> Be Anon, marooned on an ice floe
-
> It's been days since you last had human contact, and
-
> "Let's help him up, Sonata."
-
> Two sets of slender arms lift you up and you wobble on your ice skates
-
"Ah, thanks girls."
-
> Adagio smirks
-
> "You know, you should have said you didn't know how to skate."
-
> You try to move forward, but your foot slips and you grimace as they catch you again
-
"Yeah, well I saw how excited you three were, and I didn't want to hold you all back."
-
> Sonata leans over and gives you a peck on the cheek
-
> "Aw, you're a sweet guy. For realsies."
-
> Adagio hums in evil contemplation
-
> "You know, Aria needs to be sweeter, she didn't even come over to pick you up."
-
> You have a bad feeling about this
-
> Sonata grins
-
> "Maybe his sweetness will rub off on her?"
-
> "What a wonderful idea!"
-
> With that they start skating, dragging you behind them as you struggle to stay upright
-
"Uh, girls, this is a bad idea..."
-
> They ignore you and go faster
-
> You whimper
-
> Then they let go, and you focus on just keeping your skates straight
-
> You collide with a soft bundle of swearing and growling
-
> The two of you slide until you gently hit the wall
-
> Aria glares up at you
-
> "When you're done humping my shattered body, could you get off?"
-
> You roll off and to the side
-
"Sorry! It's the other two, they did this. Um. Are you alright?"
-
> She slowly gets up, using the wall for support
-
> You sort of follow her example, just with more slipping and scrambling
-
> "Yeah, I'm fine, just a little thirsty."
-
"Oh, that's good. We can-"
-
> "Thirsty for revenge."
-
> You sigh
-
"Of course."
-
> Aria grabs your hand and drags you off onto the ice
-
> You begin to suspect that she was an Olympic speed skater in a previous life
-
> Even though she is towing you behind her, she's gaining on the other two as they flee
-
> With a wordless cry of triumph, she hurls you onward, and tackles Adagio
-
> You manage an inarticulate yelp before you bowl her over
-
> You roll off of her with a groan
-
"Aria sends her regards."
-
> Sonata giggles as she helps you up
-
> "She can be so nice sometimes!"
-
> As the four of you slowly get to your feet, an official comes skating over
-
> "Look, it's the holiday season, so I'm only going to give you a warning. No horseplay on the ice, got it?"
-
> Adagio nods seriously
-
> "We understand, it was just a bit of youthful high spirits. We'll be good from now on."
-
> The official seems barely satisfied by that answer, and skates off with a frown
-
> The girls break down laughing once he's out of sight
-
> You just sigh and wobble
-
-
> You pull into the parking space for your apartment, the sirens all in the back
-
> (They tend to fight too much over shotgun if you let them)
-
> You slowly get out of the car, aching somewhat from the exertion and collisions from earlier
-
> Sonata holds your hand sweetly as the other two disappear into the apartment
-
> "Thanks for coming with us, it was a lot of fun!"
-
> You give her hand a squeeze
-
"No problem, I enjoyed it too...eventually."
-
> She giggles
-
-
> The four of you sit on the couch, under a blanket, and sip from mugs of hot chocolate
-
> Sonata leans against you on your left, and Aria from your right
-
> Purple grump smiles grimly at the claymation movie
-
> "That's right, no one wants to see your damn mutant nose. Father of the year, right there."
-
> You meet Adagio's gaze on the other side of the grump, and perform a synchronised eye-roll
-
> You get rather drowsy, with a belly full of hot chocolate and two warm girls leaning against you
-
> Adagio smiles tolerantly and collects the empty mugs and carries them off to the kitchen
-
> Sonata pulls a lever on the side, the couch reclines, and your feet are lifted up on a foot rest
-
> Well, you know where you are sleeping tonight
-
> Apparently the girls do too, because they snuggle up to your arms
-
> Adagio comes back, and makes a face at the new development
-
> She lifts up the edge of the blanket by your feet and crawls under and up to your chest
-
> She lays her head on your chest, and wriggles a bit before getting comfortable
-
"Comfy?"
-
> You get two little contented sighs, and a grunt
-
"Goodnight, girls."
-
> "Goodnight!"
-
> " 'Night."
-
> And another grunt
-
> You smile fondly as you sink into sleep
-
-
> It's dark when you wake up
-
> Something feels off
-
> Siren roll call:
-
> Adagio: On your chest
-
> Aria: Right arm
-
> Sonata: Gone
-
> Tom Servo
-
> Crooooooowwwww
-
> Then you hear what woke you up in the first place
-
> "Christmas Christmas Christmas Christmas Christmas Christmas"
-
> Maybe if you stay very still...
