[Snow or not, there's still stuff to do, so Kiara has to leave the house every now and then when the storm lightens a little. And you know what's an experience? Having to deal with inclement weather again. Yes, Chaldea was in Antarctica and all, but it's not like she really went outside much during all that. So this...well, it's a challenge.
Speaking of challenges, she's a bit...well not displeased so much as curious about coming home and finding another snowman in her yard, joining the others. She hasn't done anything with them, they're a mild if strange annoyance at best at this point. Still, she doesn't walk towards her doorstep just yet, standing on the sidewalk, looking at her yard and the others on her street.]
Strange, you would think you'd eventually see someone making them.
[There's some ridiculous levels of Presence Concealment at work here if you ask her. Or maybe something else entirely. She's not really sure, but she sees little reason to be concerned about it at this point.]
[B – Up On the Housetop 2, locked to Papyrus]
[Okay, she's not scared or anything, but finding the door blocked and looking out to see snowmen is still an unpleasant surprise. Not that she really has any business going outside if she doesn't have to with the weather being what it is, but still.]
Ah, Papyrus, if you have a moment.
[Kiara'll just call out to her “husband,” figuring he'll want to take a look at this. She's not entirely sure what to expect with this really, they're not breaking in like what she remembers from October, they're just...obstructing. So there's no thought that anyone here's in danger. So her tone is rather even about the unpleasant snowman surprise. For the time being, anyways.]
[C – Merry Christmas]
[Man it has been a rough couple weeks. So Kiara's a bit surprised when at the stroke of midnight everything just...stops. In her experience, awful isn't really set on a timer or disappears at the stroke of midnight, though she can't help but be a little relieved to look outside the window to see nothing terrible going on. No more snow corpses, no one being chased and fleeing for safety into the light. Nothing.
And while it's the middle of the night and cold, she'll step outside to take a look around. She's hardly worried about some sort of unfortunate surprise, still operating on the assumption that she doesn't have any sort of permanent consequences to worry about. Besides that, she figures she's not the only one who's going to step outside at this time.
But she won't get too far, stopping to inspect the box on her doorstep. There's presumably one for Papyrus too, but she doesn't care about that, instead opening hers, hoping it's what she asked for even if she doesn't really believe in such things. And instead of the book she asked for, it's this.]
Oh, this...well, I suppose they did try their best.
[Despite the subdued reaction, she's actually quite pleased with the gift. And on second thought, she'll wait until morning to check the neighborhood. So later that morning, after the sun's up, she'll be walking through the neighborhood, wanting to chat with any of the others, one, to pick their brains about recent events and two, she's admittedly curious if they received a gift as well.]
