[crabbycustomer]

Christmas morning finds Karkat... asleep in a cocoon stuffed with slime. But Christmas afternoon finds Karkat sitting at the bar, staring with an expression of fixed intensity at his gifts. Tyler got him a little diorama of paper crabs, and Albus got him a sack of Wizarding treats.

The reason for his enormous frown, other than the usual, is that Karkat is not used to thinking of himself as embedded in cultural gifting matrixes. Trolls don't often give personal presents, except as a sign of cooperation between two people who are in cahoots. It is a different dynamic; if Tyler needed help with something, Karkat would help him to the extent that it was not a personal hazard, since they are friends. But he does not know what to do about Christmas presents, and he is frankly thankful he only has two. It would be unthinkable not to retaliate.

Albus is easy; in return, he gets the sack of black licorice scotty dogs, which Karkat is happy to give up in exchange for the Wizarding treats. Tyler will take more thought. Karkat's sentiment glands are woefully underdeveloped, but what little pathos fluid he has is concentrated around the subject of crabs. He has set up the army of paper crabs on the bar to stare at him while he tries to think.

[not_his_pa]

William comes in with his arms full of small packages and a smile, he's not sure how long he can stay but he wants to drop these off.

( Thalia Grace, Miss Mary Bennet, Albus, Scorpius, Teja, Katya, Kate Barlow, Dan Evans, Ben Wade, Urquhart, Miss Dixie Cousins, Ellen Park, Adrian Shephard )

Once all the gifts and notes are taken care of, William smiles and drinks some coffee. He doesn't have a lot time today but he'll steal a minute here or there. Also he wasn't expecting the gifts he got and is soon reading the Mark Twain.

(OOC: Here and enjoying lazy time after Christmas. Don't look too close at the edits as I forgot people that William wouldn't.)

Christmas gifts!

[visible_sariel]

At some point during the day, Sariel hurries through the front door with an armload of packages. They're left under the tree* for Captain Kirk, Dale Harding, River Tam, Tanya Adams, Teller, Turanga Leela, Will Scarlett and Yrael. Then the ensign's off again.

*Or with Bar, if there isn't any tree

((OOC: Gift post! This one's not open for threading, say sorry, though reaction tags are fine with me.))

Holiday Party!

[guppy_sandhu]

It's party time!

With the merge of the main bar party and the Life Support party, the bar and outside area is a hive of merry activity. Mike and Guppy have been busy setting up, and it's now in full swing.

Holiday party!
Free Food and Drinks!
Life Support session to run after lunch

Come one come all!

[ooc: Party post! Main bar party has merged with Life Support holiday party. Open to everyone, open forever, all tags on the Life Support thread will be picked up by at least one member of the LS crew. Happy Holidays :D]

[claudiometer]

Claudia wasn't expecting a present; the fact that she got one, while technically a good thing, is just driving home the point that she isn't home. Can't go home. Possibly can't go home even if her door does show up again any time today.
(And she hasn't been able to check her email in over a week.)
She's sitting at a table, looking at the schematics Tyler gave her and half keeping an eye out for... some kind of distraction, whether it comes in person or on T-Minus (repositoryBadger).

[ostro_goth]

Teja is sitting by the fireplace with the guitar he bought in New Orleans, with Yrael, when he was but new to this place, and plays a kind of Christmas song from a book -- about a Yule cat, no less, and in a language remarkably similar to what the Gotlanders' neighbours spoke in his time.

His own little black Yule cat -- remarkably like the Jólakötturinn of the song, only less angry and dangerous -- is sleeping in an impossible position (as cats will), half on the back of the couch, half on Teja's shoulder, completely ignoring the end of the guitar quite close to her sensitive ears.

Beside him, on the table, there is a basket of assorted food as well as several soft toys and a frighteningly colourful piece of knitted clothing.

The toys, he will take through to his people's children soon, together with the song.

What he will do with the knitted Christmas jumper, he has no idea.
