Surge has posed:
A quiet affair is potentially the exact oposite of anything anyone has ever said about Noriko Ashida. Rarely is her name and quiet used in the same sentence regarding /anything/, but there she sits on her bed cross-legged come christmas morning, wearing a pair of black fleece pajama pants and a tank-top, with a little wrapped box laying on her legs. "Do they celebrate christmas in Genosha? Isn't Mags Jewish? Are you all Jewish because he's Jewish? Is it culturally insensitive for me to ask that?"

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
I mean there were all sorts of holiday bullshit downstairs with the rest of the students though.

White Elephants

Hot Chocolate

One group tried to do carols.

The makeshift winterbreak bowling alley in the Garage was fun but Hambone is just a con artist.

This though is really nice. Well until her girlfriend is mildly racist. Or is it religious insensitivity. Hard call.

"Nori..." she laughs though. "This isn't fuedal Europe.. we don't all follow the .. shit the king does... also this is Giftmas.. why does it have to go and be all religious anyhow..."

Negasonic is wearing red and black leggings, they look insulated and super comfy, and a big punk t-shirt, black of course.

She plops down onto the bed by you sprawling with a black wrapping papered box in her own arms. "Happy Giftmas Noriko."

Surge has posed:
"Dude, I'm Taoist." Nori says, hands up in the air, "I didn't start doing Giftmas until I got to America..." Not that there's no Christmas in Japan, there totally is, Asian Santa is a thing. Just that, like, Nori isn't a sheep! "I was just askiiinnnng okay... gawd... I mean, but like... isn't it though?" Squinting one eye, nose wrinkled, "Genosha fuedal I mean.. A little bit..." Fingers held like | | far apart.

The small wrapped (badly for the record) gift is held out as she accepts the one handed to her. "Happy giftmas, babe." Leaning over to kiss Ellie on the forehead, "I hope it's a pony." Holding up the black wrapped box she's been given, immediately digging into the paper.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
"There is fuedal and Henry the Eight Fuedal though.... Magneto isn't going to make everyone convert to his religion.... hell I'm not sure Jewish people try to convert anyone.. .that is an evangelical thing as far as I can tell.. and I'm an Athiest so .. Giftmas."

She accepts hte kiss and exchanges the presents now and then laughs and waits on hers watching Noriko dig into hers like that. "If it is a pony I have done some sort of crime and we should call the ASPCA... though part of me wishes I had gotten you a MLP doll..."

The box is opened to reveal an envelope in the box, sealed. It was a big box too wow.

Ellie looks innocent.

Surge has posed:
Ellie's gift from Nori does not start in a big box, it is tiny and it is light. Gift card to Longhorns light. But certainly she's better at being a girlfriend than giving someone a giftcard, right?

Nori glances up after tucking some shock blue hair behind her ears, and smirks at Ellie's observations of religious holiday practices. Then again as the gift gets smaller, and is not in fact a pony. "If you do, know that you've ruined Flutter Shy for me, which was my favorite until... you gave the name away to Shannon."

Maybe her player has a Fluttershy badge clip.

WHO KNOWS.

The envelop is opened with a finger sliding along the seam to peer inside.

When her own gift is opened it is! NOT a giftcard. It is Noriko's report card. All Cs.

Which isn't super impressive...

Except that it's Nori we're talking about.

It means she put effort in.

She did not do this for the sake of school, nor for herself... so the Cs, small as might be, were done so that she'd go where Ellie went. "I love you. I also got you something more practical, but I'll give you that later."

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
"Well.. I mean there is a chance that Shannon could be a bucking bronco.. or ur.. filly in the sack.. I mean is it totally ruined.. we have her cussing and shit and all... a sliver of hope remains for her to not be a hallmark movie..."

In the envolope that Ellie gave to Noriko in the big box, the brat, is a couple of concert tickets to one of Noriko's favorite bands. You know the one.

Ellie smirks and carefully opens up the small box and peers into it then pulls it out and awws. "Okay .... maybe you are the hallmark special..." she can't help but tease a bit still. "I'm very proud of you and I love you babe."

Pause.

"Also curious about this practical bit.. but this is great" holding the report card.

