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.

Whaaaat! No, back up, he's impressed. And a little confused. Don't make fun of him! "Yeah, yeah, for sure. Holy shit, was that actually Russian?"

So much eyerolling, Galen. "No, it was French-- Of course it was actually Russian!" Sure did have a similar conversation with Party under EXTREMELY DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES. Circumstances with less clothing. Ahem. This isn't weird. Not at all. Now she's babbling in Russian even faster than she does in English, mostly just saying random phrases, but then she starts describing the clothes he's wearing and finally stops talking.

"I'm kinda fluent."

[gleans]

Nope, he's beaming, now. Dying to know what she just said, sure, but also beaming. God, Kenzi, you are so cool. In fact, he's going to say as much, because she deserves to know.

"You are so fucking cool."

[onteamdyson]

"I know." But she's still blushing a little. Her ego is only so big, okay? "You promise we're gonna jam when I get back home, right? Might be a while. I got ... a thing. To do."

Ha. Do.

[gleans]

"A thing." He grins. "Yeah, for sure. Maybe you'll finally get a song out of me." Except she won't, for mysterious box reasons, but they have no way of knowing that.