-
> Sonata's face looms out of the dark
-
> "You're awake!"
-
"Agh!"
-
> Your startled yelp awakens the other two
-
> Adagio gives you a sleepy glare before resolutely resting her head back on your chest
-
> Aria rolls over and curses
-
> "It's two in the fucking morning. Go back to sleep, Sonata."
-
> "But it's Christmas!"
-
"Then take your stocking to your room, and have fun over there."
-
> "But I want to cuddle~" Bluey whines
-
"And we want to sleep. You can't always get what you want."
-
> Sonata pouts, then brightens up
-
> She grabs her stocking and then slips back under the blanket, scooting her backside up against you
-
> Adagio gives you another sleepy glare
-
> "Having fun down there?"
-
"Sorry, hand full of butt right now."
-
> "Yeah yeah, just let me sleep alright?"
-
"Understood."
-
> Your consciousness fades to the sound of candy being unwrapped
-
-
> You wake up again, this time with pale winter sunlight shining through the window
-
> Sonata sits at the base of the tree, obsessively stacking and restacking the presents
-
> From the smell in the air, Adagio is making something like pancakes, or maybe french toast
-
> That leaves Aria, still asleep
-
> At some point, she stretched an arm across you, and her face is pressed against your pectoral
-
> You shift a little, charmed by her sweet embrace
-
> At that slight movement, she nuzzles her face against your chest
-
> Goddamn, she's cute when she sleeps
-
> She must have sensed that thought, because her eyes blink open
-
> Aria turns a confused, sleepy gaze at you
-
"Morning."
-
> "Mm."
-
> She blinks a few more times and looks around
-
> Purple slump frowns and exhales through her nose
-
> She tries to get up, but then she just falls back in your chest
-
> "Sonata's the worst."
-
> You give her a light back scratch with one hand
-
"Whatever you say."
-
> She hums in pleasure at your ministrations, it almost sounds like a cat purring
-
> After a few more minutes of just lying there, she stretches against you, also not unlike a cat
-
> As Aria gets up, she takes the blanket with her for a robe
-
"Hey!"
-
> She glances at you
-
> "Oh, right."
-
> She pats your head
-
> "Good pillow."
-
> You feel oddly flattered
-
> Then she wanders off towards the kitchen
-
> You rub your arms in the slightly chilly morning, then walk over to Sonata
-
"Merry Christmas, Bluey."
-
> She jumps up and gives you a big hug
-
> "Merry Christmas Anon!"
-
> You hug her back, savoring the warmth
-
> Then she breaks free and drags you to the kitchen
-
> Adagio looks up as you enter
-
> Dat apron
-
> "Merry Christmas, Anon. Have you ever had crepes before?"
-
"M'christmas, and I don't think so. Is that what those are?"
-
> There is a large pile of what looks like a cross between a tortilla and a pancake
-
> You grab a plate as she explains it to you
-
> "There's a bit more egg than in your normal pancake, and the batter's thinner. What you do is spread some sour cream, powdered sugar, and some fruit, and roll it up."
-
> You follow Sonata's example as she assembles the dish
-
"Sorta like a dessert burrito?"
-
> "I suppose."
-
"Sounds good. Thank you, Adagio."
-
> She flips a crepe and smiles at you
-
"You're welcome. Oh, and don't wait for me, I'm just going to cook a few more, then I'll join you three."
-
> You cut into the roll, spearing a it with your fork
-
> A bit of strawberry syrup drips onto your plate, carrying a bit of sugar and sour cream with it
-
> You quickly slide the morsel into your mouth and chew
-
> It's surprisingly good, a nice balance of sour, sweet, and tart
-
> You swallow
-
"Hey, this is pretty good! You have my compliments, chef Dazzling."
-
> Adagio performs a bow, a wry smile on her face
-
> "You're too kind."
-
> You're on your second crepe when she joins you
-
> After five, you're too stuffed to even consider the candy in your stocking
-
> Sonata is bouncing in her chair, looking at each of you with bright eyes
-
> "Is it present time yet?"
-
> Aria cricks her neck
-
> "Might as well be."
-
> Adagio hesitates a moment, her eyes on the dirty dishes on the table
-
"It is Christmas. We can do chores later."
-
> Adagio stands up decisively
-
> "Very well, let's open our presents."
-
> Despite her show of reluctance, you notice she isn't any slower than the other two about leaving the kitchen
-
> As you enter the living room, Sonata flags you down to your pile of presents
-
> You say pile, but it's only three, money is a little tight in the Dazzling-Mous household
-
> Adagio clears her throat
-
> "We'll each open one, alright?"
