Yang froze seeing the last guest walk in. Her eyes gave a "I am so dead" look.
Forsaken happily accepted the help up and smiled to Lizzie. "Yeah. We're cool," she offered as Todd pointed up.
It turned out that Yang wasn't the only one to wear a Mistletoe hat, Todd seemed to have a similar plan. "Mistletoe," he offered.
Ruby and Weiss looked to the door. Both started snickering at Bayo's arrival.

"Hm. I suppose the opportunity to socialize will present itself in due time," Roman muttered as if passive aggressively disappointed that he was being ignored. That said, the wolf pup made his way towards the kitchen. "For now, I shall take this opportunity to sample your snacks."
The ever-shy Alphys fully stepped inside, casually waving to the other partygoers and saying hello to anyone who greeted her, as she followed Undyne. She and Papyrus had sat down on opposite ends of the couch, surrounding a very openly confused Evelyn.
"Ah, hello there!" Alphys spoke up, recognizing Evelyn. "Good to see you again!"
"Um... Hi. Again?" Despite this, Evelyn most definitely didn't recognize her. Or her fellow monsters, for that matter.
"Oh...? O-Oh, right! You were... asleep at the time. Heheh..." Alphys awkwardly rubbed her hands, briefly looking away. "S-Sorry. I'm Alphys. I... I met your friend Erin while you were in the hospital."
"Ah. Gotcha." The weary rogue mustered up a smile and a nod. "Well... I'm Evelyn. Nice to, uh..." Really, it was getting hard for her to find a way to react to all of the guests, let alone react positively. She... kind of recognized Bayonetta, but she certainly wasn't blown away from her arrival, and seeing the others behave thusly was already starting to irk her. The tiny apartment was quickly starting to feel cramped, and something about the chaotic yet somehow simultaneously mellow atmosphere was rubbing her the wrong way.
A mere five minutes in and already Evelyn wanted some privacy.
And oh God... more mistletoe? IF SHE HAD TO SEE ANOTHER TWO PEOPLE SUCK FACE UNDER THAT GOD FORSAKEN WEED...

Asgore nodded. "He did indeed. Aaron, yes? A pleasure to meet you." The monster gave him a warm smile, offering a paw. Then, Bayonetta came in. He chuckled at Alex's reaction. "Hmhm. She does tend to evoke that kind of reaction, no? Still, I likely would not have recovered this well were it not for those odd lollipops she gave me.
Bayonetta chuckled, brushing a bit of her hair from her face as she set the bags down, getting what looked like crackers and caviar out. "I have a tendency to run into kids. Frisk is quite unusual, though. If nothing else, they're certainly one of the more interesting children I've run across." With a chuckle, the witch looked over the guests. "My my. Seems we have quite the party here." She looked at Yang and the others a moment, a small smirk on her face as she went to relax in the main area. She had put on a rather nice-looking Christmas dress for the occasion, much like the one she'd worn before her second adventure. Eventually, she went towards the couch, sitting beside Undyne.

Meanwhile, as all this went on…
“C'mon.”
“No.”
“C'moooooon.”
“No!”
Jordan had to resist the urge to rub his temples in frustration. This had been going on for a while now. Meanwhile the skeleton with the constant grin leaned against the railing as casually as possible.
“What, you're just gonna spy on 'em the whole time?” He tsked. “Rude.”
“I don't work well with crowds,” Jordan countered, looking across the way—the tall lady with the heels looked familiar.
“Sounds like an excuse.”
“Coming from a skeleton who makes every excuse to get out of work.”
Sans shrugged. “I'd deny it if it wasn't true.”
Part of Jordan wondered just which of the many deities he had apparently angered decided he should have to put up with this guy, on this rooftop across from the building where the party was happening. All he knew was that he and Jacob should never meet.
The puns would be his downfall.
Well, dammit, now he was thinking it…
“Anyway, I'd bet they'd love to see you.”
“Somehow, I doubt that,” Jordan replied.
Sans raised a nonexistent brow. “What, bad blood?”
“Something like that. I don't want to talk about it.” Far more complicated than that, actually. And okay, maaaybe it was a bit of an exaggeration on his end. Still. Couldn't help but think there was some resentment on the other's part, even if they claimed otherwise or didn't show it.
Sometimes Jacob called Jordan paranoid. Hard to blame him.
“C'mon, you can tell me.”
“No.”
“C'mooon.”
“Oh, don't start that again!”

