(Day 183) Two: Holiday Festivities and the Like

((Audio;))
And there it is. The bitter wind that chills the very soul of this land. I admit, when I first arrived here I did not know if I should expect winter to come, but indeed it is here. I wonder if it will be anything like the winters back home? Of course, we'll all have our different experiences in winter, I'm sure.

I think it's only fair that I start getting to know a few people here better, perhaps an easy, foretelling question. Which of the seasons do you like best?

((Text;))
So, if I may inquire. How many of you would be interested in having a little Secret Santa going on? Or just a secret gift giving, if you're not familiar with the robust, jovial fellow in the red ensemble. I can organize it, I rather like these sort of endeavours.

All you would really need to do is drop a present off at my apartment. Odin 101. Make sure there's a note on it saying who it's for and where it needs to be delivered.
I'm no fortune teller: I can't just guess where the recipient lives.
A couple of weeks from now I'll deliver the presents myself. If there are a lot, I might need a hand, but we'll see.

Happy Holidays.

i'd be glad to lend you a hand in delivering them.
if you want.
when the time comes of course.

[John's subtle attempt to spend more time with Rose, yup.]

I would like that.
You can be first elf in line. I might need help regardless of the number.

should i get an elf hat?
that would be pretty sweet.
sorry we haven't spent much time together since i've been here.

Happy birthday to you as well.
Any plans?

What is "Santa"? If it is a secret, is it not an important one? What does it have to do with presents? [questions, questions, questions.]

Well. Do you want the long version, or the short version? ((Kadara, baby, you've been warned.))

I suppose it would depend on which I was capable understanding. There are many things that may be in the explanation that I would be further confused by!

I've always been fond of spring. But winter is interesting, as well. This will be the first one I've had away from that island in a long time.

More accustomed to tropical climates?

I remember we did discuss about something like this in the past. About events, I mean.

[ So much has been going on, and eventually she put anything related to celebrations aside. ]

I would support the idea, but I'll need some time before I decide which gifts to give out. [ She's definitey not good at giving presents. Never had to do this in a long time. ]

You'll have time, I'm sure.
I'll admit I'm not exactly great on the gift giving front either, so I understand what you mean.

That easy? And why's that?

I think I probably like winter the most. It can be cold but you can cuddle up for warmth. And then there's snow which is awesome.

Secret Santa is a cool idea.

Snow is quite awesome. I can't think of a season that provides more to work with creatively.

Then again, I've never really tried to make a leafman in autumn. A shame it didn't don on me sooner.

secret santa, huh?
i guess we could all use a little holiday cheer after all of that stuff happened...

count me in! :)

Well hopefully tragedy doesn't strike in the midst of the holiday cheer, either.
But I do agree.

I can offer a hand.
Or two.

My search for help ended up being the most popular thing about me.
I wonder if its the orchid text.

oKAY, i HAVE BEEN HEARING A LOT ABOUT THIS CHRISTMAS, aND,
i HAVE TO ASK, wHAT EXACTLY THERE IS TO CELEBRATE,
aBOUT A STRANGE ADULT HUMAN, bREAKING INTO YOUR HIVE AND LEAVING YOU THINGS,
aND, eATING YOUR EXPENSIVE COOKIES,

It's not Santa we're celebrating.
It's a young babe born some two thousand years ago that's being celebrated.
Though in more nonchristian sense, it's just a set time to celebrate family and friends.
