8th sweater: a ruby gem

[bezazzled]

[Bunnymund, Garry, Hellboy, Jane, John, Kalinda, Lucrezia, Once-ler, Vriska]

So remember how I said that I was postponing Christmas presents until Valentine's Day? Well, it's almost Valentine's Day, so I think you've waited long enough.

Surprise, I have presents for you! Let me know where you are and I will personally hand deliver it to you. You are so going to love it. I think these are some of my finest works yet.

See you soon!

[Each of her previously mentioned friends will be receiving a hand-knitted sweater:

Garry	Hellboy	Jane
John	Kalinda	Once-ler
Vriska	Alternate for Vriska	Bunnymund
Lucrezia	Spike (wearing)

She might cry if anyone says they don't absolutely love it.]



[True to her word, Mabel will be out and about wandering the castle and delivering her hand-crafted gifts to her closest friends. She also happens to have a stash of assorted colorful headbands and wristbands that she also knitted in case she bumps into someone who didn't get a sweater.

Stop her along the way to say hi?]


(ooc: THIS IS ALSO AN OPEN POST. she's walking all around the castle delivering presents, so feel free to bump into her anywhere!)

Comments

action!

[iin2ufferable]

[ Sollux does not so much as bump into the strange girl with way too many sweaters as he does casually float by her (because walking is for chumps) and nearly ignore her. But he finds that he can't help but wonder, what the hell does anyone need with that many sweaters? So he turns and sets down on the ground. ]

Uh. What's with all the sweaters?

woo!

[bezazzled]

[Arms full of sweaters, she still manages a neat little twirl to face whoever is addressing her.

Grey skin, candy horns, boring t-shirt with a zodiac on it... This is another one of those trolls! He's not one she's familiar with, but that will change.]

They're gifts! I made them all myself. Wanna see?

[heloise]

[ MABEL YOU ARE TOO PRECIOUS. ]

Ortus Tower, 1708.

[bezazzled]

[To the Ortus Tower!!

Lucrezia is the first stop of the day, so she's still carrying the other sweaters with her when she arrives at her room. She manages to hoist them onto one arm while she quickly knocks on the door.]

[wagers]

You got me a present?

[bezazzled]

Correction! I made you a present. I would have had them ready for Christmas, but I was out for a while that month. Literally.

[cyan_maid]

I'm in room 1814 in the Satis Tower! But I could come down to meet you if you like.

[bezazzled]

[So many stairs... but it's for a friend! She won't go back on her word.]

No way! You just stay put, Jane. I'll be right up there!

[Thankfully this is stop number three and she's now three sweaters lighter. She'll grab a candy bar for energy and quickly make her way up to the tower.

When she knocks on the door, she's got a chocolate bar half hanging out of her mouth and an armload of sweaters.]

[Action] it had to happen

[shenunigans]

[Dave is taking a stroll about the castle around the same time Mabel is. He has an apple juice in one hand and he's swigging on it as he wanders along. He raises an eyebrow over his shades at Mabel, a little curious about what she's up to.

He nods in greeting as he passes her.]

Sup.

omg yes

[bezazzled]

[By now she's starting to regret the offer to personally deliver each and every sweater. She hadn't realized just how spread out her friends lived, but she can't bring herself to go back on her word.

When she passes Dave, her hair beginning to look out of sorts and there's a little less pep in her step. Still, she manages to keep a smile on for whoever passes by.

She lifts her head to greet him, when--

Oh.

Oh no he's hot.]

Hey there.

Dictated forever

[whichwayyoulean]

Hey, thanks Mabel! That's really kind of you. I'm in the dining room right now.

[bezazzled]

The dining room. PERFECT. I'm on the first floor now so I'll be right over!

[She's eternally grateful that she doesn't have to climb more stairs to get to him, and it isn't long before she wanders into the dining room with her massive pile of knitted goodies.]

Once-ler? You in here?

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

You...got me a gift?

[bezazzled]

Duh! I couldn't give a whole bunch of my friends presents and leave you out.

action~

[billiardsplz]

[guess who's recklessly skateboarding around]

Aaahhhh!!

