The Zephyr lobby is decorated with festive knicknacks and gewgaws. Holiday pine trees and lines of tinsel cover the walls and a huge stage has been set up with a throne for the inevitable visit of Santa Paws. Guests have started to trickle in, and a small army of wait staff stand ready with all kinds of food and drink. There is a buffet table too, of course, if you can't wait for a waiter.

Euoia wanders in to the lobby, knowing full well that buffet tables are PvP enabled areas. Sie grabs a plate and looks for some simple finger foods to enjoy while waiting for others to join in. Sie is not sure what is going on, but plans to just enjoy hirself along the way.

Leighton is already at the buffet, giving a quick nod to Euoia as she approaches. The dragon girl too is filling her plate before the place is getting too crowded so that she does not have to get physical to get a slider or whatever.

Bleu hops into the room, with a rabbit following close behind. The kangaroo pauses, sniffing the air. Lots of good food, he can smell. "C'mon, Jojo, baby... Let's go hit the buffet."

Mingled with the incoming crowds of people, the white furred rabbit Jojo skips into the decorated hall, wide eyed with it's splendor. It had been so long since he had been to a gathering such as this before! It only made it better that he had found Bleu to accompany him close by. He hops in front of him backwards, death tcock amazing! I really love how Zephyr set the place up, props to them! Yeah, letcock see what they have! Ooohh, I hope therecock something sweet!el and takes the other rabbitcock hand to drag them over!

Keyes, dragged in by richard, his skin mattered with bite marks and his cheeks flushed from what they had been doing just a few moments prier. His eyes took in the scenery with a bit of amazement, but he could feel Zivadin against him, and had a feeling that she wasn't going to let him go even with them being moved. Biting his lip and trying to be somewhat modest he guided the pair of them to a seat to the side. "L-Lets try to not draw too much attention?" He whispered to the skunk, shivering as he would leave his lap open for her as his fingers stroked down her back. His eyes glancing over to Richard as they did. "Are you looking for...bleu again?"

Richard, literally trailing a pair of lobby lovebirds behind himself in the blue goo of his body, slides in to the holiday party. "Yep," he replies to Keyes, "Comms says that he's around here some-" His voice catches as he spots a kind of familiar kangaroo by the rapidly crowding buffet. "There he is!" He slips into the back of the line, but not before planting a kiss on Bleu's cheek. "How've you been? Making some more friends?" He glances over at the rabbit, hoping for an introduction.

Zivadin she takes keyes hand to find the most secluded hidden spot in the room " we should be ok here now what to do with you hmm? you interupted me and made me stop i know" she has him lay down as she sits on his face using her fluffy tail to support his head as she nudges im encouragingly

As guests start to funnel in, a mousy-looking man in a rather tacky looking suit steps up to the microphone on the elaborately decorated stage. And when I say mousey, I mean it literally, of course. He has long whiskers and big, round ears and rather prominent buck teeth.

"Um, hello everyone," he says timidly, "Welcome to the annual Zephyr Holiday Party! We're real glad to see you all here. Just a couple of things as we get started. Please enjoy the buffet, I am sure we have something good for everyone." He clears his throat and continues. "Also, management has asked me to remind you all to clean up after yourselves. We don't want any accidents like last year because of people's... um... fluids, yeah?" He smiles again and beckons offstage. "Finally, I want to introduce a couple of guests. First we have Doctor Elias Thomas, who has recently recieved an award for scientific achievement for his work in the new field of Nanite Technology!"

He leads the polite applause as a distinguished looking, human gentleman takes the stage and gives a half-hearted wave.

Euoia sits down with a nice plate of dim sum, mini-hot dogs in pastry, and other finger foods. Sie slowly eats while making a note to talk to Doctor Elias about his work to learn more and see what applications it may have in the department of nanomagic design. Sie finishes the plate after a bit and gets up to introduce herself to the good doctor when he is available.

Leighton flops down in a chair close to Euoia and picks at the food on her plate. Giving business awards to people is not very Chri- Standarized Holliday-y in her mind. Oh well, surely this part won't last too long.

"Well, there you are," Bleu says to Richard. "You didn't answer my texts, so I thought you were unavailable..." He gestures to the rabbit with him. "Anyway, Rich, this is Jojo, an old friend of mine. Jojo, meet Richard."

