[ Look, City. Look at all these desserts. Cake Pops. Santa Hat Brownies. Snowflake Cupcakes. Sugar Pavlova. Peppermint milkshakes. Pinecone Cheeseballs. Mmm. Diabetes in the making. You can totally tell the chef hates you all and hopes you suffer. ]

[ 'Li' hovers closeby, a little smudge of flour on his cheeks, smiling sweetly like he couldn't be a bigger replica of the Pillsbury Doughboy if he tried. And he is trying. So hard. Not an ounce of cynicism in sight. ]

Just wanted to let everyone know. We have some great desserts at Cafe Satine, if you're in an early Holidays mood. [ He glances away for a moment, creating a pink icing rose in an easy motion. Adds it to a half-decorated cake, before continuing, ] You know, I read somewhere that Christmas originates from an old Roman holiday called Saturnalia. They say it was all about property damage, debauchery and a hideous human sacrifice. Oh. And naked singing from house to house.

[ Pause ]

I have no idea if it's true or not. But it makes you wonder how some things can start out so [ typical to human nature ] wild, and end so [ sugar-coated and distorted ] wholesome.

[ He shrugs it off with a shy laugh. ]

Anyway. Didn't mean to ramble. I hope everyone's doing well this week.

[ A parting nod, and the feed ends. WELL? WHAT'RE YOU WAITING FOR? COME BUY SOMETHING. ]

[ OOC: Hei will be disappearing after tonight for his canon update. He'll return on the 20th or 21st, so be sure to get all the fudd you can from him x3 ]

Please take note.

The geese you may see are here for you. The paperwork has gone through to assure that one (1) goose egg, gold, will be exchanged for one (1) good from your homeworld.

Any forgeries will be caught.

Kindly bring it to the kiosk in the square for your exchanges.

Thank you for your time and happy winter holiday of choice.


[ooc: Okay! For:

13; Six Geese a'Laying
Geese are flapping around the City and they are laying eggs made of gold. Yes even the boys. Snatch one of these gold eggs and bring it to the Deities who can trade the gold for a Christmas gift from home! But geese wrangler beware, these geese are really really really mean when you try and take their eggs. [Gift restrictions apply, we'll be more specific closer to the curse!]

The rules are: all trades must be of something mundane and relatively small (nothing magical, or anything that could change the entire City like a bomb or a spaceship!) that exists in the character's world - photos, furniture, sentimental objects, jewelry, small electronics like computers, things like that are all fair game! Pets are okay as long as the pets are not sentient characters in and of themselves (so no Lunas from Sailor Moon, for instance!). One goose egg per character. The deities will be wheeling and dealing in here!]

[Someone's obviously been fighting with the geese. The Master has feathers clinging to his hair and suit, and there are even a few rips in the tailored fabric. He has a splendid bruise blossoming on one cheek and a bloody lip, but he still seems remarkably cheerful about everything - possibly because he's also holding a golden egg.]

Does anybody need a goose for their Christmas dinner? I'd hate for it to go to waste.

[Gazelle gives a cheeky grin when the device first turns on, feathers stuck all over her hair and clothing, sitting close but not too close to a bunch of relaxed nesting Geese. And most notably, she seems proud of herself.]

Oi! If anyone else doesn't want these birds to have an egg somewhere, then quickly bring them to this area of the Zoo. They really seem to like it for some reason. [She moves the device around for a moment to all these Geese spread out around a small pond laying eggs like no one's business to show people what to look for and then back to herself.]

Or ask me! I'll bring them here too... unless they already had an egg. You shouldn't go near them then.

They're kind of like Chocobos. [Guess who is sitting on the floor of his apartment with a goose in his arms.

And that's not even the weird part.

The goose doesn't seem to mind.]

I think I'll name it Aeron. That's a tough name. [Zack grins down at the bird.] You're pretty tough, aren't you? I saw you bullying some of the other geese. Don't lie.

[The goose turns his head away from the camera huffily. Yet he doesn't leave Zack's lap.

Clearly this is a broship.]

[There's a rustling of branches and then the very angry honking of geese complete with wing rustling.]


Stupidfucking geese. I'll have you all for dinner if I could!

[Hey. Guess who's up in a tree again...?]

[ The device switches on just as Stiles starts throwing things at the very angry goose in the Anti-Scooby Gang shack's door. The view is obscured by the couch, but his projectiles are pretty obvious. First a shoe, then a book, then his jeep keys. The bird just flaps its wings and hisses--. ]

Did you just freaking hiss at me? C'mon, I've fought the Kanima. You're like - like a weirdly sinister Big Bird. [ Snapping at Stiles' keys with its beak. ] Can't you smell danger you big ugly jewelry laying freak? [ Mimicing an accent. ] Can't stop here, this is wolf country.

[ Ugh, his life is just full of hideous and egotistical animals. ]

 So the geese, do we get in trouble if we kill them?  If not I caught tea!  But I'm not plucking it, I got enough feathers in my hair already.  

[Isaac holds up a goose on one hand, in the other is holding one of the golden eggs.  He also has a ridiculous number of feathers in his hair and also what might be a small amount of blood]

So who knows how to get the rest of the feathers out?  

[Raikov certainly isn't about to show people how he's getting eggs so the video remains centered on his beautiful face. Too bad what he's about to ask makes it obvious]

Can you still exchange eggs even if.. the goose has become resently deceased?

[ feathers poofed everywhere as Diva gently brushed them away from her mouth, flecks of blood staining her cheek. ]

Vicious little things, aren't they?

[ They tried so hard, they did. But Diva is Diva. One little goose wasn't going to ruin her mood. No, not in the least. If they're inclined to attack, she'll just attack them first. And as for that egg?

Junk. ]

[Hatter is sitting on a bench in Xanadu holding one of the golden eggs that seem to be the thing of the day.]


They really aren't all that hard to acquire if one has the proper...talent. Although, it really is rather useless as far as this One is concerned. [There's a rather disappointed sigh.] What this One wants can not be acquired by wishes or trades.
