Day 21 - video/action [Forward dated to the 25th]

[seasaltkeys]

[Given that Roxas has never actually experienced Christmas, he's not as excited as your average boy might be on the big morning. Still, he's kind of amazed by the amount of gifts that he has received from people. He hadn't really been expecting that. He also wonders where the strange egg came from, . So many pokemon eggs. He stares at the pile, wondering where to start, since you opened the presents, right? 

Tug, tug. Roxas turns his attention to Sparky, who is looking up at him, paws behind his back. Once he knows he has Roxas's attention, Sparky starts to talk. For pokemon watching at home, it's pretty much a speech about how he's been with Roxas since the beginning, and how much he's appreciated Roxas as his trainer, and that he's glad to be Roxas's pokemon. Whether or not Roxas understands is really not the point, since he's listening intently with an unreadable expression on his face. Then Sparky takes out his present, which is a small, blue stone, similar to the one that Roxas got from the Struggle Trophy back in Twilight Town. The Pikachu wants it to be a symbol of their friendship.

Rather unexpectedly, Sparky is swept up into a hug. It's still hard to read Roxas's expression, but still, it's a lot of emotion being displayed by a boy who isn't supposed to have any]

[Texted to all who gave him gifts later. Strikes deleted]

Uh..thanks, Everyone. I didn't think that... Really. Uh, Terra, Lea, Hope, and anyone else, I owe you something.

[ooc: tags to come weirdly, since holidays and I'll probably be running around for the next few days helping out and entertaining company. Backtagging is welcoming, even if you're tagging a few days from now. You can address the scene on screen, the gifts he's given, or just action. kingdomhearts.wikia.com/wiki/File:Struggle_Trophy_Crystal.png link to image of Sparky's gift.

[Nod, an then sort of mumbling]

I hope you liked the present.

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

I do! It's absolutely adorable! I'm going to sleep with it every night.

I hope you liked mine too.

[Reminder, it was a scarf, hand-made, with his name on it]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Good.

Yeah, it was really nice. Thank you.

[Knock knock, Roxas! It's a present delivery! Just don't ask how he found where you were staying.]

[Roxas gets up and has to wade through the wrapping paper that's starting to cover the floor. Axel and Sparky like playing with it. Opening the door now..]

Mr. Cecil?

[paladinlost]

Hello, Roxas! Merry Christmas! I have a present for you!

[There is an unwrapped Thunderstone in his hands. What, no one told him he had to wrap them.]

[action]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Oh..uh...thank you. Um, I have something for you as well.

[By his bag, the wrapping isn't very good]

You can come in, if you want.

[action]

[paladinlost]

You're welcome. I hope it will be useful to you.

Thank you. [He cautiously enters the room.] Is your team doing well?

[action]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

I'm sure it will.

Yeah, they're doing well. We'll probably go to the festival later.

[He's got the gift now, and is holding out the present]

[action]

[paladinlost]

Are you participating in any particular activity, or will you simply be looking around?

[He takes it carefully.] Thank you very much. May I unwrap it now?

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

That's so sweet of Sparky.

[video]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I wasn't...really expecting it...[Glances at his pikachu, who leans against his trainer] But I guess we've been together for a while.

Thank you, for the skateboard.

[video]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

I should have gotten him a little something, too. Sorry, Sparky.

Hee, I figured after the bicycle incident, you're better off with what you're good at.

[video]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

[Sparky seems to wave him off. Just pet him and love him the next time you see him, Namine. Instant forgiveness. Roxas smiles a bit.]

That's what I thought to. Once the snow melts, I'll be able to have more use of it.

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

[She already loves you, Sparky.]

Thanks for the plush toy.

[video]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

[nod]

I'm glad you like it. Sparky...picked it out.

[video]

[cagedstar.livejournal.com]

Sparky's a really smart pokemon, huh?

[video]

[shenanigaans.livejournal.com]

Hey, it's no problem, Roxas! [Just grins.] Glad you got it, Dilan was kind of cranky when he made it back here. Cold air must have gotten to him since he's just perched near the fire.

[Hey, he isn't going to comment about Sparky, it seems like a Pokemon/Trainer moment. It was a nice gesture, even if he didn't get anything past 'his pokemon is giving him a gift'.]

[video]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

[You'll still be getting some kind of repayment]

It must have been hard, travelling in the weather.

[video]

[shenanigaans.livejournal.com]

[Too bad XP]

Yeah.. well, if anything, he's getting pampered by Isa right now. [Looks over where his Flareon is keeping the fire nice and stoked for her winged buddy, along with her two babies and Sheep, and a couple of eggs. Surprise gifts?] And he kind of deserves to put some work out since he went and had an egg on me with Namine's pokemon.

[video]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

I still don't get the pokemon egg thing.

...Did an egg show up for you to? Like, one you've never seen before?

[video]

[shenanigaans.livejournal.com]

Me either. All I know is girl pokemon and guy pokemon sometimes make an egg somehow.

Yeah, it doesn't register on my PokeDex either! The Togepi egg I got from Namine did, at least to tell me it was a Togepi. Nothing else came up, so I guess I just gotta wait for it to hatch.

[video]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

[pause, he's going to try that]

Mine doesn't register either. I wonder if it's from a different region or something like that?

[video]

[shenanigaans.livejournal.com]

Different region? You think there's more than just what the map we have says?
