<Mac_MK> :: sits on the couch of whatever hideout that the MK’s be in, TV remote in hand as he flips channels :: I’m busy!
<SypherSK> ::as it’s his first Christmas (that’s been role-played), is currently a kitten, checking out the MBI Christmas tree::
<MollyMK> Busy doin’ what? Nuthin’ that’s what!
<MatrixSK> ::issa… tying the tinsel around… and avoiding the mistletoe:
<SypherSK> You wouldn’t have to put it back on if you hadn’t tugged it off… ::giggles, remembering Matrix’ flailing around when he got grabbed by Static, assuming he’s already been “mistletoe’d” once::
<Mac_MK> :: stops on a channel, noticing a Kat’s Eye News Special. Something about X-mas :: What is this cheesy mushy crud? :: then over his shoulder :: And no, I’m not talking about your cooking!
<MollyMK> ::goes in the room he’s at. slams her fist with her arm cannon/gun/thingy on his head:: I’m goin’ out! So you try an’ do somethin’ for once and guard the hideout.
<MatrixSK> Shush, you. ::grins::
<Little_Byte> ::helping reset the tree. hanging the donut shaped ornaments:: XD
<SypherSK> ::scampers up his leg and hangs on his back:: Grouch.
<Mac_MK> :: gets bonked on the head :: Hey!
<Little_Byte> ((<everyone> Aren’t the donut jokes being done just a little bit much? <Klawzmun> NO! … DONUTS!!!! …Megs like them! It’s funny! <everyone> .. ^^; ))
<MatrixSK> ::cracks up:: Thank you. ::yes, is inna good mood… oddly::

Heh heh, that’s what I’ll do.> hops in the Metallikat Express ((ha ha ha!)) and takes off. Better that SHE has the car since he can’t drive::
<SypherSK> ::hops off Trix with a grin:: Are you gonna come over to open presents with our Dads? ::assuming the usual way of things between Sy and Trix is a bit interupted, in Sy’s mind, with Trix “uncling” LB too::
<MollyMK> ((<LB>::staaaaaaares at the lights. puts a green one in her mouth, eyes blink green off and on:: <Matrix> Gah! Lil’ Byte no! ))
<Little_Byte> ((::dieees::))

<KaeruSK> ::puts one sheet of cookies in the oven as she begins to cut out xmas shapes of the second batch and lays them out for cooking on a second sheet:: Well…the smell of cookies baking should bring a horde of ravenous agents sometime soon. Guess I’d better prepare myself.
