36th form; merry christmas! {action for her house/goldenrod}

[bamfsecretary]

{Merry Christmas, members of Nanao's failmily! Hope you're ready for your presents, because some of them are lying at the foot of your beds, neatly wrapped. How did they get there? Nobody knows how they got there (hint: psychics), but that's where they are when you wake up. Oh, and what is that delicious smell coming from the downstairs kitchen? It's the beginning of a massive feast of food - and oh my god, where on earth did she hide all of this there is so much food. Everything's decked out in bunting and decorations and there's even a tree, all decorated in silver and gold. Coincidentally, this is also where the rest of the presents are, all labelled and wrapped. There's even some sneakily hidden mistletoe put up by meddling Pokemon.}

{Nanao herself is at the stove, apron on over a new dress, stirring a pot of... wine? Yep, that'd be mulled wine.}

Merry Christmas - please, grab a plate and help yourself!

{ooc: Go crazy - feel free to threadjack the hell out everything. I'll be putting up a couple of headers, but just go for it! Other people in Goldenrod are welcome to drop by, too!}

PRESENTS

{After everyone's been stuffed to the brim with food and sort of rolls over to the couches, it's time to open what presents weren't left by the end of your beds!}

[Instead of dashing for the presents, Marona hangs back a bit. This gift exchange stuff is still something she needs to get used to-- what if there's some sort of proper way you're supposed to open presents in a setting like this? She only ever opened presents with her parents and Ash, who was practically family anyway. Is it different when there isn't any relation?

...For now, she'll just look at them warily...]

{Nanao will just be chilling on one of the couches.}

They won't bite, you know.

[oxidegreen.livejournal.com]

I know that.

[...She's still not moving...]

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

Then why are you standing so far away?

{Saddened and confused mama is sad and confuzzled.}

[oxidegreen.livejournal.com]

It's... been a while...

[greatbigrock]

_{[Oh, Nanao got him ... a lot of stuff, really. Wow. Now he feels even guiltier for not having anything for her, so it's with a kind of hesitant sheepish face he approaches her a later on.]}

Hey, thanks for all that stuff.

_{[HE REALLY DID NOT EXPECT IT.]}

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

{Have a smile, Tulio.}

You're welcome. Do you... like them?

[greatbigrock]

Yeah. I mean, the frog's a little creepy, but yeah, I do.

_{[And some more hesitation, then he offers a christmas ornament. It's a snowflake and it's honestly pretty cute - not that he really noticed that, it's just a gesture. And IOU.]}

Sorry I didn't get you anything, but I couldn't come up with anything ... so, uh, that's a snowflake.

_{[No kidding, Tuli.]}

It's just a thing until you can get, you know, a real thing, but you really gotta tell me what that should be because I have no idea.

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

You get used to it. She's a good Pokemon.

{Taking the ornament - oh, it's quite nice.}

I can see it's a snowflake.

...no idea? I thought you were the brains of your trio.

[greatbigrock]

_{[Hey, that earns you his typical ~winning grin~ because of course he is.]}

Oh, but I am! The best brains you'll find. I just haven't gotten to the, er, gift-y part of that yet because gifts? Not really a thing back home.

_{[Which is very, very true.]}

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

{And she is charmed by that smile.}

Well, perhaps I might be able to offer my expertise in this particular arena?

[greatbigrock]

_{[Of course she is. He's noticed he can get to her at least a little with it, so he exploits it if he can.]}

I guess you are the residental expert, so sure. Shoot.

An ... an Eevee ... how did you know?

And ... such a beautiful scarf ... thank you.
