[Hurricane is taking down the holiday decorations, poking around the dorm with a box to put them in. He is very thoroughly wrapped in a blanket and is shivering]

[As you do]

Hey, anyone got any extra decorations they want to stick in the box? I figure we can keep em all together for next year.

[420blazeit]

[ she steps out of her room with a cat on her arms and a peacock on her shoulder. ] I think most of them had been out here, so you probably got them all, but I think that's a great idea. Might as well keep them all together in a big ol' box, so they're easier to find and stuff.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah, I was thinking like some kinda holiday box or something, and then we can just get it out again for next winter.

[420blazeit]

Sounds like a plan to me. I think the party was a huge success, and having people make their own ornaments was awesome. Now we'll always have a little bit of everybody with us.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Who all ended up doing em?

[420blazeit]

[ lists off a bunch of people that had attended the party and opted in making ornaments~! ] Not bad, huh?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Dude, sweet. Super not bad.

[420blazeit]

Not bad at all.

...so what have you been up to?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Checking out the game today, mostly.

[420blazeit]

I had no idea there had been a game. How'd it go for you guys? Someone told me it hadn't been that bad.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah, just kinda a word game with status effects.

[420blazeit]

...so another not-so-bad game. Like, I'm glad it hadn't been anything horrible, but also... I'm kind of just waiting for them to drop a bomb on us, since you know it's inevitable at this point. [ sighs, combing her fingers through her hair. ] But I shouldn't ruin the mood with this sort of stupid talk.

What'cha wanna do this evening?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Who, me?

I still got Eichi's party.

Gotta clean up here, make some pudding to bring over, wrap his present, hen I'm gonna hit the slopes some before I head over.

[adorabilities]

There are other decorations?

... And are you okay? You look-- uh, well, cold?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Pretty sure some people got some holiday stuff in fanmail, so I wasn't sure if anyone wanted to stick those in, too.

I'm good. Just kina cold, yeah.

[adorabilities]

Oh, I just get letters. Sometimes... nice? Drawings?

[and then a beat,]

Did something happen?

[crossmyheartandhope]

What, like - to the decorations?

[adorabilities]

I mean, just... there was a game, right?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Oh - yeah. It wasn't anything too bad, though. Just like some kinda word game.

[adorabilities]

Oh. Words.



Words aren't so bad at least.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah, coulda been way worse.

There was some booze with weird effects, but nothing too bad.

[adorabilities]

Whew. Okay, so no need to, uh, worry.

Well, okay.

Do you want help putting stuff away?

And-- what other holidays are there?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Sure, if you wanna help out.

Holidays, like, coming up?

Think the next one's Valentine's Day.

[adorabilities]

What's that one about?

[crossmyheartandhope]

If you got a sweetheart, you do nice stuff for em. Get em flowers and chocolates or whatever.

Some people do it for friends, too, but mostly it's a lovey-dovey thing.