[bezazzled]

[GOLD PLZ. Mabel's feeling a bit sluggish now and she doesn't see him coming toward her. The collision is inevitable and painful, but at least the fall is softened by a pile of sweaters!]

Oof!

[kid_apocalypse]

[Derp-a-derp, Evan is wandering around the castle, pretty much out of boredom, and currently has his legs shapeshifted so he's standing about 8 feet tall, when he sees a large bundle of sweaters with legs ambling towards him.]

Wow! Those are really nice! Gifts for people?

[bezazzled]

[She peers around the pile to greet another fellow resident when oh my god what is that thing.

She has to strain her neck just to see his face, which looks oh-so confused at this point.]

Yes?

[nukeoleptic]

[ Oh, don't mind her - she'll just spot Mabel carrying the sweater meant for John. She stops her, wherever the hell it is they're crossing in the hallway. ]

--pfft oh my god, I know someone who would love that! Where did you get it?

[bezazzled]

[Not one to ever turn down a compliment, Mabel is all too happy to pick up the John sweater and hold it up higher for this girl to get a better view.]

Oh, this ol' thing? I made it myself. It's a one hundred percent Mabel original! Personalized for a friend of mine.

[majestic_leader]

[DeMarco's on his way to the kitchen, taking advantage of the ability to gorge on whatever he wanted whenever he wanted, instead of the pres-portioned, individualized meal packets he received on Requiem.]

[He's still out of armor, because he hasn't really found a reason to bother figuring out how to get it all back on again. Also, he's just going to the kitchen. He doesn't need armor for the kitchen. Still, he's pushing the limits on 6'.]

[He gives a friendly, lazy wave at Mabel as he sees her in the hallway. Seeing the simple, almost day to day things made him feel like he was back on Earth. Almost. It lacked garbage and alien asylum seekers. Smelled better, too.]

Hello!

[bezazzled]

[Mabel actually stops in her tracks when she looks up to see Mr. Tall Dark and Handsome in the hall. Hello indeed, she thinks to herself, and a hand quickly comes up to smooth out a patch of her hair. She nearly drops the sweaters as a result, but it's worth it.]

Hello to you, too. Pretty nice day we're having, isn't it?

[luxe_can_kill]

[The sound of Mitsuru's high heels echoed loudly in the castle halls while she is walking around, still trying to get a better feel of the place. She saw Mabel with her hands full of assorted garments]

Hello [she gave Mabel a warm greeting]

[bezazzled]

[Oh wow, Mabel suddenly finds herself wondering why there are so many pretty people in this castle all of a sudden. This thought distracts her momentarily, but she quickly recovers and gives her a warm greeting in return.]

Hi! I like your hair. And your shoes, too!

Mabel

[kalinda]

I'm in town right now. I can meet you at the castle later, if you'd like.

Kalinda

[bezazzled]

[Mabel is currently sitting on a bench in the lobby and letting her feet rest. She makes sure to occasionally check the journal to see if another friend has given their address.

Her shoulders slump a bit when she sees where Kalinda is. The city? Sure, it's not all that far, but she wasn't exactly expecting she'd have to leave the grounds to make these deliveries.]

Er, just how far into the city are you?

Mabel

[hellshaped]

[MABEL..................]

You really didn't need to do that.

HB

[bezazzled]

My main man, you're back to your literally old self! By the way, I'm sorry for scolding you when you were Hellbaby.

[sparks_before_fire]

_{[Well, she might run into this little toddler along her travels in the hall. He's wrapped up in what looks like something asian, a Flareon and an Espeon trailing him. He looks when we sees her and giggles, waving a tiny hand at her after throwing a ball for the Pokemon to chase after.]}

[bezazzled]

[What an absolutely adorable, precious little thing...

Mabel can't help but sling her two remaining sweaters over her shoulder to wave at the toddler as he runs about. She watches him scurry for a bit.]

Hey! Whatcha got there?

dictated

[thehangedrose]

What? A present...? For me?

[WHAT BIZARRE WORLD IS THIS. But he does sound pretty happy, and even a bit intrigued.]

Oh, um...where should I meet you?

ditto!

[bezazzled]

[Mabel makes a raspberry sound.]

Don't worry about it. I'll come to you! Just tell me where you are and I'll be on my way.
