"Right, we're about to head into the holidays on this planet, many of which revolve around the giving and receiving of gifts," Anakin said. "So today we're going to work on faking sincerity about receiving gifts we don't want."

He gestured to a pile of colorfully wrapped presents. "Open one and pretend to be thrilled! We'll judge you on your facial expressions."

Like you're about to get a gift!

Pick up a present!

[sith_happened]

Pick up a gift! They're all amazing! One is probably not a live gremlin!

[OOC: Ping in here and I'll reply with a link to a Very Special Gift. Because oh, Lord, do I have links.]

Talk to Anakin!

[sith_happened]

Ask him where on Earth (and other places...) he finds this crap.

Vi picked up a box at random, it wasn't like she was in the habit of getting gifts to begin with.

Oh, Libby had years of experience singing the praises of even the most unidentifiable homemade gifts from her little siblings under her belt, so she was confident in her ability to accept whatever it was in the gift she'd picked out with the utmost grace and kindness.

Well, clothing was good, right? Even if it had sleeves?

Re: Pick up a present!

[sith_happened]

Everyone could use a new calendar!

Re: Pick up a present!

[wildgalegirl]

Charlie was good at looking thrilled with things she didn't like. She chose a box at random and started to open it.

Re: Pick up a present!

[sith_happened]

But could she fake being thrilled with a nose flute?

Re: Pick up a present!

[giveittoyoursister]

By this point, Vi expected clothing from Anakin to be weird. This was almost wearable compared to some of the shirts. "It's certainly unique."

Re: Pick up a present!

[sith_happened]

"It's festive!"

Somewhere!

Re: Pick up a present!

[wildgalegirl]

A wacky musical instrument? Awesome!

"Hey, cool!" she said. "I wonder if I could play this at the same time as I play my guitar?"

Re: Pick up a present!

[sith_happened]

"Only one way to find out," Anakin said. "Not in my classroom."

Gray

Re: Pick up a present!

[napking]

Presents! After intense consideration, Gray ended up picking the box closest to him and started opening it.

Re: Pick up a present!

[sith_happened]

Everyone can use another umbrella, right?

Re: Pick up a present!

[napking]

Gray had to take a moment to figure out what the heck this thing was, but once he'd found a label, he exclaimed, "Oh, boy, a...rain...hat thing! This'll be way more practical than a normal umbrella when I fall asleep outside during a storm!" Because it would happen.

Re: Pick up a present!

[outofthequiver]

Oh, no.

Libby blinked a moment at the calendar in between her hands right now.

"Oh, wow," she said. "Just in time for the New Year, too! Hoe thoughtful!"

Actually? Now that she thought about it, she might actually have an idea for a gift for Zo now. Somehow, she felt Zo in particular would appreciate this entirely.

Alara Kitan

Re: Pick up a present!

[canlendanear]

Alara wasn’t overly familiar with unwrapping gifts since it wasn’t really a concept in Xelaya so she picked up a present cautiously, careful to not break it and began unwrapping it.

Re: Pick up a present!

[sith_happened]

She couldn't break a box of emergency mustaches!

Re: Pick up a present!

[wildgalegirl]

"Will do," Charlie said. "I'll try it - elsewhere - and let you know!"
