[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.]]

[... 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?

[darkenedgales]

[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!

[darkenedgales]

[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.

[icansolvethemtoo]

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

Duel... Monsters? Is that another game?

[video]

[darkenedgales]

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!

[video]

[icansolvethemtoo]

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?
