Day 226 | voice + closed action
Merry Christmas, everyone! I hope y'all are enjoying the snow and the amazing hot cocoa they've put out for us today, 'cause I certainly am.

So I know this is super last-minute, but we should do a "Secret Santa" gift exchange too. For those of you not from planet Earth, Secret Santa is this thing where we gather a group of people, randomly give each one a name, and y'all then have to buy that person a present. If that sounds like something y'all would be up for, let me know! The more people we can get for this, the better.

I'm still working on the logistics, so I can't exactly answer every question. I can, however, promise a ton of fun.

[action / closed to Wally, M'gann, Artemis, and Zatanna]
[Sometime later, Bart heads over to Wally's apartment with a couple of large gifts in tow. Family should stick together on Christmas, right? Even if he's not technically family yet. He doesn't know if he'll run into Wally's roommates, but he still felt kind of responsible for them. Sure, they could handle themselves. He didn't doubt that, but it was Christmas! Who was going to help them make dinner? Or decorate the tree? Or sing cheesy Christmas carols at the top of their lungs? They needed a cool uncle for some of that, didn't they?

Bart takes a deep breath before knocking on their door. It's funny, how he's so nervous about something this simple, but he can't help it. For the first time in years, he'll get to celebrate Christmas with family, and that's kind of fantastic.]

Sounds like fun! Why's it called "Secret Santa"?

Oh, 'cause the person that usually gives out gifts at Christmas is Santa Claus. Since you're not supposed to know who your gift-giver is, you're a secret gift-giver.

Thus, Secret Santa! It's kinda corny, but that's kind of what Christmas is all about.

[She just so happened to be home at the time a knock came at the door. Glancing up from the ongoing game of tug-o'-war she'd been playing with Robin Jr., she conceded this round to the dog in favor of answering.]

Far be it from be to turn away free stuff.

[Even if everything in marina was technically free. Shush.]

[She moves back a few paces, trying not to step on the little puppy who had waddled his way over to the new visitor with wide, curious eyes, and motions for him to come in.]


I'd say 'beware of dog', but the worst he'll do is probably lick your ankles. Hope you're not allergic.

You can probably drop that stuff right on the couch. Wally and the others should be back soon. I think he's stuck doing some last-minute shopping.

[Leave it to Wally to somehow always be the last one to arrive.]

There should be a time limit, yeah, but I'm honestly not sure beyond "it should probably be done before everyone forgets to." [Bart laughs sheepishly.]

If you can get it done today, that's fantastic, but I think tomorrow might work out better since this was really last minute.

Sounds cool to me. So should we be picking out the gifts first, then? It's not as easy to think of one when you don't know who you're getting it for, but that'll make it more of a challenge.

Depends on who you ask. [He doesn't mind curiosity! It's actually a bit refreshing.] Not everyone celebrated Christmas on Earth, but to those who do, it's the second-most important holiday of the year.

It's all about giving and goodwill, so it's fun to celebrate! Plus you get presents, so hey, why not?

I was not born on Earth.
