Backdated to just after the stockings were received

[schrodingersghost]

So... who else got something from home in those stockings?

Oh, I did. It is actually quite nice. I'm wary about accepting it, but I suppose the city feels the need to try and placate us at times.

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

Great. Bribery.

[zelda-hylia.livejournal.com]

Come, now. Rejecting it just out of spite will do no good. Unless it brought something that you do not like?

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

Let's call it something that isn't very useful.

[zelda-hylia.livejournal.com]

I see, so it's not to your liking. That's unfortunate.

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

...Not really.

[ninthserenade.livejournal.com]

I, uh... You could say I got a 'pet' from home. And a big case of homesickness.

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

...How did they fit an animal into one of those stockings?

[ninthserenade.livejournal.com]

It's a really flexible one.

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

...Must be.

[ultra-recyclo.livejournal.com]

Oh nooo. Don't tell me Vatheon imposed some of its holiday cheer on you without your permission, Danny.

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

Worse, it gave me something from home. [He doesn't sound happy about it.]

[ultra-recyclo.livejournal.com]

[She's laughing a little at his answer.]

Yeah? What'd it bring?

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

...The Booooo-merang. Or something that looks just like it.

[ultra-recyclo.livejournal.com]

Are you serious? That's kind of cool, though.

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately. I don't really feel like dealing with the headache testing it would involve.

[ultra-recyclo.livejournal.com]

Give it to me, then.

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

..Please tell me you're not going to throw it.

[ultra-recyclo.livejournal.com]

Does it still follow you?

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

I didn't check.

[ultra-recyclo.livejournal.com]

So check. Hey, it could be useful, if you ever get kidnapped or lost or something. I could glue a map to it and throw it, right? [She may or may not be teasing you, Danny.]

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

Very funny. Come on, Sam. It's been months since anything like that happened.

[ultra-recyclo.livejournal.com]

You realize that's kind of like staring at the sky and going "It couldn't get any worse!", right? I bet it's gonna start raining at any minute, now. Metaphorically.

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

What could happen? Vlad isn't here. Mom and Dad aren't here. And the only ghosts I've met aren't the take over the world type.

[ultra-recyclo.livejournal.com]

Danny, we're living rent-free in a magic, underwater city, unable to go or contact home and side-by-side with people like talking mice. Are you seriously telling me that there's nothing that could happen?

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

And after two months the only major disasters were the kraken attack and the deaging thing. Compared to home that's practically normal.

[ultra-recyclo.livejournal.com]

Oh, come on, Danny. I'll come over and pick it up.

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

Fine. Just don't go throwing it around. I was enjoying the vacation from not having things constantly blowing up or hitting me.

[ultra-recyclo.livejournal.com]

I'll keep it under a rock. Cross my heart.

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

Are you home right now?

[ultra-recyclo.livejournal.com]

Yeah. The door's unlocked if you wanna drop it off.

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

I'll be right over then.

[ultra-recyclo.livejournal.com]

Awesome. See you soon.

[And if he comes in, he'll find her hanging upside down from the couch, playing some sort of handheld video game.]

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

[He'll come in, gingerly holding a familiar device by one end.]
