Santa Claus is coming to town

[afallenstar]

Who: Secret Santa participants, but also EVERYONE!
Where: Town Hall
When: Evening of day 24
What: Present giving! The Secret Santa reveal, and anyone who wants to have a christmas party is welcome to join too!
Notess: Party style thread guys, so go nuts. No order, everything is chaos, tag to your hearts content, feel free to break off into separate threads, and no spiking the punch! Also I think she's sort of mentioned it to a bunch of people but want to do me some lovely favours and handwave the actual name drawing? I will backtag if people want but it seems a little pointless to thread that out.


There's another message on the network that morning from Anna, just audio again. It's about as garbled as her first one regarding the Secret Santa idea, but for anyone who is listening closely enough they'll make out a few details. Namely this evening, town hall, and bring your presents before she shuts it off.

She's spent the rest of the day trying to do what she can to make the place look nicer. She's hardly got Christmas decorations on tap, but she's done what she can with what she has all the same. There's paper snow flakes up around the place, some of the food from her house placed in bowls to make it more party-appropriate, and it's no fir but she has relocated a small tree from the edge of the woods and placed it in the hall. Barely decorated, not even the right kind of tree, it's the best she can do with the resources she's been given.

Now all there is to do is wait for people to come.

"Fuck you!" It's right on the tip of he tongue when Wallie lets him go, waiting like another useless knife. The gift is safe on the table, and his hand circle around his own neck protectively. "What's wrong with you?!"

[reluctantsword]

A lot of things. Oh, yes, arguably there are quite a lot of things wrong with him, and Shonsu is definitely too strong right now because he's quite sure he'd enjoyed that.

"Pick up your knife," he says, gesturing to the fallen bowie knife. "Where I come from, I would have the right to execute you for carrying that, much less pulling it on me."

Oh, those are Shonsu's words. Damn.

"You all right?"

[gloryisbullshit]

"Yeah, where I come from I don't give a shit about your right to execute." He's pretty quick to grab the blade, though. Futile though it may be, that's a security item. Party scoffs at the question. "You're kidding me, right? Am I alright?"

[reluctantsword]

"Yeah. Are you all right?"

Just because he lost his temper doesn't mean he really wants to beat the crap out of random assholes, either. Wallie runs his hand over his hair.

"If you want to go around picking fights, that's your business, but do you really want to try picking fights with me?"

[gloryisbullshit]

"I wasn't picking fights, I was teasing, slowbus. Do they not tease on you planet? Don't fucking touch me again." Is he alright. Like he's some kid caught playing with a knife or something, what an asshole. Party's quite fine though, aside from the violent, embarrassed blush flooding over his cheeks. He packs his knife back away and turns to get the fuck outta dodge. "Give Phil a kiss for me. Sure he'll just love those."

[reluctantsword]

Wallie's pretty sure he was better about being teased when he was entirely himself. It's Shonsu who apparently can't take it -- from someone who's, what, half his size? Christ. Sometimes he really can't stand Shonsu.

"Yeah. Yeah, you stay out of my way, I won't touch you."

Well all that attitude is going to get will be a militant middle finger. That's for you. Merry Christmas.
