of context.]

Hello again.

[both_neither]

[He gives Dhaos a friendly wave and sets his bag of yet-to-be-delivered Christmas presents on the counter]

Morning.

[fistfullofmagic]

[His eyes briefly flick to the bag.]

I assume that has something to do with the holiday the castle has been celebrating throughout the month?

[nothingtobelieve]

[Knocks on the door rarely bring good news, in Vicious' experience, which might explain why it takes him a moment to even open the door. And when he does, it's with an expression of half irritation and half apathy, although when he sees who it is, he actually leaves the door open, waiting to see what it is Gren wants]

[both_neither]

[Gren hadn't expected much more from the other man. More so on Christmas morning, maybe, but that didn't daunt him in the slightest]

Good, you're up. I have something I need to show you.

[nothingtobelieve]

[He really should have been expecting this sort of thing from Gren, but somehow, he hadn't quite.]

I hope it doesn't involve bears.

[Because those had been ridiculous.]

[yay_heiress]

[London's already smiling, but her smile gets more excited as she notices this good-looking guy walking the halls and delivering presents. She walks up to him, leading her Pomeranian Ivanna with her.]

Ooh! Are you filling in for Santa?

[both_neither]

[He slings the bag of gifts over his shoulder]

In a much smaller capacity, yes.

[yay_heiress]

Do you have a present for me?

[3nterprising]

[Faye's just opening her door as Gren walks past it.]

You seem like you're in a good mood.

[both_neither]

[He stops and smiles]

Because I am. It's a day full of potential, can't you feel it?

[3nterprising]

You mean because it's Christmas?
Yeah, I guess there's always room for improvement.

[silentrunning]

[Gren's been spotted. And Chell's not forgotten him at all. So, being Chell, she suddenly appears next to him and waves with a massive grin. There's a plate of cookies in her hand. After waving to Gren, she turns to offer him a cookie. Hey. Cookies are good breakfast food, right?]

[both_neither]

Hey there Chell. Merry Christmas.

[He points at the plate and raises a brow]

For me?

[silentrunning]

[If possible her grin widens even further. Yup. Heck. You could take the entire plate if you wanted! She's ate a few herself and wouldn't mind sharing.

Holding out the plate so he can get as many as he wants, she digs into the pocket of her jeans and pulls out a holiday card. It's obviously hand-drawn. The lines are a little heavy and childish, and some of the details are wrong... ever seen Santa with a cherry for a nose and a bowlful of jelly on his stomach? Well you have now. But on the inside is written the following.]

Hey Gren,
Merry Christmas. I hope that it and the forthcoming year are good for you.

[And it's signed with her name.]

[hard_talker]

[Santa Mark is dropping off the last of his mix tapes and CDs when he spots Gren and gives him a wave]. Hey, dude, long time no see! Merry freakin' Christmas.

[both_neither]

Same to you. Looks like we're both playing Santa this morning...[He nodded at the gifts at the nearest door]

[hard_talker]

Not a bad thing. [he grins] Got one for you, actually, if you've got room to carry it.

[asseenontv]

[He had actually been about to leave to deliver his own round of gifts. COINCIDENCE, clearly]

Oh! Hello.

wow yeah I totally missed this sorry

[both_neither]

[He's about half in the process of dropping the bag on Star's doorstep when it opens. Slightly awkward, but he doesn't really mind all that much.]

Oh, you caught me. Hey.

[He holds the bag out to Star instead]

Merry Christmas.

[asseenontv]

[Shatterstar gives him a bright smile, and takes the bag]

Merry Christmas to you too! I have something for you as well.

[He shuffles through the packages in his arms until he finds Gren's, and holds it out]

Here.