Surge has posed:
"Oh shut up." Nori rolls her eyes and flops over after seeing the Tickets to Insane Clown Posse... LMFAO nah, j/k. It's tickets to SpecialThanks. A Japanese punk band! Head pillowed against Ellie's knees, peering up at her after turning over on her back. "Well, maybe a little hallmarky..." Holding up her fingers | | far apart. squinting one eye to peer through at her girlfriend with a half grin. "The diet coke of hallmark."

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
"Man I hope it is that spicy cherry diet coke with cyan in it then... I'm not sure I could deal with just caffiene and artificial sweetners in my girlfriend..." which is ironic considering how much she drinks energy drinks really.

She leans carefully to not upset the leaning one and sets the report card safely on the bedside table before settling back in and raking her fingers through Nori's hair pet scritching. "Did I do all right?"

Surge has posed:
"Baby, you're the orange vanilla of cokes." Nori reaches up to run her figners over Ellie's shaved scalp, smirking ever so slightly at the comparison to artificial sweetener. "You did great.. I love it. And you'll love SpecialThanks. We'll just have to learn you some japanese first." Pulling Ellie down and lifting up to kiss her, all very classy, it's super classy in this room. All the time.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
"I'm not sure how I feel about orange vanilla..." amusement though as she kisses Noriko back and then laughs. "I mean.. I could just pretend it is like every techno and house song ever and just enjoy the music and the beat and flail around right.... I mean... learning Japanese before the concert date sounds like a Doug thing..."

"Or getting one of the telepaths to sideload Japanese into me..."

Surge has posed:
"See? Now you're thinking X demensional." Nori jokes as she settles back down, grinning with her bottom lip tucked between her teeth. Wiggling a little against the ankles in her back as if doing so will make them a pillow and not, ya know, ankles. "It's punk music, so basically they're singing about everything every other punk band sings about... anti-establishment despite the natural inclination of bands to slowly gravitate towards monitary gain as a metric for success."

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
"Ah my cynical and jaded girlfriend." she teases still petting a good deal there. Pampering really.

"X dimensional.. I like it... that can be code for cheating with mutant powers and making the muggles really sour and salty about how they suck..."

Surge has posed:
"God they suck." Nori agrees, lavishing in the pampering attention. Despite all her anti-establishmentness, she genuinely delights in being pampered. Especially pampering delivered from Ellie. Eyes closed, grin mostly around a wide mouth. "Making it hard to think though... feeling of droopy eyed love struck puppiness engaged..." She goes muscular dead-weight against Nega, arms flopping out to her side, head turned, legs flailing over the side of the bed.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
"Oh no... I have her totally at my mercy... whatever shall I do with a boneless puppy...." scritch behind the ear that is what, and up the nape of the neck next.

"At least the telepaths don't determine if we have been bad or good and take it on themselves to delivery coal or presents.."

Surge has posed:
Nori tilts her head out to present more neck for nippage!

"Mmmm no.. they just call us to the danger room with their brain and then melt our thoughts into goo so we comply with their demands without hesitation... I mean, they might would do that.. not that they have or would or should..." Nori opens her eyes, stares up at Ellie, "One of us... One of us."

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
Ellie will oblige with a nippin.

"Okay that sounds more like some sort of anime or porn done about mutants than anything else... pretty sure there is a whole line of kink down that road..." she leans back and tickles lightly. "Okay so we foraging for food or you giving me the other present?"

Surge has posed:
Nori laughs out loud at the observation and hoists a leg up off the edge of the bed to drop down in a one winged butterfly. Eyes again up on Ellie, "Well.. if you /want/ the other gift now, sure. I'll go get it.. but we could go grab some food first? Always best to handle these things when not on an empty stomach, I always say."

Negasonic Teenage Warhead has posed:
"Okay now I am really worried." she isn't but it does sound good right.

She laughs though and then tickles a bitmore and then slinks a bit to slide off the bed and land on her feet "Okay come on trouble.. food time." she mutters "I have the munchies too and that is someones fault.."

Surge has posed:
Nori slides off the bed, ie, she rolls off the side and pushes herself up off the floor. Once she's located her gauntlets and put her fists into them to lock them in place, she looks ready to go. Pajama pants or not, she aint scurt. "Hey, I didn't make you eat gummies all night with me..." She didn't make it easy to refuse though! "Besides, it's Giftmas! Let's go eat ass tons of cookies!"
