CHRISTMAS LETTER SHENANIGANS

[paunch]

HELLO PEOPLE OF HOLLY HEIGHTS! i meant to make this post immediately after north's second video went up, but i completely spaced it! at least i'm making it now, that's what matters! anyway, for those of you who are interested in your characters giving him letters (i am aware that a lot of you are, considering the amount of tags i've got that i'm SO excited to get to!) i would like any questions about the entire thing to go ... here? I GUESS?? or you can catch me over at my plurk at suspects !

because north obviously can't be bending any rules, if he cannot fulfill a gift that your character wants or absolutely must have, he will do his best to make a gift that will be almost or just as good.

EVEN IF YOUR CHARACTER DOES NOT SEND A LETTER, all of holly heights will be getting gifts unless you SPECIFICALLY TELL ME that you don't want that to happen. (no hard feelings, i will totally understand!)

what i want you to do is tell me what your character would like as best you can (if you're not sure, that's totally fine) in this post or IN HIS IC INBOX. 

north is an inventor. he can seriously manage a lot of things.

i'm hoping that his powers will be approved for this little side-character-plot thingy, because i would love that, but even if the landlord doesn't agree to it, he will do his very best to make the gifts. his powers and quickness may be gone, but his determination certainly is not! c: 

NORTH'S POWERS ARE BACK AS OF THE 8TH OF DECEMBER, COME AT ME. 

if you have any questions, feel free to ask, i don't bite! 

i think this covers mostly everything.

dude, this is seriously adorable. 8(

quistis just wants nice things for her family. (because he can't give her back her blue magic or junctions or make hijikata stop cockblocking her...)

although she would accept triple triad cards with girlish glee.

[paunch]

oh thank you ;; i thought it would be appropriate, and it's incredibly ic so it works P E R F E C T L Y ♥

aw ;u; what a sweetheart. he'll do his best to get gifts for her family! (even if they're not exactly what they want)

would you like to handwave a letter? or you can write one! north probably wouldn't know what triad cards were or ...who wanted them so, just let me know what you'd like to do c:

[nagyka]

you're welcome! i'm sure it's really fun to play with, albeit going to be a stunning mess in that inbox of yours!

good 8( although her spouse probably deserves a giant lump of coal.

she probably wouldn't write one for herself! she's one of those people who are super-awkward about gifts. although she might consider writing for her friends?

[paunch]

bah, i can deal! c:

oh jeez oh no :( i'm sad he doesnt have his powers back yet because THEN HE WOULD JUST KNOW THINGS ABOUT EVERYTHING

sure! that works out great! hopefully he will get her cards ... hohoho

[sylvan]

how jolly of you!

eh, it's a-okay. she'd honestly feel more comfortable not getting anything from anyone.

rydia, on the other hand, will write him! c:

[paunch]

duh i mean i do play north jeez

aw boo aw no he's gonna try and give her something okok

♥ perfect

[nagyka]

ahu hu, actually, she might ask for a piano for some jerkass she knows (which she'll then mooch off of) but she'd propose she help him build it or ask if she can shadow him or smth. she can't imagine they're easy to build or cheap 8(

[paunch]

he can definitely make a piano like wow that's awesome he can do that

HE CAN DO IT he got his powers back on the 8th!! :)

[nagyka]

aww yiss congrats
enjoy that mr claus

[technetronic]

what if your character deserves a lump of coal

[paunch]

then he'll get a lump of coal

seriously

no i'm kidding if anything tony will get something he will never be able to use hHAHAHAHA

[technetronic]

can it also be something that he literally cannot throw away like it rescues itself if he does or something?

[paunch]

omg like a little mechanical dog that just keeps coming back and is indestructible???

[technetronic]

yes that sounds perfect!

[paunch]

fabulous

[moimin_papa]

Depending on how the thread we have going with them, Fin would either help North oooooor possibly decide to beat him at his game and do his own Christmas run.both sound like great fun, tbh. I know you're over run with tags, so we can see what happens. I'll add you on plurk; I'm purplefluffychainsaw.

(Idk if you're canon familiar/what you do and don't know but basically Fin acts as Santa in his world. They still have the thing about the jolly fat man in a red suit and white beard, which is why it's acts as rather than is, but he does go across the world in his sleigh giving gifts. Also, Russia owned him for a hundred years and then after Fin gained independence decided he wanted him back, and then the Winter War happened which is why he doesn't like Russia. And North is pretty similar to Russia, size size and in his enthusiasm. Not with the beard though!)

[paunch]

EITHER WAY would be great! north LOVES a competition, and that would be great cr, too!

i'm not canon familiar, so thanks for letting me know about him! oooh t his will be very interesting ♥ i'm in canada right now, so i apologize for some delay, but i am really looking forward to this.

[moimin_papa]

It'll be great, either way it turns out! I'm GMT and working retail so I can be on the slower side anyway, but I'm excited for this.

If you want to know anything else about him feel free to ask! Or his app's on his profile too but I'm pretty wordy so if you'd rather just ask that's not a problem!

[frenchfryrevolution]

THIS IS REALLY CUTE, I just wanted to say, too!! I shrieked a bit when I saw his post

I will need to think a little more for what Sadao would like best, but I will hit this up again when I can think better. I just wanted to say how cute this all is in the meantime (ninja)

[paunch]

AW BLESS U

so happy that you're interested! let me know whenever c:

thanks uwu

[prosecutory]

OMG CHRISTMAS

Actually...Edgeworth already got a Christmas present he actually wouldn't have asked for in the first place but is the best present he could ever get a.k.a. another chance to be with his dad (CUE B'AWWWWW) but hmmmm he really doesn't have many material wants. What he really wants is the truth about this place and to be able to figure out stuff about HH, so I leave it up to you to figure out what a prosecutor could use in his investigations and work and stuff.

