>> The very next day you gave it away

[witchmaker.livejournal.com]

[ Angela is surrounded by boxes. Boxes and boxes, a few with colorful tissues and fabrics popping out of their tops, others sealed with wax and stamped. She has several sheets of decorative paper, ribbons, bows, flowers, and all sorts of knick-knacks scattered about. Angela has several candles burning about her, and now and then she picks one up and uses the hot wax to seal the edges of the paper or fix a bow to a box.

Currently she has a very plush looking cloak in her hands, made of brown suede with green fur lining. She's folding it and stuffing it into a velvet bag, humming a little tune to herself. Mochi is nearby, half-dozing, half-munching on a particularly large spiny carrot with a big blue bow tied to its top. ]

And what are you up to?

[ She takes the bag that the cloak has been folded into and places it in one of the boxes she has prepared with shiny gold tissue paper. ] I'm getting ready for Mana Holy Week. Starting to, anyway-- this is the first day's worth of gifts.

[lamb_of_gold]

[Regards the pile] And are you giving one to every person in your kingdom?

[witchmaker.livejournal.com]

I wish I could! No, these are for my friends. I have about a hundred gifts to wrap in total, so I figured I'd do some of it here.

[Have a Bai poking at one of the open boxes]

[ There's a bunch of flower petals and tissue paper in that one, but nothing else! Yet, anyway. Angela goes about stuffing the bag with the cloak into a different box while Mochi takes notice of Bai, and hops his blobby little self over to sniff at her feet while she investigates. ]

[Glances down at Mochi and then pokes at the flower petals] Hm.

....the hell?

[ Angela manuevers the velvet bag into a box, then pulls the gold and shiny tissue around it. She then places the box's top on and slides it onto a large piece of decorative paper. She starts folding the paper over the box and smiles up at Firo. ]

Mana Holy Week is just around the corner, I figured I should start wrapping gifts.

[immortalmistake.livejournal.com]

Start? This is a start?

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

What extravagance! {She laughs} Your generosity seems fit for royalty.

[witchmaker.livejournal.com]

[ Big smile, Angela's excited. ] This is the first time I've had a big Mana Holy Week. I've never gotten gifts for more than three people before.

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

Ah, a festival? How jovial! What is this week in celebration of?

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

[Is still rather paint splattered] What's all this?

[witchmaker.livejournal.com]

[ Big smile as Angela sees about getting the bagged cloak into a box. ] Gifts for Mana Holy Week. It's almost here, so I thought I'd start on the wrapping.

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

Mana Holy Week? What's that? [Examining the boxes now]

[witchmaker.livejournal.com]

Hey there, squirt. How've you been?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[Smile that seems a little bit tired in a face that looks a little bit feverish.] Um. Okay. What are all these for?

[contract_star]

[Still a bit beat up.] What's all this?

[witchmaker.livejournal.com]

Gifts for Mana Holy Week. The first day, anyway. [ She looks up, tips her head. ] Have you had your confrontation yet, or are you still getting ready?

[contract_star]

Just the first day?

Ah, no...I decided to wait just a little, until I'm 100%.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Oh my, what is all this?

[witchmaker.livejournal.com]

Hello, Amaterasu. [ Angela grins as she goes about decorating the box she's stuffed the cloak in. ] It's almost Mana Holy Week in my world, so I thought I'd get a head start on my wrapping.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Ah, a holiday! How delightful! What sort of holiday is it?
