Deck the Lab
The labrats, Tim included, loved the holidays. At least the ones where they were allowed to decorate. They had a ton of decorations and they took a day to decorate the lab. This year was no exception. The lab was decorated to the hilt. They had a fireplace, with a real fire, a recliner and a Christmas tree in the middle. They even had holographic projections to turn the lab into Santa's Workshop. Snow fell all around the lab and went from flakes directly to gas, not leaving any water anywhere.

They even had a remote controlled Santa with sleigh and reindeer flying around the lab. Once in awhile it would buzz close to someone's head and then zip away. All of the labrats wore santa hats or elf ears. Humorous Christmas songs played on the sound system.

Someone had even put some mistletoe over the main entrance to the lab.

	Aleks is no stranger to the lab, having to spend plenty of time under watch and being a guinea pig. Today, he was happy enough to volunteer to do a fair amount of the lifting and moving to help with the decorations, as long as he needed to be here anyway. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Alice was more than happy to help her cousin decorate. She was even in the spirit herself, and wore a hat with a sprig of mistletoe on it. "Need any help over there, handsome?" She asked Alice, grinning. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Some green with the usual red. Can see you're all set for the holiday. A couple extra hands wouldn't hurt, in any case." (Reply to this)(Parent)

	"Came to see what the tech guys pulled off this year? I like the fireplace they've got going. Wonder if they'd mind if we started some s'mores..." Santa hat acquired, she'd come to say hi to the friendly green giant. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Technically, I came to get the latest rounds of shots and blood tests, and they recruited me to move furniture. But I like what they've done with the place. I didn't realize you got so into Christmas." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lena laughed at that. "It's the tech labs, Tim's especially, that really go all out. Mine's decorated but...nothing on this level. I wonder if he has robot elves I could use...-anyway, how're you doing? Getting into the holiday spirit yet?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Its like a lot of holidays for me. My level of investment in it usually depends on who I'm with and around. But I do have one important holiday-related question for you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"So no favourite holidays on your list I guess. Oh? Shoot. And yes I do maintain that christmas cookies make an acceptable substitute to brunch. I've been needled about that enough." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"4th of July is always a huge deal around here, so I've gotten pretty used to the super-bbqs, but otherwise festively flexible. The more immediate question, though, is how you feel about mistletoe. Seeing as you just stepped under it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Huh, I could've sworn this one had been over there..." This better not be a remote controlled one. "Well it's a poisonous parasite and I detest studying plants, but other than that it's an interesting, and occasionally fun, but odd holiday tradition. Of course I'm all for holiday traditions right now," she smiled. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That certainly doesn't hurt my Christmas spirit any." he replies, reaching out to draw her in, a hand going to her lower back, leaning in to kiss her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-12-10 05:57 am UTC (link)
	She smiles and reaches up to bring him down a bit then kisses him. "Like I said, sometimes it's a fun tradition." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	heytheredelilah 2012-12-10 06:03 am UTC (link)
	"It is, but mostly just a good excuse to finally kiss you." He leans in to kiss her again, still reasonable for polite surroundings, but a little longer, at least. "That time I didn't need an excuse." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2012-12-10 06:12 am UTC (link)
	She laughs lightly at that and gives him a teasing nudge. "You could've just asked you know..." With another smile she kisses him back then moves back and puts an index finger to her lips. "Don't tell. I didn't need one either," she winks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	heytheredelilah 2012-12-10 06:32 am UTC (link)
	"Don't worry. It can be our secret." he agrees with a wink. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good at secrets, part of the job description here," she jokes then looks around thoughtfully. "Hmm, you've got half the colour scheme down but we need to get you a hat..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
