[The 'Gear comes on pointing upwards and unfocused. It's safe to say that this is probably Marianne's fault

[Envy comes on the feed with his hair mussed all to one side, looking bleary and...sort of a mixture of happy and embarrassedly frowning. He's wearing the pair of earmuffs France got him around his neck, and he has a black, blue, and yellow egg in his arms wrapped in a green scarf, along with the book.] Hey. Thanks...for the presents I mean.

[AWKWARD what are emotions.] You got an egg too?

[France blinks for a moment, confused before he turns his attention to the 'Gear. His eyes light up and he grins.]

Oh! You got my gifts in time! You're very welcome! What do you think of them?

[Grin turns into a beam.]

Yes! I think it's an Eevee. What's yours? It's so pretty!

[Video]

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy gives him a grin back.] The earmuffs are going to be useful for outside, that's for sure. [And now a mischievous smirk.] And I'm going to enjoy reading the book~

[He pauses for a few moments, frowning slightly as he thinks of what to say.] Did you get yours from me?

...I have no idea what this one is, though.

[France winks playfully before reaching to the side and picking up the blue scarf from beside him and slinging it around his neck.]

I took it off for a bit earlier, but I do think it look much better on than off.

[He squints at the egg.]

I don't know either. Who knows? Maybe it'll turn out to be a whole new species and you'll be a pioneer!

[puppet_paladin]

You appear to be in a good mood. I suppose you've also received one of these eggs?

[And indeed, Cecil is holding one himself.]

[Video]

[of_france]

[France smiles, an utterly relaxed demeanor about him.]

I am. I think this is an Eevee egg. Have you found out what yours is?

[Video]

[puppet_paladin]

I didn't ask Nurse Joy. I'd like for it to be a surprise. And thank you for the journal and the chocolates. They are absolutely delicious.

[Video]

[of_france]

I hope it's an excellent surprise.

[France preens slightly, sincerely happy.]

I'm so happy you enjoy them. They were a lot of fun to make, and I thought the journal would be useful.

[[OOC: Should France have received the Fire Stone from Cecil already?]]

[Coop spotted France because - well, actually, he was looking for him. So he enters and approaches and fails to notice the mistletoe, make of that what you will.]

Merry christmas, France. I see you recieved an egg as well?

[Action]

[of_france]

[France stops singing to the egg, looking up and blinking for a moment at Cooper before his face lights up with pleasure.]

Merry Christmas to you, too, Cooper! Did you get an egg, too?

[Oh, he knows the mistletoe is there. Originally, he sat here because the spring keeps Marianne calm, but, now...]

[Action]

[blacklodged]

I did. [He had it in one of his coat pockets, so he takes it out to show it - it's green and yellow.] I wonder who gave them to us. I think it's a little too late to believe in Santa Claus, personally, but who knows in this world?

[He smiles brightly.] And thanks for the coffee grounds.

[Action]

[of_france]

[France peers closely at the egg, head tilted slightly to offset his near-sightedness.]

I don't know. Maybe... maybe it was God.

[He looks up, cheerful.]

I thought you would appreciate them! A good cup of coffee always starts the day off right.

[video]

[gochuugoku]

You got an egg too, aru?

Oh, and thank you very much for the wine and spices! [He smiles.] I just might keep them for my family only rather than using them up at the restaurant. [He laughs.]

[He's in his room at the Goldenrod pokemon center. He's still in his night clothes and his hair is untied.]

[Video]

[of_france]

Yes! I woke up this morning and it... Well, it was almost on top of my head, so it was pretty difficult to miss. Did you as well?

[France grins and winks playfully.]

I'm so glad that you liked them! They're to use as you see fit, and, really, it's best to keep the best for yourself and those precious to you.

Re: [Video]

[gochuugoku]

[He nods.] Yes, I did, aru. It was right next to me under the covers. Only, it's not brown. It's blue, has a yellow blotch at the front, and the tip is harder than rock, aru.

I agree. Also, I hope that my gift reached you safely?

[Video]

[of_france]

[France looks a bit surprised; so many different kinds of eggs! The look changes to a bright smile at the mention of the gift.]

Yes, I did get my pajamas and lingerie safe and sound. I'll always think of you when I wear them in bed.

[Action] /gives up on hiatus wut

[tiercelet]

[Practically runs into the adjoining room once he sees Francis' video]

I found an egg just now, too! Do you have any idea who they're from?

[Action] LOL whut aren't you in Japan still? XD

[of_france]

[France looks up from his contemplation of the egg, utterly puzzled.]

I have no idea. This is a pretty rare egg, too, if it really is an Eevee. I wouldn't think it would just... pop out of a convenient wormhole in Hell...
