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?]

[Watching with a curious raise to his eyebrows.]

[Clicking!


And out comes a little green stone.

...

Liu stares at it for a moment, before quickly grabbing it, hopefully before Roberto saw it. HE DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT THE GREEN STONE RIGHT? RIGHT? ;A;]

[Roberto looks curiously at him, quirking up an eyebrow.]

What was that rock?

[touchedbystars.livejournal.com]

I-it's nothing. Aha... ha... [Totally not a nervous laughter.] You're right. It does give random things, huh?

[twoyearblade.livejournal.com]

[HMMM.] You grabbed it up awful fast.

[touchedbystars.livejournal.com]

No, I didn't! [Totally not defensive!] You're just imagining things.

[twoyearblade.livejournal.com]

[Smiiiiiiiirk.] Sure I did.

[touchedbystars.livejournal.com]

[He will pointedly ignore that. You are not outright teasing him, so therefore he will not react. Yup.] Anyway, this thing is pretty weird. [He shuffles nervously, before looking at the button again.] Do you think it's limited to one use per person?

[twoyearblade.livejournal.com]

[Roberto considers and then reaches over to tap the button. Aaaand...nothing.] Looks like it.

[touchedbystars.livejournal.com]

Wonder how it does that. Don't tell me it can tell everyone here apart.

[twoyearblade.livejournal.com]

Maybe so. I wouldn't put it past them to be able to make something like that. [Grimace.]

[It reminds him of the Chronicle, really, but he's not sure an overgrown golden statue of the guy who's keeping them here in a ridiculous outfit is really something he'd want to be associated with the Chronicle.] Got to hand it to them, they're pretty good at this.

[twoyearblade.livejournal.com]

[He wrinkles his nose. He hates giving them any kind of complements.] ...Yeah, looks like it.

[touchedbystars.livejournal.com]

What are you planning to do now?

[twoyearblade.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure. [Roberto hitches a shoulder in a shrug.] What about you?

[touchedbystars.livejournal.com]

Go home, I guess. I was hoping it was something a little more interesting, but it doesn't look like it'll do much else now.

[twoyearblade.livejournal.com]

There's not that much to do at the house. [A pause. He swipes a hand through his hair.] It's not so bad out, let's have a walk around the place.

[touchedbystars.livejournal.com]

[He's a little surprised by the invitation, though he doesn't really object either. He's not like the rest of them, active and gungho about stuff, but...] Sure, why not?

[twoyearblade.livejournal.com]

[Roberto will make you active and gungho darnit. Okay, maybe not but still. It'd be nice having company on one of his patrols.] Okay. C'mon.

[touchedbystars.livejournal.com]

[Following then!] You don't have to tell me twice.

[twoyearblade.livejournal.com]

Have you checked out the whole place yet? I think the only place I haven't been is to the mountains--or past them.

[Yup. Roberto's getting to know the village like the back of his hand.]

[touchedbystars.livejournal.com]

I checked out the village, but nothing past it yet. I might do so soon enough. How about you?
