2nd Floor Common Room (midafternoon through evening)

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory was curled up on the couch, her legs tucked up beside her. She had just gotten back from Christmas shopping, and in front of her were an array of brightly-wrapped gifts.

She flipped through the channels on the TV, finally settling on A Christmas Story.

[ooc: Yes, she has presents. She has lots of presents. If I told you you're getting one from Ror? She has it with her right now unless it's one of the live ones, which are both in her room. Even if I didn't already tell you you're getting one, you might be. And in any case, she'll give you candy. So stop by! I is bored!]

Wandering in, holding a box after a string, Jake waved his cellphone at her. "Hey, coffeesister."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Hola, dear Jakey!" Rory said cheerfully. "What is new and cool in the thrilling life that is yours?"

Angela plops herself on the floor near Rory's feet. "Hey," she says cheerily. "What happened after I left last night?"

Rory blushed. "Um. Anakin showed Bridgey telekinetic stuff. And Anakin and I decided he's going to show me the flight simulator tomorrow," she said vaguely.

Cally, with Anders in tow, wanders into the the common room.

"Hey Rory, everybody!" she waves, smiling cheerfully as yesterday was the BEST TWO MONTH ANNIVERSARY EVAR.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Hi!" Rory grinned. "How are you two?"

She selected a large package wrapped in shiny purple paper as she spoke.

*DEATH, leaving the clinic to its own devices for a few hours, takes a seat on the couch next to Rory. He is wearing a Santa hat and has flashing lights on his scythe. Those that cannot see him might recognize the jolly sense of dread.*

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Hello!" Rory said to the jolly sense of dread. "I'm pretty good. I have a gift for you - actually, for the entire clinic staff, in thanks for taking care of us like, a month ago."

She reached onto the floor, and picked up a Christmas tree made of candy (http://pics.livejournal.com/rory__gilmore/pic/00007ytz/s320x320). "I don't know if you like candy, but...it's shiny."

Tired of hiding in his room, John grabs his Cyborg Theory notebook and heads down the hall. Spotting Rory in the common room surrounded by lots of things, he stops and leans in the door.

"Santa Claus looks a lot different this year."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"The beard was scratchy, and I lost weight. Also, not so much with the lap-sitting," Rory replied, deadpan. "I do have presents for you, though, if you're amenable."

John was wandering around, possibly to find Kiki, possibly to find Death, but definitly just wandering around.

"OOOh! A Christmas Story. One of my faves." He sits down on one of the couches.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Mine too," Rory smiled. "Want a candy cane?"

Having decided to take a break from all the projects he's working on, Bridge bounces into the common room.

"Hey, Rory!"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Hi Bridgey!" Rory beamed. "Where did you go off to last night?"

She shuffled around on the floor and picked up two large packages and one teeny-tiny one, all wrapped in bright green shiny paper.

Tick had been heading to Rory's room to give the final exams from his class to Rory for grading. He had come to an agreement with the exams; he wouldn't attack them with a pen and they wouldn't retaliate. He neglected to mention Rory to them. She was his secret weapon when it came to grading.

On his way, though, he spotted Rory in the common room. "Hello, Rory!" he said, brandishing the exams. "You're just the sidekick I was looking for!"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Hello sir!" Rory said. "How are you? I have a gift for you, by the way. For Christmas, I mean."

Callisto wandered into the common room. "Hey, Rory."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Hi Callisto!" Rory said cheerfully. "How are you?"

She plucked a gift wrapped in lavender from the floor.

Lee wanders in, looking for Kara and pondering why his omgwounded gf is so hard to find these days.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Lee, you look woeful," Rory noted helpfully.

In the wee small hours of the morning, Parker staggers in with a Kate Spade carry on, and a luggage cart of presents.

"You're still up?" She asks, pausing for a break at the couch.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Uh huh," Rory said, flipping absently through channels. "How was New York?"

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Parker," Callisto waved.

*Hamlet, after spending a few days brooding alone in his room, finally decides to come down after he's sure that most of the students have gone to bed. He doesn't want to talk about Tuesday. Writing book in hand, he wanders down to the second floor common room and plops down on the couch by Marty.*

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Hi Hamlet!" Rory said cheerfully. "Want a candy cane?"

[janet_fraiser]

Janet walked into the common room and waved at Rory.
