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.]

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

"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.

[needsaparrot]

"Hopefully not, since I have dancing-related plans."

"Good," Bridge says. "And the sooner you open these, the sooner we can get started on that," he adds, handing over the last (http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/tools/917f/) three (http://www.uncommongoods.com/item/item.jsp?itemId=16025) gifts (http://www.uncommongoods.com/item/item.jsp?source=family&itemId=15935). It's possible he went a little overboard on this gift-giving thing.

Xander stares at them for a bit after he opens them, a grin spreading across his face. Though it's preceded by a tiny, worried frown. "Should I be frightened that tools are turning me on?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"It was maybe kind of part of the plan," Bridge admits with a sheepish grin.

[needsaparrot]

"Well, it's not the tools, exactly." Yes it is. A little. "It's, y'know. The... youness." Ah yes. Xander Harris, Man of Worditude.

"I like things that have multiple uses!" Bridge says, defending his present choices. Not that they actually *needed* defending and all.

[needsaparrot]

"Like beds?" Xander suggests, oh so subtly. "Or couches even."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Well, I have been thinking of tricking out my- oh. You mean like..."

[needsaparrot]

"I mean like... tricking out?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"With, you know..." Bridge trails off, making a twirly hand motion. "You'll laugh."

[needsaparrot]

"Probably," Xander agrees, with a grin. "This is a minus? I like laughing. You may've noticed."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, but I mean you'll laugh at *me*," Bridge sticks his tongue out.

[needsaparrot]

"I will do my absolute bestiest best not to," Xander promises, trying to wipe the grin off his face.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"I was thinking, it'd be handy if it also made popcorn. For, you know, when it's late and you need a snack..."

[needsaparrot]

That would be his lips twitching, yes. Though, "What if it had a mini-fridge in it too? For ice cream?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"I didn't think of that!" Bridge grins excitedly. He might be revising blueprints in his head now, yes.

[needsaparrot]

"And like, a little broiler drawer for keeping your socks warm."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"That wouldn't be too much?"

[needsaparrot]

"Well it wouldn't actually broil them. Just be, y'know. Slightly toasty. Oh hey - a toaster!"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge just looks at Xander. "So, uh. You remember that thing you said?"

[needsaparrot]

"Which thing? About the fridge? Because you could do dacquiris in there too, actu--"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"About being worried that tools were turning you on."

[needsaparrot]

"...Yeah?" Xander coughs. 'Cause...yeah, he got distracted, but not that distracted.
