 where NHC Shopping District
when a week before 12th Perigee's Eve
It's beginning to look a lot like 12th Perigee's Eve...It's that time of the sweep again! Decorated with boughs of spikefronds and glittering lights and decor, the New Hemisect Shopping District is well prepared for the season! Even with the constant and ominous presence of the military's watchful eye, young and old gather in the area for fun, lighthearted festivities revolving around the upcoming holiday.
The string of shops with brightly lit windows entice to spend all the beetles on loved ones and fight tooth and nail for that last barbee. Street vendors offer hot liquids such as hearty soups and sweetened beverages to bring comfort and combat against the wintry cold. A once wide-open square in the middle has now been converted into an outdoor ice rink, where one can rent a pair of skates and embrace the cool sensation of frostbite on their rumpus while others skate circles around them. Simply strolling around the vicinity to take in the mirthful atmosphere, trolls can stumble upon a quiet, mini oasis and escape temporarily from the hubbub of the city. The garden is full of winding paths and diverse plant-life with a variety of light displays twinkling and dazzling, drawing out ooooo's and ahhhh's from onlookers. If one is willing to pay a pretty beetle and impress their peers, they can opt for a carriage ride pulled by magnificent and elegant hoofbeasts through the area.
If a troll is lucky (or perhaps unlucky?) enough, they may find themselves underneath some mistlefrond with another troll, encouraged by tradition to share a tender smooch- or a fist to the face. Or both!

 A troll style game that brings merriment and quarrel, where you
covet your fellow troll''s stuff and attempt to steal it.
'Tis the season! Quote: 
In front of a popular NHC salon in the heart of the shopping district is a peculiar table, the banner lining across saying "White Tuskbeast Gift Exchange" in bold, festive colors. On the surface is a lined piece of paper and a large jar, inside an assortment of hemospectrum colored candycanes. A freckled yellowblood in a goofy looking hat that jingles and an over-sized holiday sweater sits idle behind, chin resting in her hand as she taps a pen in her other rhythmically. Despite a bright yellow sniffnode from the nipping cold, Elidae Bonbon is donning a jovial smile, perking up at every troll who takes interest in her makeshift booth. Any troll curious enough to approach gets a peppy explanation.
"So like, yeah! Just sign up over here- oop! here! sorry sorry, here's the pen- and then bring me a gift of your choosing. Doesn't have to be fancy or- n-nooo! Of course your lusus' droppings don't count as a gift! Silly! Anyways. I'll then assign each gift and participant a number! Your gift will be the one with the corresponding number. Got it? After everyone gets their gift, people can steal it if they want it! Each gift can be stolen 5 times before it can't be stolen again and its yours to keep! After everyone has their gift, we'll all open them together to see what we all fought for! Heheh!"
As for any troll staying wary of her radiating cheer... "Heeeey! Don't you wanna participate? It'll be fuuun~!" She calls, waving her arms frantically to beckon over. Pausing, she takes note of the unconvinced and then heaves a huge breath. She yells even louder. "You get a forty percent off coupon for the salon if you join! ... and a candycane!!"

blackbird cake I'm Feeling The Spirit of 12th Perigee's Eve!Username: Micillia Troll: Caiden I agree to play nice and fully participate: Buzzwulf Caiden is inviting his "muse," Engrav. Just FYI wink Caiden was running through this fancy new building he found. It was big, it was shiny, and now it had several walls painted in bright pink and purple. Apparently that was not really something the security guards were into, and Caiden had enacted CamoDad's elite training methods when confronted with big scary drone conflict. RUN. CamoDad had instructed Caiden to meet up with him outside the mall in a secret spot, which was where the brownblood was going before he saw a flashy, pretty sign. All of CamoDad's training flew from the young troll's head. There was a thing, and it had to do with presents! "Woooooah!" Exclaimed the child as he saw the troll in the goofy hat. "Is there going to be hats like that there? Can i come? When is it?!?" The questions flew out of the troll's mouth at the speed of light. Surly if they were not answered soon, more were to come.

He quickly scrawled his name in a rather fancy looking cursive , letting his hair fall a bit in his face to obscure the blue tinting his cheeks from such absurd notions. He straightened and offered the pen to Caiden, staring at him thoughtfully. Hm....definately not as well dressed. He looked back to Elidae, eyes firmly on her boots. "Those are in excellent taste," he added, perhaps feeling he was a little harsh with his shut-down of the hat.blackbird cake I'm Feeling The Spirit of 12th Perigee's Eve!Username: LordPocky Troll: Zariah Rutace I agree to play nice and fully participate

blackbird cake I'm Feeling The Spirit of 12th Perigee's Eve! Username: Buzzwulf Troll: Engrav Setlar I agree to play nice and fully participate: Yes New Hemisect was bright, bright and flashy and mostly cold. Engrav was out here to find something shiny for Morrimom now that 12th Perigree's Eve was rolling around. She tended to be grumpy around then. Actually, she was always grumpy, but shiny stuff definitely seemed to help. "How about the mall? You want something bright and shiny, yeah?" Morrimom looked at the mall suspiciously, but nodded. They'd at least look for some sort of bauble or something that wasn't too many beetles - maybe even overhear a conversation or two. It looked like the drones around the mall were all excited about something, but Engrav wandered through without any fuss. Weird. Wandering by, he noticed a booth with a lot of fancy decoration and a teen in a very fine hat. "Wow." he looked at Morrimom. "That what you're looking for? Not bright enough? Oh well." He was about to wander by when he noticed who else was at the booth. "You! What are you doing here?" Engrav's eyes went wide as he stared at Caiden. "I knew it. You're following me! What do you know?" He turned wild-eyed to the obviously innocent bystander. "Don't listen to a word he tells you." Engrav whispered under his breath to the blueblood standing there. "He's crazy! Nuts! I'm Engrav, by the way. Nice to meet you. I'm not crazy. Not crazy even a little."

