Who: Misty Day
Broadcast: Video
Action: Interfaith Center on the Iskaulit
When: Today, December 20

[The Interfaith Center has been a busy place lately, with everyone getting ready for the various holidays and solstices that roll around at this time of year. Misty is right in the thick of preparations and over the past couple of weeks she's been preparing a special surprise for the fleet: a Christmas tree! The little spindly evergreen sapling she obtained from the planet below has grown proud and straight and tall with vibrant green needles, thanks to her magic. She's very proud of her handiwork - if only Cordelia could see! But... she needs help with decorations. So she puts out a call to the fleet.]

Hey y'all, it's Misty!

[She beams into the camera, her face slightly too close to the lens, before turning her comm towards the tree, sitting in the Interfaith Center in all its bare glory.]

For those of you who celebrate Christmas, I got us a tree! And I figured it'd be fun to get together and decorate it! I don't have any lights or anything for it, but we can make our own ornaments, no problem. So I'll be hangin' around today and tomorrow if you want to stop by...

[She turns the camera back to herself.]

Oh and if you don't celebrate Christmas, but you got another holiday this time of year you need help decorating or cooking for, you can give me a call! I want this to be a good holiday season for everyone.

[ooc: feel free to use this as a mingle post for the Interfaith Center!]

[ Obi-Wan had missed the announcement so when he enters the Interfaith Center, he stares at the large tree standing there. ]

. . . Is this meant to be here?

[Misty is sitting cross-legged on one of the pillows, cheerfully making a mess as she cuts up paper to make snowflakes. She's humming a carol as she works. When Obi-Wan walks in she gives him that big smile of hers.]

It's a Christmas Tree!

[.... Misty this explains nothing.]

[ Obi-Wan waits. When nothing else is forthcoming, he asks again. ]

Which . . . is?

[mistyday]

You haven't learned about Christmas yet?

[She surprised, but excited by, this fact. It means she gets to tell him! She pats a cushion next to her.]

Sit down! I'll tell you all about it!

[ He's busy elsewhere, but all the same. ]

It really does look like it's from home. That's a nice change.

[mistyday]

Oh, thank you! Are you gonna come help decorate?

[frigidaire]

Uh, I guess I can if you need help. Not much else to do around here, I guess. I don't have anything to decorate with, though.

[mistyday]

That's okay, we'll make do with what we have!

[Really, that's always how her Christmases have been - not too many store bought decorations at her house.]

Wow, it looks incredible! Where did you find a real tree?

Video

[mistyday]

I grew it myself!

Video

[save_the_souls]

[!]

What? Really?

I thought they took years to grow!

Video

[mistyday]

Well, normally they do, but I made special potions to help it grow!

And what is the significance of the tree, my friend?

video

[mistyday]

It's an evergreen so its leaves never fall off so it reminds us of everlasting life and reminds us that spring will come again.

[bythewaves]

I see! A good idea. Very hobbitish. What sort of decorations do you use?

video

[mistyday]

Lots of stuff - garlands and tinsel and candy canes and ornaments and lights and then at the top you put a star or an angel!

[interstices]

It's pretty.

[It's nostalgic for something she never really saw in real life. Asuka pauses, and then adds--]

I don't have anything for it.

video

[mistyday]

That's okay! You can come help me make snowflakes, if you want!

video

[interstices]

With what? Paper?

[ video ]

[deviances]

I'm hearin' a lot about this chris-thing... still not sure what it's about, but it seems like a good time.

Want help puttin' things together? Not sure what all goes with your tree, but if it's more than just a tree, I think maybe I can help?

[ video ]

[mistyday]

Yes! And then I can tell you all about Christmas!

[ video ]

[deviances]

Then I'll be right over. [ He grins, excited already. ] Need me to bring somethin' or should I just show right up?

[reconstitution]

It's a nice tree. Been a while since I've seen one.

[mistyday]

You should come see it in person then!

[reconstitution]

Maybe I will. I don't have much to offer by way of decoration, though.
