I was in a food coma after that meal, so I can't remember if I said thanks or not...so just in case, thanks for having me over. It was fun.

[Pyro]

What are you up to later?

[The 12th Doctor]

Hey, are you too busy to read a thing I wrote for my creative writing class?

[Ellie]
I've some business to take care of in New York this weekend. I'll be gone Friday night into Saturday. Back either Saturday evening or Sunday morning. I'll probably have a few more of these over the course of the next month or two. Would you like to stay by yourself at the hotel, stay at my room in the mansion, or come with me? I'll be busy at least some of the time, so you'll have to keep yourself entertained while I'm away if you travel with me.

[America]
I need your services Friday and Saturday. I'll pay handsomely.

[Rogue, younger]
I'm having a house made. It won't be ready until early 2018, but I was wondering if you'd like to claim one of the spare rooms. I realize you do have a room of your own already, but I thought it might be an option to consider. If you're interested, I'd ask that you keep the space clean and not tell anyone where it is without clearing it with me first. There are some people who would do me harm that I'd like to avoid. Let me know whatever you decide.

[Albus]
Hello, Albus. I was wondering if you might have some time in the next few weeks to discuss some magic services I'm in need of. I know that you were the one Rogue and Erik turned to for their home and I was wondering if you might be willing to do similar for mine when it's done. I'd pay for the trouble, of course.

[Inuyasha]
Any better today?

The Doctor has been exhibiting some rather peculiar signs of memory loss. More than just the unfortunately reoccurring one concerning you. He's told me about the neural block before, but I thought maybe you could shed a more detailed light on the process? Of course, there could be other reasons for his recent forgetfulness, but a complication with the neural block seems like the most obvious explanation.

It appears there may be a spot of trouble in the works with your Scrooge. He has been having trouble remembering things, mostly trivial in nature, but alarming all the same. I don't know how it might affect his role in your play, but I thought I ought to forewarn you.

[Private to Rose Tyler and River Song]

Hey, I'm going to need some help putting up a Christmas tree for 221b. That includes buying the tree and all the lights and ornaments.

MOLLY WEASLEY

Can I treat you to dinner tonight, Mum?

SNOW WHITE

Snow.

Since we've done Thanksgiving and it's almost December it's about time to bring back Secret Santa, I think. We did it last year but for the new people who don't know, December 25 is Christmas which is usually celebrating by gift giving. The patron saint of the holiday is St Nicholas aka Santa Claus, who brings gifts for children. (Spoilers: those presents are actually bought by their parents.) A Secret Santa is a gift exchange where everyone who participates gets the name of one other person and anonymously buys that person a present. So everyone gets one, but they don't know who it's from unless that person chooses to tell them. It's fun and a lot of workplaces or families do it to cut down on everyone having to buy presents for everyone else and spending all their money.

If you want to play, leave a comment or email me [ooc:you can just send me a list of characters if you don't want to comment for everyone]. On December 3 (next Monday) I'll do the assignments and tell you who you're buying for. Get your present to me by 5.30pm December 19 (a Wednesday) and I'll deliver them all.

If anyone disappears before the 19th, I'll jump in to make sure no one misses out, and in case I disappear I'll leave the list with a couple other people so they can handle it. If we get taken to another universe... I've got no fix for that, so let's hope we don't.

So to repeat important dates:

Sign up by December 3
Get a present to me by December 19

[BUFFY SUMMERS]

I... did some research after you talked to me about Sunnydale being a crater. I'm sorry I didn't just ask, but I thought it might be hard for you. And I kind of wish I wasn't messaging you like this, but it's hard to tell you in person.

I know what happens to me. And Willow, after.

Willow's just now getting into magic, and I want to try and steer her away from using it to manipulate people. I want to prevent Dark Willow.

And... I'm sorry we brought you back. I mean, I'm not sorry we had you, but I'm sorry if we pulled you away from something beautiful.

[ FILTERED TO BETSY BRADDOCK ]
I need a day or two before our next session, this last one was pretty rough. Do you think we can pick this up on Wednesday?

[ FILTERED TO STEVE ROGERS ]
Hey, meet me at the Inn. You're helping me move to my new place and then you're going to feed me.

[ FILTERED TO THOR ODINSON ]
You up for a stakeout tomorrow night, big guy? I think I got a lead on the fight club business.

Harry Potter

Can I ask you something?

WARREN WORTHINGTON III:

Having second thoughts yet?

[Private to Caroline Forbes]

We've got a huge problem. For personal reasons, the Doctor has to step down from his role as Scrooge. You auditioned for the role, do you think you can step up and take the Doctor's place? You've been to all the rehearsals, you already have an idea of Scrooge's lines and blocking. And Kitty will take your place in the play.

What do you say?

Let us talk of the excessive amounts of fake snow in the nativity decorations in front of the Tumbleweed Hotel. Because religious questions aside, I am rather curious what they think the climate of Jerusalem is.

You should have come.

I think I have enough to pay for even science textbooks next semester.
