Happy Holidays!

[paradisamods]

As of Saturday morning, the penguins and polar bears have moved out of the castle. The icy furniture has been slowly thawing until now, when the ice is completely gone. Watch out for slippery puddles! Here's hoping you took pictures of that gorgeous sky, because the aurora lights have now retired for the season. The snow, on the other hand, will linger a bit longer.

With Christmas just a day away, it's also time for the castle to give back to its residents. Paradisa will give each resident one gift this holiday season. What will it give? That's up to you!


You may give your character one (1) item/small companion from home.
-OR-
You may give your character a free loss change, no strings attached.


Here are a few simple guidelines to follow when deciding on your characters' gifts:

1. The item in question may not be larger than a motorcyle. This means no large-scale animals, robots, or mansions.
   
2. If a weapon is chosen, it may not be a weapon capable of mass destruction. Blades and handguns with sentimental meaning are fine, but let's avoid doomsday devices and the like.
   
3. Companions may be small animals/creatures or mounts. They may not be specific people, types of people, or sentient beings.
   
4. If you choose to utilize the loss change, your character will regain whatever the castle initially took from them. However, it will take something else in its place. How they discover this is at your own discretion.
   
5. Loss changes must still be approved by the staff. Post your requests in the thread below and a staff member will review them.
   

You may use this post to sort out your characters gifts. If you have any questions, feel free to ask here.

Happy Holidays! May you and yours have a fun and safe one!

I've been thinking about changing Simon's loss for a while, since without River, his current one (forgetting how he broke her out of the Academy and what's wrong with her brain) his entire motivation is gone. Anybody who knows canon have any ideas? I'm thinking of a few but I'm open for more suggestions...

-His ability to do surgery (he'd have to have some kind of physical consequence happen if he tries, like his hands shake so badly he can't hold a scalpel)
-Losing some kind of other medical knowledge/ability
-Memories of his parents (including the fact that they disowned him)
-Memories of the events of a certain episode or even the movie ("Safe", when he first found acceptance, or remembering that two of his crewmates are dead and that he got together with Kaylee... lots of possibilities here)
