Oh, champagne robot. I missed you.

Hey guys, I think the Santa letters are definitely real. The last night of Hanukkah, I got the things I asked for. Rogue did too but So far, no Be Careful What You Wish For trope to go along with it, but I didn't ask for anything super out of the ordinary. Just a picture, a necklace, and a pillow.

I haven't actually had the opportunity to read Great Expectations before, so this will be a special treat. Thank you very much, Santa.

PETUNIA DURSLEY

Would you like to come have a cup of cocoa some evening this week? My Secret Santa gave me some delicious chocolate. Are you planning to---

WHO: Patty Spivot and Ray Palmer
WHAT: it's a date!
WHEN: Wednesday night
WHERE: some local Italian place
WARNINGS: none at the moment
STATUS: Closed/incomplete


( It had been a while since Patty even thought about dating... )

Do most people celebrate the holidays from this world, or did you have different ones at home? Seems like there's a lot of stuff that's similar.

Well, I didn't get a baby chocobo. Or a kitten, or a puppy. But I did get enough money to get fifty a fuzzy companion.

Perhaps this Santa person truly does exist. I've received a bottle of Argonian bloodwine as requested.

Did you receive what you asked for on that Santa list?

Happy Yule!

I received my Doll's Eye Crystal which I gave Willow when we first started dating and Miss Kitty Fantastico!

( not an IC cut )

Santa is magic and real!

Also, thank you to my Secret Santa! How did you know I was a vegetarian? And the tea infuser is SOOOO CUTE.

I'd like to apologize for the display yesterday. And any thunder that came at night.

Onto better things, I received the gifts I asked for. My helmet, Jarnbjorn (a weapon I used before Odin gave me Mjolnir, I hope she doesn't get jealous), and pictures of my family. Loki and Torunn, you'll want to see these.

Before I forget:

:D

I think everyone is right about those letters being real. I received everything I asked for.

Happy Solstice and Saturnalia to all!

I did not expect those letters to work. I am forever grateful that it gave me my picture. The car is nice too.

So I'd been thinking.

What if we just elope?

[Rick Jones]

What do you like better? Cats or Labyrinth? Also. Chocolate.

A thank you to everyone who helped out with the toy drive either by donating toys, gift cards, or money or other items or helping us organize everything. Or both! Everything was dropped off today and there's a lot of families who will be having a very happy holiday.

WHO: Everyyyyyyyyyone
WHEN: Whenever
WHERE: Wherever
WHAT: We're meant to be together. No, but seriously. Do your gifts here. Keep them all in one nice little place!
WARNINGS: Man, I hope not.

( Holiday gifts. )

I'm going to take Fenrir out for a bit. It's always nice to see an old friend.

Did anyone else not get what they asked for on their Santa wishlist, or is it just me? I haven't gotten anything at all from that.

I did get my Secret Santa gift, and it's hilarious. Thank you, Secret Santa! You're doing better than regular Santa, so far (I'm holding out hope yet, though! Come through for me, Santa).

Dr. Murphy,


I am seeking surgical assistance. My friend, Dr. Aphra, identified you as a skilled surgeon among the "displaced." The type of work needed isn't found in this world, so we can't readily turn to a local doctor. Are you available for performing surgeries here?

I've noticed that there are some sort of medical facilities here in the mansion, but I don't know exactly who is qualified to use them. My friend Dr. Aphra and I need a surgeon to assist with my prosthetic arm. She can handle the cybernetics, but the surgical aspect needs someone experienced. We can't involve the local hospital since the technology doesn't exist here. Is this something one of you is capable of, or do you know someone who can? It has to be "off the books".

[TRIGGER WARNING: Medical in comments]

I'm still not quite familiar with this world's customs or legends, but this was a nice change from flying monkeys and gremlins.

I thought you'd like to know we now have a very comfortable bed. It seems to deflect this warm temperature as well.
This Santa person really pulled through. I've also now got some new clothes more befitting to this world and a bottle of Black-Briar Reserve.

Who else got a "Merlin's Beard"-inducing supply of Honeydukes sweets?

Santa is on his A-game. That's how the Muggles say it, right?

Sweet mother of Saint Vladimir, there is a freaking JURA coffee maker sitting on my counter.
I was slightly joking about that when those "letters from Santa" came out but it is HERE and I'm not going to sleep for the next few days, am I?

Also, I have a cat now. She's fluffy, grey, and basically perfect. And also giving me a shoulder massage with her paws. Be jealous.
