I do so love Christmastime! Such a festive time of year.

Would anyone like to help me decorate my hat~? ♥ I do believe it should reflect the joyous atmosphere.

Oh my god! Is this snow?

Is this jail?

Is this place on Earth?

Whew. All these questions are making my head hurt. I guess I have plenty of time to figure them out though!

I just have one question that I'd like answered here pretty soon, isn't the whole ball and chain thing a little excessive?

[Al was excited for the snow and he still is, although not as enthused about it at first because of the whole black out thing. Once he got outside though, he's been all smiles.

He's made two snowmen who are right next to each other, their heads pressed together. One has a little antenna sticking out of its head and the other has a snow dog sitting next to it.

Al's giggling so hard he can hardly speak but he manages to get out at least one sentence.]

Look, they're kissing!

[He knows there's a good chance he might be killed for this by two certain someones but he couldn't resist.]

[Bundled up in her winter gear, Yuuki stands with her hood up, standing outside of her apartment on the lawn. Close to her is a  snowman, credited to her. After the worry of the past couple of days, it felt good to do something so simple. It's obvious she'd been working on it for quite a while. It's finished now, though.

She gives a small sigh. She's not really ready to go in yet. There's a lot of snow...and it would be a waste to just go inside, even if hot chocolate would be waiting for her. That could always be put off for just a little while. Reaching down, she gathers a bunch of snow into her gloved hands, gently patting it together...

Before it soars across the the lawn, hitting the the blonde-haired vampire with her in the back of the head. Okay...maybe she hadn't meant to actually hit him in the he head, but...]

Ku..kuku..

[Turning around, she buries her mouth into the back of her hand, trying her best not to laugh aloud. Very seriously...]

Oh my...the snowflakes suddenly seem a lot more heavy...

[ so full of pizza... might have to roll out of here ]

Lelouch, where are you?

[After tromping around in the snow and trying to make Al deeply regret broadcasting that image of his little snow replicas to the entire prison, Ed's gotten exhausted. If running around chasing Al in the snow hadn't been tiring enough, it had taken a whole other kind of energy to try to suppress the color in his face. And to make matters worse, he hadn't exactly succeeded in that particular endeavor. So he simply heads back inside after a while. He probably just needs to calm down some, put all the shenanigans out of his mind for a while, settle down with a book while he gets warmed up in the common area.]

[He wipes his good hand down his face as he steps into the common area. He's really hoping it's empty. But if anyone asks why he's still a bit red, he can blame it on being out in the cold for so long. There's no reason for him to be blushing, after all. No reason at all.]

[The feed is fuzzy at first, the only sound discernible is a whole lot of swearing. Then the image clears, revealing a rather pretty young woman, irritated beyond belief.]

Huh. You'd think that saving the world would give me a get-out-of-jail-free card.

I have to hand it the jail warden though, this is a pretty concise list compared to my last one. I mean seriously, attempted apocalypse? There's a law against that one now?

[She gives a tiny, ironic laugh before turning her attentions to the communicator.]

Alright then, let's get along. Someone care to show the rookie the ropes? ...And how to get this fucking ball off my leg?

[[slightly backdated]]

Um...

I probably should've done this earlier, but...I wanted to apologize. To anyone who was worried about me the other day...

...I'm sorry.

...Gino. I accept your proposal.

...and Lelouch, if you aren't too busy...I'd like to talk.

AH HA! [You might hear subtle hints of things exploding in the background—small things! It's really more like popping. Nothing at all to concern yourself with!]

Now that the prototype is done, I'd like to—what was that phrasing again? Ah yes!—wish you all a Merry Christmas. My gifts for everyone should be making their way around.

((OOC: See this post for details on the randomized kissing couples and how Mistletoe-kun operates. Feel free to comment here directly to Anissina or to play out your random kissing—just make it clear in the subject please!))

[After spending most of the morning in the hospital, Len could be found in the roof of one of the buildings nearby it, a small one, so anyone walking nearby could talk to him. He didn't mind the cold, he was just waiting. He had lost Rin again... and he hoped that she would come back soon. Their birthday was getting closer, and he didn't want to spend another one without his sister.

So he will just wait and look from the building, hoping to see a blond head walking in the snow.]

...If anyone sees Rin, please tell me.

[because Lelouch is too cool for group kiss threads, he's in a common room (still) in front of his chess board, playing with the black king idly in his hand and studying the reset board]

[private]
Angelina? I was wondering if you were doing anything this afternoon, or if you had the time for a friendly game.

[he'll be hanging out here, by the chessboard or messing around in the kitchen making lunch, for anyone who feels like molesting him -- literally or otherwise]

[After getting the message and waking up here, at first, he felt extremely anxious and upset. He hates closed in areas like this one. After he's calmed down he decides to try to make contact with the others. He doesn't like this ball-and-chain treatment but there's nothing he can do. He feels oddly weak and lightheaded at the moment. He's pieced together trying to escape would be stupid without a plan too.]

Hello...? What...what's going on? I don't know how I got here... and I know I can't possibly be on Gaia. I've never even heard of this place. I just hope that no one else I know got captured too. I'm not a criminal -- everything that happened had to happen; even if it's not how everyone wanted.
