[Mulan showed up to this world in girls' clothes, which is NOT what she wanted--she's hurrying to find some nice boyclothes and something to bind with before she runs into Shang again, and also wondering...

A) What Christmas is
B) Who Delirium is (and why she's buying her a gift, exactly)
and
C) If the stores around here even take super-old Chinese money.]

Uhm, excuse--oh, pardon--I didn't see you th--sorry--

[Also, D) WHY IT'S SO DAMN CROWDED.]

As I said, I drew you guys a Christmas card (kinda). It may now be Boxing Day, but hey.
( I CAN STILL GIVE OUT PRESENTS A DAY LATE! )

[Del strongly approves of the Christmas tree. She's actually climbed halfway up, where she's defying gravity by balancing on a branch that should have bend and slid her off the moment she trod on it, and now she's playing with the baubles around her]

I was there. Um. Then. When the Christmas thingummy happened. Um. It's another festival and it's funny because everyone gives everyone chocolates. A girl dying is good at Christmas. It's a story but it's true. People think nobody dies at Christmas and if they do angels will come. Angels are too busy, they're always too busy and too stuck up. I don't like them. But, um...what was I saying? Christmas. I like Christmas. I like Christmas better now. There was blood on the snow.

Soooooo...

My internet is a fail. These last few days, it has been even more of a fail than usual. Hence my lack of posting (also Ayu's lack of posting, since, you know, we're on the same network - I believe she explained this), and hence this short explanation. WE'RE BACK!

Hope you all had a good Christmas. Thank you and good night.

MURRY CHRISTMAS.
AND WHATEVER ELSE YOU CELEBRATE.

<33333

I hope you guys got everything you wanted! Want to share? Come on, tell meee~
I got the sexiest hat ever. And a ton of Bones and Law and Order. Also Silent Hillll. :D

( Also, images of my hat. )

[...Secret Santa? For Belarus?

God, what is he going to get her...

Unless he can find a way to kidnap that brother of her's without severely injuring him, this is going to be difficult. And he can't imagine kidnapping a country the size of Russia being easy. SIIIIIGH.

Don't mind Kasai, perusing around the stores, looking for something that would be good for a country like her.]

[Whether it's due to the various festivities and holiday gaiety, or the ever-present laughter of children who aren't being torn apart, the slender man seems rather out of place in this strange, new environment.

That's hardly surprising; after all, what kind of suited, faceless man wouldn't draw attention wherever he goes? What's really surprising is the fact that, rather than going after any of the multitudes of potential victims here, as he is normally wont to do, he appears content to regard the large tree at the mall's center.

Perhaps he feels some sort of kinship with it, however bizarre.

Perhaps, with all its twinkling lights and gaudy ornaments, he feels some sort of injustice.]

[Spirit? The mods want spirit?]

[POLAND'S GOT MOTHERFUCKING SPIRIT!]

[Also, he might have spent some of his insert-currency-here on new clothes. What's Christmas without a Santa hat? Or a red and white miniskirt + little-bitty-tanktop ensemble? Or sexy boots? ANSWER HIM THAT. I DIDN'T THINK YOU COULD.]

( Cut for egregious sparklyness. Poland, why do you do this to your poor mun? )

Wesółych Świąt, everyone!

Your Christmas Spirit sucks.

You wake up in a shopping mall with (currency)500 in your pocket and a slip of paper with a name of someone else in RPD. This is a fucking Secret Santa, but I don't think most of you are going to figure it out on your own, so all the shops have signs that announce great sales for last-minute gifts you might get your mom/dad/dog/sister/brother-in-law/great aunt/teacher/SECRET SANTA RECIPIENT.

There is a giant fucking tree in the center of the mall that could seriously house an entire tribe of elves. In fact, since you're snowed in at the mall, please make yourself comfortable somewhere. There are only so many couches at the department store.

Every hour, another high school comes in with their shitty choir and sings to you shitty Christmas songs in the tune of stop this shit right now. How they keep coming but you can't leave? Don't ask. You won't get an answer.

You have seventy-two hours to feel the goddamn Christmas Spirit or you're stuck here until the next time I decide to change the world, which probably won't be until March.



If you celebrate another holiday, clearly you're screwed.

So, you may have noticed I haven't been replying as promptly as usual. Or, you know, frequently at all. This is due to what we in the business call MIFS-Massive Internet Fail Syndrome. We hypothesise that it may be due to lots of people being home for Christmas and eating up our area's woefully inadequate bandwidth, but whatever the reason, the result is that my internet connection is not so much "on and off" as "off punctuated by short bursts of poor connection". Which sucks, because I drew y'all a Christmas card and I want to show you it, but it's just too much for the poor broadband to take.

This also affects Jormy, due to her, you know, living in the same house as me and all, so if you don't see much of Del, Liet, the Fool, Roland or Shang, that'd be why.

I love you allll, and If I don't get a chance to upload that card before the end of tomorrow, remember I'm still here wishing you all a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

WHO NEEDS A TAG?

