WHO WANTS PRESENTS?

[knightofratatosk]

Who: Anyone and everyone!
What: Getting unexpected gifts
When: From 6 PM on the 23rd until midnight of the 27th
Where: The central plaza and the fountain
Summary: Hey, that's a rather interesting-looking button at the bottom of that statue. I wonder what happens if I press it?
Rating: No higher than PG-13, I hope.


[Anyone passing through the center of town this evening will have a very hard time missing that large golden Santa statue that has suddenly appeared in the fountain. But... wait, isn't that Bil instead of Santa? Somehow, that isn't exactly a surprise.

But perhaps the most interesting feature of the statue is the large button at its base. Will you press it?]

[Frederic continues staring at the carp, but helps Poland with it.]

My goodness, it is. We could take it back to your home or mine, that is if you wish to.

[polishrule.livejournal.com]

Mine! It's totally going in my bathtub, duh.

[refinedmaestro.livejournal.com]

Well, let us be on our way to your home then.

[polishrule.livejournal.com]

[And he'll be leading his way to his home. A little quickly because this fish doesn't need to die on him.]

[refinedmaestro.livejournal.com]

[He'll smile at Poland the entire time, happy that they're able to spend time like this together. Once they get to the apartment, he'll look around it.]

Where is your bathing room?

[polishrule.livejournal.com]

[Poland doesn't really notice his smile as he's busy trying to keep hold of the carp, but as soon as they're in, he motions his head to the direction of his bathroom. He quickly moves there and his bathroom has all sorts of shampoos and soaps that Poland's been experimenting with along with several other vanity items.]

Start the water! Like, not too cold and not too hot.

[Frederic follows Poland and adjusts the water so it's warm enough for the poor carp. Once he's done, he'll sit down on the edge of the tub with a sigh.]

[polishrule.livejournal.com]

[As soon as he Frederic sits down, he smiles and puts the carp in the water, watching it swim around. He looks almost childishly delighted.]

[refinedmaestro.livejournal.com]

[He'll watch Poland's expressions and a smile curls up on his lips, seeing the other smile brings joy to his heart. Instead of speaking another word, the composer simply enjoys this moment they have together.]

[polishrule.livejournal.com]

[Poland's smile at the carp turns more calm as he looks over to Frederic.] Hey, Fryderyk? Before you moved to France, did your family ever do this or did you just like, buy a carp already chopped and everything?

[refinedmaestro.livejournal.com]

[Frederic laughs a little and smiles with a nod.] Yes, my family was very traditional on Christmas. We did practically everything from when I was a little boy until I left for Paris, so we did have a large carp for this time of year.

[polishrule.livejournal.com]

[Poland smiles at him and then sighs.] It's a totally nice carp, isn't it?

[refinedmaestro.livejournal.com]

[Frederic nods and sits next to him.] It's a beautiful carp, I'm so glad to be apart of this tradition with you.

[polishrule.livejournal.com]

[He smiles at him and then moves a shampoo bottle out of the way so he can rest his arms on the bathtub as he stares down at it.] This kind of feels like home. Except...

[refinedmaestro.livejournal.com]

[He gently wraps an arm around Poland's waist and pulls him close to his body, the warmth of their two bodies being close feels very calming.] Except what?

[polishrule.livejournal.com]

[He doesn't really mind being so close and he lets him pull him close.] Mm, I just feel like something's missing is all. But it's not a big deal.

[refinedmaestro.livejournal.com]

[He'll stroke his hair softly and frown.] Something is missing? What do you think it is?

[polishrule.livejournal.com]

[He has an idea, but he shrugs anyway.] Don't know. But it doesn't matter. I have a carp and like, I have you. So things are pretty good. [He looks over and smiles at him.]

[refinedmaestro.livejournal.com]

[He'll think about something and then frown more, but he tries smiling.] I was never able to get a gift from that strange statue, I wonder if it's too late. Then again, I don't need any gifts because I have you.

[polishrule.livejournal.com]

[Poland looks at him and then blushes before he laughs awkwardly.] Dude, stop embarrassing me. But I bet you can totally get a gift still.

[refinedmaestro.livejournal.com]

[Frederic's expression grows bright when Poland says that.] Then let's hurry before everything is gone. [He takes Poland's hand and rushes out the door with a bright smile, one he's hardly expressed before.]

[polishrule.livejournal.com]

[Poland's a little surprised when he sees Frederic looking like that, but he laughs and follows behind him. He's always thought he should smile more.]

[Once they get back outside and in front of the statue, Frederic decided to push the large button and out popped a small box nicely wrapped up for him. As he opens it, inside is a pocket watch (http://www.antiquehelper.com/auctionimages/37851t.jpg) with his name engraved on the inside and the case cover has an engraved eagle which looks like the Polish coat of arms (http://polish-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/polish-coat-of-arms.png). He's a little surprised to see the watch also is a working one, not like his old one. Yet he also stares at the watch for a while, making sure there's no tricks to it that the Malnosso might have put inside.]

[polishrule.livejournal.com]

[Poland is a little surprised at the watch, but as he looks it over, he smiles at it.]

That's like, a pretty cool watch. They even put my coat of arms on it! Totally nice of them. They have good taste.

[Frederic stops staring at the watch and holds it close before he then puts the watch in his pocket to hug Poland tightly. No words are spoken from his mouth and his arms only continue holding Poland.]
