Who: Allen Walker & You
Broadcast: Accidental Video
Action: SS Blue Fish and stuff delivered to other Three Twins, Pathstone, Tourist and Bloodsport.
When: Christmas Eve

[Action: Locked to SS Blue Fish]

[While they may not see Allen in particular, either today or on Christmas day, the crew will find packages in areas in their stations, crudely wrapped in paper found off the planet with twine (what there's no wrapping paper). Attached is a note, written in Allen's rough, but readable handwriting)]

Merry Christmas!
I'm not sure if your worlds celebrate Christmas,
but it's an important holiday where I'm from, so
I felt it was right to give gifts all the same.
I hope you enjoy it!

- Allen

[Inside the package is surprise: Food. Spiced meats, cheese and some sweets he found on the planet. Because honestly, he felt that was the best gift he could ever give you guys]

Action Locked to SS Pathstone, SS Three Twins, SS Tourist and SS Bloodsport]

[Much like his own crew, Allen thought it fit to spend what money he had earned getting gifts for the people he's met in the fleet (and their crews). Because hey, he makes a lot of money cheating at cards and you know, it's Christmas.]

[And so during the next few days, packages will be delivered to each of the respected ships:]

[SS Pathstone: Emblica will get a wrapped package with her name on it, with various types of unique foods he's found on the planet, as well as a list of recipes (with a note for your friend). There will be a plainer wrapped package for Crowley, with no return name on it so Crowley can pretend otherwise- with surprise, alcohol and cigarettes in it. For the rest of the crew, they'll get assorted sweets and non-perishable (but real) food.]

[SS Three Twins: Ino will get a wrapped package that has a blanket made out of polar bear fur, and some ostrich leather gloves that have been dyed purple. For the rest of the crew, they'll get assorted sweets and non-perishable (but real) food.]

[SS Tourist: Tsuna will get a wrapped package with a warm coat made for his size made ostrich leather. For the rest of the crew, they'll get assorted sweets and non-perishable (but real) food.]

[SS Bloodsport: Since he knows Robin and Riku but not very well (and Rin, though she doesn't remember), he'll send a package of assorted sweets, non-perishable food and alcohol to share among the entire crew.]

[Accidental Video; Public on the Network]

[Later after all the gift giving is over with, Allen's communicator will turn out without him noticing while he's working in the clinic- as usual. It's not that he has anything to get done really, he just likes to keep busy during this time of year. He seems to be talking to himself and unaware that the communicator is on.]

I still can't believe it's Christmas already...[Muttered] Maybe it's because I haven't been forced to kiss anyone this year. [A click of his tongue and he shakes his head]

Twenty-three years....it doesn't feel it...I-

[He pauses, and tapping his pen, looking around and sighing]

It just isn't the same without Timcanpy to talk to.

What's "Kriss-muss"?

[Allen is startled because he wasn't expecting to hear a response. He turns and spots the communicator, which is displaying Lloyd's face]

[Figures]

Christmas. It's a holiday.

[idealistic]

That's what I said. [ god Allen. ]

But what is it? And what does kissing people have to do with it?

Action - Blue Fish

[alwayscomeback]

[There is no Christmas in Avatar Land, but Sokka opens his parcel carefully regardless, beaming at the contents.]

Oh hey, food! I can be behind any holiday with free food.

[He'll hunt Allen down anyway, because you thank people for giving you free food. It's the done thing.]

Action - Blue Fish

[save_the_souls]

[Yeah he kinda figured you'd be down with anything with food! He can be found in his lab, doing...all sorts of odd jobs he can think of. When he sees his captain enter, he smiles]

Hello Sokka!

[alwayscomeback]

[Sokka knows what's important in life, after all. He gives Allen a little wave.]

Hey, Allen. Wanted to thank you for the free grub. I uh...don't have that Cuhristmass thing back home, so I'm not sure if I give you something too or...what. But thanks, anyway.

