[It's late, but Flora is sitting in the living room with a bright smile and applauding.]

I'm so glad all that snow's relaxed on us! I was quite concerned that it was going to take away the spirit of the season. But at the stroke of midnight, it will be Christmas!

[Her smile grows a little more.] It's my first Christmas spent with others. Well, real others. I'm... actually quite excited about that. So, in the spirit, I've made presents for people! I wasn't sure who was still around, so I just... made a lot of them.

[They're all really shoddily-made cookies. Thankfully, there are no foreign, non-cookie like ingredients (except for a few eggshells, oops), but she did try! She used a bit too much salt, and they're not really shaped properly, but they're... the closest thing to edible that she's ever gotten and goddamn it you had better like this cookie. Each package contains three, and she tilts the Gear to show at least forty packages on the table.]

Just let me know if you'd like me to send you one, if I already haven't!

[She turns the gear back and just smiles. Flora is very proud of these cookies, okay? But before she clicks away, a look of sudden remembrance appears on her face.]

Oh! Before I forget, I had a question! I had been wondering this for a while, after hearing a jingle. But... What sort of Reindeer games was Rudolph excluded from playing? I thought they merely acted like normal deer, but... apparently they don't?

[[OOC: Luke, Emmy, Winry, Rin, you guys can wake up to these hideous cookies being delivered to you. Everyone else, Flora will either Delibird deliver or personally hand them to you. She's such a good kid.]]

[After the Bowser cookie incident, Misaki isn't exactly trusting of strangers just handing out cookie packages but after seeing the attempted shoddy cookies and sympathizing the girl with her attempts, she can't say no. Curse the Asou family's kindness curse.]

[She definitely isn't going to eat them though. Maybe they'll be presents to Wani and Kizu, her two favorite pokemon.]

I...I won't mind taking a package off your hands if you don't mind.

As for the question, I think they're like normal human games like Tag and whatever. I mean, they're able to pull Santa's sleigh, fly and possibly talk so I think they're already abnormal enough.

[She smiles brightly.]

I won't mind at all! Are you in Goldenrod? I can deliver it myself, otherwise I can send one to you!

[But then there's a moment of thinking. Games like tag...?] I... I've never played Tag before. What sort of game is that?

[She gave a smile.] Yes. You can find me at Goldenrod Pokecenter.

[That smile was eventually replaced with a strange look.] You haven't played tag before? The one game where there's someone chasing a whole bunch of people around and if they touch you, then its your turn to chase them around.

Ah! I'll bring one to you soon, then! [Yay new friend and cookie delivery!

She shakes her head.] No, I... didn't have many friends growing up. [Read: One.]

[Misaki's smile drops when she heard that. At least she's making friends with her cause Misaki can be the best friend you'll ever have.]

[Kind of.]

I'm sorry to hear that. Was your childhood...alright?

Edited 2012-12-25 06:21 (UTC)

Hmm? Oh, yes! My childhood was quite wonderful! [She smiled brightly, but there's a sad look in her eyes.] My father and I were very close, so I spent a lot of time with him. There just weren't many children in town.

[In a way, Misaki was relieved but she still felt sympathy for girl.]

How was your father like?

[At the inquiry, Flora perks up immediately. She loves talking about her father!]

He was a wonderful man! He was very nice, and we spent a lot of time together. He had a very jolly laugh, and he gave some of the best hugs! When he came home from work, he'd scoop me right up! [There's a happy sigh.] But that was back when I was very small.

[Misaki gave a smile. Hearing Flora's explanation about her father gave her a warm feeling, reminding her of her father back home.]

He sounds very loving. [She let a small laugh.] Were you this close with your mother too?

[She beams and nods, but that perkiness is quick to fade. But Flora tries to smile again.]

I... was, when I was even younger. But she died when I was five. My father used to say I look like her.

[Crap, that was not what she was expecting at all.]

Oh, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to upset you..

Oh! No, it's alright. I'm not upset at all. [She nods calmly.] I had a very nice childhood, all things considered. But enough about me! Would you mind sharing a little about yourself as well?

[Misaki blinked.] Not..at all.

I don't really remember too much of my childhood. [A lie.] From what I can remember was that it wasn't exactly pleasant.

Oh... I'm sorry. That's quite sad to hear.

I think it was Monopoly.

Monopoly? The... board game?

That's what I heard, anyways.

That's... a peculiar game for a reindeer. How would they hold the money?

Maybe the same way they fly? Like, what if they have psychic powers that let them move things wither their brains?

