Who: Kai and Open! Multiples okay! When: 9 AMish Where:Christmas Central Foyer
Kai had been having trouble sleeping for days now. Her sleep wasn't very restless, she'd constantly doze and dart awake, afraid she was about to be moved. At some point in the late hours she'd fallen into a deeper sleep, her eyes eventually darting open again after 9. She was still in the living room - a room flooded with light. Kai let out a huge sigh of relief; it felt as though she'd been holding her breath for days and she was finally able to let it go. She got up and wrapped her blanket around her shoulders, the ends of the fabric dragging on the ground as she headed out into the foyer. She stopped in her tracks there, looking up at the huge tree. She probably stayed that way for a good thirty seconds before taking a good look around the room.
There were boxes everywhere. Someone had apparently opened a couple and peaked inside, and Kai headed over to one of the open boxes to peer inside. The box was huge, and came up to her chest. Inside were dozens - no, hundreds - of Christmas ornaments. Kai gasped. The idea that this was entirely inappropriate in their current situation never even passed her mind. They were going to get to celebrate Christmas? She'd always been so disappointed she'd missed the Halloween party, but Christmas? Dropping her blanket to the floor, Kai began racing around the room and ripping into boxes. When she found one with Christmas lights - scores and scores of Christmas lights, in every shape and color! - she pushed hard until the box tipped over. She plopped onto her knees to sort through until she found a night multicolor strand, and then looked up at the tree.
