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!]

"All right." Sora shrugged, and took another drink. He didn't see what was wrong with the punch, anyway.

Some games were also starting to sound good for Sora, although he wasn't sure what all was available here. That and he was feeling a little...excited, all of a sudden! Not his usual kind of excitement...it was hard to explain.

But meanwhile, he was still curious about talking to Roxas, at least on happier subjects. "Oh! What'd Santa bring you?" Since he'd been here for Christmas, after all, Santa couldn't have forgotten Roxas!

Roxas had almost totally forgotten about the gift he'd found when he woke up that morning.

"Er... I didn't open it yet." Which was true. Though he had given it a shake to try to find out what was in it. That hadn't been very informative, though.

"Whaaat? Why not?" Sora said, a bit incredulous. Come on, even if Roxas had never had his own Christmas before (which he wasn't sure on either), he should at least have known about the basics! "You gotta open your presents first thing in the morning! That's part of the fun!"

Roxas shrugged. He hadn't really thought it was that big of a deal. He'd also had other things on his mind, but he wasn't going to mention that to Sora.

"I didn't think it was that big of a deal..."

If Roxas had other things on his mind, Sora wasn't really picking up on them at the moment.

"It's Christmas! It only comes once a year! Come on, get into the spirit of it!" Sora said, feeling more and more spirited himself.

Roxas really wasn't feeling particularly spirited at the moment and he didn't miss that Sora seemed to be getting more into it.

"Um, Sora... maybe not everyone is that into it."

Actually, he was starting to worry that maybe there was something in the punch, given that this seemed like a new level of excitable even for Sora.

"Well...then open them when the party's over!" Sora insisted. Really, it was presents! Why would you want to wait to open presents, especially Christmas ones? Whether or not anyone was 'into it' was beside the point...it was a gift! Nobodies could be weird sometimes.

Okay, this was getting... odd. He knew Sora was like a little kid about stuff like this, but really? Roxas was starting to think something was wrong.

"Sora, you're startin' to freak me out a little. Are you okay?"

"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.

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."

"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!"

"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.

"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!"

Roxas wasn't thinking alcohol was the issue. That, as far as he knew, had a distinctive odor. He was thinking more along the lines of other things that could be put into punch that could cause problems. Magic or not, there were a lot of possibilities.

"Sora, you're... really acting kind of weird." He was trying to sound stern, but anyone actually paying attention would realize he also sounded worried. Boy, did he wish he'd caught Sora before he'd gotten into the punch.

"Weird how?" It was Christmas, and Christmas just made him happy! All this bright color and all the people! Man, he hadn't felt this excited in awhile. He just wanted to do everything!

Sora glanced around the deck, a huge grin on his face. All of a sudden, singing sounded like a real good idea. Or just performing. It was too bad Donald and Goofy weren't here, because they'd be all for joining in! He turned back to Roxas. "Roxas! What Christmas carols do you know?"

"Not like yourself, in some ways," Roxas replied. Even if it wasn't majorly different, Sora behavior wasn't right. He wasn't sure how to bring up that Sora's response about the present, acting as if Roxas had done something wrong when he said he hadn't opened it yet. And maybe now wasn't a good time to try to discuss it anyway.

Of course, then Roxas was completely thrown off by the question of Christmas carols, "What? No, I don't know any Christmas carols."

Sora did not seem to catch onto what Roxas was trying to imply. He let out another burst of laughter. "Of course I'm me! Who else would I be? I am 100% me!"

He then suddenly began to run through a gamut of Christmas carols. "None? Come on, there's Jingle Bells, and Deck the Halls, and Rudolph, and Santa Claus is Comin' To Town, and and--oh, WAIT!" He suddenly interrupted himself. "I know what we need!" With that, Sora prepared to run off to some unknown destination.

"Wha- Hey!" Caught off guard, Roxas missed his chance to catch Sora before he ran off, and so had to follow him, "Sora! What are you doing?"

"Gonna go get the perfect costume!" Sora called back with an ear-to-ear grin, and then picked up speed towards the end of the deck.

Thus far, Aqua had mostly spent her time on the outermost fringes of the party. True, it was a very nice party, but she wasn't really the sort for partying. There had never really been much call for it at home, and she was quite content to simply use the time to catch up with her friends. The books she'd found waiting for her could wait.

All the same, she didn't expect to find herself being all but barreled over by a runaway keybearer. Even if was a party she wouldn't have expected anyone to get quite that rowdy, and she stumbled back a few steps in an attempt to keep from falling head over heels.

This was ridiculous and whoever had fiddled with that punch was going to pay for it if Roxas found out who they were. But, at the moment, he could really only go for damage control... hopefully.

When Sora almost bowled over Aqua, Roxas realized this was just plain getting out of hand and that, really, he was going to need some help. Maybe...

"Aah! Grab him!" he called out, "Someone screwed around with the punch and he had some!"

"Hi Aqua! Bye Aqua!" Sora only gave Aqua a brief greeting as he nearly ran into her. "I'll be back in just a sec!"

It was practically a race now as far as Sora was concerned. They wanted to grab him? They'd have to catch up! He had way too much energy and things to do now to just sit and listen!

Aqua might not have had access to the spells she might have once used to offer even a slight advantage, but even without them, she was no slouch at races. As long as Sora wasn't as fast as Ven she was pretty sure she'd do alright, and almost as soon as Roxas had spoken up she was off.

She wasn't quite sure what was going on, but last she'd spoken to Sora he hadn't struck as being quite this... excitable, for lack of a better term.

Roxas would explain as much as he could as soon as they caught Sora. In the meantime, he was wondering where Sora could be headed given that he'd said something about a costume. If he knew his way around well enough, Roxas would have headed to the most likely place to try to head him off, but there was no such luck right now.

Hopefully, whatever had gotten into Sora wouldn't lead to any fighting, but maybe that concern was better left to when they caught him...

Fortunately for Aqua, he wasn't quite as fast as Ven. Unfortunately for her, Sora was still running pretty fast. But fortunately again for her, since the party was so crowded, Sora was having trouble weaving through people without bumping into them. While he got close to the stairs, he was stopped by a group of friends in a cluster, chatting with each other. A bit of slipping around by the wall, and he was then just a few steps from the stairs...
