Comin' To Town - [ACTION]

[genpcs_a]

[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!]

[you'll be getting hi-vis jackets for your reindeer when she gets the idea probably in the middle of summer, knowing her and you'll like it.

This is not a thing to be taken lightly! She's quiet as she ponders seriously, even as excitement is coming off of her almost literally in waves, before she takes the green one with care. Don't want to break anything that might be inside!

She starts pulling at the paper carefully even as she asks-] Can you not even stay a little while? I kind of miss proper conversation. [Meaning one that does not have to be whacked out on the comm. She'd almost like to try this with some of the others here - especially as some are clearly not human, but.... we'd like to avoid accidents. She's not even sure how it would work being almost cut off from Heaven, and all.

She might not have realised how much she actually misses it until she's now having it.]

I'm sorry, my dear. You know I can only appear one night out of every year.

[But he hugs her nonetheless, before standing back with a friendly pat to her shoulder.]

If I finish my rounds early, then I'll come back and we can bring in the dawn together.

[Before he fades until the next year. Once his job is done, that's the end of that. He allows her to take the green present and unwrap it. Inside is a surprisingly large gift basket with all kinds of assorted goodies. There are new clothes of different eras that she'd like, fruits, chocolate, preserved flowers, candles, soaps... She HAS been VERY good this year, after all.]

Only if you are sure you can afford the time.

[She can't deny that it would be nice.

But she grins at him and comments teasingly] You missed the wardrobe for me to hang them in~ I don't think the tree branches will be quite so kind to the clothes.

[Don't worry, she's getting on that as soon as there's a store open after the day. they're far too lovely for them to be ruined.]

[genpcs_a]

Did I~?

[There's a playful twinkle in his eye as he gestures to one of the trees, which seems to have acquired a new door. How mysterious! Inside is improbably space to put her things, including a shoe rack that she'll probably never use. But she can put other stuff on there.]
