She knew some of you. So, here's all I'm gonna say: Elena's gone. Nope, I'm not talking about it. Yes, I'm okay. And no, I don't need to be second guessed on it.

I do, however, have a hell of a stash of bourbon that's calling my name

Just a reminder that finals begin the 18th of this month, students of EPS.


[Kurt Wagner]

I'm wondering how stressed you are right now and what I can do to help.

[Teens, Laura, Ororo, and Remy]

Alright. Party details.

Night of the ball.
At the EPS school.
Fancy dress NOT required.

Questions?

[Filtered to anyone friendly with America Chavez]
Hi! Apparently I'm whatever a secret santa is for America Chavez. Please help! I don't know her. What things does she like?

[Filtered Away from Faith Lehane]
I've got quite a bit on my plate this year, what with making all the family and friends sweaters, the toy drive, and playing secret santa. That being said, I've been given the name Faith Lehane and I'm afraid I don't know this woman. What sort of things does she like so that I can offer a decent enough gift?

[Filtered Anyone who knows Tonks]
Hi! I'm new to this whole secret santa concept so I don't really have a clue what I'm doing. Apparently we're given a name of a person and we give them a gift? Well, I've been given the name of Tonks. I don't know who that is. Help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

CHARLES XAVIER:

Care to join me at the Winter Ball? I think we could all use the time to "let down our hair."

It's only funny because neither of us have hair.

:)

ANAKIN SKYWALKER:

Best friend, huh?

They say I'm out in a few hours. Guess I finally get to see this town in all its magical glory.

I heard something about a ball. To those hosting it, do you need any additional security?

Alright, like my brother mentioned last night, we are organizing a toy drive to benefit a few local non-profit groups and some families.

We have wishlist tags that are child-specific, with three items listed on each. We are also taking general donations for children ages 6 months-16 years, and gift cards for parents.

Wishlist pick-up/Toy Drop-Off Location: Pier 4, address. Johnny and I can also come to you if needed.
Deadline: December 20

All toys should be new and unwrapped. We have one person to help the two of us organize the gifts (thanks Max!) and could probably use at least one extra pair of hands, if not more. Monetary donations are accepted, but really we're looking for toys and clothing the kids can unwrap on Christmas morning. The money will be divided and given straight to the organizations, likely going to Christmas meals.

If you're unable to go to a store, that's fine. You can order items and have them shipped directly to us, just indicate whether it's for a specific child or not.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Help.

I have to say one of the biggest problems with America is the difficulty in sharing extremely specific Welsh jokes. There might be an entire two people who'll find this as funny as I do.

According to the local calendar, tomorrow is my birthday. But I had celebrated a birthday shortly before arriving here. Am I now a year older, or do I get to relive my 25th birthday?

This age is most intriguing with the inventions you humans have made.

Anyone out there good with cyborg limb upkeep?

EDIT: Got help, thanks!

Hi Secret Santa, I'm TJ! I'm a mutant, I like rock music, sunshine, clubbing, pretty things and climbing frames. My hands and feet are a funny shape so gloves and toe socks are not really a thing I do, and I have a bunch of physical therapy for muscle strengthening on my right side. My favourite Christmas food is gingerbread with plenty of ginger and my favourite Christmas activity is opening stockings in the morning. I would rather have a beach holiday than a mountain one, own a lizard than a snake, give up tv than junk food, be stranded on a desert island with someone I don't like than by myself, skip my birthday than Christmas, travel through space than underwater, sit with a resting lion for ten minutes than run across an alligator's back, live in an amusement park than a zoo, live in the future than the past, in the city than the country, wear a bathing suit everywhere I go than formal clothes, be a server than a chef, raise chickens for eggs than beef for meat, be a few inches tall than a giant, spend the rest of my life outside than inside, go back in time to prevent the 1929 stock market crash than to save the Titanic, and never touch an electronic device again than never touch another person again. And my favourite milkshake flavour is lime.

[ALICE QUINN]

I asked this Santa fool for my hands to cast magic again.

Is that stupid? Do you think it'll happen?

Filter: Henry Mills

Hey. It's a stupid question to ask if you're feeling okay,
probably. I'm sorry he's gone again.

Filter: Anakin Solo

Help.

TO THOSE INVITED TO THE WEDDING OF BETSY + WARREN ON DEC 31:

Hello everyone. You should have received your invitations by now, but I wanted to tack on a bit of information.

Warren and I have rented the entire Inn for three days before the wedding and three days after. Yes, the entire place. That means that you're all welcome to arrive at any point before then. You can come and make a full holiday of it, or you can simply show up for the wedding. Everything is always paid for.

As for traveling to and from, I've hired Eliot Waugh to create a doorway portal in the magic room at the EPS that will be activated during those days. It will be constant, so you can come and go as you chose.

I wanted to thank you all in advance for your presence, and we hope to make it as enjoyable for you as it is for us.

Who: Dick Grayson and Jason Todd
What: Sharing a quiet space
Where: Jason's
When: After Dick visits Wally in quarantine
Warnings: there may be a feeling
Status: in progress

[WIZARDING LADIES: Molly Weasley, Ginny Weasley, Emmeline Vance, Luna Lovegood, Lily Potter, Dorcas Meadows... and Petunia Dursely?? SURE. Also Meetra Surik]

I've come to the conclusion that I've put too much time and tears into the men in my life and think it's time for me to hang with the ladies.

Since the ball's coming up, why don't we teach each other to dance? I have two left feet. There should be alcohol involved.
