christmas time is here again

[superoptimistic]

[There is a sign pointing towards the ballroom, which has been decked out for Christmas. There is a tree waiting to be decorated. There is a table with cookies and a Christmas cake and snacks and things. There is a buffet line for dinner and a bar set up with champagne and eggnog and various drinks - alcoholic and non-alcoholic. There are paper

Secret Santa Exchange

[superoptimistic]

[oliverplus]

[relieved] Yeah? I hope so!

Dino

[bonnypiperlad]

[Jamie sets down a slender rectangular box with Dino's name on it. Inside is a very nicely crafted dirk - much like his own - along with a leather sheath bearing the likeness of a stallion. The mane of the stallion has been done in such a way that it looks like it is made out of flames.]

Re: Dino

[Dino is impressed when he opens the box, and gives a low whistle as he carefully takes it out. He does grin when he sees the design on the sheath, and runs a finger over it.] Now this will be handy to have around.

[bonnypiperlad]

Aye. The Doctor thought I should get ye one of those gift card-things, but I thought that would be better. You'll not go wrong with a good blade by your side.

[Not that he thinks Dino will need it, with that fire-stallion of his - but it may indeed be a handy thing to have around.]

Kilgarrah

[flawless_genius]

[Firesong has very carefully carried his gift to the appointed place. It's a set of three rather large, brightly glowing crystals that have a few silver wires wrapped artistically around them. The light coming from the crystal has a faint golden tint, and is bright enough to read by. They are also floating an inch or so off the ground and currently are held together by an elaborately tied red ribbon that has been decorated with several of Aya's iridescent white feathers.]

Data

[buckingbronco]

[Dino carefully brings over brightly wrapped box bearing a tag that reads 'Data' on it. Carefully nestled inside the box is an antique clock .]

Sawako

[shunofandromeda]

[Shun comes over, rather nervously carrying a little box that reads 'Sawako' on the tag. Inside, there are several rather pretty hair pins

Donna~

[boxtheotaku]

[Box doesn't have a box. Pun intended. No, he has a bigger festive bag actually. In it are a lot of things, so he almost feels like Santa. Since he didn't have an idea of what to get for the girl he had never seen before, he asked the DEEP members about it. It resulted that he ended up with a lot of presents to give: a can of energy drinks from Akira, pair of white 'nekomimi' with bells (for the occasion) from Daruma, Izumi suggested a 16Gbyte pendrive too. In pink. So it's in the bag too, and Taiko threw in a music box playing the music of this. Yes that is an ero-game's opening. While Box's suggestion was soap, shampoo and shower creme from LUSH, so he put those in the bag too.]

M-maybe I should have stuck with the original idea... [Which was tonnes of oden.]

[forever_noble]

[Donna is surprised to see a big bag set aside for; she'd been expecting something small like a gift card or something similar, but she has to remind herself that this isn't your ordinary exchange either. thoughts of that are quickly swept from her mind when she peers into the bag and starts pulling out the myriad of gifts, a wide and amused grin on her face] What is... Blimey, look at all these!

[she glances around after putting the nekomimi ears on her head and begins to laugh] Did you do all this?

[boxtheotaku]

[Insert some intense staring here, because Box just can't... not stare. He kinda recognizes Donna from the book of hell when they had to do the choices, but it didn't show her other abilities, such as his 'big heart'.]

D-Daruma- one of my friends had made those e-ears, a-and we just collected the rest, and uh I hope you have a Merry- Merry Christmas--! A-are you Miss Donna?

[forever_noble]

[she still smiles and softens her voice] Happy Christmas to you, too! And you can just call me Donna. What's your name?

[boxtheotaku]

Donna. [Repeats, then takes a moment to realize what he said.] I mean your name is Donna! My name is Box, yes, and uh, Merry Christmas did I say it already? Merry Christmas and, and-- they look good on you an d I hope you like them. [Edging a bit away.]

[forever_noble]

[she arches an eyebrow slightly, wondering what's gotten into him] Erm, thanks, but...are you all right?

[boxtheotaku]

I'm completely fine! [Bit higher tone than necessary.] I h-hope you will enjoy your presents, and uh... yes. I hope. Yes.

Kate

[superoptimistic]

[A gift bag is placed down with this hand-made pillow inside and Kate's name on the outside of the bag. Sawako stands nearby, nervous and eager to see Kate open it.]
