Rockin' Around The Charlie Brown Christmas Tree [OPEN]

Characters: Anyone and everyone!
Content: Get your Christmas Party on!
Location: The Weapons Deck
Time of day: Evening of Christmas Day, after people have gotten presents
Warnings: None...for now...

[Since the Weapons Deck is totally empty, Mike and the Bots have taken it upon themselves to transform it for a rockin’ good Christmas Party! The Charlie Brown Tree has been safely set aside too; all decorated up. There’s a table with punch, food and way too many desserts for any group of people to handle, a bunch of Christmas decorations thanks to Rarity and her decorating crew, and even Christmas music that’s only slightly annoying!

Characters are free to come in and grab food, mingle, play games, exchange gifts or stories...whatever they want! Obviously, treat this thread as party-style.

There’s one more special note...there’s a couple bowls of punch sitting next to a big pan of Green Bean Casserole of Tranquility. Unfortunately, Crow accidentally mixed in some leftover Waters of Forgetfulness to make the punch. That water, combined with the spicy punch flavoring, has created an unusual concoction. If your characters drink some of this punch, they won’t notice anything wrong...at least yet!]

Maes saw Xion right away. He hated to see her hanging off by herself like that, especially at Christmas. He made his way to the dessert table first, gathering up some cookies and punch before heading over to Xion.

"Merry Christmas, Xion. You look a little nervous. Not used to big parties like this?"

It had taken some finagling, but Maes figured now was as good a time as any to break out his Christmas surprise for everyone. Well, okay, mostly the kids on the SoL, but he figured other people might enjoy it too. After having hung around the party for a few hours he slipped out and headed back to his room to change clothes and get his bag together. A few minutes later and Maes had on a very familiar red suit and hat with white trim. He had even stuffed a pillow into his pants to give the illusion of a round belly. The final touch was, of course, a white beard and wig that he'd taken from the costumes on the theater deck.

He headed back to the party in this get-up, a large sack stuffed with presents tossed over his shoulder. It had been difficult to get all of this together, especially since he didn't know all of the kids that well, but he was confident in making this as convincing as possible.

Maes Hughes stepped through the door and cried out, "HO HO HO! Merry Christmas, everyone!"

Sora probably should have known that Roxas would find him in person sooner or later, especially at something like a party. Even so, he was still a little bit surprised and nervous to see him here. A part of him wondered if maybe he wouldn't merge with Roxas again if they got too close...there was no telling what could happen on this ship. But as he approached, Sora didn't feel any different, and it looked like he didn't have to worry about that for now.

So he offered his best smile...he had the opportunity now to meet and talk to Roxas face to face, and that was an opportunity he couldn't waste. "Hi, Roxas!" He took another sip of his punch. "Yeah, it's pretty fun so far. I imagine it'll get crazy once Pinkie shows up..." He scanned the deck for the pink pony, then turned back to Roxas. "What do you think?"

"Hey Sora, you haven't seen Lea around, have you? I want to make sure he's not doing what I know he's going to."

Isa was still stuck in rhyme mode from earlier, but unfortunately he couldn't keep his mouth shut all the time.

Roxas thought he might have been imagining it when Sora seemed nervous, but he decided not to comment on it.

And he couldn't argue about the possibility of things getting weird when the pink pony showed up. He still wasn't sure how she'd found him so quick to give him that cupcake, though he couldn't call it a bad thing. It had been a nice gesture and a tasty cupcake.

"I think you're right," he replied, also looking around.

Sora couldn't help but grin a bit when it became clear that Isa was still stuck in rhyming mode. While this Satellite could be annoying often, sometimes it could really bring some humor, too. "No, I haven't seen Lea around. What was he going to do?" Being warned against some prank of Lea's would be useful, anyway.

Isa glared at Sora when he grinned. He certainly didn't find it funny.

"I got him a nerf gun, he's probably gonna shoot everyone when he comes through."

If Sora had been nervous before, he was getting over it now, with the assurance that things seemed to be okay with them for now. He took another drink of the punch before reaching over for a sugar cookie.

It occurred to Sora...had Roxas even ever been to a party before? Would he remember it from his own memories? That was another weird thought. "So...does this mean this is your first real party?" Somehow he couldn't imagine the Organization ever throwing parties.

Kaldur wouldn't mind the competition, especially since he had lost most of his friends that would have sparred with him. Still, he needed to make more friends before he started mourning the ones who weren't here and were back home. If the point of all this was to stay happy then that was the best way to do it.

"That is good. I received some gifts as well, though certainly nothing would be better than to see my friends again as well. It would have been our first Christmas as a team," he admitted, somewhat sadly. However, he didn't want to bring the mood down too much, "But, it is good to share this holiday with new friends as well."

"How is the punch?"

Well, considering the fact that this Satellite had a way of playing mean tricks on everyone, it probably wouldn't be long before it came back to him eventually. Not that Sora was thinking about that now.

Aaand of course Isa would somehow be indirectly responsible for whatever Lea was up to. "A nerf gun? Really?" He scoffed. "That hardly seems fair if no one else is armed."

Okay, that question kind of smacked Roxas in the head. He'd almost forgotten that this place pulled people from different points in time as well as different worlds. He had been to one party before, sort of. He'd been riding along in Sora's heart at the time and Sora didn't know yet that he was still a separate entity in there.

"Uh... in a way?" he replied, uncertain as to whether or not he even wanted to get into the timey-wimey stuff, "It's kind of complicated."

Kaldur stared in awe as the cannon was unveiled and fired onto the party. He was probably more surprised by the fact it could apparently shoot goodies than anything else, but of course he then realized it was Pinkie who was firing and suddenly it all made sense.

