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.]

	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. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh! No, man, you don't have to.

[He'll up the filter just in case. It's not like this is a super-secret piece of information, but it'd ruin the surprise if everyone could see it.] I was just waiting for the last few people to sign up. It looks like we're done here, so you'll be snagging a present for Korra.

You need me to give you any information on her, or do you already happen to know her?

	Korra? I've seen her on the network a couple times. [Not that he's talked to her but she's a pretty energetic person so she stands out.] What kind of stuff do you think she likes? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She's not picky about gifts, but she's a huge fan of anything practical. I'd say something that could help her while she's working out could be good - like, I don't know, monogrammed towels or a water bottle or even a supply of fancy protein snacks.

If you want to go another route, she's huge into sports, so you could always grab a water gun or some kind of athletic equipment. Nothing too elaborate, obviously, but she'd be happy with any of it. [Is it a bit obvious that he likes her? Because he really didn't mean to talk this much about something as simple as a gift.]
