(( So basically here this is our characters celebrating Christmas together (if they have a family; well I guess this only applies to Otto XD then they are here too). Even the elites are here Oh and for shits and giggles this after The Rifter War (non-canon of course) Everyone has to provide a gift for EVERYONE at the gift exchange Sparty Russel and Bella can be together at this point or just getting together like last Christmas This is Bella's old family home in Gustaf Stockhelm (don't worry it is big enough they had a large family. Why here because it is a very wintery landscape with snow blanketing the ground and nice evergreen trees plus Mountains Oh and somebody gets to be Santa for Otto's kids )) *** Bella tidied up her old family it home it unsettled her that she was just allowed to have it but at least she knew that her mom and family was alive as they had moved to one of Stockhelm's moon's when the Antimatter bomb destroyed the capital and the areaing surrounding it....damn the Covenant. Of course her neighbor has been nice enough to cut her some fire wood and she placed a fresh log into the fireplace. *** Otto drove the "Family Sized" Civilian Warthog through the wintery landscape of Stockhelm. The restlessness of his children were droning on in the back seat asking such questions as " are you there yet, I am hungry and the other whining of children". After years of hell he would not have it any way as long as he was with his family there was such as thing as heaven on Earth. The Warthog rolled up to the large wooden Swedish style house. He helped his wife and then his kids in the vehicle with Jenny's hand in his hand and his daughters in the other accompanied by his son on his shoulders. He would be back to get the P-R-E-S-E-N-T-S from the trunk. *** Elias drove his Eden Sports-car (that he had flown in of course just to drive it). He cursed as it was not meant to handle in the snow but what did he care with the money he had could buy a new one. (OOC Rich from his hockey career and his drug money from Sanghelios). Through much sliding and stalling his GPS guided him through the wintery landscape to the address Bella gave him. He saw a car was already parked her a family vehicle....Otto must of been here already that bastard. He locked his sports-car. He was smart and already sent MOST of his gifts to Bella's house already but he grabbed the only one he did not send her as it HAD to be a surprise (Lolololo Sparty it is the same gift from our IRC-RP ...all of it ) *** Katar grumbled why had the human's dragged him away from Sangheilos to some world that was suppose to have been crippled by his people as they destroyed it's most populated city. He unlike many of the other's here would be dressed in full armor as was suppose to be working but Inwa had made him take the day off to go to this stupid thing....as long as he got to wear his armor. He would pretend to have a good time. Inwa just had to find the gifts. " come on your promised you would behave Katar....don't you dare mention the attack here " whispered Inwa into his ear as Katar drove the ground shuttle he had brought with his small personal ship that was docked at a Terminal on this planet. He was glad this thing hovered as he had heard it was hard to drive on the ground in the snow. " I know...." said Katar loosening up. He too arrived at the human house. ((OOC So they are all inside now I just did not feel like getting the door for them and such so when you get here Otto, Otto's family, Elias, Katar and Inwa plus Bella of course are inside ))

Russ relaxed inside the newest car in his arsenal. Of course, the Bugatti Veyron Supersport took a LONG time to convert but it was worth it to have a thousand-horsepower race vehicle. That, and the snow here covered up what would be known as the roads. No full speed today.
He parked it in the driveway, revving it to redline once letting everyone know he was here. Jacobs was, as always, in the AI chip, this time connected to the car.
He was happy at the prospect of seeing Bella again: he'd been working lots since the end of the Rifter War, mostly with colonial efforts. After working diligently, the UNSC finally let him have a year-long break before at least being bureaucratic.
If he had heard during the HCW that several years from now, he would be in love with a Spartan and actually enjoying something other than killing, he'd have laughed. Now, he was smiling.
He took his helmet off, breathing the frosty air on Bella's home. He might as well call it his home too... after all, once Earth was nuked, he didn't have one. He quelled that thought, and knocked on the door, being VERY careful to not punch a hole through it.
Oops. He said a small, "Sorry" and made a mental note to duct tape the hole later or at least jam something through it.
(OoC: Yes, Russ and Bella are now an Item. Maybe in the RP, too. Oh, and Russ is probably going to hug Elias to death for giving him the awesome present.
As for Jacobs... maybe he'll socialize with some of the AI.)

(ooc I say yes to the RP; I just gotta get the Justin thing done and we can start establishing it here (slowly of course not all in 1 thread ) ) " you made it " said Bella giving Russel a big hug. " Otto, his family, and Elias are already here" *** "psst Otto check out the lovebirds" whispered Elias hitting Otto. " Hey save some action for tonight " hollered Elias being his normal assine self.