Hisami is a writer and a bookworm. What she'd like is to for more people to get into reading and be friends with books, so to speak. I'LL GET BACK TO YOU ON HISAMI

[paunch]

OH GOSH um i already have a lot on my plate with this mini plot, and i'll try to think of things, but do you think you could help me out a bit with something he could use? c:

aaaah okay !! cant wait ♥

[prosecutory]

SURE SURE. Hmm law books could be good! Books on foreign legal systems, international law cases, bonus points if they are written in foreign languages.

LOL I CONSIDERED JUST THROWING HIM SOME STEEL SAMURAI TOYS WELP

For Hisami I think she could use a small, cute bookshelf that can fit on her desk, or some cute notebooks she can write story ideas in.

[paunch]

OH GOSH UM

north literally doesnt really know much about law books and he can't read minds, so these two would have had to talk about this prior. however! he did have a life before becoming ~santa~ so he could give miles a law book, in russian, about THE LAWS WAY, WAY, BACK WHEN IM TALKING LIKE 14TH AND 15TH CENTURY (he was a cossack ohohoho) so if miles can deal with that, north will deffo do that

oh how sweet wow okay sure!! he can definitely do that and add in a secret compartment uwu

[prosecutory]

AH I HAVE A BETTER IDEA

I see you now know of the Steel Samurai thanks to Maya, because well EDGEWORTH IS SECRETLY A FAN OF THAT SHOW so maybe North can just give him a Steel Samurai doll that can be put on display on his desk! Hmm, would it be possible to make it also a pen holder and a lamp? WHOO FUNCTIONALITY

secret compartments are best

[kinomoeto]

omg i can't believe i missed this!!

all sakura wants would be her family (her real one :C) but that's not possible so north can just give her a stuffed toy of kero-chan. even better if it talks lmfao! though i have a feeling that'll just make her cry, amazing. but yeah, stuffed toy of kero-chan.

she'll also be sending out a box of cookies for him :C

[paunch]

perf a stuffed toy uwu

is there any way we can handwave sakura showing him a picture at some point?? like of what she drew? there's only so much north knows, and he doesn't know about a gift unless someone writes it down or talks about it (describing details, etc) because he's not a telepath!

aw how sweet ;;

[kinomoeto]

sure!! she might show him her powers anyway since magic and stuff so she'll most likely describe kero one way or another. whichever would be best for north to know, haha.

[paunch]

perfect! that is super, super perfect awesome oh my gosshhh i gotta make a list for myself to remember this myGOD

[katonking]

huff you are a cutie pie and i can't even

If there's one thing that Ema wants most is to have Lana here for Christmas but since that might be a bit difficult, I don't mind if North gets create with it. IF NOT he could never go wrong with getting her something Steel Samurai related or just straight up things for her friends because they deserve nice Christmas's.

As for Pepper that's a little more difficult? She's very practical so orz I WILL GET BACK TO YOU.

[paunch]

wow no you are uwu

OK STEEL SAMURAI and maybe ... idk i mean he can't read minds and he only knows about things if it's written down or said out loud and stuff because otherwise HE WOULD HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SHE WANTS
i was thinking he would make her a doll that looked like lana if she told him about it, if that was ic for her to, that is!

OKAY awesome

[ex_firecross517]

seifer deserves nothing but coal 'sd;s;lgskd

i too hope north gets his powers approved just so seifer can receive a cactaur plush thing that constantly follows him around e_e ohgod

[paunch]

goD

HE HAS HIS POWERS BACK NOW ACTUALLY he got them on the 8th i need to update this post

like i've explained to people above, north is not a telepath! he only knows what you want as long as you write it down (on a wish list ohohoho) or talks about it with him personally so if that was ic for your character to do then we can definitely work something outtttt

[ex_firecross517]

i know you agree cmon!!

GRATS!

if that's the route things go thennnnnnnnnn by the looks of their little thread, that list will end up making an appearance.

[paunch]

he is he's a goober

pERFECT i love this

[uzumerorin]

wow, I got to the IC post but missed this one somehow xD anyway, this is amazing! Well, North already knows what Asuka wants, but Uzume has never heard of christmas (he's from ancient Japan, it doesn't exist yet!) but he's going to....like...anything (food, clothes, things)? But I'd love for him to ask for something ICly once he finds out what it is, because I know something he would ask for that North can't give..... /is mean

[paunch]

food clothes and things sure thing

and oh :cccc how ... sweet...........

[30thcenturyrabbit]

FORGIVE ME I HAD CHIBIUSA WRITE AN EXCESSIVELY LONG LETTER OMG.
she still wants to help, btw. a magical girl should help a magical old man. it only seems right.

[paunch]

JESUS CHRIst that's insane

and yes he already has a few volunteers for helpers! i'm gonna make another ooc post about this on the ... 16th? IN LIKE A FEW DAYS so if people still want to jump on the whole GIVE MY CHARACTERS SPECIFIC GIFTS thing, they totally can. i'm making a list of aLL THESE THINGS tomorrow or at some point soon because gosh this is a lot

so i'll make the post with current volunteers, and make sure to include chibiusa too!!

[paper_rabbit]

YEAH SORRY I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW LONG IT WAS UNTIL I WAS DONE. T_T
I have a bad tendency to tl;dr with everything.

Chibiusa will be all over that. Lavi here would probably chip in for the opportunity to pick his brain over history and magic and things. Because that's what he does. Silly historian.
