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!]

90s Kid had been sulking by the wall for most of the party. He was feeling pretty bummed about the mistletoe not working in his favor, and that was probably his only chance this year to get a kiss from a girl.

However, then Pinkie Pie arrived through the door, and as he watched her reveal the brightly-colored canon and it exploded in streamers and cookies, he immediately forgot all his troubles and his eyes went wide with excitement.

"DUUUUUDE!" he exclaimed, clamoring over to Pinkie Pie, "Where did you GET that thing?! That is AWESOME!"

"But how can you tell they look like they want to talk?" It sounded like one of those things that was more easily said than done.

She smiled at his question, though. "Roxas and I talked."

Namine's smile shifted into a sympathetic look--she was just getting used to parties herself, after all. Her question probably hadn't been the best one to ask.

She could guess at what he might be thinking, and other things he might want to ask her about, but she wasn't going to bring those up now either. They were for a less public conversation. "In my own way, I guess. It's nice seeing who's here."

She paused. "Though it might be more fun if we knew more people to talk to."

Xion nodded. "There's some I haven't seen before, too. Then again, some I have seen aren't here."

She wondered where Snowy was. The big dog would have probably had a lot of fun with everyone here.

"Sure I'm okay! I'm great! Why wouldn't I be?" Sora replied. What was to freak out about? Yeah, he was feeling a bit lighter and happier than usual. But Roxas needed to learn to lighten up himself a bit, too. As if to suddenly prove this, Sora gave a short burst of laughter.

"I'll have to try to meet some people." Midna smiled at Xion. "And it's a party; you should have fun with your friends."

Xion nodded as she considered the first two options--expected from what she knew of parties--but looked surprised at the third, her cheeks reddening slightly. "Oh! That would be nice, but I'm not sure I know how to...And wouldn't we need music?"

Not to mention Demyx had said you only danced with someone if they were special...but friends were special, right?

Sora hadn't thought much about that, either, as it usually went. He didn't know if he was good at reading emotions, or if he just took chances and hoped for the best. "Well...go up and ask them! And if they don't want to, they'll tell you or you can see right away that they look uncomfortable. But most of the time, they do wanna talk."

That was good, at least. They probably needed to talk, although what two Nobodies like them would talk about, Sora wasn't sure. After his conversation with Xion, perhaps it was better if he didn't know.

Xion was glad to have Roxas here, even if that brought up its own issues. At least having explained everything once made it easier to think she could do it again, if needed. When it came to Sora, though, she was just glad he accepted her even knowing everything they'd talked about.

In response to his question, she reached into her pocket and pulled out a silver keychain shaped like a snowflake. "Is that who this is from? I found it this morning, but there wasn't any tag."

Xion wanted to talk about some of the same things Roxas did, most likely, but didn't want to bring them up in public. Thank goodness for standard conversation small talk. She was starting to wonder if maybe she should give him some space.

"I think so. The food is good." Then she hit on something she could ask him. "But what do you think of the punch?"

Roxas might have passed it off Sora just being weird for the special occasion, but the sudden laughter gave him pause. If he been starting to think he was just being paranoid about the punch, he didn't think that anymore.

"No, you're not okay," he said, suddenly stern, "I think you've had enough of that punch. Give me the cup."

That question was a little out of the blue, but he supposed it made sense. It was definitely a better topic than things that really should be discussed at a party anyway.

"I haven't tried it and I don't I'm going to. I've heard a few too many stories about weird things people might do to it..." Especially where magic was concerned, but as far as he could tell so far, magic didn't work on this satellite. Then again, he hadn't been there very long, so who knew for sure?

Roxas gave a small smile at that. It was good she was having some fun at least.

"Hmm, yeah, it might be more fun that way," he mused, though truthfully, he thought it was okay as it was, "But this is okay too."

Xion smiled back. "I've gotten to talk to most of them."

She paused, wondering how to encourage Midna to enjoy herself without seeming rude. She didn't want to chase the other girl off, but didn't want to hold her back, either.

Yes, it was a bit out of the blue, but it was what Xion could think of that was something they could talk about here.

"I don't think I will. I've heard some stories, too." Most of them were probably the same ones Roxas remembered, and a few of those had nothing to do with magic. Which meant anybody on the satellite could try them. Not to be mean, but there were people here who would see it as a fun joke.

"It is."

Being able to talk like this with Roxas, after mostly observing for so long, would take a little getting used to, but it was nice. Companionable silence was good, too, so she let them lapse into that before asking if Roxas had met many of the others.

"That's probably for the best..." Of course, there was also the fact that Roxas had heard some of these stories from the point of view of the one who had done the tampering. In which case, it was a gleeful account of a prank well played.

At least none of the people he'd heard these stories from was present... sort of. He had his suspicions about Lea and Isa since hearing that some people had been brought from the past, but he hadn't had a chance yet to discuss it with anyone and that was something else best left out of a party anyway.

Namine mulled that over for a moment. It seemed logical, though she wouldn't want to make anyone uncomfortable or have them tell her they didn't want to talk. She'd have to think some more, maybe spend some more time watching. Then she could learn how to tell if someone wanted to talk. The idea that most people would want to was encouraging. "Thanks. I'll have to try it."

There was plenty she and Roxas--or she and Xion--could talk about, but that wasn't for now. She'd rather to handle that on her own, anyway.

"I don't see Farora here...the white wolf," Midna remarked. "But that's Perry over there. I've met him. And the D&D group."

"No, I'm totally fine!" Sora stared down at the cup with a bit of a frown...what was wrong with the punch? It tasted pretty good to him. Well, maybe Roxas wanted to try it! He was trying to get Roxas to open up a bit, right?

"What? Do you want some, too?" Sora motioned with the cup towards the table where there were still some bowls of it left. "It's pretty good!"

"Okay, good!" Sora said. It seemed strange that all of these people that had come from him and Kairi (were there really that many?) all seemed to be so shy in comparison. But he supposed there were different circumstances all around it, too.

"Oh, and what'd you get from Santa, too?"

Sora admired the gift she'd gotten...that was interesting keychain, and if it was actually useable for the Keyblade, would probably make an interesting one in turn. "Yeah, it's from Santa! He always brings gifts on Christmas!" Had she even gotten a Christmas present before? Well, if she had his memories for a time, she's probably at least remember the Christmases he'd had.

"No, I don't want any of the punch," Roxas replied, trying not to sound snippy, "But I think you've had enough of it." Obviously, Sora wasn't going to hand over the cup. Well, spilling it was better than having him drink any more of it, so Roxas made a grab for the cup, though whether he succeeded or not was entirely depended on whether or not Sora's reflexes were intact.

And so Roxas was quiet for a bit, watching people mingle and trying to see if he spotted anyone he knew.

Also, nibbling on the party snacks he'd picked up, but what else did one do when they weren't talking and had stuff to snack on?

"No I haven't! I haven't even had two cups of it!" He didn't much resist when Roxas tried to grab it out of his hands, however...it just spilled some as Roxas took it from him. Sora's frown grew a little deeper.

It wasn't like he was drunk or anything! Was he? He'd never been drunk before, but he knew from stories that that usually involved slurring your words and goofy expressions and walking around like you were about to trip. And he could talk and walk just fine, so it couldn't be that.

"Sheeeeeesh, you really gotta lighten up!"
