Derek Hale

[garou]

...will be sitting alone in his suite, pretending like it's another normal day. Oops?

[demon_brat]

Derek is getting an ugly sweater from Cassie.

[ironface]

Christmas is not a Thing in Megaten-land so Isabeau's probably just going to be watching with the interest of an anthropologist. She can certainly be swept up in other things, though!

[demon_brat]

Damian might (anonymously) give her something? Like a wooden/shell figurine.

Natasha Romanoff

[vdova]

Natasha's going to the Stark Industries party! Otherwise, she doesn't really celebrate Christmas except as a kind of secular holiday. She'll be getting stuff for her close friends!

Natasha Romanoff

[demon_brat]

Bucky will be giving her personal apparel. And information. As previously discussed! ;)

[jirk]

 Jim Kirk:

Jim will be throwing a Christmas Party for his friends/CR (it's not hard to get yourself invited if you'd like a character to attend! The requirement is p. much 'be a friend of a friend'. There will be ridiculous amounts of decorations/etc, and the post is going up either the 15th or 16th!


 Bruce Wayne:

... I really need someone to talk Bruce into going around as Santa and handing out presents. Who's up for it. /fingersteeple

Froda's peeps

[cmdreffingshepard]

ARTHUR - Has zero plans and is a huge scrooge, will likely be sitting in his suite alone unless someone invites him somewhere or he finds himself with business to deal with.

SHEPARD - Has no plans but would like some! Feel free to invite her! (MIRANDA YOU ARE COMING TO A CHRISTMAS PARTY GIRL).

BOOKER - Will probably be doing a thing in his suite with Elizabeth and the Luteces and whoever else Elizabeth wants to invite? There will be plenty of food no doubt. And sweaters.

try not to get drunk on sweets again Spock

Karin | Una and Lord Henry

[una_persson]

Una likes Christmas. She may throw a dinner for her friends and make a desperate attempt to get something on the order of Christmas crackers, complete with stupid paper hats and dumb jokes. If you're a friend of hers, she will try and get you some small gift.

Henry might conspire with someone (Dorian? Bryn? Both? Other?) to throw some kind of a Victorian-style party, less for any fondness for the holiday than for a desire for something festive in general.

[cmdreffingshepard]

Arthur needs to get something for Henry. Maybe a monogrammed pocket square or something? IDK Arthur's not up on his Victoriana and his idea of a good gift is "tasteful and extremely expensive" rofl

[parallels]

Clara will go to Jim's party and be a super adorable wallflower. Then she will sulk about missing her father back home aka hole up and read by herself for a day or two.

[looksfine]

AYA - is learning how to knit Ugly Christmas Sweaters. I plan on doing a post about this when I come off hiatus. She is also apparently wandering around STARK industries wearing either an elf hat of a sparkly Green Santa hat, but saying nothing about it and acting as if this is a perfectly normal occurrence because somebody probably told her it's supposed to be.

MIDII - has made up with her boyfriend and will be quietly going back to her studies. She's not much of a party person, but she WILL have a few presents for the people closest to her. Which will all be given privately, if she can help it.

ZATANA - is up to Holiday shenanigans with Jack. And nobody was surprised. In the Spirit of Christmas (haha), she'll be going to any party she's invited to, possibly crashing ones she's not, and accumulating the biggest Shopping list of all three girls. Despite...currently being pissed at, like, three different people. Because of reasons. Oops?

[demon_brat]

Addition. Damian and Midii are both invited to Jim and Kyle's party. JUST SAYING. (And Zatanna, but that one's less of an unclear thing.)

Damian's getting Midii a very pretty box to keep her necklace safe and the collection of books he has in French on his phone, to her console (sorry, non-fiction, but in case the subjects interest her) and a couple of simpler ones he manages to find in English. (Find around Keeliai, I mean.) Annnd. Possibly something hand-made, a figurine or something.

OH AND Cassie is getting Aya stuff. Music, probably, from HER phone.

[definingfuture]

Tony Stark (Comics)

Is also going to be throwing a party because why not? And there needs to be mistletoe and antics to make it a real holiday. I'll put up an open log today. It's for anyone, really. Friends of friends of friends of whomever. And their enemies.

And for his closer CR, there will be gift giving. I need to work out what everyone gets still. Suggestions?

Gentarou Kisaragi

Is going to be flailing around because he really doesn't have plans. He'll probably be out running errands for other people and kedan or generally trying to help out. And toward January he's going to make a bunch of little charms and give them to everyone he can. So if anyone wants a good luck charm (and if they don't) he will be working on that.

[demon_brat]

UNCLE TONY is getting an ugly Christmas sweater. As well as, um. Something something. I'll come up with more! Promise!

Thor (616)

[ofmyth]

Thor will be going to Stark's Christmas shindig and there may be gifts for his immediate family/friends.

