What's December Without Christmas Eve? [Tree Decorating: OPEN]

[littlecrowgirl]

WHO: Anyone and Everyone!
WHERE: Around various parts of Haven
WHEN: From now until what counts as 'New Years' for Cybertron (New Years Day for us?)
WHAT: Tree Decorating!
WARNINGS: Infinite cute and maybe tree eating

Well, Kay and Elita had done it. It took awhile, and surprisingly, all in one night, but they'd been able to grab branches from the large crystal trees that the pink robot had grown, and placed them all around Haven. Where, specifically? Outside the temples! Really, surprised no one noticed it.  But to those who walk out of the them, they'll now notice a tree on either their right or left, empty, glittering, and with a note.



What could this mean? What's this? There's trees everywhere! What's this? And depending on what your alignment is/where you live, you'll get a different tree. 

(ooc: I'll be putting comments up for each quadrant's tree. Comment under whichever one you'd like to react to/decorate/chat with people under. It's a huge mingle thread! Also, don't forget to put your tag in the log!

Comments

[littlecrowgirl]

She smiles back, giving that little teasing look in return.

"Is that a challenge?"

There must be more back there then. And she's gonna find it.

[thxforthememories]

"Do you want it to be one?"

He hadn't meant it that way. But if that's what she wants to do, he won't stop her. She's probably happier that way, too.

[littlecrowgirl]

"I'm gonna find it. Just make sure you hide it right where it was!"

[thxforthememories]

He lowers a hand to her. Time to help her up -- to hang things on the tree.

"I will. Do you want me to promise?"

[littlecrowgirl]

"I think it could be written down~"

She holds up a random shiny little trinket.

"But for right now, let's just decorate."

[thxforthememories]

"All right then."

That flicker of a smile. He holds his hands out, palms up.

"After you."

[littlecrowgirl]

She can't help but giggle, hurrying over towards the tree. It's pretty big, though, so she'll need some help.

"Now where to put it..."

[thxforthememories]

He takes a single step forward, and then picks her up. Fortunately, he's had a lot of practice with this by now.

"Up here."

[littlecrowgirl]

And just like he's used to holding her, she's used to being held. It doesn't even make her flinch when she's picked up.

"Okay, right here?"

[thxforthememories]

He nods, and steps closer to the tree, his hands curled securely around her.

"Yes. That should be good, I think."

[littlecrowgirl]

And with a little reaching up, she places one of the trinkets on the tree, leaning back to see how it looks a few feet away.

"Perfect.

Okay, now your turn, Mr. Kagerou!"

[thxforthememories]

"Yes. I think you're right."

He nods, kneeling down to pick up one of the bits of glass. This one is, unsurprisingly, purple. Kay is held closer to his chest, then, the better to keep her from falling.

"Does this one look all right?"

[littlecrowgirl]

"Wow, that's going to look so pretty up there. Where did you find it?"

She leans against that metal, fitting perfectly into part of that emblem on his chest. Oh the joys of being small.

"Put it next to mine!"

[thxforthememories]

"In the junk. Near where I found Vandal's gift."

The bottle, basically. He doesn't mind her leaning, shifting his fingers to better support her there.

He nods, and, to the best of his ability, hangs the little bit of glass near her ornament.

[littlecrowgirl]

"Perfect! The first two ornaments are always the most important, you know."

Actually she just made that up, but who's splitting hairs.

"Now for the rest of the tree!"

[thxforthememories]

"I didn't know that..."

He has no way of knowing whether or not she's making something up. He stares down at her, at where she's curled against his chest.

And it amazes hm that someone like her could be so fond of something like him.

"Should I put you back down for that?"

[littlecrowgirl]

"Nah, just pick whatever. I'll tell you where to put them, okay?

Okay! It's settled."

You could have at least given him the option.

[thxforthememories]

His lips curl. It's a smile. A real smile.

"As you say."

And he will. He'll follow her direction to the letter.

[littlecrowgirl]

It was so nice to see him smile. She wouldn't comment on it, because if she did, it always disappeared. And she wanted it kept on that face.

Because smiles? They did wonders for him.

"Okay, let's put one on the opposite side, okay? We gotta be symmetrical!"

[thxforthememories]

Probably a good plan, Kay. He's somewhat self-conscious about the whole thing. Not being self-conscious requires having some kind of self-esteem. Which he doesn't.

"As you say," he says again. Though he doesn't stop smiling. He's humoring her, partially.

But... he really does like spending this time with her. Listening to her.

[littlecrowgirl]

Whether he's humoring her or not, she's enjoying herself, telling him exactly where to put things on what branches, sometimes making him rearrange so other things could fit in a more Feng Shui layout.

Not that she knows Feng Shui, but...let's pretend.

"How's that look?"

[thxforthememories]

And he's... honestly enjoying having her point him in a direction. It's better that way. When he knows exactly what he's doing.

"It looks perfect."

His smile brightens. Just a bit.

"You did well."

[littlecrowgirl]

That brightens her face up as well, She pats Kagerous hand, making a 'shove' motion to the air.

"Let's back up and see how it looks! It always looks better when you're further away."

[thxforthememories]

He nods, and takes several long steps backward, facing the tree as he does so. She's still held protectively, his hands still and frozen in place to keep from bouncing her around.

"What do you think?"

[littlecrowgirl]

Kay leans back against him, smiling wide as she takes a look at the tree.

"Absolutely beautiful..."
