There's a sign at the lobby stating that the winter holiday party for the imports is in one of the back rooms.

Wander convinced the rest of the staff to let him take some leftover bagels and other snack foods from the guest breakfast, and there's a small table in the middle of the room with the food.

Closed to Belloq

For most of the get-together, Wander is distracted by everyone else and checking that no one touched the box he carted into the room. His gift was fragile, after all.

The moment he spotted Belloq, he rushes over to give him a hug.

"You're here! C'mon, ya need to open your present!"

[what_ho_jeeves]

Bertie peered around the room searching for Agent K. To everyone and anyone nearby him he said, "What ho, I'm looking for a man named K. Just K. Dashed short name. It must have been pleasantly easy to learn to spell as a school child. I still remember poor Beauregard Aloysius Buringham-Feldings at Malvern House Preparatory, who took three weeks to get his right.

"Anyway, I have a present for this K chap, so if you see him send him on this way."

Closed to Elle

[archeologue]

Belloq sought out the diminutive girl to present his gift to. The flat white box was tucked under his arm, tied with a red ribbon and bow.

When he found her, he bowed politely and held out the package.

"Joyeux Noël, my dear. Merry Christmas."

Grainne brought the gift she had made and wrapped, feeling a bit awkward. She honestly didn't really understand the nature of the gift exchange. Well, she knew a little bit about holidays in the modern world but not too much on the history, though she could guess. But it wasn't familiar and she didn't know any of the proper social cues, or what was expected of her.

So she stood awkwardly in a corner giving everyone that came a curious passing over. She was waiting for Ben in particular, and she hoped she had guessed well enough for his gift, given that she had one conversation with him and knew only a little about him.

At least, every so often when someone walked by, she would brighten up a little and smile at them, "Hello."

[ratkicker]

Jade barely knew anyone here, so there wasn't much point in going around greeting everyone. She drifted towards the food table and back to one of the walls, observing the others. If someone she knew passed by, she gave him a quick greeting and went back to waiting for her gift receiver.

At least, she spotted Tuco. "Hey." She handed him a festive-looking bag stuffed with red paper. "I hope you like it."

AKA K is a brat and fails at social.

[most_feared]

Kay doesn't actually label his present as being from him, nor does he seek Jade out specifically. Perhaps if she does the math in who is missing and who got what, she might figure out that it's him.

But he sends his via one of the resort's robots, which shows up with a wrapped package and informs her in Jeffer's quaint, formal tone that a package was left for her.

Inside is a vintage camera, since antiques are a thing that he tends to lean towards. He hoped she would like it, even if he was sticking to the secret part of secret Santa and not actually making an appearance.

[quixotically]

Elle wasn't exactly sure how to wrap the sweater that Grainne made, so... She ended up settling for sticking it in a bag and shoving tissue paper on top of it, something she noticed shopkeepers doing as a gift-wrapping option for their customers.

Which just leaves one more problem: finding Bertie. Elle, not for the first time, mentally curses being short as she stands on her toes, trying to figure out wherever it is he's gotten off to.
