ATTENTION ENTIRE TRANQUILITY except the creepy-crawlies in the hallways, you stay out

due to the fact that i'm really super sick of hearing about some vague impending space christmas without any kind of actual space christmas, i've decided next month is gonna have space christmas.

so mark your calendars because exactly two weeks after the jump is gonna be space yuleapalooza and none of you actually have any say in it. so don't be an asshole about it. be festive instead.

if you don't know what christmas is: the short story is basically that everyone gives each other gifts of some kind and it's this huge spirit of giving thing and people optionally decorate with shiny shit like tinsel but idk if we have any tinsel? and i guess just ~bonding and closeness~ and all that. togetherness? and like, if you really want to go for accuracy you can turn the heat way down and shiver under a blanket with someone but that's mostly because winter's cold as balls, it's not actually a christmas thing.

in summary i repeat: two weeks from jump, space christmas.

that's pretty much it. later

... as somebody who hasn't actually had Christmas in, like, three years, I'm in complete support of the idea. Good thinking!

[ hooray this is just what he wanted :') no jk this is the precise opposite of what he wanted but he can see Sirius' hand in this and he's not going to be a jerk about it regardless. ]

There must be a mechanism in your design of this holiday for people to opt out, and no pressure or guilt can be levied against those who choose to opt out. That is important.

i'll consult my panel of judges

[ no more than ten seconds pass. ]

nope, you've gotta christmas it up. judge rules.

[alsohawkeye]

So close! If we just count the months we're awake it'll actually be December for me the jump after next. On the bright side this means I get to for once have Christmas without my birthday.

[unmakes]

see i had no idea 'cause for me december happened like three months ago

but hey, at least i was close?

[alsohawkeye]

Right, it's vague and not impending at all.

[puppydogeyes]

You've been threatening it for years.

[revivalism]

Do you have a wish list?

text.

[unmakes]

[enlistments]

Will egg and grog be provided?

[alsohawkeye]

So I've always wondered: what is grog, exactly?

[pushesback]

what about the mistletoe?

text

[unmakes]

why, got someone in mind?

because you don't need mistletoe for that, pal. i'm just saying.

[ believe it or not, she's actually not hitting on him intentionally. she just thinks mistletoe's the sissy way to kiss someone. like oh, whoops, look - mistletoe, now i've got an ~excuse~. ]

[majestyofthethrone]

That's the very short story.

The angels might not really like the brevity of it.

[unmakes]

they are absolutely welcome to file a complaint

but i'm morally inclined to inform you that our complaints funnel directly to our weekly dramatic reading sessions

we'll make sure it's on sunday this week, so at least the angels get some irony with their buck

[uncurse]

Emergency lighting was probably the closest we'll get to strings of holiday lights, huh?

[unmakes]

i mean idk

does anyone know how to string little tiny lights together? bc i bet we have replacement bulbs for that shit, and we can maybe paint em colors with really thin layers of paint and bam, holiday lights

we'll wrap them around edgeworth and all of the butthurt angels

[nutsaboutscans]

what if the creepy-crawlies want to celebrate too? they might be great gift-givers, you don't know them

text;

[unmakes]

well i'm sorry but they're just gonna have to leave the gifts on my doorstep and scram

[acapriciousthing]

I think we could do with some Christmas here.

Text

[unmakes]

right?? everyone's so freaking serious all the time, which is totally warranted but that doesn't mean we couldn't use something besides finger-pointing bullshit

[blackmagus]

[Fortescue isn't against this idea. It'll a spot of normality on the ship.]

Getting presents together is going to be an interesting venture.

[unmakes]

interesting in a good way or a bad one

[coldhardy]

[The woman on the screen has platinum blonde hair, pale skin, wide blue eyes, and an excited expression. What can be seen of her dress is also blue, and it shimmers. If she looks like a Nordic princess, well....]

Space Christmas! That sounds wonderful!

[It's been a long time since she's been able to celebrate with so many people, and it sounds like it could be a bright spot in this place.]

I don't mind if it's cold, but I don't know how anyone else will feel about it.

[video]

[unmakes]

Pretty sure they can just suck it up. Besides, grab a blanket and it'll be just like the real thing.

[ex_striking429]

I still don't think I understand.

[unmakes]

what part? i'll try and explain better

[sophically]

I really will miss the snow. [A strange thing to say considering she was sick to death of the snow when she arrived on the ship.] I'm not sure what we'll do about presents, but it would be nice to celebrate it.

Text

[unmakes]

give something you have, trade for something, make something, draw something, write something, do a chore for them, cook them a meal, punch someone they don't like, do a stupidly embarrassing dance for their personal entertainment without complaining

pretty sure we can manage a little creativity

What is Christmas?

[unmakes]

[skjalf]

Ah, at last! I should very much like to assist in planning the festivities if it is permitted.

[unmakes]

absolutely, whatcha got in mind?

[inspirited]

Christmas? That definitely sounds like something this place could use! I think it's been a while since I last had the chance to celebrate it.

[unmakes]

Hell yes. [ she knew she could count on you, chuck. ] How long have you even been here?
