[Bridget smiles] The very best quilts are home-made.
Rest, doing things that you enjoy and can focus on... Making sure you stay in touch so your friends can care for you too. [Flicks his ear] Benny didn't even know you'd been away, he thought you were just busy. How long were you there before people noticed? [Shakes head] Let folk care. You have a family here.

As for memory drugs, you need to give your brain time to settle too. You can't come to terms with things if you're spaced out constantly...
Perron offers drug free counselling, and plenty folk here would listen if you need to process things. [Smiles]

[Kitchen starts smelling seriously good]

*Leo smiles up at Quetz*

Leo: You can never be to kind.

*Leo holds out her arms*

Leo: C'mon bring it in.

*Quetz smiles and allows Leo to hug his warm snout*


*Scatty watches the scene and smiles*


*Cal facepalms*
Cal: Of course! how could I be so... agh. Mia, do you mind watching the kids until Morri get's back? I forgot I have to do something.
*Mia smiles gently and shakes her head then Cal thanks her profusely and walks off to find Commissar BC*

*Rita returns the hug, smiling slightly.*
Rita: Alright then, we gonna do this shopping thing?
-----
*Mason begins drinking a ridiculous amount in the bar, pretty much has his head on the bar counter most of the time.*

----
*Jake cuddles next to Denny on the couch, and finishes his cider.*

*kisses Maiev*
Want to keep caroling? Or do something else?

[Commissar is on the sofa, watching Sam fire oversized snowflakes into the air for entertainment] [Smiles faintly]

[Kimmy perches on WK's backpack and also decorates it]

*Stands up with Rita and Gharn*
Now is a good time. Come now ducklings.

~

*Jordan nods, kisses Billy, then walks off to his room*
*Grabs the barrel, hefts it over her shoulder, and walks outside*

~

*Maiev shrugs*
M: I do have something to show you first.
*Leads Kara to the tree*

~

*Denny leans on Jake's shoulder and shivers*

*Blake chuckles at Mason*

Blake: You alright down there?

*Leo lets Quetz go*

*She turns to Scatty and smiles*

*She flicks her tongue*

Where is Perron? I'd like to speak with him. Although my very presence may be depressing.
I'll... try harder to stay in touch. It's not good if people forget about me. I want to be a friend....
*Looks distant*

*Quetz goes back to roasting meat*


*Scatty grins and blushes slightly*
Scatty: These cookies you decorated are really good, I feel almost guilty about eating them.


*Gharn nods*
Gharn: Alright. Lead the way
*Frowns at being called a duckling*

*I chuckle softly and let Kimmy decorate to her hearts content*
We got the next great decorator here I see.

*Rita rolls her eyes.*
Rita: Let's go then miss "index finger."
*Smiles to herself, and follows along.*
----

*Jake wraps his arms around Denny.*
Jake: Are you... okay?
*Jake feels stupid for asking the question.*

[Bridget shakes head] I don't know, he's not really made an appearance today. I'm sure he'd see you when he's around.

And you are a friend, Verdai. It's not something you have to warnwith good behaviour like a scorecard. [Smiles again]

[Yarrick drops onto a nearby sofa] [Is promptly decorated] Asdfssgdhfhdfghhh. [Spits glitter]

*Looks back*
Index finger? W-
*Suddenly goes red(with veil up), and drops it*
...Nevermind...

~

*Denny nods*
D: I'm fine. Christmas miracle that we're together again, isn't it?

*Leo chuckles*

Leo: Don't worry about it. I got a book full of drawings... I did drawings while I waited for the transport to get us to the spots where the monsters needed hunting.

*Slightly relaxed*
*Nods thoughtfully*
I just realized, I have done nothing to progress that extradimensional counter project. And yet... I don't want to, at the moment. Everyone is being happy, and I want to join them.

OOC:
I'm off to bed, since I don't know who'll be online when tomorrow, I'll just say it now: Happy holidays to all of you, may your present stacks be gigantic!

*Rita smiles, and pokes Izriel's back.*
Rita: Just a joke... sorry to embarrass you..
*She holds her giggles in.*

---
*Jake nods back.*
Jake: Good to hear, and... yeah... really is a miracle.
*He shrugs.*
Jake: As my father would say.. "That is the way of Ka."

OOC: Happy Holidays Wk.

*Gharn frowns*
Gharn: I still don't understand it...


*Morri, Mia and the kids go sledding*


*Cal finds Commissar BC*
Cal: I forgot to mention, the vat grown is done. I can transplant it whenever you like, but if you'll be a bit... loopy, for a few hours after the surgery


*Scatty looks interested*
Scatty: Really? You drew them?


OOC: Screw that, it's Merry fething Christmas !

*Blushes really hard, and leads the way to Orkmart*
*Still thinking of gift for Gharn*

~

*Denny nods, but still doesn't smile*
D: I think I know what you're talking about.

*nods and follows after her*
What is it?

*Gets NPCed for the celebration*

*Leo nods*

Leo: You get a really good view when they try and eat you.

*Leo smiles*

*Rita follows Izriel, still smiling slightly.*
*Rt walks up, and follows Rita all the way to Orkmart.*

---
Jake: Yeah.. well I'm glad.. took me awhile to understand what he meant.
*Jake smiles at Denny.*
Jake: But.. I'm starting to understand what he was talking about too..

*Gharn stares around the store, jaw slackened*
Gharn: Woah....


*Scatty nods*
Scatty: I could imagine. Could I see it some time?


*Billy follows Jordan*

*Leo goes a bit pink*

Leo: Sure.

*Leo's tail twitches*

Leo: Ow...

*Maiev leads Kara to the tree, crouches and pulls out a little wrapped prezzie(looks like a knife)*
M: Love you Kara. Merry Christmas.
*Hands it to her*
*It's a Night Elven dagger, which is curvy and very sleek looking*
*Attached to the hilt is a picture of Maiev with a fake beard*

~

*Izriel just looks up at Orkmart*
That's nice.
*Continues walking*

~

*Jordan starts setting up the keg*

It was me in the forum with the lead pipe.

*Scatty frowns*
Scatty: Hey, you okay?


*Gharn follows Izriel, still staring around in awe*

[Commissar looks up] Who isn't gonna be piss drunk by nightfall anyway? Let's get this done. [Smiles and follows Cal]

[Sam raises an eyebrow and continues firing snowflakes]
