[There is a large man in a red coat carrying a bag about. Is it… Santa!? No. It’s Vash. He has some gifts and he’s out looking for people to give them out to. So if your name is Luka, Flonne, Eiko, Kohaku, Salt, Miyabi, Toph, or Sokka please be expecting a Vash to run at you in the street or be stopping by your place if he knows where you live.

Meryl - your gift he will be giving you when he gets home.

And if you live at the One Piece house. You have a sack with a crudely drawn Vash wearing a Santa hat picture drawn on it with the words ‘Ho Ho Ho!’ pinned to it. Someone doesn’t want to be around when Sanji gets his. In it you will find gifts wrapped for each member with their names on it.

Nami - a pair of earrings
Luffy - Meat
Usopp - a pair of warm slippers
Chopper - a first aid kit
Brook - Rosin and other items to make a violin really shine.
Sanji - Lucky guy you get two. One is a bottle of the finest wine Vash could find. The other? The ingredients to make the drinks they were drinking the night of the bet with a note: For practice.

There is also a huge bag of candy in the pack, as they always seem to have people over and Vash didn't want them to feel left out. And if there is no one over, then everyone loves candy!

Vash is also carrying candy canes and cards. So if he’s met you even just once - feel free to either find a card or show up and retrieve it. Feel free to also approach the strange man in the red coat if you haven’t met. He has extra candy canes! He also loves kids, so if you're a kid in the area, there will be a stranger offering you candy. Of course you take it!]

[Oh, look it's Santa Vash in the marketplace]

Hey, Vash!

Oh! Hey Salt! [He comes running over while rummaging in his pack. He pulls out a tiny box with a smile] Merry Christmas!

[His smile widens as he reaches out to take his present] Thank you!! Merry Christmas to you too, Vash!

[It's full of tiny sugar cookies! He worked hard to get them to be a good size for you!]

Edited 2009-12-25 18:22 (UTC)

You made these yourself, Vash?

I sure did! [They may not taste the best in the world but they're not bad! He made sure to not give you the burnt ones.]

Can I eat them now?

Sure!

[and starts nomming on them, crumbs flying!]

[Happy laughter] Glad you like them!

I do!

Good! [Slings his bag over his shoulder] I have more gifts to deliever! I'll see you later Salt! Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you too, Vash!!

[Oh hi, Santa!Vash. When you drop off that sack at the OP house, there will be an afro skeleton behind you when you turn around to leave]

Yohohoho! Good afternoon, Vash-san!

[GAHHHHHHHHH! SKELETON! SCARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR-]

[Oh! It's Brook and not Sanji! That's okay!] Oh! Hey Brook! Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you as well! [Tipping his hat] It's strange that I should find you here! I just went to see you earlier so that I could retrieve the gifts I hid at your apartment!

[What ARE you doing, Vash?]

Oh yes! I was just coming over to tell you that you could stop by and get them! [There is no sack behind him! And yeah. That's totally the reason he's around...] Would have brought them myself but I didn't think I could get the... you know... down the stairs on my own.

[B-but there's a sack right there! That excuse makes sense though, so for now he'll forget about it] Oh splendid! Shall we go back to get them, then?

Yes! We can go right now! [Walking away with a laugh. Not that he doesn't want you to get your gift Brook. He just wants to go before Sanji spots him.]

Very well! [Turning to leave. Someone's in a hurry] Do you have plans for this holiday?

Not much I guess... have some gifts to hand out. But other than that just the usual stuff!

Ah, as do I! Afterwards though, I am sure my crew and I will be celebrating. You should join us!

I'll... think about it. [And he will... as Sanji would probably have found his gift by then but would he really ~~kill~~ hit him with a bunch of people around? Hmmm.]

Edited 2009-12-25 15:37 (UTC)

Excellent! I know we'd be happy to have you!

Need me to bring anything? I can stop and get donuts! [Because if donuts are there he'll come Sanji or no Sanji! It's worth the risk!]

[But one of the things he got you was donuts... But hey, if Vash brings donuts, then he can eat some too] If you wish to bring some, I would have no objection! There will be lots of other food too, of course!

[Vash can never have too many donuts. And he wouldn't have to share those. Or you know - you can tell him he doesn't have to bring donuts to every party he gose to.] A good party needs lots of food!

[But then there'd be less food XD] Indeed they do! Sanji-san is making all sorts of dishes, I believe. It'll be a feast for kings!

As long as he doesn't posion mine...

Eh? I highly doubt he would do such a thing! Sanji-san takes cooking very seriously. I can't imagine him tampering with food!

