[ Instead of a welcome message, there's just muffled noises as Hunter tries and fails to get his comm to do what he wants it to do. ]

[apuckalypse]

[He's getting the best of 'em. Big hug. Today started so strong, and he doesn't want this to ruin the day entirely. It's still Christmas, after all.]

Got a preference? I'll keep an eye on my relic, let you know as soon as we can get things moving with whatever this is. The rest is your pick. Whatever's gonna cheer you up.

[pyrighteous]

[ It SURE is. And this, while unpleasant, doesn't have to be resolved today. ]

Are there human movies that are specific to this holiday?

[apuckalypse]

[Plenty more days for this. And Casey is well used to this sort of thing not being resolved quickly. In his world they worked twenty years and never found a cure for Krang infections. This seems like a much simplier problem to solve.]

I watched some Christmas movies with Rue, so I know about some of them. There's still lots I haven't watched. We can look them up and see if they're any good.

[pyrighteous]

Then - one of those? I think that'd be nice.

[ Hunter winds up bumping Casey's shoulder gently. ]

[apuckalypse]

[Casey bumps back with a soft smile, coaxing him back over to the couch, which he nudges into place and gestures for Hunter to sit again.]

I'll get rid of these [he gestures towards the jars, out of sight, out of mind!] and get a movie going, so just get comfy. You took care of me, now it's my turn.

[pyrighteous]

... All right. I - um - I really appreciate it, Casey.

[ The words sound hollow in his ears, but the sentiment is true. He can't bear to look at either of the doom jars right now. ]

[apuckalypse]

I've got your back, don't even worry about it.

[Not hollow at all in Casey's mind. He disappears into his room for a moment to hide the doom jars, then to the kitchen for popcorn and fresh cocoa (the goo mug does go in the garbage and stays there), before putting on the dumbest, funniest Christmas movie he can find.

With that all done, he settles back onto the couch next to Hunter, and, if allowed, will pull his boyfriend against his side and hold him for a while, pet his hair, do whatever he can to help soothe the worries from what just happened. Surely it'll all be just fine.]

[pyrighteous]

[ Surely there won’t be any complications at all!

But for now, right now, it’s all safe. Hunter gladly cuddles up against his boyfriend and slowly relaxes as the movie continues. As the film goes on - and his questions about weird human culture die down - he winds up relaxing entirely, and then eventually falls asleep like that. ]
