Santa Claus is coming to town

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.

Donna spots her favourite nerd boy across the room and heads over. She can't attend a party without saying hi to him after all, can she?

"Merry Christmas, Cas."

He smiles. "And the same to you, Donna." She's not quite the redhead he's looking for, but he is happy to see Donna. Perhaps he has been hiding himself away too much. He should make an effort to see the people he has met here.

Hiding himself away is definitely bad. And Donna really doesn't want to have to resort to dragging him out of hiding unless she has to. And not just because he could kill her far more easily than he dealt with the giant wolves of people eating doom or anything... Totally not because of that. Well, maybe that a little bit...

"I got you some presents." Cape Kore is hardly Matalan or Argos or even John Lewis, but it's the thought that counts, right? Hence the reason she is handing over one neatly wrapped festive jumper and some home-made cupcakes.

He takes the packages with a smile. "I didn't know I was supposed to get anyone else a gift." He'd make it up to them, though. No one had ever really gotten him gifts before and it warmed him in an odd way. People were thinking of him as important and it doesn't seem like it's only because of what he can do for them. The cupcakes especially, because he doesn't need to eat, but he knows that she put work into making them and the gesture doesn't go unappreciated.

Donna isn't expecting anything in return. The guy barely knows how to give good hugs, she really doesn't expect him to've mastered the art of gift-giving yet.

"You don't have to get gifts for anyone." She'd never understand the people who made a big deal out of having to give someone a present just because said person gave them one first or to get one in return. Giving gifts should be about the joy of giving it to someone you care about... or something like that.

"Having a good time?"

"I am." It's nice to know he can make friends, even if they don't really know what he is or what he's done. He can still value that they want to know him and hope that when the truth comes out they won't be entirely disappointed in him.

"It was smart of Anna to do this. I think sometimes humans need distractions."

"We're easily distracted creatures. Dangle something shiny in front of us and we're gone! Like kittens, only not as cute. And we talk more. And pollute more. And well, kittens don't start wars - at least not that I know of. Kitten warfare... At least it'd be fluffy... and clawy..." Oh Donna, master of the ramblers!

Speaking of kittens... "Do you think I should find something for Bernice? I hear kittens like shiny things, too."

"Oh, absolutely! Kittens love all kinds of shiny stuff and things they can chase. How is she, by the way? et she's getting big, huh?"