Sounds good then!

Hey! [Originally Heine wasn’t going to get a gift because I couldn’t think of anything cool… but I’m going with the silly thing I thought of earlier. So… you’re being handed a gift now!] Merry Christmas!

Edited 2009-12-25 17:57 (UTC)

What?

Christmas! I just found out about it myself really... but it's a holiday I guess where you appreciate your friends! By hanging out or giving them gifts.

Sounds strange.

I think it's a great idea! [Handing you a colorfully wrapped box with a joke book inside and a bottle of Whiskey with a bow wrapped around it.] Merry Christmas!

What?

[Grinning] They're gifts! For you!

Why...?

Because you are my friend!

....What?

We have nothing in common.

That doesn't always matter! [Helps... a lot.]

[just kinda...looks at the gift.]

[Smiles] I hope you get enjoyment out of it!

Thanks...?

You're welcome! And Merry Christmas! [Turns to go with a wave. He has lots of gifts to give out!]

[how strange. we never get gifts.]

[Usopp = post-cricket coma of sorts. When he finally does awake, though, rest assured that you are just about his new best friend ;;]

((no lie, you're going up in the relationships post and everything today))

[~~Hay, gurl, haaay~~~ Oh, who is that exiting the bakery, holding a sack of her own on her back? Why, it's none other than your little bouncing friend! She's stocking up on sweets to give to Salt - as well as some ingredients to bake stuff for him. Spotting the red coat is rather easy with all the white around.]

Ah, Vash! [Hophops over.]

Hey! Miyabi! I was looking for you! [Rummaging through his bag.]

For me? Why for?

[Tilts her head, staring at him and the ginormous sack as he goes through it, looking for something. This entire thing is still very new to her, so she has absolutely no idea who you're trying to impersonate, Vash.]

[He pulls out a sack that is festively decorated. It's filled with chocolate chips. He had a hunch you like chocolate for some reason.] Merry Christmas! [And that's okay! Vash doesn't really understand all the Santa business himself really. He just likes the appreciating friends bit.]

Edited 2009-12-25 18:24 (UTC)

Ah! Th-Thank you! Merry Christmas to you as well~

[Huh, what ever are these little things? She's never seens a chocolate chip before... Miyabi takes one, and bites into it. When the familiar, smooth, sweet, and slightly bitter taste fills her mouth, she gasps.]

[I-Is this...]

[Could it be--!?]

[It is! It's CHOCOLATE!! Oh my gods, Vash, you are her new best friend forever. Miyabi squeals with delighted rapture, hopping up and down excitedly as she eats it all. A massive grin is now plastered on her face and she hugs one of your long legs as she kind of just...flung herself at it.]

Yaaaaayy!! Thank you, thank you so very much, Vash! You're the greatest~

[He likes that you enjoy it so much! He was a little nervous.] You're very welcome!

[She rubs her face against your pant leg happily, smiling and laughing. D'aw you just made her day, Vash. Look how happy she is~! Miyabi doesn't let go just yet - your clothes are soft and cuddly~ - and just looks up at him, or tries to. Sob, so tall.]

You're so nice, Vash! I'll be sure to make you something really nice, too! ♥♥♥

[Wow! He did pick a good choice here!] Don't worry about it! I don't need anything! I'm just glad you liked it!

Nonsense! It'd be rude of me if I didn't return your kindness with a gift of my own~ Besides, giving gifts is always better than receiving them, hee. And I want to. I love making things for my friends! ♥

[She finally drops from his pant leg and hops back to stare up at her friend. What would he like? Did he like sweets? Cakes? Tea...? Maybe she could paint his portrait.]

Well! If you really want to I guess! [Laughs happily]

[ She'll be around the house, trying to cook something special for today. ]

[Vash walks in after a day of gift giving. But he has one left!] Merry Christmas Meryl! [He hands you a small box which has inside it a bracelet he found to be fun and colorful. As well as a pack of fifteen coupons! Five free meals of your choosing. Five free backrubs. And five days of your own personal Vash slave with no expiration date!]

[ She takes the box and takes a moment to sit down, feeling a little self-conscious about opening it in front of him. She opens it carefully, then perks up in surprise, looking over the bracelet. She ends up smiling softly, turning it over in her hands. ]

Vash, it's really pretty. Thank you!

[ She won't comment on the coupons. Her only thought there is a chuckle and dork, and that would ruin the moment, after all. ]

I'm glad you like it. [He smiles shyly] Although it doesn't seem as special for some reason when everything here is free. [Playful grin] So I made you the coupons.

No... it's still very special.

