Repose

[Locked to Claire J]
Sorry I didn't respond right off. I wasn't round.

[Locked to Louis D]
Sorry, honey, I missed you talking first off.

[Locked to Janus A]
You known all this time?

Hey. Long time no talk.

Anyone have any advice for what to do when you feel pretty depressed and don't see a way out? Please don't tell me to take a bath or listen to Enya, self-care isn't really cutting it.

[Group: Adrian M, Hannah S., Claire J., Pippin P., Charlie P., Dietre A., Noah N, Patrick G, Bea H., Jamie M., Tandy B., Ronan X., Archie W.]

I'm guessing most of you have plans for New Years already, but if you don't, I've got a new festive apartment, and I'm gonna have beer, and music, and probably really terrible appetizers, and if any of that sounds better than your current plans, come, bring a friend, I won't turn anyone away until we don't fit in the apartment anymore.

[Adrian M.]

Your poster has a place of honor over my sofa, cause damn if that didn't make me laugh.

Thanks.

[Per her wish, Santa asks for one good day for every inhabitant of the town. A day when things go well, when the town is safe, when happiness might actually be possible.

There's no way to tell when it's going to happen, but this Santa does leave a batch of strange cookies for Claire. They're covered in green sprinkles and they're shaped like dollar signs.]

[Sadie M]

Damian invited us to come over on Christmas, at 2.

[Claire J]
[After some hesitation.]

Hi. Merry Christmas.

[Claire, Damian, Dietre, Destiny, Holly, Louis, Misha, Newt, Patrick and... Noah.]

[After this.

A formal invitation to a Christmas Eve dinner at the music shop. Daniel writes these by hand, in ink, on heavy paper. There's a wax seal, too.]

[Janus]
So sweetheart, what am I getting you for this holiday I don't celebrate in the spirit it's meant to be celebrated?

[Claire]
I am assuming that you have plans for next week. But I'd still like to get you a gift.

[Rory]
[Teasing.] Chewtoys or alcohol for the not-my-holiday?

[Hannah S]
You going to tell me what you want for Christmas, love?


[Claire J]
Have you eaten yourself to death via gingerbread houses yet?


[Lucifer M]
Sore time of year?

[LATER:]

[Jamie M]
Hi, kid.

[Si M, after this]
You and I should talk.

[Charlie P]

We need to hang out and not have any crazy shit happen.

[Ren S]

Please ask Santa for a unicorn.

[Claire J]

How's the holiday season going?

[Public]

Who's asking Santa for something weird?

[Cast & Crew of Glass Menagerie]

I just wanted to say thanks to each and everyone of you for putting in all the work, and your enthusiasm with the show and all. I've had this crazy live theatre in Repose dream since I got here, and you all helped make it a thing. So. Thanks.

[Claire Johnson]

I had this realization the other day I don't know if I've been the best friend this year, so I'm sorry, and I have a couch now, so we could watch Christmas movies on a real couch, sometime, if you want.

[Adrian March]

I'm pretty certain I could work on improving my everything right now, so maybe let's start with thanks for the costumes, and sorry I've been kinda incommunicado the past few weeks, but it seems like you're looking good. Are things good?

[Hannah Smith]

So, my shitty realization of the week was that I basically have the same want I had last Christmas, and it's probably in everyone's best interest if I don't ask for it.

How's your week been?

[Patrick G]

Are you and Newt decorating the house this year?

[Charlie P]

[She calls. Ring, ring.]

[Adrian M]

Santa treating you well?

[Public]

I'm going to put together a little bake sale, with the proceeds going to the animal shelter. Let me know if you'd like to participate.

So, about this thing.

WHO: The cast and crew of The Glass Menagerie
WHEN: During the last few weeks of rehearsals.
WHAT: Rehearsals & stuffs.

( The plays the thing )

I'd like to lodge a complaint. If someone shoves a religious pamphlet down the front of your shirt and declares that you "Need Jesus," I'm relatively confident that is less than kosher with the law, and also a very bad impression to give a newcomer. I should at least be permitted to speak to the local tourism board.

[Janus A]
So, there is a situation.

[Daniel W]
[...] How are you feeling? Stronger?

[Leo B]
Are you alright? I know I have not been around much. I am sorry.

[David P]
Everything go okay for you?

[Locked to Sadie M]
Sadie, honey, you check in some.

[Locked to Janus A]
Janus? You fare fine?

[Locked to Claire J]
Claire?

[Mental, to that annoying, persistent presence]
You planning on going ever?

[After consideration.]

Father. Are you still going to set aside a day for my sins?

[Public]
To the man at the bonfire with the sick girl, thank you. You were really, really nice.

[Locked to Rory B]
Rory? Did you dance with anyone?

[Locked to Ren S]
Ren? Are you okay?

[Locked to Claire J]
Was it better than ours?

[And just in case she doesn't hit Jamie's lock soon.]
[Locked to Mars M]
Just tell me you're okay when you can, Mars. Please?

[Add on, when he doesn't hit Jamie's post in a timely manner.]
[Locked to David P]
David? Are you okay?

[Newt & Pat]
I don't think I was in the right mind to tell you both so before, but thank you.

[Scully]
Do you have any scientific findings to report, Scully? I'd appreciate some right about now.

In gloom, Mulder

[Daniel W]
I'm out. I've been out a lot, but I'll be back around tonight. Are you alright? I'm picking up a few things, a couple boxes of wine and some nachos. Can I bring you anything? An extra box of wine with your name on it?

[Billy]
Obligatory big sister check-in asking who you fucked this time. I'm envisioning a hunky Santa. Or Kurt Russell in a hunky Santa costume. Cheer me up with the dirty details please. But mostly tell me you're okay.

[Marta F]
I haven't abandoned the house entirely, I promise. We can have a girly sleepover once I stop being a magical mass murderer. Also, are you good?

[Connie G]
Hi. I never get to see you anymore. I feel like I need to start asking now to make plans three weeks from now so, do you have any plans for Thanksgiving?

[Hannah S]
Are you still staying in the village? I came through earlier this week but didn't get a chance to see you if you were.

ETA: [Holly W, thoughtfully added.]
It's time for me to return the favor and see if you need anything?
