Bonnibel Bubblegum | R&D lab or kitchen
[Bonnibel has barely started unpacking before she's drawn to the lab like a moth to a Bunsen burner. She's not even technically a knight yet, but science is happening. She has to check that sweet science biz out.
She strides in like she owns the place, wearing a lab coat over her dress and some safety goggles, but she's... completely pink and made of bubblegum so it's not hard to tell she's new. Somehow those details tend to stick in the mind. She walks around, taking notes on a bulletin board and prodding at things that probably shouldn't be prodded. But she's very experienced, okay, nothing's going to explode.
Probably.]
Kitchen
[Sometime after she's
been chased outhad her fill of the lab, she can be found in the kitchen. The labcoat and goggles are gone, replaced with a dress that's a few shades of pink darker than her skin. It's nice being in a castle again, even if it's cold enough outside to be part of the Ice Kingdom and the castle is a little... broken, but still, things could be worse. She sits on a counter, holding a plate of spaghetti in her lap and idly twirling the noodles.]I think I'm gonna like it here.
[She feels a slight pang in her heart knowing that she doesn't have her friends around to do their yearly sweaters and videos tradition, but she refuses to let herself dwell on it. Her friends will be fine, and if they're not, well, maybe they can figure out how to unblizz their own skizz for once. And she gets... a vacation. Or something.]

rumbelle } a nebulous time period that probably predates this post BUT NOT BY MUCH
It's probably well over a month before he finally stops avoiding the situation and finds her in the library. Avoiding her meant a whole lot of not looking at her and after well over a year before the castle attack and not seeing her, it was more difficult than he imagined. It doesn't matter what state their relationship is in, she still takes his breath away.
He clears his throat to get her attention and immediately goes contrite, as if he's concerned his mere presence might be cause for alarm for her. All these uncertainties between them...
But maybe he can fix that.] Belle. Do you have a moment?

Kenzi & Groot | Around The Castle
[What good is having Christmas if you don't get to decorate a tree?! When it's Kenzi who's doing the decorating however, the tree in question happens to be a talking one so, there's that. She's probably dragged Groot inside and has managed to rustle up a box of assorted, mismatched decorations and is at present, trying to explain to Groot why she wants him to wear a string of fairy lights.]
Dude, they're not made out of actual fairies. You plug them in. [A beat.] Come to think of it, maybe you and I should avoid anything that involves electricity together...
B) Kenzi & Groot ][ OTA: Multi-Thread
[The other good thing about Christmas? Mistletoe. The better thing about Groot? He can grow his own damn Mistletoe. There's sprigs of that shit popping up all over the place and these two are responsible. Kenzi appreciates that she doesn't even need a stepladder cause Groot can just, lift her up to position it.
There may even by snippets of Christmas Carols but they're being sung by Kenzi so they're off key and reworked to suit her perverted nature;]
Tis the season to get Jolly... Bow-wow-chicka-wow.... Bow-Chicka-wow. [She's also totally available for make-outs. What. IT'S CHRISTMAS.]
A
[There's a man leaning on a mop standing there staring at the two of them. He's very tall and wearing blue work clothes.]
Do you have any idea, any idea how hard it is to keep a castle clean when there's a big hole in it? No, of course you don't, cause I'm the only one who does any real work around here. You're probably too busy polishing your armor and rescuing puppies to think about that. And now you bring a tree in? To get leaves and dirt everywhere? Who do you think is going to have to clean all that up?
That's it.
[He points to his eyes, then at Kenzi and Groot.]
I'm taking you down.

Mars
[ Mars had spent most of his free time helping with repairs, when not doing that he was out hurting his bank account buying presents. Christmas had always been important to him as a child, but since he left America he found it harder and harder to be excited for anything besides surprising his friends. This was the first year he wasn't flying home. He had his hair tied back in a manbun, his iPhone balanced on one shoulder as he cursed into the phone at whoever he was talking to in a much louder and foul tone than he usually spoke to anyone... while wrapping up the last gift he bought. Venus was napping on the couch ignoring her human's emotional outburst. ]
B. Around the Castle || Multi thread
[ After his mild breakdown in his room Mars made his way out of the room moving quietly, he had a bag at his side holding the presents. He felt like he was all the wrong look for Santa. A tall, long haired skinny guy, in a sweater that's seen better days. Yeah, he's not anyone's idea of Santa. And it's the first time in months he's been out of his room without his hair tied up in a man-bun. Still he was out looking for his friends and close acquaintances. Despite his melancholy mood he tries to smile for anyone he passes.]

