A/N) Here's the promised Christmas chapter which I was desperately trying to think of a theme for yesterday and finally came up with one (helped by a little brainstorming with my mum XD) Enjoy and have a great Christmas!
Online: JumpingJellyfish, GamerGirl, AccordingToTheAccordian
AccordingToTheAccordian: Hey there Shellington
AccordingToTheAccordian: you back from the Christmas market yet?
JumpingJellyfish: ...
AccordingToTheAccordian: Shellington?
GamerGirl: he just got back
GamerGirl: except he's a slight bit - frazzled by the experience
AccordingToTheAccordian: ... frazzled?
JumpingJellyfish: oh me oh my ...
GamerGirl: hey, that's my line!
JumpingJellyfish: I felt that the situation called for it, honestly
AccordingToTheAccordian: are you alright, Shellington?
JumpingJellyfish: I just went for a six hour Christmas shopping trip with the Vegimals.
JumpingJellyfish: ALL the vegimals.
JumpingJellyfish; do you really think I'm alright
GamerGirl: was it bad?
JumpingJellyfish: bad's not the word
JumpingJellyfish: the local City Christmas Market is beautiful and completely packed, with thousands of Christmas lights and selling all the things you could imagine
AccordingToTheAccordian: so what's the problem?
JumpingJellyfish: I think the problem might be that it's Christmas Eve and you should never, NEVER go full-out Christmas shopping on the last day before Christmas Day
JumpingJellyfish: ESPECIALLY not with 16 overexcited Vegimals who all want to try and fit into one tiny Santa's grotto and seem to love singing carols completely wrong in a carol singing service in the city centre
GamerGirl: lol
JumpingJellyfish: Not lol! No laughing, out loud or otherwise, was involved! When just 15 minutes in, Codish managed to get stuck halfway up the Christmas tree clinging to a bauble! Grouber found his way to a Christmas food stall and tried to take a bite out of literally every type of food there, and Tominnow got overexcited in a clothes shop and barrelled into four separate Christmas jumper stands before I could catch her
GamerGirl: I think my lol still stands XD
AccordingToTheAccordian: are the Vegimals just a little bit excited for Christmas, then?
JumpingJellyfish: just a little
JumpingJellyfish: Tunip was at least still vaguely sensible and did try to help me round all the Vegimals up
JumpingJellyfish: but then he discovered chocolate fudge and he's lost to the world
GamerGirl: and you thought all this was a good idea because...?
JumpingJellyfish: it wasn't my original plan to take them!
JumpingJellyfish: but then Tunip heard me talking to Dashi about buying a couple last-minute presents and wanted to come, and of course I couldn't say no to him. But then - all the other Vegimals heard about it as well and wanted to come, and...
GamerGirl: and that meant you then took 16 Vegimals with you on the Gup E to a city centre, taking them around shops at the height of Christmas and letting them eat sugary Christmas snacks...
