[ 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! ]

	Happy snowday. [ Grinning and totally assuming that's what they call the token winter holiday wherever Yuuri's from. ] I got you a present! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[It's not, but Yuuri was excited about snow more so than Christmas. Christmas is more of a family time and his is not here.] You too? [He looks a little sheepish.] I guess I should have done that, huh? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ That's funny, considering Aidan has very much adopted him into the giant, extended prison family he's building. ] Don't worry 'bout it... I have more fun givin' stuff anyway, so in a way you're givin' me a gift by acceptin' what I got for you! [ Perfect sense. he hands over an awkwardly wrapped package. It's clonking with a satisfying, metallic tink. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demon_king 2013-07-22 02:46 am UTC (link)
	[Yuuri has done the same. Clearly, the boy isn't thinking straight.] I am? Well, that's good I guess. [He should get people things! But first he needs to shake this package to hear more satisfying tinks first!] Should I open it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's th' purpose of wrappin' paper, isn't it? [ He gives a chuckle before nodding — go ahead. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demon_king 2013-07-25 02:48 am UTC (link)
	[Yuuri smiles.] I guess you're right! [Tear! Tear! Tear! What's inside?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-07-25 10:36 am UTC (link)
	[ Awesome things, that's what! He watches with badly hidden excitement — this is definitely the best part. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demon_king 2013-07-28 09:51 pm UTC (link)
	[Oh, it's work stuff—a watering can and...a jar!] Wow. Thanks, Aidan. [He still smiles sweetly.] This will be great if I ever get a tiger. [No, really, he said that sincerely.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-07-30 11:48 pm UTC (link)
	[ He makes an amused noise, not sure if he should take that seriously. Then again... Yuuri. ] It's uh... it's not for tigers. It's a kind of ointment, real good for sore muscles. Y'know. After baseball. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demon_king 2013-08-05 12:41 am UTC (link)
	[Oops! He looks more than a little sheepish at his mistake, but smiles good naturedly.] Oh! That's a good idea. I've never seen that before, thanks! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-08-06 06:25 pm UTC (link)
	We had some stuff like that back home, it works wonders. I mean... we didn't have it for baseball. It's still not a thing there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demon_king 2013-08-09 02:39 pm UTC (link)
	Still? [Little frown.] And I guess you couldn't even remember it to bring it to everyone. [How sad. Sad like war.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-08-09 04:52 pm UTC (link)
	Sorry... even if I had remembered, I kinda had my hands full. [ With war. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demon_king 2013-08-10 10:34 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, um, sure... So you didn't then? Remember I mean. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-08-11 09:20 am UTC (link)
	Not a thing. It's kinda weird, you'd think you'd remember a place like this no matter what but... no such luck. What makes it even weirder was that when I woke up, it felt like no time had passed at all. It was more like I remembered that I didn't remember it, y'know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demon_king 2013-08-14 12:03 am UTC (link)
	Oh. [He's thoughtful for a few beats. This is not the first time he's considered this.] I hope it's not like that when we actually leave here for good. I don't want to just forget everyone like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-08-14 05:15 pm UTC (link)
	Me neither... though I guess we wouldn't know if we did, huh? [ That's depressing. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demon_king 2013-08-17 03:13 pm UTC (link)
	...I guess not, but that doesn't really make it better. [At least not now in this moment.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-08-17 03:35 pm UTC (link)
	[ So depressing. We can't leave it like this. ] Y'know... even if we do forget, I don't think we really do. I mean, maybe we can't just drag up th' memory at will but I don't think any of that really goes away. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demon_king 2013-08-18 06:57 pm UTC (link)
	Really? Did it feel like that for you? [He wants to believe!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-08-20 11:51 am UTC (link)
	It's hard to say. Maybe we don't actively remember but... our hearts do. [ A beat. ] I'd like to think it's somethin' like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demon_king 2013-08-25 09:48 pm UTC (link)
	[He nods, wanting to believe it enough that maybe that's all he needs—the desire.] You're right. I'm sure you're right! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-08-28 01:44 pm UTC (link)
	[ Bringing back that smile! ] Yeah? I'm glad you think so! It's kinda... kinda reassuring, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demon_king 2013-08-30 11:45 pm UTC (link)
	It is. Whatever happens, we'll have that. [He hopes. And he smiles again.] And we still have Christmas today. That's something. Lots to do and celebrate, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-08-31 07:37 am UTC (link)
	Yep! Better make th' most of it while it lasts, right? Speaking of, I got some more gifts to deliver... but I'll see you around, yeah? Maybe you can come down to th' beach with me and Helix later? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