Russ looked at Elias as he hugged Bella. "Hey, asshole, you try getting a girlfriend during the war and actually commit to it, then we talk." He looked at Bella. "So I did. I'll have to start unloading the gifts now. Bugattis don't have any trunk space."
He walked out to grab his gargantuan mountain of gifts. One half was inside the small hood: the rest had been piled awkwardly onto the side-seat.

((OOC/ Can Zaku be Santa? =D Oh, and Justin'll drop in on Bella and Russel. Because he's just that Hot Chocolate Love. xD))
Justin cursed and spat as his cheap rental vehicle backfired loudly, and stalled. The jade-eyed young man managed to pull it to the side of the snow-crested road before it died rather noisily. He began to pick up his mobile communicator, but then he remembered that he was trying to surprise Bella with a Christmas visit... the effect would be somewhat marred if he came in a tow truck. So the SPARTAN supers-soldier, clad in a hideous thigh-length white turtleneck and tight red sweatpants topped off with a Christmas hat and a bright scarlet scarf, stormed out of the vehicle and into the biting cold. He lifted the hood up, and spat out a series of very un-Christmaslike expletives to the general area. When Justin squinted, he could actually see Bella's family home on the next rise. Well, time to put that SPARTAN-II strength to work...
Twenty minutes later, Justin grunted to a stop outside of Bella's family home. There was a variety of different vehicles outside... so the brown-haired SPARTAN let go of his rental car's forward bumper. After another few minutes, Justin calmly removed the armor he had clad to aid him in dragging his vehicle over to the house, and put it in the backseat. He then went and pulled on his hat and scarf again, and adjusted the thigh-length turtleneck. Once he grabbed the gifts, he'd be ready.
-----------------------------
Zaku looked down at the tiny human in front of him in the terminal. The tiny mammal's eyes were the size of gas giants, and she slowly picked up the metal detector, as if terrified that he would attack if she moved too quickly. The fully-armored Sangheili Fleet Master simply raised one eyeridge at her. She waved the scanner, and it beeped the second it was activated. He had metal on him. No shit, Sherlock.
She began to blubber something, but Zaku merely growled, "Marry Chis-mass, whelpling. And live with him for a while" As he said that, he promptly grasped the security attendant by the head and placed her on the other side of the checkpoint. The Sangheili warrior clomped through the spaceport, and arrested his luggage from some crazy old bat. She was fiercely adamant that his bag was hers, and he was forced to thump her on the head and stow her in a luggage rack so he could get out with his bag. After an hour, he managed to find a taxi that was of adequate size, and directed him to the Lundquist family home. This should be fun....

(OOC Why the hell not Ares ) " Why don't you try having some fun besides settling down would put a dent in my hockey career as I could no longer play for a team because they give me a nice paycheck plus besides I would be traveling alot " yelled Elias back. *** " alright but I want to see you under the misteltoe later " whispered Bella before Russel went to get his gifts. She walked over to sit a spell with Elias, Otto and Otto's family. " Elias why don't you shut your greedy Czech mouth " said Bella back tempted to flip him the bird but there were children present. " Now that that is settled would anyone care for a drink " asked Bella. " Vodka if you have it but anything is fine " said Elias. " I am good for now I will wait for the party to start before I do anything but don't worry I will catch up to you Elias " said Otto. *** The Phantom containing Katar and Inwa arrived. Katar saw that Zaku was here so he decided to greet his old friend....he would get the gifts later. " Zaku it is been awhile old friend " called Katar as he got off from the gravity lift with Inwa faithfully at his side.

Russ smiled back at Bella as he began hefting gifts. Shortly after the first few were inside he looked Elias in the eye. Everyone knew that glares from a Spartan were VERY intimidating. "Elias, compared to yours my life has been a living hellhole. Icame here to have fun, not to break skulls. Consider that your only warning." The venom dripped out of his voice. He would not put up with arrogant assholes on, of all days, Christmas. With that resolved, he headed into the frigid air to bring the last of the presents stashed in the Bugatti's hood. The last two loads were stashed in the sideseat. He never noticed Justin. Jacobs popped up in the house. He waved to the people already assembled.

