Thought you might want to know there's a little girl saying you've got a thing for kids. And by kids, you can probably figure she means the kind in green underwear and ankle boots.

I think I need a drink. It'll wash out the taste of vomit.

[sturmnbatarangs]

[and after some quick stalking]

...Hm.

She's not someone from your world?

[undeadsidekick]

Fuck, no.

And you are too fucking calm about this.

[sturmnbatarangs]

There are worlds where Gotham only exists in comic books.

I know you're not much for the holidays, but would you mind fielding a question about the one coming up?

text | yeah 5 freaking tags ish | earlier this month

[sturmnbatarangs]

I'm going to guess you're talking about Christmas instead of any number of holidays you could be referring to.

Re: text | hey hey hey... yeah five of them | earlier this month

Winter Solstice doesn't seem to be making much of a fuss, nor any of the other ones I've come across on the Guide.

Do you know what the gifting etiquette is for Christmas?

Re: text | we're like tagging machines | earlier this month

[sturmnbatarangs]

It's likely to do with the high representation of Earths on the ship.

The gift depends on the strength of the relationship. Coworkers or general acquaintances can receive a fairly generic, inexpensive gift- food or something practical, job related. For friends, you usually give one 'thoughtful' gift- something they would enjoy, usually ranging between [futuristic equivalent of $15-25 dollars here] at your age. Parents may give their children multiple presents each year; whether or not the children reciprocate varies on the family. Family gifting traditions are usually quite varied and often depend on the size of the family itself. Cash is generally looked down upon unless it's an older relative giving it to a teenager or young adult.

There's no obligation to give gifts, but many people feel uncomfortable with the idea that they could receive a gift and not have one in exchange. Keeping a stock of generic gifts for such an event is a possibility.

[guess who is not one of those people who will feel uncomfortable not reciprocating?]

Wayne.

I take it you've seen the drive's effects taking action. You're too secretive to risk it, so I assume you're not going to be sleeping for a while either.

Consider this an offer of alliance.

[aka HELLO.]

[Text] Saying this now. I regret nothing

[notwhelmed.livejournal.com]

You're probably going to be really mad at me for this.

[Text]

[notwhelmed.livejournal.com]

I mean the fact I'm sending you a bunch of texts instead of just explaining the whole thing in one text.

Re: [Text]

[notwhelmed.livejournal.com]

Although that's silly since texts usually have a number limit anyways. Seriously.
