Panda Christmas

[bamboozler]

Who: Panda, Pilouette Bonheur, Shinji Ikaria, and everyone on the Secret Santa sign-ups!
What: It's the first Panda Christmas! Feel free to start your own mingle threads!
When: December 18th at around 2:00 PM
Where: Rec Center
Summary: Well, somehow Panda managed to throw together a Christmas party. This won't end too poorly, will it?
Rating: PG for safety?

NOTE: If you signed up for the Secret Santa, there is a thread for dropping off gifts! Put the name of the person the gift is for in your subject line in a reply to that thread and explain what the gift is, whether it's signed, etc. Any details you want!


For a while, it didn't look like it would pan out. Despite Shinji and Pilouette's presence and ties to the project that was Panda Christmas, Panda seemed to have no interest in the party whatsoever. His interest was even lower when he was caught trying to get everyone to bring a gift to him instead. So, while everyone went to sleep that night...

...Panda transformed the rec center. He brought in stalks of bamboo! He laid out all of the Panda themed candy! He "made" fresh panda bread! He even displayed traditional Christmas decorations like candy canes and mistletoe...but also some not so traditional decorations.

The biggest draw is probably the Christmas tree he's set up in the very center of the rec room for people to drop off their gifts! There are a few boxes underneath it already when the party starts, but the amount will only grow as more people come to drop off their gift.

But why let it end there? There's punch, baked goods, plates of bamboo...a little of everything thanks to Panda and Pilouette and Shinji. Why not stay a while and celebrate Christmas...Panda style!

For Ororo Munroe

[faithfulflame]

Rei had never met Ororo, but she did know that the woman was a teacher from her encounter with Kurt, and so armed with that knowledge she assumed that Ororo was probably a bit older than most people here and might not appreciate some of the standard Christmas gifts.

So Rei gave her two things. The first was a handcarved Omamori, a charm of good fortune and a note to keep in on her so that the magic could work, and the second was Rei's first real successful attempt at enchanting. Using some of the sigils and spells she'd learned from Helios, Rei had imbued a personal massager to always be slightly warm, to help unknot muscles better. Hopefully, Ororo would like it.

Ororo wasn't sure what to expect from the Secret Santa, so when she found the gift (or rather, gifts) addressed to her, she was pleasantly surprised. The massager would be useful in the future, she was sure - but it's the charm that has her interest for the moment. She turns it this way and that, examining it closely.

"It's for luck," came a quiet voice from behind Ororo. Rei'd guessed she would be a little confused.

[calmbeforethe]

Ororo half-turned to face the new voice and smiled when she saw it was a young woman. "Oh; are you my secret santa?" She held up the charm. "Thank you for the gifts; they're both wonderful."

"You're welcome. Merry Christmas, Munroe-san."

And with that, Rei glides off, the model of Japanese elegance. What else need be said?