He approached the cake covered pony with caution. He had seen the present she had left for him and was rather touched by the fact that she had gotten him something. Christmas was not exactly a tradition in Atlantis and so it had not occurred to him to start getting gifts until he had seen some of the other gifts being exchanged.

His thoughts were interrupted when the second blast went off and several gingerbread ponies pelted Kaldur in the head. He caught one in his hand and looked down at the pony, "For someone who arrived late you certainly know how to make an entrance."

Believe me, Isa regretted giving him that thing the moment Lea opened the gift.

"It's just a toy, Sora, no one will be harmed."

Of course, Sora could never let it go that easily. He was naturally curious, and now trying to figure out what sort of party Roxas would be at. Especially since Sora had never even gotten home, and therefore hadn't had any welcome-home party yet. "Complicated how?" he asked.

It seemed like there was always a party going on around here. Not that Terra was complaining necessarily, it was just he had never been one for parties much and yet here he found himself attending one every few weeks. He walked in, eyes immediately scanning for Aqua's presence but he didn't see her at all. Terra tried not to show his disappointment that she wasn't here but reassuring himself that she would probably show up a little later. Girls always took longer to get ready anyway, right?

He sighed and headed for the food table. Surely, Pinkie Pie would have made some extra special treats for a party on this holiday. Terra's mind wandered away from delicious cookies and slices of cake, however, when he saw who else had decided to check out the food table. He had to remind himself that it was Roxas, not Ven, who stood before him and the resemblance was even more uncanny now that Terra was seeing him face to face and not just through Cambot.

He debated not saying hello at first but decided that was rude and came over anyway, "Hey, Roxas. Merry Christmas."

Of course he knew Sora wasn't going to let it drop. He was pretty sure he had already told someone that they got home... although that might have been Riku that he told... "Well, I told you where this place yanked me from, right? And that was after you got, er, get, home."

He was pretty sure that confirming for Sora that he would actually get home wasn't a problem, but he had been paying attention when Merlin had sent Sora into the past to fix a problem around Disney Castle and he had heard the wizard's warning about being tempted to interfere. Then again, maybe he was worrying too much.

Lea enjoyed the gift he received from his friend Isa. He couldn’t stop playing with it. For whatever reason he got a joy out of shooting random things with his plushy nerf bullets. As Lea snuck around the corner her spotted Roxas. He gave a mischevious grin and pulled out his nerf gun and shot a soft bullet at the back of his head. Watching it bounce off his friend, he gave a laugh, “Yo! Roxas, check it out!”

Twirling the nerf gun in his hand, Lea smirked as he let rest on his shoulder, “Pretty sweet gift huh?”

"Very. It's amazing what they managed to do with such an unwelcoming area."

MakubeX picked up a cookie. "These any good?"

"You don't have to hang around here, you know," MakubeX said as he approached.

He'd noticed her standing there, but waited for a while before going over. He had guessed that she was meeting someone. Some time later, he realized this didn't seem to be the case and decided to greet her. He knew she was quite secretive and this had to be uncomfortable.

"Well, duh," Sora said. What, did Isa really think he didn't know the difference between a toy and a real weapon? He'd certainly used enough of both of them. "But even with a toy nerf gun, it's a lot more fun if people have the chance to shoot back, too!"

"Huh? ...Ohh." Thinking it over, Sora supposed that that meant in the future he hadn't seen yet, there would be some party for when he and Riku got home. The thought reminded him that he was still rather homesick, and he was silent for a little bit before he remembered that Roxas was still there and responded to him again.

He tried to brink back up a smile. "Well then...this is still kind of your first real party!" A party where Roxas wasn't entirely bound by what he did and went, which was still another weird thought. "So you gotta try everything."

It looked like Kaldur was feeling a bit of homesickness too, which Sora could understand. Especially since some of his friends had been here, and then somehow disappeared again. He gave Kaldur a sympathetic look. "Really, your first as a team?" Perhaps the team had just been formed that past year. But then again, thinking about it... "I guess this would've only been my second with Donald and Goofy, too." At least he was getting share this one with friends old and new...and he still trusted that he'd see Kairi, Donald and Goofy again sometime, too.

"It's fine!" Sora responded. He had never been that attuned to the particularities of different kinds of punch, but at least this stuff tasted good to him. Maybe a little bit spicy... "You want a cup?"

It was safe to say that Lea was rather that Roxas wasn't eating to drinking anything when the soft projectile struck. Otherwise, he would have been more annoyed than he was.

As it was, he turned around, looking for the source of the assault. And of course, there was Lea, with the offending toy and a smirk.

"You got to be kidding me." Unfortunately, Roxas didn't have anything to throw back save for the soft dart that had just bounced off his head. However, that didn't seem like the best idea. Confiscating the ammunition, on the other hand, made far more sense. And with that thought, and a smirk of his own, Roxas pocketed the dart. If Lea didn't want to lose any more darts, it would certainly have been a wise choice not to shoot any more of them at Roxas.

Roxas wasn't quite sure if he'd expected to see Terra at this party or not, although now that he was here, Roxas was reminded that he felt kind of bad about having gotten the guy's hopes up about his friend. Still, what was done was done. The most Roxas could do to rectify it was be nice.

Though now that he saw Terra in person, something about him seemed oddly familiar. At the moment, though, Roxas couldn't place it and he wasn't going to rack wrack his brain trying.

"Oh, hey. Merry Christmas."

Trust Sora to find a silver lining somewhere. He was right. This was Roxas's first actual party that where he could mingle and talk to whoever he wanted.

Though he didn't miss the fact that something he'd said made Sora stop and think for a moment. However, if Sora didn't want to talk about it, Roxas wasn't going to pry.

"Hmm. I dunno about trying everything..." That might be a bit much, but he was planning to talk to a few people.
