Community Event 3: Happy Holidays!

[itsabelle]

Okay, okay, she got volunteers this time. She kind of had to in order to get the lights, tinsel, and various decorations up and around the room. Yes, that massive tree and all the ornaments were not possible to get up by the small dog alone. Not only that, but she asked everyone in Future Foundation, Hope's Army, and other friends to contribute an ornament to this tree.

"It looks great! Now, get that table over there! Oh, make sure the presents are under the tree... not that under! That table goes next to the tree for the Secret Santa gifts. Perfect!"

Bells jingling, she walked over to inspect the food. Looked great with turkey with stuffing, ham, and cinnamon baked apples, but she encouraged people to bring food from home too. For her, she paused at the fruitcake, tail wagging. This was her contribution after learning humans didn't like fruitcake for some reason; she was determined to make one everyone would like. Drinks of coffee, hot chocolate, non-alcoholic cider, and eggnog, she was going to keep this family-friendly... mostly. Again, she tried to accommodate for everyone.

Music? Check. Tables? Check. Laptop to contact Kalos? Check check. Looking up and at several areas in the room, mistletoe was a check. With a smile and nod, she hopped over to the doors and opened them.

"Happy Holidays everyone! Enjoy yourselves!"

[OOC: As said, have fun! Gonna post a few optional thread, but feel free to make your own.]

Maaayyyybe I could come help?

[SO SUE HIM, HE'S CURIOUS.]

I mean, I dunno what I could do, given that I literally don't know what goes on inside a real life educational establishment, but I'm definitely the dumbest one out of my friends back home so I could at least offer empathetic moral support.

[mopocalypse]

You actually want to try studying for school? It's just memorizing stuff and not really understanding it. I learned more in murderschool.

[callbacks]

Well, like.

[Oh my gosh is he embarrassed about being sort of interested in a normal kid life? Dave.]

I could help you study, is what I was thinking. I'm not sure learning modern Japanese history or whatever's gonna help me out too much living in fairy Pokéworld, but I can, I dunno. Hold flashcards. ...Help with English. ...Stuff.

[mopocalypse]

[Haruka grins.] Of course! If it sounds fun, I'm not gonna stop anyone from having fun! Besides, Onee-chan probably wants to talk more about physics and multiple-world theories like she does when I have any of you guys over. I think she wishes she worked here.

[callbacks]

If she actually likes listening to me ramble about that stuff, maybe she should work here. Christ knows one person ought to actually understand how that shit works, not looking at you, Speedwagon.

[Is poor Tyrone even here, someone cut that poor intern some slack.]

[mopocalypse]

Yahaha. I guess I'll bring it up to her. Although she'd make me do paperwork more often...

[callbacks]

You could always text me for help, I'd distract her with more superstring theory bullshit.

[mopocalypse]

You really do think of everything. That's our Dave-kun! A true hero saving us all from work.

[callbacks]

That's a mission statement I can get behind. Though y'all are not getting me in spandex.

[mopocalypse]

Okay, no spandex! Only fun clothes. Which I guess can be anything, but.

[callbacks]

So you sure you don't mind me coming over to help? Like, I don't want to distract you or anything before an exam.

[mopocalypse]

Of course it's fine! You're, like, one of my best friends. Okay, there are probably sixteen of those, but you're all best, I can't pick any.

[callbacks]

Hahaha. Okay, cool. We'll check our calendars, make a date. Signed sincerely, Best Friend Number Twelve.

[mopocalypse]

Ehe. Merry Christmas, Dave-kun. Thanks for the presents, too.

[callbacks]

Yeah. Thank you for yours, too. ...I know it's hard to tell with me sometimes, but I was being completely one hundred percent sincere, I fuckin' love them.

[mopocalypse]

Really, really? Even the messed-up scarf?

[callbacks]

Especially the scarf. Come on, Harks, what do you take me for? I'm a goddamn connoisseur of fashion, everyone knows this, how could I not appreciate your workmanship.

[This young man wore the same set of pajamas for three years on end.]

[mopocalypse]

Okay! But if you actually want to keep warm, you might want to use one of Ryouji-kun's or Meri-Meri's. Someone who knows what they're doing.

[callbacks]

[!]

Oh my god, Harks. I have an important question.

Does your place have a kotatsu.

[mopocalypse]

My dorm doesn't, but my parents' house does... are you gonna camp out or what?

[callbacks]

Kotatsus are the height of human innovation and any culture that doesn't have them is puny and weak and also yes. That's a thing I'm going to do.

[mopocalypse]

I knew you liked the heat, but this is amazing. I don't see why not!

[callbacks]

Yessss. This is gonna be the best study party ever. Of all time.
