HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS: THE SECOND WEEK

The castle’s decor gradually gets more and more intricate. The lobby sports Christmas trees so tall their stars nearly brush the domed ceiling, and bells have become the new staple of decor. Residents will want to take note of the bells, in particular, as they’re just about everywhere. It seems the ringing incites... feelings.

And the atmosphere! Anyone who ever claimed Paradisa was never good will have to eat their words as the nostalgia creeps around the castle. While there are never any real illusions or hallucinations, the almost synesthetic quality to the castle is hard to ignore. A glance around your room might stir thoughts of home. A jog around the grounds might dig up some old memories of good times. A mindless conversation with a friend might bring to mind that time of your life where things were perfect. It’s not complicated, or overwhelming: it’s just a gentle prod, easily ignored until they start happening more and more frequently.

It’s not just a reminder of where you lived in your world, or where you’ve been, or the places you’ve seen. It’s home. It’s wherever you felt safest, or most loved. Wherever you felt like you truly belonged. Where you were happy. Where your mind returns for your fondest memories.

You can have home here, too, you know, the castle whispers into sleeping residents’ ears every night, so quietly. Just a whispered hush, loving and motherly.

Residents wake every morning to the smell of hot apple cider, home-cooked breakfast and another door on the advent calendar unlocked. They may not remember ever hearing a voice, but the thought still crosses their minds.

Could they have a permanent home here?

SPECIAL DAYS

The second “empty” advent day is Saturday the 12th.

Residents will wake up to a gift from the castle, from home. It’s something small, something specific and meaningful. You may use this post to plan what your character will get!

Dean: Maybe something from storage? Like one of the boxes Bobby made to trap dangerous items, or his first fake ID? IDK

Sylar I'm thinking on.

SO LATE

[onlyanapple.livejournal.com]

Crowley will get his signed sketch of the Mona Lisa. Yes, it's real.

Lorne will get...idk. Something?

Shortpack will get the jetpack Forge mad him.

Hodgins will get the weird scarab beetle thing Goodman made him in The Guy in the Fallout Shelter

Wybie will get the creepy-ass Little Coraline (http://tomopop.com/ul/9392-550x-Coraline11.jpg) So he can dither about BURNING IT or keeping it because he misses his bff.

Oh man, I forgot to do this.

Nill owns nothing and most of her memories of home are bad or missing thanks to the castle... But I think I'm giving her the very first ribbon that she ever got to put in her hair, because it'll remind her of all the good things that came around after Heine saved her.

Zelman already has anything he could ever want except supreme executive power I'm going to step into headcanon for a moment and get him something that belonged to his sire, Asura. Probably like... An oldschool coat or a doofusy scarf or something. For the memories... ;;

...Sadly, the first things that come to mind for Sylar are either the pair of scissors he stabbed Mummy with, or the paperweight he killed that first telekinesis guy with. Why so morbid, brain?

[encryptedlock]

Seth could get some tribal artifact to signify manhood, maybe? Or something with the illustrations of the first wolves/spirit warriors or something?

[plonks.livejournal.com]

Ohhh :O That could be interesting! I think I'll go look up some legends sometime tonight when I'm not... suppose to be doing something else BD; And I'll see if there's anything neat like that I could give him :D

Thanks ♥

And because my wifey is the best thing ever ♥

Merlin's present-



... the staff, obviously. Not the old man.

River says CAKE FOR MAL.

[metaknightly.livejournal.com]

Pffffffffff XDD ♥

[metaknightly.livejournal.com]

There's a such thing as a Moonlight Beauty hairpiece?

[metaknightly.livejournal.com]

Now that I think about it, Meta was pretty small, so...

The helm of the original Halberd. It was the size of him... while he was a foot tall.

[leadthedance.livejournal.com]

Hairpiece blessed by the lunar beauty Mani. You get it in the Hunting Mansion on Hard mode. Ups your charging rate by 50%.

..so yes, there is. :)

[heliotroping.livejournal.com]

alskalwe Django's going to be all

WTF

THAT WAS MOTHER'S

WHY DO YOU HAVE IT

[senri.livejournal.com]

Itachi - FAMILY PORTRAIT with him and Sasuke in happier times?

[rutilusregina.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking Kallen would get her gurren key since while she can't pilot it, it sure as heck means a lot to her.

Unless somebody can think of something cooler I'm game. =O

[rutilusregina.livejournal.com]

I was thinking maybe a picture of all the winchesters together maybe (including mom)? I think it'd be better for Sam or his dad, but maybe that'd be something I don't know.

That or maybe the demon knife but I don't know about that one either.

[charmandsmiles.livejournal.com]

...I have no idea. :| The castle already gave him his essentials - sonic screwdriver, psychic paper, etc. HALP.

(could he get a cat back from last time? WHERE DID THEY EVEN GO? /forgets)

[stackingthedeck.livejournal.com]

South will be getting her brother's helmet, unless I can think of something else.

[encryptedlock]

That's nice and morbid, there.

[stackingthedeck.livejournal.com]

I knooow. It was the first thing that popped into my mind, though.

[encryptedlock]

Yeah, RvB characters don't exactly have too many personal possessions in canon.

[videres.livejournal.com]

lmao that staff.

[videres.livejournal.com]

CAKE DOESN'T WORK.

[nodoff.livejournal.com]

Tear Grants will, um... IDEFK. Maybe the necklace she gave away in the beginning because Luke was fucking useless they needed to get a ride out of the forest. But I can totally do something else if someone could help me because I am LAME.

The Millennium Earl ... are you guys SURE you want to give him something? Cause all he wants for Christmas is for his dear ol' brother to die and STAY dead. ...okay, well, actually, maybe just a couple more akuma.

Jack Skellington will get, um. I don't know. DAMMIT. He already has Zero. D: SOMEBODY HELP ME. /SOB

Franca Dochley just got here but I think the necklace that Mister gave to her from her father would be cute for her to have.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Funny that's what your brother wants too for Christmas B) At least the brother dying bit.

AND AND - maybe Jack can get the Santa outfit that Sally sewed him?!
