Merry Christmas '01

Despite the holiday setting, this is pretty much life as usual inside the little wooden shack in my mind where my muses live. You see...

As usual, Viktor is slightly drunk and goofily obnoxious.
As usual, Hardin is embarrassed half to death by the teasing from Viktor and Sydney.
As usual, Sydney is not only enjoying Hardin's discomfort, but encouraging it. (Lovingly, of course.)
As usual, James is in drag for no apparent reason whatsoever.
As usual, Laguna has no idea what he's doing - anyone who's tried to put lights on a tree after the ornaments knows that that's a bad idea.
As usual, Kain knows exactly who's responsible for the little prank that was played on him - and you do not mess with the dragoon's helm, Vik.
As usual, Joshua is oblivious to the whole lot of them while silently and cutely going about his business. ...Or does he just want them to think that?