Deryn Multi-threads
[ With the insomnia that had been hitting him since the attacks Deryn was awake more at night than in the morning. Catching rides out whenever he could with multiple people so he could take care of Christmas shopping. Learning to drive was officially on his list of things to do this upcoming year. Christmas was a happy memory for him, he had two Christmas's with his pseudo-family back in Leira. He didn't have any religious beliefs, but he loved the idea of giving presents to the people he cared about. Like the year before he had been given money by the couple, which in turn he used to buy gifts for his his friends here, and mail gifts back home... even if he was supposed to use the money to replace what clothes he lost, opps.
He could be found any night leading up to, and during the holidays randomly looking at the Mistletoe Kenzi and Groot put up confused by it, or just wandering around, a happy nod, or quiet hello given to anyone he passed. In the day he had on sunglasses, at night they were pushed up into his hair.]
B. Gifts
[ On the evenings between the 24th-26th that random presents were left infront of the doors of his friends. Most had the same little card 'Happy holidays' with just a fancy D. signed. One who didn't have a card was Sam Winchester, his door there was just a box with the same wrapping paper as all the others. It's easy to catch Deryn sneaking away after leaving each gift. Or find him hanging out in what's left of his room still.]
C. Choose your own adventure
[ Whatever you'd like for them to do! ]
b } assuming this is the right david?
You didn't have to do this.
[He says as he starts to open it.]
Yep!

found family christmas | closed
She won't ICly designate it to a specific holiday, because they all celebrate (or don't celebrate) different things, and due to the construction around the castle, she's keeping things simple this year, but she wants to do something. Set up in the TV room, the food consists of pies, both in the form of pizza and various dessert pies of varying flavors, as well as a makeshift bar set up against the far wall for those who are thirsty. Malina has small presents for some people, nothing of consequence but things that are sweet and from the heart if nothing else.
Feel free to mix and mingle and get to know people you don't already! Otherwise have fun.]
[OOC: Everyone who responds will get a Malina. Feel free to set up something OTA to the party or just tag around, or closed things if you're looking to do something specific.]

felicity braddock | ota
Because she's got a new niece to buy a shit ton of baby crap for. IT'S LUCIA'S FIRST CHRISTMAS so she may be ... going a bit overboard. For a baby that isn't even hers. Who's mother doesn't even celebrate Christmas. Don't judge her.
But she is going to be around for all of your holiday needs. Whether it's her carrying an impressive amount of presents in and out of the castle, or handing out presents to friends and family, or dressing up her favorite glowbug like the world's most adorable elf, she is all for holiday shenanigans.
Feel free to come hang out with her (and Lucia)!]

[ vi plucks a present from felicity's pile as she and lu are taking a break in the kitchen, giving it a shake. hopefully it wasn't glass. oh well, she's not sorry. ]

lila & sylar ♔ closed
which is why they're currently in midtown, standing in worldwide plaza and looking around for sylar's kirby plaza. lila puts one gloved hand on her hip, other hand still holding the soft serve cone she's aimlessly licking (it's cold, it won't melt that quickly) as the slight wind swirls her hair around her head. ]

Irish Christmas | Gatewood Family Home | Closed
And the fact that there's plenty of alcohol involved doesn't hurt.
And this year, the house will be a little fuller, with the addition of Bo and Kenzi... Matt and his friend Nate. The usuals in Ella and her brother would be in attendance. And of course Andrew's parents and brother.
If everyone made it out alive, it would be a miracle.
ooc: so this can be one thread or lots of subthreads. whatever you're in the mood for.]