There will also be lots of roasted meat, and maybe a yule log if he can find the right wood because yusss yule.

[littlecousin]

Nita has a problem in that 1. she knows Thor, ergo he is getting a gift, but 2. she doesn't know him well enough to buy for him.

...Long story short he's getting alcohol. Nita knows a lot about alcohol.

Julio Richter

[fuckcable]

How to make eggnog like Rictor this holiday:

1. Pour several tablespoons of eggnog into the bottom of a glass.
2. Swirl it around in there to coat the side.
3. Dump out the excess.
4. Fill glass with cheap rum.

Enjoy.

[demon_brat]

Ric, Cassie is getting you an ugly Christmas sweater. Bucky is sort of getting you your coat back?

[bludhavenknight]

Dick Grayson (Comics) will be going to all the parties, and you better believe he has gifts for everyone he knows. And if anyone wants to stop by the Brazen Turtle during this holiday time, he's making plenty of holiday themed drinks. Oh, and he's finding some kind of small tree thing/bush/whatever, and setting it up, and decorating it. Apologies in advance to Damian and Bean, since he's moving in with them. Family better expect to spend some time with him (though he won't force them to be all together).

Billy Kaplan will be spending time with family, because the Young Avengers are family. It's late, but hey, time is crazy here, so he'll be trying for at least some kind of Chanukah celebration. Candle lighting and epic dreidel competitions will be happening. And attending parties, most likely! Everyone he knows can expect some kind of present.

[demon_brat]

No, Damian's okay with the tree/bush thing. He is okay with Christmas. He'll apologize that he can't make gingerbread BECAUSE NO GINGER ON THE TURTLE. But he'll approximate Alfred's cookies for the three of them. They'll be around the house. And the bat safehouses. And probably part of some of Damian's presents to people. Nobody will ever catch him baking them, though.

Dick is also getting. Something expensive and probably more than halfway engineered. Probably some suit improvement. Just for him.

... Billy is getting things. From Cassie. A sweater, for sure. And. IDK. Little pretty things.

[poeticverses]

So Jehan is giving gifts to the following people:

• Enjolras: a small glass French flag to keep in a pocket, a poem, and gloves
• Combeferre: a small glass French flag to keep in a pocket, a poem, and the name of an eyeglass maker and a case for his glasses
• Courfeyrac: a small glass French flag to keep in a pocket, a poem, and a hat
• Joly: a small glass French flag to keep in a pocket, a poem, and a long scarf
• Bossuet: a small glass French flag to be kept in Joly’s pocket, a poem, and a good luck charm
• Éponine: a poem and a certificate to be redeemed at Alcuin’s dress shop
• Temeraire: a poem and particularly pretty gem he found last landfall
• Pontmercy: a small glass French flag to keep in a pocket, a poem, and a small cross
• Dorian: a poem and a pretty glass statute he found
• Bryn: a poem and what he felt was a pretty dress with permission to have it altered as she needs to
• Alcuin: a poem and some wine
• Isabeau: a collection of Enjolras’s writings that he got from him


other than that, though, idk XD

[depicted]

THAT iS A GOOD GIFT. Dorian would bring Jehan flowers (probably which can be parsed to a Romantic poem or something, he's a loser) and I think some very nice books of song music for him to try.









And some nice clothes to wear. With explicit instructions to wear them only with other clothes Dorian has bought Jehan.

Sker

[alphatar]

Korra: She'll have most of her gifts delivered. There's so many people on her CR list that she got stuff for, but I don't even know what to get them. If your character wants something post here! (I cannot brain right now, so any help is good)

Thor: Spending time with fambly for sure. He might go to the SI party. Off the top of my head I know he got gifts for Tony, Bruce, and Natasha. I don't really know what else to do with the big guy.

Re: Sker

[disfavored]

korra gets another car and an awkward basket of fruit and flowers










no just kidding

[backinakidflash]

Bart will be handing out presents as he sees fit. He's actually pretty good with tools (... I know, you'd think there'd be OSHA laws against it), so a few people will actually get something handmade.

Others will get something hurriedly purchased because the handmade didn't work out so well due to distraction/impatience.

If he gives you butter tarts, they're safe to eat. DO NOT EAT THE FRUITCAKE UNLESS YOU'RE ATLANTEAN.

Bart's not really the Christmas sort. To date, his christmases have included:

His mom getting in a fight with Max and Helen (also, fighting the Green Cigarette).

Getting attacked by tinsel (see icon) in a fight with the Mirror Master while Max was trapped in an ornament.

That time he invited the Rogues fix it guy over for Christmas dinner and then Murmur took a children's choir hostage.

Captain Cold trying to do something and Bart & Wally building him into a snowman (Okay, that one was fun).

