Twenty-Seven: In Which Klaus Gets In the Spirit

[myblimpisbigger]

[Klaus is expecting shit to get real by the actual day of Christmas. Things are already weird: there are new, intelligent imposter drones wandering around (one of which is in his house, which is creepy), the power went all wonky and he doesn't trust it to stay fixed, and given last year? He's pretty sure this is the tip of the iceberg in terms of what Mayfield plans to dish out.

What does this mean? He's giving out his gifts early! That's right. Baron Wulfenbach, Tyrant of Europa, seven-foot-tall mad scientist, actually bothered to get gifts for the people he's managed to grow close to in this crazy place. Weirdly enough, he has more friends here than he ever did back home.]

A; 729 Anderson Kitchen, Morning

[Dexter, your present is on the table next to the usual morning waffles. Why don't you go over and open it, since it's clearly marked for you?]

B; 729 Anderson Garage, Afternoon

[Agatha, Garviel, Doof, Diana, Dist, Eddie, and Disciple will be getting presents. For the purposes of not driving Inku insane, we'll just handwave a phonecall telling them that said presents are available in the 729 Anderson garage. Oh, and the ones that are erased? Free to show up. He'll have forgotten you almost entirely, but all the presents are marked with a name, so you won't leave empty-handed.]

.......That's one way to put it.

.....alright.

[Okay then.....




Opening it anyway. Slowly, carefully...with you in the same radius in case it's a bomb. she goes down you're coming too]

[Amazingly, it isn't a bomb. It isn't even a weapon.

It's a metal trilobite, which may be familiar to her, since it's her family crest and everything. Really, it's much like her locket, if a bit smaller. It's obviously meant to be a bracelet, something like this (http://img3.etsystatic.com/il_fullxfull.243564663.jpg) but with a much larger centerpiece and comparatively less chain. Atop the trilobite is a small button, begging to be pressed.

Wat do, Agatha?]

[deathraygoboom.livejournal.com]

[What do? Not even thinking about it. Presses the button.]

[Just like her locket, this trilobite opens. And what, may you ask, is inside?

AND NO IT IS NOT A BOMB.

It's a picture, actually. This one. (http://i.imgur.com/5S7su.png) Or rather, the important part of it, which is her father and her uncle, happy and together. That's the part he knew she'd want.]

[Just ...staring here...for a moment.....Give her a moment....]

.......

[Nope, another moment.


Then looking over.]

.....this is for me?

[myblimpisbigger.livejournal.com]

It has your name on it, so I would assume so.

[deathraygoboom.livejournal.com]

[Oh......


You're getting a hug.]

[myblimpisbigger.livejournal.com]

[Klaus looks down at her, more than a little surprised (and a bit uncomfortable, considering this is a drone thing hugging onto him). But she seems... nice. Unsettling, but more human than many drones he's met.

He awkwardly puts a hand on her back.]

[deathraygoboom.livejournal.com]

[Spur of the moment, ah well. She'll back up.]

....Thank you.

I'll thank you again when you actually remember me.
