evie shakes her head and links her arm with his , patting him on the shoulder . she's not even sure why she agreed to this whole idea but now they're here and she's trying not to overthink too much . “ i think you're deeping this a bit too much . there's nothing to be suspicious about , we totally blend in here . we look like any other student . you don't wanna stay at least a few more minutes ? then we can hit the beach and make a day out of it . ”

"no. i don't like it here. let's leave." he shifts his backpack uncomfortably on his shoulder. he had grabbed the backpack—stuffed it with a notebook, drew's debut graphic novel drive-in, and a handful of highlighters—before he had left to really fit the part, get into the mindset of being a student, but now that he is here among all this knowledge, he suddenly feels extremely small. and broke. and stupid. "uhhh, let's just bail and go to the beach. or get some juice. or both! and not be here. it was a terrible idea. the students look hoity toity; the teachers look mean; there's too many bushes around here—that's suspicious—and i think the campus security guard has been eyeing you since we walked in. so we should either leave or egg the security guard and then leave."

daisy had spent some time setting up things for new tea recipes , complete with teabags , cut fruit , sugars , honey , and syrups . she smiles sweetly at the other in front of her and pats her hand gently . “ there's so many different flavors of tea and types of tea . . . it's just about pairing flavors that sound like they would be good together and then seeing how they work . are you more interested in floral flavors or fruity flavors ? black tea , green tea , white tea ? hot or iced ? sweet or unsweetened ? ”

"i look cute, i feel cute, and i am ready to rumble! your number one tea taster is checking in to duty!" she closes the compact mirror, returns it into her purse, and leans across the counter of the shop, staring at all of the different teabags, the sugar, mugs, and all the extra paraphernalia that may or may not be needed for a particularly good cup of tea. "so how do we mix teas? what makes a good mix? don't they all taste like flowers and sometimes dirt, anyways?"

matty hadn't even expected the reaction that he got from her . he had wanted to put on a bit of a show for her and barely expected too much of a reaction to it , maybe just a smile or a little clap or something . watching her excitement brought a bigger smile to his own features , hands resting on his fake stomach as he let out a laugh . this whole thing sort of made the holidays even more exciting for him too , always the type to hype up the season even more in hopes it'd be even a little as beautiful as he wanted it to be . “ i don't need any kind of repayment , it's my christmas duty to fill you with christmas cheer and happiness ! and it really worked ! that's repayment enough . but if you wanna go ghost hunting , you gotta ask me first cause i'll take you . ”
sariyah had been buzzing with anticipation ever since she'd arrived at the noche buena celebration. she picked up every candy-cane inspired dish, thanked everyone who complimented her glittery-green puffed dress, and pulled up the lyrics to every christmas song played by the band in order to sing along. in summary, sariyah was having the time of her life. made better only by the fact that her secret santa took the santa part with a literal touch. " i'm sariyah ! " she exclaimed with a laugh as she stepped forward. her own personal delivery from santa ! she never thought she'd see the day. had believed that part of her childhood would never be redeemed. yet, here he was. honestly the suit, the voice, and the personal delivery would have been enough for sariyah. she'd already felt like she'd gain something invaluable: a moment to go back in time and give her younger self the gift she always longed for; to be a child on christmas morning. he cheeks hurt from smiling, every box she unwrapped unveiling something new and eliciting a melody of ' this is so cute ! ' ' oh my god, you shouldn't have ! ' ' i can't wait to use this ! ' and ' how thoughtful ! ' when the presents came to an end, sariyah was left holding the ghost hunting book to her heart as she surveyed all of her gifts one last time. " are you kidding ? this is incredible ! how can i ever pay you back for all of this ? this is the best christmas ever ! "

she pulls the other aside during the team stretching. "look," she says. "i'm totally ready to make sure our team wins. i've got the confetti and sand hidden here to throw in their face; i've got these strapped to my calves under my socks to, like, kick them and trip them; and i've also got fake blood here in my bag in case we have to, like, pretend we got gouged and get the other team disqualified or something." they grin. "pretty nifty, yeah? here, take some of the confetti / sand mix i made and put it in your pocket in case you need it. hurry, before someone sees!"

