PICARATS 010 [VIDEO/ACTION IN VIOLET CITY] - fast forward to Christmas

[Good morning, Johto! Guess what today is. It's Christmas morning! You know what that means-- you can open your presents and everything! The weather is great, the sun is shining, it's the perfect Christmas morning! It's just like in a movie, what everyone expects-- lights, decorations, presents, and so much more! It is the first Christmas in Johto and the Professor is loving it.

It's still pretty early right now-- seven o'clock to be exact, perhaps early to some, late to others. For the Professor, he has slept in a little today but not too much. He suspects that Luke or someone else wouldn't let him. If not Luke or his Pokegear going off, it'll be his Pokemon, all five of them. Who've known that even Pokemon can get excited on Christmas day?

The Pokegear records placed on some stacked books-- not the ones he received as Christmas gifts, mind you -- on a chair. The Professor is drinking a nice hot cut of Belle Classic tea from the tea set from Miles, sitting at his table in his hotel room of Violet City. He has arrived back here just yesterday afternoon to be reunited with his friends and assistants. After winning his Plain Badge, it has been pretty easy to travel from Goldenrod to Violet. Makes the whole travel less tedious.

Anyway, in the background on the bed behind him lays all the Christmas gifts he has received. Miss Tenjoin's heating pack and manual for computer use, Mr. France's box of hat care supplies, Mr. Justice's book of puzzles, Miss Riddleton's Pokemon rubix cube, Remi's book of puzzles and clothes, Mr. Wright's books and tea set, Luke's stack of mystery novels, Kaito's Pokemon-themed riddle book, Hal's box of chocolates, and Merlin's wrapped chocolate. To say the less, the Professor is very happy about all the gifts. With each wrapping he has ripped off, his smile has grown.

He clears his throat before speaking.]

I do hope that everyone is having a wonderful morning right now. As you may now, it is Christmas day. To be completely honest, I've never thought I will be spending Christmas here in Johto. I have not thought I will be staying here for that long for this actually.

[A small chuckle. When he has first arrived here in August, the last thing he has had on his mind has been spending the holidays in Johto.]

All the gifts I have received have arrived here safely to my room. I will like to greatly thank everyone for the wonderful gifts they have sent me. Each one has helped brighten my morning wonderfully, so thank you all. It seems as if I have gotten enough puzzles that will last me for about a month, haha.

[Seriously, he has like so many books he can read and puzzles to solve. However, considering how much he reads and solves puzzles in his spare time, he'll wizz right through them.]

I also do hope that everyone has gotten what they have wished for this Christmas. For those I have sent presents to, please enjoy them. I have tried my best to get something that will best suit everyone.

Along with those gifts should be a small bag of chocolates that are either milk, dark, or white. These are all made by Mr. France here in Johto. They are shaped to resemble hint coins, something that I've had back in London. Back at home, they have been used to gain hints in puzzles, but here, they are just treats to eat.

Walter has traveled all over Johto yesterday to deliver both gifts and bags of chocolates. Even if I do not know you as it is rather hard to meet everyone here in Johto, you should still have had received some hint coins. It is the least I can give and do with how much I have commissioned.

So, I wish everyone a good day and, of course--

[Suddenly, all of the Professor's Pokemon appears almost right on cue behind him; Claire the Ninetales, Walter the Noctowl, Grim the Dusclops, Klaus the Growlithe, and Alden the Abra smile as much as they can towards the camera. They all take a breath and in a loud voice, they say in general;]

MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE

(( OOC: tags will be very slow and might be done in two hours! Gonna be watching a movie with family and friends. This entry is fast-forward to tomorrow because I'm not sure how much free time I have on Christmas since I got PARTY TIME or something. Don't forget to request something here so I can write you a dabble or something! I'll get to the requests already there soon. Happy Holidays everyone! ))

[Aw, what a cute looking Snubbull. Here, Klaus the Growlithe is going to take over and barks right back as his own thank you! The Professor off to the side preparing more morning tea of himself.]

_{[Cooper comes across this feed while having a coffee at the cafe not too far from there, and though he looks tired, there's no mistaking the bright smile he's sporting.]}

Professor, I hadn't expected a gift at all. I'm very grateful. Thank you.

You are quite welcome, Cooper. It is good to see that it has arrived safely to you. I do hope that it will be useful to you in the near future.

[aka meaning GO CATCH SOME POKEMON]

I hope to move on to the next town after New Years. I have no doubt these items will be a big help on the way.

_{[OH HE WILL HAVE TO. In the meantime, however!]} Merry Christmas, Professor. I hope I'll be able to get you something back soon.

Haha, please, it is alright. It is already a gift and pleasure to speak to you.

[Seriously. Don't you be getting him a gift, bro.]

Ah, will you be heading down to Azalea City?

All the same, Professor, I'd like to.

