@Loony@Raijinslayer "Don't worry Gilles, I'll buy you some time!" Spinel goes Little Ghost Gem mode and turns invisible, sneaks up behind Reggie and very earnestly shouts "Boo!"
@Raijinslayer@Loony In spite of being rather bad at emotion, Spinel tries to show solidarity with the humans by forcing some of the most fake sounding laughter ever. "HA. HA HA HA. HA."
@Raijinslayer@Loony@Akayaofthemoon "It's a very strange tradition indeed. Maybe this is what those people singing 'joy to the world' meant. I had no idea they meant it this literally. Um, ha ha?"
@Akayaofthemoon "Ah, I'm fine!" Spinel gives Aqua a thumbs up, but the fact that she's rubbing the back of her head kind of casts doubt on her being fine. "I'm pretty light, so falls don't affect me much, just like a ghost!"
@Akayaofthemoon "Hm, that makes a lot more sense. Okay, what about this?" Spinel's arms and legs suddenly become pointy and she accidentally slides off of the tree.
@Akayaofthemoon "Hey Aquamarine, some human named Gilles told me to come stand up here. Apparently it's some sort of human tradition... but I haven't seen any humans standing on trees."
@Loony I'm glad I didn't talk myself out of checking my messages at school! Hey Lil' Loon, it's nice to see you but I'm sorry you aren't feeling well.
For some reason the first thing that comes to mind for me when I picture our characters celebrating Christmas is them finishing the tree by putting Spinel on top of it.
