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.

ZUKE'S GIFTS

[zukeini]

On the night before Christmas Eve, a video would be uploaded to Zuke’s Staryutube page. This one. Just with an added festive Goomy hopping in front of the camera wearing a Santa hat. Yes, Zuke wore those socks.

All of Zuke's presents are neatly wrapped, almost too clean and precise with green bows and a heartfelt message on each package: Selamat Hari Natal! With much love, Zuke. Every package contains malt chocolates, a couple hot cocoa bombs (with cinnamon and marshmallows), candy canes, and soft snickerdoodles. All of his gifts are handcrafted. He's spent a lot of time on break from the touring, and got to work for the holidays in Azalea.

Claude: A seashell necklace, laced with coral. He was reminded of him in his travels to the beach towns, and soft colors were deliberate.

Dimitri: A carved wooden box, laced with details of carved birds and his own name. "For your drumsticks."

Grant: The softest scarf, hat, and gloves made from soft Wooloo wool.

Felix: A guitar pick painted in gold and blue and a woven guitar strap.

Kazuki: A wood carved trumpet figurine laced with ivy leaves on a wood stand. On the bottom was a small plaque that read, "For a most talented musician".

Chip: Oil pastel crayons. Zuke didn't make these, but someone was making them in town and he thought they would love them. Every color is there.

Jaskier: A soft poncho decorated with gold, black, and red. A frame for the wall with the words he gave him on the night of the nightmares with "A verse for a special friend" written on the bottom.

Jinx: Zuke didn’t make this either but he commission for a keychain to be made. It’s a Wingull carrying a boba tea. It was a fun memory and he hoped she remembered the joke.
