Comin' To Town - [ACTION]
[It doesn't matter where you live. It doesn't matter if you have a chimney, or an active security alert system. With a twinkle and a jingle, his sleigh soars through the air, landing on the most precarious of rooftops or sloped sheds...anywhere. Those reindeer are freaking magical. He appears in your home with a large sack slung over his shoulder, leaving a very special selection of presents.]
[For those who are awake, and if you left out milk and cookies (even if you didn't originally intend it to be for him), he'll even talk to you. Otherwise, the situation is the same.]
[There are three beautifully wrapped gifts, all the same size. The paper is red, green, or white. Each gift contains something of value, so choose without fear of being punished!]
[UNLESS. If you've been very bad (and if you want this option OOCly), there will be a fourth gift as well, and the color of wrapping paper options extends to red, green, white, and gold.]
[OOC: The item contained in each gift has been predetermined randomly for each character, so while a red present might contain a charm for one person, it could be a treasured item from home for another person. Even for people who want a fourth option for their villains, the gold present isn't necessarily the bad one. Of course, if you just want coal straight up, you can elect to get that without having to worry about choosing randomly.
This event runs from the 22nd through the 28th. In order to participate, your character must have been introduced to the community at some point. So Deadpool doesn't get a present. C_C_ Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays!]

[This is like a dream come true. She's getting hugged by Santa and getting his autograph.
Ruby will hold the hug for a little while longer, until she realizes that he can't sign the card or get to a pen with her latched onto him.]
Oh! Right, sorry!
[And she'll let go and hold up the card for him.]
no subject
We really appreciate it.
[And she does. As Santa signs Ruby's card, she winks at him.]
no subject
Oh ho, not at all! Now let's see... [he takes Ruby's card with one hand and goes searching through his pockets with the other, and pulling a few items free, listing them off as he goes] hmm, candy cane, no. Carrots for the reindeer, nope. [And then a weird, whirring electronic gizmo that gets a belly laugh from him] Ho ho! My old sleigh navigator, and I thought I'd lost that. Ah, here we go!
[Pen in hand at last, he signs away. As he does, he glances up at Yang and gives her a knowing wink. This might not be just a random Christmas surprise after all.]
Dear Ruby,
I know that this isn't where you expected to find yourself this Christmas, but I hope this reminds you that the unexpected can lead to something very special. I wish you the very merriest of Christmases, for this year and many more to come.
Love, Santa Claus
Here you go! [And he hands her back the card with a chuckle, and he'll even let her keep the pen which, naturally, is shaped like a Christmas tree.]
no subject
She'll take the card back and will even do a little twirl after she reads it. She got Santa Claus' autograph. She is the happiest girl around.]
Yang! Check this out, he signed my card!
[Because it's not like she didn't see it happen.]
no subject
[She smiles down at the card, slinging an arm around Ruby's shoulders, and once again, she's moved by Santa's kindness. What a nice guy! Why can't the Ice King take a few pages from this guy's book? Or a few chapters.]
Wow, lucky you! WAY better than any other celebrity's, am I right?
Do you want to stay a while? We can pour you a glass of milk that's actually cold.