Gonna try and filter through, but if you tell me the characters name that needs a tag and link a post of theirs, YOURS WILL BE DONE FASTER

THANKS BITCHES

ETA: ALSO

There are CLEARLY NOT THIS MANY PEOPLE HERE

LAZY ACTIVITY CHECK: COMMENT WITH WHICH OF YOU ARE ACTIVE. I'll give it a couple of months, Christmas and all

ETA: ALSO ALSO, I just removed a load of posting permissions. If you have had yours removed, and shouldn't have either

a) You aren't on the taken list
b) my ctrl+f failed

if you never replied to the taken list, and did not have a tag, I may have removed you, realized you were actually posting, re-enabled you, spent 15 minutes picking through the apps post to find your app, added you to the taken list, and then made you a tag.

WHINING IN YOUR ENTRIES / THE TITLES OF THEM ABOUT TAGS WILL NOT GET THE ATTENTION OF A MOD IF YOU AREN'T ON THE TAKEN LIST. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. YOU'RE GROUNDED FOR WASTING MY TIME.

Annnnnd I'm back, just in time for Christmas. XD Hope I didn't miss too much.

Already annoyed by Christmas invading every single RP of yours? Wanting to throw virtual tomatoes at the next mistletoe that starts singing merry Christmas as soon as you get a bit closer? About to make a secret about killing all mods that give in to the stupid commerical shit that this season is?

Yes? YES? YES?

Well then. Do all this stuff, because RPDly presents: BEST OF RP CHRISTMAS.

You get:
- 1 dancing blue Christmas tree, spinning through the streets. He should be scary since he's from a horror game, but he's just drunk. And yes, it's a he, because he'll molest every person that seems at least a bit female to him in a deep male voice. "Hey angel, wanna make this ol' Christmas tree's Christmas heavenly~?"

- 2 zombies that tried to dress up as Santa Claus, but instead hide eggs everywhere.

- 3 Groups of people that do Christmas carroling who will make you join them

- 4 blond ladies that you've never seen in the Changing Worlds that emo about how they will miss home tomorrow

- 5 reindeers that try to convince you that THEY are Rudolph

- 6 random characters that complain that THEIR culture doesn't have Christmas and how discrimintated against they feel because it is celebrated

- and tons of mistletoe that make you kiss the next person that you meet.

- plus a little girl with matches that will die of the cold before the night is over.

[La-di-dah, tum-te-tum, doin' whatever it is Chinese army captains on the march do when they wake up in the morning...]

[...Aaand outside to rouse the troops!]

[Hello? Troops?]

[WHERE THE FRIGGING FRIG ARE THE TROOPS?]

...This is not the Tung Chow pass. Where am I?

[ Shaun wakes up in his house!

This is normal. Weird dreams he keeps having, jesus. He sluggishly makes his way to the bathroom. Goes through his morning routine. House is kinda quiet, weird. Ed doesn't seem to be around. Oh well. Just enough time to head down to the shop!

Shaun digs out some change, leaves his house and wanders down the road counting it out. He should probably get some milk, and --

Halfway down the road, he realises this is not his road. At all. He looks back. Then looks up the road again. Then backs up a little.

What? ]

... Oh, fucking hell.

[ This is Shaun, standing in the street swearing and attempting to see if mobile phones work here. Worth a try! ]

...Hey, Ket?
Ket?
Ket?
MERRY FREAKIN' CHRISTMAS! :D

So, this is Jormy, AKA Roland-mun, bringing in... a stolid, manry, very dedicated soldier. Again. BUT THIS ONE'S CHINESE!

Say hello to Li Shang, peeps!

Hey, everyone- sorry for kind of falling off the face of the earth over the weekend. As luck would have it, the same winter storm that put our state into a "state of emergency" decided to show its affection by snapping our phone line in half. Since the only internet access I have at home is through dial-up, this pretty much royally screwed me over. I'm only online now because I managed to hitch a ride into town, which was an hour's treacherous drive away, and I'll be back to a phoneless house later this afternoon.

I really hope it won't take that long, but the phone company says that our service won't be restored until this Saturday night. Beyond that, I'm also heading out for a week-long trip on the 28th, and my internet access then will likely be nil. As of right now, I'm not sure when I'll be back.

This affects HAL, slender man, and Gabranth. I'm really sorry for all this, guys. I'll try to be back as soon as possible.

ETA: And, uh. It looks like this was a false alarm, since our phone line just came back on this morning. Boy, do I feel ridiculous. I'm still out next week, but until then, I'll be here!

So my family is here visiting for the holidays, which means limited free time until they leave, so I'm declaring a hiatus. This affects Kallen, Agrias, and everyone's favorite Christmas elf Alleyne. I'll be back by the 26th at earliest, 28th at latest.

Have a good holiday of your choosing and I hope you all get what you want! Also go get drunk for me since I can't have alcohol in front of my mother.
