Welcome to Gaia! ::

Welcome to gift reveal day and I hope everyone had fun picking out gifts for their secret santa. Here's a little thread for people to rp giving out their gifts to their Secret Santa heart

Arian and Kaze have set out snacks and stuff for people to snack on rp-wise and Hakari's decided that there will be a rp event

Next post will be the post of who got who for those who are curious and I'll put that up on the 31st proper.

Hope everyone had fun with this little event and hope spirits will have the chance to make a new friend whee

Arian set down the last of the plates of snacks that Kaze had let him help make on a table that he and Kaze had pushed carefully to one side in the Lanturn shop.

They'd had to be careful and mindful of the lanturns when they'd pushed the table to the side, but it was all done now and filled with things for the lanturn spirits to snack on.

Emerald green eyes flicked to a long list in his hand as the unicorn spirit carefully crossed out the word 'food' on the list.

There were cookies and cupcakes and bowls of crisps all carefully arranged around a gingerbread house Arian had mostly made himself.

There were also a few bottles of lemonade, some apple, pineapple and orange juice as several plates of sandwiches - quite a few of which were vegetarian.

Arian twiched his tail excitedly before half bouncing over to the lanturn shop door and pinning up some ballons and tinsel he'd hunted around to find. It was really nice of Hakari and Potato to let him hold the Secret Santa and it had been really fun hunting out addresses and sending notes to the 10 spirits who had wanted to take part.

As he pinned up a few more balloons Arian wondered what the other spirits would be like since he only really knew three of those turning up - and of the three Aikori wasn't able to make it. Arian had been meant to give Aikori's Secret Santa their gift on his friend's behalf but Aikori had forgotten to give it to him before leaving so Arian had gotten a little something from a shop he'd found while exploring the Middle Market and asked the stall holder if she could send the gift to his friend's Secret Santa.

He just hoped that Aikori's Secret Santa would enjoy the things he'd picked out.

Looking back down at his list he wondered who would be the first to arrive and what sort of gifts they had decided to get each other's Secret Santa...

((My posting will be a little slow for a bit as I have to cook and do last minute chores xd I'll post the who got who list when I get back online 3nodding ))

Arian grinned at Mikomi "Hi Mikomi." He was kind of glad that the first lanturn spirit to arrive was some one he recognised. "How was your Christmas? Did you have a good one? Ours was quite fun, even though we had to spend it with Uncle Kori and he was his usual self and Mum helped me plan out food here and stuff though it was mostly all my idea." he paused for breath "Thanks for your Christmas present. Did you have fun picking a gift out for your Santa?"

Gokiloud walk cautioniously through the area. He had under his arm a canvas which he had been working on for a long time for his secret santa. Gokiloud ponder if his gift was going to be like. He knew other lanturns ( okay one other lanturn really well) though for his ss it was more like a guessing game. "hmmm......man I hope this person will like it," he then sat down and stare at it. His rabbit ears twitched a bit.

((Who got who is up whee see second post for details))

"That's good" Arian smiled at Mikomi. "I hope that she likes your gift too" he looked at Zurr curiously, especially at the cat-like creature's black fur that made him think of coal. "I don't know about that shop, Mum.." he broke off as two new arrivals entered the shop.

The first was a purple spirit girl around Vidali's height - like Mikomi was purple but kind of but a deeper purple, the second was around his height with spiky hair and rabbit ears. "Hi" he smiled cheerfully at the two. "I'm Arian, are you two here for the gift reveal?"

While waiting for one of the other two spirits to respond, Arian remembered the food Kaze had helped him set out earlier. His Mum had left soon after, telling him that as this was really just for Lanturn spirits like him she would leave him to it, but she would check back later to see if he needed any help. In fact his Mum's last words had been "Have fun" and a promise to give him a hand later with clearing up.

Tilting his head slightly he wondered what each spirit had bought for their Santa.

"Mum helped me to set out food so if you're hungry just help yourself" he told Mikomi and the two new spirits. There's cakes, lemonade, juice...

Gesturing towards the table he noticed a little brown, raccoon-like (if the ears and tail were anything to go by) spirit by the table in question, wondering when he'd gotten in as the unicorn spirit hadn't noticed him entering.

Mocha sighed, and gave up on the apple juice when he sensed a familiar presence. It's not like he had been very alert about the surrounding people and spirits before. He was mostly focused on that juice until just now.

But he remembered that aura. He glanced around the room, and spotted the aura's owner: the little girl Saevem. His tiny feet moved swiftly across the room as he stopped directly in front of the girl and her accompaniment. "Um hello Ms. Saevem correct?" he asked, giving a polite bow. "You might not remember me, but I remember you. My name is Mocha. And is that....." He turned to the lanturn spirit beside the girl. He could only assume that this was the lanturn that Ms. Saevem had with her at the shop.

((edit to all who care. XD I'm changing my lanturn owner's profile some cause it was confusing before cause I was putting her as an 'Ah My Goddess character' and I think that was just......idk, it didn't fit. So she's just Yggdrasil, a wood nymph also known as Eri. XD The end. Sorry for the interruption.))

Mocha gave a polite bow, yet still keeping his eyes on Brigade. He remembered, even though he had been a just a lanturn at the time. "Nice to meet you in person this time," he replied ecstaticaly. He waved with one free hand, while the other still head his gift for Vidali, which reminded him, "Um, you wouldn't happen to know who Vidali is...would you?" he questioned, never having met the other lanturn spirit before. It couldn't hurt to ask.

Also, Mocha had noticed the man that had come in with Saevem. He had not met him before. But the man looked nice enough, Not to mention the fact that he was tall; a godsend in Mocha's eyes. He bet he could reach the apple juice on the table.

Mocha's tail twitched as he motioned toward the bar. "If you're hungry, I believe Arian has set out treats and drinks for everyone," he said, politely holding out his to lead Saevem or Bri, whoever took hold of his hand first, over to the snacks.
