THREE ♠ video | action to Gryffindors [backdated to the 25th]

[gurenpiloting]

[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

[reloved]

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?

[gurenpiloting]

[The smile on her face grows slightly bigger.]

I hope your day has been well so far, Lelouch.

[gurenpiloting]

It's been okay so far. Nothing too exciting other than wrapping all these presents.

[She gestures at the gift she's hugging.]

[alkahestry]

Did you get something from home too, Kallen?

[His voice rises up from behind the back of the chair as he approaches. There's a bright red cloak draped over his shoulder and two still wrapped gifts held carefully in his hands.]

[gurenpiloting]

I sure did!

[She lifts up the key in view as a smile appears on her face. Then she raises an eyebrow at the bright red cloak.]

Just a little memento from my old job.

[alkahestry]

It's beautiful...

[He remarks as he leans against the back of the chair, reaching out the tips of his fingers briefly run along the edge of the key's wing shaped edges.]

A good luck charm?

[gurenpiloting]

It is...

[It's even more beautiful with the realization that Lelouch gave it to her. A light shrug.]

Sort of. It's actually the key to a powerful Knightmare Frame that I own.

[Suzy is hanging out in the Slytherin dorms for the day, so there's a lot of silver and green in the background. Though, what's more noticeable is the expression on his face. Is he actually seeing what he thinks he's seeing?]

Is that... the...?

[Yes, he notices the rather easily identifiable key to your Knightmare.]

[video forever]

[gurenpiloting]

[Meanwhile on Kallen's end, she blinks at the sudden silver and green in the background. Either Suzaku got secretly resorted to Slytherin (an amusing thought, but not likely), or...

She jabs a finger at the screen.]

Why are you over there?

[She quickly glances at the key, then she raises an eyebrow.]

What about it?

[zeros_requiem]

[He's going to ignore the first question. It's not terribly important. He's still focused on that key, and the potential implications of her having it.]

Did the Gurren show up with it?

[You'd think he would have least heard some buzz over a Bright Red Knightmare Frame appearing out of nowhere for Christmas. Still, its a relatively logical possibility.]

[gurenpiloting]

Answer my questions first.

[Okay, only the first one, but still. Stubborn Kallen is stubborn, and it shows in the way she crosses her arms over her chest, one hand toying with the key. If only said bright red Knightmare Frame did show up at Hogwarts, then she would be flying herself (and Lelouch) out of school and into the sunset by now.]

[paopuisms]

[ Sora may not have gotten much, but he sure as heck is running around the common room all kinds of hyper and wearing a santa hat ]

Merry Christmas!!

[gurenpiloting]

[Oh, hey, another Gryffindor that she hasn't seen before. Awkwardly, she greets the boy in the Santa hat with a wave.]

Um, thanks. Merry Christmas to you, too.

[paopuisms]

So what'd you get from Santa?

[ he grins and gets a little closer so he doesn't have to talk too loudly ]

[gurenpiloting]

This.

[She lifts the key a little so that's in view.]

It's something from back home.
