5th Problem Solved ☢ Donatello ☢ Action/Presents (backdated to Christmas)
[Guess who actually found time for presents? This guy!
He left his presents to his brothers in their rooms. For Leo, it's a series of smooth retractable poles and chains tipped with weights--both more specialized for ninjutsu training than anything he'd find in the gymnasium (and the latter are very useful as weapons and tools). For Mike, he'll ( Read more... )

Oh boy.
For some reason, one that she can't quite place, her heart flutters, but only for a moment. As quickly as it happens, it stops. O-odd. It's... probably nothing, right? She shakes off the feeling and continues on her way, attributing the awkward thing as excitement or anxiety over celebrating Christmas without her family for the first time in her life. Yeah, that had to be it.
Give her a few hours, and she'll have made a few small batches of cookies; she wasn't exactly sure what kind of cookie Don liked... if he liked them in the first place. However, she figured it would be safe to go with a variety: classic sugar, chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, and shortbread. Once the dishes and ingredients have been cleaned up, and the cookies stacked and organized into a small festive tin, she grabs her handiwork and heads over to Don's room.
She'll just... take a moment to gather her wits before she gently knocks on the door.]

But he does have Violet's present safely tucked away in his drawer.]

H-hey, I saw your note. [And click, she shuts it behind her, her eyes landing on the coffee and a frown forming on her face.]
Looks like someone hooked you up.

[He gestures her closer.] Get over here. I need to explain this to you. [And he takes out a small box from his drawer, putting it down on the desk.]

...What did you do? [Oh god, it comes with instructions; should she be scared? Regardless, she walks over anyways, holding the tin casually behind her back.]

Nothing dangerous! Unless you're secretly a robot, in which case, you might want to speak up now. [He opens the box, oblivious to the tin. There's a pretty hair barrette with a elegant metal violet fixed on it.]

...Did...you make that?

[She'll reach over to press the button; she doesn't take it quite yet, though, seeing as she can't press the button and grab with one hand at the same time. She needs the other to continue holding the tin behind her back.
At least she follows his instructions and doesn't look at it once she presses it.]

[The center shoots out a beam of incredibly strong light. It's a thin one, but it's powerful.] It's a flashlight. If you're ever in trouble, that should be strong enough to show you through anything short of a black hole.
Turn it off and close the petals on themselves. [Yep. The petals can close too.]
Reply
Poor thing's blown away. She has to shake off her amazement before she can do anything else.] O-oh, okay.
Um... [And she presses the button again and proceeds to close the petals.]
Reply
[He carefully opens up the flower again, and it just looks like a normal barrette.] You want to put it on?

Really, Don. This is amazing. I... I don't even really know what else to say.
Yeah! Er, wait... [She smiles a bit and takes hold of the barrette... this requires two hands though. Violet pulls the tin out from behind her back and holds it out for Don.]
I made you cookies. They're... nowhere near as neat or fancy or useful as this is, though. [INADEQUATE GIFT.]
Reply
He perks up massively because you are giving cookies to a teenager what do you expect] Really? Thank you, Vi! What kind?
Reply
[Once the tin's out of her hand, she'll pull some hair away from her face and pin it back with the barrette. Heee, it works well! No slippage or anything.]
Well... I wasn't sure what you liked, so I did the basics. Sugar, chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, and shortbread. Kind of the only recipes that are impossible to mess up, too.
Reply
He grins, carefully taking the tin and putting it on the desk.] Seriously? Wow, first time I won't have my bros going for them. Thanks, really!
[He opens it up, immediately munching on a chocolate chip cookie and offering Violet one.]
