Around the dorms, Tuesday Afternoon

[sonofdragons.livejournal.com]

As Santa brushed crumbs from his fingers, he realized with growing panic that he had less than twelve hours to deliver presents. He walked quickly* towards the dorms and down to the basement, where he packed up his bag and slung it over his shoulder, ready to deliver gifts to the good boys and girls of Fandom.



*Santa never ran. It was undignified.



[ooc: Tannim thinks he's Santa. He's not wearing a costume, just walking around with a bag of "toys" and trying to get into all the rooms. If you want him to get into your room, please tag into the post with your room number and whether it's occupied when Santa arrives. You're also welcome to run into him in the hallways.

[ETA: It's afternoon when he's running around the dorms, but his delusional mind thinks it's later at night.]

Room 405. I know Billy will not be there.

Room 405

Santa entered Room 405 without drawing attention. He was a bit saddened to see that the children had not left their stockings out, but he had brought additional stockings.

On Billy's bed, he left a fuzzy green sock filled with pages 43-67 of an old algebra book. On the other bed, he left a worn, formerly white sock with a box of dried old makeup (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kohl_(cosmetics)) stuffed inside it.

Room 408 should be empty :)

Room 408

[sonofdragons.livejournal.com]

Santa slipped quietly into room 408. No stockings had been hung, so he pulled out two of his spares, stuffed gifts into them and left one on each pillow.

Room 408 now had a dusty, worn sock stuffed with a faded book on the New York World Fair, 1964/1965 on one bed (http://www.nywf64.com/). Another dusty, worn, yet entirely unmatching sock sat on the other bed, containing an algebra book from 1936. If anyone opened it up, they would realize that pages 43-67 had been torn out.

Room 208

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt was studying his notes for Hunting.

Santa entered room 208 with his bag slung over his shoulder. He was surprised to see the boy still awake, but he did love meeting children. "Ho, ho, ho!" he said. "Have you been a good boy this year?"

Room 508

Annette is nursing a bloody nose.

Re: Room 508

"Ho, ho, ho," Santa said, when he spotted the little girl waiting up for him. He frowned when he saw the blood. "My goodness, dear, are you all right?"

Room 422

[notawitch.livejournal.com]

Will's in there (http://notawitch.livejournal.com/5139.html), studying. Either there or here is fine.

Room 222

[surferboy-09er.livejournal.com]

Dick was on his bed and talking on the phone with his brother.

Re: Room 222

[sonofdragons.livejournal.com]

"Ho, ho, ho!" Santa said, when he saw little Dick waiting up for him.

Room 314

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

Conner was lying on his bed, engrossed in a furious message board debate over last night's Relic Hunters Adventure Squad.

He was steadfastly maintaining that it was totally not out of the ordinary for the Red Ranger to have a crisis of confidence and try to quit, and trying very hard not to betray too much of his personal indignation over the fact that he still thought O'Reilly had stolen his schtick.

Re: Room 314

[sonofdragons.livejournal.com]

"Merry Christmas!" Santa exclaimed when he entered Conner's room.

Room 326

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Alanna was at her desk, working. Faithful was taking a nap on the bed.

Re: Room 326

[sonofdragons.livejournal.com]

"Ho, ho, ho!" Santa said cheerfully when he entered the room and spotted Alanna.

Room #411

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

Mac's not in her room as mun is about to go sleep, so the only thing that might notice a sneaky santa is the goldfish.

Re: Room #411

[sonofdragons.livejournal.com]

Santa gave a friendly wave to the goldfish as he placed Mac's gift on the bed. It was a bit too large for a proper stocking, so he simply left it, wrapped, on the pillow.

When Mac returns to her room, she will find a faded raincoat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mackintosh) gift-wrapped in the yellowed newsprint of the April 14, 1987 New York Times.

Room 502/4/6

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia was flopped on her bed, flipping through her dream journal.

Furrball was perched on her head.

Re: Room 502/4/6

[sonofdragons.livejournal.com]

Santa snuck into the room and tried to leave a pair of roller skates next to Nadia's bed. (Santa didn't appear to notice that the wheels of the skates were nearly rusted off.)

Room 514

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka's at work, and the room is empty. Mostly. Momo Jr. is hanging out in his cage, and there's a huge chunk of chocolate leaning against the wall.

Re: Room 514

[sonofdragons.livejournal.com]

Santa left Sokka a lovely (albeit well-used) egg-beater, stuffed inside a lacy purple sock.

509

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

The room? She is empty as her mun shamelessly mods the roommate.

Santa may or may not notice indications that one of the inhabitants of said room did not celebrate Christmas.

Re: 509

[sonofdragons.livejournal.com]

Santa believed everyone should celebrate Christmas. So maybe he was a little elf-centered. He meant well.

He left a film can (http://www.archive.org/details/DuckandC1951) in a large brown sock on Willow's bed. He left another film can (http://www.archive.org/details/isforAto1953) on Marie's bed. This one was stuffed into a grungy argyle sock. The film can strained the sock's limits and looked about to rip open.

Room 304

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori was rummaging through her closet, wondering what she was going to wear tomorrow, for her first day of work. She was both excited and nervous about tomorrow's shift.

Re: Room 304

[sonofdragons.livejournal.com]

Santa slipped into the room, bag over his shoulder. "Ho, ho, ho!" he said, when he spotted Tori. "Merry Christmas!"

Room 234

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker's lying down, nursing a headache, and watching Esme frolic with her stuffed bunny.

Re: Room 234

[sonofdragons.livejournal.com]

Santa slipped into the room as quietly as he could, though his bag rattled somewhat.

Room 210

[otherside-miley.livejournal.com]

Miley is napping on her bed.

Re: Room 210

[sonofdragons.livejournal.com]

Santa slipped into the room to leave gifts. He set a green wool sock next to Miley's bed. The sock contained faded paperback copy of Come Love, Come Hope (http://www.thirzajane.com/ib/catalogue/comelovecomehope.html).

On Turtle's bed he set a yellow sock that was stuffed with Monopoly money. There were also a few "Community Chest" cards and loose game pieces from Monopoly, Clue, Sorry and Candyland mixed in.

Room 316

[ihatedenmark.livejournal.com]

Hamlet is out brooding somewhere. The room is empty, but unlocked.

Re: Room 316

[sonofdragons.livejournal.com]

Santa slipped into the room, his bag slung over his shoulder. On Hamlet's bed, he placed a grey sock with a copy of Fair Prisoner (http://www.thirzajane.com/ib/catalogue/fairprisoner.html) stuffed inside it. On the other bed, he left a white tube sock with a copy of One Day, My Love (http://www.thirzajane.com/ib/catalogue/onedaymylove.html) inside.
