I'm only escorting you to the jewelry store. You want to go to any other places, I'm going to have to charge you.

[buildsfriends]

Umm will I still have enough to get all the presents? [because like that makes sense, you have to pay tex to do almost anything]

[failureisntachoice]

How about I take whatever's left over. [ That is a long list of people and she doesn't think Caboose knows how to 'budget.' Gift prices are going to go all over the place. ]

[buildsfriends]

Oh, okay! Yeah, that sounds pretty fair. Thanks a lot, Tex!

Man, I am so excited! Techno Rave Church and 80s Rock Church are gonna love their rings SO MUCH!

[failureisntachoice]

Do I want to know why you're calling them that now?

[buildsfriends]

Oh yeah, uh, Small Church didn't like being called Small Church. Or not First Church. So I came up with some different names to make him happy.

[failureisntachoice]

And they like being called by crappy music genres? [ She's guessing no. ]

[another delivery, another misshapen package with lazy wrapping and loose string keeping it together. """"anonymously"""", of course. the contents are put together with a great deal more care than the presentation: it's about half a dozen rifles, arranged into some military parody of a french spiral bouquet. the ribbon holding them together is satiny black, and twisted to look like a bowtie instead of a classic bow.]

[ Did... Did he seriously get her guns like she was talking about? She stands at her door for several minutes after she gets the crappy wrapping off to inspect her prizes. She can't imagine Church spending this much on her and her conversation with Epsilon about how she still needed weaponry is fresh in her mind.

And he actually came through with it. Huh.

It'll be a while after the gifts are obtained that she sends him a message. It takes time to inspect and find places for them in her room, after all. ]

Trying to win me over with some new toys?

[buildsfriends]

Yep! That's pretty much Small Church's new favorite thing. [wrong incorrect that's the lesser of like eight evils]

[buildsfriends]

Oh hey Tex! Do you want a different name too? So if I'm talking about Mean Tex and then You Tex, you know which one I'm telling a story about?

[failureisntachoice]

Let's stick with calling me Tex and you can call the other one the mean one. I'll know who you mean.

[bestever]

[failureisntachoice]

You'd be the first. I see you went with the easy option and didn't bother with variety.

[ Because it wouldn't be her if she didn't find something to complain about. A few minutes after that text comes through another one follows. ]

Thanks.

[bestever]

[leave it to tex to complain about freebies. he's about to send back a sarcastic retort, but her second message gives him pause.]

text

[failureisntachoice]

As far as I know, most of us do Christmas except for the Churches. They do Hannukah. [ And she's not sure if it's because they're Jewish or because seven days worth of presents instead. ]

What about you? Which one do you celebrate?
