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.

"You do be being the best girlfriend as well." Pruna told her happily wriggling her toes again in the socks. "I do be being glad you did be liking them, I did no never be buying presents for anyone before. It did be being harder than I did be thinking."
justoutrunyou: (new toys?)

that earned her a chuckle out of Sandy. "You did great. It's hard sure but the longer you're with someone, the more you get to know em the easier it gets."

At least that makes sense to Sandy. It's not like she's done much more gift giving then Pruna.
knifewithnoname: (pondering)

[personal profile] knifewithnoname 2014-01-07 10:45 am (UTC)(link)
Pruna nodded, "It do just be taking practice," like everything. She thought for a moment, "Do there be being any other times you do be giving presents?" Because she wasn't going to get good at it if she only did it once a year.
justoutrunyou: (we're growing up so fast)

[personal profile] justoutrunyou 2014-01-07 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Sandy considered it for a moment.

"Well Valentines Day is like...a total holiday for boyfriends and girlfriends. It's a holiday to celebrate love." She could just imagine the face Pruna would make hearing that.

"Also birthdays. Mine's August first." Which led to her wondering if Pruna even knew when hers was. After all she hadn't known was her name was till recently.

"Kevin did be telling me about that. When he did be telling me about the bears and the hearts." She wrinkled her nose, "It do be sounding a bit stupid." Very stupid.

She wrinkled her nose, "You do no be giving presents on birthdays, that do just be being the day you do be being older."
justoutrunyou: (Hey listen up)

[personal profile] justoutrunyou 2014-01-09 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's pretty stupid." Sandy agreed. "But maybe you and I can make it not stupid somehow."

As for the second part...she couldn't help but smile. When Pruna wrinkled her nose it was cute.

"People who like you give YOU gifts on your birthday. You don't have to give other people gifts. It's like a little holiday to celebrate you and why you are so awesome." She tried to clarify.
knifewithnoname: (pondering)

[personal profile] knifewithnoname 2014-01-09 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Pruna nodded, maybe they could go and see some real bears, since no one would let her buy one. That wouldn't be stupid.

"Oh." She thought about that, it seemed strange to her that someone would give her presents just because they liked her, being told to by magical men on poles sounded a lot more feasible. "No one did ever be giving me gifts before, and I did no be ever giving my sister a gift on our birthday even though I do be liking her a lot."

[personal profile] justoutrunyou 2014-01-11 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, things were different back where you came from." Sandy reasoned not wanting Pruna to worry. "So maybe they didn't celebrate birthdays. That doesn't mean you can't celebrate them here if you want to. And if you don't no one's gonna force you to." It's not like Sandy had celebrated that many birthdays herself.
knifewithnoname: (pondering)

[personal profile] knifewithnoname 2014-01-12 12:08 pm (UTC)(link)
"Maybe." She nodded and thought about it, "I think it could be being cool. But August was ages ago before it did be getting cold and I did no be knowing it did be being your birthday then."
justoutrunyou: (I've telling that joke for years)

[personal profile] justoutrunyou 2014-01-12 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
"No problem, if I-" she caught herself and corrected her words knowing Pruna wouldn't accept an "if."

"When I survive to see my next Birthday we'll really have something to celebrate. I'll have been here for over a year...met my best friend and girlfriend...and yay still alive!"
knifewithnoname: (interested)

[personal profile] knifewithnoname 2014-01-13 09:48 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes, we can be having a big celebration!" She nodded, "With ice cream." She liked the idea of that and made a note to remember that date. The fourth day of August, she would ask Kevin what people usually did to celebrate birthdays, he hadn't failed her yet.
justoutrunyou: (dream a little dream socks)

[personal profile] justoutrunyou 2014-01-13 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
"And we can have a big celebration for your birthday. We'll do anything you want all day long and have a great big cake and ice cream." She encouraged. and then added "Um...do you know when your Birthday is?"
knifewithnoname: (pondering)

[personal profile] knifewithnoname 2014-01-14 11:10 am (UTC)(link)
Pruna grinned because that sounded like a lot of fun! Especially cake and ice cream. But doing anything she wanted sounded fun too.

"It do be being in the winter," Pruna shrugged, she didn't know when exactly. "It do always be being winter time when Taiwin do be saying 'you do be being older now and should be knowing better'" She tried to imitate a gruffer voice.
justoutrunyou: (Stone faced smile)

[personal profile] justoutrunyou 2014-01-17 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Sandy laughed "You do know better. You're really smart." She praised despite knowing damn well neither of them were that smart.

"Well we can pick a day then. That was we won't have to wait a full year for it." She offered.
knifewithnoname: (thinking)

[personal profile] knifewithnoname 2014-01-21 10:13 am (UTC)(link)
"Any day? Even if it do no be being the right one?" That sounded weird, surely if you were to celebrate it it had to be on the right day, or it would be wrong.
justoutrunyou: (We'll use masks)

[personal profile] justoutrunyou 2014-01-21 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
"Sure." Sandy put her arm around Pruna pulling her close. She found that the more physical contact with Pruna she had, the warmer and more relaxed she felt.

"At least until we figure out the real day. After all you're awesome. We should celebrate how amazing you are."
knifewithnoname: (smiles)

[personal profile] knifewithnoname 2014-01-22 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
Pruna smiled as she was hugged and thought about that, she liked that Sandy thought she was amazing. It made her feel good, no one had ever said stuff like that to her before.

"Okay, we can be finding a day."
justoutrunyou: (score!)

Shall we wrap here?

[personal profile] justoutrunyou 2014-01-25 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
"Yay!" Sandy cheered softly and grinned even brighter

"Come on let's find a calender." She took the girls hand once more pulling her along, excited to have a new project. Something she could do to make Pruna happy, and something that she could do better then Pruna.

For Pruna.

seems good to me

[personal profile] knifewithnoname 2014-01-25 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
"Okay!" Pruna grinned and let herself be pulled along, not completely certain what a calender was or where to find one, but happy to learn.
