Giftmas!

[indigo_league]

With Christmas scooting ever closer, it's time to start thinking about the real reason for the season and that is gifts. Yes, yes, joy to all, peace on earth etc etc, but deep down what we all want to do is tear some wrapping paper off boxes and be dazzled by the contents.

In order to keep things a bit organised, we'll be putting this up as a central gift-giving post, and it will feature three things.

★★ Arceus' gift As many of you long term players might already know, Arceus tends to drop a few gifts on the people he has brought here on Christmas day. And this year is no different! These gifts will be revealed on December the 25th, so please check back then to see what your character will be receiving. And yes, these gifts will go out to all. Arceus doesn't judge. Maybe he should, but he doesn't. ★★ Secret Santa Though these gifts won't officially be delivered until the 25th, this post will also feature a thread where you can post up the gifts your character has gotten their Secret Santa recipient. Feel free to start posting these up as soon as this post goes up (we are not going to make you wait) ★★ Your gifts And finally, your gifts! If your character is the kind to get their friends a bunch of things, feel free to use this post to distribute the offerings. Much easier than hitting up a bunch of inboxes! If you would rather distribute your characters' gifts individually in various inboxes, feel free to do so! This post is merely an option for people who'd like to keep things in one central location.

Now with that all out of the way, let us take a moment to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and for those that don't celebrate, just kind of a Cool Weekend.

As mods, we'd like to thank you all for all your effort and joy, for every badge you've submitted, every prom that was ruined, and just all the various crimes committed by our dedicated (and some not so) rockets. A new year approaches, and with it, new opportunities, new plots and CR, but hopefully still and forever, the same amount of fun!

Once more, A Happy Christmas, a delightful Saturday, and a wonderful 2022.

Seriously, 2022, the bar is super low here, don't disappoint us.

(frozen comment) Arceus' gift

[indigo_league]

On Christmas morning, a mysterious gift will appear. It might appear underneath a character's Christmas tree, on their bed, even suddenly in their backpack. The gift will be wrapped in wrapping paper matching the characters' favourite pokemon type (or, if they do not have a favourite type, the type that they own most frequently). There is no 'From --' on the gift, nothing to indicate the source of this mysterious gift.

Inside, the characters will find one of the following objects, with the choice being up to the player.

They may find either an object from home¹ or an egg that will hatch into a shiny pokemon of your choice or a multi-use TM of your choice or two ability candies.

Have a very merry Christmas with the knowledge that Arceus can always get into your home if it needs to!


¹ In terms of size, the object from home would be something the character could've theoretically had on them while arriving in this world. If the object normally has magical properties, those will be stripped i.e. a Wand of Frost just turns into a fancy stick. Arceus will not gift weapons.