[Bo makes sure to get some exclusive hubby time as they're getting ready to leave and make their way to Andrew's parent's home. She's double checking their things, making sure they're about ready to leave, but hasn't quite put her coat on.]
Do we have everything? Besides Kenzi, I mean.
party time aw yus ; ota
[Bo mingles as she does, and no matter how tense or strange things have been in the past, she's never been one to let that keep her from having a good time. She seems in an especially happy mood, but for her that's...not all that unusual, lbr.

Gaz Kothari | open!
[ As Gaz wanders the castle, one nagging question comes to mind: What in the Nine Hells is 'Christmas' and why is everyone worshipping a tree? Are they all secretly druids? Okay, so maybe that's more than one question. In any case, she doesn't understand the excitement in the air or all the decorations put up all around the place. It's as foreign to her as anything else in this realm is, which is to say very foreign. She spends long hours staring at Christmas trees and nativity scenes, trying to piece together what it all means. ]
Action!
[ She also wanders the castle whenever possible, wanting to get familiar with the lay of the land. A lot of it is under construction, but she's thankful to find a still operable training room. That, at least, is familiar. One might find her practicing with her swords at any hour day or night. When in doubt, fight. That's Gaz's way. ]
Wilderness... Sort of.
[ Not wanting to limit herself to the castle itself, Gaz also explores the wooded area outside. The cold weather is an annoyance; it had been summer before she arrived, or so she thinks she remembers, and then she came to in a southern land they call Africa, where it was much warmer than this London place. Still, she finds herself a leather coat and gathers all her fortitude to brave whatever elements she may face. ]

Elijah Mikaelson | ota
[Anybody would run when they learned Niklaus Mikaelson was to be their mentor, and Elijah is no exception. Though, he'll claim it was merely to finish up business in New Orleans that ended up taking months and leaving him away from the castle when it was attacked. But his own, rather intense, anger at Niklaus aside, there are other, more pertinent reasons to return and he can't stay away forever.
In another life, the return of a Mikaelson might be a big deal, but he isn't Niklaus, his own importance has far diminished since arriving in this world. He arrives a few days before Christmas, several small packages tucked under his arm, looking like a man on a mission. He searches through the castle til he finds them, hesitating when he does. After all, he'd left with little trace of himself after the ceremony, hadn't even taken the time to say hello.]
Hayley.
ii) around the castle | multi thread
[No matter how his reunion with Hayley and
HopeOlivia goes, Elijah chooses to stay. His business in New Orleans is done, and he took an oath when he joined and Elijah is nothing if not a man of his word.He's not particularly inclined to wander, though, he does take his time to learn what remains of the layout, though curiously, he avoids any areas that might still be less than sparkling clean. Hopefully nothing... happens.... to disrupt that...... Otherwise, the (remains of the) library become his main hangout when he isn't clearly shadowing Hayley, alternating between devouring whatever history books he can get his hands on and helping with whatever's left to be done.]
» ii
But she's out in other areas of the castle more now. She's not back to 100% normal, but seeing Wanda outside her sect's wing isn't quite as rare as it was even two weeks ago. Which is how she's in the library remains now, looking for something to read. Anything, really.
As she passes Elijah, her eyes glance to the title of the book he's looking over in his hands. It's some history topic.]
History aficionado, or are you new and trying to figure things out? [Wanda offers him a small smile, her tone in the question light and also both curious and understanding. She'd started for the history books when she first arrived here six years ago, trying to figure things out about the new-ish world to her.]

cora & malia | closed
It's not that she didn't want to be it's just that she had some Stuff she was dealing with and people she was worried about being permanently dead. However once the rezzes have passed and she's gotten done with her stint of hiding in the woods, she makes a point of tracking down her squire, wanting to make sure she was okay.
So she follows her nose and her nose leads her to the kitchen, Bernie trotting on her heels because HEY IF WE'RE GOING TO THE KITCHEN DOES THAT MEAN I GET TO EAT TOO!?!?!?! But Cora puts that off for now and just looks to Malia with a small, albeit awkward smile.]
Hey.

