Christmas has never been a holiday of Demeter's but it is one for many people she knows. That means that today she enters holding baskets and bags full of treats for those she cares for. All of them are dropped at the Bar and instead of a signature simply have a golden sheaf of wheat in the from section.

Felix and Louis, Kate and Bill, Ben Grimm, Teja, Urquhart, Carlotta, Gordon and Alyx, Adrian Shephard, Sunshine, Malcolm Crowe )

Once they're dropped, she smiles and disappears out her door once more as there are parties to attend in France.

(OOC: If I have forgotten anyone that Demeter might gift, consider them given a loaf of bread or some desserts.)

The door opens quickly, and a distracted woman wanders in. "I'll be right back, babe. I think I left my hat in the bar." Lorna steps in, covered in dust and loose, light colored clothing minus a sunhat.

She looks around at the decorations in obvious confusion. "What, wasn't it not Christmas in here a second ago?" With a sigh, Lorna goes to the Bar. "Tell me you at least have my hat."

The Bar produces a hat that is covered with the same sandy dust as Lorna, and a thin layer of real dust. It also produces a peppermint hot chocolate, which Lorna sniffs with interest. "I guess it's Christmas now, whatever it was before. Alex won't mind if I have a drink. Not like he'll miss me."

Having talked herself into it, Lorna sits at the bar and enjoys her drink.

Things have gotten busier since they let Natalie back out into the field. Insurgency missions are far behind her; for the last two weeks, she's been working to disrupt a Covenant mining operation. They're making headway, but the Covenant have been settled in for a long time and they're not going to be dug out overnight.

Natalie expects her barrack when she opens the door; she hesitates slightly on the threshold, her boots crusted with snow and bright purple blood. It's the first time she's been in the bar in full armor; she moves easily enough in it that the casual observer might not realize just how much it weighs. She makes her way over to the bar, where she pops the seals on her helmet and sets it down.

"Bar, could I...can I just get some water? With ice?"

Meg, being Meg, did much of her Christmas shopping while on vacation in New York over the summer. Her fiance, on the other hand, finished his at about three o'clock this afternoon.

Meg slips into Milliways on Christmas Eve just long enough to leave three presents with Bar, earrings for Parker Lee, a framed poster for Laura, and bookends for Edward Cullen.

She receives (but does not yet open) a package in return, thanks Bar, and head back to Montreal.

She suspects she has a great deal of helping her fiance wrap all his presents waiting for her.

It isn't actually Christmas back home, but Albus has been in and out of Milliways often enough that it'd be odd not to leave a little something for his friends here.

So.

For: David Posner, Karkat Vantas, Alex Rider, Kate Barlow, the lady Viola, Lily Evans, William Evans, and (because he could never leave him out, considering) Scorpius Malfoy --

Gifts and greetings await.

Ako is sitting at a table paging through stack after stack of catalogues.

She's normally better than this, but the timelessness of Milliways was not on her side this time.

Shopping for presents: Last minute edition.

All suggestions welcome. Please!

A few gifts under the tree have telltale circuit-print wrapping paper.

Val von Doom, Clementine Johnson, Jordan Kennedy, Tyler Marlocke, Guppy Sandhu )


[OOC: If you think I've forgotten you, poke me and I'll see what I can come up with! Pups to whom Enzo would be giving gifts in person need not apply.]

It's not Christmas for Carlotta. More like mid summer. But she comes in, and heads over to the tree.

Teja, Demeter, Knox, Charlie, Huntress )

All other friends of Carlotta receive a jar of home made blackberry jam.

She sits down in front of the fire, wrapping her long coat around her, and orders a hot chocolate for before she goes back.
