Forty-First Fire ~ Alessa Gillespie ~ [Video] [backdated a couple hours]

[hurtandscared]

[Hey, guys. Have you noticed how you haven't since this kid at all since reset?

Well, that's because she's been dead asleep the whole time. She's a growing girl, after all, and growing girls need their sleep.

So her hair's tousled everywhere, the pants and shirt she passed out in are wrinkled, and she's hugging a stuffed rabbit tight.]How long

Twenty-sixth, and they're already here.

So I'm guessing you slept for a day and a half.

[Video]

[hurtandscared]

A day and a half? Really? I didn't know that could happen...

Well, is there anyone interesting this month?

[Video]

[grouchinleather]

[Shrugs.] They've done it in movies all the time.

...My husband's here. [Sort of stopped paying attention after that.]

[Video]

[hurtandscared]

Well, I guess, but movies aren't supposed to be real...

Oh. [She considers having a religious objection to that, but considering she's been the adopted daughter of a gay couple for nearly a year...] I'm not sure if that's good or bad. [On one hand, you're together, and on the other, he's in a torture facility now.]

[kingroadie]

There are new people, here, you missed the influx this time, kiddo.

How you feelin'?

[hurtandscared]

Really groggy, but Deathbringer isn't talking to me anymore, so I'm guessing I'm better now. I'm just happy I can sleep again.

What about you?

[kingroadie]

I think everyone's happy they can sleep again. [He gives a small snort back.] I know after I caught your father wanderin' round I dragged his ass back to bed and went to sleep.

M'good. Got somethin' for you. [Darn holiday's, it means GIFT GIVING time.]

[hurtandscared]

He tried walking around yesterday? Yeah, good that you brought him back.

[She hesitates, averting her eyes and shuffling. Heathen holiday = bad. Gifts from Daddy = good.

SHE CANNOT COMPROMISE THESE TWO THINGS.] I'm not sure if I should.

[notaspeedyhobo]

Mornin' kiddo, you missed Santa. Better check and see if he left you anything.

[He's smiling a little and oh, look at that, there's suddenly something in front of your door, Alessa. A kind of lopsided, hand sewn patchwork stuffed animal and a stocking with her name on it filled with dried fruit and a bit of candy. It's not much, but Tommy tries.] Merry Christmas.

[video / action]

[hurtandscared]

Christmas...? [She's really hesitant to actually go outside and check, mostly because she knows that her willpower will completely cave if she's gotten a present and she'll be off celebrating the heathen holiday with everyone else.] I'm... not sure if I should...

[But oh, she wants to.]

[video]

[notaspeedyhobo]

Why not? Even if you don't celebrate Christmas, just consider it a 'happy holidays, we're all alive' present. [Smiling still. He will still try and make you happy for this holiday bbchild :C]

[video]

[hurtandscared]

[Hmmmm...] If it's not for Christmas...

[She creeps out of her room, and then looks down to see the presents.

And her face lights up like a Christmas tree.]

[truepsychictale]

Good morning.

[hurtandscared]

Morning, Papa. Did you sleep well? [She's probably going to pass out again soon enough.]

[truepsychictale]

I took a quick nap. [And made sure to deliver you some small gifties.] I will probably go back to sleep soon. What about you?

[hurtandscared]

[She hasn't noticed the gifts because she's been trying to avoid the heathen holiday think thankyouverymuch.] Better than I'm used to. I don't think I dreamed that much. I was really tired.

[ecto_biologist]

Welcome back to the land of consciousness, Alessa.

It's the 26th, and new people are already arriving! It's a bit of a madhouse already, hahah.

[hurtandscared]

[She scrubs her face before giving John a little smile. You always cheer her up, John.] Yeah, I heard. I'm surprised anyone woke up by yesterday.

Do you know anyone who came in?
