so i dunno if cadelle has a holiday season but fall makes me antsy for winter and im already listening to christmas music so fuck the police. which brings me to...

i want to do a WHITE ELEPHANT! but the secret santa version, minus the christmas exclusivity.

[ she just likes the name white elephant more if we're being perfect honest here. ]

for the uninitiated: you sign up and receive a random name picked by moi and buy that name a gift and then deposit said gift on their doorstep in a non-stalkery way. someone gets your name and you get a gift too and its all random and delightful and you can make new friends if you try hard and believe in yourself.

so who is in?


( ooc: psst, you can sign up here, now! )

i'm in
but why not a party to go along with this gift-giving shindig?
a little booze and good music never hurt anybody

[withasouvenir]

if i can find a place big enough im in

[ her apartment is not queen mansion ]

[recoined]

aren't there, idk, a million bars or something???
one of them has to have a private room or a big patio or some place to have a bunch of people show up

[Really Rip just means to bypass this posting entirely; he's not interested in getting gifts from a stranger, and even less so in giving them to one.

He just--accidentally hits the wrong area on the phone because he's not paying any attention to it. And really, who puts the like and the mute buttons so close to each other anyway?]

i've never done a secret santa thing before
is there a price limit?

[withasouvenir]

proooooooooooooobably should have one

$25 you heard it here first

[killertrack]

that doesn't seem like too much, i can work with that

i feel like it's a bad idea to ask you if you recommend signing up, because you're going to say yes, but you're biased

[ This is adorable. Felicity was already ready to sign up, and then she read all the responses, and now there's just a loopy smile on her face. ]

First, you and your friends are adorable.

Second, SIGN ME UP.

[withasouvenir]

WE ARE PRETTY CUTE

i will add you to my list which i should probably make

[smoak]

Let me know if I can help. I'm pretty good at making lists.

In exchange, once you give me a name, I'd love some help figuring out a gift. I don't know a ton of people here, so I might need a little extra intel.

[First of all ... ] what's christmas?

[Secondly ... ] You just give a gift to someone you don't know ... just to do it?

[withasouvenir]

CHRISTMAS IS a winter holiday which has religious relevance i dont care about where you give people gifts

its literally called the season of giving and it makes people happy

[made_of_stars]

Well, if it makes people happy ... [Really, the only times that Jyn remembers receiving gifts are name days. Maybe this Christmas is sort of like that.] ... it can't be that bad.

What sorts of gifts do you give?
