Generic Winter Gift Giving Holiday

Who: Marvel cast+invited guests and dates
What: CH5 Floor 5 hosts Generic Winter Gift Giving Holiday, in the spirit of cooperation, inclusiveness and good food.
When: December 25th
Where: Community House 5, Floor 5
Summary: Pepper and Tony held Thanksgiving, now it is Floor 5's collective turn to host the party for Christmas/Hanukkah/Yule/whatever those crazy Midgarians celebrate anyway. Hopefully everyone will survive.
Rating: PG-13 because alcohol




[It seemed only fair that since Pepper and Tony had hosted the last holiday, that someone else host this time. And since they kind of had an entire floor, the inhabitants of Floor 5 had bravely and nobly taken the task upon themselves to create a party that they could all share.

The doors are propped open to try to give them enough space for mingling, with a Christmas tree set up in Clint's living room, presents laid out beneath it. And maybe he's been a bit enthusiastic with the decorating, because it's kind of weighted down with tinsel and baubles, but it's been more than twenty years since he last had a Christmas tree and people to spend it with. Everyone else has added their own personal touches too, with a menorah in the windowsill for Ben and Billy.

The place of honour on the couch is taken by Coulson, wrapped up in blankets and Clint has helpfully hung a sprig of mistletoe over his head with string because he is thoughtful like that.

The kitchen is laid out with food; there's the traditional turkey which they'd managed to prepare (Clint is rather proud of that), and a ham. Oddly for some perhaps, there's also a large fish in the middle of the table, the carp that Clint and Natasha have spent the last week keeping in a bathtub. There are, of course, assorted cakes and pies, vegetables in bowls. There's drinks too, mulled wine and hot cider and chocolate. There's also a plate of sugar cookies labelled 'Coercion Cookies'. Not to mention the food that Ben and Billy made which he doesn't know the names of but smells amazing anyway.

It's a somewhat chaotic affair; people arriving and leaving as they please, gifts given out whenever it seems appropriate and games played whenever there's a group big enough.]



[OOC: Feel free to have people drop by whenever they like, even early if they want to help prepare or discover large fish in the bathtub.]

Really? Why's that?

[Because now he's curious and even if he was asked to go he probably wouldn't know, at least not until he's answered.]

[Ben's careful to be gentle with Henry's small hand when he shakes it; nothing new there, even if he's a bit more careful with kids than he is with adults.]

You been in this village long, Henry?

Oooh what just happened? You can't be hit?

[Sabriel glances down at some of the other screens to try and see what's happening- which makes it easy for Bowser's kart to knock hers out of the way and send Yoshi spinning out.]

Oh dear-!

[Teddy had already slowed his kart down to avoid the blue shell, only to speed up again once Billy shot ahead with the Star power up. He ends up laughing to himself at that; God, Mario Kart is so fun with four people, especially when one is very, very competitive.]

That's what the Star does. It -

[Oooh, and Sabriel drove right into his path, which sends poor Yoshi flying.]

Haha, sorry, Sab! [He's not entirely sorry, really. And now that they're at the next bend, Teddy starts to work the shoulder buttons and the control stick to power slide and give himself extra boosts. Billy may be ahead now, but Teddy's catching up fast thanks to this.

And now that he's crashed into the question boxes, give him something good, give him something good - ah, red shell. Nice. He'll be saving that.]
theboywiththebook: (Funny)

Mind if Henry fourth walls?

[personal profile] theboywiththebook 2012-12-28 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[And there's a grin right back.]

You're still here though.

[Pausing for a moment he tilts his head. He's kind of got an idea who this guy is but....]

Have you ever used a bow?
theboywiththebook: (You're kidding)

[personal profile] theboywiththebook 2012-12-28 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Steve...what. Just what?

In any case, Henry can spot that thing from outer space. So in a closed space and party. It's easy.]

Merry Christmas, Steve.

Kind of, but I mean it's also the way your sitting on that window.

[He continues to smile. Already having figured it out.]

You're Hawkeye, right?
theboywiththebook: (watcha dooooin)

Re: Not at all! Go ahead

[personal profile] theboywiththebook 2012-12-28 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I kind of figured it out by myself.
theboywiththebook: (not buying it)

[personal profile] theboywiththebook 2012-12-28 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
It wasn't hard. I mean, you hang out with a woman named Natasha. You use a bow. You also know how to fight really well. So I think anyone could come to that.

[Or Henry's just too smart for his own good.]
theboywiththebook: (Uhhhh)

are you against Henry saying he's from a comic book?

[personal profile] theboywiththebook 2012-12-28 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
No, you're uhh...

[How should he put this...give him a minute.]
theboywiththebook: (what?)

[personal profile] theboywiththebook 2012-12-28 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Okay just go with the whole fairy tale explanation being real for back in Storybrooke.]

You're a comic book character in my world.
theboywiththebook: (Oh yeah we got this)

[personal profile] theboywiththebook 2012-12-28 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well he's not being called crazy, that's good.]

Of course.

[He can even show you your awesome costume.]


You beat the bad guys along with all the other Avengers, that's always cool.
theboywiththebook: (cheered up)

[personal profile] theboywiththebook 2012-12-28 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course. Good always wins. That;s how it is.
theboywiththebook: (Hope)

[personal profile] theboywiththebook 2012-12-28 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's true. Evil did win battles, but Good always won the war.]

I never told you my name. I'm Henry.
theboywiththebook: (You know what I mean)

[personal profile] theboywiththebook 2012-12-28 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
It's been about two months since I got here.
