35 - [voice] Christmas~ ...Not that Zuko actually celebrates it.

[forged_anew]

I guess it's a pretty important holiday for a lot of people. Um, hope you guys enjoy it.

[...]

Thank you for the gifts, everyone. I really wasn't expecting that. They're... nice.

...who gave me a tree, though? It wasn't labeled, so I was just wondering.

Comments

You too?

Did everyone get a plant...?

[forged_anew]

Huh? I don't know.

I just assumed it was a gift or something... I'm not familiar with this holiday, so I figured it had something to do with it.

[u-n-asplode.livejournal.com]

I knew they put plants up as decoration, but not that people give them out as gifts in little pots.


...there isn't much else growing here, either. Where did these come from, anyway?

[forged_anew]

Yeah, that stupid missle-something.

[...]

Good point. And it looks like it was just planted. I have no idea.

[Just hung that stupid hat on your doorknob and RAN LIKE THE WIND. Also it has a card saying 'for Zuko' in Oz's handwriting, but idk if he'd recognize that or even be able to read it LOL]

Hey, you got a plant too?

[u-n-asplode.livejournal.com]

Wreaths, too. And holly. I don't like holly...


Maybe I shouldn't put it in the corner, then.

[forged_anew]

I see.

You think it's suspicious?

[u-n-asplode.livejournal.com]

...I've had bad experiences with magically appearing plants.

[forged_anew]

I haven't had any experiences with magically appearing plants. They don't tend to just appear where I'm from.

[u-n-asplode.livejournal.com]

The mistletoe bit me.

[forged_anew]

Heard it shocked some people too.

Hmm... this one doesn't seem hostile.

[yes, he's tentatively prodding at it]

[crystal-eyed.livejournal.com]

A nice gift for a nice person, you might say.

[forged_anew]

[stupid hat will have to wait a few minutes to be discovered... and no, he totally wouldn't realize it was Oz. lol]

Yeah. Seems like I wasn't the only one.

[dfkjgnmdf good thing this isn't video, or you'd get to see the lovely pink color his ears are turning]

U-um... thanks, Eald'narche. The gloves are... uh, warm.

Did you ...make them?

[text because hell if he lets his voice crack during this]

[crystal-eyed.livejournal.com]

I scavenged all over town for some but I didn't find any good ones, so I decided to put together some scrap fabric. I'm glad to hear you like them.

[ He's inwardly wondering if you understood that drawing of his. Whadoya mean it's not symbolic? ]

[voice and wondering why you suddenly switched to text]

[forged_anew]

Yeah. They're good. Thanks.

I... didn't realize, um-- [...] I wasn't expecting to get presents.

[text and wondering why YOU're still using voice]

[crystal-eyed.livejournal.com]

You weren't?

[...]

You don't have Christmas where you're from either, do you?

... I TOTALLY AM DYING AT THE MOOD THEME I JUST NOTICED. AHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

I will!

... You got a plant, too? Ha! I'm half-worried I'll kill mine, but Naruto showed me a few things about taking care of plants before I left....

[voice and suspecting why you're on text B| ]

[forged_anew]

No, we don't. The Water Tribe celebrates Winter Solstice but the Fire Nation doesn't really.

I didn't know people were supposed to give gifts.

[just a bit sheepish >.> ]

What, my suns? ._.

[forged_anew]

Does your world celebrate it?

Seems like a lot of people got one. Now I'm wondering if I should keep it... Who are they from?

THEY. ARE. AMAZING.

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

Yeah, actually! Although more of a just a present thing. Not any religious bits.

No idea who they're from. I'm going to keep mine, though. It's kinda cute.

[text and hoping you don't bring it up D8]

[crystal-eyed.livejournal.com]

Aah...I see.

Apparently we are. According to everyone else, that is.

[voice and who knows? >.> ]

[forged_anew]

...yeah, I had no idea. Minamimoto told me a bit about it, and he didn't mention that. He didn't seem too fond of the holiday though.

[...]

You don't have to write to me, you know.

lol thanks. I've had them since... I made the journal, about. XD;

[forged_anew]

Yeah, I had no idea we were supposed to give presents... Religious what?

Minato, plants aren't cute. They're plants. And d'you think it's safe?

[text and YOU DO!]

[crystal-eyed.livejournal.com]

I'm not surprised.

[ . . . ]

But I am anyway. What about it?
