Okay, what's with everyone being such Scrooges? We're a TV special about the true meaning of Christmas waiting to happen!

(Seriously, everyone knock on wood or we'll get a flood based on that out of spite. The Admiral's obviously either actually Santa or a huge, "I have a shrine with candles in my closet to you" fan of the guy.)

It's just for a month. This seriously isn't the worst thing that's ever going to happen to you. Trust me.

So.

Any new throwbacks to the literal ship of the damned, or are we kind of in a holding pattern for now?

[Friends Filter*]

So I heard most of you met Gwen.

[And he's kind of. Embarrassed but pleased and all together appreciative that he's, you know, got friends here, who aren't crazy or more acquaintances than anything else. People who have his back.

It's nice. And he's pretty sure it's never really going to stop feeling new and different and awesome.]

And I get why you're trying to talk her into going home, but unless the Admiral sends her back before whatever happens, happens, she's not going anywhere. Believe me, she's not. [He knows, okay.] Which means I've gotta ask you all a favor.

If - and I'm pretty sure we all know I really mean "when" - something bad happens, something like last time, and if I'm affected and you're not, keep an eye out for her?

I mean, [And he feels like he needs to clarify, because seriously.] The person I was there, he wasn't like, a monster? But I have no idea what it's going to be like this time, and I just, I don't-

[He sighs, drops his face into his hands for a brief moment and rubs at his forehead before looking back up.]

I don't want her to get hurt.

[...]

Also maybe don't tell her I said all this? [There's a guilty cringe.] I mean, don't not tell her, but. Just. You know. This is weird enough without this getting thrown in?

[*ooc: if you think your character should be on this filter, they are!]

[Peter clicks on his feed and holds up his ugly Christmas sweater. Let's just say it's very... bright. And is - appropriately - Spider-Man red and blue, which is. Fun.]

So, does anyone actually want to wear these? Or like, I don't know, use it for parts or something? [Anya, you like to knit right?] It's too bad there's not like, a universe that actually wants this stuff we could like, donate them to or something.

Unless that is someone's universe? Anyone? Anyone? ... Bueller?
