[ Closed action, Helix ]

[ He's nervous as they head down to the beach, backpack filled not only with presents but with a few choice items as well. Ritualistic. A ceremony he hasn't been a part of for years and that normally requires a month of preparations but here they are in the land of last-minute-surprises and Aidan can't pass up this opportunity. It's as close as he'll ever get to a Winter Solstice celebration ever again and although it isn't a pig being slaughtered and there's no designated boulder here, he'll do what he can with what he's got.

Hands bare and reddened by the cold, he reaches out to grab Helix's hand as they walk. Nervous. Excited. ]

[Video; open ]

Hey, y'all. Happy holidays and uh... and all that. [ Unsure if he did that right. They don't do Christmas where he's from and that's very much the point of this transmission. ] I was thinkin', I bet there's plenty of us that don't celebrate th' way the Wardens've set this up. We've got people from all over the worlds after all, it'd be weird if everyone did it just like this.

How do you do it back where you're from? Do you celebrate... Christmas or is it somethin' else?

Oh, and uh... I'll be doin' a little celebration type thing of my own down at th' beach, if anyone wants to join. Just a little somethin' from back home... bring a cup, if you're comin' down.

[ Action; open. Aidan can be found down at the beach together with Helix. They've set up a fire in one of the fire pits and anyone interested will get an introduction to the godless earth-worshipping religion that Aidan is a surprisingly devout follower of. He can also be found scurrying over the dome throughout the day, delivering GIFTS to friend and foe alike! If your character isn't on the list but has some kind of CR with Aidan, feel free to assume they got something useful and generic like a pair of gloves or a scarf! ]

	--really? Uh, cool. I have something for you too, actually. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-07-05 05:24 pm UTC (link)
	You do? [ Surprised, definitely. ] Oh, uh... I guess we should meet up an' swap gifts then, huh? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-07-05 08:11 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, should probably do that. Where're you right now? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-07-06 03:26 pm UTC (link)
	I'm at th' beach... we're doin' a little celebration thing from home. You wanna come down? [ And since this may be a better selling point: ] Helix is here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-07-06 11:16 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, cool. Sure. I'll bring his present too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-07-07 09:44 pm UTC (link)
	Cool... I'll see you later then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ It's maybe half an hour later that Dirk arrives at Aidan and Helix's little spot on the beach, carrying two boxes wrapped in plain orange paper. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He gives a wave with his bandaged hand once he spots Dirk. ] Hey! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-07-09 01:12 am UTC (link)
	Yo. [ He approaches them and sort of stands awkwardly nearby. Should he sit? Or??? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-07-09 10:23 pm UTC (link)
	[ Awkward is so often the theme of the day with these guys. ] You wanna sit down a while? We got vodka. [ For ceremonial purposes but what the hell. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hope you don't mind me hopping in! bluemoondog 2013-07-10 10:48 pm UTC (link)
	[Helix will wander over after tending to the fire and come greet Dirk. He's got a gift for him too, stashed somewhere nearby, and a drink in his hand.] Hey Dirk, glad you could make it. [His right hand is similarly bandaged.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hello there smuppeteer 2013-07-11 03:39 am UTC (link)
	Oh, uh, sure. Not thirsty, but I'll sit. [ He sits, setting the two boxes he's carrying next to himself. He raises an eyebrow when he notices they've both got bandaged hands, but hey. Maybe it's a space relationship thing. Or maybe they broke something. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-07-11 09:25 pm UTC (link)
	[ Or maybe they're idiots and kind of stabbed themselves a little bit. Either way, it's no big deal. Aidan reaches over for his backpack, retrieving a carefully wrapped package. ] Happy holidays. It, uh... it ain't much but I figured I should get you somethin' at least. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bluemoondog 2013-07-11 11:28 pm UTC (link)
	[Helix will sit with them and watch the gift giving for the time being, he has Dirk's somewhere nearby, but he'll let Aidan have the spotlight for now.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-07-12 02:37 am UTC (link)
	Oh, uh, thanks. [ He takes it and stares down at it for a moment. ] Should I do this now, or what. [ How does Christmas work ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-07-12 08:26 pm UTC (link)
	I guess? Seein' as none of us celebrated Christmas before, I guess you can do what you want. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bluemoondog 2013-07-12 10:43 pm UTC (link)
	I didn't even know he got you something, I wanna see it. [Go on. Open it. He's nosy.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-07-13 12:36 am UTC (link)
	Heh. Okay then. [ He carefully unwraps and opens the box and pulls out... an awkward beanie. Does this thing count as ironic? Or is it just too horrible to qualify? He can't tell. ] Er, thanks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-07-13 07:21 pm UTC (link)
	I, uhm. I didn't know what to get you and that kinda... I don't know. It made me think of you. [ Sort of regretting the choice but what the hell, awkward is the tagline to their buddy-cop comedy. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-07-14 03:50 am UTC (link)
	It's uh. It looks warm. [ He guesses maybe it could be ironic? He puts it back in the box, then takes the box containing Aidan's present and hands it to him. With a nod toward the remaining box, ] That's yours, Helix. [ There are smuppets inside. Aidan's is blue, and Helix's is about the same shade of red as Aidan's hair. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bluemoondog 2013-07-17 05:29 pm UTC (link)
	[He'll take up the box that's his and swap, handing Dirk a box he has wrapped as nicely as he could. IE He's not great at it but he tried! And it doesn't look too bad. Looking to Aidan, should we open ours at the same time??] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-07-17 07:25 pm UTC (link)
	[ Synchronized gift opening does seem like a thing couples should do. He gives a small nod before moving in on the package. ... ......... .................. ] Uh. Thanks? It's, uh... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Helix is too busy opening his to see what Aidan pulls out before him. Doesn't matter though cause he has one like it, only a different color. He's looking it over, that phallic looking nose and the overly round, soft, plush rump... One has to wonder what the hell these things are used for. Being curious enough he'll poke it's rear end to see if it has a ..uhm... hole for things...]

You... made these? [ Curious mostly! Trying not to be too rude about this strange gift.]

	[ Meanwhile Dirk is opening his present from Helix. He holds in a laugh at the fucking baked beans. The rest is nice, though. And yes. The smuppets have a hole in their butts. For things. He glances up from reading the hair gel bottle. ] Yeah. They're called smuppets. My own design, actually. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ This is a boy that has yet to visit a porn shop. A boy who knows nothing about twinks or bears or toys or kinks. A boy who secretly and quietly swapped the most vanilla skin mags a person could ever imagine and somehow remained that oblivious well into his twenties.

He turns the smuppet around in his hands. Glances over at Helix. Decides to take the plunge into Lake Awkward. ]

What, uh... what is it for?
