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

[Lord Magtok]

Yuletide Throne

"Ho ho ho! Hello, Ms. Locke. And what have we here? One of your countless illegitimates, I take it?"

Mag puts a hand on Kara's shoulder, trying not to freak out about the wolves approaching, hoping he can wrap this up ASAP and then flee right out of the thread before anything else horrible can come after him.

"What would you like this Thanksmas, dearie?"

Oh gods, the wolves are going to kill him. They're going to kill him right here in front of everyone and there's nothing he can do about it.

[Chaotic Bob]

[Yuletide Throne]

Yank yank.
Karaglen pulls Kira's hand a little more and (with a big smile!) motions toward's Maggy's other knee.

Sit!

The wolves won't quite fit...but maybe they can have a turn after?
Or they can have Magtok's legs.
That too.

Now, to that question...
The girl, completely ignoring the illegitimacy accusation, twists up her face a bit while she thinks reeeeeeeeeeeeally hard.
What did she want for Thanksmas?

After a moment, an almost visible lightbulb goes off and she offers Maggy Claus the most absolutely adorable beam in all the world.
"Can I have a cloth friendly cleaner maybe?"

[Gulaghar]

[Yuletide Throne]

Kira narrow her eyes at Maggy. Then she's still getting tugged on. Very reluctantly, she'll sit on Maggy's lap. Perve's probably relishing the experience.

[Lord Magtok]

Yuletide Throne

Nah, Maggy's as uncomfortable about it as Kira. Maybe even more so, given his strong distaste for gender-shifts, as well as his dislike of people who he knows better as guys on his lap.

"Heeeere's a present for the young missus."

He hands over the cleaner thing to Karaglen, trying to avoid thinking about how ridiculously weird and weirdly ridiculous that request was.

"And for the much, much, much older young missus?"

Oh, Maggy Claus. Even when shaking in your boots about the deadtimed wolves at your feet, you still find time to mock Femme-Kirk? That's some serious dedication to your craft, cyborg.

[The Bushranger]

[Y.T.]

Meanwhile, waiting her turn is a little red-haired girl!
Specifically, the ponytailed, young-teenaged Spawn of Tobias.
Jamie paitently waits, a thoughtful expression on her face as she looks around at the others present.

[Gulaghar]

[Yuletide Throne]

Kira ponders a moment. Hrm... what's a good way of messing with Maggy. Suddenly a sly smile grows on her face.

"You know, I could use a good bra. Something that's magically supportive and is easy on my back." She certainly needs that effect. Especially with a back unused to carrying any weight in that area. "While you'r at it, make it one with two places for knives on the back, facing downward, and one in the front." He can guess how that one's positioned. She leans closer then, putting her lips near his ear. "And make it black and lacy, will you, Maggums?" I'm pretty sure she's doing this to mess with him, especially considering how amused she looks by it all.

[Morty]

[Yuletide Throne]

Viima and Kullervo pad over to Maggy Claus and sniff at him. Then they make themselves comfortable at his feet. Magtok might be able to tell that Viima is pregnant, if his terror at the canine hellbeasts allows him to pick up such details.

[Lord Magtok]

Yuletide Throne

Oh gods, they're right next to his boots.

Right.

Next.

To.

His.

Boots.

Maggy Claus closes his eyes and grits his teeth, trying to imagine a bright, happy, alternate reality without dogs or wolves or any sort of canine monstrosity in it. A cheery little world in his own mind to hide away in. Someplace safe, someplace warm and cozy where nobody ever gets mauled to death by a hungry were-demon from dog hell, or yapped at by an annoying Chihuahua. He tries to escape to this lovely little fantasy, he tries so very hard to lose himself in this wonderful dream, but fails. Reality is just too real, and closing his eyes does nothing to make it any less so. It doesn't make the Lady Kirk on his lap any less terrible either, and he has a responsibility to deal with that as quickly as he can, so he never has to see her putrid monkey face ever again.

"Certainly, Ms. Locke! A deluxe reverse-Vasquez chest-carrier, coming right up!" He declares before reaching for the bag. Just before he can pull out a bra, he stops to scowl at the drow, whispering right back at the foul, inhuman she-beast that Kirk is just waaaaay too comfortable with being right now.

"Y'know, if you really want a knife so close to your heart, there are much simpler ways to arrange for it, sweetie."

Santa-tok's every whispered word is laced with venom, venom that would be only too willing to find some subtle way to get his nefarious, cold-blooded revenge for these harmless antics, with equally ridiculous and inconsequential, yet suitably diabolical shenanigans. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Santa Claus has already figured out exactly what he's going to do, and has his attack plan built right into the bra. The same bra, of course, that he's gingerly holding between his thumb and forefinger and uncomfortably passing over to Kira as if it were some loathsome squirmy maggot or something.

The parrot tries to cling to Reinholdt's shoulder as he leaves.

This probably is not terribly effective on a cat shoulder.

After that, it becomes an NPC to be controlled by Reinholdt's player, and up to him whether he passes control over it to Ermine's player or not.


Meanwhile, Whisper uses SULK.

Her sulk skills are mighty and to be feared. But otherwise, her lap is empty, if rather small.

