[Quinn's checking in his housemates. Christmas morning has been a little weird for him - he looks suddenly much older. He'll quietly sit down next to you.]

Hey man. Hangin' in there?

[ra_ra_razputin]

I don't wanna talk about it. [That had to be the most unconvincing "I don't wanna talk about it" ever uttered.]

[techno_mancer]

Fair enough. If the town sent ya a crappy present, try not to let it bother ya too much. They just like to see us squirm, I think.

[He lights up a cigarette. He could use about 5 right now.]

[ra_ra_razputin]

I should be used to this stuff by now, but... [he hears Quinn light up a cig and looks up.] W-what happened to you?

[Annie sits down next to him. For the first time in a long time, she's not smiling. She actually looks concerned.]

... Don't like your present, Coco?

[ra_ra_razputin]

Lemme alone. [The tone of his voice does not match his attempt to give the cold shoulder, however.]

[notsaul]

... C'mere, kiddo. [She's had little brothers. She's had upset little brothers. She knows how to deal with this. She opens up her arms and smiles at him a bit.]

[For someone who wanted to be left alone, Raz sure did jump into your arms pretty fast. He's now sniffling and snorting awkwardly into your shirt. Sorry about that.]

[After resolving his own gift, someone's just been wandering around, trying to clear his head, when he notices you Raz. He tries to will himself to keep going, to ignore you...but he can't. Because in part? After talking to him after some of the crap hes gone through, he owes you one.]

...Christmas sucks, huh?

[ra_ra_razputin]

This whole place sucks.

[godisachild]

You're telling me. How'd this hellhole screw you over?

[ra_ra_razputin]

I saw, uh, something bad happen to my family.
