Welcome to Gaia! ::

"We should get food now," She relaxed once the flash went off, even giving Julie a thumbs up for her hard work, "And then go collect our photo... We'll need energy for when we win and need to carry all the presents back to our room." She sounded oddly confident as she placed her hands on her hip.

"But for now... TO THE FOOD." She the hopped on Deryk's back and pointed forward, towards the food table, "GO BOND GO."

"OH WHAT FUN, IT IS TO RIDE, ON A ONE MAN OPEN BACK, HEY!" She sung happily with a huge smile on her face, throwing her arms into the air as they approached the food table, "I want all the pudding... All of it. All the food." She stared at the food, mentally mapping a way to eat all of them without throwing up.

"All of it," She whispered as she hopped off her ride and picked up a cookie, "Starting with you." She then bit the gingerbread man's head right off.

Ariane attacked the fruit cake next, eyeing Deryk as she cut up her piece of cake with a fork.

"I challenge you to an eating contest," She swallowed the cake in her mouth, and then pointed her fork at the man, narrowing her eyes, "Loser has to get the winner a present. A gift wrapped present."

Jerry was very confused. Clearly, a refilled glass and a gathering of candles was the solution to this problem.

He also wondered where Candace had gone now,and if she was mad at him. Humming cheerfully to himself, he snatched votive candle after votive candle from the tables, lining them all up after blowing them out. Now he just needed a lighter...

"MADISON." Santy-Bix had been left on the dance floor by his lovely wife Mrs. Claus and so now the hunter was shaking his large stuffed belly around and dancing on his own. People started going off for photos and Bix, FOR THE FIRST TIME, saw Dr. H's face.

But Madison had showed up and he was wearing a headband made of mistletoe.. so she was gonna get it like all the rest. "MERRY CHRISTMAS!!" He planted a juicy one on her cheek, deposited a candy cane in her hand, and did a strange jig around her in a circle.



His horrific dancing continued. But he'd grabbed Madison by the hand was a pulling her along with no explanation. He made a bee-line for Julie. Santa-Bix stole her camera, put his arm around her neck and his other around Madison's neck. He made a face like a pimp daddy and attempted to take what many would call a 'facebook picture' the camera in his own hand facing them... but it was most likely off kilter and out of focus.


He just wanted to be pimpin.

Wilson didn't really have a choice, but when he agreed the woman cheered and tugged with a bit more urgency; reaching Bix and Julie and the camera as hastily as she could. Before the flash went off, the trainee slung an arm over her partners shoulder and spoke through her teeth.

"PRESEEEENTS!"

Minnie couldn't dance, but she sure could smile!

Okay. Candace was back and feeling much, much better. Not that she had been angry before just terribly panicked. She was not the marrying kind, evidently. She couldn't eve stay faithful to her boyfriend! That was not the kind of girl Jerry wanted to marry. But then she realized something...she'd let Jerry alone...with booze. And H. Booze and H. Two things wonderful in their own right but adding Jerry to the mix somehow spelled disaster to Candace.

She had walked back in, looked around and spotted...Aria! Aria was here! Candace gave her a huge grin and raised an arm to wave it back and forth. "Merry Christmas, Ariaaaaaaaa~!" She called out, looking about ready to run across the room to give her a huge hug. But she had well-wishing ADD. Several people were going to suddenly find they were being given drive-by hugs and kisses on the cheek; Madison, Harrison, Jude, Julie, Santa Bix, Clarice and even Otto, Cass and Marcus. Hell. Even Robert got one.

Candace would be the best wisher of wellness and happy things. Santa would be so proud! But there was one person she stopped at. Candace stopped when she came across H, her cheeks flushed hotly and she wore the goofiest looking grin. "Hey, you~. Weeeeird you're not wearing your hood." She leaned over to give the man a kiss on his cheek, sliding her arms around his middle and giving him an affectionate hug. "I'd stay and wish you a proper merry Christmas but I have to go find Jerry. I'll see you later? Maaaaaybe we could have a dance or something~?" Candace crooned, giving him one more kiss on the cheek before stepping away. Her eyes lingered even as she wandered away.

Luckily it didn't take her long to find Jerry. He was busy so it wasn't hard for her to sneak up behind the man and put her head on his shoulder, hugging him tightly. "Whatcha doin', honeybunch?" She asked cheerfully, looking upon the line of candles. What was this all for?

“Oh, it’s fine, really!” Molly reassured Jude, looking delighted when the young man offered her an arm (aww so nice). She took it, and allowed herself to be escorted the rest of the way to the punch bowl. She thanked Harrison happily as well when he passed around some punch and even some chocolate! Upon seeing the poor guy end up with punch and chocolate streaming down the fake mouth though, Molly’s mother instincts came into full swing. She pulled a handkerchief from her sleeve and licked it. “Aw, it’s alright!” She cooed to Harrison, and wiped that fake mouth sparkling clean. Rather satisfied with the job, she tucked the handkerchief away, and was about to pick up her punch when another young man showed up nearby, eyeing the desserts.

Warning: Incoming Mothering.

Oh dear! His hair was all over the place and his tie…Molly gasped. It needed to be straightened. The young woman’s fingers twitched with the uncontrollable urge to help make him presentable.

First Otto looked like this:



The strawberry blonde’s brows furrowed and her mouth pulled into a determined frown. She gave her palm a nice long lick.

Then Otto looked liked this:



Yes. She was that fast, and yes, he even sparkled. Molly was then back at Jude and Harrison’s side as quickly as she disappeared, picking up her punch and chocolate ball, giving her drink a sip. “This is wonderful!”
