The Big List of Xmas 2008 Gifts

[benloserz.livejournal.com]

Ben sneaks in from upstairs, and places a series of boxes on the counter. "Can you please deliver those for me? Thanks!"

...

Gifts for Mia Ausa, Mallory Grace, Hedwig Robinson, Faye Whitaker, Miss Katherine Barlow, Ginny Weasley, Justin Taylor, Will Scarlett, Turanga Leela and anyone else.

That done, he heads out back to Michigan for two days of celebration with his family and friends.

Today, Bob is looking considerably more cheerful (and less toaster-y) than the last time he was seen in Milliways. He's even humming a little to himself as he strolls in and drops a small stack of VidWindows on the bartop.

"Could you convert those to CD format and give them to the people they're addressed to, Bar?"

The windows disappear. Presumably that can be taken as a 'yes.'

"Thanks. Merry Christmas."

( for Ray, Whistler, Suzi, the Autobots, Laini, Hiro, YT, Agents K and Zed, and anyone else the mun may have forgotten... )

In Adrian Shephard's world it's late August or early September or something. He's been outside often enough to know that this crazy-ass borderworld is on a different calendar, what with the weather and all, but he hadn't really been paying attention until he came in from this morning's run and range time. Breakfast was coffee, scrambled eggs, biscuits*, and a long skinny hunk of wood with a couple of tools and a note reading Merry Christmas- good luck finishing it.

He's not sure where it came from, but it's sure as hell not that G-man creep's style to hand out what looks to Shephard like real live lemonwood bowstaves as Christmas presents, so he'll take it and worry about where it comes from later. Right now, tillering it down to a usable shape by the fire sounds like a great idea.


*Like this. American biscuits are savory things that usually involve very few ingredients and are often served with some form of gravy, for the benefit of our British readers.

Belar's in the Bar again, and this time the sign on the table in front of him reads:

ANSWERING PRAYERS
BACK IN 15 MINUTES

NEW HEAD OF SECURITY ON DUTY AFTER THAT

IF YOU ARE ON SECURITY, I NEED TO TALK TO YOU
THERE'S GONNA BE A MEETING

He'll put up the sign on the bulletin board to get hold of the others shortly, but it never hurts to try and reach people in person first, y'know?

"Merry Christmas, everybody," Ray calls out as he steps through the Milliways door. He's in his winter uniform today, the dark blue jumpsuit being better suited to New York's current temperatures and odd sideways precipitation, but he's got a Santa hat with a number of brightly colored LEDs embedded in the white fur portion and they're flashing on and off. "Or happy everything else, anyway."

Damn, it's good to be back.

Presents!

[candied-rabbit.livejournal.com]

There are very few days when Momiji doesn't have time to pop into the Bar for a quick break. There are plenty where he doesn't happen to - very few when his absence is a result of being a bit too frazzled.

Today, alas, is one such rare event. But, as it happens to coincide with the Milliholidays, he's here anyway, precariously balancing a load of presents as he descends the stairs. He'd had all his holiday gifts stowed up in his room for just such an occasion!

A few moments later, he's popped over to Ms. Bar and asked her to dole them out to their proper recipients.

( Mia Ausa )

( Le Chiffre )

( Artemis Fowl )

( Guppy Sandhu )

( Will Scarlett )

( Justin Taylor )

( The Bar! )

With the gifts all dealt with, he scampers off towards the front door and slips right out of it, back to his own world.

For lack of a better way to put it, Paul has never really done Christmas. Spirits are generally high in California, yes, but the fact that there's no snow tends to put a damper on things. To his credit, however, he has gone holiday shopping.

(Also to his credit, he's dressed very nicely today - black slacks, light blue button-down shirt, black jacket with glasses tucked into the breast pocket, paisley neckerchief - which has made him rather self-conscious, not that you can pick up on that immediately.)

From the door, he heads straight to the bar to drop off a number of relatively well-wrapped presents.

( For: Doc Scurlock )

( For: Kate Warner )

( For: Medusa )

( For: Tony Stark )

( For: Artemis )

He stares at the bar a moment longer before sitting down and getting himself a glass of water. Botherable, if you don't mind slight nerves.

