[He takes a while, just turning it in his hands for a bit. It was such a cheesy, kitschy little thing.. it really shouldn't make him happy and a little homesick.]

Hey, kiddo. Take t'night off.

From:

[It's not much, he types respectably well for someone well and soused, but every now and then there's an uncorrected key slip of someone who has decided the Christmas Spirit is rum.]

bacvk atcha

From:

His expression was shuttered at that, taking some painstaking attention in rearranging the prints. It wasn't so much that he had any stake in the founders, patriotism was only a middling sort of emotion to him...

"Nah, what you see is what you got."

From:

[He couldn't really help a snort of laughter. Self derisive rather than any hint of mocking.]

Mess already happened. Prolly like t'happen again since we got off easy this time.

Trust me if we had any way a bein' picky or askin' first. We'd be in a lot better shape.

From:

[She doesn't expect the break at first, which only sweetens her relaxed lean onto her desk.]

I guess that the shopping trips are mostly over by now.

From:

[Is there actually any other spirit?]

youre with lowell arent you

From:

Yeah, everyone's doin' that hangin' out part by now.

Yall got anythin' like that?

From:

Some of this. Some of that. Some I got done before getting here.

[Eyebrow raise.] If you're referring to a certain specific group, our original analogue is not really on your calendar, so we either adopt Christmas or stubbornly refuse to do so. [take some guesses which NPC's troll is the stubborn one. guess. go on, guess.

it's sollux]

From:

From:

From:

From:

[There's a paaaause as he works out if this was a you're in trouble tone or not. ............................ And realizes he may, in fact, be drunk, actually. And this drunk is currently getting in the way of that meanings bullshit........]

There's still some here?

From:

Huh, guess time measures are all fucked up if y'put Earth's to it. [As much as it made sense, it was STILL a bizarre thing to think about.]

Kinda surprised ya do have somethin' like it. Good t'hear though.

From:

Uhuh, there were the gifts and the gatherings with "family", sort of, and the big central decoration... this is my third Christmas, though, and I'm very fond of the holiday.

What did you do for it, before?

From:

[Mild trouble at best, Vennett. She likes you too much for anything else.]

enough to keep all that logic out of my head?

From:

[That gets a wry, fond grin.]

Didn't think much on it til just the years past. Used t'be just a fuckin' cold day in t'middle of a bunch a others. Then a cheap excuse t'get Les a gift without her tryin' t'figure out what I broke...

But Julia? ... She loved it. Didn't really get it but aint no two year old brat gonna turn down a pile a toys. Spend t'whole day fillin' up t'apartment with laughter an' getting inta everythin'.

From:

If yu like rum. Some wine too but its weak shit

From:

lovely. keep some set aside then for when I drop off your gift

From:

damit

From:

That's so cute. [She says with a refined fondness, definitely a little affectionate while still falling short of the intense gush of adoration a human girl might give, after a brief delay involving intense concentration. It's like she had to solve an equation in her head to answer.]

What do the dolls look like, do you play [She doesn't know Cowboys and Indians, and she doesn't think he'd know Terraingers and Limebloods--] Soldiers and Masked with them, or dress-up, or domestic shenanigans. [The tense is wrong, but she doesn't want to correct it - and technically present is more appropriate for a general question, she can defend that.]

From:

what?

christ dont tell me you dont want a present either