That one with Mxyzptlk and Plastic Man where Bart thought a Santa robot that was actually a bomb was the real deal and delivered presents with it.

That time with YJ where Santa died in a fiery collision.

These are off the top of my head, I'm missing a few of his Christmas appearances.

[demon_brat]

Damian is getting Bart food.

Not sure if anonymously or not, he hasn't decided.


Cassie is getting him, UHHH. Also food. With more deep frying than Damian's choices. (and an ugly sweater.)

Terry McGinnis

[modernized]

Is going to not be a bah humbug and go to Jim and Kyle's party since he's invited. After that it's time for late night patrol because brooding on holidays is just a tradition.

also santabat with bruce. that's happening.

[demon_brat]

Terry is getting cookies. And possibly other not-Keeliai food approximation.

[disfavored]

Tarrlok has no idea what this Christmas thing is but he likes fancy gatherings and stuff. He's not sure if he's getting anybody anything but that's a good thing because he tends to go awkwardly overboard with gifts. Here's a car!!

He will accept a World's Greatest Headmaster mug from all students and staff.

Hannibal is probably having Christmas dinner. Do not go.

[bindsthedead]

Sabriel is getting Tarrlok a little stationery set. Probably something with a fancy snowflake design.

Peter Quill

[explosivepenetrators]

He's probably going to spend his time drinking somewhere. He hasn't celebrated Christmas since he was 10, most likely. He certainly hasn't celebrated since he went up into space.

If anyone wants to either join him in drinking or drag him somewhere, they're welcome to.

[demon_brat]

Peter is getting a collection of the most fun booze on the turtle. With instructions where he can get each of those types, in case he likes some of them.

[demon_brat]

Damian will be going to Jim and Kyle's party. Other than that, he'll be mostly closed in, trying to solve the stupid ghosting case. >.>

Cassie will be dragging Billy and Teddy to Tony (616)'s party, and will have fun, dammit. All of them will. (nottalking)

Bucky is also going to Jim and Kyle's party, though he might... not be up for Christmas quite yet. He'll manage not to ruin people's moods, though?

[fuckcable]

Damian will be getting one of the skateboards that Bart is making. It will be black, with a few randomly sized and spaced green stripes. The tag will be signed, even though the board is dropped off without meeting him. Tag reads "You have to be able to ollie before you get the ramp."

Dorian Gray

[depicted]

Is not huge on Christmas, but he will actually go and give Christmas people to the people who matter to him. He figures he should! He will not otherwise be celebrating Christmas, because lonely immortals do not.

Re: Dorian Gray

[virginprice]

Dorian will probably get invited to Alcuin's Longest Night party, which is not Christmas...

Sabriel

[bindsthedead]

Sabriel will primarily be giving gifts to her students and CR, since even though her world probably doesn't have Christmas (though they likely do have some sort of solstice celebration), she likes the idea of it.

Her students will each get a dagger that Sabriel put some basic spells on. (Like staying sharp without maintenance for longer than they should and causing at least some damage to undead and ghosts, even if they don't have physical forms.) and a set of notes detailing a few minor and useful spells. (For example, one that will keep a character warm in cold weather and prevent frostbite, but is exhausting to maintain for more than a few hours.)

Also, she might attend a party or two. Or maybe just invite a few people over to share some mulled wine.

Juli Grigio

[grigio]

Is probably doing something with Raleigh. As for gifts? She has no idea what to get anyone.

Namorita

[littlecousin]

Nita fucking loves Christmas, you guys. (Which is hilarious, because Namor hates it, meaning you know he's had to grit his teeth and accept a present from her at least once.)

However, she didn't even know it existed until she was probably about 15, so she doesn't really get it, meaning for her it's about presents, parties, and questionable fashion decisions, which is more or less what the other 364 days of the year are about for her, too. So, given that she pretty much looks and dresses like a sexy elf to begin with, assume she added a Santa hat (she's not fully clear on the Santa/elf distinction) and will be 1. crashing parties (lmk if you want her to show up) and 2. handing out at least token gifts (candy/booze/jewelry type things) to anyone she knows even in passing. Close(r) CR will get better/less generic gifts.

Namorita

[demon_brat]

... oh, Nita. Bucky will come up with something for her. And Cassie will give her an ugly Christmas sweater, because reasons.

[virginprice]

Alcuin celebrates the Longest Night, celebrates the turning point of the year and which usually involves a masque (I think Favrielle held one last year but I am not good at organizing things like that so). Anyway, it's not really a gift-giving holiday, but Alcuin probably made gift baskets for his friends with things like cheese and sweets and wine or brandy.

[demon_brat]

... Bucky will find somebody who can draw who was at the Masque last year and will give Alcuin a drawing/painting of the Winter Queen and Sun Prince.
