[Don't even ask where Espio managed to acquire these, or why he, of all people, has decided to put them up... but as of 5am, the dormitory corridors have been decorated with twinkly fairy lights. As someone from a place where Christmas is A Big Deal (yet mysteriously with no Christianity), the place is just not Christmassy enough, dangit. And when you can't sleep, what do you do with yourself at 5am?

Oh, but it wasn't him. Honest. Somebody else who can turn invisible put them up. Now that the actual morning has arrived, he's just observing them in shock - shock - that someone put flashing lights everywhere.

Now, if only he could convince someone that a tree was a good idea...]

[BBS]

I see the the corridors are suitably blinding for the season.

What's next? Someone gonna start blasting Christmas music through the intercom? Dump tinsel and glitter everywhere? Or maybe haul in a tree from somewhere, I dunno, what other stupid Winter holiday traditions are around?

As long as there's mince pies, I'll put up with anything.

Dude what ya griping about? Shitty lights are fun as hell. Maybe we can talk marco and fi into singing some songs. They aint haff bad ya know.

[espio]

Everything, Namur. I gripe about everything. Including people's singing.

Still, I'm just glad they're only string lights. It could have been much worse.

[om_nom_namur]

So wait does that mean you secretly LIKE it?

[espio]

It's vaguely kind of festive.

[om_nom_namur]

Yah. Leest their aint like singing elf decorashuns and fake crismus fairys that shake there asses when ya walk past

[espio]

Yeah. Just a few lights to brighten the halls up now the days are so short, and nothing ridiculous.

[om_nom_namur]

Think whoever did it would be mad if i added some drawings?

[espio]

I would think that'd depend on what the drawings are of.

[Ace woke without his newest cuddle buddy [protector from terrible nightmares] and yawned. He got up, gathered his things and went to head to his room when he noticed the lights.]

Who put up lights and why?

[espio]

Presumably, someone from a world that has anything like Christmas put them up. Compared to what I usually get to see this time of year, this is subtle.

[mera_mera_ace]

Christmas lights? Is that what they are....? I've never seen them...heard about em though. The only thing I know about christmas is Thatch running around deck with glitter and a stick screaming he's a pixie...

[espio]

U-um...

That sounds like... something I don't want to see.

[mera_mera_ace]

It's rather funny actually. [Laughs as he remembers, then turns his attention to the lights again.]

I wonder who did it...they're certainly pretty.

[espio]

Someone who didn't have anything else to do at stupid hours of the morning, I'd guess.

[There's a ghost of a smile on his face. Yep, pretty indeed. Sure, the faculty will probably take them down, but it might cheer some people up...]

[mera_mera_ace]

hmm, speaking of people wandering around in the morning, where were you? I woke up alone.

[espio]

I was - um...

[Oops. That's the downside of letting people share your room - they catch that kind of thing.]

I couldn't sleep, so I went up to the roof for a bit.

Maybe if you're lucky, you'll get a visit from the Christmas Fairy.

[espio]

You mean Santa?

Oddly enough, that's happened every year I've been here. Where do you think my airship came from?

[thatched]

Pffh. The Christmas Fairy is much cooler than any old red suited old guy. Trust me.

[espio]

For some reason, the words 'trust me' filled me with a strong, overwhelming desire to flee.

[thatched]

There is no running from the Christmas Fairy.... No hiding either, ma petite croissant. You'll just have to bear it.

[espio]

Now I'm really scared.

[thatched]

As well you should be. Now what would you like for this festive occasion? You can have anything you like, but be warned, any variation of 'leave me alone' will be cheerfully rejected and might just end up with you getting dunked in eggnog.

[espio]

Dinner.

[Gakupo steps out into the hallway, whistling a pleasant tune which stops immediately upon finding the lights all over the place. He looks all around, wondering where they could have come from. Certainly they weren't there last night!]

Ah...hello?
