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.

A humourless laugh. "I could ask you the same question. I guess we're even, huh." He pours himself some water, chews at his lip.

"You, uh, punch your brother often?"

[goodluckkobra]

"Only when he deserves it." So, yes, often. Punching brothers is a time-honored tradition, anyway.

"And I never had anyone to teach me those lessons. I was raised by fuckin' wolves, you insensitive fuckhole." He laughs.

Galen's laugh is kind of anemic. He's this close to concluding that all three of these dudes are just totally crazy.

"Oh. Huh. My bad," he says. "I guess I'll just head back over... there."

[goodluckkobra]

"Wait. Hold on. I should, like... give you a cigarette or somethin' to make up for it, right? It's not your fault that you're a clone. You're still a human being or whatever." He's going to kill the motherfuckers who cloned his brother, though.

Who the fuck clones someone's brother? That shit is fucked up! Why would they want two of him, anyway? He loves Party, but one is fuckin' enough.

Definitely not one for sensitivity, he decides. Galen smiles tightly, but takes a step back anyway, raising his free hand a little. "It's fine, dude, seriously. Don't worry about it."

Then, raised hand giving a casual little salute, he turns on his heel and starts making a beeline for... well, anyone else.