Undyne looked to the woman, grinning widely. "Oh hey~!! It's you again!" The expression Undyne had definitely looked like one of admiration. "Miss badass bitch herself~!!! Didn't think you'd show up!" With a laugh, the fish woman stretched on the couch as Bayonetta joined her. "So, Mr. Void thief! What's the word on what all's going on here?"
Alex looked quite stunned at the arrival of Bayonetta, but managed to recover a second later. "Well... I figured since we're all protecting the island together, it'd be smart if we all just had a moment to sit back and converse. Get to know each other more and bond. Christmas seemed ideal for that..." He smiled as he looked amongst everyone present. "I'm glad to see so many people here after hearing my invitation."
"Well of course!" Frisk answered energetically. "I can't think of a single person that dislikes Christmas!" ... The child takes notice of poor dejected Roman and can't help but rush over and give the wolf cub a pet on the head. "Awww, don't worry, it's okay~. Remember, this isn't the Underground. No-one's heard of you yet that's all."
Red meanwhile looked quite giddy as she looked around. "I'm excited a lot myself. This would be my first time spending Christmas with my new friends~!" The doll looked to Undyne, the fish woman saluting her. Red couldn't help but salute back. "Plus, I love this house, it's so cozy~."
As Red talked, Undyne grinned as she turned to Alex, the thief of void lightly turning red at the compliment. "So HEY! Al! Speaking of Christmas and shit... Are we getting anything~??"
Frisk couldn't help but sweatdrop at the rather blunt question. Prishe did the same as well. "Well uh.. Undyne..." The Elvaan stated, sitting on the arm of the couch. "I mean. We haven't really known these guys all that long, so I don't think us getting presents would be-"
"Actually you do."
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Undyne suddenly looked so stoked.
"Through the experiences of myself and the rest of my pals with each of you, Yang, Ruby, Weiss and myself was able to pick up a few gifts for each one of you. Think of them like a thank you for helping us out and a wish of good luck. Both on your own journeys and any other journeys that we may share together in the future."
"SUH-WEEEEEEET~!!!!"
As Undyne continued cheering, Erin looked to Eevee, noting the slightly frustrated expression of the girl in question... "Hey..." she whispered. "You okay? If you need to rest or anything, My room's upstairs.. Just tell me so, if that's what you need, okay?"

Ray happily gave him a kiss, Ryan chuckling as her leg lifted up behind her. As he chuckled, his eyes grew focused, the young man staring at the door. "So you feel it too," Ray offered to him, looking at the door as well. Ryan walked over to it, opening the door and looking outside- Right in Jordan's direction.
It was his luck that he couldn't see jack, however, so he considered the signal he got a false alarm. He closed the door, looking at Forsaken. "Wanna see if there's any fun and games at this party?" he asked her, bending slightly as he offered a hand. Ray smiled, hugging Todd as she spun a bit, happily giggling away.
"WHAT??? GIVING CHRISTMAS PRESENTS TO TOTAL STRANGERS??? I THOUGHT ONLY SANTA CLAUSE COULD DO THAT!!!" he happily proclaimed, Mario bouncing up and down.
"Eh, I don't-a need a present- I got all the presents I could want a little while ago," he cheered. It wasn't long before he noticed the sad pup, walking his way over to him and waving.

Forsaken nodded a small drone stole Todd's hat. "Sounds like fun," she offered as she went onto her tip toes to let her forehead touch his.
Ruby wandered away and towards Frisk and Roman. "Hello. I'm Ruby," she offered to the pair. The huntress in training gave a small nod to Red.
Todd happily pulled Ray close. "You're the brightest bond in the room for me," he offered.
Yang removed her hat and put it with her jacket before going to mingle. "Some people do it just because they can, Papyrus," the blonde offered as she went to sit with Undyne and Papyrus.
Weiss quietly observed the event.

