12 Days of Singmas

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.

dreaming of a white christmas
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?


deck the halls
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!

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

karkat is going to end up hanging upside down from a lamp post, bound with holiday lights and covered in tinsel

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

[identity profile] selfkismesis.livejournal.com 2011-12-13 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
that has always been karkat's fate.

[identity profile] apothanasia.livejournal.com 2011-12-13 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
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?

Would it be a kitten she owned back in her own world, or just a random one?

[identity profile] apothanasia.livejournal.com 2011-12-13 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
congrats karkat, you get to be the upside down christmas tree of spite

[identity profile] wilywilyways.livejournal.com 2011-12-13 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
The kitten form of a cat she used to have that was strangled and tossed at her front door, so sort of like a reverse-aged gift of a cat that she'd owned, yup.

(If that's not allowed, any ol' kitten works...)

spreading christmas FUCK YOU FUCK YOUR FACE FUCK YOUR STRANGE HUMAN FAMILIAL CUSTODIANS AND FUCK THE HOOFBEAST YOU RODE IN ONs to all the good boys and girls of singularity.

christmas eve will be the opposite of a silent night.

[identity profile] apothanasia.livejournal.com 2011-12-13 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
That works! We can say the kitten was pulled from an earlier timeline point, hence the difference in age.

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.

Yep, thanks. ^_^

can this please happen. karkat's negative cheer will bring sacrosanct's average cheer down to 0. it is his destiny. someone must balance this shit out.

[identity profile] reunified.livejournal.com 2011-12-13 12:49 am (UTC)(link)

Is there anything special about it besides an apparent lack of decent comebacks?

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~.
