MCA0: Saturday Night

[needsaparrot]

While Fandom weirdness had been laying low for a while aside from certain timeline-related Moments Of Awkward, holiday and birthday-type activities had more than stepped up to fill in the space. So tonight's a rare night of relaxing in front of the tv, since most of Xander's non-party time this week has been spent up in the workshop, not being an elf. Exactly.

But certainly not burglarizing Christmas, unlike someone on his tv screen right now.

[OOC: For the non-redheaded tiny Jewish Santa b-word-person.]

There's the click of a door unlocking, followed by something that sounds like... well, several other somethings tumbling to the floor. Possibly because that's exactly what it is. "Uh, hi!" Bridge calls out, and there's yet more shuffling as he attempts to close the door without dropping everything else he's carrying.

[needsaparrot]

Xander looks up from the tv and calls, "If you came to steal Christmas, you're doing it wrong."

Then he actually makes his way over to the door to help.

"Why would I steal Christmas when I've already got a perfectly good winter gift-giving holiday of my own?" Bridge says reasonably.

[needsaparrot]

"I dunno - it just seems to be going around," Xander says, pointing over his shoulder towards the den, from whence the sounds of Christmas-thievery can be heard.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Ooh," Bridge says. "And hey, speaking of gift-giving holidays..." yeah, there goes the top package again.

[needsaparrot]

Xander grabs for it. "Yeah, see this is why I said you were doing it wrong. With the bringing instead of the taking."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"But I *like* the bringing part!" Bridge protests. "And possibly there should be bringing of these into the den, because then there can be movie *and* presents."

[needsaparrot]

"See me arguing? This is me arguing," Xander says as he leads the way into the den. "Also this is popcorn." He points to the table.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Looks like a table to me," Bridge says, sticking his tongue out.

[needsaparrot]

"There's popcorn on the table, Tiny Jewish Santa." Xander sticks his tongue out.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Oh!" Bridge says, setting the packages down next to the popcorn before flopping down on the couch. "Hey! I don't sneak down your chimney and eat your food!"

[needsaparrot]

"No, you sneak in the door and eat my food!"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"But you gave me a key!" Bridge flails. "And usually when I'm coming over it's because I've been *invited* to spend time with you and the food is really just part of that. So it's different."

[needsaparrot]

"Also I don't have a chimney and I like Santa? But I don't want to do the horizontal macarena with him," Xander says, leaning over the pile of presents to tap Bridge on the nose.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Good," Bridge says, nodding firmly. "Because I wouldn't want to share. But anyway! Presents. Starting here," he hands Xander a small box (http://www.uncommongoods.com/item/item.jsp?source=related&itemId=13547).

[needsaparrot]

Xander grins and opens the box. Then stares at the cufflinks inside, finally pulling one out to play with the leveling-bubble. "....You know that thing I said about the macarena?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Yes?"

[needsaparrot]

"Wanna dance?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Well, yes," Bridge says, in a 'duh' tone of voice. "But after presents, I think, because otherwise they will sit here all alone and unopened and that would make them sad and you wouldn't want sad presents, right?" Bridge says, digging out two big-ish (http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/awesome/the-keyboard-waffle-iron-257153.php") boxes (http://www.x-tremegeek.com/templates/SearchDetail.asp?productID=16778).

[needsaparrot]

"Sad presents make Baby Je-- you know, bad example." Xander coughs and returns to the task of unwrapping.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Annnnd that'd be Bridge thwapping Xander on the shoulder and valiantly attempting to glare at him. Not that it's working.

[needsaparrot]

"....computer-shaped waffles!" That would be Xander snickering and then sort of falling over on his side with the giggles.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Because, you know, there's that whole 'I fell asleep at the keyboard and now I have waffle-face' thing. Only now the waffles are literal and you eat them, and, well, hopefully they wouldn't still end up all over your face."

[needsaparrot]

"Depends on whether I'm five that weekend or not."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"You make a good point," Bridge admits. "But hopefully you're not planning on turning five any time soon." Because the weetiny thing is totally something you can plan for, right.