Zaku nodded. "Truer words were never spoken, my friend. How would you lovely wife be doing, may I ask? Because I have been quilted by that little, yellow-furred gibbon into pretending to be some obese old human who wears red and... oh, forget it."
----------------
Justin stared at the door. Russ had gone out, got something, and went back in. Without noticing him. Wow. That was nonobservance at work there. The emerald-eyed spartan rolled his eyes, and he strutted up to the door. After fixing his rather feminine red scarf and thigh-length turtleneck, the very masculinely-muscled young man jabbed his finger into the doorbell, waiting for a response. He couldn't wait to see everybody again...

Nathan emerged from a nearby pile of snow, pausing to dust the flakes from his shoulders as he rose. He was clad in a plain white tanktop... and a clip-on tie.
It was Christmas, after all.
As if to add to his already strange appearance, he sported his MJOLNIR gauntlets, as well as the boots. As he approached the homestead, he hopped over the low fence that surrounded the structure.
Man, would they be happy to see him.

Russ looked around. He saw Justin at the door, and yelled, "YO JUSTIN, HOW'VE YOU BEEN!"
He then mentally facepalmed at Nathan's appearance. It wasn't that there was bad blood between them: it was that, in Russ' mind at least, Nathan was a complete blubbering idiot matched only by SPARTAN-1337. He walked over with a large pile of gifts, and entered the house after politely asking Justin to give him a little bit of walking room.

Justin greeted Russ just as enthusiastically, "RUSS MY MAN! I BEEN DOIN' FINE! HOW ABOUT YOU?!" The jade-eyed Spartan clapped the dark-skinned man on the shoulder and walked into the house behind him. Justin's bag of presents contained fewer gifts, but each of them seemed a little bit bigger and considerably heftier than most others. The flamboyant man strode into the Swedish house's living room, and placed the bag of likely weaponized gifts on the floor by the outrageously-sized Christmas tree. Justin smiled at the holographic Jacobs, waving in return. He then walked over to Bella, plopping down on the couch next to the blonde bombshell.
"Bella!" he exclaimed. "It's been a while! How have you been? We need to catch up!" Then, he cast a glance at Elias. "Is he annoying you?" the jade-eyed Spartan inquired Bella. "Because if he is, I'd be perfectly happy to molest him."
-----------------------
Zaku glared down at... fantastic. That same little old lady was tugging on the nine foot-tall sangheili's luggage again. The ice-eyed zealot snapped, "Unhand me, you... you... crazy old bat!" The Ship Master pulled his rather hefty metal bag from the tottering crone's hands, and swung it in a powerful backswing. The old mistress of decrepitude, probably some holiday treater's dear old grandmother, went promptly sailing off her feet and into a luggage rack. Zaku growled, "Stay away from my luggage, you rotting fossil..."

AS she struggled into a taxi, Lyra concluded that the heels had been a bad idea. Three inched tall and spindly, the fact that they were boots mattered not. She still couldn't walk in them. That and the red coat she was waring kept getting stuck in any door she walked through. She sighed glumly and hefted the enormous bag of toffee she had brought as gifts. The taxi pulled up in front of a house. She could see a vaguely familiar shape standing outside of the door. Lyra fell out of the taxi as she opened the door and struggled through the snow to see who it was. She dropped the toffee on her foot. "SHIT! Ow ow ow." She winced and straightened up. "Justin?"

Bella gave Justin a big hug and gave him that kiss on the cheeks greeting that women tend to do to each other. " Oh my God Justin yes we must catch up it has been so long...love the scarf by the way..pray tell where you got it I am looking for a new scarf " said Bella once she let him out of his hug she gave him following the greeting. " As for Elias do what you want with him just don't get hurt...he is a little grumpy" said Bella whispering the last part. *** " Inwa is the same old....though she has managed to drag me here and on a few week holiday to other places I probally don't want to go to " said Katar. " how did that blonde furred creature manage to get you to be the one the call "The Santy Claws" she fears our kind....like she should" asked Katar. " is that ancient creature your pet? ". Katar pointed to the old lady trying to pry Zakus luggage from him.l

Russ emerged inside again and said, "I've been doing fine, for once I'm not shooting people in the face. The Spartans got paid leave. I'm being paid to be Grif."
(OoC: Yes, I just reference Red vs. Blue.)

Nathan knocked twice, opening the door before anyone had a chance to respond. He made his way to the other side of the room, then plopped down onto the couch. He eyed Bella.
"Hey, did you think of a name yet? For the baby? I'm still thinking you should call him Maximus. Or El Marcador."
