No one was surprised. I tugged the ribbon off and pulled the paper apart carefully.

Inside a soft Seculus-like plushie rested there. Carefully sewn up, and a real candy cane hooked around its neck.

🌀

.....oh. So....this is what it looks like. I'm sure it was sans the candy cane originally, though. Madison leaned over and stared at it. "Wait, is that /you/?" "....yes. This is....how I got out. Lucifer tore it up....." I lifted it gently and pressed it against my chest with a soft sigh. "....thank you, Ivory. So much."

"You're welcome. I'm glad you like it."

"I do." I reached over and squeezed her hand.

She smiled softly and squeezed his hand before she reached over and tossed Lance a gift. "Before you're so drunk you ruin it."

He started to tear into it.

Cale grabbed it away from him, keeping the wrapping paper in one piece as he removed the tape piece by piece.

His gift was an acrylic painting on him. Eyes closed, wings spread, and in nothing but a sheer peice of fabric as he held out his arms. Behind him was a cacophony of colors, all blending towards him. His rose pale skin shined against the canvas.

Cale stared at it, then stood up, wobbling, and left with the painting.

"No give it baaccck!" Lance followed him.

"Well then I guess he liked that. Who's next?"

2016-06-12 10:40:21

🌀

I raised my hand.

2016-06-12 10:41:12

●

"Madison? Okay."

2016-06-12 10:41:28

🌀

I grinned. "I'm looking forward to this."

2016-06-12 10:42:31

●

Ivory handed him a wrapped rectangular looking box.

2016-06-12 10:43:24

🌀

I raised an eyebrow and pulled the two layers of wrapping paper off. I blinked at the box label. "A phone?"

2016-06-12 10:45:33

●

"Yes. Figured you had been needing one. My number is already in it just in case."

2016-06-12 10:46:07

🌀

"But it's un--nevermind." She'd taped it back shut after adding her number. "Huh. Thank you. Damn, that's a nice model....actually, I was, I kept having to borrow Seculus's." Just in case. .....so I can call her in case it gets bad again. That's...that's good. I reached over and hugged her.

2016-06-12 10:48:56

●

She returned the hug. "Then I'm glad you have one of your own now."

2016-06-12 10:50:04

🌀

"You should open my present next."

2016-06-12 10:51:27

●

"If you insist." She found his and started to open it.

2016-06-12 10:52:06

🌀

It was a neon yellow bag, and under the first couple of layers of tissue was a small, flattish egg-shaped pink device.

2016-06-12 21:40:28

●

Curiously Ivory pulled the pink device out.

2016-06-12 22:00:05

🌀

I grinned. "Press the button."

2016-06-12 22:26:12

"This is what I think it is. Isn't it?"

2016-06-12 22:38:20

🌀

"That depends. What do you think it is?"