Apparently Bar had decided that adventures in wrapping gifts would be one way to keep Doc occupied for an evening, so a few nights ago she gave him several rolls of colored paper, and several rolls of scotch tape. Needless to say, it kept him occupied for quite some time.

Doc makes his way downstairs and it takes a few trips before gifts are left at the bar:

( Katherine Barlow, Jack Bauer, Will Scarlett )

( Kate Bishop, Guppy Sandhu, and Atton Rand )

( Paul Avery, Artemis, Kate Warner, Bill Pardy, and Nathan Petrelli )

( Moiraine, Ben Wade, Raven, and Coyote )

( Charlie Monroe, Parker Lee, Teja )

Once that is done, he settles himself on a barstool with a cup of hot chocolate, a pen, and a few pieces of paper. It might be the holiday season, but he still has a little bit of work to take care of. From the looks of it, there is math involved.

ooc: Tags are welcome if you want to tag. Happy holidays, everyone. :D Edited to note: The scarves are not your traditional long/knit scarf, but more like bandanas, and made of light silk.

For Bart's sake, Jenny had been spending much of her time reading up about Christmas. The holiday seems to mean a lot to her boyfriend and while she might not still quite comprehend why, she is determined to be as festive as possible.

Which is why, when she sees no one else behind the bar, she takes the sack of gifts she had collected in various marketplaces around the universe. (Well, a part of the universe near Ragon, anyway.) She asks Bar for a Santa suit, quickly dons it (beard, too), and then sets to writing up the specials list.

Specials
Egg nog
Hot chocolate
Holiday punch
Ginger snap

Merry Christmas!

That bag of gifts sits on the bar next to her. If this doesn't make her boyfriend happy, she doesn't know what.

Tonight there is a Musketeer in the bar, sitting at a table, with a glass of wine. It's red, and the bottle lacks a label, but he's obviously pleased with the vintage, given the content look on his face.

Athos has a new magazine - National Geographic - and is reading about the jungles of Borneo. He's dressed as if he is on duty, blue tunic and rapier at his side, but obviously he's taking a break in Milliways, tonight.

(There is also a small bag at his side, in which are several gifts for people.)

Demyx is sitting at a table, scribbling out things on lined music paper. His sleeves are rolled up to his shoulders and all across his arms are illegible notes as well in the same pen he's messily writing across the paper with. He's finishing off his presents, alright?

He does, however, have a dilemma.

There is a sign stating such.

[oom: Unusually, Christmas in Holby has not yet involved death, explosion, sudden illness, MAJAX or DOOM for anyone Guppy knows. So instead, only cute warnings apply.]

Guppy enters, with a sack of things to deliver to people he figures may not be at Life Support, which he puts under the tree*.

( Amanda, Asar-Suti, Zhaan, Momiji, Miniver, Molly Hayes, Gil, Ginny, Sam Linnfer, Atton, Homestar, Mia, Le Chiffre, Mike, Ben Winchester, Seras, Enzo )

Hoping he hasn't missed anyone, he sits at the bar and begins to eat him way through a box of Quality Streets.

He'll share, if approached.


[*Assuming there is one. Otherwise, he gives them to the Bar, who absorbs them, and is made of wood, and therefore the metaphor still applies. Ish.]

When Godric took the stairs two at a time down into the commons he had to pause on the last step. The bar sure did look festive with all its decor for the holidays everywhere and the tree that resided in the room. Everyone was in a festive sort of spirit, but there was one thing missing.

Standing on that last step the wizard pondered this for a good few minutes before he snapped his fingers and knew exactly what it needed. With his right hand he removed the wand from behind his belt, giving it a gentle movement through the air like a lovers caress. A spell like this required such gentleness.

The end of the wand started to glow a soft white with a blue hue around it and, every so slightly, little white flakes started to fall from the ceiling. When they hit the floors or the tables they seemed to vanish without leaving even a watery trace! If someone were to catch a flake or two on their tounges, it would taste like the first time they ever ate a snowflake!

Pleased with his work the wizard made his way deeper into the room heading straight toward the bar. Yes. Today was a good day.

So, a MORBO walks into a Bar.

But.

MORBO HAS A HOLIDAY HAT.

