[23: Action]

[technologic]

[Okay, so this sudden bout of paranoia was not a good thing. Especially since it was getting worse and she was starting to become uneasy around people she considered her friends, which sucked. But there was at least a few people she still felt comfortable and at ease around, which she was grateful for. And even with this paranoia, she still had gifts to give out.

So April will be going around to people's rooms and delivering these gifts to them;

Ledah: These handmade gloves, this coat and a rare book on European history.

Neah: This handmade black scarf

Saori: This handmade teal scarf

Beatrice: This handmade gold shawl

Mila: This handmade black and red scarf

Aengus: This handmade butterfly scarf

Diarmuid: This handmade purple and green scarf

Gaignun: This handmade silver scarf

Allen: This handmade blue scarf

[You are glorious and getting a kiss.]

[papermache]

*Mila cautiously opens the door, but grins when she sees April.*

Hey, thanks, Red. Merry Christmas and a lack of sacrificed pigs.

[toruin]

[You know the event has affected him when he doesn't crack a joke at his door.

instead, you'll see a pair of glowing yellow eyes before the door fully opens and he stays a good foot away from her. Just. Out of paranoia.]

Thank you.

[technologic]

[It still doesn't stop her from giving him a small smile.] It's nothing, since there's no way I couldn't get you something for Christmas. But, um, would you want me to leave it by the door?

[technologic]

[Mila gets a grin back and a giggle as she offers the little wrapped gift to her.]

Ehe, it's nothing. Merry Christmas, Mila.

Action

[technologic]

[Yay kisses! And it gets a cheerful smile from April.] You like them, then?

[papermache]

*Mila takes it carefully and prods it, checking for traps, before opening it up.*

Whoa. Nice, Red. It looks great! Merry Christmas to you, too. Wait a tic, yours is in the back. *pause* Actually, come in. You never know what's out there.

[Action]

[namedforcat]

[It takes a minute for the door to open, but not because Gaignun is particularly worried about who may be be on the other side, he's just hasn't had much sleep.]

April? Ah, why don't you come in?

Action

[needsteaplz]

[It does it take a second for Saori to open the door but Sirius insisted. He wags his tail in happiness and Saori is behind him.]

Ah, April! Good timing! I was going to bring out my gifts too. Might as well do the exchange now.

Action

[gaveupfeeling]

Absolutely, my dear.

Action

[technologic]

[She giggles happily, now blushing faintly, and gives him a quick kiss.] Ah, I'm glad to hear it! I, uh, was gonna try to make the coat by hand too, but I thought it would be best to buy one instead since I'm not that good at sewing yet.

[technologic]

[Blink and nod.] Oh, um, okay!

[Into Mila's room she goes.]

[Action]

[technologic]

Hi, Gaignun! [She gives him a small smile, and then blinks and nods.]

Ah, okay!

Action

[technologic]

[She gives Sirius a pet on the head, and then smiles at Saori.]

Hi, Saori! And ehe, guess it was good timing, here you go. [Holding out the little wrapped package to her.]

[papermache]

*Locks door behind her, setting up some kind of slime trap she had pre-rigged to the door.* Sorry. Just had this feeling lately that we might as well be careful.

[technologic]

[A blink, and then April gives her a reassuring smile.] It's all right, I've been feeling the same too.

[papermache]

Who knows what the deal is. Maybe the people who tossed us in here are creeping on us.

[Action]

[namedforcat]

[Paranoia for Gaignun is much more internal then it is for other people. Comes from being forcibly taken over by a malevolent entity.]

What brings you down this hall today April?

[Action]

[technologic]

Delivering presents! [Just gonna offer him a little wrapped package.] Um, here.

[technologic]

Well, that does sound like something they would do. [Siiigh.]

[papermache]

Anyway, your present. Here! *Mila drags out a box. Inside is a blanket and an assortment of dog toys.*

[toruin]

[He's the equivalent to Chitose right now. So he's a bit wary at the smile. Yet...]

You can come in. [A pause.] Is anyone with you?

[technologic]

Oh wow, thank you, Mila! This'll be a big help!

[technologic]

[A blink. And then she shakes her head.] Nope, it's just me.

[papermache]

No problem! Figured you needed it. How's the dog doing anyway?
