(no subject)
Who: Sonico, Cassian, Demyx, Dorothy, Mobius, Garrus, Emerald, David and Kay.
What: Family lunch
Where: Sonico/Cassian/Kay's house
When: December 25th
A) Outside the house:
Baby it’s cold outside...but who doesn’t love building some snowmen by the pond? Or lighting up some fireworks? Drop to the ground and make your own snow angels by the pond too, before the falling snow covers everything again.
B) Inside the house:
The house it’s been decorating following both the Christmas tradition and the time-honoured Galactic holiday: Life Day. And thus you can find Christmas decorations hanging on the ceiling and walls, candles by the windows, ominous elf shelves sitting on random places, cookies and sweets...and also wookie paper chains, Life Day orbs created using clear Christmas balls with jewels to make them shine and a miniature Life Tree made out of cardboard and paper with the branches and roots made out of crushed and twisted craft paper.
Red is also traditional, so there's a lightweight red felt tablecloth on the table. The table is laid with an assortment of foods, all of them strange, more than a few horrifying. The proud owner of a copy of Christmas Cooking With Cassie will remember a number of dishes from the book, such as the shrimps pyramid with a savory fish filling and the stuffed salmon. If you think the lobster is trying to walk away, that’s just your imagination, promise. Among the foods from home there is a jug of green milkshake, which smells suspiciously of fish, and perfectly normal Wookiee-ookiee. You might be less amused by such foods as deep-fried gorg or pickled space worm but it’s all perfectly edible! On the other hand Garrus gets a special dextro food selection, which is smaller, but looks like a perfectly normal meal.
C) Mistletoe:
No Christmas party is complete without some Mistletoe here and there to make it even more special. Make sure the person you get caught with under the mistletoe is the one you want...or soldier on if they aren’t.
D) By the tree /Present sharing:
The proper Christmas tree is a huge monstrosity of a tree whose tip nearly brushes the ceiling of the room - but only nearly, which is a good thing for the Swablu which keeps flying to and fro, busy building a nest at the top of the tree. It looks strangely mauled in some places, and has been secured in place with several sturdy ropes spanning the width of the room as if it had to withstand a tsunami. Presents are scattered under the tree, but nosy partygoers beware! Get too close, and you run the risk of a white hellcat leaping out of the tree at you.
Once it’s time for present sharing it’s quite possible you’ll have to fight the cat to get yours. Consider this the boss challenge of your Christmas quest!
E) Choose your own adventure:
Pretty self explanatory. Wanna take a look around the house? Need some quietness? Would you like to go play with the pokemon? Crash on the couch and watch a Christmas movies? Feel free.

[Ur not moving man, so he's going to throw the snowball at your chest.]
DODGE!
This thread is so pure
Luckily, he has experience dodging things like vehicles flying at him, so he's able to lunge out of the way. It's not graceful by any means. He lands facedown in the snow behind a bush. He sits up after a moment, back to the bush as he uses it for cover and wipes the snow off his visor while he tries to figure out what's happening. He knows two things:
1. Kay is throwing snowballs at him.
2. He's supposed to dodge.
Well, that's not very helpful.
He turns his head so that it's parallel to the bush and calls out loud enough for Kay to hear him.]
Am I supposed to throw them back or just dodge?
Awww yes
Kay has moved while Garrus was busy faceplanting, making a bigger snowball and taking aim.]
Takes a guess!
[The droid sound fairly amused and this time the ball flying towards Garrus is aimed at this head.]
poor tri-fingered turian
Well, this is going nowhere fast, so he has to retaliate, right? Can't be hard to make a snowball, right? Except turian hands aren't exactly built for scooping so it takes a few attempts and some muttered curses before he manages to make a passable snowball. He peeks around the corner and spots his target before stepping out a little to chuck it, retreating back to cover immediately afterwards, choosing to listen to find out if he landed a hit while he tries to make a new one.]
/pets him. All work and no play isn't good for the health, Garrus,
He had been so fascinated by Garrus' attempt at making the snowball that when it actually hits him, Kay lets out a small shriek. It didn't hurt and he doesn't mind the cold because it doesn't affect him, but it gets him moving.]
Oh, it's on!
[It's a bit difficult to find cover when you are as tall as him but Garrus isn't exactly short either, so that's a consolation. He kneels behind a small wall of snow, and waits for Garrus to show it's head -or any part- so he can throw another snowball at him.]
He's fiiiiiiiiiiiine /collapses
It looks and sounds like he's doing it right, though, so he creates another snowball. He's still not super fast at it, the action still foreign, but it takes less attempts than the first time. He'll have this down in no time.
He wishes his sensors could detect droids, so he's going to have to settle with throwing the snowball in an arch, aiming to where he last saw Kay hide. He rises from behind the bush he's tucked behind, chucks it, pretty pleased with his aim.]
That is the opposite of 'FINE' (ノ_<。)
Kay has been busy himself making a giant snowball, now the size of a basket ball. In fact, he has been so busy that he doesn't pay attention when Garrus throws the snowball and it makes a perfectly nice curve in the air...to end hitting the top of his head. Kay's optics shifts, now covered in snow, and he has to shaking his head like a dog to get the snow out of them.]
Kriff...this is war.
[Enjoy having a giant ball throw at your head, Garrus.]
shhhhh he's just taking a power nap
Which unfortunately makes him an easy target.
A regular snowball would have just stunned him for a second, but that behemoth? That knocks him off his feet with a grunt, and a moment later he finds himself on the ground and discovering that Cassian is full of crap because snow definitely just tastes like water. The snow melting through his clothes will be a pain in the ass later, but for now? He's really enjoying himself. He laughs again, still prone, unable to recall the last time he was so at ease. So this is what relaxing is like.]
That was a dirty trick!
[His voice is still light - he's not at all mad. He sits up and does the best to wipe the snow off of his visor. He needs to retaliate, but he's not up to making giant snowballs just yet. He starts to gather snow again when he feels something hard in his hand - a frozen something or other. He's not certain what it is, but it'll do. He takes aim and hurls it, but not at Kay. Instead it whacks a branch above the droid, causing the resting snow to be knocked off and fall straight down in a clump right where Kay is currently standing.]
Right, of course!
[Kay's amused tone of voice pretty much is asking 'What are you going to do about it?'. He's heard Garrus laugh and realizes that it's not a familiar sound. He likes it.
He would give Garrus extra points for creativity and hitting the branch if he weren't busy letting out a shriek.]
Garrus laughs sometimes! He's just usually too busy with work for fun :c save him kay
Two can play that game.
[He's feeling pretty smug right about now, besting the droid at his own game.
There's a dot of water on his visor from some snow that must have melted. He goes to wipe it, but then stops and stands up straight, realizing something.]
Hey, Kaytoo, are you waterproof?
[Because snow melts, and there are definitely a couple of panels on the outside of his plating. And the last thing he wants is to mess up his circuitry from burying him in snow.]