"Hm. No matter," Roman casually replied, nibbling on some chips. "The night is young, and so am I. My time to make my presence known will come."
He gave a nod to Frisk, then to Mario. Then he looked up as Ruby approached them, smiling and standing as tall as the little wolf pup could manage. "Good evening, Miss Ruby. Pleasure to make your acquaintance."
"Aww... That was very thoughtful of you!" Alphys mused in response to the news that there would be gifts. "Oh... N-Now I feel bad for not bringing anything... Shoot..."
Evelyn tried and failed to suppress a small groan, looking away from Todd and the others. She gazed at Erin out of the corner of her eye, disgust giving way to sadness. She wanted to be happy... It was just so hard given the circumstances. Chances were high that she would need an escape before long. "Y-Yeah... Thanks..."

Asgore merely smiled a bit at Papyrus' comment about Santa. "Indeed. There's nothing wrong with getting to know each other, right?"
Bayonetta chuckled. "Of course. And there really is nothing quite like a Christmas party. And of course, my dear Undyne. I simply couldn't miss this party."

At that moment, there came several knocks at the door.
"Sans, for the love of all that is holy let me go right now--"
The door burst open. Sans strolled in as casual as usual, dragging a very disgruntled Jordan in by the collar.
"Heeeeeeeey, everybody. I brought my plus one."
"There are no words for how much I hate you right now," Jordan muttered.

Alex chuckled as the group continued talking amongst themselves. He was a little disappointed to see Eevee seeming ready to break away from this bunch and go elsewhere... But perhaps he should have been expecting it. After all, Erin had told him all about what had occurred to her before... That was a lot for anyone to swallow. Still... There was nothing he could do to help her any faster. That was just something she needed to work through at her own pace.
Lizzie meanwhile smiled as Forsaken and Ryan quickly started getting along, two lost souls joined together. Sure it was in some replacement to the ones they lost, but it was at least a friendship that could help strengthen them. "You guys want games~? Well don't worry! We can get some plugged in so we can all enjoy! Hey Aleeeeex!!" The Thief of Void turned to her. "Did you move the game systems down here??"
"Of course! Just check the Entertainment Center there!" He said with a chuckle. "And as for the rest of you? Food and refreshments await in the dining room! So come in and help yourself at your own leisure! I even remembered the monster food for you Papyrus!"
"Okay got it!" Frisk responded back looking a bit eager for how this was all going to go. "Thank you!"
Undyne grinned as Bayonetta responded. "I know what ya mean there~!! A party just isn't a party until the life of it shows up!!" She notices Lizzie going up to the TV and pushing a few buttons. After a few minutes, a start-up screen for the Wii-U started up. "Huh... What's the hell's that?"
"We'll show you~!"
----------------------
As the sounds of gaming followed in the other room, Alex was pulled into another room by Prishe, the Elvaan looking Alex over warily. Alex meanwhile looked at the young woman, unsure. He MORE then recognized the character standing before him. She used to be an old favorite of his, a fist fighter and a fairly powerful one at that. "Did you want something? I mean, I can surmise you do with the whole pulling me aside thing but-"
"Okay firstly, you can can the whole neighborly act." Alex stopped, somewhat unsure. "And maybe you can start addressing me as you used to know me back when."
"..... Used to-?"
"Oh come on Alex. You should know who I am! We fought in that big ole war together all that time ago! With all the time-looping BS and whatever. And all of those other warriors from other worlds."
..................... ?
"... You really don't remember me-?"
"... I don't think we've EVER met if I had to be honest..." The Thief of Void rubbed his temples as he gave the woman an odd look. "I think if I got involved in a war on some sort of far away planet I would've perhaps remembered it. I was a little busy with other things at the time."
-------------------------
It had taken a number of hours to finally wear down their current leader enough to come along, but when they did, Aquamarine was definitely a very happy gem. Thankfully, finding the place had been a simple enough chore thanks to Garnet's future vision, it helped that Aquamarine had a map and at least knew the address to the place itself.
And when they found themselves at the apartment?
"Hmmm... Kinda reminds me of a few flats we looked over back in London eh, Bloody?" Aquamarine grinned to her friend as she put away the map. "And it looks like a lotta people have gotten here already~." Pretty decently sized crowd too-. OH WAIT Was that video game sounds coming from inside??? "Sounds like it's fun times in there~! We got here just in time!"

