Rockin' Around The Charlie Brown Christmas Tree [OPEN]

[itsjustamike.livejournal.com]

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!]

"Why yes I did Riku! I had to fly all the way out into space after all!" Maes made sure to keep his voice a tad deeper than how he usually talked, even though he knew that Riku was on to him. He hadn't expected Riku to appreciate this, Riku was like Edward in that regard. But, at least Riku was being nice enough to play along.

Still, he DID have a present for Riku. He winked, "Since you've been so helpful on the SoL, I thought I'd bring you a little gift for the holidays." He brought his bag around and pulled out a gift-wrapped package with Riku's name written on the tag, "Here you go, Riku! Merry Christmas!"

"Sometime I'd love to hear how you made it here in a vacuum. But I know you got stuff to do right now." Riku made sure to leave Maes a way out so he didn't have to respond to that little jab.

He gave the man an inquisitive look, honestly not having expected a thing. Accepting the package, he leaned back against a table and unwrapped it. The moment he peered into the box, a smile spread over his face and he chuckled. "Thanks," he said with an appreciative nod. "Haven't played this for a long time." He pulled out a dart, looking at it with a bit of a nostalgic look.

"Too bad I can't really cook. I'd've at least made you cookies."

Maes wasn't thrown off by Riku's sarcastic questioning either. He just grinned and replied, patting Riku on the shoulder (perhaps hitting him a little harder than he should have but it was his own revenge for Riku's line of questioning), "Magic of course. But that's not important, now, is it?"

He had figured the gift would go over well. Riku seemed the type to enjoy a game like that: easy to set up, play, and with a slight competitive streak to the game inherent in its design.

"That's all right. There's PLEN~TY of cookies here at the party and Ms. Claus won't be too happy if I put on too much weight. HO Ho ho."