Then I should take the coupon book back?

You'd really take back a gift?

N-no! [He's just rethinking the 'slave' ones... now that he knows you would have liked the bracelet just fine.]

[ She laughs lightly and puts the bracelet on. ]

Merry Christmas Meryl.

Merry Christmas, Vash. The food will be done soon, so take a breather, okay?

Oh boy! What is it!?

[ She walks back over towards the stove. ]

You'll see.

[He pouts for a couple seconds before shrugging with a sigh.] Aw alright. [Goes to put his gloves and such away.]

[ She goes back to cooking, humming quietly to herself. ]

[He'll go lounge and warm up a bit. But after a bit calls out like an impatient kid.] Is it done yet?

[ She's pulling a pan from the oven. ]

Maybe~.

Maybe? [He likes maybes!]

Maybe!

[Don't tease the hungry Vash! He's coming out to investigate] Maaaaaaaaaaaybe~?

[ She'll be putting food on the table. ] Looks like it.

Good! I'm starving! It smells great!

[ She has Ham, some veggies, and stuffing out. ]

Everything smells great to you, Mr. Vash.

I don't think so. I smelt some burnt cookies today and they didn't smell great at all.

Then, I'm astounded.

This smells much better!

I'm glad it passes the test, then! Go on, help yourself.

With pleasure! [He's starving and it does look great. Taking the first bite and-!] AHHHHH! It tastes as good as it smells!

[ She sits down and starts to eat. ]

Ah, thank you.

Mmmhm! You must have worked really hard on this!

It is a holiday.

I like this holiday!

It is rather nice, isn't it?

When we go home. We should remember to do it there too.

I'm sure Milly will really enjoy it, too.

Oh... but think of all the gifts she'd have to get for her family.

She'd have to spend her whole salary.

...and possibly get a second job.

Pretty much. She can get generous.

[Luka's at the town square, like almost always. It has quickly become her favorite spot.]

Luka!! [Vash comes running over while rummaging though his bag before pulling out a fairly large box. Inside it is a wind up record player with a selection of records to play on it.] Merry Christmas!!

Hello, Vash! Merry Christmas!

[Looks at the box.]

Is that for me? I don't have your gift here, I was going to give it to you later.

That's alright! I don't need anything and you can open it later if you'd like! [Weak laugh] I hope you like it... it's harder to pick out gifts than I thought it would be.

[Open it later? Yeah, right. She'll open it right now. Her face illuminates upon seeing it.]

Oh, Vash!! It's wonderful, thank you very much!

[Hug and kiss for you.]

[Oh wow! Hug and kiss? Happy laughter and he'll give you a hug back. Sorry. Kisses are harder to get from him!] I'm glad you liked it! I made sure it worked; but I haven't listened to all the records yet.

It's perfect, and something my brother can enjoy too, we can listen to them together. Thank you a lot, Vash.

You're very welcome!! [He's so happy he picked out a good gift!]

[You glorious man. How did you know Chopper needed another one? ~~Because his crewmates are idiots who can't keep out of trouble for two days?~~ In any case, he'll very happily accept it and thanks you.]

['Sup, have a Kohaku wondering over! Since she lives alone, she doesn't feel like staying inside on a day like this!]

Hello!

Edited 2009-12-25 20:26 (UTC)

Hey!! Kohaku! I have something for you! [He comes running over fishing through his bag.]

Y-you do?! [Ffff, she feels bad that she didn't get him anything now...;;]

[Well! He's handing her a package anyway!] Merry Christmas! [And inside is a cute little china doll]

..Thank you. [Though she isn't sure what to do with the box...~~Because she's a dork like that..~~]

[Smiles!] You can open it now or wait til you get home. I hope you like it... I wasn't very sure on what to get.

Oh, uhm... [She'll open it now, in the most awkward way possible. Using her legs as a table to hold up the box while she floats, and unwraps it...which might take a minute or two. She's having a hard time...]

[Vash stands and blushes slightly as he tries not to stare.]

[Give her a minute, and she'll have it open.] It's pretty!!

You like it then!? I wasn't sure what you'd like.

Yes, I do! Thank you very much! [Have an...awkward hug. Since it's a little hard to hold onto something and hug someone at the same time]

[Vash likes all hugs!] Good; I'm glad!

[Sweet. So does Kohaku.] Umm...I'm sorry I didn't get you anything though...

Don't worry about it! I'm just so glad you like it!!

Are you sure??

Sure I'm sure! I just wanted to do something special for my friends!

Alright. Thank you again!

You're welcome!

