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.

For Armin Arlert

[nastyboy]

Dimitri knows Armin only to a slight degree, but he knows of Armin much more, because guess whose reputation was brought up the first time Dimitri got his own Lapras? (Or, rather, his Lapras forcefully followed his ass.)

That means what Armin gets is:

- a carved wooden Lapras, whose shell can be lifted up via hinges or locked in place with a small latch (which are metal, and which he had to get help with from someone more professional than him). The shell is delicately carved with various nature patterns. It's large enough to be used as storage for all sorts of neat things: pokeballs, paperwork, knick knacks.

- Pictures of Dimitri's few water type Pokemon: Karimala the Lapras in lovely shape as she glides through the waves with a massive shiny Kingler resting on her shell, that same shiny Kingler going against his double-shiny Kingler elder in friendly crab battles, and underwater shots of two well fed Gyarados twining through the depths, et cetera.

Dimitri did not take the pictures himself.

"Did he attach a camera to a rat and have another rat hit the snap button-" listen how about you mind your own business and appreciate these lovely pictures that were carefully chosen out of a couple dozen weird blurry shots
