[Nexus] Thanksmasnewyearskwanzaakkah![Canon or Non-Canon]

[Morty]

Well, Viima and Kullervo are offering themselves up for Thanksmas pets and cuddling. Even though Kullervo isn't normally as friendly as Viima.

Wenomir, meanwhile, nods. Well, yes. It's a special time of the year. And even grumpy old crumdugeons like me get roped into being the Santa sometimes.

[FireFox]

Roped by what? I have heard tales of powerful Thanksmas magic... Including a sack that contains miraculous gifts. The wizard gives said sack a curious look.

[Morty]

Indeed. The magic of Thanksmas can do strange things. And this is Santa's bag of presents. Everyone is egligible for one gift from the bag. Wenomir motions to the bag in question.

[FireFox]

Absolutely fascinating. The mage smiles. I wonder, is everything here powered by a wild, natural magic or a more divine magic? No, not a physical deity, but... belief? Maybe everyone here believes in the idea of Thanksmas.

[Morty]

Wenomir scratches his false beard. That's possible. Everyone believes that around this time of the year, Thanksmas should happen, so it does. The Nexus tends to work like that.

[FireFox]

I wonder if there are any wizards who study this potent Nexusian magic... Spyridon stares off into space and starts to forget that he's in an actual conversation.

[Morty]

Wenomir shrugs. I have no idea. I'm not sure I'd even call it magic. It's just the natural law of this place. Like gravity.

[FireFox]

There are those in our tower who study sciences to gain control over the natural laws. Spyridon shrugs, then changes the subject. I don't suppose you have anything in that magic bag for me, do you? Perhaps more screen time...

[Morty]

Screen time. Tricky. Apparently the magic of Thanksmas allows Wenomir to see through the Fourth Wall. I'm not sure what might give you more free time but if there's something like that, the bag might have it.

[FireFox]

Spyridon shrugs again. I can't think of anything else I want, but it doesn't matter.

[Morty]

Wenomir digs around in the bag and pulls out a large, colorful book. The title is "1001 Jokes to Make You the Life of Every Party".
Well... I guess it sort of counts, he says as he hands it to Spyridon.

[FireFox]

Spyridon opens the bardic tome to a random page. What is the difference between Angela and Magtok?
...
One dates every girl wearing a dress and the other dates every girl while wearing a dress.

[Morty]

Wenomir actually snorts and chuckles when he hears the joke. That's a good one. I'll have to remember it. I hope you enjoy this book.

[Shadowcaller]

Next in line is the mage who seems genuinely surprised seeing Wenomir in his santa outfit. "What exactly are you dressed up as Wenomir? I know red is a traditional winter color but there seem to be more to the outfit then that."

[Morty]

Wenomir looks quite embarassed. Santa Claus. He seems to be some sort of universal personification of winter celebration that gives out presents.

[Shadowcaller]

"Oh... I see. It makes sense though, during winter time you're supposed to give to those less fortunate. Back home we have the winter feast this time of the year." Cessie explains.
"But when I heard about thankmas and how your supposed to give gifts to each other during this holiday I couldn't resist. I want to give something special to Harnel after he arranged our house but I don't know what." She points out the sack near Wenomir, "But that sack might have a better idea then me, could you be so kind to try to pull out something for Harnel Wenomir?" The mage asks.

[Morty]

Wenomir Claus reaches into the bag... and produces a calendar with a picture of Cessie for each month. He stares at it in surprise, then shrugs. Well, the bag knows best I suppose. I'm sure Harnel will enjoy it.
With that, he deadtimes and vacates the chair for the next Santa.

[Reinholdt]

Butler has long been a traditional Santa, so he takes the chair next, dressed in his Santa garb.

[Gullara]

Sakura arrives here (pre wedding!) with a mission. Continuing the long standing tradition of women not wearing near enough clothes for this weather, she has a short, sleeveless red dress, trimmed with white and only extending half way down her thigh. The sexiness of the dress is kind of ruined by her heavily pregnant belly, however.

