Smoker's marines "traditionally" have a Christmas party actual day/night of. Anyone on Lady Justice on Christmas Eve wakes up to it completely decorated in all things Christmasy, there's presents all over the place (gradually less as the day wears on) food, drinks, hot cocoa, all things festive. This year they're also throwing a surprise birthday party for Allen (blame Miranda) and between that, Smoker, Tashigi, and possibly other marines are going to be too busy to notice a couple of pirates running around (unless you poke them. Then all bets off.) SO FEEL FREE TO JOIN IN AND CRASH OR SHOW UP OR ANYTHING YOU WANT!!

They're stationed at Retwin Island to keep things peaceful during the tourist season and there's all kinds of super Christmasy/holiday things along the way. And some dreidels left over from Hanukkah in case anyone feels like playing. So eat, drink, be merry, get in trouble, go all out! Just have fun!

Also I don't use GMAIL so go crazy on my inbox, so you can change the subject lines if you want -- just be mindful of who you're threading with and their preferences. <3! THANKS!

[Passing by the card table, Zenigata noticed the young magician sitting down by herself as she shuffled a deck of playing cards. Deciding to give her some company, he approached the table and smiled at her.] "Hello Miss Trucy. Are you waiting for someone?"

[Dressed nicely in a dark green suit, Zenigata was slipping presents under one of the Christmas trees, making sure they had the name tags facing outward so that no one could get mixed up.]

Lithuania turned to blink slowly at Taiwan before putting a hand to his cheek. "Ah, right. I-it is..." His blush only seemed to get brighter as he simply stared at her. This was familiar... "Taiwan? Did you ever-...Errr..Never mind. I-it was a stupid idea."

[He notices the mistletoe hanging from the ceiling from several feet away. He quietly sighed to himself, imagining himself standing under it for hours untouched.] "Whoever invented that tradition should get kicked in the pants..."

"Someone without a heart," Roxas says dully as if emphasizing the lack of emotions involved.

"Yeah, I guessed as much," Roxas replies with a nod. "But, I'm guessing you're not a Heartless either."

"A Homunculus?" Sure, there were many different worlds out there, but he'd never heard of that before. "...You're not from this world, are you?"

She was blushing too hard on her own to notice what Lithuania was really saying. "A-ah... s-should we go in then?" But she doesn't make a move to get out of the doorway.

Lithuania brushed a very old and starry memory out of the way as he studied Taiwan. Was she blushing because she was embarrassed or...? Hesitating slightly, Lithuania leaned in and kissed her lightly on the forehead. "Y-yeah, now we can..." But, his legs didn't feel like agreeing, keeping him in the same spot.

Rather oblivious still to any flirtations, Rinali always being in a sort of naive sense of mind, the Exorcist blinked when Cross called her brother pretty. Completely missing that he called her such...

She looked down at her shoulder where her brother protectively gripped and rubbed one of her blushing cheeks with a small smile. "Y-Yes. I wouldn't want to make Leo sad or angry." She said truthfully.

The Seal glanced over to him and nodded with her hands resting out infront of her, arms resting on the rail to support herself. "Mm. I miss home as well." She simply said while she looked out over the calm seas with the ripples of light from the soft moon.

"But it's always good to share times like these in good company." She said with a playful wink to the man.

The ronin found himself at loss for words when he caught her gaze and was taken off guard by her wink, left uncertain as to how to interpret her afterthought. Squaring his shoulders, he frowned contemplatively, his ears burning in a blush he resented; he decided that it had to be nothing more than an innocuous remark, far from a flirtatious advance. They were only acquaintances, after all.

Good company... He couldn't help but wonder, in his idle moments, how Lupin and Jigen were faring in his absence; despite their wildly different backgrounds, they composed his strange, surrogate family. They knew each other too well and had experienced and endured too much to become strangers while apart.

"Do you have family, back home?"

A shy and sweet giggle passed her lips when she saw, even in the soft moonlight, how his ears seemed to turn bright red.

She stopped however when he mentioned family. A bit of a painful mark... Still smiling, though with a hint of sadness lacing her ruby lips, she shook her head. "No...I have no family." She said quietly.

"Usually it's just me at home for Christmas."

"Allen," Smoker greeted with a short nod ready to punch the kid birthday or not if he started laughing again.

He kicked himself inwardly for impinging on her privacy, not having anticipated that his words would find a sore spot in her.

"I'm sorry." Goemon gravely replied, his stomach clenching in empathy."...I should not have assumed."

"Ah...where do you want to go...?" She blushed again and looked away. What else could she say?

"...This world is really strange. Compared to all the others I know of, there's none that bring in people from other worlds."

"I-...I don't know. Wherever you want to go, I guess." Somehow managing to shift out of the entrance way, Lithuania avoided any eye contact. Well...this was awkward.

"...Stranger? Even more strange besides the mix of people?"

Cross paused for a moment, considering. "Well, I guess if Lenalee's taken, I can just focus on you."

Even when half-drunk, it's surprising how fast he can move in an instant, right up next to the Supervisor again, that grin back in all it's glory.

"Right, Ko~mui?"

"Mr. Smoker, sir," Allen responded - sounding very cold at that because he was trying very hard not to laugh.

He probably had. Something about Cross made him do that.

"Yeah, yeah. Just so you know, I've put a lock on some of his memories, so don't try digging too deep. Have you seen any wine around here?"

Smoker gave him a sidelong glance, appreciating the lack of laughter. "Happy birthday."

Something malevolent glistened in Komui's eyes, and just as Cross swooped in, Komui pushed (gently of course) Rinali out of the way. He also managaed to move the drill right between them. Komui smiled kindly.

"Well, you and I do have some things to talk about ~ "

"Th-thank you, sir. And... Merry Christmas," Allen said, smiling.
