4th Floor Common Room [Christmas Day, Afternoon]

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

After her chat with Hurley, and coming to the conclusion there probably wasn't anything much going on for the holidays, what with hardly anyone being around... Angela took it upon herself to buy up large amounts of festive food (and drink) to supply whoever might be left around and found their way to the right common room.

It wasn't all home cooked and perfect, Angela was still an order-in sort of girl, but if it tasted alright was anyone really going to be picky?

Yes, the elf hat was completely voluntary and nothing the island had forced on her. She liked being festive, damn it!

[[wide open like an impromptu holiday party should be! SP is the name of the game, given the day and all!]]

Ender hadn't really been looking for a party, but he wasn't going to avoid one, either. When he made note of the supplies on the fourth floor, he had to duck his head in. "Making up for the mass desertion?" he guessed.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Exactly!" Angela agreed, grinning at him over her shoulder. "I knew there had to be a few of us sticking around, and nothing going on just seemed wrong."

"It's been way too quiet the last few days."

[endsthegame]

"I don't know," he said, smiling a little. "'Quiet' has its perks. But so do holiday parties."

If you wanted to be a part of the community, anyway. "So how have you been, Angela?"

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"There's peaceful, and there's too quiet," Angela decided. There was a big difference between the two in her opinion.

"But I've been really good," she said, nodding. "I mean, possibly not in the way that'll get me a stocking full of presents--" Although that depended on your opinion "--But it's been fun."

"You?"

[endsthegame]

"I think Santa always brings one or two presents if you've managed to go beyond 'completely nasty', anyway," he offered, "Although I'm not up on my Christmas lore." Ender smiled, and shrugged. "Like I said. It's been quiet. So there have been perks."

"And yet, here you are, ready to party with the rest of us," she teased. "You in the mood for food?"

Hurley wandered into the common room, wearing a santa hat and... a red and green Hawaiian shirt.

"Merry Christmas, dudes," he greeted.

[endsthegame]

"Merry Christmas," Ender returned, tipping his head in greeting.

"Hey little dude," Hurley said. "Having a good Christmas so far?"

[endsthegame]

"Better than the last few I've had," he admitted, freely. "If simply because my roommate's hard to get rid of. You?"

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Well, had a good phone call home," Hurley said. "Plus I got this shirt from my mom. Pretty good, I'd say."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Happy Christmas, sweetie!" See, she wasn't the only one who could appreciate a holiday themed outfit on a day like this, and Hurley was going to get a cheerful Christmas hug from her.

Hurley hugged her back, smiling. "May all our future Christmases be... not this cold," he joked.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I am with you there," she agreed, giving a bit of a laugh. "At least we're not out in it, right?" It was warm and cosy in here at the very least.

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, no kidding," Hurley said. "Who'd want to be out there in this, huh?"

Mirax still hardly understood Christmas, but that wasn't going to stop her from finding the party in the common room. Besides, what she'd seen of the holiday, she'd liked.

"You'll have to pay me to wear a hat," she warned anyway.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"If you don't look like a complete idiot, you're really not getting into the spirit," Angela claimed, offering her a cracker.

[futuresmuggler.livejournal.com]

"I'm pretty sure that message didn't come across in all the TV specials about it," she pointed out, taking the cracker.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"You have definitely been watching the wrong specials," she decided, shaking her head with a grin as she pulled on her end.

If luck was with her, Mirax was going to end up with a hat whether she liked it or not.

The crackers were new, too, so that was a total look of surprise on Mirax's face when it popped. "What'd I do?"

Hannibal was late late late late pinging in but couldn't resist a little slower to get in gear (special day or not) but he eventually puttered down to the common room on the hunt for some food.

And his girlfriend. But the food too. Holidays didn't mean he couldn't sleep in some and be lazy. It was a day off after all.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Good sleep?" she teased, practically bouncing her way over. There may have been a couple of eggnogs went into this extra chirpy mood of hers.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Obviously not as good as yours," he said, smiling at that bounciness. "You popped some caffeine pills or something?"

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"It's the middle of the afternoon," Angela pointed out. "I really shouldn't need caffeine pills."

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Well, no, you shouldn't," he agreed, laughing. "Us normal non perky, non bouncy, non hyper people might. You're really excited today."
