Merry Christmas everyone!

[It's Christmas Eve, and Alice is as excitable as ever. Well, even more so today, because CHRISTMAS.

Also, apparently even she has a weakness for bad Christmas sweaters. Just soak that sight in.]

So while you're all preparing your presents, or going about your day as normal if you don't celebrate, I've got a little announcement for you all!

New Year's Eve, I'll be hosting an open house party at my shop in Sector 2. Now, even though I'm hosting it there this isn't an affiliated event, so SERO affiliates are more than welcome to attend! Dress code is semi-formal, so if you stop by, dress your best.

[Private to Magneto and Jesse Pinkman]

I'm hoping you'll be able to make it, too.

[Have a sad little smile to damper down all that holiday cheer.]

[hostage]

Yeah, I don't think that's such a good idea.

[manicpixiedreamgirl]

Please. Just for a few minutes, at least.

[Those apartments are awful and dirty, okay, no family of hers is gonna step foot in those things.]

Oh, don't worry about it. You just concentrate on getting settled.

I don't wanna ruin your party, Alice.

[manicpixiedreamgirl]

Ahiru-

[Girl. Stahp.]

This is your Christmas gift, nothing is too much. So just pick a day you want to shop, and we'll start around 10 AM.

[Her eyes flick over to the large pile of gifts under the tree for a moment and makes a face.

Okay, so she won't debate. Just this once.]

That may be true, but for the amount of times I've had to suffer from your silly overprotective streak, I think we come out even. Maybe tipped a little your way, but still.

[manicpixiedreamgirl]

If I thought you'd ruin it, I wouldn't have invited you.

[It's a particularly flagrant lie, but she hides it well.]

[hostage]

Maybe you don't think so, but it's what's gonna happen.

[ video | locked ]

[manicpixiedreamgirl]

Can I please decide if I want it ruined or not? And...if you think you being there would ruin it, then I want it ruined.

[hostage]

What about your husband?

[doctorfang]

[He chuckles.] If that is what you'd prefer, I wont argue.

[ video | locked ]

[manicpixiedreamgirl]

He knows we've talked.

[motioned]

[She can't deal with this!!]

I - are you sure? I mean, just, that could be really expensive if it's for that long!

[magnetic_magpie]

I'm glad.

[He smiles, his tone warming.]

I pay attention.

[ video | locked ]

[hostage]

Does he know you want me there?

[ video | locked ]

[manicpixiedreamgirl]

He will.

[And anyway, it's not like he could do much to you anymore.]

[hostage]

[Not the point. Plus, bullets work just fine on Jesse.]

Well don't you think you oughta ask him first?

action;

[empathetics]

Silly?

[His mouth curves downward but he shrugs nonetheless.]

Fair is fair, I'd reckon. [He sits up, rolling his shoulders with the motion.] Who exactly is invited to this thing?

[aka who are you gonna force him to interact with even though he'd still be happy as a clam with it just being the two of them...]

( video )

[manicpixiedreamgirl]

A wise decision!

[Always do as Alice commands. It's less painful that way.]

So, have you decided which hospital will have the honor of having you?

[manicpixiedreamgirl]

[She shrugs.]

Money isn't an object, so don't worry.

[ video | locked ]

[manicpixiedreamgirl]

[Jesse, the last time Jasper shot a gun, it was when infection killed you before the bullet did.]

I'll tell him.

[doctorfang]

I still haven't decided upon which hospital yet, but I have been thinking that I may also take up a position at one of the universities, simply to keep myself thoroughly occupied. [Because not having a wife around tanks more than you can imagine. And since there's no major need for the human-charade here... Why the hell not?]

action;

[manicpixiedreamgirl]

Silly.

[Said with a pointed look at his arm. It was months ago to her, but she's still never letting him live down getting bit for her during the newborn fight.

But anyway, on to the important things.]

Oh, any newcomers who want to come around are invited. Even SERO affiliates, which might get me in a little trouble, but I could care less.

Hopefully you'll get to meet all my friends and employees. Everyone's dying to meet you.

[ video | locked ]

[hostage]

Lemme know how that goes, I guess.

action;

[empathetics]

[His hand rubs at said arm and he ducks his head before peering up at her.]

Not everyone, I'm sure.
