UN: Twilight Sparkles | @Everyone

[Sam's taken to using the voice setting. Less obnoxious than text. And anyway, vampires don't show up in video. So her lovely, Midwestern voice rings out over the network.]

So, just wondering. Is anyone else in this clown rodeo as skeeved out by this "Secret Santa" missive as I am? I mean, don't get me wrong. I'm bored as fuck. I'm gonna do it. Way more entertaining than counting the cracks in my ceiling. But seriously...what the hell are the Overlords going for here?

[She will never call them "Observers."]

A shitty morale boost? What the actual?

Or is it just me? Am I the only one being bombarded with this crap?

...just wondering.

[A pause.]

And, I mean, if people are jonesing to do Etsy nonsense, my birthday is January 8. Just saying.

((ooc: This post will not reveal who Sam got. Please warn in your header if your muse is revealing who they got, in case anyone wants to be surprised.))

Maybe not.

But if we're rats in a maze, there's probably a reward waiting at the end, assuming we stay "obedient."

I guess I'm curious.

Me too.

Do you really think this counts as being rats?
I kind of feel like I'm in the second grade again.
I liked arts and crafts.

I mean, second-graders are kind of like rats?

[She gives a faint laugh, but it doesn't linger.]

This may seem harmless enough, but they could be conditioning us. Training us by asking us to do little things, then gradually demanding bigger things. People can get to a point where they'll murder, if they think there's a reward in it for them.

...I've seen it happen.

I guess it depends on why we're doing it.

Yeah.

Gotta remember who we are.

I'd like to think I'd do an arts and craft project even if there was no reward.

[She laughs. More genuine, this time.]

I knew there had to be a reason I liked you.

Because of arts and crafts?

[Have one confused monk.]

Yes. That's exactly it, Danny. That's absolutely the only reason at all why I like you.

[You can practically hear her rolling her eyes. Stupid boys are stupid.]

Oh.

Cool.

I think.

[Stupid boys are stupid and Danny is a little confused.]

[Oh boy.]

Might also have something to do with the fact that you're sweet. And kind. And totally casing me out about presents.

Not exactly casing.

[He'd been really trying to keep it a surprise...]

Fair enough.

We're still on for Christmas morning, right?

Yeah. Did you want to sleep together that night?

I mean...

[He is totally not smooth.]

[She laughs. Not unkindly. But there might be a bit of a snort.]

Wow, Danny.

How could you even ask me something like that?

Obviously. The whole point of Christmas Eve is waking up to presents in the morning.

I KNOW!

I just meant, the Dojo or the Inn? Did you have a preference?

[Thank god he's alone while texting because he's blushing like crazy.]

Depends, I guess.

I mean, on where you stand with your room mates and all...

[She gets that he might not want to broadcast what they've been up to. But she's not sure how to ask that...]

I think they know something is up but they don't know it's you.

We can stay in my room until they're gone for the day.
Or be at the inn.

[So he does want to keep it quiet. Good to know.]

Which ever you'd prefer. I mean, you spent Hanukkah in my bath tub, so I guess fair is fair.

You want to spend Christmas in my bathtub?

[See, he can tease people too.]

Well. I mean, if you have hot water...

I do not...

[Which he's now thinking is a shame.]

I can try and make it hot.

I think maybe let's avoid hypothermia for Christmas.

Good idea.

So I'll see you Christmas Eve? My place?

Yeah.

It's...a date.

[Is it? Are they ready for dates yet?]
