Who| Everyone, pretty much. Particularly Secret Santa people and those Creuntus is fucking with.
What| Holiday times!
Where| The Tribute Training center
When| The whole week, but Creuntus' gifts arrive today.
Warnings/Notes| none atm. Please add any in thread headers. Also, for secret santa, if you are the giver start a thread with your giftee's name (unless you two have worked something else out between you). You can use the District threads below, or choose a different setting of your own.

Every floor public space is dripping with holiday decorations.

The decorations are themed, ridiculously so. Every surface is covered, and a table sits proudly full of holiday treats and spirits, kept stocked constantly by the avoxes. Cheerful music plays softly throughout the whole building, though luckily for everyone the Capitol doesn't really know what Christmas carols are.

Those with secret santa's have a cheery, passive-aggressive note reminding them not to disappoint anyone and ruin their holiday.

Those that have expressed a want for some object from home will find a box on their bed sometime during the day, with a merry holiday greeting from Cruentus. Inside they will find the object of their desire, or something similar, crafted from their words.

In blown glass. Pretty, decorative, utterly useless.

Bert's guns, Punchy's goggles, Sigma's music box, Maximus' leg, Mindy's knife, Terezi's dragon cane...on and on, as many gifts as Creuntus could find out. Those that were with them when they were pulled are more perfect replicas, those that they have just described obviously have an artistic touch to them.

For Initiate - personal gift

[personal profile] pythianjudgment 2014-01-03 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
After hanging the pendant in the suite commons, Terezi stops by the Initiate's room. There's a small wrapped box in her hand, which she hides conspicuously behind her back. Inside the back is a gift that she picked out especially for him: a large ring that looks like it's made of skulls. She hopes it's not too weird, giving a piece of jewelry to a non-quadrantmate. Fraysong isn't an easy troll to shop for. The ring is shiny silver, but colorless--to purposely avoid any romantic implications.

She knocks on the door and tries not to fidget too much.

He expects someone from five. Claudia or someone or the like. His Moirail if it's a good day. When he opens the door, he doesn't expect to see her, and his surprise is almost taken by the wonder if something has gone wrong. His hand hangs on the door.

"PYROPE. What all brings a sister here to he?"

"A surprise." Terezi flashes a bit of a grin, still holding her gift behind her back.

"Do you know about the human holiday that's going on? Has anyone told you about it?"
carnagecarnival: (I'll be home safely tucked away.)

[personal profile] carnagecarnival 2014-01-21 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
His brow raises slow and suspicious. Terezi and surprise are two things he's not all certain he wants around when mixed.

"LIKE AT TO BE A TWELFTH PERIGEES OR WHATEVER THE FUCK AIN'T IT? Some sort of human naming at for it?" He asks. Like he would know. He only found out a few sweeps ago that twelfth perigees was even being a motherfucking thing. He didn't even believe it for longer. "HE'S GOT TO GATHERING A LITTLE. Why?"
pythianjudgment: ([g] and another thing)

[personal profile] pythianjudgment 2014-01-28 03:36 pm (UTC)(link)
"Because!" Terezi ducks under/squeezes past the Initiate in order to invite herself into his room. She's not doing any gift-giving while standing out in the hallway.

She turns once she's inside, and brings her hand out from behind her back, the small box displayed in her palm. "Here. I got this for you. Happy Perigee's Eve Present Holiday Thing." That is the official name for it, after all.

"I got the biggest one they had," she warns, "but if it's too small, I think they can fix that."
carnagecarnival: (I saw bright open common sense.)

She slips right past just like that and Initiate starts. He forgets for a second where he is, and the extreme oddity of letting people in where he rests. But he remembers quick enough, shakes his head, and sighs.

He turns to find her facing him again, holding out the gift. He blinks at it, looks at her, then back down, before slowly reaching out and taking it. He rubs at his neck, and says, sheepish, "AIN'T GOT ANYTHING ALL IN RETURN THOUGH..." Almost an apology.

He opens up the little box.

"It's okay. I wasn't expecting anything." Terezi says it like a pardon, but she hopes he doesn't take offense. She likes to think she understands him well enough to know what he might or might not do at this point. Gift-giving doesn't seem to be up his alley.

When he opens the box, the ring is sitting tucked into a bit of foam. It's silver and shiny, a collection of skulls wrapped in a circle. It was the only thing that she could find that really reminded her of him. Or that she should fathom him wearing at all.

"Do you like it?" she prompts after a few seconds, trying not to sound too eager.
carnagecarnival: (And I'll kick you down.)

