20 (Mickey Steps Out)

[her_mouse_jesty]

[Out and about at the PokeMart, Minnie turns on the video. You may or may not notice her cheek is slightly bruised - because she can't go a month without bodily harm Shadow was a meanie and pushed her hard. But she's bright and cheery!]

Hello everyone! I hope you're all having a pleasant day. My new friend Ahiru reminded me how fast time flies... next month is Christmas!

For those who don't know, Christmas is a wonderful holiday celebrated in many worlds... People come together to cherish their friends and families, exchanging gifts. And for all the little boys and girls, if they've been good, Santa Claus will leave them a present! And we all play in the snow, and sing carols, and kissing under the mistletoe, and it's all so much fun! It takes place on December 25th, so please keep that date in mind.

With that... Is there anything in particular you want for Christmas? There are so many great people here, and I want to try and get a gift to all of my loved ones!

[ YOU ARE TOO NICE TO PROVOKE ANYBODY WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE ]

... Do you want some foundation for it for now?

... Oh, uh, I meant catch him by surprise.

[Okay, that was a little confusing...he lets go of his fizzing temper with a sigh]

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have raised my voice. [More gently] What happened?

[action]

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

That would be nice, I don't want to make anyone else worry.

[Shakes her head]

No, it's all right, you were just concerned... that's kind of you.

[a sigh.]

I just got into a... small argument. I was trying to explain that... not all people are the same, and to hate one group based on the actions are some was foolish, and he... lashed out.

Oh, I see.

[Headtilt. :c]

Minnie... What happened...?

[action]

[usedrawr.livejournal.com]

Really...?

[man he sounds a little unsure, but he believes her.]

Wow. That looks like it hurt. Is it okay now?

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Does... um, Mickey know yet? [ this is a little muffled since she's ducking behind the counter to grab her bag and fish out a little container. ]

[combat_butler]

Ah... I mean ruin it for individual people, not the holiday as a whole... *He doesn't like Christmas. At all.*

[shieldofjustice.livejournal.com]

I have to admit, it would be nice to spend Christmas with the friends I've made here.

[Action]

[dragonspeak]

No, that's not an excuse. [Sighs with her because that sounds awfully familiar]

Some people cannot be convinced to think otherwise, Minnie. I wish that weren't true, but...[He trails off, shrugging helplessly]

[video]

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

Hm? What do you mean?

[action]

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

It looks worse than it is. I'm fine, but thank you.

[action]

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

No, not yet. I managed to hide it with my hair.

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

Then you shall, we all will~!

... He was in great pain. His heart is heavy... I just hope he can recover.

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

... You're pretty sneaky! [ it's said with a laugh, though, and she'll straighten up and offer her the little jar. ] Here you go. You're not that much lighter than me, so it should blend just fine.

[rainbowdash.livejournal.com]

[Now she's... sort of unsure of herself, looking down at her hands.]

... You don't look well.

[shieldofjustice.livejournal.com]

[Athrun can't help but smile. Maybe he'll have a fun Christmas this year after all.]

[Action]

[dragonspeak]

I'm sorry.

[Squirms at making Minnie look so unhappy] Maybe...we could talk to him next time. Try again.

[Kisame is sharing a sparse meal with his Pokémon, which means he's barely visible under the pile. He doesn't seem to mind though.]

Another time to exchange gifts, eh?

[And suddenly he sounds deadly serious.] Who hurt you?

_{[She'll let herself be distracted for NOW, but she does kind of want to find out what happened. At least Minnie's cheerful. That's a reassuring sign.]}

Wh-- me?

_{[... Well, she's been thinking about how much happier she'd be traveling with a gun on hand in case of emergencies, but that's nnoooooot the best thing to request in this situation. SO SHE DOESN'T.]}

I uh... huh. You'll have to give me some time on that, I think. It's been awhile since I've thought about anything like that.

_{[Last year's Christmas had been ... very unChristmasy, although she and Douglas had done what they could. It had been less a time for cheer and more one of... quiet contemplation.]}

What about you?

_{[In the event that she kept the money that the Joker dropped ... she'll have plenty to go around for the holidays. And the prospect of having people other than herself to spend it on is surprisingly exciting.]}

[hittheroadjack.livejournal.com]

Oh! Well...I'd want to be with my friends for Christmas.