(it is not a Christmas hat. it is a holiday hat. we do not want to offend the other infidels.)

MORBO looks tired, though, and groans as he sits down at the Bar. Apparently Christmas shopping for his BELLIGERENT AND NUMEROUS family has exhausted MORBO tonight.

Poke him at your own risk.

Carlotta has been very busy.

Over the course of the year, she has been making pots in art, and smuggling them out into the bar for Christmassy purposes.

There are therefore small parcels, each containing a different colour glazed pot. Weyland, Knox, Momiji, Yuki and The Question have ones about the size of pencil holders, in various shades of red, purple and sparkly. Demeter and Teja get vases in green (Demeter's is slightly wonky but fully functional). Accompanying each is a hand painted Christmas card.

It feels rather odd giving them out in summer, but she puts them under the tree nonetheless, pausing to peer with interest at the modern decorations.

***

Chase's time in the gardens has paid off, it seems.

He wrapped them mostly in newspaper, and put them under the tree.

( Gert, Victor, Molly, Karolina, Xavin, Nico )

Then he settles by the fire, taking his socks off when he reckons Gert isn't looking.

Chuck came into the bar expecting nothing more than to have a quick cup of tea before returning to Christmas preparations at the Pie Hole, but when she sat down, a brown paper package (and note) materialized beside her drink of choice.

She couldn't help but exclaim her glee, feeling her heart burst with cheer as she opened her gift, so that once she was finished with her tea, she hugged the book to her chest and left the bar - and back into Ned's kitchen.

A few hours later, she returns with two green-coloured boxes, each tied up with red ribbon. In them are a selection of different flavoured cup pies - freshly baked from the Pie Hole. Accompanying each box is a small card.

( Dear Dr Jekyll )

( Dear Al Calavicci )

The boxes are left with the Bar, with a request to keep them fresh for as long as possible - until the recipients come to pick them up.

And then, because there is still so much to do back home, Chuck exits the bar once more.

It's actually past Christmas, on the other side of Antoine's door. However, this fact is doing little to stop him from partaking in the holiday spirit.

He is currently functioning as a bit of an accessory to the couch. His six-foot frame is long enough to take up the entire couch, his head just missing an arm of the couch, his feet propped up, legs crossed, on the other end. A bottle of champagne (half empty) sits at the foot of the couch, and there is a garland of silver tinsel wrapped about his neck and shoulders.

Underneath the tinsel, there's sand on his cream-colored shirt (sleeves rolled up to the elbows) and engine grease on his hands. There's a tired and yet rejuvenated look about his features (et j’ai vu un petit bonhomme tout à fait extraordinaire qui me considérait gravement), and he has one arm thrown over his forehead, eyes closed, but with a wonderfully happy smile on his face.

He wouldn't, if anyone's curious, be averse to sharing that bottle of champagne.

At one point midway through the evening, Sariel comes through the front door with an armful of neatly-wrapped gifts. said gifts quickly end up under the tree*, names attached.

( Will Scarlett )

( Harding )

( Yrael )

( River )

( Tanya )

( Captain Kirk )

Presents delivered, Sariel ducks back out the door- she's due on the bridge, and being late is not an option in her book.

*taking a leaf from guppy's mun's book, if there's no tree, then the presents are with Bar.

Henry's told Finn enough about Christmas that some of it's finally seeped in.

So Finn takes the stairs two at a time, and goes to talk to the bar about his gifts. (He asks her to give a mug of hot cocoa to Lethe, two of his drawings of the mountains to Rial and Plourr, a "...thing for babies" [it ends up being a small stuffed elephant] for their daughter, and grabs a plate of hot cookies for Henry.)

He then sits and writes a note to the recipients of his gifts (along with Kim, Meg, Paul, and Dan Evans). He stares at the blank paper for a long time, writes Have a good krystmas in a scrawling hand, stares at the paper for several more minutes, bites the pen, and signs it Finn.

Setting the note down, he grabs the cookie plate and a bottle of milk and jogs back upstairs.

The bar is bristling with boxes, scraps of wrapping paper, and more deliberate decorations. Cameron does a remarkable job of projecting confusion without actually moving her face in any way.

She's an advanced model.
