>> 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?

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

[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.

[lamb_of_gold]

In total for the entire week, or only the first day?

[immortalmistake.livejournal.com]

....the hell?

[witchmaker.livejournal.com]

[ 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. ]

The entire week, thankfully. I don't think I could handle finding six hundred gifts, let alone wrapping them.

[ 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.

[lamb_of_gold]

Well you are a Princess. I doubt 600 gifts would be too far beyond you.

[witchmaker.livejournal.com]

Not when I'm picking them out personally. I'm sure I could make my servants do it, but that wouldn't be right, not when it's my friends I'm giving them to.

[humanwaterdemon.livejournal.com]

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

[lamb_of_gold]

Well you picked out a full hundred...

[Smiles] I tease. How have you been?

[wheat-wolf.livejournal.com]

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

[immortalmistake.livejournal.com]

Start? This is a start?

[witchmaker.livejournal.com]

These are the Luna Day gifts, then there are five other days, then the feast day... I have sixteen people I'm giving gifts to this year. [ Big grin ] Isn't it great? I've never been able to get this many before.

[immortalmistake.livejournal.com]

[Holy shit on a stick.]

[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.

[witchmaker.livejournal.com]

[ She giggles. ] Just don't go shaking boxes, I didn't bring your gifts here to wrap.

[witchmaker.livejournal.com]

And it wasn't easy, let me tell you! I can't get warm cloaks and mittens for my friends who live in the desert.

I've been all right. Glad that insanity from before is over.

[witchmaker.livejournal.com]

[ Angela finally looks up and smiles. ] Never seen a Mana Holy Week gift before?

[immortalmistake.livejournal.com]

[Blink] My gifts? [Crap. Does he have to get her something? D: ]

[witchmaker.livejournal.com]

Of course. Mana Holy Week is about celebrating the people we're thankful to have in our lives. That should include people from other worlds, I'd think.

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