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.

People look at Steve with those eyes all the time, and he returns the favor manifold. But everyone knows why he's sad, why he's angry, why he's distant. His melancholy holds no secrets and hides no shame. He knows what this looks like but not what she's thinking. He knows he shouldn't bring it up. It's "Christmas Eve." He knows that whatever happened ran deep, because Sharon is a SHIELD agent and a damn good one and if he knows anything from Coulson and Fury and Hill they're consummate professionals.

He trusts her to watch his back but that trust only goes so far and it's starting to lose its lacquered shine. He needs to talk to her. Sometime. Sometime soon. Because he's tired of her shooting him looks like he's supposed to know something, calling him Captain Rogers when they're off duty. When they're at a goddamn Christmas party.

He won't say anything.

He won't say anything because he can't say anything.

He won't write anything.

He won't.

He scrawls, "Merry Christmas, Agent Carter."

He tries to hide his determined frown, but he seems about as bad as doing that as she is.
