Good-will Toward Men

There is a whole world out there to spread holiday joy to. A world of flying cars, and massive towering skyscrapers, of quiet, cold deserts, of snow-covered cities. Everyone in it is either holed up in their homes, hooked into the Links, the network run by Macrohard, abstaining from human contact, or they're poor and destitute, in the streets, and in parts of the world that are ailing right now.

Some of them are due to stop in on specific parts of the world during their journeys. Others are just going to be show generosity to anyone they meet. Every angle has to be covered, every holiday that celebrates generosity and unity, to help stoke the fires and revive the Holiday Spirit.

Pick a place, Meatcrew. Grab some crewmates to help. Make some noise and entice people to leave their VR sets and come outside with their fellow man.

With the magical sacks, containing last of the Spirit's power, they can give anything that's wanted OR needed to the people of this world, and with the enchanted flying cars, they can get anywhere in the world to do it, in no time.

[ooc: Special holiday groups, tag your assigned subthreads (and keeping them in one thread would likely be best, since those groups are small). Whoever feels creative can pick an exact location and set up details--we wanted to give you some freedom to have your characters find where to go. Anyone else, doing Christmas or general gift-giving, tag and make new subthreads for each situation of gift-giving. These can stand alone as vignettes, but we encourage everyone to thread-hop and tag in to random threads. Don't worry about the organization of groups, they'll probably be switching groups all over the place throughout the night.]

Sheik makes a thoughtful sound. "It could encourage them to gather around the..." A brief gesture. "Candle holders. It'd put them in closer contact, at least."

"RIGHT! ON IT!" Slobo said as he ran about, following the lines until he saw what looked like a main feed for a transformer. He yanked a bit, took it between both hands, and bit down, his teeth cutting wires.

The block brownouted immediately, as Slobo himself became a source of light for a few moments, finally dying down, though bits of his hair were still alight. He grinned at the others, giving a weak salute as he fell over backwards.

Don't worry, folks, he'll be fine, this isn't the first time he's done this.

Though it is worrisome that he continues the practice.

Dick really needs a facepalm icon...

"Slobo, wai-" Dick cut off when the power to the neighborhood started failing. He paused, then put his hand over his eyes and counted backwards, muttering, "I swear, his impulse control is as bad as Impulse's..." After a moment, he shook himself. "Good job, Slobo. Come on, everybody. We need to start getting their attention."

"We want their attention?" Pirogoeth said and looked towards one of the windows with a candle holder.

"....I could make suspended flames, like the candle holder."
