*to BC*
That may help! My face is really starting to hurt, the smiling is a side effect of the exorcism forcing me to be happy all the time!
*to Jhe*
If I can't have the cake then you can't either!

[Grins] Cake is awesome. Crikey, that is a lot. Maybe we should share some with the troops later.

[Kimmy arrives and starts peering intently at WK]
That's rude if he hasn't asked you to. Come here. [Gestures]
[Kimmy starts examining the gifts and lifting them telepathically] I'm fairly certain they're safe! [Amused]
[She points excitedly at the one containing a blanket] That's for sharing.

Ok, you know what? Fine. Have that specific cake if you want. I will not assume liability for any seizures, synapse explosions, or public embarassment, however.
*Gestures towards all the tables full of food and cake*
Eat them after presents I suppose. Presents before food?
BC? Is that OK?

*waves BC off*
If she wants to look into what's left of my sanity after that exorcism then let her! Maybe she can pull my mind back together....

[Kimmy walks over and starts trying to unscramble WK's mind]
[The pressure to smile lessens gradually]

[Starts carefully opening presents] ..!

Ooc: you're gonna have to help me out BSing contents here, haha. I'm half awake.

*blanket, to well, padded comfey rug set*

*looks at cake* will this armour fit after that?

You should probably open that one up first, it says "FROM: MAIL INQUISITOR VLADAMIR."
*Points*

OOC: For V, think slightly misguided gifts that he thinks BC would benefit from, but don't really work that well in application. Not sure about anyone else.

*collapses as his mind is brought back together*
Thanks Kimmy
*she nods*
I think I'll just lay here for a bit, I'll open my presents last...
Oh Emperor my head hurts now...

*Stares at WK*
Think about what you just said. Candlemas is tomorrow, today is his birthday.

*looks BC pile of things*

Inquisitor Vladimir?
Scary chap. Why would he give ypou presents?

*from the floor*
Oh leave me alone, I just had my shattered sanity brought back together by an 8 year old, I reserve the right to say whatever I dang well please.
*gets up slowly*

[Opens the official looking parcel] It's a picture of me sleeping, and a GPS tracker handset. [Slightly unnerved] The picture is very artistic. [Puts it on the wall]

[Starts opening parcel from Jhe and wraps Kimmy in the blanket] Good work, there.

*Hands BC a box covered in blank white wrapping paper*
That one's mine, hopefully you like it.
*Eyes WK*

[Opens Verviedi's gifts] A guide to recognising and befriending drones and servitors? Um, I guess that actually very handy.
A charging cable with a coupling I don't recognise... [Looks at Verviedi] You do know that humans don't have a port for this. You haven't been trying to... [Blinks and tries to remove thought]
And a copy of your Macha database. [Lifts biscuit-tin sized container full of data sticks] I'll uh, treasure it. [Mixture of horrified and impressed]

*eyes the tin*
The fact that he compiled all of those videos is impressive in of itself. There's enough of them around to fill up an entire hive cities' databanks.

Ooc: I'm being dragged around the neighbours house for social reasons. Feel free to just tell me what's in boxes or happening, I'm supposed to be paying attention to carols. :p

*looks embarrassed*

Oh feth, marla was traveling with macha for abit....
I hope you where not that perfect.

She was not the same after she met her, *looks sad*

...I wasn't the one that compiled them. They aren't mine. That was an academic initiative to test a warp-based compression system. Inserting the disks actually transmits information directly from the warp, so-
You know what, never mind.
*Nods at the identification guide*
Wrote that myself. You should find it useful.

*hands BC another gift*
*box is opened revealing a master crafted bolt pistol and power sword*
I have a good friend who's a weapon smith...

[Opens tin and holds it up] Feel free to use a few. I'm probably not going to live long enough to ever watch all of it.

[Looks at WK's gift] Is this safe?

Ooc: meant the first one, slow typing. XD

*quickly reads and removes the selected discs*

You can keep the rest, but I'm not letting you have those 2, dang, even the macha vs tomb world extended cut....

You got everyone....

*starts eating ice cream from tub to cope*
Why marla, why macha.....

[Delighted by weapons] ...They're incredible.
I'm having trouble processing the day at this point. [Grins]

[Kimmy starts making paper hats out of the paper and floating them into people's head]

...Was that the ice cream I put the warp dust in?
Anyway. Any more gifts?

No, that ice cream is over there.
*points to fridge*
Let me see.
*rummages around in rucksack and pulls out a very large box*

*looks up*
No, it was mine from my feezer, qaudruple choclate with amsac and chocolate chunks

Its coping icecream.

*slightly unsteadily hands over a small my first nail art art for kimmy*

Only 35% amsac....

There's the strangely wrapped thing from WK, which I think I'll wait until he remembers what is in it, and your white box.

[Looks a little nervous]

*looks hurt*
It's nothing bad. I promise it's not an explosive or something that will kill/maim you.
*box is opened to reveal a new battle cannon for the Butter Tank, with improved recoil compensator*

Oh, the white box? Yes, that's another of mine. I think you'll find it... Quite sentimental.
*Hands BC the white box*

...! [Holds it up for tank to see] [Tank beeps excitedly]
It wasn't that it could be harmful, I just thought the exorcist may have forced you to do it. It's Verviedi's box that concerns me slightly.

*walks in and hands BC a circular package, about the size of a dinner plate but thicker*

Here, I got you friend. It's also loaded with protection directives a mark III protections field, and chromatic plating, so it can be customized to match you.

*starts to rummage around in bag*
