8:00PM

"Hi Everybody!" Jubilee enters the Nexus in an exhilarated mood. "You know, one of the best parts of the holiday season, in my opinion, is all the food that one gets to enjoy. I swear I gain so much my munching on gingerbread and shortbread and candy canes and nuts and oranges and stuffing and..."

"Well you get the idea. So, my question today is food related. What would you say is a food-favorite that is only available during a certain time of year?"

"And what meal would be the perfect 'last meal', if you could choose?"

How do you live with a hypocrite? How do you tell if you have become one?

"I would like to apologize to anyone I mistreated at the Goblin King's ball. I assure you it was not intentional I just didn't seem to have any choice. I'm not sure what drove me to do it, but the point is, whether I could help it or not, I have to take responsibility for my actions. Have you ever been compelled to do something against your will? Did you regret it later?"

The architecture of the Nexus is in a perpetual state of flux, with objects and parts of structures appearing, moving, and vanishing in a constant tectonic ballet. Certain to spread a few ripples in that fluid landscape is the sudden appearance of a broad expanse of marble floor, inlaid with jade and malachite, surrounding a bonfire better described as a towering inferno. Along one edge, a colonnade shelters a goblin orchestra which is presently warming up--at least, let's hope that's what the cacophony of squeaks and squawks implies. And of course, front and center stands the goblin king, in all his splendor.

"The year's dark hours are fast upon us, children--at least, those of us who count. But is this a time for cowering in cold and darkness, waiting for its clutches? No! Now is the hour to hold night at arm's length, and someone warm a little closer. Come forth! Don a mask, eat, drink, dance, and make the year itself forget that it is cold. Even I shall be generous this night."

( Details, details. )

Over at a bench, Faye can be found carefully cleaning her sword, and making sure it's still sharp enough for her tastes. It stands to reason that she should learn how to maintain her own weapons and be self sufficient in these matters.

She pauses long enough to ask, "So... those of us who have a weapon of choice, how skilled are you in using it?"

Current mood: busy

12:40PM - Christmas kiosk!

There's a stand set up in the Nexus, here in the shadow of the sign. It's presided over by a blond woman with happy blue eyes and a ready smile and a tall young man with slightly wayward brown hair and a red jacket. The woman is a hologram, the man however is very real, though not quite as human as he appears at the moment.

The table in front of them and the shelves and glass front stasis units at their backs hold an assortment of Christmas or Hanukkah treats, including gingerbread houses that actually look good enough to eat, lox, whole smoked turkeys and dinochickens, ginger and cinnamon cookies, peppernut cookies, stained glass cookies, handmade candycanes of all flavors and colors, Christmas pudding, soda bread, dinochicken ham with crispy rind intact, all sorts of nuts, fruitcakes that look and smell like food, tourtière, different sorts of pies, shortbread, Pan de pascua, fish and fish dishes, rice pudding, kouglof, springerle, latkes, sufganiyot, and chocolate money.

Among other things.

The woman smiles as they finish setting up, then looks around and calls out, "Would anyone like to buy something for Christmas or Hanukkah? We've got nearly everything, some with an exotic twist. Good prices, and guaranteed LOL free. We even..." She nods to the young man. "Have a taste tester on hand to prove it."

3:35PM - ...

A small, weary-looking dog with a surgical bandage taped over its head wanders into the Nexus. It looks around, slightly disoriented at the sudden change of scenery.

"Oh. What's this, then?"

Seems that the Nexus continues to keep calling Jubilee to its question area, because here she is again. This time wearing a Santa hat and standing by a black pot filled with candy canes. (Don't worry, except for the side effect of getting a very red tongue - there is no LOLs on the candy canes).

She smiles, "During this time of year, I know a lot of people make gift requests and express their hopes for the future. I would be happy to learn any of yours, if you are willing to share. What are you hoping for during the holiday season?"

"And do you think you would be on Santa's naughty or nice list?" (if your answer is NSFW, please identify it as so)

Supergirl floats down from the sky, settling into a couch with her cape around her. She looks VERY content and comfortable.

"I've found my cousin and spent a few days with him. It's been awhile since I've been able to feel close to someone. It's got me thinking I'd like to move to be closer to him but I'm not really sure what kind of job to apply for or what I'd even be good at. What's YOUR dream job?"
