[This is dated to a more sane hour of the day, for the record, on the 24th

So, Nina was out in the woods most of the last while, and lurking most of the rest of the time. That said, today, she felt like integrating into the town again and taking a look around, particularly in light of the fact there was a slight buzz about some statue

[ your friendly neighborhood frenemy is out and about, nina-gone-greg. buffy has overloaded her arms with packages that she must now take home and wrap. feel free to not help her. or to help her and lull her into a false sense of something. or just actually be so counter-productive as to throw things at her. ]

[Option C sounds really appealing for a moment, but her act as Greg comes first. He's too helpful to let her do that. As such, he marches on over and takes the topmost package out of her arms, smiling]

Hey there, let me help.

[ a smile as the help is offered. ] Thanks -- sometimes I feel like I need like three extra arms.

[action]

[compos_mentis]

Here, lemme take some of those. [And her plucks one or two more, getting them under his arms with a grin] And trust me, I know whacha mean.

[ a grateful smile. ] Thanks.

No problem. [And... there. Boxes done] Where do with these?

[action]

[slaying]

House seven. [ she nods her head in the direction. ] Gotta take them home and wrap them.

Gotcha. Can't say I know the holiday here, but there does seem t'be a buzz going on.

[action]

[slaying]

Christmas. It's...wow, it's kind of a toughy to explain. There's a lot involved.

[action]

[compos_mentis]

No doubt. Usually there's plenty to say about any holiday.

[action]

[slaying]

There's a whole gift exchange. And decorating. And Christmas baking but I'm not quite that ambitious.

[action]

[compos_mentis]

[A light hum there as he considers it] Gift exchange, huh? Little trinkets of affection?

[action]

[slaying]

Or big ones, depending on the amount of affection.

Well, that's one more for the "glad the missus ain't here" category. Haven't seen any moving vans here.

[action]

[slaying]

Haven't seen any vans at all. Definite boo to the lack of vehicular transport -- especially when it's cold.

I dunno, all the walking's exercise, at least. Not like the place we're in is all that big.
