It's the most splurgingest time of the year

WHO: Arion & YOU
WHERE: All over Recolle
WHEN: December 15-25
WHAT: Shopping shopping shopping (and open prompts)
WARNINGS: Capitalism

[A: Decisions, decisions]

[It's easy enough to get gifts for your friends when the great majority of them are growing athletes. But a secret santa for someone you kind of sort of met online with a very small inkling of things they like? Much more difficult, though Arion seems to be on a good track. Maybe. He's stopped in front of a bunch of novelty bags in different shapes. In his hands are one shaped like a camera, and another in the shape of a dog's head. He can't seem to make up his mind, and if he spots you close enough, consider yourself flagged down and at the mercy of some puppy dog eyes.]

Excuse me, can I get your thoughts on something real quick?

[B: tfw you can taste bitter vegetables again]

[On the night of the 16th, Arion had one awful surprise when he snuck a late night healthy snack. So on the 17th, he's gone grocery shopping by himself. He's filling up his basket with sweeter fruits and vegetables. He gets a little too enthusiastic over the idea of having something sweet again, and causes the pile of whatever he was grabbing to avalanche down to the floor and to your feet.]

Ah...!

[C: Winter season is time to go postal]

[Okay perhaps not everything is about spending money. But there are still goodies involved. Probably. Arion's out in front of the Retrospec mailbox, with a ticket in hand. Unfortunately it's about as difficult as it is mailing things out at the actual post office. There are packages out in front, and he can see other 20-digit codes on the tags. Is he... Is he supposed to look for his among the stacks?]

[D: Unpredictability]

[OOC: Wildcard prompt. Or something from the event post? Feel free to make one up or hit me up at [plurk.com profile] otenko!]

Hmm. Just like the office parties.

[Peter comments in sympathy. ]

Almost everyone likes dogs! But photography, it could show a more personalized touch.

Girly?

[The hunched over man straightens out like a spring. Peter has to be reminded to worry about something like that, because it's not something that ordinarily occurs to himself. Very few people would be brave enough to give Peter trouble over not being enough of a man.]

Oh, huh, when you think about it, cameras aren't especially girly. Neither are bags!

[But what's the dividing line between a bag and a purse?]

Hmrph, any person who would mock someone based on a gift has a lot to learn.

[It's politely worded, but Peter refers to those people with contempt. ]

If it comes to that, someone should teach them.
