Clay? Are you there? I need to ask you something.

What's the date according to your ship?

uhh

nov 27

why

[...]

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

noooooooooooooo?

Augh, I was hoping my ship's systems had the date wrong.

If it's November 27th, that means we've missed Halloween and Thanksgiving!

oh

[...]

wait your'e right

noooooooooooooooooooooooooo :'(

Yeah, it's terrible. They're my favourite holidays too.

[Nevermind he's not the least bit American..........]

It was so hard to keep track of days on the Marsiva, I forgot until just now.

id offer to cook but i don't work with protein well, i dont have th eaugmetn for it

maybe we can have a thanksgiving when we find antoehr planet?

[There's a pause. It's sweet for Clay to suggest it, but...]

No, that's okay. By the time we get to another planet, it'll probably be closer to Christmas anyway. I mean, no one really did anything for Christmas either last year, but I should at least save my money for presents.

ah right

christmas

[That's a thing, right. It's hard to tell without the holiday being force-fed down his throat everywhere he goes. At least he's got a good idea of what to get for Allen.]

what're u thinkign of getting??

[Well, that sure is an interesting response]

I take it Christmas isn't a favourite of yours either?

And what am I thinking of getting you? I'm not telling you that!

not when its shoved in your face eveyrwhere the second thanksgivings over. and even before that! and no offense to you at all but dont even get me started on religious people who get all uppity about "taking the christ out of christmas" or wahtever, it's stupid

omg u jerk :P i meant everyone else anyway!

[Clay can't see it, but he snorts on his end]

I see. Well, don't worry. After eight years from Earth, I'm happily surprised when someone knows who Jesus is without me having to explain. Most of the time, it's not even worth talking about the religious aspects.

Ah, well, I'm not sure yet! It'll depend on what I can find. Though- definitely meat for Sokka. That one is easy.

don't worry i at least know who he is. hard to live in america without knowing that!

but yeah i mean - christmas 2015? a popular coffee company came out with red cups. just red. and that crwod threw a FIT. YOURE PART OF THE WAR ON CHRISTIANS and stuff. actually made them write "merry christas" on it and everything! i know a lot of them aren't actually like that but theyre the ones you hear most about

wellthen that's one out of the way! what do the others like? [He might also be picking at Allen's brain for ideas of his own for the rest of the crew shhhhh]

[There's a pause at that because seriously? Wow. Just...wow. Those people sure did not know what a war on christians looked like if they thought red cups were it.]

But God loves the colour red... [His arm was red, Lenalee's boots were red, at least three Exorcists were redheads- it was red all around Seriously though-] Those people sound like they have too much time on their hands. Sorry you had to deal with that.

Hm...well...I bet Beverly would like some jazz music - or Croissants would be good too. Toph is easy, just get some cool dirt or metal. Katara...maybe something to help relax her? She's always trying hard to mother everyone. Bran...something physical he could do with his arms maybe? Maybe juggling equipment. I don't know Hans very well yet...and Zuko...

...

You know, I'm not sure Zuko actually likes anything, actually.

theyre def trying to play the oppression olympics and too much time yeah

and uh

wow

how can you not like anything

[There's a pause as he shrugs- then realizes Clay can't see the shrug. So he'll pull open that list of smiley faces that Ino gave him and-]

└(・-・)┘

It's Zuko, that's how.

But don't worry. Christmas is hardly a favourite of mine, so I promise I won't feel any desire to...scream about the Christ in Christmas.

[omg that emote]

lol

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[ANOTHER FOR THE LIST]

yay ilu

so what about christmas do you not like

Oh that's a good one. And I love you too.

[Yep going to write that one down. As for that question...]

Well...it's my birthday.

[So that sucks]

[Gosh. Seeing and hearing "I love you" from Allen never fails to get him to feel a little giddy inside. He grins, though Allen can't see it.]

/////

[Maybe that'll suffice! But awwww.]

oh man tht sucks :(

do people give you presents and say its for both birthday and christmas or

[Frankly he just thinks its one of Clay's weird typos and shrugs it off. But hey nice try!]

Well, yeah, they do that. Or insist I go to Christmas celebrations or spend the day with everyone because it's Christmas...

[Which man, it's not that he's against spending days with everyone, but when you don't get a choice on your own birthday...]

...Though it's not really a real birthday, I suppose. I don't know my real one, so I just use the day I got adopted to keep track of my age.

[EMOTE FAIL. Whatever, better luck next time!]

ooooh, i see. and youll beeee 24?? should i get u something or do you not want that

24, yeah.

I'm fine with presents, but don't think you have to make a big deal of it. And no parties, okay?

no big deal and no parties, got it o7

youll be as old as me in about a mont hthen!

[Well that was easy. He feels relief there.]

Ha- yeah, guess so! You best enjoy your seniority while you can.
