Christmas Tree, My Christmas Tree..~ [2013 Log]

Merry late Christmas, this is how this works.

You send a list of Christmas wishes your character has to Santa. Santa will look through your list pick out one that works and give you a present based on the wish.

Kyrie Blaze said:

All was quiet in the house that had become home to not one, but two Barrials. It would be, if it wasn't already, Christmas in a few days. Olesya and Maddie had ensnared her into making cookies...singing carols...everything that brought back such sweet-bittersweet memories that still had the power to make her feel sad for all that was lost.

Quietly, she took a pencil she used to trace out musical notations, and a small sliver of precious paper, and thought a moment before writing three things she wished for, the most.

1. My entire Family's protection.
2. Peace.
3. To be the Choice...not the Option.

Kiyr wakes up that morning to the sight of a Christmas tree, and under it a single present. Marked:

To: Kyrie Barrial
From: Santa Claus

Once opened a small glowing light would burst from the box break into a few pieces and scatter, one piece hitting Kiyr square in the chest and into her heart. Inside the box would be a note.

"Kiyr, I can do nothing to change others, but protect your family I can."

As long as Kiyr or her family members remain non-combative in a situation pure Qi energy will block attempts at attack on them. Based on their CHA score.

Kyrie Blaze said:

Her eyes opened...to the sight and smell of a small Christmas tree, and a single wrapped present in an ice-blue...with a sapphire ribbon and bow. Her little note was gone; the three was sitting where she had left it on her dresser. She stared. Blinked.

Several times.

It was still there each time she opened her eyes.

Cautiously, her eyes beginning to shimmer and dance, she drew herself from between her blankets towards the soft glow that lit up her room--it wasn't dawn yet, but it was about the time she got up, depending on how much her mind and body let her sleep, these days.

She slipped forwards and picked the box up, turning it in her hands. The ribbon's colour shifted, shining a royal purple. Slowly, she opened it. The bright glint and flash of light caused her to reflexively close her eyes, but not before hearing something break and seeing a rapid stream of several lights zip off. Then something slammed into her chest and burrowed deep. Giving a mild cry of both surprise and pain, the blonde stumbled back, rubbing the back of her hand over her heart as her eyes opened.

...she wasn't dead.

Kyrie took a quick peek inside the box...and found a note. By the small, soft lights on the tree, she read it.

The blonde bowed her head.

She was grateful. Santa was, apparently, real. It wasn't Levi or Delilah, not for this. She hadn't noted the last one with any intent to alter someone...

It was simply her wish.

"...thank you..."

Arianna Barrial said:

Arianna meandered upstairs and paused at her younger sister's doorway. She was already asleep...that was different, for her. But, she did run around seemingly tirelessly for the Dragons, so perhaps it had all caught up with her between that and her difficulty sleeping.

The eldest of the two siblings slipped in on her light dancer's feet to draw the blankets up around her and press a kiss gently against her temple. Such a thing might have woken her, but she remained in a deep sleep.

'She works so hard for them...' Arianna's honey eyes were thoughtful with a tinge of soft sadness before she turned to head back out--and spotted a piece of paper on the dresser. Curious, as it wasn't a size that could be a document, she strayed over and read it.

There was a name at the top...her eyes softened, and she had to blink several times at the wishes before turning - with pen and another slip of paper - to head to her own room. Sitting down on the snowy comforter...Arianna began to write, musing as she did so.

She didn't get terribly far.

1. The tools I need to better myself as a Doctor and Surgeon.
2. Light and laughter.
3. I think I have everything I need. So I wish for joy for everyone and for you, yourself, Santa. Have a Merry Christmas.

She could have wished for his safe return to her...but the blonde surgeon had unwavering faith in him. It was just too bad his elder brother still had a lot of growing up to do, though she thought him decent enough regardless.

Changing, she left to paper on the windowsill and slipped back to put the pencil back where she found it in Kyrie's room. And then, there were two ladies fast asleep in the house that was theirs.

Arianna wakes up to a christmas tree in her room next to her bed.

On the tree a letter.

"Arianna,

The purity in which your Wishes have reached me inspired me to make my own wish for you.

Love, Santa"

Arianna gains +5 to all stats.

Arianna Barrial said:

Arianna woke to daylight...and rubbed a hand over her beating heart. Was it dream or memory, that she'd been abruptly woken with pain? She drew in a deep breath; even she must have been more tired than she'd realized. She was normally up several hours before this.

Pine? The smell was odd, here, in Long Beach.

Lolling her head one way and then the other, she spotted the culprit by her window.

"...seriously~?!"

With a laugh to herself she wriggled out of bed, sore chest forgotten, to go run her fingers along pine needles and their boughs. After a few moments of appreciating the tree, she gently plucked the letter off it, wondering who could have...

Her eyes skimmed over the letter...and widened at the signature. Saint Nicholas? Père Noël? Reeling, she noticed a subtle difference in herself. She felt...better. Which was weird--but in a physical sense it made sense. She tucked the letter back in the envelope...and then tucked that beneath her pillow for safe keeping. Wondering if Kyrie was still asleep or just waking - and wondering if she got something as well, Arianna darted to her sister's room with a bright and wild grin.

...only to find it empty. And surripultuously neat, as always.

Well, she supposed she should be too surprised--but she was pleased to find a giftbox and small tree on her sister's dresser, too. Drifting over, she peeked in the box to find nothing...yet a small note was set to the side. Nosy and not minding the feeling - protective big sister mode engaged - she skimmed the letter and nodded, satisfied.

Turning, she figured it was time to start her day. And that meant a cup of coffee--there was still a little bit to be had. And then...she was going to take the day for herself and relax. Too often she started her days early, and they lasted long. It was time to take a day and treat herself, for herself.

Santa Baby~~

1. Amazing business and lots of sex, thank you please.
2. Fire. Give me fire and flame. <3
3. Happiness.

Zack Asiv said:

Aryn awakens to a christmas tree with a single present under it marked:

To: Aryn Valcoph
From: Santa Baby

Upon opening the present inside would be the handle to a Zanpakuto. The handle itself was around a foot and a half in length. Upon touching it would find a huge weapon of black fire extend from the handle. two feet in width and seven feet in length. Not at all heavy because fire doesn't weight anything.

As well a letter that reads:

"Aryn,

See you again in a few months, me and the elves really appreciated the hospitality."

Aryn Valcoph said:

...wait. Shit. What?

There was a Christmas tree and present, just for her? Smirking, she sauntered over - absolutely naked - and opened the gift before pulling out a handle. It was about a foot and a half...and for a moment, she considered the possibilities of it as a sex toy...

....and then WHOOSH.

Fire.

"A FUCKING FLAMING, GIANT-ASS SWORD--ARE YOU SHITTING ME? ARE YOU SHITTING ME."

And Aryn proceeded to glee around the room - after turning off the stupid thing after some difficulty - and read the note.

Ohhhhh.

Santa baby was definitely getting extra the next time he showed up.