_{[Dude, why not? He'll totally get something, no matter what he says. Unless he gives Coop a damn good reason.]}

Yes, for starters. I was hoping to get to Goldenrod not too soon after that, but I wouldn't be surprised to find myself stuck in Azalea for a while.

[Man first Luke gets gifts for Christmas and now he has his very own Shinx egg, which he's proudly holding up.]

Professor, look what I found this morning!

[The Professor turns sideways on his chair, placing down his cup of tea.]

Yes, it seems as if you have an egg of your own as well, Luke. Do you know where it has come from?

[Luke sets the Shinx egg next to the Nidoran egg before trying to keep them both warm.]

I'm not sure. It was right there next to me when I woke up!

That's rather peculiar. The same has happened to me this, but with this egg.

[He motions his hand towards the Piplup egg on the table, neatly wrapped in a warm scarf.]

But enough of that. Sit down, Luke. I'll serve you some tea to warm you right up.

I wonder what they'll hatch into...

[And he does sit down, fidgeting slightly.]

Oh, and I really liked the gifts Professor!

Merry Christmas, Professor.

[He really loves that notebook and pen you gave him and hskjdfhdskf he wants to grin like a madman but toning down the spazz.]

[If Miles spazzes right now, the Professor will gladly excuse him. It's Christmaaaaaas!]

Yes, Christmas at last. I must thank you personally for this lovely tea set. It is perfect.

[But Professor, a true gentleman will act gentlemanly at ALL times, no exceptions. ~~Happy holidays, Ichi.~~]

Ah-- I'm sorry I couldn't get you any better ones, but... I hope you like it..

[...What did he just say, Miles.]

[A;LSDKJFASF OH MY GOD I LAUGHED SO HARD AT THAT ~~Happy holidays to you too, Yun, and I wish you a good year~ <3~~]

Nonsense. Like I have said, it is perfect. My old one has been getting a bit weary, so you have given me a wonderful gift with great timing.

[DKJFS THIS GIRL IS THE MOST HILARIOUS THING EVER JSYK ~~A-aww thanks! I hope you have a wonderful year as well <3~~]

....Then I'm glad I got that for you, Professor.

[BROWSING THROUGH THE REST OF HER DA AS WE TAG. OH GOD A;LSDKFJASDF STILL LAUGHING SO HARD FROM THAT ~~Thanks bby~ <3 Don't forget to request something over at my dabble post. I want to write you something at the very least~ \o\~~]

Yes. I do hope that my gift to you only has the same effect, haha.

[YOU SHOULD READ SOME OF HER JOURNALS TOO they're not personal but YOU WILL DIE LAUGHING i mean totes not meaning to kill you Oh! A-all right. *A*]

They've been fantastic, sir!

[I TOTALLY WILL AFTER. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS WITH ME ~~Yesss~ I'll get to filling in your request sometime later tonight or tomorrow morning~ <3~~]

Glad to hear so, Miles. Ah, and I have forgotten to mention this, but you may drop the "sir". Just Professor or Hershel will do. I think we are on good enough terms without it.

[I'M GLAD YOU LIKE IT. ~~Thank yoooouuu *A* <3~~ ]

.....Eh. But... [NO PROFESSOR HE'S TRYING TO STAY POLITE AND ALL THAT DON'T MAKE HIM DO IT.]

[WELL, HE'S TRYING TO BE ON BUDDY TERMS WITH MILES.]

Haha, do not worry about it. "Sir" seems quite too formal with me.

[~~BUT THIS IS MILES YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO HIS BUDDY!DADS~~]

If... if you say so, Professor.

[Otacon...kind of looks like hell. He's sniffling, there's dark circles starting under his eyes, and he's more than a little flushed red by a nasty fever.]

[But he's smiling, which is good--though his voice is a little hoarse when he speaks.]

Th-thanks, Professor. I really loved the gifts you sent, I hope you got yours (http://philanthrotaku.livejournal.com/10533.html#cutid1) okay...Hakubi wasn't too thrilled about all the deliveries.

It is good to hear that you like the presents, and yes, I have received the box of chocolates. They look absolutely delicious.

[And the Professor totally notices those symptoms.]

Are you sick, Hal? You should get some extra rest.

That's great, I really hope you like them.

I got caught in that--[SNEEZE]--blizzard a few days ago. S'just a cold, I'll be fine.

[Puzzlette is positively beaming.]

Merry Christmas, Professor~!

Oh, thank you ever so very much for the gift~! It's all so very very lovely~!

Merry Christmas, Layton. ... And thanks for the present.

[ The camera shifts to a blue egg nestled in two scarves; one beige and one black. Having extra ones thanks to Rise and Layton helps it keeping it warm! ]

Your egg looks similar to mine.

( ooc: I accidentally deleted my christmas gift post, but Netherlands sent Layton a sudoku book (http://money.cnn.com/2005/09/19/news/newsmakers/sudoku/sudoku_book_instory.jpg) since those weren't invented until the 80s or so. He also sent some tea ingredients. c: He used his Pidgeot to deliver it. )