Jojo looks over the assortment of freshly prepared items over the table and picks out the sweetest treat he could find! "Mmmm!" A rush of flavors that made him clap his hands! "Oh Bleu, you have to try this one! And this one over here! And-" he stops abruptly once he hears the mic being handled and brings his attention over to the mouse speaker. He can't help bit giggle at the mention of last year's events. He leans over to anyone nearby and mutters, "I wonder what that could have been!" with a mischevious snicker. Once Doctor Elias is mentioned, Jojo holds the treat he's eating in his mouth to free his hands to applaud! He had seen all the amazing stuff Nanite Tech had and was accomplishing and had to admit it was pretty handy to have around. "Congratulations Doctor!" and in a lower voice to the nearby participants, "and they need to give an award to whoever made these creme treats! Yuuum!" The rabbit's ears swivel to Richard and Bleu, and he offers his free paw out in greeting! "Hey there! It's so great to talk to you! I hope you're enjoying yourself here."

Keyes curious gaze looked around the room, catching for the first time what this mysterious Bleu that Richard seemed so infatuated with looked like. Finding a small smile tugging on his lips as he saw the warmth of the two of them as Ziv's hand tugged him away and between the crowds. With only one hand to spare he ended up having to use one of Zivadin's jiggling cheeks to give off the polite 'clapping' sound when the doctor was announced. But that was the last he was able to see before he was tugged down, his body hidden by the tablecloth before their seats as his head became wrapped up in a soft, warm blanket of a tail. His muffled voice silenced in the dripping liquid of her hungry lips. And not wanting to get in trouble for 'leaving a mess', as the rodent had asked. He found himself suckling upon her dripping need, gulping down her essence as his tongue was lapping at her naked desire as the quiet sound of the party fluttered against his ear.

Richard claps wetly, as goos are wont to do, as the doctor takes the stage. When the mild cheering subsides, he takes Jojo's hand. "So far. I know that these two," he gestures over his shoulder, "have been having a good time. Or at least Ziv has. Keyes, Zivadin, this is Bl-" He finally *looks* over his shoulder and finds his plus-two for this party have vanished. "-ooh shit, when did they run off?" He takes a quick glance around, and, not seeing them, he shrugs and picks up a plate. "Hey Jojo, any reccommendations from the buffet?" As he says that, he could swear he hears some hanky-panky in progress under the serving table.

Zivadin she moan as she feel his tounge go deep into her. while keyes face is still buried in her she goes back to sucking on his dick she gives it her all as this was her first blow job and 69 she refuses to ease up until she feels his cum gush down the back of her throat. with at she turns around with both of their faces covered in each others fluids, she looks him in the eyes and simply says "its time" with that she stradles her new virgin lover she slides his dick into her as slowly as possibly to savor every moment of his expression as he slips deepen and deeper inside of her. she leans in and kisses him while she postitions him inside her until she finally starts moving her hips

As the polite applause dies out, the scientist quickly vacates the stage, probably ready to grab a plate and flee to a less conspicuous spot.

The announcer gives a buck toothed smile and waves for the crowd's flagging attention. "There will be music and dancing in just a little bit," he says, "After everyone has eaten their fill. And of course you can come and meet with our guest of honor, Santa Paws!" He gestures dramatically at the side of the stage as a huge, hairy, bearded figure all dressed in red leather and fur bounds onto the stage!

Anyone familiar with Fenris will recognize the big tanuki under his slightly unconventional Santa suit, though he has somehow managed to grow a short, curly, white beard. He waves happily at the assorted agents and mutants who recieve thr news of a visit from Santa with varying levels of enthusiasm. The burly San-Tanuki makes his way across the stage and plops down in the large throne prepared for him.

"Santa will have a special gift for each employee who cares to come and gove him a visit," the announcer explains, "Enjoy the party!"

Euoia gets up to grab another plate at the buffet bar and try to converse with the doctor and pick his mind for possible nanomagic applications to his work. Sie again picks finger foods that would work for engaging discourse. "Ah, hello Doctor Thomas. Mind if i join you and ask about possible applications in other fields? I would like to hear more about your research."

Leighton cocks her eyebrows as she stares at Fenris for a moment. Somewhat suspicious about what kind of gifts her acquittance might be bringing. The half-dragon crosses her legs and continues snacking for now. Not eager to be the first person to go sit on santa's lap.

Bleu smiles and tries to kiss Richard, then says to Jojo, "I should have said already... Rich here is my boyfriend. A lovely man." He loads a plate with food as he chats. "I'd like it if the three of us sat together, huh? Jojo and I have a lot to catch up on..."