She gives Cessie a little wave, but there's no time to chat. She heads straight for Butler Claus. "Hi Butler." She says warmly. "I guess I'm supposed to come to you for presents?" Butler seems to be where the person doing that job is supposed to be.

[Reinholdt]

"Yes ma'am! You sit in my lap and request presents ma'am. Congratulations by the way ma'am." Butler explains, with a head nod at the belly. Used to see lots of pregnant catwomen.

[Gullara]

"Thanks." She gives him a beaming smile. Sakura maneuvers onto his lap, feeling a bit awkward about it all. As utterly devoted as she is to Adir, she can't exactly deny that Butler is super hawt.

"I'm not getting something for myself. I wa actually hoping to get something for Adir. I'm not really sure what to get him, though. Maybe something to do with hunting, or something romantic. Do you think the bag has anything like that?" She looks at the bag, apparently having come at least somewhat informed.

[Reinholdt]

Whyyyyyy noooot?


As dictated by Magtok, Butler finds a present for Sakura for Adir and pulls it out for her.

"Here you go ma'am. I hope it's what you're looking for ma'am."

It's magically designed to perfectly fit whatever size Sakura is at the moment in the most sexy hunting related manner possible.

In addition, there's a horn, labeled Deer Mating Call on top of the clothes.

"You got a big haul this year ma'am! Most people only get one thing ma'am."

[Shadowcaller]

Cessie can easily deny that Butler would be hawt, it's the lack of scales. *nodnod*

That calendar was clearly inappropriate but Harnel might like it, as long as he didn't show it to anyone else. She didn't even know where anyone could get such images, they must be artificially generated... so technically she hadn't done anything indecent. It wasn't her on those images.

She hid it in her bag of holding, trying not to look at it too closely, the first image was already too much.

"That's... an interesting costume Sakura." She comments as Butler pulls it out with the bag along with the horn. "What's with the horn though?"

[Gullara]

XD *is laughing so hard*

Sakura blinks in surprise at the gift. Not exactly what's she was expecting. >.>
That said, she already has ideas running through her mind. <.<

"Thanks, Butler." She takes the gift in one arm and uses the other to give Butler a brief hug. She hurriedly slides off his lap. "See ya."

Sakura hugs the outfit to her chest, but there's no hiding what it is. Well at least it's Cessie. "Uh, it says Deer Mating Ca-" She cuts herself off as soon as she realizes what she's saying. She couldn't possibly look more embarrassed. =x

[Reinholdt]

"You're welcome ma'am. Have a happy Thanksmasnewyearskwanzaakah ma'am." Butler replies, giving her a hug in return, before the lap is vacated and he becomes free again for whomever's next.

[Shadowcaller]

Cessie coughs, well, there was that. "...I'm sure Adir would appreciate it Sakura. Not something you're going to give him on the wedding I hope? More suited for a more private occasion."

[Gullara]

Sakura fidgets. "Well, yeah. I'm thinking the honeymoon." >.> The dryad suddenly giggles. "Not exactly what I was expecting to get him, but I'm sure he'll like it."

[Halae]

Harnel arrives here! He's also surprisingly dressed, wearing one of the robes he got from Hestopia. it comes with foot coverings, a tail covering, and even sheathes for his wings. He even happens to be wearing a fuzzy hat. Why? Because he wants to be here, but he absolutely hates being cold. so he just got all the heaviest clothing he owned and came out. As a half-red dragon, it's not like he's going to overheat.

Harnel's first priority is to go up to the santa seat and get his present, of course. But he won't sit down on someone's lap if he can help it.

[Reinholdt]

"Hello Harnel sir. Are you next sir?" Butler Claus asks him.

Lap sitting may be required. I'm sure Cessie will enjoy the resulting picture.

[Halae]

Harnel looks apprehensive, but he sits down in Butler's lap, "Yes, I'm next. I want something for Cessie... maybe something for myself, but she's the important one here." Harnel is being as selfless as he can here. He's greedy due to his dragon side, so he had to suggest something for himself, but still.
