Merry Christmas everyone!

I'm Sirius, one of the two lovely wizards around here. Next month is the big opening of our magic shop, but today I speak on behalf of something, someone else.

See this lovely lady?

[He turns the device until it shows the moving photograph of Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, how she's smiling and waving rather untypically at the camera.]



She currently doesn't have a date for New Year's Eve! It's bad enough to spend Christmas alone or, well, in the company of a drunkenly depressed friend with an odd sense of humour, but how can a gorgeous woman like that be alone for New Year's?

It'd be a crime, I'm sure you agree. She is called Anita, she can probably kick your arse the way she'll kick mine if she catches me for this, she is, as you can see, absolutely gorgeous. Add wit and charm to that and anyone who's not snatched up yet should be going after her!

However, needless to say, there are some requirements. For one, she only wants males. I'm sorry, ladies, I've been trying to convince her! For another, obviously you should be good-looking and charming and witty yourself.

She might go for the bad boys, just a bit, but doesn't everyone?

Come on, blokes, tell me if you're interested and if you meet my approval, I might be able to help set something up.

[OOC: ...marauder is doing marauding things, I suppose. Needless to say, Anita doesn't know he's doing this. That's what makes it fun.]

Merry Christmas, everyone! It sounds like snow isn't exactly normal around here this time of year, but there's something to be said for a white Christmas, and I hope everyone is enjoying their holiday and spending it with their loved ones here on the island.

In addition, after the holidays, it looks like I'll be seeing everyone at the high school on a daily basis. For those I haven't met yet, I suppose I should introduce myself. My name is Miss Blanchard, and I'll be teaching Language Arts from now on. I look forward to getting to know you all better, and I'll see you in class!

Okay, okay, just—

[The sound of Scott clearing his throat, and Allison murmuring something, and laughing. If you have the hearing for it: are you chickening out?]

No, shut up. Okay.

[A deep breath, followed by: possibly the most awful rendition of Feliz Navidad you've ever heard. In your life. Seriously, just. Awful. Scott gets the 'Feliz Navidad' parts in alright, but mumbles most of the other parts in Spanish, only to come back strong for the English parts.

At the end of the song there's a lull, and then snickering from Allison, which turns into full-on laughter when Scott makes a pained groan.]

Yeah, yeah. Merry Christmas.

[The sound turns off halfway through one of Allison's cackles.]

Merry Christmas, New Moore!
