[quote=@Kaithas] Lighter note, I came across an old Amy thing from last Christmas. [hider=BASL Christmas Thing also known as Kaithas got bored] It was dark. Really dark, actually, dark enough even Amy’s eyes were having trouble adjusting—until she fumbled in the darkness and turned the power strip on, the tree lighting up in its full festive glory. She smiled slightly, readjusting the Santa hat over her crimson spikes and feathers, taking a second to breathe in the scent of pine needles, then putting her presents under the tree. First was a package for Ben, the wrapping crinkling when the soft object it contained shifted and hit the ground. She didn’t honestly know what to get him, so she’d taken her best shot. It was a pillow, actually, something she figured he’d get a lot of use out of, and she’d stitched cloth cutouts of each of their emblems onto it, along with their names. She’d also embroidered “Cap’s” on the tag rather messily, but… So she wasn’t the best seamstress in the word. Sue her. She sure as hell wasn’t going to ask anyone to help, not when she could at least do part of it on her own. On the other hand, she had to get assistance with Sangue’s present, because she had no clue how to do what needed to be done. To his credit, Ni hadn’t been particularly obstinate when she asked him to do the modifications she needed, despite his reputation for being one of the most stubborn teachers at Beacon. Sangue’s gift was all 5 main series Metal Gear Solid games, with Snake replaced with Sangue. Ni pulled it off fairly well… And way too quickly, she thought, frowning. Almost like he spent a lot of his free time doing that exact thing with characters. She shrugged and sighed, putting the set of five wrapped packages for Sangue under the tree. She had gifts for Luke, Napoli, Gratia, and Emerald as well, but… They weren’t part of Bastille, and somehow it didn’t feel quite right putting them with the others. Besides, this way she got to have two Christmases and not just one. Gratia was simple, Amy’d seen her staring at Luke’s hair enough to bribe Ni into making a program for her, and the flash drive for Ahoge Simulator V1.0 was wrapped up in her closet, along with the LifeAlert button she’d bought, scraped off “Life”, and inscribed “Gratia” on for Napoli. Emerald’s present was a set of dual ear muffs, one set for her cat ears and the other for her human set. Luke was quite a bit harder to come up with, especially since most of her gift ideas for him crossed some boundaries, but she’d eventually settled on two gift cards, one for the movies and one for the best restaurant she could think of, with a card that said “For you and Cian. Get together, dammit.” Amy stood straight, looking at the tree with her arms crossed under her chest, wearing one sleeve of the Fury, sighing. It still looked fairly empty under there, but she supposed with only the four of them there weren’t likely to be many presents. Especially given her gift for Lauren. She didn’t know exactly how she could possibly put a— “You’re missing a present there, Desire,” she heard a familiar voice say from behind her. Amy smirked, then put on a shocked expression to feign that she hadn’t heard Lauren stir and walk into their main living area. She turned, bathed in the flickering light of the tree, and smiled. “Nah, I see presents for all three of you,” she said, then held one gauntleted finger to Lauren’s lips, hushing her before she could respond and smirking.[/hider] [/quote] That was actually kind of adorable. Too bad it's June now, if it was Christmas I could see someone doing a contest where everyone had to write what their character would get for everyone else's character.