When she enters the kitchen, she glances to her with a nod.] Hey.
[Her hand is still sore, but the wound has mostly healed since the attack. Her fingertips still trace over her palm, expecting it not to be there, but the angry red line is still there. The reminder if how different things are here than home.]

Poe Dameron | Back Lawn (Dec 18th) [single thread]
The veil, in it's infinite wisdom, had decided to give the residents of the Knights an early Christmas present. That could really be the only reason why the sky above the London castle crackled with electricity before spitting out a flying ship that wasn't really all that common in their world. It was loud though, and malfunctioning as tendrils of the lighting storm danced along the surface. If you listened over the sound of the engines, you could hear an electronic beeping that almost matched a scream before going silent.
The pilot was inside a cockpit filling up with smoke, and he struggled but was able to get the ship to land on the back lawn - just without the landing gear. Crashing with style, he would point out, but at the moment his biggest concern was to open the cockpit and climb the fuck out of it because he couldn't breathe. He landed on his own two feet, coughing as as he looking around at his surroundings.
"Beebee-Ate, do you have any idea where the sith we are?"
There was no response from the droid, and that wasn't good. Even while he was still coughing and his face was dirty from the smoke and electric discharge from his systems frying - and there was a good chance his ship could explode at any time - he pulled himself up and walked along the top of the ship to where the tiny head of a small droid could be seen. Poe knelt down in front of it, and sighed as he realized that his friend was running diagnostics. He went to sit on the ship, taking off his helmet and tossing it as far as he could throw it.
"Just let me know when you're done. I think that storm scrambled more than just the ship." He rubbed his head, feeling a headache growing in the back of his skull.

Not wanting to be rude, (though, pretty sure she'll still be rude), Rebekah moves toward the other blonde and tests the waters. Who knows what this girl has forgotten because of the Veil. Maybe she's gone mute. Wouldn't that be something.]
Caroline. Lovely for you to join us. [It's not lovely. Not at all.]

I feel like I'm rummaging through a kindergarten play bin.
i hope you're ready for this lmfao
Oh for fuck's sake. [Wow, Wanda, BE NICE. Also spoilers -- here's how to tell she's really annoyed: her curses are in English instead of Sokovian. She is so annoyed Tony got here before Pietro. So fuckin annoyed. Sighs. Give her time, Tony; she'll probably warm up to you. Probably.]

Derek Hale | open (Dec 23rd on)
He had had a lot of time to think while he was away, and he was determined not to let the fact he couldn't remember his past bother him as he had let it before. This was his life now, and he had proved to himself he could do good here. Now he needed to find a way to make a life here that he would want. To do that, he needed to figure out where he stood with some people - one in particular.
The demolition of the castle wasn't what he was expecting, but he could imagine it had been worse. And he could at least do some things here to help. So he hiked his bag up on his shoulder and headed to find a place to bunk down in again and see where he could help. And somewhere that day, he would hunt his little sister down.
When he wasn't working on construction, he would be in the library helping with the books and putting it back together. He wasn't really big on leisure activities, but he may be found reading a book while idly eating a meal every now and then as well.
[ooc: open to prose or action threads]
no subject
There are people she doesn't - Abigail, Henry - but as of right now, Derek isn't on that list. Not with the way things stood after Andres. She understands that it's not really his fault - he didn't choose to have the Veil take her away from him, but the fact that he wouldn't stay and try hurts all the same. The walls are up, especially after what happened in the castle, and she isn't inclined to bring them down around him anytime soon.
She's in her room when he tracks her down, something that isn't particularly her style, but she and Abigail have been adding little touches to make them feel more at home. There are constellations on her ceiling mirror in glow in the dark paint and the bedspread has been changed out for something more practical and warm, but there's not much else she can do about the general decor. Her back is to the door when he gets there, but she catches his scent first (wisdom 11), something so ingrained in her since birth that she doesn't need to look at him to know it's him.
Her first reaction is torn between anger (what took you so long), happiness (you came back), and anxiety (how long until you leave again), and as much as she tries to swallow it all down and pretend to feel nothing, she can't (will save crit fail). So she doesn't turn around, fingers tightening around the chew toy she's holding in her hand before she finally manages to speak.
"You're back."
From the swirls of emotion underlying her speech, it's hard to tell how she actually feels about that.

