attempt number eighteen ♻ (video) (backdated to christmas)
[ claire's sitting cross-legged on the bed of her crappy motel room, hair in a messy ponytail because, fuck the world, in patzcuaro, mexico it is still 75 even on christmas and it's stuffy in that tiny motel room. it should be noted that there are little chili pepper lights wrapped around the bed's metal headboard behind her.
look. she loves christmas and will not be held down by her illegal status. ]
Not that I'm really in a position to criticize Christmas gifts, but how exactly am I supposed to take these? [ she holds up a set of car keys, raising an eyebrow. ] In case there was any confusion, I wasn't lucky enough to bring my car when I picked up and abandoned my friends and family to flee the country, and these don't seem to open anything in the lot. Or the pony tied up at the saloon.
[ spoiler: there is no pony tied up at the saloon. she shrugs and drops the keys away, sitting back some and grabbing the teddy bear beside her to put in her lap. she looks down at it after a minute, because honestly the gesture's kind of a second nature thing for a girl with her collection of teddy bears, then back at the camera. ]
While I'm at it, though, if you catch this post, Emo, I wanted to say thanks. I hope everyone got the presents I sent out. It's not exactly an exact art.
[ooc; WATCH AS I HANDWAVE HOW PEOPLE GOT PRESENTS FROM CLAIRE. Barely anyone gets them anyway since she's ... on the run in Mexico surviving on money hustled from fratboys. :| But, Tony gets an excellent sombrero and Emo gets a bottle of tequila. Peter will ... be cooked for at some point as per their conversation. Jack Harkness and Ianto get couple-gifted because as far as Claire is concerned, they live together. They get a set of weird Mexican coffee/tea mixes. Zuko gets one of those dancing, talking saguaros with sunglasses and a santa hat and Minatsuki gets a snowglobe with cactus inside. :) Enjoy. None of it was wrapped, she lives a hard fugitive life.]
