(Part 2) ...Right as Judas opened his mouth to answer, someone burst out from the guest room connected to the living room... “IT’S TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME!” Sampson, who was lacking a shirt besides the fact it was still super cold, sang out, “I DON’T WANT A LOT FOR CHRISTMAS, THERE IS JUST ONE THING I NEED, AND IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII DON’T CARE ABOUT THE PRESENTS, UNDERNEATH THE CHRISTMAS TRE-” Eve pressed Samson's lips shut, used her other hand to press a finger against hers (to signal silence), and afterwards, patted his head. Bethany followed shortly after, carrying the book she had been reading from the night before tightly under her arm. “Hey everyone, what’s all the commotion about?” She asked, to which Judas responded, “I was just about to get to that, and speaking of ‘presents under the Christmas tree,’ well… there are none, as in there are literally no presents underneath the tree. So my question to you all now is… DID ANYONE GET PRESENTS?” “I thought my presence was the present” Sampson pointed to himself like some kind of anime protagonist. “A-actually sampson, that was you agreeing with yourself some time after 2AM.” “Ohh, well… uhh…” The group of friends looked at each other, none of them having any clear indication of a real answer, all except one… With the grin of a super mastermind, Cain lightly elbowed the suddenly reappearing Apollyon, “watch this!” he quietly said to him, dramatically inhaling to puff his chest, and loudly announced, “ACTUALLY,” he paused for a moment, clearing his throat with a boom to guarantee he had everyone's attention, “I DID NOT FORGET TO GIVE EVERYONE PRESENTS!” All eyes quickly turned to him as he began to look through the rather large santa hat he had been wearing since yesterday, pulling out thirteen scratch off lottery tickets, passing the whole hand of them to Eve as she reached out to inspect them. “Boom! Millionaires by New Year's Day!” “DUMBAHH! These are five dollar tickets, no millionaire is made from something that cost less than a Big Mac" Eve complained, passing the tickets to Judas, who had also wanted to see them. “Yeah, at most you’d get like $100 out of these… Also, how did you even get these? I know your broke ahh didn’t have the money to buy them.” Judas questioned, passing the remaining lottery tickets to Lilith as he pocketed five of them. After taking a small look at them, she hugged Cain, her following words coming out with a sugary flow, “Aww, I think it’s sweet, it was actually pretty considerate of Cain to remember to get us all gifts even if… most of us aren’t really going to use them, and the legality of how these were obtained is questionable… what really matters is that he got all of us something, so say it with me now…” Giving him his space, she began waving her hands like those of a maestro, guiding everyone in the room with the unisonal saying of “Thank you!” “Your. Welcome.” he accepted, a slight hint of genuine warmth behind the usual mean spirited root of his words. But as the whole ordeal had finally had its time in the air, the gravity of the situation settled, and almost everyone began to have the same look of slow drawn worry you’d get from a doctor's appointment or a tax audit. What will they do now? Find out next time in PART 3!
