itsjustagamerp | 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!]

Perry wanders into the party on all fours, eyes pointed in opposite directions. He's in stealth mode and attempting to figure out who all is here. It would be the perfect opportunity to sneak off and work on more secret hideouts around the SoL, but first he needs to make an appearance here in hopes of establishing an alibi for later.

Unfortunately, he realizes there are probably people here who could possibly blow his cover. So he keeps an eye out for them as well. He needs to make sure that Phineas finds out about none of what he has been doing on board the SoL and the more people that find out he's not as dumb as he looks, the harder that will be.

Perry huffs and flops down near the Christmas tree. Might as well watch for a little bit, see what happens around here at Christmas.

His worries were well-founded, since Phineas notices him lying there and makes his way over.

"Oh, there you are, Perry! Merry Christmas!"

We can't be sure who, but before Phineas sees Perry someone has stuck a bow on his head as if he were a Christmas Present. Perry, unfortunately, did not have time to take it off before Phineas spots him. At least Perry still maintains enough sense to not have Phineas catch him, because honestly a lot of people have spotted him already.

But, yes, Merry Christmas Phineas. You now have a platypus with a red Christmas bow on his head.

It was amazing how quickly Rarity could put together a saddlebag for herself - in festive colors, even - and small gifts for everyone, but then again, she did have experience in this sort of thing. It didn't take her long to catch sight of two of the people - well, rather, one of the people and the platypus - for whom she had gifts. "Oh, there you are!" she greeted them cheerily, trotting up to them with a smile. "Happy Hearth's Warming Eve, and merry Christmas! Now, I do have something for you..." She fished a green bow tie out of her bag and handed it to him. "There. That color should suit you perfectly, and it's festive as well.

"And as for you, Perry," After a moment of fishing, Rarity pulled a platypus-sized top hat out of her bag and placed it expertly on his head, moving the bow to his tail instead. "There! Now doesn't he look dapper? In fact, I'm thinking of making an entire line of these - a hatapus line, if you will. He does look rather fetching in a hat, don't you think?" Rarity didn't normally believe in fashion with an ulterior motive, but if she made her intentions for a hatapus line public enough, anyone who saw Perry in his fedora would simply think she'd made it. Effectively, she planned on giving him a cover story for the holiday.

"Cool, thanks!" Phineas put the tie on right away.

He watched Rarity decorating Perry as it were and grinned as soon as she was done. "Yeah, you look great, Perry! I think the hatapi are an awesome idea. I bet any kind of hat could work platypus sized! Berets, deerstalkers, pith helmets... The possibilities are endless!"

Well now, Perry CERTAINLY hadn't expected this. He couldn't help but freeze up a little when Rarity approached, clearly intent on interacting with him and Phineas. He had told her and she had agreed so what was about to happen?

And then he realized what Rarity was doing. She wasn't blowing his cover. No, she was giving him the best gift EVER. He waited until Phineas wasn't looking at him any more and winked at Rarity, but also made his typical chattering noise as a sign of his gratitude.

Not to mention, the top hat WAS quite fetching. It wouldn't replace his fedora by any means, but it was very nice and it had been a gift which made it even better.

Aww, poor little guy looks lonely. Liz scoots over closer to the tree and scritches Perry on the head.

"Hey, fella."

Perry purrs and his tail twitches up. That's a sweet spot after all.

As inconspicuous as Perry might be trying to be, Fluttershy never let a friendly creature go unappreciated in her presence. Unlike Pinkie, at least, there wasn't much fanfare, as she approached and placed a small, festive bag down by the platypus.

"Oh, I'm glad I was able to find you, Perry. I wanted to make sure you would be able to get this. Um, it's a Hearth's Warming gift! Oh--or--a Christmas gift, I'm sorry, but... and, um, I don't know if you're good at opening wrapping, so, the bag... well... just... I hope you like it."

Perry blinked, one of his eyes focusing on the pony. It was surprising how nice she was to him. Granted, all of the ponies were apparently big on this whole "being nice" thing. He rather enjoyed it and it was rather difficult not to drop the disguise and thank her for the gift. But, well, he saw Phineas was at the party and he just couldn't risk it.

Hopefully when he didn't do anything she would pick up on that fact.