Jojo nods his head eagerly and skips around his gooey companion to load his tray full of an assortment of sweets, candies, and deserts! "This one looks pretty neat here! And these are amazing! OH! Where did they even find these things? I've only had them once ever and they were to DIE for, you have to try them!" Then to Bleu he responds, "Your boyfriend?! That's so beautiful you both click like that! Yeah we should-" His eyes follow over to the busy fellow named Santa Paws and his eyes light up in newfound delight! "A gift?! I adooore those! Let's go get one, that sounds awesome! What do you think it could be?" and starts his way over to the red-dressed tanuki! "Let's totally sit together after!" he calls back. As nobody else had joined them before the bunny, he steps up with an excited wiggle of his tail and rests his hand on the tanuki's knee. Jojo hadn't no real previous recollection with many traditions, though it all seemed all the more interesting to him! "Hey there! What kind of presents do you have?" he churls.

Keyes was certainly having his 'fill' of a feast, as the mousy announcer encouraged them to do as the grasping and flooding lips continued to fill his every breathe. Making his mind swim from the sheer heat that was bathing through his breathe and filling his being as he was forced to gulp it down. Yet that didn't compare to the sudden eager, all consuming pleasure that was tugging upon his lips. A pleasure he couldn't stand with his sheer lack of experience. It didn't take him long to surrender to Zivadin's lips, bursting with a creamy treat to fill her as he cried out against her hips. The loud cry instantly silenced by her own hips, as a thick flood of her pleasure filled his mouth and coated his face. Making him fail in his task to keep the seat 'clean' as he laid in a puddle of her lust as she pulled back. "Oh no...I'm not a employee..."Realizing that he might of just snuck in, completely accidentally to a company party, he had a moment of worry. A moment of worry that melted away when the hungry eyes of the skunk above him locked upon his face, and he gulped at the sheer desire he found himself meeting. With her seeing his expression flushed, his hair slicked back by her own juices as he panted with half liddened eyes. "Its...tim-Ah?!" The still tingling member slid into her grasping lips, twitching hard, grinding against the hungry walls that started to swallow him up as his eyes fluttered. His gasping breathes starting to grow louder before they were silenced with her lips, made quiet once again as he moaned. His fingers grasping against her fur and sinking in tightly as she moved. The sheer strength of his trembling manhood showing her signs that he wouldn't last long within this melting pot of bliss. She might actually be able to drain this once virgin boy's essence of every last drop if this kept up~

Richard is CERTAIN he hears something under the table now. He peeks under the tablecloth. There they are. He'll leave them be for now, but if the snack table starts a-rocking he'll have to come knocking. He sneaks another tongue-kiss to Bleu (which tastes like blackberry slushee syrup, for some reason) and starts filling two plates with the items that Jojo recommends. "Yeah, we met at one of Magnus's expeditions a few months back. We drank, had a good time, and then had several more good times." Before he can elaborate, the hyperactive hare is dashing through the lobby on a one rabbit crusade, laughing as he goes, to get a gift today. Jingle bells. He shrugs his slimy shoulders and says to Bleu, "Go catch up with him, I'll be there in a sec." He slides one of his treat-filled plates under the table for an after-sex snack for the couple, and then starts filling a third with cookies for some unknown purpose.

Zivadin her feelings grown more intense by second from the human inside her she cant believe he was a Virgin she came just from him entering her and with every kiss is like lighting spreading through her entire body. what are these feelings getting stronger by the second all she wants now is to be one with him and continue to melt into each other she has never felt this way before her body moving on its own not out of lust but for the sear disire to pleasure him and his every gasp and expression driving her on she cant stop her self from pushing him up to her womb. she cant bring her self to break their embrace just the feelings of his tongue against hers is almost enough to bring her to orgasm. she doesn't know what is happening but all she knows is she doesn't want it to stop, she take his hands in hers and grasps them tight as she con

Zivadin as she continues to give it everything something she has never done before

Doctor Thomas is filling up a plate with an assortment of fruits and veggies, and starts a little when Euoia approaches him.

"Oh!" he cries, just managing to keep an olive from rolling off his plate, "Ah, of course. Forgive me, I was rather hoping to just slip out. I don't usually come to these sorts of things. Perhaps another time, Miss..." he trails off, prompting Euoia to fill in the gap.

Jojo's enthusiasm is met with a warm chuckle from the burly tanuki. "That depends on if you have been good this year!" he rumbles, lifting the little rabbit into his expansive lap. Up close, he smells powerfully of sweet milk and fresh baked cookies. "Why don't you tell okd Santa what you want for Christmas?"

