Christmas "Meme"

Welcome to the Dinohouse Christmas "meme"! This is going to work a bit differently from most memes, but still free free to do what you want here!

The idea:
Following this post I will be making an assortment of Universe/Location "thread" comments. These will define the specific scene and universe being worked in. Comments by applicable characters will follow under that comment.

Example:
Mushverse; Shiba Mansion; open to Shinkengers

Comments following that would all be set in the Mushverse universe, be by any Shinkengers that want to participate, and take place at the Shiba Mansion Christmas party. Think of it sort of like every "top level" comment is its own post to the community.

Following that example, if your desired AU/Canon/etc isn't there, feel free to make a "thread" for it! Say there's already a Mushverse Go-busters "thread", and you want to do something in Aibouverse, or something more canon, maybe just between two characters? Make one!

Comments following the "thread" headings can be group setting free for all, or between individuals. Say it's a canon GokaiGalleon party, and Gai and Luka want to go off alone, or are on their way to the Galleon together? Their thread can be a separate second level comment thread beneath the main Canon Gokaiger thread.

I know that's a lot of information/qualifiers, but don't let it make you nervous to post, "rules" are fluid, and mainly set for added organization.

HAVE FUN. And enjoy the season!

I scowl at the nickname. I hate it when they call me that, I'm not a child.

[yellowlion]

I cough, then cough again, and look down at my feet. "Do you think it's too late to call for pizza?" I ask them ruefully. "Yuusuke, Katsu-ch- Katsumi?"

[redfalcon]

What's wrong with him?

I grab a newspaper and wave it in the general direction of the smoke alarm. It doesn't help.

[hotshotlightning]

"I don't think Megumi would appreciate pizza," I point out as Yuusuke starts waving a paper around. "It's not particularly festive."

I yelp in surprise as Yuusuke manages to waft a glob of white goo in my direction, wiping at my face and glaring at him.

[redfalcon]

"Sorry. Sorry. Here." I grab the teatowel and swipe at his little face with it.

Kids. Why's he always so grumpy? Shouldn't he be out there enjoying his youth?

[hotshotlightning]

I swipe the towel back: I can wipe off my own face, thank you.

[redfalcon]

Better get Jou cleaned up as well. I grab another tea towel and dive straight in.

The smoke alarm has stopped at last, but the room's still full of smoke. Someone should open a window.

[hotshotlightning]

I flap the towel in front of my face to try and get the smoke out of my face but it doesn't work. Nothing for it, I'm gonna have to open a window, even if it's freezing out there. It'd only be long enough to get rid of the smoke anyway.

[redfalcon]

It's freezing in here.

"Close the window, will you? It's like an ice box in this kitchen!" I pick up the remains of the pizza and go to throw them out.

[hotshotlightning]

"I'm just letting the smoke out," I tell him. "I'll shut it in a minute."

Seeing as waving bits of paper around doesn't seem to be doing anything.

[yellowlion]

It is surprisingly difficult to apply burn cream to your own ass.

I walk gingerly back into the kitchen, in mismatched clothes because I forgot to do laundry this morning, and smile weakly at Yuusuke and Katsumi. "Um. Sorry."

[hotshotlightning]

"Uh huh." Megumi's going to be so pissed when she finds out about this and considering the mess we're not gonna to be able to clean this up before she does.

"How did you set yourself on fire?

[yellowlion]

"I don't know," I say helplessly. "There were potatoes, and a book, and then there was just HOT."

[hotshotlightning]

"Why were you reading while you were cooking?" I demand. If nothing else that's the best way to get burnt food. Though that still doesn't explain why...

"Were you leaning against the oven?"

[yellowlion]

"I was reading the recipe book!" I protest. They always think I'm so absentminded, but it's not like I wandered off to find a magazine or to check on an experiment, I was focused on cooking, at least...

I blink at him. "...maybe."

[hotshotlightning]

I give him a sceptical look because with Jou you can never tell sometimes. Then I sigh.

"Even I know not to lean against ovens and I'm not even from this planet," I point out. You'd think he'd learn.

[yellowlion]

"I didn't do it on purpose," I protest. "I didn't think, oh well, it's a lovely day, why don't I just set my ass on fire? That isn't what happened."

[hotshotlightning]

Uh huh. I just fold my arms and give him my best unimpressed-Megumi face.
