[MONDAY | LATE EVENING / EARLY MORNING | DEC. 10]

[mechchariotess]

I am well aware the examinations officially commence today and that for optimal conditions I should have retired some hours ago...However, I still have materials to cover so that I am fully prepared for the oncoming trials.

Also, I am unable to calculate a solution for this newly found dilemma. What to get...?

Out of...curiosity, is there anything

You guys doing a gift exchange now?

[mechchariotess]

Identity not found. Requesting further data... Excuse me, who are you?

[roaringkick]

What, are you somekind of robot or something?

Er, Ryuubashi Leora? I'm just droppin' by to say morning?

[mechchariotess]

The correct term would be "Anti-shadow tactical weapon," but you may call me Aigis.

Processing information...Identity registered. Pleasure to meet you, and good morning. Yes, we are engaging in an exchange of gifts.

[kreitzer_samuel]

Ah, you've received the secret santa, eh? Who did you get?

[mechchariotess]

Ah, Samuel-san. ...It is called Secret Santa for a reason, correct?

[kreitzer_samuel]

Yes. We are giving gifts to people like Santa Claus does, except it's done without knowing who the gift-giver is. So if I received a present and I did not know who it was, I would assume it was from my Secret Santa.

[mechchariotess]

That is correct. If I were to inform you who I had, which has a 3.5% of being yourself, you would have a greater chance of assuming who your Secret Santa is. That would defeat the purpose, is that not right?

[athousandsheets]

I forgot exams start today orz

Oh, you're doing the gift exchange as well?

[mechchariotess]

Yes. Is everyone not participating?

[athousandsheets]

I'm sure most of us are, at least.

[mechchariotess]

That is good news. I am sure this will be a pleasant experience for all of us.

Also...Elisa-san...are you in optimal condition now?

Hey Aigis, long time no see. I would say something complimentary, but you always look the same, so that would be kind of lame....

So you too are getting into the holidays too huh. I guess this time of year has an effect on a lot of people. * Its been several years since i've actually celebrated christmas. Plus, not far off is my birthday too. I guess its nice to see people getting excited this month, but i don't know, I guess I just don't care for much, though I still have to get my secret santa something. *to himself*

*shakes head* sry, dozed off there. So you're looking for input huh. I guess world peace is always a good thing, but the last thing i want is to turn on CNN and watch shaky cam footage of you in North Korea wiping out entire armies. Hmm.....this is actually a toughie for me lol.

How about you, is there something that you would like this holiday?

1/2

[mechchariotess]

If it were possible, I would attempt to fulfill your wish, Matthew-san. The methods involved however, are always debatable, and I am not certain I would be able to meet a two week deadline...

2/2

[mechchariotess]

I just wish that everyone can spend the holiday happily together.

[ph_azure]

I'll drink to that, not literally of course, but you know what I mean.

But yea things would be nice if there weren't so many major conflicts that threaten millions of people, but yea that would be hard to accomplish in 2 weeks without pissing someone off. Man I'm just running my mouth off now.

I wonder if there's going to be some sort of official celebration here at the dorm. You've been here longer than I. Got any ideas, or is that something under wraps as a surprise?

[mechchariotess]

...And what is a Dee-Ess?

[mechchariotess]

Identity registered. My name is Aigis, and no, it is my pleasure.

A video game? Do you think it would be an item well received by...anyone?
