Ah, so what do people here generally do for the holidays? We used to eat big meals and spend a lot of time together and give one another gifts... Is that something people still do, or am I terribly old-fashioned?


[Kate will find a fresh assortment of gummy candy in her drawer - soda bottles, sharks, worms, melon rings. And when she gets home, there's a bottle of sparkling grape juice, two champagne flutes, a bag of those little raspberry and blackberry candy-coated gummies, and an elaborate apology card, unsigned. Let Kate decide who that second one is from.]

[It looks like Dave's elbow-deep in poorly-cut Hanukkah and Kwanzaa wrapping paper, none of which seems to be anywhere near a present. Or even a box. Some of it is taped together like he thought maybe that would help cover a box, but yeah, no, it just made it look sad.

He peels some of it off his tape-stuck fingers.]

For those lucky kids whom this concerns: Since I'm probably gonna see most of you at some point today anyway, you might as well get your birthday presents now. That goes for you, too, April babies. Just chalk it up to Dave Strider's immeasurable charity in the face of unfair birthday distribution. That and they're yours anyway.

[Oh, there's a box--but he kicks it under his desk, out of sight.]

Some of these guys lost their kit in the wars, I guess, but if you want them you can go track them down through time.

[The feed jumps a little as he readjusts his sunglasses.]

Big bro, little bro, and bird bro, I got you something else 'cause supplies were limited. Mom and Rose, I got you some extra shit, too. The pizza place is closed today, so I'll see you guys later.

[Just as he signs off, though, there's a movement from the box he kicked under the desk--a thump, a flash of restless metal leg, and...a bunny ear?

But there ends the video.]

Who: Selina Kyle and YOU.
Where: Downtown New Moore
When: Today, any time.
What: With absolutely nothing else to do, Selina resorts to her old ways: Picking pockets.


[ Selina is wandering downtown, a cup of Starbox in her hand, slowly window shopping the more upscale stores in the area. Her gait is lazy, and she seems like she's not paying any attention-- so when she runs into someone, she gives them a sincere apology, and scurries along on her way.

With their wallet in hand. Oopsie. ]


(( OOC: Feel free to get pickpocketed, or see her do it, or just chat her up while she's window shopping! ))

Can I make a Wizard of Oz joke, or is that played out already?

I mean, I guess I could say that as far as hallucinations go, this one's pretty detailed. And long. But that seems like unnecessary info to hand out.

Still, um, no one pinch me. If the gigantic needle didn't do it, I doubt anything else will.

This might be an odd request, but does anyone know where I can find a Menorah?

Have you seen the network today?

So, this can be nothing but a success. Loki, you are a genius.

But, seriously? How much bacon did you think we needed. Half the fridge is full of it. I mean I like bacon, too, but I think we may have reached the point where this is all we will be eating for the next half of December.

Hey Derek, that thing you wanted is all set if you want to pick it up.