rey / anywhere there might be christmas decorations / ota
The castle is massive—in equal disrepair to Maz Kanata's, she imagines, but kept better, polished and neat, a home for Knights, not smugglers. It's like nothing Rey has ever seen, but not far from what she could imagine the Jedi Order must have been like. Clean edges, organization, warmth.
She settles into one of the remaining half-destroyed squire rooms with only a small leather satchel to show for her possessions and sets about quietly exploring the castle, as unobtrusive as she can be.
Doing so greets her with the vast and overwhelming spirit of Christmas—lights, garlands, and decorative paper brighten the castle halls to contrast the dust and ruin. Startled by the opulence, she takes care in examining these details, accepting it with (albeit confused) smiles. ]

katniss everdeen ; for francesca & ota
[It's been a very long time since she's seen this place, and yet it's a mess compared to what she remembers.
Her brows furrow as she takes in the destruction, noting that there's been plenty of construction going on, so this must be an improvement over its previous state. That doesn't exactly give her good feelings.]
I know they said there was an attack, but...
[With a castle filled with knights, she hadn't quite expected this.]
anywhere and everywhere ; ota ; multi-thread
[Katniss seems...different, though that's probably to be expected. It's been years since she seen anyone, having left to deal with the horrible, scattered, and harmful memories plaguing her thoughts and her sleep since her arrival through the Veil.
While she's certainly not outgoing or even necessarily approachable, some of the weight and the darkness weighing down on her seems lifted, as if she's not constantly sure that someone is going to shoot her in the back.
The easiest places to run into her are the archery range, during meal times, or quietly reading in the library. On days where it's a little warmer, she can also be found outside wandering through the trees. Feel free to talk to her anywhere, however.]
only for you, katniss
Well. Surprise, surprise. So you're back for good this time, sweetheart?

des for the holidays ⌘ OTA
For the most part, he spends his time with his failboat fambly or bumming around watching cheesy Christmas specials, while cleaning his weapons, because that's the normal and sane thing to do during the holidays. At least he seems to be in good spirits, which... really depending on who you are might not be that great. A Des who isn't even a little bit like an agitated cat is weird.]
no subject
Out of the few people Wanda bought presents for, Des was one of them. So they've had a grand total of one conversation, but he'd been nice and she'd been able to enjoy their talk enough to actually make a stupid joke or two. When she did her small list of Christmas shopping, she'd gotten him a small gift -- well, actually, there are two different things in the box.
When she sees him around again, she has to go back to her room to get the wrapped gift, and bring it to where he's chilling out.]
Sorry to interrupt the weapons cleaning, but ... [and hands him the box with a small smile.] Merry Christmas.

Her mind reaches out instinctively to touch his, as it so often has, but today she stops herself.
Withdraws, instead.
Backing away from the chamber, her skin crystallizes and hardens into impenetrable diamond, steeling her heart and blocking her telepathy—closing herself off from what she puts herself through by being here. ]

Pietro Maximoff | open (Jan 22nd and onward)
Anyone that happens to be outside would probably notice a silver/blue blur making multiple laps along the castle grounds. He'll be more open to talking towards the end of his run, at least for as long as it takes him to catch his breath.
Of course, running makes you hungry, so super running makes you super hungry (clearly). His next stop is the kitchen, to noisily inhale whatever free food he can find. Protip: anyone who brings extra snacks will become an instant friend of his.
After fueling up, Pietro will simply explore the castle, both to learn the layout, and to see if he can help with any of the repairs. Feel free to drag him into any drama/repairs/errands, or just stop by and say hi.]
did you just hear that super loud yelling? that was me.
You found your way home.
[No, this isn't Sokovia -- or even what's left of it. This isn't even their world. But neither of those matter, not the way she speaks of them now in this context, because 'home' is always considered to be where they both are.]
