Welcome to Gaia! ::

Bix grinned at the girls but at some point just grabbed Reine's sleeve and pulled her along. "I'm so glad someone else wants to harass people with me!" Before usually was afraid of getting in trouble and Gale was usually much too serious. Cass was always with her boyfriend and .. "Jingle Bells.. Batman smells.." Where did that come from!?

Bix yanked some tiny, cheap craft store sized jingling gold bells from his pocket. If Julie had really been the one to order all this stuff, she must being making her own decorations with them. Did the hunters have crafting clubs? The idea of Caelius making a macaroni birthday card was almost too much hilarity to handle.

"Ooo.. here we go. Hold on.. hold on. SHHHH SHHHH." Bix snickered and motioned for Reine to shush up. "Ok so wait.. you act like you are injured and hurt and I will act all serious like you need help, and then we'll surprise him.."

Bix offered his arms for her to drape dramatically over.

Bix snickered but banged on the door.

"Broooo.. oh god broooooo!"



Bix held Reine's body and sort of flailed around in distress.

"Dude she's hurt or dying or something..." Bix lamented, tossing his head around. He sort of shook Reine's limp body around a bit. "There was a mission and she got hurt and..." There was only so long he could keep it up before he just started laughing. "...and then WE CAME TO GET YOU!"

Bix let go of Reine (hopefully she didn't fall over) and whipped out his spray snow. "Christmas ATTTTTAAACK!" He began to spray snow all over the front of Before and then started throwing it all over his bro's room.

Somehow a bag of joy cookies was tossed onto the other's desk. Had Bix been eating them or was this just a result of the Joy #5?

Okay that was about enough manhandling; with a "HELLLOOOOO MERRY CHRISTMAS STRANGER" Reine struggled out of Bix's arms and sprayed fake snow all over the other guy's face.

Nevermind that she didn't know him. Reine didn't discriminate when it came to fake-snowing people. Or even things! She drew what looked like it might once have been a snowman on Before's wall, along with a few stick figures, one of which bore a very vague resemblance to Dr. H, and the other Caelius.

"BYE HAVE FUN."

Happily skipping out of the room, Reine helped herself to a cookie, and followed Bix down the hallway. NOW WHO NEXT, NOW WHOOO? She looked at the doors as they went past, then yelled for Bix to stop, pointing and gesturing wildly in an attempt to convey some sort of message.

Then, beaming, she knocked on the door and waited, the spray can poised for action. "JERRRYYYYYY!!"

In the middle of his cleaning and replaying the scene in his head, Before's tendency to notice things at the last minute suddenly kicked in. He hadn't finished completely wiping his room down but he was bolting out to chase after Bix and that girl he'd seen with Otto-matic.

"DUDE! BRO! HEY WAIT UUUUUUUUUUUUUP!!!!" he yelled out.

Before raised a hand to ask for a quick time-out for him to catch his breath. When it seemed like the Lifer caught his second wind, he raised his eyes and studied Bix. Very, very carefully. Teal eyes narrowed in complete and utter concentration as he stared and stared and stared at Bix's coat.

Then it hit Before. "DUDE YOU GOT PROMOTED!!!!!!!!"

Much d'awwww was had when Before reciprocated the bro-hug. MUCH D'AW INDEED! "Me? Promoted? Naaaaah~" he waved his hand dismissively, he didn't think he deserved promotion. Given his performance and mindset? He wouldn't be surprised if Dr. H or Clarice takes one look at his promotion request then at him and proceeds to smack a red, rubber stamp mark of "DENIED" on his forehead.

But then JOY number 5 kicked in and suddenly requesting for a promotion sounded fantastic! "Awwww, thanks!!! Y'knowwhat, mebbe I should totes go for promotion!" 8DDDDDD and when he received the Christmas card, Before threw his arms open to give Bix another Bro-hug. He was so happy he even went and gave Reine and Jerry bro-hugs too! And then he was hurrying back to his room to keep the card in a safe place, suddenly calling out over his shoulder, "IMMA MAKE YOU SOMETHING EPIC, BRO!!! K?!"

"PRESENTS," Reine shrieked, dancing around Jerry, stopping only momentarily when Before hugged her. "HI JERRY HI HI HI JERRY HI HI--"

Oooohhh! PRESENTS!

"WE HAVE PRESENTS FOR YOU TOOOOO!" Pulling the tinsel scarf off her neck she bent it into what appeared to be a tiara, and placed it ceremoniously on Jerry's head, then topped it with more fake snow.

"MERRY CHRISTMAS JERRYYYY ARE YOU BEING MERRY BECAUSE MERRY RHYMES WITH JERRY?" Taking his hand, she spun him around in what could have passed for a cavemannish sort of waltz, which was to say one of them probably crashed into the wall and hit their head.