Euoia punctuates in with, "Euoia. Agent that does odd jobs and helps with nanomagic research as an assistant. I know a good table near the door if you want to slip out later. "I rarely have time and was hoping on learning new methods and practices with nanites and how those may change various applications of current nanite theories" Sie sighs a little. "You look rather tense actually, i'd perscribe a good cider for that."

Leighton finishes her plate, looks around for a moment and as casually as possibly puts it down on her chair, not seeing an area to put them right away. Now that she is standing she might as well queue up for Santa. Seeing how someone else is in front of her and she can always bail out if things turn weird.

Bleu nods at Richard, and hops after Jojo. May as well be second in line, right? "Mmm, what would *I* want from Santa?" he muses aloud.

Jojo presses his finger into his cheek pondering it over for a moment, swaying his feet in the large tanuki's lap.. then it hit's him! "Oh! I want.. a really big, yummy treat! The other ones are so small and go away so fast! I want a reeeally big one I can enjoy way longer!" His mind fills with all the possibiltiies with a blissful grin!

Keyes notices the sliding plate of treats that clatter up besides them, and he might of taken a treat, or even a sip of one of the drinks as a refresher. Unfortunately his hands found themselves entwined, and pinned besides his head, the heat of the warm skin of his palms soaking into her paws and spreading light tingles of heat from the hand holding warmth of affection the gesture had. Yet it also ensured that he wasn't escaping her as his half liddened eyes gazed into her own. The pace she was moving was utterly maddening, he couldn't think straight, he could barely breathe without it turning into a sodden breathe of passion that was fed to her kissing lips. He could feel the tip of his trembling, aching shaft beating against the very depths of her core, and that was when he couldn't handle it. The once virgin reached his first limit. Crying out against her thirsting lips, a thick, hot flow of warm cream flowed into her core, spreading their tender heat through her as he twitched and arched up against her.

Richard hands one of his plates off to Bleu, saying "I left my armor behind when I shifted into a goo. I need to go change. Be back soon." He punctuates that with a sloppy kiss on the cheek, then ducks out of sight.

%t "Mr. Claus!" a melodic and non-masculine voice calls, hardly a half-minute later. A lithe little elf lady with green eyes, shoulder-length brown hair, and nothing but a skintight red leotard and miniskirt to keep her 'modest.' Kind of modest. The leotard has a neckline that dips down to her navel, and the skirt doesn't even come close to the tops of her matching stockings. Black, buckled booties clack against the floor as she jogs up to the side of Santa's seat, and then salutes. "Rasberry Candystripe, junior confection inspector and gift assistant, reporting for duty!" Falling to an 'at ease' position, she spies a conspicuous candycane on the plate that Bleu is holding for Richard. She plucks it from the plate, rolls it between her peppermint-stripe painted fingernails with a pensive expression, and then gives it a good, long lick. After smacking her lips in thought, she nods and smiles. "This candy cane is up to standards. As you were, reveler," she states with authority, placing it back on Richard's plate.

Zivadin the warm flood gushing into her sends a surge through her she has never felt before and a strange feeling in her womb all she could do is push back against it force as much as she can in her womb continues their passionate embrace just looking into his eye her heart beats out of her chest. what is happening to her is he feeling it? she breaks the kiss for a moment to ask "so hows it feel not being a Virgin anymore." she smiles warmly blushing "you were great" she assures him as she lays her head on his chest listening to his heart beat while basking in the bliss of still feeling him throb and twitch inside her and feeling his seed soak deeper inside her

Fenris, er, Santa laughs warmly at Jojo's request. "Well," he chuckles, "if you have been nice this year, I think I can oblige." He reaches into the big bag beside his throne and produces a gigantic, multicolored lollipop, neary twice the size of Jojo's head and passes it to the bunny. "There you go, little friend!" he booms happily, patting him on the head and moving him along to make room for Leighton.

"Hello, little Leighton!" he grins, "You've grown since the last time I saw you!"

Doctor Thomas looks uncertain about Euoia's invitation. He seems to have a moment of internal struggle, then he seems to give way. "Alright," he says, "My therapist has been telling me I could use a bit more social interaction." The human follows along to Euoia's chosen table and settles into a chair. "I'm afraid I don't generally drink in public, though. Water will be fine for me."

Santa, meanwhile, seems a bit surprised to have a new assistant. He tilts his head curiously at the new elf, then laughs. "Welcome, Miss Candystripe! Glad to have you aboard!" He waves a thick paw at his bag, indicating that the new elf ought to look inside.

