[When the Commuter turns on, it shows a familiar fiery redhead in her usual resting spot on a squashy armchair at the Gryffindor common room. Right next to her is a small stack of individually wrapped presents, each of varying size and shape, and she's idly dangling the winglike key in front of her with the attached strap in between fingers. What's

Of course we need some holiday spirit! What would any place be without Christmas? Just a dump, right?

[ Minako smiles widely over the feed, laughing. ]

[gurenpiloting]

Really, we don't have to worry about the monsters attacking this place right now.

[She laughs gently.]

Speaking of Christmas, I got something for you.

[reloved]

Maybe we'll have to worry about the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future, if you've been a real cheap guy. [ another giggle, but then she looks.. well, a little more surprised. ]

Huh? For.. me?

[gurenpiloting]

I don't know anyone who's Scrooge-like, personally.

[She nods, shrugging a little.]

Mm, I've thought of something for a few people that I know. So, why not?

[reloved]

Really? [ she leans a bit closer to the device. ] Who is it, who? I'll have to ask them if the spirits paid them a visit!

[ although at that last part.. Kallen, you just unleashed a storm of excitement. ] That's great, way too great! Ah, you're such a great friend, Kallen!

[gurenpiloting]

[She'll be ignoring her question as she moves the Commuter away a little, feeling like her ears are ringing.]

Uh... it's no problem, Minako! Anyway, where can we meet?

[reloved]

[ sorry, the enthusiasm party isn't ending anytime soon.. ]

Anywhere you want is fine! Ah, I want to see what it is now-- it is anything cool? I'm in the Hufflepuff dorms right now, so feel free to mention any spot and I'll be there! [ yes, her rambling is all over the place. ]

[gurenpiloting]

Why don't you figure that out once I hand it over to you, hmm? How about we meet by the Great Hall?

[So enthusiastic, oh my.]

[reloved]

Yes! Would right now be okay? [ Minako, don't be too hasty.. ]

I can't wait to find out what it is, I'm so excited!

[gurenpiloting]

Sure. I do have a lot of free time right now, after all.

[She waves her hand a little.]

Okay, okay! Calm down, you'll see it soon!

[reloved]

Yeah, I'll calm down alright! Hehe, see you there!

[ she's totally not calming down, considering from how quickly she's turning off her feed on the device and instead running over quickly to the Great Hall. ]

[gurenpiloting]

[Just as Kallen promised, she's at the Great Hall, sitting down at one of the long tables with a small pink box with a yellow ribbon on top. As soon as she spots Minako, the redhead waves over to her with a small smile on her face.]

Hey! You're here just in time.

[reloved]

[ Her smile widens the moment she spots Kallen - as far as that was still possible, either way - and she quickly sprints the last distance over to the other girl, flopping down on a seat across of the table from her. ]

Of course! Aino Minako never lets anyone wait!

[gurenpiloting]

Right, of course you don't.

[That's quick. Kallen gently pushes the tiny box towards Minako.]

Merry Christmas, Minako. Picking out a gift for you is surprisingly easy.

[Inside the box is a bag of assorted sweets from Honeyduke's.]

[reloved]

Of course, it's since I'm easily pleased! [ she grins, but then turns to the present - obviously looking excited. ]

Ah, this is so great, too great, a gift for me.. [ Minako quickly gets to work, opening the box, and.. ] ... How delicous..! You knew I was looking at these back then!

[gurenpiloting]

I figured you'd want more in case you didn't have enough money to buy other things.
