12 Days of Singmas

[singularitymods.livejournal.com]

Hypatia spends a lot of time studying the various races and cultures that come through the rift, and nothing quite interests her so much as big damn holidays. She has decided to try her hand at this whole 'Christmas' thing, and as such residents might be in for a bit of a surprise in the coming days.

Are you ready for a white Christmas? Courtesy of our own Victor Fries and an encouraging Hypatia, Residential Zones will wake up to a nice dusting of snow starting tomorrow morning. Temperatures will also be dropping to just below freezing, leaving it just nippy enough to break out your gloves and hats. Bet you didn’t think you’d have to shovel the walk on a space station, huh?

All public areas in the Residential Zones are being given the holiday treatment, with service drones busting out the wreaths and lights. Decoration starter kits are also being left at doorsteps, and residents are strongly advised to get to work bringing the holiday spirit indoors.

What would Christmas be without a Santa? Hypatia can’t very well spread all this cheer herself, and so has constructed a helpful holiday automaton to do her bidding. Robot Santa is a friendly droid build to look and act like the stereotypical image of Santa: Big, round, dressed in red, laughs a lot, and has an unsettling habit of letting himself into other folks’ homes without warning. While he’s primarily a benevolent sort, he’s fully capable of defending himself should any character decide to take a swing at him. Residents may see him scampering around roof tops in the coming days, carrying a large sack on his back.

he sees you when you’re sleeping

What good is a robot Santa if you don’t use him? And Hypatia is nothing if not observant. On Christmas morning characters will wake to find presents addressed to them under their Christmas tree. You don’t have a Christmas tree? Well you do now. Gifts will be up to muns to decide, but they should be creepily appropriate. Given how much time she's dedicated to surveillance, she has a pretty good idea of who should get what. This is also a chance for your character to receive small, personal items that may have come through the rift before/after them. Hypatia, with her all seeing security systems, can have located these within the Junkyard and ever so thoughtfully gift wrapped them.

If you would like your character to receive an item from their world, please run it by us here first--just like any special item request.

This seasonal event is bound to evolve further, so keep your eyes open for further announcements!

GIFT ITEM REQUESTS

D-do kittens count as special items? (for Sookie)

[reunified.livejournal.com]

Requesting that Altman be gifted his wallet. It was taken from him before he was snatched off to Sacrosanct, but it has some pictures in it he would really appreciate having again.

Can Davesprite get his chestsword back? He still wouldn't be able to store it in his chest because gaping wounds lol, but it's a little sharper and more resilient than a normal one and has ~sentimental value~.

TEVINTER WINE. ALL OF IT

Fenris will deck the shit out of the walls with it.

[cryovengeance.livejournal.com]

Would like for Mr. Freeze to receive two items:

- His snowglobe
- Nora's wedding ring

[myownbestfriend]

Speaking of creepily appropriate, Emma would like her old nose back. It was broken in a fight a few plot arcs ago, ruining, as she screamed loud enough to be heard a block away, $20,000 of plastic surgery, and it's never been the same since.

What's creepier than going to sleep Christmas Eve and waking up Christmas Day with a nose job, I ask you?

PIETRO WANTS HIS SISTER.






but seeing as how that's not possible, how about a ridiculous number of rubik's cubes?

Considering he still has the arrow that was lodged in his side ... how about the cancer symbol shackles (http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpw4w7ZYFL1qih8w8.gif) for The Signless?

AAAAA NO ROBOTS AND COMPUTERS STOP WATCHING ME

[twotailmechanic.livejournal.com]

By "creepily appropriate", what do you mean? What would be some examples?

[apothanasia.livejournal.com]

Say your character has a fondness for collecting tiny porcelain tea cups that they've never mentioned on the network, or a similar hobby or interest it would be odd for the general public to know. Hypatia would know this from her constant, 24/7 Big Brother-y surveillance of the network.

In the case of items that actually belong to the character, it can happen through obvious methods (say she found a wallet with the ID of a certain character in it and gave them that), or through simple fudging it on the muns part ('I want x to receive y from their world, make it happen please').

Does that help?

Normandybros, watch out. There will be snowballs. Coming at you when you least expect it.

[cloverdaleboy.livejournal.com]

Just thought, for amusement's sake. May I please draw the robot Santa? Would some speculation be all right? As to his style, which is designed by Hypatia? Or do the Sing mods have an idea?

[apothanasia.livejournal.com]

Go for it! All we've really decided on is that he looks sort of like a cross between the stereotypical Coke ad Santa and the Futurama Robot Santa--details beyond that are up in the air.

[rebuildscience]

Oh hey now that I think about it will there be mistletoe?

[apothanasia.livejournal.com]

Mistletoe is included in the drones' decking of the halls.