Oh! Reindeers must be magical creatures! I hadn't even thought of that.

[Luke smells something baking and that can only mean one thing...

He's gotta get out of here.

Sadly, with a broken leg that's easier said then done, but he'll try to slowing and quietly edge his way out of the house.]

[Uuuunfortunately, Flora hears movement and is almost certain it's Luke. Either that or her Gible is running loose again - both of which mean she needs to go solve this. Hurrying out, she's surprised to find it's Luke, and just sets her hands on her hips.]

Luke Triton! Aren't you supposed to be resting, young man?

[Drat, he's been caught!]

Er...I was [quick think of something] um, just going out for some fresh air!

[Oh, fresh air... Flora nods, quite understanding of this.]

Alright! Don't forget to bundle up, though! It's quite chilly outside and it wouldn't do for you to catch death on Christmas.

[Luke nods, feeling slightly relieved.]

I'll bundle up, don't worry.

[She smiles.]

Alright! And don't be out too long! You don't want to catch a cold in your condition.

[[When Emmy awakens, the sun is shining! Really, it's quite the beautiful day, how love-

....and then she notices the cookies on her bedside table with the tag stating who made them.

...........ah.]]

Ah, Flora? Are these your cookies?

Merry Christmas, by the way!

[[D-DOES SHE DARE EAT THEM....]]

[She nods brightly.]

Merry Christmas, Miss Altava! I hope you enjoy them! I've been practicing!

[Emmy, is your courage high enough...? Think of it this way - at least she's not watching you expectantly to take your first bite.]

[[W-Well Emmy is a Lady and it would be rude for her to do nothing, so let her just....take a minuscule....bite....

.....

huh. That's....]]

Why, these aren't half-bad, Flora!

[[They're by no means good, but considering how low her expectations were, you have exceeded them!

...that's....a good thing...right? Let's just say yes!]]

[And the brightest smile ever forms on Flora's face. She feels accomplished!]

Thank you, Miss Altava! I'm glad to know it's paid off!

[... Okay, those may not look very... appealing, but everyone has to start somewhere! He remembers his own first attempts at cookies weren't anything even remotely close to amazing, either. Though in his defense, he was like seven or so.]

Hey, if you've got a spare package, I can take it off your hands!

[#YOLO.]

Can't say I know any reindeer games, but I guess it'd be like... tag? Telephone? Maybe King's game or something...

[Her eyes just light up at that. Sir, you're a wonderful young man!]

Certainly! I can definitely spread some holiday cheer with a package. [Your observable logic's obliterated.]

Tag? Telephone? What... sort of games are these?

[Oh, he knows he is.]

Where are you? I can send one of my birds your way! ... And while we're at it, I can send you some of my cookies if you wanna. It'll be a trade, fair and square! [With Flora's gain, to be quite honest.]

Tag is really easy! It's just one player trying to catch others who run away from them. In telephone, one person whispers something to the other, and then it gets passed through a line of people, until the last person says the message out loud. It's usually totally different than what they started with!

I'm in Goldenrod! [She beams.] I like the sound of that! A present trade!

[Thinking on these games...] It would be nice to play one of these sometime. They sound quite fun!

[He gives her thumbs-up.]

Consider it done! They'll be there before you know it.

[Crow nods to the part about games.] They are! Not as much as Duel Monsters, of course, but still fun.

A-alright! Then I'll be sure to wait for him.

Duel... Monsters? Is that another game?

No worries, that won't take long!

[Okay, now he's the one beaming at the screen. As always when he gets to talk about this specific game.]

Yeah! A card game, to be precise. Most people in my world play it-- look!

[He pulls out a few cards and puts them in front of camera for the girl to see.]

These here are Black Feathers, my pride and joy!

My goodness! [She leans a little closer to look at it.]

Those are some peculiarly-designed cards. I can understand the name a bit more, though.

How do you play?

[damn his paternal side
But seeing a little girl can cook a bit, how can he resist? ~~Ragnarok thinks this is stupid. He's right.~~]
Well, if everybody else hasn't taken all of them - mind if you send me some of those cookies, Miss?

[Just try not to be poisoned, alright? At least he missed the sugar and vegetables practice phase.]

Most certainly, sir! I hope you'll enjoy them!

[He's very lucky, for once.]
Hey, uh, you don't need to call me sir! Just call me Laguna! Really!

Laguna? Alright! And my name is Flora! It's a pleasure to meet you.
