It's... colourful. A pleasant change. However, I'm still not sure how much I'll enjoy this holiday. [... Castiel's first heaven-reject Christmas, he's allowed to be sceptical.]

SYSTEM GLITCH || ARRIVAL HOLO: Buddy

[buddythe-elf.livejournal.com]

In the wee hours of this winter morning, the tablets in Taxon have done something... Odd. Anyone paying attention, or in the middle of a conversation, will notice the screen blink a few times. When the blinking is done, the screen will be filled with lines of code with a small progress bar at the bottom.

Five minutes later, the code is gone. Almost as if it had never been there to begin with.

~*~*-*-*-*~*~

Buddy doesn't usually find himself in places he shouldn't be. Really, he's been very good about it until now. Or, at least he's tried to be very good about it until now.

Now, though, he's standing in the middle of the arrival room in Taxon (yellow tights and all, thank Mrs. Claus) and has an Etch-A-Sketch scoop in one hand while he looks around in awe at his new surroundings.

"Oooooh, it's like a silver bell!"

He pauses as he looks around. This should probably be more surprising to him, but he's very easily distracted.

"Or an ornament!"

...Good luck, citizens. You'll need it.


[ooc: Start of the system glitch! If you don't have time for a thread, or just don't want one with Buddy for whatever reason but still want to participate in the happiness he causes, go ahead and assume they talked in any posts/threads where your character is effected. If you don't want to tag here, but do want a thread with Buddy, leave an ooc note on your post and I'll get him to you ASAP. ♥]

It would appear that someone talked to that overgrown elf, because someone tends to like to jump to insults a little too quickly (seriously, those tights are an assault on eyes everywhere). If he was completely conscious of the change that came about after speaking to him, he'd certainly complain - but he's not, so if anyone feels compelled to ask, he's completely fine. Better than fine, actually. Ethan hasn't felt this good in years; ridiculously happy, refreshingly light, and actually giving a damn for once that it's almost Christmas.

It's boring at his place. And quiet. This is not acceptable -- it's annoying, actually. And he knows exactly how he could remedy that. Ethan has to wonder why he didn't do this days ago, instead of walking around and holding a grudge like some kind of kid. Levi's the closest thing to a friend he has at the moment, and since he tends to just piss off everyone else he talks to, he hasn't had much to choose from in the company department. This, of course, is bound to change in the next nine days.

Anyway, he gets to the door, and if it weren't for that invite-only thing, he'd be walking right in. So he knocks loudly on the front door.

"Hey. Blakely! You in there?"

Knock knock knock knock. Knock knock knock knock.