[Oh, it's that person he saw at Nami's house after everything ~~blew up~~ settled down. What was he wearing?]

What are you doing?

[Vash just wears an epic coat all the time.] Oh! Hello again! [Waves] I'm handing out gifts to my friends! [Holds out a candy cane] Merry Christmas!!

[Somehow the mun read that wrong and thought he had a Santa outfit. *needs to pay attention* Hugo takes it in surprise and just looks at it.]

Thanks, but...

What's this?

It's a hard candy!

[Please explain. Have a curious look.]

Haven't you had a hard candy before? Suck on it! It's sweet!

Okay. [Hugo probably should learn never to take candy from a stranger, but it should be harmless right? He does as told without a second thought, surprised at the taste.]

It's sweet. [Yes, he's echoing you, Vash.]

Isn't it great! Not as good as donuts... I found them in the shops and they just looked good!

It's different. I've never tasted sweets like this before. I wonder if Sergeant knows about this.

I have extra if you'd like to take a couple to him!

Sergeant isn't here though.

[Blinks. Oh wait.] Could I still have some? [Caesar and Jacques might like them.]

Sure! [Hands you a bunch.] My name's Vash by the way. I don't think we ever got properly introduced!

Thank you!

I'm Hugo of Karaya, but you can call me Hugo.

You going to the party at Luffy's later?

There's a party?

Yeah! You should come! As you helped get rid of the bugs and all! [Yes; he's inviting someone to someone else's party. But he figures with the OP crew that's fine.]

I'll think about it. Are you sure it's okay?

[Loud laughter] Yeah! I'm sure they'd love to see you there!

All right! I'll ask my roommates if they want to come along.

See you there then!

[... Was he seriously dressed as Santa Claus? Kouichi will just watch him from a distance, a little amused and a little weirded out.]

[Vash isn't going for the santa look. He just wears red all the time. But hey! Person staring! He waves.] Hello there friend! Merry Christmas!

Edited 2009-12-26 02:53 (UTC)

[He nods, then points to the candy canes. What's with those?]

[Hm... can't this kid talk? Vash smiles though.] These are candy canes! They're a hard candy I found at the store! Want one?

[Oh, well, that wasn't a bad thing. He nods, smiling.]

[Hands one over.] Suck on it first though. Biting it might hurt your teeth. [Don't ask how he knows that.]

[He nods, though he already knew that. He's guessing it might not have been common in his world then. Still, as long as it's not dangerous, he can accept free candy.]

[Luckily Vash is a decent guy! No posion!] The name's Vash by the way!

[He pulls out a small notebook he started carrying around due to his bleating problem and scribbled on it.]

Kouichi Kimura.

[Staring at it for awhile. Japanese is something Vash isn't good at.] Ko-ui-chi?

Edited 2009-12-26 06:12 (UTC)

[Yup. He nods at that.]

A pleasure to meet you!

[Scribble scribble.]

Nice to meet you too.

Do you normally just hand out gifts like this?

No; but it's Christmas! Everyone should get a gift!

[He nods, smiling.]

That's pretty nice of you, Mister Vash.

[Happy laughter.] Well; I guess everyone likes getting gifts! And it is Christmas!

[He nods, then scribbles.]

Do you celebrate Christmas where you come from then?

[Shakes head] Afraid not. This is the first I heard of it... but it just seemed like a great idea!

[Kouichi nods at that. Scribbling then!]

It's nice to spend it with your friends.

[Happy smile] Yeah; it's nice being able to live in realative peace here with my friends.

[Headtilt, then scribbles.]

Did something happen in your world?

Haha! Well; nothing too big [Just major] But there's always things that seem to come up. Kinda nice for a break - you know?

[He nods in understanding. It was nice to have a break sometimes.]

[Slings sack over his shoulder] I have more gifts to hand out! So I'll see you around! Merry Christmas!

[He nods and waves goodbye, before wandering off as well.]

[you're lucky Sanji is in a festive mood and can take a joke right now, Vash. He sees your gift and just chuckles - oh, he'll take you on in another drinking game eventually]

[and just to show there are no hard feelings, Sanji is gonna sneak to Vash's place and put out a box of donuts freshly made from that morning]

[And if Vash knew right away they were from Sanji he might have had Meryl test them for him first. But - pffft. Donuts! Fresh donuts! Eat first. Ask questons later. OH NOM NOM!]

[he's free to have an inkling when he notices the box is marked "To the Broom Head"]

[Psh! Could be Meryl! Even Nami has called him that! But these don't taste like the donuts he's gotten from the bakery so he suspects! Mmmhmmm. Donuts good.]
