[It's late morning when Grune happily addresses any and all listening through the journals. She's had a busy start to her day rescuing one of her friends from freezing to death, but now things are back on track and she's ready to do this Christmas thing!]Happy Christmas, everyone! I hope you're all having a wonderful day

[And convenient circumstances behold, Ginia is out delivering presents to all her friends when she runs into Grune. Sure, she may look a bit odd wearing sunglasses in the middle of winter, but they're so amazingly stylish. Ginia grins and waves.]

Hi, Grune! Merry Christmas!

[Action]

[lostinmyway]

[Grune definitely isn't going to notice anything weird. Instead, when she sees Ginia, she beams.]

Merry Christmas! [Is that what you're supposed to say?] I have a present for you.

[She starts sorting through her bag.]

[Action]

[shadedsunlight]

Oh? You do? You shouldn't have. Though um, I have a gift for you too.

[Ginia also begins checking her bags. Now which one was it....]

[Vash isn't home most of the day. Spending most of it out looking to see if the Malnosso had returned his two best friends yet today.

She can either find him wandering around the woods or if she visits later that evening he'll be headed home.]

[Action]

[lostinmyway]

[It takes her a little while to find Vash, but she eventually locates him on his way home. The moment she sees him, she...sort of wanders a little faster towards him.]

Hello, Vash! Happy Christmas!

[goldenglasses]

Merry Christmas, Grune. How are you doing today?

[Action]

[lostinmyway]

Oh, I'm doing very well! Christmas is such a nice holiday, isn't it?

Are you having fun, too?

[Action] Wah! I got a present!

[redjacketthief]

[Grune happens to catch Lupin while he's out on a walk, enjoying a smoke and a cup of coffee after annoying a certain guy with hair like Farah Fawcett. Unfortunately, the gift-giving aspect of Christmas has completely slipped his mind. Normally he just kicks back to have a glass of wine or champagne with his friends--which he will do later in the evening.]

Ah! Grune-chan! Merry Christmas!

[Action] Yup! Lupin's interacted with Grune twice, and thus she thinks they're wonderful friends. XD

[lostinmyway]

Merry Christmas, Arsene! I have a present for you!

[And she starts digging through her bag. Rustle rustle go a lot of papers!]

[Action] Aww! She's so sweet!

[redjacketthief]

[He's not going to bother correcting him--he recognizes a lost cause. Instead, he watches her and dumbly points a finger at himself.]

For me?

[It dawns on him that--oh, right! People normally give eachother presents on Christmas! They don't go and steal entire jewelry stores on a whim!]

I got something for you too, Grune-chan. Hang on a second...

[He frantically digs through his pockets for something to give her return for her gesture.]

[Action] That's Grune for you. <3

[lostinmyway]

[Lupin is lucky Grune is so trusting, because he's being pretty transparent right now. However, she believes him unquestioningly.]

Oh, my, that's very kind of you!

[A few more moments, and she pulls out...a piece of paper.] Here you are!

[When he takes it, Lupin will find a drawing, done in paint, pencil crayon, and crayon (because when Grune wants a particular shade, she doesn't care what form it comes in). It's a not particularly skilled but still recognizable drawing of the two of them dancing at the Christmas ball. It's clear she put a lot of care into it.]

[Fuuko wasn't intending to leave the apartment today, Christmas being a time for family, friends and all that. However someone had been kind enough to give her a real starfish for Christmas, so she's running off to the library to find a book on how to properly take care of one.

On her way, Fuuko runs right past Grune without noticing her in her hurry!]

[Action]

[lostinmyway]

[Grune's reaction time is pretty terrible, so Fuuko will probably have run quite a distance before Grune manages to call out:] Oh, Fuuko!

[mikangirl]

[She may eventually find Nami close to the orchard in a heated conversation with ...

...a giant duck. 8|]

No means no! Go find something else to eat!

[lostinmyway]

[Grune doesn't so much as blink at the sight, but only calls out:] Happy Christmas, Nami! Is that your new friend?

[mikangirl]

[And turning.] Grune!

[So does the duck. |D] Kaaa!

Uh, yeah. This is Biri. He's from home.

[lostinmyway]

[She gives the duck her usual bright smile.]

It's very nice to meet you, Biri!

[Nami must like birds very much, because Grune is always seeing them around her. She should remember this for next Christmas!

And thinking of Christmas....] I have a present for you!

[Now where did it go?]
