[Actually, Kotetsu's been pretty active behind the scenes. He knows Christmas is around the corner, so he's been... covertly getting things together for certain people. Today he drops them by houses or apartments that he can find-the list is as follows:

[That he receives a Christmas present from Kotetsu at all just strikes Sanji as odd. They don't know each other very well. Sanji wouldn't classify the guy as a friend, or even close to one. But... a globe and knife sharpeners, huh?

The snow globe goes on his desk (after he gives it a good shake when no one's looking). The sharpeners, in the kitchen, naturally.

Then he finds his journal still in his room, and takes it to his desk. Might as well get this over with.]

Oi. Kotetsu.

[wildkotetsu]

[Hm... ? Oh, curlybrow! You're up sooner than he even guessed. Looks like you're made of sturdier stuff after all.]

Eh? Hey! How're ya doing?

[ARE YOU RESTING YOU BETTER BE RESTING.]

[odastillhatesme]

Fine. [MOVING ON.]

Got your gifts. [Pause, and then a tad awkwardly, despite his half-smile] Not bad.

Thanks.

[wildkotetsu]

No need for a thanks! It's the spirit of the holidays, yknow. Good time to practice good cheer and all that stuff.

[wildkotetsu]

.... [O-okay, just one little pet, huh? You're looking at me all like 'PLEASE PET ME', I can't even help myself. And you look like you're related to my beard I think.]

Hey there, little fella...

[wildkotetsu]

[dfjsdhfkjh ALMOST DROPPED THE SAKE :U

He swivels around, looking like he's caught in headlights.]

Gah!! Don't sneak up on a guy like that! I could've ruined your christmas gift, y'know!

[Which. He didn't bother wrapping. He figured you'd tell with or without the wrap. :|]

[Voice]

[mikangirl]

Has anyone ever told you that you're the best person ever!?

[FEEL APPRECIATED for as long as it lasts. Treasure is all Kotetsu. ALL. *_*]

[Voice] stupid tiny laptop B|

[wildkotetsu]

[He laughs, rubbing the back of his head.] Not too often, no. I guess you really do have an eye for riches, huh?

[Voice] LMAO those things suck

[mikangirl]

Well, of course. I'm a pirate, after all. I think I'm now the richest girl in Luceti.

[...not that that counts for anything, but SHE LIKES THINKING IT OKAY.]

[Voice]

[wildkotetsu]

[heheh |D]

Maybe you should start a collection. Like collecting stamps--except you collect money from all different worlds.

The ones I gave you are from my world, anyway. Didn't have much use for it, but I figured you could try something like that.

[Voice] Because these two should meet when he's NOT drunk.

[goldenglasses]

Not sure if I'd really know what a ten year old would like, but I think if she knew she'd be really happy you're thinking so much of her right now. [It's just so sweet!]

[Voice] BLASPHEMY!!

[wildkotetsu]

Maaa, I wonder.... She might just complain that I'm being embarrassing.

It's hard not to think of your kids on a day like this, though!

[Voice] Fine. Next time - DRUNK VASH AGAIN

[goldenglasses]

Hehe, yeah, maybe she would. Although I sometimes wonder if kids say that when what the really want to say: Aw, I'm so glad you thought about me! Or well... something like that.

Sorry you have to be stuck here instead of with her. [IT'S JUST SO SAD! No really, it is. :(]

[Voice] good. >:^[

[wildkotetsu]

I guess so. But hey! Don't even sweat it; I'll be back home in no time, and at least I'm not leaving her alone, right? I guess it's just a weird parent thing, buying stuff for kids who're away.

[lightningcute]

[You have all the luck today, Kotetsu! And by that I mean none of the luck.

Pao-lin's in the kitchen on the top floor of CH7, baking Christmas presents for all her peeps. She's in the process of mixing some cookie dough when she spots Kotetsu passing by the open door of the kitchen. Curious, she pokes her head out to investigate.]

Mr. Tiger?

[wildkotetsu]

[FREEZE.

He swivels around, present behind his back, and he grins.]

H-hey! What's up??

[lightningcute]

Me? I'm just baking everyone's Christmas gifts at the moment. [The smell of chocolate and gingerbread is probably pretty obvious by this point.] What are you doing here?

[wildkotetsu]

[|D]

Actually...

[bah, screw it. Surprise? He holds up the wrapped gift, smiling.]

Merry Christmas? You caught me in the act, I guess!