[personal profile] carnagecarnival 2014-02-01 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
he plucks the ring from the box and turns it over in his hand. He peers closely at the little skulls all put together. He was never hugely one for jewellery if only for the seadweller association irrevocably tied with it, but-

"He does," He says, surprise in his voice at himself. And her. He slides it on, wiggling and flexing his fingers to check the movement. He can't imagine wearing it all the time, especially not with the arenas, but perhaps for rites and ritual, he thinks. He looks at her and says, "IT'S MOTHERFUCKING BITCHIN'."

A flicker of a smile pulls at his lips then slips away, for another wave of awkwardness. "Thanks," He mutters.

That flicker of a smile pulls a smile onto Terezi's lips as well. There's still a hint of her previous standard grin, but it's also a little more genuine. A touch softer.

"You're welcome. I'm glad you like it." She folds her hands behind her back, the picture of innocence... if one didn't know any better. "I didn't know if you'd be getting anything from anyone else. ...The Psiioniic, maybe. Hmm? Did he pawn off another tribble on you?"
carnagecarnival: (In the west they have made a plague.)

[personal profile] carnagecarnival 2014-02-02 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
"I WOULDN'T LET HIM PASS OFF ANOTHER GODDAMN TRIBBLE IF HE TRIED," He says with exasperated shake of his head. "Fucker already has too goddamn many. CAN'T LEAVE HIM ALONE WITH FOOD FOR A MOMENT WITHOUT FINDING ANOTHER MOTHERFUCKING TRILLING FLUFFBALL."

He is well and unfortunately aware of the state of D2 and his moirails room. But it would seem a moirail's advice is not always indispensable and the tribble problem is not looking to stop. His focuses have been put to keeping his own count down to four.

"But no. AIN'T GOT NOTHING PRESENTED. Didn't give thought to it, truth up and told. YOU?"
pythianjudgment: ([n] chitchat)

[personal profile] pythianjudgment 2014-02-02 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
She laughs. He's still going with those Tribbles... She never knew that one little gift to him would bring about that much trouble. It's delightful.

But the mention of other gifts quiets her a little. She shrugs her shoulders. "Yeah, I got two. A necklace from Karkat and some chalk things from my mentor guy. His name's Eddie." She nestles that bit of information in the middle of her sentence, watered down and not a big deal.
carnagecarnival: (Than to breathe a lie.)

[personal profile] carnagecarnival 2014-02-02 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
So Karkat has sought to make amends with her by now. Good, he thinks, more vindictive than he should all things considered. But then, a necklace... he couldn't know the implications there, though he'd been jealous hadn't he? All thinking she and him were a thing. And now the troll was passing jewellery.

What the fuck ever. It's not his business. She held a fondness for him for some goddamn reason. He doesn't want to talk about the mutant with her because for all he promised her not to harm him, he's still got no kind word to offer on his ilk.

He focuses on the last part. "Chalk from Eddie? GUESS THE MOTHERFUCKER GOT TO PAYING ATTENTION THEN. Fancy motherfucking that. SUPPOSE A GIRL IS HAPPY THEN. Suppose at she's taking to liking?"

[personal profile] pythianjudgment 2014-02-20 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah!" She's relieved that he didn't harp on the thing about Karkat, or even mention it at all. Talking about the thing that Eddie got her is more than welcome conversation by comparison.

"He told me that someone informed him of my preferred hobbies. I wonder who that could have been."
carnagecarnival: (Stifled the choice.)

[personal profile] carnagecarnival 2014-02-20 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
"A MOTHERFUCKING WONDER ALL INDEED. Mysteries of the world about how all that gets like to be," He teases innocently. For all it wants to bring a smirk.

"A SISTER MAY ALL NEVER KNOW. No science all made to touch that wicked shit, only what be. ONLY WHAT UP AND MOTHERFUCKING MAKES ALL TO BE AS OF THE MOST RIGHTEOUS MYSTICS."

He smiles then. "Good then that a liking has been taken indeed. WOULD BE A SHAME TO SEE THEM MYSTICS IGNORED ALL BY THIS EDDIE MOTHERFUCKER AND LIKE TO BE SPUN WRONG."

"Well, whatever mystical motherfucker ended up telling him can have my thanks. And I'm going to scribble on his door as a consolation prize."

She grins at him, bumping her shoulder against him in a friendly manner. He won't care about the threat of door graffiti, if he even considers it a threat at all. She doesn't think he will.