Euoia smiles and flags a waiter. "Two waters, please." Sie turns to the good doctor. "I know that most people now-a-days understand what nanites can do in the field of genetics and in some ways, basic material composition. I'd like to hear what possibly will be possible applications of your research to these areas?" Sie smiles and idly eats a fried chicken leg.

Leighton gently lowers herself on Fenris's lap. And subconciously crosses her legs. "I had a bit of a growth spurt yes." She makes a show of rubbing her chin. "I don't know! Maybe a cute outfit?" She winks at the tanuki. "I have been exceptionally good, as I am sure you know."

Bleu stares hard at the new elf. Huh. He'd hoped for a chance to fuck Richard silly under a table later, but for now he'll have to make do with humping Jojo... After he sits on Santa's lap, of course. But he has to wait a little longer, nibbling on a cookie.

Jojo inhales deeply at the sight of the giant candy, and gives Fenrir a tight squeeze with his smaller arms before accepting the gift with an excited twirl and bounding off back toward Bleu, glancing around to where Richard might have gone in his excitement. "Thank yoooouuu! Look! Look at this, it's awesome! Ohmygosh what do you think it tastes like?! I have to try it!" He takes a looog lick and squeals in happiness and joins the kangaroo and... a newcomer! A smaller girl with pointy ears and festive attire. "Hi there!" he says, catching the tail end of their words. "Hey, check this one out! It's like a bajillion different flavors all in one BURST!" and takes another loving lick of his new gift.

Keyes expression had been one of utter bliss, fading in and out of simply laying there limp and moving as the moment of bliss rocked through him. It took him several long moments to be able to even think again, especially when he could feel her powerful grasp continuing to tug, and grasp hold of him, as if she was continuing to try and milk more out of his trembling length as he laid there. With a soft little whimper flowing from his lips he looked at the skunk that was nestling against his chest. Hearing the hammering of his chest from that moment, and feeling the quickened breathe of his caressing her ears as she laid there. "That was....amazing....Though I don't know how to feel...about not being a virgin...anymore..." He admits, his gaze shifting over to the plate of treats to the side of him for a moment before he picks up a sugary, cream treat and offers it to her lips.. "You seemed to have enjoyed yourself quite a bit too..." He said with a small smile, his fingers stroking through her fur as his fingertips begin to massage her scalp and ears softly. Unaware to his own senses, from the table, and around them there would no doubt be a strong scent of their act spreading. Pheremones, lust, and so many naughty little images passing onto those that catch a tingle of what might of been happening nearby.

Ms. Candystripe, as she called herself, produces a plate of cookies she stashed away and places it on the armrest of Santa's seat. "Keep your energy up, sir! Only a few more days until the big one!" Then, a rambunctious rabbit runs up to her with a veritable staff of sugar in his hands. "Ooh... someone's been GOOD this year!" She says, marveling at the carmelized dental cataclysm waiting to happen. "I can tell right away that this is grade-A prime candy!" she ruffles the fur between his ears. "Perfect for a good little bunny like you." While the rabbit is distracted by headpats, she turns to Bleu and whispers, "I told you I went out to change," winking at him for good measure.

Zivadin munching on the treat he offered her. the sound of his heart was almost hypnotic laying there in this bliss she pulles more snack into there make shift little nest. "god that was good are you sure you where a Virgin? we gota to that more often i think this will the the start of a beautiful "friendship" she blushes looking into his eyes

"Of course I know, dear girl," Santa laughs, "But I need tour declaration. It is part of the contract." He gives the dragon girl a friendly squeeze and a peck on the cheek before waving her on to his new assistant to recieve her gift. Then he opens his arms to recieve Bleu, the next person in line. Only momentarily distracted by the plate of cookies Candystripe has given him. He quickly chomps down a cookie with a happy sigh. "Gonna need some milk with these," he rumbles happily.

Doctor Thomas lights up at Euoia's question, leaving his food ineaten and his water untouched. "Ah! You are asking the wrong question!" he says, "What you should be asking is what CAN'T we accomplish with this new field of nanite research! Medicine, sure, food, sure, but there is so much more! Do you realize that this nanite driven apocalypse has pushed us beyond many limits we thought absolute?" He is wuite distracted by his own enthusiasm, leaving Euoia to watch and listen.

Euoia nods and keeps hir attention firmly on what Doctor Thomas is saying. Occasionally sie chimes in, mostly to show hir comprehension of what the doctor is talking about. Sie tries to make a little roofie from nanomagic. Then when the time is right sie puts the roofie in the water.