daisy shakes her head as she thinks about how long she's been here at this point , having made this place a home . “ i moved here and i'm working here . felt like the right place to start a business . didn't know it was your childhood place , how long are you staying ? ”
"me neither!" he exclaims back with a big smile. "it was a last-minute thing. i didn't book the tickets until three days before," leon explains. with everything seemingly calming down in his life -no more tour, no more press- the man somehow was still anxious. maybe because his girlfriend was away for a while. and leon's not someone who's good at tolerating loneliness. so yeah, he booked a plane ticket and talked to his godmother on the phone asking her if he could stay in her apartment in valpo. of course she said yes. she loves her godson. so now he's here, in chile, waiting for the love of his life to meet him here. "what about you? what's brought you to my childhood place?" he asks half-jokingly. he didn't spend as nearly much time here as he spent in seattle or boston, or new york. but valparaíso feels like home to him.

evelyn hurries over to answer the door and gives a slight smile at the sight of the guest . she almost forgot that she was supposed to be getting a gift of her own , blanking a bit on the whole thing . the door is held open to allow saff inside as she works at unwrapping it , surprised when she saw what the gift was . “ the color is perfect , i'll absolutely get some use out of these . can't promise they'll stay this nice for long . ”
closed starter / evelyn, saffron's secret santa recipient! @foolishs
location / leia's apartment
although she isn't sure what sort of dancing it is that evelyn likes to do, saffron selected a pair of powder blue ballet shoes unearthed in the stockroom at her shop for the recipient of her secret santa gift exchange present. she stands outside of evelyn's apartment awaiting an answer to her knocking with the package wrapped neatly in shiny silver paper. "surprise," saff sings, grinning despite she unenthusiastic tone. she holds the present out for evelyn to take. "for what it's worth, if this turns out to have no practical use for you then i think it would be great as a decorative sort of coffee table conversation piece at the very least," she explains, shaking the box a bit as though she's hoping to increase leia's excitement.

“ hey — i was drinking that , you know . . . ” evelyn shouldn't even be surprised by these actions when it comes to a man , let alone arlo of all people . there was never any guessing what would come out of his mouth or what he would even do . she looks around to try to see what he could be looking at but catches nothing and sits wondering what exactly goes on in his mind . “ of course you get a bellyache . . . how about you buy my drink replacement cause i'm not trying to waste my money there . i've never touched gfuel . don't think i want to touch anything gamers are . ”
⸻ status / open , @santastarthq .

arlo was out of breath by the time he slid into the booth beside the other; his eyes shifted around as if making sure he hadn't been followed. his hands were burrowed deep in his hoodie's pocket as he finally made eye contact with the one beside him, and offered a panicked sort of sweet smile. " sorry i'm late. " he said a little loud, trying to make sure any lingering security guards ( there were none ) were listening in. " do you mind ? " arlo dropped his volume as he reached for a cup that was nearly empty, and not-so-slyly dumped the rest of its contents out on the floor. " we should let that dry before we go out to the dancefloor. " he instructed. with one last glance around for the security guards that weren't following him, he pulled an energy drink from his hoodie pocket and quickly worked to pour it in the now empty cup. " it's gfuel. " he explained, without being prompted. " the energy drink for gamers. i had to sneak it in because i can't do alcohol. i get a bellyache. " he held the empty can in his hand looking around for a moment before he turned to them again. " do you have a bag or something ? i'll give you my discount code for gfuel if you shove this in there. "

“ i wouldn't want to hurt your feelings at all , i'm sure they're great gifts ! ” she opens the gifts with some anticipation and excitement , letting out a giggle at the photo album . the only one that causes her to raise her brow is the cake . she's not entirely sure that's the right way to make a carrot cake but she smiles at the gift regardless . she doesn't even have a use for the diapers , but she's sure she can save them for a future baby if she winds up having one . “ i'll have to make you some cookies as a thank you with these cutters . ”

"boo!" they shout as they fall into the seat across from daisy, dropping the large box down between them. "bet you couldn't guess that it was moi that is your secret santa!" she pushes the box toward daisy. "i've spent a lot of time curating something absolutely perfect for you, so i hope you like it, or whatever. but if you don't, it'll hurt my feelings, so, you know. keep that in mind." nora beams excitedly, sitting on the edge of their seat with anticipation at how daisy would react to the gift: a photography book showcasing animal butts, a cookie cutter set ( featuring a cat, a hippo, underwear, and ninjas ), a home-made carrot cake ( it may not have looked the greatest, but at least it tasted good; she double checked ) and rabbit diapers for her baby. daisy has a baby right? it doesn't matter; it's too late now.

