[This text comes very suddenly and without warning or preface.]

Dinner at my house on the 24th. Christmas presents are going to be exchanged whether you like it or know about it or not. Also someone, i'm not naming any names or anything, but SOMEONE should totally try and bag us a turkey.

Be there or be square. -Stiles.

...Presents?

[Arya still doesn't know the pack too-too well, but she can't help but jump at the idea of gifts. It's a kid thing - and it is her first Christmas, after all.]

I could help catch the turkey. I'm very quick.

[hypercompetent]

presents! :) christmas is kind of the coolest holiday of the year. i usually celebrate it with scott and my dad and his mom but since they're not here we're kind of trying to make do with just the two of us, and all of you guys. basically we'll all get a gift for you, and you get one for us, especially since you can wish for everything around here. free presents! for not doing anything!

Awesome. Totally not who I was referring to but youre already ten times more helpful than said person anyway. just be careful.

[nymeriarya]

Is it a one-parent holiday? I'd like to spend it with my father if I was home, then.

[Arya's going to assume that you pick your favorite parent to celebrate it with, and...well, when she spends time with her mother, it's fine, but she tends to get into trouble a lot easier.]

I'll have to think of the best gifts for all of you, then. They'll all be really good, I promise.

Who were you asking for, then?

[triskeles]

What.

[hypercompetent]

get your Call of the Wildman on and wrassle up some grub

[hypercompetent]

[...oh, ow. That makes his heart twinge a little bit--there's a few seconds of memories (his mom making Christmas dinner and singing loud carols and draping him and his dad both in tinsel) before he finally texts back.]

no, it's...a family holiday. my mom passed away two years ago, and scott's dad was never anything close to family.

the grumpy, ungrateful one you share a house with. :P i'm sure he'll enjoy the company. maybe.

[triskeles]

[ God he can't even be annoyed that Stiles assumes he can catch a turkey.

Because he can. ]

Just one?

[hypercompetent]

[IN YOUR FACE]

deeeepeeends on how many you know how to cook?
:D

[triskeles]

[ Shove it. ]

...
Four, maybe five. But we don't need /that/ many.

[hypercompetent]

like two maybe??
awesome i am the king of the assumption game

[triskeles]

Fine.
Think you can handle one in the oven, Assumption King?

[hypercompetent]

yyyyyyes maybe probably
i can wish for a cookbook or something
my dad usually makes a bomb ass turkey at home and lets me do the rest of it

[triskeles]

What's "the rest of it" in the Stilinski house.

[hypercompetent]

it's a sixteen year old boy and his sheriff father who only gets one day a year to eat like a pig what the hell do you think

[triskeles]

Then I'm sure "the rest of it" is in good hands.
I can take care of the turkeys just fine.

[ Wait how did he cave so easily. Goddamnit. ]

1. What time
2. Are we setting puddings on fire

Text

[hypercompetent]

1. like six but you can show up earlier if you want to help me cook, i guess
2. i'm cooking, fuck yes we're setting things on fire

[gordianknots]

1. You do not want that. Last time I "cooked" I got gazpacho soup on the ceiling.
2. Nononono, I mean. Christmas pudding - not dissimilar to fruit cake. You dowse it with brandy and then set the thing on fire.

[hypercompetent]

it's in /awesome/ hands thank you you are in for the feast of your /life/

[because it's Stiles, Derek. And he's kind of gloating over his victory rn.]

[hypercompetent]

1. six it is :D
2. oooh yeah, we can do that. why the fuck not! my dad wouldn't let me it's time to be a /rebel/

[triskeles]

I'm vaguely afraid.

[ You better be prepared for kitchen times, then. ]

[gordianknots]

1. Very well. Mercury is coming too, if only to help carry things.
2. I'll wish one up appropriately and hope it tastes good. The brandy as well. (We should do this while relatively sober though.)

[hypercompetent]

also for the record you do the turkey means you get to gut it and defeather it and all that stuff too
put those werewolf instincts to good use

[hypercompetent]

oh boy oh boy
you should put it in a little bowtie it can be our christmas butler


awesome! see look at that, collaboration established, and nothing had to end up on the ceiling.

[triskeles]

If anything is being set on fire, there is a 100% sobriety requirement.