-
> General nodding
-
> At some subtle cue, the four of you tear into the wrapping paper
-
> Your first present is...
-
> You open the small box to find a pad of ten hand-written coupons
-
> "Good for 1 free hug from Sonata Dusk. This coupon is non-trans-fer-able, for realsies."
-
> You are pretty sure you can get Sonata hugs whenever anyhow, but this is pretty cute, so you don't mind
-
> You look around to see everyone else's gifts
-
> Sonata is happily putting on some snowflake patterned knee-high blue socks
-
> Aria is looking unimpressed with a stack of temporary tattoos, but you see a hint of a smile on her lips
-
> Adagio is sniffing at a largish bottle of shampoo
-
> She gives you a questioning glance
-
"Yes?"
-
> "This was pretty expensive, wasn't it?"
-
> It was
-
"Don't worry about it. Do you like it?"
-
> She trails her fingers across the label, considering
-
> "Yes, I do. Thank you, Anon."
-
> The other two turn curious gazes at her, and she stares right back
-
> "Now for the second gift, girls and boy."
-
> Whatever interest they had is gone as they focus on their next acquisition
-
> Your box is heavy, and rattles a little
-
> You open to find...
-
> You immediately scowl at Aria, who glances at her pad of coupons
-
"Handcuffs, really?"
-
> She gives you a predatory grin
-
> "I thought I might teach you some restraint."
-
> You hold your ground, if just barely
-
> She can be so intimidating when she's sexy, and vice versa
-
"I suppose I can practice using them on you."
-
> Her grin widens
-
> "Just try it."
-
> You hear a thump off to the side
-
> Sonata is happily clamped onto a struggling Adagio, a stuffed penguin sandwiched between them
-
"Lucky penguin."
-
> Adagio scowls at you
-
> "I could use some help here!"
-
> You tear off one of your coupons
-
"Sonata, I'm using a hug coupon right now."
-
> She gives Adagio a final squeeze, then latches onto you, holding you tight
-
> You hug her back as best you can
-
"Adagio give you something nice?"
-
> Bluey looks up at you with shining eyes
-
> "It's the best! Look at penny!"
-
> She shoves the nearly spherical penguin doll in your face
-
"Oh, that is very nice."
-
> "Mmhmm!"
-
> Adagio recovers her breath, setting aside what you suspect to be yet another set of handmade coupons
-
> After another quick hug, Sonata scampers back to her last present
-
> After a round of nods, the wrapping paper flies
-
> ...
-
> It's a collar
-
> A dog collar
-
> With a leash
-
> You look up to see Adagio trying on a black choker with a silver brooch
-
> You hold up the dog collar
-
"Did I miss the memo about a merry dominatrix Christmas?"
-
> Adagio adjusts her new necklace and gives you a sweet smile
-
> "Don't worry, we love your gifts too. I suppose Aria and I just happened to think of you along the same lines."
-
> You sigh theatrically
-
"I may be needing Sonata's hug coupons more than I thought, this year."
-
> You hear a pop
-
> Sonata gazes in wonder as the little hemisphere of rubber jumps high into the air
-
> "This is amazing! Thanks Anon!"
-
> Adagio gives you a sidelong glance
-
> "A cat toy? Really?"
-
> You shrug
-
"She seems to like it."
-
> You are suddenly forced onto your back, and your vision is filled with the face of a horse
-
> "Do you think this is funny?"
-
> The horse growls with Aria's voice
-
> ...
-
"Pfffft ha ha ha! Yes!"
-
> She whips off the horse head and glares at you
-
> You don't care, you're still laughing
-
> Sonata sidles up to Aria
-
> "Can I see it?"
-
> Aria hesitantly hands it over
-
> Bluey dons the mask slowly, and you are reminded of a certain lord Vader
-
> She turns this way and that, the muzzle collapsing and wobbling under the torque
-
> "Wow, I can't see a thing in here..."
-
> Aria just stares, her lips trembling
-
> Sonata starts crawling, heading directly for Adagio
-
> Princess Poof tries to back away, but she hits the couch
-
> Blueberry's horse lips hit Adagio's face head on, collapsing under the pressure
-
> "Mwah!"
-
> Aria fails to conceal her smile at Agent Orange's disgusted expression
-
"See? It is funny."
-
> Purple grump's smile turns into a scowl, and she punches you, admittedly somewhat lightly
-
> "Whatever."
-
-
> For the rest of the morning, Aria tries for a full sleeve of tattoos, Sonata alternates between cuddling her new friend and playing with the cat toy, and Adagio takes a long bath
-
> You content yourself with cleaning up the dishes and throwing away the wrapping paper
-
> It's not the most extravagant life you lead, but it is dazzling in its own way
