Yo fleeters -

Can I just say I'm like 95% relieved we left Planet Creeperfuck and its creepy as fuck messages behind? I say 95% because there's a legit 5% chance that the moment I relax will be the moment I get eaten.

I actually have a few other things to bring up except for alien movie tropes:

1. thumbs up to everyone who came to the winnsco halloween party. major thumbs up to those who stayed to help us clean up.

2. superheroes, enhanced humans, friendly, gorgeous alien ladies ( sup kara ) and other supereverythings - I have a bone to pick with you regarding a creepily fast hologram of a creepily fast creepily-everything speedster from my world. I want to make sure that if he comes here, we're not doomed so if you want to practice your moves, I'm your man.

regular humans are always invited but lemme tell you, it's pointless to shoot at a speedster and also I think hank has a rule about no bullets on our ship.

3. I have started preparing for my first ever Space Christmas. if you need twinkle lights or other engineered decorations, I'm at the blameless, you can come and order some. free of charge if your'e willing to help.

4. yes, there will be space engineered mistletoe. no, you don't get a choice where it goes. yes, I have spies everywhere. yes, it will give you a minor electric shock if you try to remove it. yes, I will know about it.

Maybe...either way it's giving me the creeps. Do you think this is elimination?

[ it's a reality show, right? maybe at the end of the year -- they clear the slate of people who aren't selling enough.

he nods, a little hopeful. yeah he wants to ask him about sascha but much as he cares for him - there's nothing he can do for him even if he is home.

no, he's asking in case kitty ever disappears. because if she's gone home she's dead, but if she goes anywhere else -- then he's going to try his hardest to follow and get her back. ]

I won't ask you to unless it's dire. [ he promises. only for those who are gone in their homeworld. ]

action;

[benames]

I think this is replacing the old with the new for the new year, disturbing as it might sound and it does.

[ what does it mean if they made it so far without being sent home? he's not sure. he isn't even sure if there is a meaning here. maybe the atroma just like making them paranoid. ]

I know. When you will, I'll go full vibe for you. Don't worry, dude. we got this.

action;

[winn]

Thanks, man.

[ he squeezes cisco's shoulder appreciatively. ]

I'd hug you but you're covered in lights, I dunno if you noticed - [ a sad attempt to lighten the conversation back up. is it working?

he's gonna keep trying to free his friend from the confines of holiday lights. ] Alright, what can I help with? We're putting these up in all the ships?

action;

[benames]

[ haha, LIGHTEN UP THE CONVERSATION, lights, get it? ]

Hey, when you're making Christmas decorations for a hundred or so people, these things are bound to happen, you know what I mean?

[ he finally manages to free his feet and stand up ]

ok so, how are we going to wrap our presents?

action;

[winn]

First I gotta finish making them - I've never had this many people to Christmas shop for, and now the shop is self-made.

[ yaiks. he is so gonna end up stressing out as christmas comes near. ]

But um, we can do functional wrapping - fabric that doubles as a thin blanket or new pillowcase or something?

action;

[benames]

Yeah, likewise. I'm hoping for a shopping area in our next stop. It's the least they can do after that creepy-ass planet. Maybe then I can buy some of them, I'm running out of ideas.

[ he hops over to his table ]

wanna see what I made for Hermione?

action;

[winn]

Hell yeah, show me! We should brainstorm, I'm running low too.

action;

[benames]

Ok so she likes to read, right? and she's super smart.

[ he takes out a big bag, takes out some gifts from it, none of them what he's looking for. there's a NO DIGGITY purple tshirt, two books and two lipsticks. finally, he takes what appears to be a lamp out and connects it to the ship's power source ]

what do you think!

action;

[winn]

That's awesome! [ leaning in for a closer look at the details ]

Dude, she's gonna love it.

action;

[benames]

It's not really romantic or anything but -

[ SHRUG ]

I have time until Valentine's Day to think of a romantic one.

action;

[winn]

One thing I learned from Kitty is the most romantic gifts are the ones that show you listen to her. Pretty much the reason she's with me is I gave her a slinky. This one's great.

action;

[benames]

Hey, I love slinkies. Those are good gifts.

[ and then he sits back, works more of the lights off ]

what are you getting her for Christmas?

action;

[winn]

I got a two-parter. Part one - I finally finished her supersuit. [ which she has no idea he's been working on. ] Came out really great. I stashed it behind the board in Discovery One if you wanna sneak a peak.

action;

[benames]

Uh, first thing first, duh.

[ of course he wants to see it, what sort of a nerdbro would he be if he didn't? ]

secondly, what's part two? do I - want to ask about part two?

action;

[winn]

[ he laughs ]

It's totally PG. She loves the Chicago Cubs so I made her a jersey for her birthday, and now I made me one.

action;

[benames]

...Matching clothes.

[ he has to chinhands ]

that's disgustingly adorable, I'm proud.

[ hand to heart. ]

action;

[winn]

Thank you, thank you. [ he takes a bow ] I try to push the envelope with our grossness, the ultimate goal is to be so disgusting this whole reality show thing gets dismantled.

action;

[benames]

That's a bit too much like the Hunger Games. Remember how that one ended?

[ a look ]

the odds are never in our favor.

action;

[winn]

That's what cheat codes are for.

action;

[benames]

-- Yeah I can see it.

[ fist bump ]

so what are you guys planning for Christmas? party? small party? dinner? date~?

action;

[winn]

[ fist bump ]

Haven't really planned much yet, I'm still buried in present-making. But I was thinking maybe something small on the Tourist, and then visiting everyone else. You got any thoughts?

action;

[benames]

I'm planning a party for the Blameless crew and plus ones. You should come, I'm trying to rope Hank into dressing like Santa.

[ s m i l e ]

action;

[winn]

Dude, of course I'm so in. And you should stop by the Tourist Christmas morning for pancakes and presents.

action;

[benames]

Christmas pancakes?

[ HELL YEAH ]

we gotta find a way to make some nog. It ain't Christmas without eggnog. Especially not after Barry introduced us all to grandma Esther's nog which I think is probably illegal in some states.

action;

[winn]

Dude - tell me you got the recipe -