[No mention is made of the gift. It's as if it never happened. They have this down to a fine art.]

I honestly miss it. It was the high point of my year. No betting pools or anything, now.

Video

[save_the_souls]

[Exactly man. Exactly]

...Ugh. I had forgotten about your betting pool.

[SO GROSS]

[onlyanapple]

[He sounds genuinely hurt, of course, chances are he's just fucking with him.]

How could you? It was a tradition, and it was a good one, too.

[parricida]

Now, are we supposed to ask whom Timcanpy is, or what Christmas is? I'm not particularly familiar with being the star of entertainment, so you'll have to forgive my not being particularly well-versed in how to go about this.

[Wow, somebody's pissy.]

[save_the_souls]

[Wow so pissy. He groans and rubs his forehead]

You're not supposed to do anything, sir. The recording device on this stupid thing seemed to turn on on it's own.

[parricida]

Mmhmm. And yet, since it's probably less to do with your device and more to do with our captors, I assume we're supposed to chat in an entertaining fashion.

[not_mafia]

Ehh, this coat is so warm! Thank you, Allen! If only I knew I was getting it... [he would've waited to brave Snow Planet LMAO]

Ah, I know what you mean... I don't have Natsu with me, either. I hope they're both alright.

Video

[save_the_souls]

I'm glad you like it, Tsuna! [And he heard that muttering] Eh? Do you mean you bought a coat already?

Oh, you mean your lion? [That...strange, strange lion] I hope he's alright too.

Video

[not_mafia]

Ah, no, but I went out... It was freezing.

Mmn, yeah. I've never... not had him before. [It's weird, and kind of lonely. :(]

action igss??

[amarant]

[ She'll end up finding Allen, somewhere. They're all hanging around the same planet, it can't be that difficult...maybe. Well, even if it is, it's worth hunting him down. It's been a long time since she's gotten a gift, much less one that's so thoughtful. ]

Allen-- I wanted to thank you for the gift...I didn't realize it was a holiday, but if I could return the favor, I'd appreciate it.

action!

[save_the_souls]

[Let's just say he was in a diner like place, getting some food and sitting by the window. When she comes in, he smiles at her]

Emblica!

Ah- don't worry! I know there's a lot of worlds that don't celebrate...it just felt odd not doing anything for it. [Plus it was a nice distraction]

And you don't have to return the favor- it was a gift! It made me happy to give it.

Did you like it?

[amarant]

[ This works! ]

If it's a holiday for gift-giving, it'd only be right, wouldn't it?

[ She does, after all, feel kind of weird about just getting a gift without giving one in exchange. ]

I do appreciate it, though. It was very thoughtful of you.

[ She doesn't even mean that in the "oh thanks grandma i love this ugly sweater" way, but she really is thankful. ;; ]

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[he... well, he could ask a lot of questions, but...]

Psst, Allen. Your video's on.

voice

[save_the_souls]

[He sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose]

Thank you, Robin. But I'm afraid your warning came too late.

voice

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[he laughs a little, oddly.]

Can't say I didn't try. While I'm here, though, I've got a question for you...?

Video

[goldenglasses]

[Oh, Vash found the food that was left for him. It was unexpected so at first he was suspicious, but once he read the tag left on it he didn't waste any time sampling the goods.

And man, was it good to have real food again.

After he's eaten almost all of his share he'll be trying to reach Allen on the communicators.]


Mmmhmm! Danke-danke for the gift! It was perfect! I just feel bad that I didn't think to get you anything in return! [As it really wasn't expected, but oh how he loves it.]

Video

[save_the_souls]

[He smiles. This must be one of his friends crewmates.]

You're welcome! I'm glad you liked it!

And don't worry about that! I know most worlds don't celebrate Christmas.

Video

[goldenglasses]

Mhmm! I did! A lot! Very tasty! It was so much better than that stuff you can find in the kitchen!

And I wish my world would celebrate Christmas more! It's a great holiday!
