*stands up stumbles and falls back onto sofa*

Oh yeah hic.... Ice cream.

I'm comfey. Ooh blue tau fishy, or Santa, fishy Santa!

I'm not drunk....

*picks up Jhe*
Come on, let's get you back to your tank before you do something you'll regret
*dodges drunken punch*
*waves to Jhe's tank and it lets me in*
*sets Jhe down on a couch inside the tank and covers her up with a blanket*
*leaves the tank and leans against the hull*
And now we wait.

I'm sure you'll like it, lots of history to it! Nothing too lethal, either.

*mumbles to no one*

Boring, I wanted ice cream.... Ice cream, chocolate fishy Santa....
Guardsman funny, im not drunk!

*pokes head back in*
You're drunk Sister, believe me, I've seen enough drunkards during my time in the Guard, I know what it looks like.
*closes and locks the hatch*

*mumbles but not hered outside and goes to sleep*
Comfey blanket, sleeeeeeepy....sleeee

[Opens Verviedi's box] ! A Solar Auxilia officers hat? Crikey, that must be older than most things in the room, if not the sector. Also very pretty.

[Puts commissar hat on Kimmy, and tries hat on] [Gives thumbs up]

Ooc: Took a random guess as both BC and Verviedi seem to like snappy dressing. Sorry if I got it wrong!

[Looks at Co'tor's frisbee shaped present] Is it a book? It's a book. [Parcel beeps] ...Not a book. [Carefully unwrap and frees it] Hello!

OOC: I had the general idea of super old hat, not exactly what type though. A SA hat is PERFECT for BC.

*pokes Co'tor's present with rifle butt, it beeps at me*
Yep, definitely a drone of some sort.

[Drone beeps indignantly] One with auditory sensors, it seems.

[Kimmy picks up a spare purple present ribbon and puts it on top of the drone as it takes off]
Take that off! [Attempts to remove it, and the drone beeps frantically] Okay okay...
Well that was sensible for all of ten minutes. [Laughs]

Yep. I'm going to the bar to drown the bad memories, anyone want to go with me?
*looks around*

[Stands up] I think Verviedi says there was food? We could bring the bar to the table. [Looks for a trolley]

*Looks expectantly at BC and the drone*
What kind of drone is that? Never seen it before.

[Drone putters over and inspects BC, then Verviedi before beeping and scattering confetti over both]

A very silly one. [Tosses balled up paper at it, which deflects neatly away] With defense tech.

I'm going to go run by the store, anyone have any grocery requests?
*holding the keys to the Salamander*

Smokes and lemonade, I guess. [Tosses WK a small wallet]

*a weak shpout from tank*

Asprin, double strength fast acting asprin!

[Tidies up spare paper and mess] [Wheels a variety of drinks over to dining table, and sits Kimmy up with a chair, and the Daemonette at another]
Verviedi... Did you say there were foods that we shouldn't eat? [Confused]

Alright, is that all the gifts?
*Looks around*
Drone should be in that guide, take a look while I go light all 272 candles.
Instead of an age, I just put a question mark made out of 7 candles on each cake. 6 cakes a table... 6 tables. Should work well.
Oh, not any more. I was just worrying about one specific cake interacting poorly with the Guardsman's exorcism.

[Flicks through guide] I don't see it. Though it could be because it doesn't want to sit still. [Drone circles Verviedi and then the light fittings, before whizzing around the table]

*Drone abruptly stops, and begins vibrating in midair*
Oh, for feth's sake. Calm down, dammit.

Alright. I'll be back in 45 minutes.
*hops in the Salamander and drives off*

I have an idea. [Tosses lighter to drone]
[Drone skims along table, lighting dozens of candles on single pass, a streamer, and Verviedi's sleeve]

I had an idea.

*steps out tank slowly*

Whens WK back with the asprin,
*slumps on a sofa*

*drives back in with several ork corpses draped across the hood and blood splatters everywhere*
*gets out*
So, it turns out there's an Ork WAAAAAGGGHHH going on a few miles away. I had to drive through it to get to the grocery store. Thank goodness for that pintle mounted heavy flamer!

My apologies, commisar. I forgot to give you my gift.

*hands BC a box covered in moss and vines for wrapping*

I got tired of using your gue'la paper for wrapping.

[Looks intrigued] I could plant the wrapping afterward, it's very eco friendly.

[Opens lid] You're going to have to help me out here, what is it?

*a massive gift is dropped in centre of room wrapped in elk skin, bear furs and kraken Hyde formed into various wolf, butter and cubist patterns*

From space wolf, busy, asked us to deliver....
*delivery staff walk off with aching backs *

Why, it's a necklace I made. I acquired the gemstone from Pech, had a very skilled Kroot Shaman bless it with the Mark of the Favoured Child. It will help block blows that would be fatal, and marks you as an ally of the Kroot. In other words, if you find some backwater Kroot mercenary in your travels, he should think twice before stabbing you in the back.

I figured getting you a Krootox would have been a bit much to take care of, let alone a Knarloc. So, I got you something without maintenance issues.

*begins unloading groceries*
Asprin for Sister Maria
Butter for BC...
Unidentifiable meat for the Kroot....
Random circuitry for Verviedi......
Cookies for Kimmy.... chocolate chip as requested.....
MRE's for me......
*pauses*
*to 2BJ1*
You want these ork corpses? They're a bit singed from the Heavy Flamer that I used to burn through the mob.
