arc v + wreath, wraiths & mistletoe

[groundrules]

Happy holidays, if you're celebrating! With 18 to 15 votes in favour, the people hath spoken: Arc V will head into the The Siege. A one-off desert travel mission will precede it for two-three weeks, to honour the tight voting margin and serve as the stage of our January test drive meme. There will be sand and off-brand Sarlacc pits.

We'll iron out Siege infiltration, espionage, trade/negotiation and ole fighting opportunities next month. Enjoy the cooldown SoL peace while it lasts! On that note:

WREATHS & WRAITHS

As promised: the staff of the haunted Silent Night inn prepare to greet the new year with wreaths, garlands and decorations that stealthily invade guest spaces. Until 4 January, characters can optionally encounter:

■ opiate mistletoe that generates six hours of profound and unerring contentment. You are one with the world, the world is not combusting. Peace. Serenity. Cats. Joy.

■ pussy willow: catnip to a majority of the inn's friendly, if gregarious ghosts, who simply must talk your ears off now.

■ wolf's holly: dainty, pristine, jovial and... sadly carnivorous and prone to growing tendrils. Now, how did this slip in? It's yet young, but might try to snare you in a tentacle hug while it grows out its pathetic, dull baby teeth. Kick it off.

■ winter dandelions that tempt you to make a wish aloud and blow them for good luck. Some inn keepers say, the more public your proclamation, the likelier your wish will come true! *This is false advertisement.

(CR) GIFT THAT KEEPS GIVING: A MEME

Post a blank comment for each of your characters.

Comment around, handing out the Christmas gift(s) that summarise your character's feelings for them! First impressions a-okay ♥

Optionally, throw in a sprinkle of tl;dr about your characters' feelings, or mention what actual gifts they'd be giving!

Thread on, if you like!

Enjoy the original art, and thanks to our resident Finn & Wei Wuxian players for the coding help!