[Gulaghar]

[Yuletide Throne]

Kira just smiles sweetly at Maggy as she takes the bra. Completely innocent. You'd never suspect any deviousness. "Why thank you, Santa. It's perfect." Okay, this next bit might involve deviousness. Kira suddenly tries to give Maggy a peck on the cheek.

"Come on, Kara, let's go." The drow tries to take the girl's hand and lead her away from Maggy. The look of disgust on Kira's face as soon as her back is to Maggy will only be matched be the same look on Maggy's face no doubt. That may not have been worth it.

[Chaotic Bob]

[Yuletide Throne]

Kara gleefully places her cleaner in her bag, ad sneaks Magtok a hug at some point.
"Thanks, Santa!"
She hops up with Kira's mention, humming away to herself, but pausing before they step far.
The she hops in a half-spin.
"Oh! Santa! What about Fuzzy and her boyfriend?"

[Morty]

[Yuletide Throne]

"Fuzzy" and her boyfriend raise their heads, then get up to sitting positions and try to place their heads on Maggy Clause's lap.

[Lord Magtok]

Yuletide Throne

"R-right, Fuzzy and the boyfriend..."

Oh gods oh gods they're on top of him and he can't run and they could bite out his throat at any moment and that filthy elf kissed him and oh gods this is terrible. As soon as these wolves are gone he is running right out of this chair, he doesn't even give a darn anymore.

"Umm...chew toys! Let's get you an endless supply of chew toys! Here, go catch!"

Magtok reaches into the bag, pulls out a smaller bag with 'Shenanigans Sack' written on one side, and then throws it as far as he can, spilling chew toys through the air as he does so. Should the wolves take the bait, he'll mutter a brief 'HO HO HO' and then run screaming away from the Santa chair, as far away from the scene as his stupid legs can carry him.

[Morty]

[Yuletide Throne]

Viima and Kullervo get themselves off Magtok's lap and the male wolf grabs the bag with his teeth. The pups will really enjoy the chew toys.
As Magtok runs away screaming, Dipsnig can be finally spotted under one of the Thanksmas trees, laughing his arse off.

[The Bushranger]

[Yuletide Throne]

The screaming departure of Magtok would normally be worthy of a giggle, but Jamie frowns. Now nobody's here playing Santa!

[Lost_Deep]

Yuletide Throne

The yuletide throne is empty... this is not permissible.

An eager young woman in red and white with a Santa hat almost as long as she is slips into the chair.

"HO HO HO! Meeeerry CHIRISTMAS!"

Eliza Hexadecimal has been waiting to sit in this chair for a while, and is eager to take the position! Somewhere nearby, Mannheim Steamroller's Christmas songs start playing.

"Come sit on my lap, and we'll see if we can't get some more cheer into the world!"

[The Bushranger]

[YT]

And Jamie, smiling once again, approaches!
"Hi there...Mrs.Santa?" the young redheaded Magical Girl asks, grinning. "Did Santa have to take a cookie break?" she adds, giggling.

[Lost_Deep]

Yuletide Throne

Eliza shrugs. "It shouldn't be anything to worry about. Now then, come over and tell me what you want for Thanksmasnewyearskwanzaakkah!"

She certainly has a lot of energy, compared to a lot of Santas that have been here recently!

[The Bushranger]

[Yuletide Throne]

And thus, Eliza will find the Spawn of Tobias in her lap! And smiling at her.
"Well...basically, what I want is something to give a friend of mine. She gets in a lot of trouble, and...something that would protect her, would be good."

[Lost_Deep]

Yuletide Throne

"Hmm... well, that's nice of you! Thinking for your friends. What kind of thing would be best for her? Something to call for help? Something to protect her head?"

Eliza Clause ruffles around in the huge Santa bag, considering the options. What's good for a young person who gets in trouble?

[The Bushranger]

[Yuletide Throne]

"Something to protect her from those who would want to hurt her," Jamie says earnestly, thinking about what happened to Holly the last time she vanished for awhile. "Like, I dunno, a protective amulet, ring, something like that."

[Lost_Deep]

Yuletide Throne

"Hmm... oh, I know!" Eliza rummages around some more. "Let's see if they... aha!"

She pulls out a bracelet. It's rather pretty!

"Okay, the tag says that this will provide some armor against attacks! Nifty! And it has a little light in it, so you can see in the dark to do things!"

Yep, the magic bracelet has a little button that turns on a little light. That's pretty handy!

[The Bushranger]

[Yuletide Throne]

Jamie gasps, and smiles happily.
"That'll be perfect for Holly! Thank you so much!"

And Santliza will now get a hug from the grateful Magical Girl.

[Lost_Deep]

Yuletide Throne

Eliza Clause will pat Jamie on the back. "Merry Thanksmasnewyearskwanzaakkah, and a happy new solar revolution!"

[The Bushranger]

[YT]

"And you too! Thank you so much!"
Jamie smiles as she relases the hug, and goes to hop off Eliza Clause's lap.

[Lost_Deep]

Yuletide Throne

Well, Eliza certainly won't stop her. She waves goodbye to Jamie, and then turns her attention to the next person in line!

[Morty]

[Big Thanskmas Tree]

Like last year, Brinika is over there preparing for a big solo performance. This time, she's got Caretaker to help her.
