Dealing with a particularly stressful day at the restaurant led to an unexpected surprise for the girl, everything around her had froze. Plates about to crash in mid-air, her manager yelling suddenly quiet and still as stone -- it was the strangest thing she had ever witnessed. While she had experienced something vaguely similar in the past, it had never lasted this long. Six minutes of her panicking passed before everything resumed as if nothing had happened. Feeling faint, she haggled with her boss to have the rest of the day off so that she could be there earlier tomorrow and more alert. Once she stepped through the front door of her grandmother’s house -- her house, she immediately began calling out for her older sister. “Prue!” She needed to confide in someone, even if there was a good chance Prue would find her insane.

asami’s first thought after hearing about secret santa was to go the easy route and give her person a car from her company. after all who wouldn’t want a car? and a brand new model? still, she held herself back, figuring that may come off as showing off. despite that decision she kept a set of key in her back pocket as she went to find prue, just as a backup in case the real present she picked out wasn’t appreciated. she had kept it fairly simple, including several different sweaters and a new pair of mittens. in addition there were a few assorted history books. she had been able to figure out that prue was a curator, and though she wasn’t sure what sort of history she would have liked asami was sure at least one of the books she got would be good. and well, if it wasn’t she could always go with the car. “prue! sorry for just coming at you from out of the blue but here. happy holidays.” asami said, handing over the present.
