[This is Demyx.

This is also Demyx picking splinters out of his fingers with a sheet covering something on the kitchen table while he glances between his fingertips and the SFC every few seconds.] Does anyone got any idea why all the locals are bugging me to hang up a sock? I mean, I get that Christmas is coming up, but I dunno what socks hafta do

You're supposed to hang up stockings. That way, when Santa comes, he can fill it up with presents for you.

I really don't think he wants my socks, dude.

No, no, no. You don't use your sock. You use a stocking.

[There's clearly a difference here, Demyx.]

...Aren't they the same thing?

If the city decides to gift us anything again, I'm not opening it. I don't care what might be inside the box... but unless it makes noise and fights its own way out. Whatever this place decides to give me can stay in the box it comes in.

[He still remembers his last Christmas here rather well, unfortunately. He's in no mood to be teased with having a heart again, no matter the intentions behind it's being granted to him.]

What if it rattles around?

[Hey, at least he can take comfort in the fact that he woke up with his pants on.]

[sechstel]

.... I might consider it. Maybe.

[He's smart enough not to go drinking with Xigbar, of course he would wake up with his pants on.]

Maybe? Aww, c'mon! Where's your sense of adventure?

[In hindsight, maybe it wasn't the best of ideas.]

You have no idea how good a hot spring would be right about now.

[Lea has officially decided that the holidays suck. He is exhausted and it shows.]

[ninthserenade]

Yeah, it looks like you could use some R&R or something, man. You look like you're gonna drop dead--should I swing on by and pick you up?

[prominence_glow]

So many freakin' presents! I think I'm going to go insane. Why couldn't I have been born an introvert? I almost think I need less friends.

[Lies and exagerration. Lea wouldn't give up his friends for anything.]

Sure. Just gimme a mo' to get dressed and everythin'. How lazy should I look?

Hey, at least you know the gist of what to get people. I'm pretty much reaching for straws at this point--'cept with you, I already have yours almost finished. It's a pain when I dunno what I should get Karkat 'n stuff.

[Actually it's under that sheet but shhhhh.]

Depends if y'wanna go skinny dipping or not.