Leighton hops off Fenris' lap and approaches the cute elf with an expectant look, but not before giving Santa a little kiss on the cheek as well. "Sooooo...watcha got for me?" The dragon girl lets out a little giggle at everyone doing Santa for adults, including herself.

Bleu hops up to Fenris...I mean, Santa, and awkwardly settles on his lap. "Well, hello Santa! I've been *very* good! I got most everything I want already... But how about a ball gag, and maybe a gimp suit?" Is he being serious?

Jojo nods his head in agreeance and takes a step off to the side near the elf while Bleu goes off to Santa themselves! This whole event just made him feel so joyous inside and it showed with each happy bounce he took. Being called a good rabbit makes his tail wiggle with delight! What a great event this was turning to be!

Keyes heartbeat slowly began to slow, the quickened melody of a hammer soothing to a more gentle, relaxing tune. Even if her grasp on him kept it quickening every once in awhile when she tightened on him, stopping him from completely surrendering to the embrace of it. Chuckling softly he peeked up another one of the treats and offered it to her lips again. Continuing to softly pamper her head and pet her ears. "I certainly wouldn't mind doing it again....though I wouldn't be surprised if you suddenly pounced me on the street with how much you got into it." He teased. Giving her tail a squeeze and a tickle as he listened to the goings on outside of the table they were nestled under. "Aren't you wanting to go see this santa paws for a present? I'm not exactly a employee here so I'm....pretty sure I'll be detained if I went out there. But you're going to miss out on a free gift if you don't go yourself."

Raspberry Candystripe, who is most certainly an elf, salutes to Santa and does an about-face to bend over into the bag. She's bent over fully frontwards, one leg kicked up as she leans into the big bundle of gifts, seemingly not caring that her stockings and skirt give no semblence of decency. She rocks her hips as she roots around for a suitable suit for the scaly satyric draconic mutant. "Ah, this should go well with your scales." She presents a gift box with a top only loosely held on by ribbons and hands it to Leighton. Next, she bends over into the bag once more and pulls out a... why is there a glass of milk in that bag? How did it not spill? So many questions for which 'the magic of Christmas' is the simplest answer. She passes it to Santa. As she's waiting for the next request, she leans in to Kris Kringle's ear and whispers well in earshot of the kinky kangaroo. "Just hearsay, sir, but word among us elves is that he got an elf drunk and seduced him. They're terribly in love now. Again, just word among the elven community. This one may be naughty..." Then the actual request comes in. "Definitely naughty. My kind of naughty."

Zivadin she takes a bite and offers him a treat in return. she chuckles "neither am i do you think they would still gives one? we should definitely stick together we are both the newbies here safety in numbers and so we can do that more often" she nuzzles him softly "we can join the party if you want or we can stay here you still have one more first i can take" she rubs her tail hole againt his member and grins

The elevators door opens up, from which a well dressed husky comes out, closing one the buttons on the cuff of his left sleeve, before he looks around the lobby. He raises an eyebrow, before moving closer to the table and picking a few snacks, waiting a bit to see what is going on in the place.

Santa takes the glass of milk and downs it with a coo of delight, chasing it down with another cookie. He considers his elf assistant's words and considers the roo in his lap. "Hmm," he says, "I see. Then I will have to trust Ms. Candystripe to see that you are suitably rewarded." He laughs and gives the roo a big, fluffy hug. "Happy Christmas! Even if you are naughty!"

Doctor Thomas seems to be immensely enjoying his chance to rhapsodize over nanites and nanotech. Stopping only briefly to wet his whistle and take a few bites of melon.

Euoia continues and actually is enjoying the discourse. Sie points some of hir questions to related fields of study and tries to learn more. Sie then makes a joke about how nanomagic and currently learned technology could help someone like, oh, Good old saint nick since there are quite a few mystical dedications out there.

Leighton smiles at the elf. "Thank you very much. With that she walks back over to her spot, remembering to put the plate out of the way before sitting down and putting her gift in her lap. She peeks into the box and rummages through it, inspecting the various articles of clothing inside, eventually coming to a very classy dress that gets a little squeal out of her.

Bleu kisses 'Santa' quite passionately, with plenty of tongue. He's naughty, all right, frenching Santa in public. If his kids were here, they'd be singing that they "saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus," and serming to enjoy it. After more than a minute passes, the amorous kangaroo pulls away. "Merry Christmas, Stud Muffin..." He bats his eyes, then hops down, and over to the elf, looking for his gimp suit and ball gag.

