Paradisa White Elephant Party
Run by Rose Tyler

Things. Your room is full of them. You've gotten them for various reasons. Accumulating over the days/weeks/months/years you've been in Paradisa. They range from items from a loss, things you thought didn't exist until you wished them up, to leftover items from a World Change, and all of them are taking up space in your room! Don't just throw them away... GIFT THEM AWAY!

Rose Tyler is holding the First Ever Paradisa White Elephant Party! Wrap up those items in the prettiest paper you can think of and get ready to get rid of it! You'll bring your wrapped items to the party and trade them for something else! The trick of it is? You won't know what's inside until the end of the party!

On December 26th, Rose will open up the ballroom to take those gifts (pre-wrapped) and let the trading begin. In exchange for the gift you bring, you'll be taking home something new; during a night that should be filled with fun and chances to meet new people!

How it Works ICly:

Rose Tyler will be making an In Journal announcement inviting everyone to the party. RSVPing to Rose is not needed. She will simply plant the suggestion, and hope for the best. Your character then finds junk they own, wraps it up, brings it to the party, and trades it with someone else.

How it Works OOCly:

Sign up in this post by commenting with the names of all the characters that you wish to participate with.
(Make sure to include them all in one comment, so that I don't have to remember who writes who)

In this post I will assign each of your characters a number. This number is to be used OOCly for identifying the gift they are going to be bringing to the party. The gift itself will not have this number on it, it's just to make that initial connection. You are required to think of what the gift will be, as well as how it is being wrapped. Please do not share this information with anyone.

On December 19th a new post in the OOC will be posted. This post will ask you to comment (it will be screened) with your character's name, gift number, manner of wrapping, and the gift item itself. You will have until Midnight on December 23rd to comment with your information. On Christmas Eve, I will comment back to you with a second set of numbers. These numbers will be for the initial gift you will be looking for, at the party.

In the Ballroom post, which will go up on later in the evening on December 25th, your character should comment with what their individual present is wrapped like. Be as descriptive as you like; from the color of the paper, shape of the package, to the sound it makes when you shake it. (If you are being deceptive with the sound it makes, include that in the OOC post when you mark down what is inside the box; ie: Bells, corn flakes, film canisters) The subject line of your comment should be your gift number. (instructions will be inside the actual post as well)

Then, seek out the number you were given as an initial gift to take from someone. You are welcome to simply keep that item or you can go around looking for other presents. If you want to trade with someone, you must get them to comment and approve the trade. Talk up that still wrapped present, make it seem better than what you have, even though you have no clue what is inside of it.

If you were not part of the initial sign up, and want to see if you can trade with someone regardless, feel free to comment to the OOC post with a "Party Crasher" comment, and simply leave the information about what your present looks like and contains. From there you can attend the ballroom post, and simply put down in your subject line "Party Crasher" to try to get people to trade with you. However, there is a chance that you will still go home with what you came with, since everyone is matched up OOCly initially.

Late in the evening on December 26th, I will return to the OOC post where you all marked down what your items were, and unscreen all of the comments. Everyone will then be welcome to see what they ended up with, and hopefully a good time will be had by all!

tl;dr
- Sign up here with all of your characters that want to participate in a White Elephant Party.
- Think of what they will bring.
- Wait for further instructions; to come on December 19th

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Jun and Alice Cullen will participate! I'm not sure Alice will end up having a whole lot seeing as she's new and all that... but yes!

Edited 2009-12-15 01:13 (UTC)

You can always have her wish something up to bring! The castle can be very accommodating, when providing useless items!

Whatever it is, I'm sure it will be an ostentatious useless item!

Merry Christmas! I'm about to start writing out the post for the White Elephant exchange and I wanted to drop you a comment here with not only a few instructions, but the numbers for the gifts your character will be looking for.

First - Arrivals When everyone arrives at the party Rose will have them put their name into a hat. Everyone will mill about and then when it's time to start swapping gifts, Rose will have everyone draw a name from the hat. This part will be completely implied, because technically everyone is already matched up, and timezones + holidays mean some comments won't go up until tomorrow.

Second - Your Gift Leave a comment with your gift number and character name in the subject line. Technically they drew names, so it's easier if they could call this person by name. The comment should also have ONLY the wrapping description in it. You are only telling people what the box/present itself looks like.

Third - First Swap You have left your comment, so now you need to go look for the person that has your new gift. Find their comment and introduce yourself, take their gift, get some CR, etc. You can keep this gift or...

Fourth - More Swapping Every gift is described in a comment, so feel free to read the other descriptions and see if you'd like to try and trade with someone. Just comment to the person that has the gift now (it should be the first comment to the actual gift description). This way if you want to swap, you can just look to see if someone else is already swapping by looking for the new thread.

Hopefully it won't get too confusing, and if it does, just make a new comment saying "SWAPPING GIFT #23439" in the subject and cut/paste the description.

Now that I've done all that!

Wybie is my most likely candidate for this. So maybe him.

Quick question: is there anything preventing characters from just going in and...stealing the stuff all laid out in the ballroom? It'd be really ooc for Crowley to just let stuff go like that without wanting to take it, or mess the numbers around or do something to confuse everyone in general. So if there's something I can use to prevent him from doing that would be good if you don't want him to meddle with your system. Otherwise, I'll find a way to distract him or..something.

Technically speaking, the gifts won't actually have numbers on them, and they will be held onto by the person looking to exchange. The numbers are going to be for OOC organization only. There won't be piles of presents around, just a bunch of people holding gifts trying to pick someone to trade with.

I'm doing it this way, so that people can build up CR, and try to talk up their gift for those additional trade opportunities.

Ah ok, that wasn't clear in the post. Never mind then.

Sorry about that! I tried to sort the IC stuff away from the OOC stuff, but I'll make sure to clarify it more.

Cool beans :)

Come on, you know Hodgins would box up a bug or something. :P

Just comment to the person that has the gift now (it should be the first comment to the actual gift description). This way if you want to swap, you can just look to see if someone else is already swapping by looking for the new thread.

Hopefully it won't get too confusing, and if it does, just make a new comment saying "SWAPPING GIFT #23439" in the subject and cut/paste the description.

Now that I've done all that!
