Christmas Elf

[random_xtras]

The truck is here, sitting pretty in the light of the sign after arriving sometime in what passes for the night around here. It's another white one, this time with candy cane stripe accents, and the elf that accompanies it is busy setting up shop. A tall and lanky young fellow with brown hair and frank green eyes, he's singing a Christmas song to

"Eeeee!!!! Drift-Bubby!!!" The squeal comes from a woman who looks like she's in her early to mid twenties.... Except for the bright pink harness that she's wearing. The young man holding the leash looks like he could almost be her brother, and like he's been trying his hardest to keep the woman from running away. The frazzled expression he wears is evidence of the difficulty he's had with that, even with the fact that he brought along some friends to help keep things calm.

"Easy, Desti...."

"It smells like parched carrot seeds in fat.... I think Anna must have made it...." Drift's eyes crinkle at the corners as he grins, "I'll visit them sometime soon... I can find them again...."

Destiny clicks at the ferret, before looking to see what Five has. Then she's squealing and clickstorming at her nanny.

"...Fat?" Fire Robo blinks. "What's it for?"

"Yup. It's already set to the locator we gave them," says Fir. "So you can go any time."

Five, in the meantime, is now seeing if Destiny will let her set the hat on the excited sparklet's head.

[microbots]

Drift's grin gets just a bit bigger, "It's something to eat, but only in small amounts... I'll see about visiting the Clarksons in a few days...."

Destiny holds still once she realizes what Five wants to do, though it's clear she wants to celebrate the pretty.

[random_xtras]

"...Eat?" Fire Robo sniffs and then makes a clear expression of surprise at the strong smell coming from the fat and seed mixture.

And Five gently settles the hat, and then sits back. "Aid!"

"Aid!" agrees Three, nodding as their sisters titter happily.

[microbots]

Drift nods, mind turning to gifts that the Clarksons would like. Fruits, vegetables, and the like, perhaps....

Destiny will move to scale Five and clickstorm happily before looking to Fir, "Gifts for Fire and Aiders?"

[random_xtras]

"We get gifts?" Fire turns his head with surprise, distracted from the fat and seed mixture.

"Yup." Fir chuckles and hands out bags, and then small packages addressed in Heavy Duty's scrawl. "Happy Christmas."

[microbots]

Destiny will clickstorm and croon lovingly to her new babby, all while leaning to try and see what Five got.... And while she's doing that, she'll shuck her harness and leash.

[random_xtras]

"Noms." Five examines the twisted copper wire shapes that were in her package, then compares them to those her sisters and Fire got. Satisfied that all is well on that front, she offers one of the treats to Destiny and then looks in her velvet bag. "Chamois. ...Tat!"

"What?" Fire looks up from playing with his new giant transforming action figure. "Oh no."

"Yes!" The leather clad Aider happily holds up the flaming skull decal as her sisters titter and giggle.

[microbots]

"Ooo, good noms...." Destiny will thank Five for the treat, and then start clickstorming as she remembers something Very Important.... Only to get distracted by what Five got, "EEEEE! Tattoo!!!"

"Oh, no...." Drift is laughing though, so really, it's not that bad of a gift.... "Just don't stick it to Fire's butt, okay?"

[random_xtras]

"No," says Five primly, then thoughtfully holds the decal near her own butt before trying it against her chest.

Her sisters, meanwhile, titter softly as they find their own goodies and adornments in their gifts. Two is soon softly glimmering due to the contents of a big pot of shimmer gel, while Three and Four are comparing chrome ornaments.

"And here's part of Lockdown's gift." Fir offers the average size bag to Drift.

[microbots]

Drift blinks a bit, before nodding and carefully storing the bag in his subspace, "I'll make sure she gets it."

Destiny is currently clickstorming happily at the Aider Robos, though that clickstorming is starting to get interspersed with little grumpy sounds and yawns. Seems someone was so excited to see the Christmas Elf that she skipped naptime.....

[random_xtras]

"Nap." Five has noticed those yawns. She puts away her gifts and then gathers Destiny into her arms and cuddles her gently.

"Aww, is it that time already?" Fire reaches over to touch the big sparklet gently.

[microbots]

Destiny fusses a bit more as she gets comfortably snuggled in Five's arms and proceeds to splatsleep. When she's sleeping like this, it's hard to tell that she's a bit of a holy terror most of the time....

Drift chuckles softly before looking to the Christmas Elf. "I think some of the other families will be by later.... Thank you again for the gifts."

[random_xtras]

Fir grins as he gathers up his ferret. "Don't forget to hang up your stockings. Oh, and I suggest going that way. Happy Christmas!"

[microbots]

Drift nods, and moves to try and herd his group off in the direction suggested.
