[Sawako is standing in front of a table, with a pile of papers, an empty basket and a cup of pens to her left. To her right are smaller slips of paper, more pens, and an empty bowl.]

[she clears her throat]

Excuse - excuse me. After everything that happened and everyone being stuck here, there was a lot of things we didn't know. In order to avoid too much confusion in the future, or if people leave and new people find themselves stuck here, I thought it would be a good idea to collect information we can look back on later. Of course - of course this isn't required, but it would be really helpful. So - so if you could fill out one of these surveys and put it in the basket when you're finished it would really help, it would help a lot!

If anyone has an idea of where we could keep this information, it would help out a lot, too. The library doesn't seem like such a good idea now. I can take care of organizing and managing it, but it would be very welcome if anyone had space here to offer.

[she looks to the bowl and items on her right]

Also, [she fidgets, looking down and blushing, before looking up, determined once again] in my universe it's approaching the winter holiday season and I thought, maybe, we could use this as a way to get to know each other. So if anyone would be interested in doing a Secret Santa you can put your name in the bowl here. When it looks like we have enough people we can draw names.

And - and if anyone has any other ideas, please let me know!

[she bows] Thank you.

[and then she waits in zen-like ~~creepy~~ patience.]

((ooc; Survey thing can be filled out here. Respond to this post with characters you'd like to have in the Secret Santa. Put in as many as you like!)

((ooc: Waaah, I just noticed the fail in my earlier tag! TAT Let just say Box really couldn't finish the sentence... sorry. ;; ))

It's not people disappear to be with some girls, it's not the greatest holidays around. [Huffs and jumps like a ninja- then backing away, holding up his hands. Huge, red exclamation marks trembling from fear too.] Wa-wa-wa-wa wait wait wait! Just- just uh, try to, fold an airplane out of it okay? A-and threw it here...!

[if you hadn't told me, I would've just assumed you meant to end it there <3]

It's - it's not always couples. Sometimes people who aren't couples can have celebrations, too. Or - or you can spend the day with your family. And you get to give presents to all the people who are really important to you.

[srs bsns and matter of fact] Of course. [she stares at the paper, but instead of an airplane she places it on the Plane floor and slides it across to him] You - you don't have to worry. Despite my appearance, I'm not any kind of otherworldly spirit. In fact [and she looks close to ashamed] I can't even communicate with spirits.

((ooc: <3 ))

It still will be the holiday for couples, no matter what anyone says! [Box huffs, trying to wave away the gloomy raincloud.] Presents or not.

[Watches at the paper arrives. Uh, okay now it totally collected all the Astral Dust, so Box hesitates to take it. Though slightly confused at her appearing ashamed at not being able to talk to the 'other side'.] Well, uh... that's good? No offense, but I think those things should stay where they supposed to...

But - but it will be the holidays for people that aren't couples, too.

Oh? Well - well, I wouldn't want to disappoint expectations, but if you say so! Thank you for being so understanding! [and she bows for good measure]

Somewhere else maybe but not where I come from. But the Christmas discounts are good... [A little heart appears then disappears in a minute.]

It's uh, no problem. [Blinks a bit confused as she is bowing.] You are strange. [Saying the kettle, duh.]
