There is a May crawling the Nexus walls. Nothing extraordinary about this, really, although the box of decorations she's carrying are new. She hums as she hangs things up around the Nexus - stockings, wreaths, mistletoe, ornaments - before leaping down to ask a question

Alexa laughs her ass off.

...I mean. Feels terribly sorry for May and... yes. "See? This will teach you to try to get in the holiday spirit!" She tries to contain her laughter, really. Really.

[webstunner]

If May wasn't so busy trying kiss help the many cute guys people caught under the mistletoe, she'd be shaking her fist at Alexa right now. As it is, though, she manages about half a shake before getting caught and crashing to the ground yet again.

[alexa_parker]

She's a giver, that one, and this time Alexa laughs so hard she doubles over... and falls to the ground, too. The laughter stops as she registers that she just got smacked with the karma LOL bus. (See what you get for making fun of family members? See where it leads?)

"...oh no. Noooo way. Noway." Yes way! Struggle as she might, there is another Spidey stuck to the floor. Alexa's face: a mixture of D: and askdfk!!!.

[webstunner]

Now it is May's turn to point and laugh! Mwahahaha, karma is just so sweet. "Gee, Alexa, if I didn't know better I'd think you might need help! How incredibly tragic. Whatever will I do."

Hey, nobody said a sisterly kiss on the cheek wouldn't work. May just has to stop laughing first.

[alexa_parker]

Karma, much like payback, is a bitch. "Oh you just shut your trap May." Despite all evidence to the contrary, Alexa still believes she can get off the floor through sheer force of will.

"-ow," she says as her face makes special friends with the floor. Again. Er, what's that about a sisterly kiss?

[webstunner]

"I see you and the floor are bonding," May chuckles. "Maybe I should just leave you two alone for a while? You never know, it might grow lips, it could save you."

Then she leans down and helps Alexa to her feet.

"If I weren't so busy salvaging my pride, I'd have a snappy comeback for you." Consider yourself lucky, missy. Alexa escapes from the insane gravity around that one spot under the mistletoe and, very carefully, scoots a few feet away from it. "Thanks. That stuff could be dangerous, you know."

[webstunner]

"Dangerous? You think? After falling this many times to save people from it, nah, I had no idea." May smiles and gives Alexa a hug and - oh, there it is, a sisterly kiss on the cheek. "It's been ages since I've seen you. Sorry to play the guilt card, but you have got to stop disappearing."

[alexa_parker]

"Seriously. It could be a terrible weapon if it falls into the wrong hands." Somehow. In a B-movie, maybe. There are also return hugs for saving her from the evil LOL! "Gah, I know, I just never have time anymore. Crazy toddlers and finishing up school and work... well, you know the drill. The Nexus ends up being a black hole that sucks away all my free time." That's free time she can spend trying to convince Kade and Rissa not to paint murals on the walls with their food!

[webstunner]

"Hey, don't joke. Weaponized love is scary." May laughs.

She shrugs, though, and sighs. "Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. Well, not exactly because oh god I am so not ready for kids, but... between school and work and crimefighting, it's just hard to find time to visit. So, aside from the required ragging on you, I do get it."

[alexa_parker]

"I'm not joking. And man, that reminds me of this thing that happened once I should totally tell you about." Straight from the girl trying to get a degree in journalism. Well, maybe newspapers in Jump City don't mind vagueness.

"No, you're not!" Now she's wagging both fingers at May! "There will be no Mayspawn until you finish college and possibly start grad school and at least get a good-paying job and find a nice guy to settle down with who isn't a jerk and is at least a 7 on the Cute Scale." That's not hypocritical at all, coming from the girl who only waited until she got that last one checked off the list before suddenly becoming a mom. (Psst, Rory's an 8.)

"Crimefighting is like having kids," she offers. "Must be ever vigilant at all hours of the day and night, clean up other people's messes and... okay, so that's where the parallels end."
