08: Video/text: I like that ring, too.

[omar]

So let me just make sure I got this straight: long as it ain't dangerous or nothing, we can ask the Admiral for just about anything for the holidays? For our people, I mean.

'Cause if so, I think Santa gonna be visiting some of y'all.

[Private to the Admiral, text]

What's going on up there? I got a few deliveries I'd like you to make for me.

Leslie Knope: Get that warden a real nice waffle iron. And an electric toothbrush.

Bruce Wayne and Jason Todd: Need better watches. Something with diamonds. The kind that opens up, so they can put something away under the dial.

Selina Kyle: A pair of earrings and a locket... cat theme, same Special Features.

Anya Lehnsherr: Girl deserves something pretty, so let's get her a ring.

Merlin: Him, too.

Duo Maxwell: Can get a fruit basket, I suppose.

Ladd Russo: Coal, please.

Appreciate it. If you could see the way clear to bringing a few more young gentlemen on board, that'd be real helpful to my graduation progress, too.

Are you sure he'll listen to people like us?

[omar]

Worth a shot, I suppose.

[silvestris]

Let me know if he lends an ear.

[omar]

Oh, I think you'll find out 'fore I do.

[silvestris]

[...Oh. She's touched, and guilty, and touched. And more guilt.

It brings out that mousy secretary she likes to think died more than a month ago.]

Christmas is kind of a hard--a tricky--season....

You're asking for me? I mean, partly for me?

[omar]

That was the plan, anyway.

[silvestris]

[...She doesn't know what to say. :c ]

Thanks. Even if he blows us off for being inmates- thanks.

[omar]

Ain't no thing, baby.

[silvestris]

I'll have to take it out on the Admiral if he ignores your request, you know.

[omar]

Maybe he got the spirit as much as the rest of us.

[silvestris]

[Stop being so endearing, Omar. Makes it hard to be a badass.] Amazing what a little tinsel and poisonous plants will do, hm?

private; video - couldn't resist

[theonlyresponse]

You mean ask Santa.

[omar]

I do?

[theonlyresponse]

Santa gives out presents, not the Admiral.

[omar]

[To a normal Omar, this would be pretty objectionable, but:] Fair enough.

[theonlyresponse]

Merry Christmas, my friend.

[omar]

You too, bro. Think you'll enjoy what Santa got for you.

[theonlyresponse]

I think you will, too.

Private.

[crossestheline]

Speaking of goodies, I have something of yours that needs returning.

Private.

[omar]

[Why does everyone insist on doing stuff like this on the phone akfljsa] Don't know what you mean, bro. Think you mighta hit the wrong name on your list, there.

But eyyo, J, you up for a game tonight? Was thinking of trying that pool table again.

Private.

[crossestheline]

[Because Jay is in an excellent mood and thinks he is being clever.]

Pool? Count me in. It's been awhile since I've played, but I'm still game. Who else is going to be there?

Private.

[omar]

Two person game, ain't it?

Private.

[crossestheline]

It is. I was just thinkin' we could make a party out of it. [Responds cheerfully.] After we play a game between ourselves, that is.

Private.

[omar]

Oh? Who else you want to play with?

Private.

[crossestheline]

Bruce and Selina are the two that come to mind.

Private.

[omar]

[...interesting.] A'ight. Sound good.

Private.

[crossestheline]

Great, I'll pass the word along. What time do you want to get together at?

Private.

[omar]

Say about 9?
