Mitch had heard the footsteps coming, so it wasn't a surprise when somebody decided to take a seat next to him. "No, but thanks for that little tidbit," he said in a somewhat sarcastic manner. He did manage to look away from the gifts and over at Derek when he introduced himself. "Probably not." He wasn't exactly talkative on the network so he honestly couldn't remember if he had ever spoken to Derek on the net or not.
He turned his attention back onto the massive tree and its gifts. "You can look all you want, but there's no way to get them open." Which he still didn't understand. Then again it was becoming pretty apparent that they weren't supposed to understand anything this place did or didn't do. All Mitch really wanted to do was find out what was in the box since he really wasn't one for surprises. Not to mention he hadn't really done anything Christmasy since the last Christmas he had with Katrina.
