Christmas Time; Forward Dated to the 25th

[autocratic]

[ The feed snaps on with yours truly standing proudly in her custom-made Santa Claus outfit. Smiling widely, she gives a hearty wave. ]

Merry Chritmas to all! Io Saturnalia! It is a glorious time for my generosity to be shared among all you plebes! I have researched the reasons behind all this invigorating festivities and have learned that an entity called "Santa Claus" goes around the world to distribute presents. As an emperor, I commend this jolly old man for sneaking into the homes of others to give his gifts, but on the other hand, I cannot be outdone by him! Minerva herself would be pleased with my thorough observation.

[ She spreads her arms out in a grand gesture. ]

And so I have given choice people gifts of my own! I believe I deserve a word of thanks, of course, but I am more than happy to simply give out of the grand generosity of my own heart. Receive them all graciously. Add to that, I even had my retainer make a couple of pastries to sweeten the occasion.

[ Then she places a finger to her lips, thinks on her next choice of words, then shrugs. ]

What a wonder that such time has passed... Enough that, considering I was so focused upon my research, my own birthday has flown by! Were we in Rome, there would be parades and dances and parties praising my name, but I shall content myself with the masses of both Johto and Kanto. I have event set up a feast for both special events within the Breeding Center of Goldenrod that I extend an invitation to anyone who would be willing to join. I believe many would want to enjoy a good meal after that sorry attempt of sabotage with those cookies from days ago.

[ She sniffs imperiously, and gestures for the camera to show a large, well made and delicious cake... with thirty-one candles on it. Ahem. Then beams again, before waving. ]

May you all fare well this Christmas!

[ OOC: Saber's Christmas Gift list is here! ]

Was it worth it? What do the masses think of your holiday fashion?

[autocratic]

[ She only answers after eating a piece of the cake. ]

Mmm? Are you worried? [ She chuckles. ] I think it is a good representation of the holiday spirit.

[namelesshero]

At this rate, you could put on a modelling show if you had enough to flourish.

[to which Archer will refrain from making the observation that despite her status, she really was...well, at times, a true girl]

[autocratic]

[ Was it the boobs that gave her away? ]

Are you suggesting I create a line of fashion? That sounds like a thrilling idea, and with my talents, it would be exhilarating!

action;

[namelesshero]

[ah crap. this is gonna become a thing, isn't it?]

I was mostly joking, but if you've got the spare time...

action;

[autocratic]

What else is there to do once I have conquered all of the badges? Though I will have a period for relaxation, the artist within me demands that I be at work to exercise my craft!

[action]

[combat_butler]

*Just gonna... assume the Center has some communal tree in the house for everyone to put gifts under!! :|a*

I'm fairly certain that thanks don't always need to given out with each gift when there is gift exchanging, Saber-san. All the same, I'm flattered that you decided give me something.

*Of Note: Not looking at her directly due to that outfit for multiple reasons.*

[action]

[autocratic]

[ Yeah, hanging around that, too, with a slice of cake. ]

Did you think I would not? You have entertained me on quite a few occasions.

[action]

[combat_butler]

Ahaha... Well, if nothing else, I have been known to be quite the good entertainer. On many a front.

[action]

[autocratic]

Oh? What other talents might you have? I would like to see!

[action]

[combat_butler]

... I don't in any way mean to sound full of myself, but my skill list is pretty long! I mean... It's a butler's duty to measure up to any need his master wants fulfilled, so if you name something any type of servant can do, I can likely handle it.

[ex_cashcow493]

[ If there's food to be found in the Breeding Centre, there is a Saber to be found circling near it. Staring down at it, she'll count the candles out loud. ]

Twenty-nine, thirty, thirty-one...

[ Huh? Who's birthday is it? Guess who didn't answer her PokeGear? ]

action;

[autocratic]

[ Aside from the cake, there's an assortment of other foods around it. Saber just had Archer make a damn feast for the occasion. ]

Mmm? Greetings and Merry Christmas, King of Knights! Would you like a slice of my cake?

action;

[ex_cashcow493]

[ She knew her nose and heart were on the same wavelength. Nothing makes her happier than Emiya's style of cooking. ]

Huh? [ Lifting her head, she just now notices the outfit as she points to those short shorts. ] What is this that you are wearing?!

action;

[autocratic]

[ Glances down, arching a brow. ]

Is it not obvious? It is my own version of what this Santa Claus man would wear! Do you think it stylish?

[ She'll even twirl. ]

action;

[ex_cashcow493]

I... I was not aware that we were dressing up.

[ Oh well, she'll just need to wear something nice for her own post in return. ]

Ah, but he is notorious for sporting a large beard as well.





[ Kind of like Nero herself. Funny thing, legends and all. ]

[grapecape]

[Oh my goodness gracious what is all of this. Purple guy coming down the stairs, Pokemon egg in the crook of his arm, Xatu-in-a-Santa-hat behind him.]

I wondered what all of the commotion was about. Merry Christmas, Miss Saber.

[The Xatu coos out the same number of syllables, raising a wing.]

Is there going to be a celebration here today? [There are a lot of Food and Things about.]

[action]

[autocratic]

[ Saber turns to the man and his Xatu. She's not wholly familiar with the guy, but she's seen him in passing, yet he knows how to address her. Probably met with the King of Knights. Either way, she flashes a bright smile. ]

But of course! Have you not heard? Today is Christmas Day! Merry Christmas!

[action]

[grapecape]

[Just going on the demeanor, this must be the louder Saber that is usually red.

...He assumes that it's a surname, but occasionally he wonders...]

I think only a total hermit could have not heard, by now. [..right? right. but ahhhhhhhhh parties] How exciting...is there anything I can do to help or contribute? [parties are great]

[action]

[autocratic]

Mmm? Do whatever it is you feel will liven up the interior of the Breeding Center. I have done as much as I could, and no doubt others have contributed, but there would be no harm in more, hmm? [ Then she laughs. ]

Better still, it would simply be a joy to participate.

[enjoymyatelier]

Ah, yes-I should have remembered that it was your birthday, but I'm afraid even I don't have a completely encyclopedic memory for these sorts of things. Well, I'll definitely be sure to make an appearance.

I need to meet with you anyway-you received my card, I'm sure.

[He got the pay for it, but you know...]

[video]

[autocratic]

Indeed I have, magus! Merry Christmas and Io Saturnalia! I would happily accept a sculpture made from your own hands-- and a proper one this time! You have received my bill of payment, yes?

[video]

[enjoymyatelier]

Indeed I have. I'll admit, I wasn't expecting pay for it, but that doesn't really matter, does it? I can guarantee you'll be completely satisfied with the finished product

[video]

[autocratic]

How long shall it take for you to finish? Knowing your expertise with sketching, I can only hope that extends to your work over sculpture!

[video]

[enjoymyatelier]

Well, I'm certain it will take some time, given that even with my skill I'd rather take things slow-but I'm not an amateur by any means. I should also mention that while I can work with practically anything, my preferred medium is bronze-is that an issue?
