Merry Christmas, Chosen...

[terminalmegas]

Who: Venusmon, everyone
What: The giving of the D-Streams
Where: Terminal City, Roaming Park
When: December 25th, 2013, morning

At the stroke of midnight on December 25th, every Chosen and their partners fall asleep wherever they are, with nothing able to wake them. They won't stay there all night, however. Bright and early, as if turned on by a switch, the Chosen will awaken in their beds to find their Digivices missing. The individual Digimon -- those without rooms, brought in like the Chosen -- similarly fall into slumber or stasis, waking where the stand in the morning in the morning.

They will all wake up with a note in their rooms, written in beautiful script. "Come to Roaming Park," it says. There's some kind of noise outside. Something drawing everyone out. Noticeable first is the fall of snow, so far absent from Terminal Tokyo. It covers, among everything else, Roaming Park, where on a bench there sits a Venusmon, with a very large sack. Around her are tables full of all sorts of food, and Digimon there both partaking in it and setting up more. It's a whole feast, not spoiled by the weather, but enhanced by it.

[ooc: Below there will be a thread to interact with Venusmon, where she will answer some questions and give out the D-Streams. Every non-canon Digimon character will receive a D-Stream, whether they see her or not. At the end of the day, they will appear in the Chosen's hands. This can also be used to generally mingle with each other and enjoy the snow.]

"Yeah, and it's his first Christmas, too." Lopmon fidgets with the gifts in his paws. "He even got these presents for people." He shuffles through a couple of the tags, before realizing Choco's offering something to him. With a bit of awkward maneuvering of everything he's got in his arms, he manages to free one hand to take the cookies.

Strabimon's lanky build makes taking his bag easier, though he has to shift a couple things from one arm to the other still.

"Thanks, Choco!" Finally, Lopmon looks a bit happy. Then his eyes go wide for a second and he goes back to shuffling through all the tags - though slower, now, since he's got the extra bag putting him off balance. "I think Kovu got something for Fluttershy, even." A moment later he uses his ear to hold a small package up to Fluttershy. It's not wrapped very well, and has the look of someone trying to do it then giving up halfway through. The paper barely covers the item all the way, and there's so much tape in so many places it's hard to see how it's supposed to be opened.

Fluttershy smiled, taking the gift from Lopmon. "Tell him I said thank you..." Reaching into her bag, she pulled out a box with Kovu's name on it. "I have something for him too...although I could always give it to you to give him later? When you're not carrying as many things..."

[thescaronhisface]

"Just give it to Strabimon." Lopmon snickers as Strabimon rolls his eyes, puts the cookies in the crook of his arm along with the gifts, and then holds out his hand. He flexes his claws a couple times impatiently while barely even looking at Fluttershy herself.

[strengthinkindness]

With a nod, she hands the box to Strabimon. "Thank you...and please tell Kovu I said thank you for the gift too."

[thescaronhisface]

Strabimon practically snatches it away. Lopmon scowls at him for being such a grump, but looks back at Fluttershy.

"We will." He glances sidelong at Strabimon, who's folded his arms again. "'Least, I will anyway."

[strengthinkindness]

She smiled, nodding. "Thank you."

"Do you guys need any help?" Choco asked. Members of the Lopmon club had to help one another after all.

[thescaronhisface]

"Nah, they're all really light," Lopmon answers, hefting a few of them to show that. They all kinda bounce in his arms, along with the cookies. "There aren't a lot of 'em anyway, and none of them can break either."

Strabimon's the one fidgeting now. He's obviously getting impatient, and his fur bristles in agitation.

[strengthinkindness]

Fluttershy seemed to notice Strabimom's frustration, and lightly patted Choco on the head. "W-Well, I...suppose we should let you both finish delivering Kovu's gifts to others. Give him my regards, all right...?"

[thescaronhisface]

"Don't worry, I'll tell him," Lopmon answers with a nod and a genuine smile. This is probably the most pleasant anyone's ever seen him. "I hope you like what he got for you. He had a lot of trouble picking stuff, since he's never given anyone presents before."

Strabimon furrows his brow. "Since when were you so nice?" He doesn't turn his head to look down at Lopmon, creating an air of disdain. There isn't anything that could make him want to be here, when he should be at home with Kovu.

[strengthinkindness]

She smiles. "I'm sure I will. I hope Kovu feels better soon..."

Choco gives Strabimon a bit of a look, but as Fluttershy gently leads him away, he mentally shrugs it off and waves at Lopmon. "See ya later," he said.

"Merry Christmas, guys..."

[thescaronhisface]

"See ya, Choco!" Lopmon waves back. "And I'll make sure Kovu gets better, promise."

"Yeah...Merry Christmas." Strabimon couldn't have put heart into that kind of parting greeting even if he wanted to right now.
