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.

Probably more attention than Gabriel had. After all, he can't even remember what kind of shoes Dr Sexy wears. He's a terrible fan.
"Fine, I'll leave some in the kitchen. But if Balthazar gets his hands on it, you're dealing with the consequences, not me."

Isn't this just quaint. To any outsiders, they would seem like completely regular people - if a little boring, because who really stands around at a party talking about TV shows? It's exactly what Anna is going for thou, regular and boring, and so it fits in perfectly with the image she's been trying to cultivate for herself.
"Oh no way, you can't put that on me. You know what he's like, if he's drunk it's going to be so much worse."

In all honesty, Gabriel's enjoying this. The human act comes naturally these days, but he's used to being a rather more flamboyant human. Regular guy is relatively new to him, and it is nice to be casual this way, rather than trying to start or avoid a fight or flirtation.
"You know what he's like. If there's alcohol in the kitchen, he'll be pouring it on his friggin' cereal. And I'm not just leaving it with you, he'll get jealous. Besides, he'd probably nick it."
no subject
Normally any interaction with the family she has here bring about conflicted emotions at best- and really, she got luckier than she can imagine with arriving to find the few that won't try to kill her on sight. It's far too much of an unpleasant reminder of everything that has passed, not to mention all that hasn't, but this is nice. It's dull and mundane, and as mushy as it is she can't think of a better Christmas present. Even if it hadn't been intended that way at all.
"So because you don't want to handle him getting jealous, I have to be burdened with sole responsibility of Balthazar? Either leave it with me and I'll keep it quiet, or promise you'll help me when he gets drunk and wants to have fun."
no subject
He waves a hand dismissively, nearly spilling his drink in the process. That's the problem with being one of those people who talk with their hands a lot, holding things gets to be a problem.
"If he wants to have fun he'll come to me straight off anyway. Everyone knows I'm the fun one."