daisy points a finger at him in realization of who she sees in front of her , surprised smile growing with recognition . the sopaipillas is accepted and she uses a free hand to pat him on the shoulder . “ what are you doing here ? i didn't know you were coming ! ”
leon stands in line to get a sopaipilla from the cart that's near his godmother's apartment. something tells him to look around, and he's happy when he does, because he spots daisy immediately. "you're here?" he smiles widely. they shared a one night stand years ago, before he and salem started dating, but they kept in touch. mostly through instagram. the lady selling sopaipillas ask him how many he wants and he's quick to say dos. "one for you," leon smiles when daisy approaches him.

matty's not super used to receiving gifts , usually mostly getting gifts for other people and going way too hard on it . so he finds himself way more excited about this gift exchange and curious what anyone would pick for him . he grins excitedly as he looks at the wrapped gifts in front of him and clasps his hands together as if to say thank you , then goes to begin opening gifts . “ the wrapping is perfect , it gives it character ! tell your daughter i loved it . the gifts are perfect , man . i really needed the phone cases . . . you should see the state of my screen . i drop that thing so often . i can't promise i'll be using the ouiji board cause i don't trust the energy from those , i don't mess with those . it'll make a fun little decoration though . ”

adem prides himself on being a good gift giver. he likes giving gifts and always tries to find something he thinks the receiver will like while also trying to be practical. not knowing matty all that well, he's hopeful he'll get some use out of his gifts. because, honestly and truly, adem has no idea what ghost hunting equipment consists of, so he purchased a set of flashlights and a ouija board (that's spooky, right?) in hopes they'll be useful in some way. additionally, he got matty a phone case and multiple screen protectors. he couldn't afford a whole new phone, but he figures this is second best. so he approaches the other at the party, grinning, "happy holidays! sorry the wrapping's a little shoddy, my seven-year-old insisted she help me." not that adem's solo wrapping skills are all that impressive anyway, "i have receipts and all of that if any of it doesn't work — just let me know!"

"bro, bro, bro, i have a proposal for you!" rafael flags down the nearest person, gesturing him to come closer to the table in between them. there's an empty drink glass on one side and some partially eaten chips on the other side. rafael has a deck of cards in his hands, preset for a magic trick. "i show you a magic trick, something that'll completely blow your mind away. and in return, you buy me a drink. and some fries. oh, oh, maybe a couple of anticuchos, too... well? whaddya say?"

daisy carries carefully wrapped gifts ( featuring a few festive doodles from her daughter who eagerly wanted to contribute to the gifts that were being given ) over to the other , hopeful that sef would find them at least interesting . amongst the gifts are a hardcopy annotated version of frankenstein ( a story daisy has yet to read herself ) , a hard copy annotated version of pride and prejudice , a pair of tea pot earrings , a vintage gold bracelet , and a pair of earrings inspired by vintage ones worn by jane russell . “ MERRY CHRISTMAS ! oh , i really hope you like these . . . if not then i can offer free drinks at the tea house till next christmas . well , one free drink a day , not free drinks all day , every day . ”

matty makes a big show of his arrival , decked out in a santa outfit with a beard and sack and everything . there's a bit of a struggle as he walks with pillows stuffed in the stomach portion of his suit , but he was committing to the bit . “ HO HO HO , MERRY HOLIDAYS ! i come bearing gifts for a miss sariyah , please step forward . ” he locates the recipient of his secret santa gifts and approaches her with a wide smile ��, setting the sack on the table top so he can bring out wrapped gifts ( maybe he went a little overboard , but he gets really into the holidays ) . wrapping them to not look so easily figured out was tough , but his gifts consists of five boxes of bandaids with a range of designs on them , a picnic basket packed with a green blanket for sitting on , a pale green scrapbook to be filled with photographs , and a book guide to ghost hunting ( his own personal touch , just for fun ) . “ if you don't like the gifts , can you just pretend you do for me ? i'll give you receipts for everything , though . ”

evelyn glances over in the direction of the so - called cutie , trying her best to not make it obvious she's looking . “ you sure they're checking me out , not you ? there are two of us here , you know . ”
"don't look now but that cutie over there is TOTALLY checking you out." the petite blonde hummed, giving a gentle nudge of her head in the direction of the aforementioned person. "what's the vibe? you need me to be your wingman or your bodyguard?"
