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.

[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.]

	That just made it a whole lot harder... ain't too good with th' tech thing, to tell you th' truth. [ It kind of scares him. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, man, seriously? I can totally relate. I'm actually kind of surprised I haven't broken this thing yet... But you know what? It doesn't have to be tech. Any kind of present's great, since the thought's more important than the actual gift. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-08-13 07:13 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, that's what I'm thinkin' too. Back home we'd always give each other useful stuff... like, if I knew your gloves are gettin' old or you lost your scarf or somethin', I could give you a new one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Scarves are good! I don't know if we have a ton of those around here, since the weather's so warm usually. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm pretty sure I saw some when I was out earlier! Wouldn't surprise me if th' Wardens have stocked up for today. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	At least they're not purposefully trying to make our lives hell here. [Still bitter about his life sentence? Of course not.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-08-15 03:56 pm UTC (link)
	...They're not that bad actually, 's long as you're polite when you talk to 'em. I kinda think they're just doin' their job. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maybe, but I still don't trust them. I've been in a creepy prison like this before, man - and it almost didn't end well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-08-17 03:23 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah? What happened? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	killerspeed 2013-08-21 03:00 am UTC (link)
	I almost got brainwashed. By my freaking government. [This would explain 99.9% of his trust issues with the Wardens.] It's not gonna happen again if I can help it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-08-22 02:47 am UTC (link)
	Yikes... that's, uh. That's rough. [ Understatement of the year. ] So, uh... how did it go? I mean, what happened? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	killerspeed 2013-08-22 02:11 pm UTC (link)
	My friends bailed me out before it got too late. It just makes me wonder... sometimes, I mean... if this place isn't Creepy Prison 2.0. [It just hits him that he's being all serious and depressing on Christmas of all holidays. Bart forces a laugh.] But if it really were, they wouldn't be giving us Christmas, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-08-23 07:10 am UTC (link)
	I hope not. [ A little smile. It's not too convincing — he doesn't think the Wardens are too bad, all things considered, but he wouldn't bet his life on that they're not the villains in the play. ] Maybe your friends will be able to find you here too? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	killerspeed 2013-08-25 01:47 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe. It'd be the best Christmas present - though it'd suck if they got stuck here too. [He wrinkles his nose, having half-forgotten about the creepy Wardens.] I like them well enough, but misery doesn't always love company. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-08-28 01:46 pm UTC (link)
	I hear you there. I miss plenty of people from back home, but... not enough to wish this on 'em. I mean, I don't really mind it but... you know what I mean. (Reply to this) (Parent)
