[Everyone will no doubt notice a new addition to the Plane: a giant Christmas tree. Yes, it’s decorated. Lights, ornaments, candy canes, the works. EVEN TINSEL. Tinsel rocks. Lots of tinsel, really.

There are also quite a few presents stacked under the tree. Each is addressed to a person on the Plane with hilariously appropriate - or possibly inappropriate - wrapping paper.

There is a sign near the tree which reads, “Thank you very much for helping us. Please accept a gift, completely and utterly free. It is our payment. We feel you’ve earned it! Did you know some trees stay green in the winter? But they‘re so prickly.”

At the bottom of the sign a small scribbled note reads, “We tried to bake cookies but even we wouldn’t eat those.”]

I'm still tempted to check, though.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

I'm not.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

You're not the least bit curious?

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

I don't know if I'm curious enough to risk it.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

...I could open yours.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

You can open your own present. If it doesn't kill you then I'll consider opening mine.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

So I can open mine, then.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

I never said you couldn't.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Just making sure.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

I'm not going to stop you, Jack. Just try and keep a safe distance.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

The worst it can do is kill me, which I doubt.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

You think they might actually be doing something nice for us, for once?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

They have no reason to lie about it, do they? If it was another experiment, we wouldn't have a choice.

[damnfinecoffee.livejournal.com]

We still can't be sure of that. They might be experimenting to see if we trust them enough to open the presents, or something.
