audio; forward dated two days so i'm not posting on Christmas Eve :U

[ Jade's voice is chipper but seriously congested; she has apparently contracted the Cold from Hell, and she is absolutely aware of how ridiculous she sounds. For the record, she is also abjectly miserable. Girl didn't catch a lot of illnesses on an island all by herself growing up. ]

I lost my bracelet, in case anyone was wondering where I went. [ She sniffles severely. ] I don't think Draco told anyone, so I promise I haven't been ignoring anyone, I've just been a little indisposed.

But the decorations that are up now are nice! And- [ She sniffles again, whines softly. ] -and if anyone wants some nice winter flowers or anything like that, let me know, I'm afraid my powers are starting to get a little rusty.

[ She ends the feed, then starts it almost immediately again: ]

And what the hell are you supposed to make your nose unstuffy? This is hard to breathe and it fucking sucks. [ Jade swallows, begins to speak again, sneezes hard, and just ends the feed entirely. ]

...that's the sort of sinister thing people ask before they take whatever you name away.

I wanna celebrate Christmas.

- oh. That. Sorry - I forgot about that. What's... appropriate to say? Or do?

Gift-giving, usually, is customary.

[ The deadpannest of them all - ]

...gift-giving.

Yep. I gotta get you a present.

...let's skip that.

Hahaha. Why?

You can't receive a gift without giving one back, so...

[ She snorts a laugh, then pays for it by coughing.. >( ]

If anyone can, Shinji, it's you.

Wha - I wouldn't - why would I be capable of - I don't do that sort of thing!

So you'd be okay with exchanging gifts?

I'd be more okay with neither giving, nor receiving.

What if I gave you a gift but didn't put my name on it? You could pretend you didn't know it was me.

What kind of person do you take me for?

Hehe. You know, Shinji? I really have no idea.

...I'll get you a present when I have more money. Let's leave it until then.

[ Oh, now she feels bad. She hadn't realized money was the issue. ]

I have two jobs, Shinji. I want to buy people things. You don't have to get me something in return.

What sort of man accepts that kind of arrangement?

Let me give you a really nice plant.

I don't like them.

... oh.

[ She lapses into silence, then coughs a little bit again. ]

Okay, okay. I'll just give something extra to Kaworu.

...what's that got to do with me?

I'll give him two. It'll make me feel better about not giving you any.

Stop putting me in the same category as that person. That's - insulting. We're nothing alike.