Jojo takes his treat back over to the main buffet table with more of the gathering people, looking quite cartoonish with his oversized treat he adored so much! The whole thing obscures his head as he makes his way, and he peeks around to the spiffy husky at the serving tables. "Hey there! Man, this event is pretty stellar! You should go up and say hi to that big guy over there! I'm sure he can find you something pretty sweet too!" and gives his lolipop a little shake. Eventually he drifts over to the table Keyes and Zivadin are sitting at, pointing at the treat they were partaking in. "Oooh! You've got really great taste, that one is one of my favorites! Well.. they're all my favorites really! But that one is really great! Name's Jojo!"

Keyes fingers brushed through Zivadin's fur, smiling at her as he began to part his lips to reply, only to suddenly let out a gasp, body shaking and his back arching as his fingers started to claw at his body as a strange heat began to flow over him. And right before Ziavdin's eyes he began to change, where skin once was fur began to appear, covering his body in the same dark shine that the body laid against him had, odd, chrimstas fabrics wrapped around his fingers as the tips flowed out into claws. A creak echoed out from his lips as his face extended, twisting and growing into that of a skunk, yet, with a slightly feminine feature to him. Even the malehood that was teasing Zivadin's rear as she had offered to take him with another one of her holes changed that into that of a skunks as he shook. But it wasn't finished yet, as a large, bushy tail, flowed out from behind him, between Zivadin's legs, brushing against her thighs as his body went through a complete transformation. Gasping with his eyes looking misty and confused, the once human, and now christmas skunked boy laid before her eyes. Though now that his new tail had grown out anyone that passed the tail would see the large limb laid out from under the sheets. Even if the rest of him was still covered up. Well, that was until one walked right up to them. The same person witnessing the sudden transformation as Keyes misty eyes glanced over to Kojo. "Errr....Keyes? What..happened?"

Ms. Candystripe bends over unnecessarily far forward once more, clearly intent on showing her rear to the roo as she takes her sweet time to pull out his present. Once again, a gift box is given. She *again* bends at the hips to hand it to the kangaroo, giving him a view of her complete cleavage. "Save some for Santa's little helper, you naughty, naughty boy." She playfully prods. Kissing Santa on the lips? The scandal of it! She revels in the squeal of satisfaction that comes from Leighton, then goes wide-eyed as a second skunk tail appears from beneath the snack table. "Uh oh."

Zivadin she watches her handsome human transforming before her eyes as she watches become a skunk she immediately knows its her fault she wraps her arms around him as he shift. tears immediately start streaming down her face as she sobs into him "im sorry im so sorry no i didn't know this would happen" she breaks down into tears

Tiago nods to the mutant that approached him, before finishing the snack he had picked and moving closer to the area where Santa is, looking around to see if there is anyone waiting for their turn. Not seeing anyone at the moment, he approaches him as Bleu jumps off. "Hey uh... This is my first time doing something like this, so... How does it work?"

Santa's eyes bulge at the surprise kiss, but he does his best to reciprocate. After all, there must be mistletoe around here somewhere. The burly tanuki is a good kisser, and his soft beard and scent of milk and cookies only add to the experience. He blinks stupidly for a second after Bleu disengages, then shakes his head and fortifies himself with some more milk and cookies before inviting the next person in line into his lap. That shouldn't set any sort of precident, right?

"Right?" Doctor Thomas says to Euoia's comments, "Nanotech makes magic into science! Just look at all the supernaturals out there!" He puts "Supernatural" in air quotes and is obviously getting a bit loopy. "Ha! With the power of nanites, we can even exceed these so-called gods! Isn't it amazing?" He goes to take another drink, only to find his water empty.

Santa wipes a bit of milk from his lips with the back of his hands and grins at Tiago. "Well first," he chuckles, "You come sit on Santa's lap, and tell me if you have been naughty or nice, then you tell me what gift you would like for Christmas.

Out in the hall, a small band has started to play dance versions of old Christmas songs and a small dance floor has opened up while waiters bearing food and drink of all sorts continue to circulate. Most people have not noticed the drama under the buffet yet.

Euoia smiles and thinks for a little. "How about we go meet santa then? At least before he runs out of good normal presents. It would prolly be easier now that everyone else is preoccupied." Sie finished off what was on hir plate and waited to see the doctor's reaction.

