Thank you Stumpy! ^_^

@Everyone
The results of the poll were decided. The lore thread will remain on CS, but I will overhaul it with a new, shiny table of contents and layout!
Back to regularly scheduled random polls :)

Day 4


Facts!

Sixney celebrates the solstice season by turning strongly chaotic-good. Any corrupt rich or powerful people will be targeted, first with threatening graffiti in shades of blood red and toxic green, then with theft and other attacks. Meanwhile, the honest and the poor are rewarded according to need.
A common holiday practice is to write threatening letters and have them delivered anonymously to various dictators. Not just the emperor (that's so mainstream). Most people will write to a corrupt boss or CEO.
Red and green are common colors to wear during the season. Red stands for threats and bloodshed, while green represents the wealth they'll steal. Color-coded crimes!



A carol from Sixney
"Wreck the Halls"

Wreck the halls with rude graffiti,
Fa la la la la la la la la
Rob the rich, give to the needy,
Fa la la la la la la la la
Don we now our crime apparel,
Fa la la la la la la la la
Give dictators mortal peril,
Fa la la la la la la la la

Make oppressors kneel before us,
Fa la la la la la la la la
Strike their face and join the chorus,
Fa la la la la la la la la
Follow me in merry measure,
Fa la la la la la la la la
While we plunder tyrants' treasure,
Fa la la la la la la la la

Shirk your work and skip your classes,
Fa la la la la la la la la
Riot for the rights of masses,
Fa la la la la la la la la
Shelter homeless from the weather,
Fa la la la la la la la la
Feed the orphans all together,
Fa la la la la la la la la

Carol Advent Calendar
Day 5


Facts!

Celebrations of the solstice date back to ancient times, long before magic was outlawed from Delra.
The government has attempted to destroy records of mythical creatures of old, which were hunted to extinction. The below carol still remains, portraying a child asking for a pet dragon for the solstice. This is commonly viewed as a silly fantasy song about kids and their imaginations... but in truth, a pet dragon could have been possible once.



A carol from ancient history
"I Want a Baby Dragon for the Solstice"

I want a baby dragon for the solstice
Either a wyvern or a wyrm will do
I don't want a doll, or a swing or a slide
I want a little dragonet to play with and to ride

I want a baby dragon for the solstice
I don't think my parents will mind, will you?
He won't bark or bite, or chew up any shoes
We'll keep him in the big backyard, a piece of cake to do

I can see me now on solstice morning
Running down the stairs
Oh what joy, what surprise
When I open up my eyes
To see my dragon baby standing there

I want a baby dragon for the solstice
Either a hydra or a drake will do
No unicorn foals, or fuzzy chimeras
I only like little baby dragons
And little baby dragons like me too

I want a baby dragon for the solstice
A little baby dragon is all I want
Mom says a dragon would eat me up, but then
Sister says some dragons can be vegetarian

I want a baby dragon for the solstice
The kind I saw this summer in the sky
There's lots of room for him in our big wide backyard
No burglars would come sneaking 'round with a dragon on guard

I can see me now on solstice morning
Running down the stairs
Oh what joy, what surprise
When I open up my eyes
To see my dragon baby standing there

I want a baby dragon for the solstice
Either a lindwurm or 'coatl will do
No griffin puppies, no basilisk chickies
I only like little baby dragons
And little baby dragons like me too

Day 6


Facts!

Fivana celebrates the solstice exactly how you would expect. Nonstop parties rage across the district, blaring music in an endless sea of festive noise. Although the parties seem loud and chaotic, they revolve around kindness and acceptance - a celebration where everyone is included equally.
You might be wondering, how do people sleep during this time? Well over a lifetime living here, Fivanians have learned to treat others' loud parties as lullabies.



A carol from Fivana
"Here Comes Santa Claus (Right Down Corazon Street)"

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,
Right down Corazon Street
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer
Are in for a treat
Everyone dancing, reindeer prancing,
All is merry and loud
Hang your stockings and start your parties
And yell it up with the crowd

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,
Right down Corazon Street
He's got a bag that's filled with toys
For girls, boys, and enbies
Hear the sleigh bells and the cheering
Oh what a thunderous sound
So party hard and turn up the bass
'Till Santa Claus comes around

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,
Right down Corazon Street
He doesn't care if you're Thrintian
Or Niner or Eighnese
Only if you are open-hearted,
You'll be gifted tonight
So fill your hearts with solstice cheer
Treat others with love not spite

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,
Right down Corazon Street
He'll come around when we're at the rave
We'll come back to a great treat
Peace in Delra only comes
If people don't fight, but cheer
So let's replace our insults with hugs
'Till Santa Claus comes next year

[fifty blessings]

Awwww!! asdjkdfsl thank you so much baby <3


Also! Reminder to people who might be stressed out about posts:
Just wanted to remind you that big lengthy posts aren’t needed! There’s no pressure to write X amount of lines/paragraphs, even if other people are doing it. So when (if) you decide to come back, keep in mind there’s no expectation or requirement on how long you should be posting! ^_^
Also I understand it's a busy season for students so you can take a break whenever necessary. There are no consequences and you can jump back in anytime you want!

[Stumpy.]

Who's supposed to make the first move?

[Pistol Annie #1 NPC]

Official answer: Jen and Arys!
More specific: The first wave is Jen & Arys, followed by Demetria in the second. (I wouldn't worry about inferno, she tends to be very active and timely!) Quinn will back them up with his telekinesis.
Robin and Roselle can also start either of their diversions anytime! However, timing is key. It's up to their discretion when their actions would be best suited. ;)
As for other teammates, Atlanta and Cujo are waiting to help. Brenn and Gavotte are prepared to use water and ice to slow down the Prince. Onyx and Keelan are ready, waiting to slap those handcuffs on.


Also I hope you like the ominous poll. It's a kickstarter of sorts for the coming history update... ;)

[marimo.]

Alright, I'm back!! Sorry for my absence, things got really crazy for a while with my sports starting up but I can post now. :3

[Pistol Annie #1 NPC]

Awesome! I edited my recent posts (discussion and rp) to include Arys. Welcome back! <3
