Thirteenth ~ Video **Secret Santa Idea!**

[controllingluck]

[The video comes on with Himawari seated at her kitchen table, some books open, some papers here and there. She’s taking a break, fiddling with the NV controls before sitting back and looking amused, prideful]Hello Network! I was talking with a few people at school about a game called Secret Santa and thought that perhaps some of us here might

Why is it a secret?

[voice]

[controllingluck]

Well... I think that's part of the game. You don't know who has your name or what they might get you. The person you shop for has no idea you have their name also. It's a really big surprise in the end. Sometimes the person says who they are and sometimes they don't tell at all.

[voice]

[linkthismemory]

But what if you don't know the person? How do you know what to get them?

[....Says the girl having present trouble with her friends.]

[voice]

[controllingluck]

That's part of the fun, I think! You can try talking to the person over the network, or in person. Try to be sly or even talk to their friends! Say, perhaps you got my name... Oh, I'm Himawari, by the way.

Ah, but yes... perhaps you get my name and you don't know me that well. You could ask on the network if anyone knows me and what I might like.

[A pause, one can tell she's smiling as she speaks] I've actually been doing this in class. I've learned a lot about a few people I didn't know before.

[chisonooggi]

You give them presents even if you don't know them?

[video]

[controllingluck]

[Smiles to the video and nods] Yes! Just a small gift and just for fun. Perhaps you can try to find out about the person or get to know them before hand! For class... I've been finding out a bit about a few people now and it's really... well, a lot of fun.

[chisonooggi]

Um, well, I don't really know anything about Christmas, or the present thing, but I think that it sounds kind of nice!

[video]

[controllingluck]

Yeah, I realize a lot of people here might not know about Christmas... but it's all over this city and I think the game could just be fun to get to know people.

If I were to try and organize this pretty soon would you and your friends like to take part perhaps? The more people the better, but it can be done with a hand full too.

[yay_us]

I'll help! That sounds like a good idea! I bet a lot of people will enjoy it.

[controllingluck]

Oh good, I hope so! I was thinking of getting a Network flier going so that everyone might see it and consider joining. Right now it's a bit word of mouth and who ever will see this. I also wonder if anyone would like an exchange party... or if that's asking too much...

[yay_us]

I'll spread the word! [Thumbs up]

Hmmm something like that might be fun! I might know juuust the place to host it. But I have to ask my friends first.

[controllingluck]

Wonderful! [She looks much less fidgety now. At least some people don't think it's a dumb idea...]

[Ah, but that made her blink, head tilted] Really? I was also thinking over places we might be able to use for free. So far all I could come up with is the Lobby floor meeting hall of the Tower Apartments, but I'm still... hunting ideas. If you have an idea that might work out though, let me know!

[nurserabbit]

Ah! That sounds like a fantastic idea!

[controllingluck]

Doesn't it? I'm thinking of sending out an invitation to those of us on the network and see how many would be willing to join.

Video

[nurserabbit]

Awesome! I'm sure this'll be great! I'll totally be willing to join if I'm invited.

[controllingluck]

Of course you're invited. The more the merrier. I heard about it in class yesterday and already having a lot of fun with it so it got me thinking. So far, I think even if it's just a few of us I might try to get this going.

[Oh these KH failkids]

I thought there was only supposed to be one Santa.

[controllingluck]

[It's okay kids, we'll teach you <3]

There is only one, really. Or there could be many if you look at different stories and fables, but this is just a game that barrows the name of Santa. It's for fun.

[pullsheavendown]

Oh. Another Christmas tradition?

[HE HAS TO START WRITING THEM DOWN.]

I guess that could be kind of fun.

[controllingluck]

Another? What other ones have you heard? Though I admit there seem to be a lot of them. It's a fun holiday.

I think I might send out a network flier soon. So keep an eye out, but I think I will try to get this to work.