Bleu tears into his present, and his face lights up! "My, I should put it on now!" In the meantime, though, the kangaroo pulls a Santa hat out of his pouch, and puts it on his head. As he hops back over toward Jojo, the 'roo's feet get tangled up in the new skunk tail, and he trips, landing with a *thud*. "What the heck?"

Jojo is just about to tilt down to investigate further when he notices Bleu approaching from behind him, and turns to meet them! Though he suddenly lurches forward over the sudden presence of his tail forward, making Jojo stop short of his friend! "Ai! Are you alright?" and extends him a hand back to their feet. "Nanites.." he chuckles.

Keyes fingers lightly stroked the teary eyed skunk as he looked down at himself, noticing the changes about himself - he knew he should of been panicking in that moment..but he had spent the entire day before prepared for /something/ to change, he felt more....numb to it. Though with zivadin pressing her face into his new found breasts he realized that he had changed much more than he first realized. The odd thoughts that were starting to tickle against his mind...that made his shaft twitch and quiver also felt out of place. "Its alright...you obviously didn't know, Richard said it should be fine as you weren't infectious as well...remember? I just wasn't expecting any changes I had to be so....complete?" Sitting up, with one arm lightly resting around the skunk that was crying he attempted to calm her down as he considered his options. Taking one of the candies that Jojo was telling was pretty good and taking it into his mouth to try and help him think straight. "Mhmm...I have a idea. Why don't we see santa? See if he can help...and if he can't, perhaps Richard might have - Gah!" Something just landed on his new tail! A new sensation he hadn't been expecting shot up his spine, making him lean out of his spot to look up at the Roo that was laid on top of his tail, as well as caught in Jojo#s tail. "Could you...erm...get off the tail? I /just/ stopped being human a second ago and it feels very, very weird to have you on top of it." Thankfully bleu was caught before they landed on top of him and Ziv.

The helpful little elfess decides she's best put to work elsewhere. Uh oh indeed. "Emergency by the snack table," she hurriedly says to Santa, "I'll handle it." With that, she rushes off, helps the roo to his big funny feet, and peeks under the tablecloth. It's as bad as she feared. "Keyes?!" She whispers. She knew it is, but she had to ask. "Shit. Shit shit shit... Ziv, don't cry! I can- It's me! Richard! I can fix this, just stay calm, and we'll go shopping later to get the details sorted out." She produces a few vials from an interface on her comms unit and hands them to Skun-Keyes. All of them are labeled 'Gen. Sup. Human.' "Here. These are what the nanite plague was supposed to make. Humans with a few improvements. It's..." she bites her lip in anxiety over how to phrase the next few words. "...This specific infection isn't completely male. RSX sells a kit that can get you back to full manhood. W-we can get that later." She stares at the floor, a mixture of emotions, mostly frustration, upon her face. "Dammit. I thought you could nativize as human. Dammit!"

Zivadin still holding him with her head burried into his shoulder still crying "i sorry so sorry i took your humanity from you im a monster...." tears still dripping down her face " "please dont hate me..."she is trembling. she hates her self they were right she is just a feral how could she do this to him

Tiago nods, then sits on Santa's lap, trying not to put weight on the tanuki's leg. As he is about to start speaking, the elf runs off towards the table. "Oh... That doesn't sound good at all..." He says, before clearing his throat. "Well, I guess we continue anyway, then? I have been a nice husky this past year, even if some of my clients will swear I have been a naughty, naughty boy."

The good doctor seems a little fuzzy, not physically, but mentally. "No," he shakes his head, "That's kid stuff. Besides, I'm a lead researcher around here. I don't need a cheap gift from corporate."

Santa welcomes Tiago into his lap and laughs at his statement. "That is about eighty percent of what I hear anymore," he says, "And what would you like for Christmas?" His eyes dart over to the drama at the snack table and wander to where Euoia is working the doctor. Looks like Santa is paying attention to the room, even if most of the room is not paying much attention to him.

Euoia thinks on hir feet as best as sie can. "We can always ask him what kind of nano-space enfolder he uses. We might be able to talk him into a zephyr approved upgrade. heck, we might even be able to suggest a thing or two for other nanite products." Sie continues with suggesting some nanomagic Doctor Thomas might find interesting. "Also, I kinda want to get a look at his nanite structure."

Richard stays under the table and with the two skunks, consoling them and coaching Keyes on how to use the nanite vials. She pays special attention to the sobbing skunkess, who seems to be taking this worse than the former man across from her. When they're ready, she brings them out of the room to speak with them privately... and gives her skirt a swish as she walks back past Bleu.
