Hey, I appreciate all the little candies and whatever that I've been getting chucked at me for Christmas. I never really do nothing special, since I don't have any family and it's tough celebrating when my boos are who-knows-where. But if anybody actually likes candy canes, I was bored and left some hanging around random doors. If you want one and

Those were you?

[manticorean]

Yeah. Figured that putting my name on them wouldn't clear things up, since I haven't met a whole lotta people anyway.

This would be the pot calling the kettle black

[haruhifujioka]

Maybe you could get out more.

Pots and kettles seem to do a lot of name-calling.

[manticorean]

Yeah, I should. Keep holding out hope that I'll be getting back soon, so I won't need to go out and mingle. Doesn't seem to be happening.

[skylessrain]

Oh, there you are. Here I was thinking you were going to hide until the holiday ended.

[manticorean]

Nah, I'm no Scrooge. I'm just not exactly Mrs. Claus, either. Hope you had a good holiday, even if it sounds like this place wasn't letting people have a "silent night" or nothing.

Those little candy cane guys are pretty extreme! Thanks for making them!

I have something for you for Christmas.

[manticorean]

Glad ya like 'em, Ryohei.

Really? Aw, you didn't have to do that.

[kyokugen_sun]

Well we're friends, and I've learned an extreme amount from you!

[manticorean]

That's really sweet. So when do I track you down for my present, or am I gonna wait until we meet up for practice?

[Reid found a candy cane on his doorknob. In fact it's the candy cane that he's currently eating. He wanders up on the roof to say thank you and hello mostly because he doesn't have much else to do and he hasn't met Max yet.]

Th-thanks for the candy.

[Max is sitting on a blanket, staring out into the night with a half-completed "reindeer" in her hands. She snaps out of it when she hears Reid approaching, smiling up at him when she sees him with the candy cane.]

Not a prob. There's more laying around if you want; knock yourself out.

Re: action;

[yes_imagenius]

O-okay.

[He pauses a moment, considering whether she wants to be left alone or not.]

Wh-where did you learn to make them? The reindeer.

[She shrugs, adjusting the antlers on the one she's working on.]

Saw a picture of them once in a book. It wasn't that hard to memorize the pattern, so they were the first thing I thought of when I found pipe cleaners.

[She looks at him a bit mischievously.]

Hey, think fast or Rudolph gets a broken neck.

[With that, she tosses the candy cane at Reid, taking care not to throw it too hard or otherwise make it an impossible catch.]

Dean is strange.

[viva_la_impala]

That's so freakin cute I never would have suspected you if you hadn't said something. Dammit, those googly eyes are staring at me so soppily that I just can't eat him, especially since he's a quadraplegic, or just a head. Either way it feels heartless to suck on him till he snaps.

I'll just have to let him lie on this convenient flat surface and mock me with his deliciousness.

Yeah, but we knew that.

[manticorean]

Well, if you're gonna anthropomorphize your candy just because I glued a pair of googly eyes on it, I can give ya one I haven't worked on yet. Just don't eat it in front of Rudolph; it might be a cousin or something.

It's Cabin Fever I tell you!

[viva_la_impala]

I'll take one you haven't worked over yet. I have something for you anyway.

Always with the excuses.

[manticorean]

... really? Well hell, I'm not gonna turn down an offer like that. Where you at?
