Big green rig in the Nexus.

[random_xtras]

No, it's not a Transformer. There's a slender, dark-haired Christmas elf sitting on the back bumper, keeping watch over her cargo and waiting for those it's meant for.

So, does anybody want a Christmas present?

((Same story as every year. You can OOC request something for your character, but there will be nothing racy or harmful in the truck

Well, one present he'd like is a premature end to this LOL of his... Anyway, he heads up, a little curious about all this.

[random_xtras]

Holly turns her head to look at the vampire, her green eyes quizzical.

"Faye Townsend. Twenty two year old female. Largely good. But don't get too close. I'll probably be uncomfortable for you."

[likes_exploring]

"Uh, hi..." Well, Faye isn't too surprised that the elf knows his name. Of course, he doesn't get too close if it might be a problem for him.

"I'll assume you probably have something for me...?"

[random_xtras]

"Mmmhmmm." She smiles as the stack of gifts in the trailer shifts and moves, then picks up the red cotton bag that is pushed forward and tosses it gently so that Faye can catch it. Inside is a big fluffy red sweater something like Holly's, only without the sparkles, and a book of difficult sudoku puzzles.

The large mech approaches, conversing quietly with someone over his comms. "Right...I'll see what I can do...Just meet me back home..."

[random_xtras]

Holly sees him coming and smiles as the gifts begin to shift.

[wakejumper]

WakeJumper finishes conversing with Eclipse, before carefully kneeling down so he's closer to Holly's level. "You wouldn't happen to have a toy truck that a four-foot tall sparkling could play with, would you? Lumen's really got his spark set on a toy truck that resembles Ironhide..." WakeJumper smiles a little.

[random_xtras]

The slender elf girl chuckles. "I've got Lumen's truck. And your gift, and Eclipse and her brother's."

*The servant of Primus is out and about, and this time, she's let her smallest temple resident, the chiproach Tessera, have a ride on her shoulder.

...or, that's where she was. Auspex blinks as the quick little Decepticon is suddenly skittering off that way. She hurries to follow her: anti-violence field or not, she's not sure Tessera won't get lost.*

[random_xtras]

"Tessera." Holly goes to her knees to talk to the tiny creature, her smile wide as she says. "You've been very good this year."

Tessera babbles joyfully, antennae waving. And then she turns and scoots back toward her friend. "Auspex!"

"Yes." Holly looks up at the white femme. "Auspex. Also very good."

[primus_seeress]

*Auspex's brow furrows slightly as she approaches. What sort of organic is this? A clairvoyant?* Er... do we have a mutual acquaintance, or do you receive your knowledge esoterically? *she's not distrustful, but somewhat wary, all the same*

[random_xtras]

The Christmas elf gets to her feet, the light of the sign picking sparkles out of her large red sweater as the gifts in the truck behind her shift and move around. "I get it from my Master."

"Oooooo!" Tessera zips up Auspex's leg, chirping all the way.

[maserati_sniper]

With a swish and a flash, Desinex appears, looking quite sheepish as she arrives. "Er...WakeJumper insisted that Showtime and I come here...Show's gotta tuck in her 'nephew'...she'll be by later..."

[random_xtras]

Holly chuckles and holds up a bag, in which something is padded with polishing cloths to disguise its outlines. "Desinex. You've been good this year."

There's a big blue boombox in that package. The polishing cloths, and a handful of energon goodies of a similar flavor to the Cybertron Sunrises.

There's also a smaller bag in it that's addressed to a young free spark named Jabez.

[maserati_sniper]

Desinex smiles a little, nodding as she accepts the bag. "Thanks..." She examines the contents of the bag, before looking up, "Any idea where I'd be able to find Jabez?"

Her attention goes to the appearance of Showtime, who looks quite pleased with herself.

[random_xtras]

Holly shakes her head. "You'll have to keep an eye out for her."

Then she turns and gives Showtime a stern look before listing her name and the entire year's worth of misdemeanors.

[redpsychic]

*The huge blob thinks. He's already asked for a bucket of chicken wings. What else should he ask for? Well, other than the obvious "permanently reviving Kaori," which he'll never get.*

I'll have...a slab of barbecue ribs!

*MORE meat? Well, it IS hard to come by in his new home...*

[random_xtras]

"Sorry," says Holly kindly. "You can't make requests. If your gift is here it's been chosen for you months ago."

[redpsychic]

Oh...mmph. *Tetsuo expresses his displeasure and embarrassment by puffing a little. He can't think of anyone who would get him something. Except maybe Akira...and he'd be afraid to see what Akira considered a "present." He's still curious, though.*

By any chance...there's nothing in there for a "Tetsuo Shima" is there? *He cranes his neck a bit.*

((OOC: Baked porkchops for the blob, please! It's close to ribs, anyway.))

[random_xtras]

"There is." She pats a huge, flattish red bag that looks about as big as she is. "I can't lift it, though."

((How about Bronto chops baked with mushroom sauce... and a lump of coal?))