Paper Mario happily jumped, smiling big. "A pleasure to meet you!"
Ryan, Meanwhile, stared wide eyed as Sans opened the door. "Sans? JORDAN?!" He happily smiled, Soon getting bumped by an elated Papyrus.
"SANS! YOU MADE IT!" he happily cheered, approaching his smaller brother. "THIS PLACE HAS EVERYTHING! AN AWESOME BUFFET, WONDERFUL FRIENDS NEARLY AS GREAT AS I-"
"Hey, Papyrus, you almost hit my eye," Ryan pouted, rubbing at it.
"OH, I'M SO SORRY, HUMAN! I DIDN'T MEAN TO-"
"Next time I'll socket to ya," he winked, having the biggest grin. Ray started laughing her butt off, the mix of snickers and groans letting Ryan know he did something right.
Papyrus gave an irritated growl, walking off in a hurry. "Hey, where's your funny bone man?" he asked.
Ray kept snickering, giving Todd another smooch.
(next time- gaming hour.)

Yang chuckled as she heard the puns. Distinctly she could hear Ruby letting her hand meet her face. "Already starting the pun-ishment there Curly?" Yang asked as she walked over to the group.
"You two wanna come play games with the rest of us or do you want to watch my sister make a fool of hersel?" Ruby asked Roman and Frisk.
Forsaken sighed and went to sit with Evelyn. The older of the pair offered her a small rectangular shaped parcel. The tag simply read "Congrats on making it another year. You're doing great. Happy Birthday, Eve." in black ink.
Todd chuckled before sighing. "And I pity the ones up against Yang," he whispered in Ray's ear.

Roman smiled, nodded and snatched a few potato chips. "Games, you say? Sounds like a worthwhile endeavor!"
Evelyn groaned and flopped back in her seat, very visibly rolling her eyes at the jokes going around. Truth be told, though, that wasn't what was irritating her. ...Okay, it was. A little. But even more so, she was just frustrated seeing everyone so happy while, try as she might, she just could bring herself to it. Of course she wouldn't wish misery on any of her friends, or their friends for that matter. She just... couldn't connect. She just wasn't in the mood to be happy...
She sighed at the ceiling. This party was not going well. Almost made her want to die all over again.
When Forsaken sat down next to her, Evelyn feigned a smile, only to sit up straight and stare blankly at the package she was handing her, hesitantly accepting it with shaky fingers. "W-What-What's this...?"
As the proceedings went on, no one seemed to notice a pair of ghostly eyes watching them through the ceiling, phasing back through and out of sight before anyone could.

Inside the apartment, Bayonetta had adjusted her position slightly, having gotten herself a glass of wine poured from the bottle that was in the packages that Asgore had brought with. "My my... what's this game? Super Smash Bros? That sounds like my kind of fun~"
The witch smirked as the game fired up. "Hmm? Well now..." She almost laughed as the roster came up. "I'm in this game? I dare say that whoever designed this roster has good taste."
Asgore chuckled, sitting down nearby. "My hands might be a bit big for these controllers... but I'll give it a shot anyway."
___________
Meanwhile, on the outside, Bloodstone laughed, nodding. "Yeah, it does. Pretty swanky joint, I gotta say. Sounds like they're having a good time in there already. Let's go~" The green-skinned Gem opened the door, gesturing to the other two. "After you, ladies~"
