That's nice for Julie to give me that (I wish it was a cat statue but it'll do I just put in my house in a safe place on top of the bookcase.)

Hello Jade. I'm glad you like the elephants. (Celadon is pretty, like jade.) And they had such cute faces. Also in most parts of Asia, elephants are considered good luck; and it is considered good luck to walk under an elephant's belly. I'm sure they will be happy on a bookcase, guarding all your important books. :)

Kidman's authentic, real time reactions to:

Euge, I've given you some good rum before, so I'm going to keep the tradition. This year, I'm throwing in an extra bit, and I'm putting it all in the form of a math equation.

You dawg, I heard you like shots so I put shots in your shots so you can get shot taking shots.

Right, good choice.

a gift for Kidman...something to wear for her feet (a pair of sneakers with a pair of socks and a pair of flip-flops)
Hey thanks, mate! <3 I don't always wear shoes, but when I do, I'll wear these.

For Kidman, I've been trying to devise the best way to deliver a chicken army unto you. *points out the window at a newly built chicken coop*
I tried to get them to sit on the roombas, but they wouldn't cooperate, so... *puts stuffed chickens on top of the roombas*
Alas... it appears everyone else got their gifts but not me....

/hears something outside

Eh?

Do I hear....chickens??

/is bombarded by stuffed chickens on her roombas.

Avast!

And yet, I know I hear chickens!

/finds coop

OMG EUGE! MY CHICKENSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

/glomps Euge

Now I must name and train them all.

The stockings contain chocolate, a free pass to the local cinema, and a fake bug of sorts that has a tag good for one prank against whomever they choose. There is also a card in each one of the stockings for a free ice cream as well. Upon seeing the unicorn plush invader dragged it to her secret room for safe keeping. She decided to make some cardboard armor for it just for fun. However they were wondering if everyone liked the mini stockings before sneaking off to the library to read a few books. As long as they were happy she was happy.

"Merry Christmas, guys. Merry Christmas, Chase," she said giving him a cheek kiss and gripping his arm warmly. She held up the bottle and wiggled it, brows raised and grinning sardonically. "Can you guess what I got you?" She handed him the bottle of 40 year-old scotch whiskey. "I swear, this is the only time of the year you guys'll have to deal with me being this sentimental, but I'm really glad I'm here to celebrate with you all."
Chase took the scotch gladly and admired the wrapping job. Ennai wasn't always — as she said herself, 'sentimental' — so something like this caught him by surprise.

Jokingly, he raised a brow, "Ennai... you're not suggesting I'm 40?"

"Chase, I would never," was her response.

He thanked her, vowing to keep this somewhere noticeable in the office. Having 40-year-old scotch to mark one's age was better than a full beard. Much easier to take care of, too.

(The above was roughly taken from live chat — thanks for that too, Ennai.)
(By the way, @Kidman, that was the king of reaction posts.)

While I know @Lee and I aren't much of the reading type of guys, I found this book to be rather insightful and helpful. I have also tucked within the book a one year gym membership. There is also a small box wrapped up with the book that contains a . Hope you enjoy it @Lee.

I managed it once totally by accident)... updating stuff I'm working on is not a fun process (if anyone checks my stories folder on my Google Drive) anymore... the laptop at my desk is old (Core 2 Duo, 2Ghz, 4 gigs RAM, Win7 Ultimate)... Chrome won't update, Drive won't work... I'm stuck using FreeFileSync to keep stuff up to datep things synced.

    [continuing] I'm sorry if any of my posts are/could be inflammatory or anything... some of them are stuff I've had in the pipeline for a while, and I messed with it enough to get it postable... that's why there are dates showing when I started working on stuff... I'm not, and never have been, trying to step on anyone's toes or say "this is how it should be"... I have no say here, not sure who does these days (like I posted... maybe this is a test to see if we devolve into chaos). Posts like Hierarchy were started long ago, and meant as a guideline and not because I'm the voice of Sauron.

    [continuing] I don't have the time to be here a whole lot, I don't have much beyond mom to help with my rent (and once I have a job, that'll take up more time, though I will keep working on stuff (both for here and not) as often as possible, and post when possible on here. I have a question that needs some clarification... being that we are supposed to get permission from the person if we use their character in an addition/story/post, how would that apply if the character is core to the universe (like Carmen... I can replace @Chase, maybe cobble someone into @Ivy's place... but, like @Carmen, being that she's a major character, as long as I don't have her acting or write a major part for her, would that circumvent the rule at all?

    [continuing] I'm just curious... the absence of the major's leaves a gap that I'm not sure what to do with anything... we (the Left Behind) could do a story together (or some stories separate), and that'd be cool, but without being able to use any major's, I'm not sure where to take anything. And, yeah... you can probably guess what my typing is like here (or anyplace else)... I type here or in Word, I type something (or notepad), and 15-20+ seconds later it shows up, so I have to stay on top of my grammar and spelling. I have to keep on top of all that, because I'm working on the big Carmen story at the same time, so I can't slip off my game.))

    @Jon Eckart Not exactly sure if I understand all your computer probs. I hope you get those resolved soon. Yes, I have many probs with my basic Google Chrome, too. I think it's fair to say we all have a love/hate relationship with technology. 😆 As far as your stories are concerned, you can use any cannon character you like, whether there is a person playing that role on here or not. Say the story is a fanfiction; and that the version of Chase, or Carmen (or whoever) from the computer games, gameshow (or whatever). We don't do Netflix Carmen, mostly because of the violence. And because it is fanfiction, you can also create other characters and situations to suit your story. Now, Chase, Carme, Ivy (or whoever) were here, of course, you would ask their permission; tell them your idea; and if they like it they might write it with you. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you for a friendship with someone on--and off-site, you might form a partnership with them, and write stories together (like Chase and Carmen; or Chase and Ivy; or Lucy and I) and then you will just put a statement saying that this story is a co-write with whoever. In fact, if you collaborate with this person a lot, people will just assume they have your permission; although you should always say it anyway, just as a common courtesy. In fact, ironically, the only people whose permission you must always ask to use their characters are "original" characters, who are creations of their individual writers (which most of us on here, are) specifically because we are not cannon. I hope that makes sense. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you want to write something, but don't have a lot of time, I would suggest posting a status; or replying to someone else's status. Or you could start a guessing game. Look under Forums/Guessing Games, and look at some things other people have done, to give you ideas. I hope that helps. 🙂
