Also, Merry Christmas everyone!!
I just got a post up now as well. (Note the Forell- and Ninon-themed insults in her post aha I'm really having a fun time experimenting with these and really letting Arys' districts shine! I've decided she's mainly Forellian with quite a bit of Ninon in her.)

AWWWWW PETTING FUZZY BABY KA;SDJFASDK
Ardai would try to employ puppy-dog eyes and beg for pets. "Pretty please?"

I was just about to comment and say how much I appreciate those insults!!! It warms my heart when people creatively use the mean words from canon lore lol

Carol Advent Calendar
Day 25


Hi rebels!

Well everyone, it's been a great (sleigh) ride. Now the holidays are drawing to a close, and I just want to thank everyone for being here. I enjoyed writing these carols so much, from the nonsensical Severin violence to the adoptions in Twodor. I hope some of them put a smile on you face this season!
Now before we say goodbye to the advent calendar, there is one more I want to show you...



A carol from Delra
"The Night of the Solstice"

'Twas the night of the solstice, when all through the land
Not a district was stirring, the small to the grand
Oneta through Ninon were sleeping away
In wait for tomorrow, a bright solstice day

Onetians were nestled all snug in the beds
While history memories danced in their heads
The kids in pajamas, professors in caps
Had just settled down for their 3 A.M. naps

And out in ol' Twodor, the guardian mothers
Asleep at their posts just this night and no other
Yet never would hoodlums sneak in and attack
They'd rather stay home and ask mum for a snack

The moon on the mountainous Thrintian snow
Brought peace to the district from friend unto foe
The couples asleep, holding onto their dear
Would dream of tomorrow, to face without fear

The rebels of Delra would have to be swift,
To run to safe houses and smuggle their gifts
More rapid than eagles yet silent they came,
No lingering nor calling except by codename

"Now, Alpha! Now, Bravo! Now Charlie through Foxtrot!
We must stay unnoticed or mission is for naught!
From the shady back streets to the underground holes!
Dash away, dash away, hide like the moles!"

Though rebels hear guardsmen and quickly must fly,
In Forell, it's peaceful from sea to the sky
The birds perched in treetops and fish in the streams
Live happy green lives and dream happy green dreams

Their neighbor, Fivana, has blown off their roof
But party is over and here is your proof
The houses are silent and people are found
All snuggled up cozy, and warm, safe and sound

The young punks of Sixney crushed bullies and jerks
Returned to their creches to sleep off their work
It tires you out to be on the attack
So hoodlums are glad that their friends have their back

In Severin, fighting has drawn to an end
Their quarrels have settled, they're back to good friends
They put down the sword and they hung up the bow
To curl up together as outside, it snows

A silence had fallen as Eighnes' gamers slept
Their roleplaying over, their whole party swept
They'd eaten great dinners that filled every belly
And curled up to fall asleep, watching the telly

And meanwhile Niners had feasted on deer
A dinner so filling, the grumps joined in cheer
They polished the antlers and hung up the head
Then locked the doors tightly and went straight to bed

And even the tyrant had put down his work
He lay down to rest and stopped being a jerk
The following silence was broken by steps
So quiet, not even betraying who crept

The fair Prince of Delra snuck out in the night
Rushed off in a sleigh filled with wishes so bright
And I heard him say, eyes alight with green gleams,
"Happy solstice to all, to your hopes and your dreams!"


Happy Holidays!

Reminder that the free rares giveaway is still ongoing!
(Honestly I just want everyone to get rares... You deserve it)
All you need to do: Tell me which district you'd be from!
You can put two districts but please indicate which one is your "dominant trait".

Now that I have more free time, expect some major lore updates in the coming days!

[Stumpy.]

That sounds about right for Robin. She'd much more like to shift to find lost coins and cheer people up than fling herself at an unsuspecting prince, haha.

Aida would absolutely love to pat the big fluffy wolf, no questions asked.

Robin would be a lot less interested since she shifts as well, and would just feel rather weird about it.

[Pistol Annie #1 NPC]

The action has started! Wayne was also so blatantly disrespectful, I added a trigger warning. Just a real degenerate, and that's not ALL he's nasty about. Wait till you see his opinions about women or about certain districts' citizens...

To brighten things up, here's a question for anyone to answer!
What is the most important thing to your character?

[cocogerber13]

Onyx is NOT gonna take someone being disrespected in front of them! >:v


Onyx is very passionate about everyone getting the same opportunities, regardless of things they can’t change like background and environment! No inequality on their turf!


Caleb, while he does truly wish the best for everyone, mostly prioritises the protecting nature and his loved ones. This includes all of the Phoenix squad and the majority of the rebels, which means you!!! He’s like a twodorian mum

[Zyn]

{ hopefully onyx doesn't mind quinn's more subtle reaction. he is very much pissed off on the inside }

{ quinn is quite passionate about fashion as everyone knows but he cares about his allies and friend deeply and would do anything to keep them safe both mentally and physically. }

{ aisling is a sweetie who wants everyone to be happy and healthy and safe. and woe unto to the person who dares try and threaten those things }

Geez stuff really hit the fan while I was asleep.

Robin absolutely values the environment in the highest, but if anyone dared to hurt her friends, they'd have a new enemy.

Aida just wants to make everyone happy. She's very sensitive to others' emotions, and just wants the best for all of her friends.
(And as you can tell, she really likes decorating.)

[Pistol Annie #1 NPC]

Soren is accepted!

I removed the poll on Wayne's fate because of the three-way tie. Instead, I planned something else out with Wayne and Alastair that is more open-ended. We will cross those swords when we get there.

What is the most important thing to your character?

Sycamore - She believes only compassion can save Delra, so that's the most important thing to her. She also has a strong love for her friends and humanity in general. Phoenixes instinctively consider humans adorable! <3

Gavotte - His loved ones are most important to him. That includes his father, his friends, and Jen (heehee). Not his mother though, they have some unresolved issues and she doesn't approve of him.

Ardai - Others' confidence. He plays up his own stupidity on purpose, making himself look like a moron so others feel better about themselves. If they are laughing at how dumb he is, they won't be putting themselves down!

Commander Atlanta - Fighting spirit is important to her. She encourages her team to be independent, and doesn't want to crush their spirits by giving too many orders. (None of the "You can't do this, you can't do that!")
Although, admittedly she is a bit too Laissez-Faire and sometimes lets them run wild. She will try to improve on that and also consult her squadmates about it.

Prince Alastair - Hope.

Emperor Brungard - The family he used to have. Power and control.