 Caiden had eagerly taken the pen from the blueblood, and continued asking questions as he scrawled his name onto the paper. "Are you gonna be there mister? Whatcha gonna bring? Oh i am SO excited!!" It wasn't long before Caiden heard the other troll, a troll he even knew before. The surprise meeting sent the brownblood into an even more excited state. He dashed towards the yelloblood, his shoes still leaving footprints of wet paint on the mall's pristine floor. "ENGRAV!" Came the high pitched boy's scream of delight. This was his butterfly! This was his muse. "You have GOT to come to this thing!" The brownblood continued, grabbing hold of his butterfly and attempting to drag him over to the sign up table.

Miache watched the two, a small smile forming. Sure enough, yellowbloods never ceased to amuse him in one way or another. He nodded again to the troll handling the sign-ups before pausing to watch the two. They were a rather comedic duo, he would admit that.
"Hm...I think I've recently grown fond of a little bit of crazy," he stated, bringing a hand to rest on his chin. Then again....he'd spent far too much time with Keionx to not allow for at least a little insanity. She was a little....exhausting at times to deal with. "And not to worry, my gift will be quite an impressive one," he said, clearly proud of his well-thought out gift. It had taken a great deal of thought to decide AGAINST making a care package of cleaning supplies...while it WAS the most practical it wasn't exactly in the spirit he supposed. Plus, if someone with a plethora of supplies received it (such as himself) he could see it being a disappointment of a gift.
As the brownblood dragged Engrav over to the table he stepped aside, eyes warily on the paint that trailed him, careful not to get any on himself. "I am Miache," he added politely, still eyeing the two curiously. In all honesty he was a little interested to see what shenanigans they would get up to.

blackbird cake I'm Feeling The Spirit of 12th Perigee's Eve! Username: Saihen Troll: Azrael Mortis I agree to play nice and fully participate: just say yesYES
The city was a really nice place to be, lately it seemed like he'd been there a lot more than his own home. The mall was a nice place to find interesting subjects to study. After a couple hours of this he decided to wander the mall a bit and to his delight came across Elidae and an event, with gifts. Seems like she had a game in mind? Well, he was going to make something extra special for this, just adding it to the list of gifts he was going to give this year.
Azrael couldn't pass up something like this. It was a game of suspense and anyway, it was run by his dear friend Elidae he wouldn't pass up the moment to spend some time with her if he could. He waved to her with a grin. "Looking forward to the event Elidae, Seems like it ought to be fun, at least it's already drawn some interesting guests," Though, it looked like the pen was in use. He did his best to sneak by without knocking any of the younger trolls over and pulled out one of the pens he had in his pocket. The blueblood then signed his name with his crisp and tidy handwriting and then turned his attention to the three other trolls.
Though he was wary of his fellow blueblood. The troll didn't look like much of a danger, but he found bluebloods like himself were often difficult to deal with. "Good evening,", He said shoving one hand into the pocket of his parka and then waving the hand with his sketchbook in greeting to the three. "Glad to see it so lively over here," he gave a very gentle smile and let his arm drop to his side

Wiggling in her seat, Elidae Bonbon danced along to a very catchy holiday classic playing as background noise for the area. No one had approached yet, but that didn't mean she wasn't bubbling with excitement. The game was all her idea, a simple way to promote herself as a newly certified hairstylist at the salon. Also a way to enjoy the holiday and meet new trolls. Her idleness soon disappeared when she was abruptly accompanied by a tiny. babbling troll. Immediately perking up, Elidae jumped to life. She loved his spirit!
"Oh-? Well, maybe! If someone wants to gift a hat! And- ah-?" Elidae laughed nervously as the brownblood continued to question her, shaking her head. Before she could answer him, a rather stiff appearing blueblood approached, making a rather snide comment about her festive hat. Of course, Elidae didn't bother to take it personally and let it fly over her head unnoticed. She tilted her head with a huge grin to let the bells jingle, watching the elegant teen take the pen and scrawl on the paper with the brownblood excitedly pestering him. She clapped thrice, popping up from her seat. Yes!
"Oooh, thank you so much for joining, ahm-" Quickly spinning around the paper to face her, Elidae caught the name. "Miache! Such nice handwriting, whoa!"
"And oh my goodness, thank you!" Elidae flushed gold at the compliment and instinctively extended her leg and had her boot on the edge of the heel to get a better look, appreciating such nice words from a highblood. "You're too kind! I like the pinstripes." She added, giving him a warm smile. As she lowered herself to sit back in her station, she watched a fellow yellowblood approach, though not for her but the brownblood.
"Oh my..." Elidae blinked in response to the young troll's whispering to the blueblood, putting a hand to her cheek. What about crazy? She gave a sideways glance to Caiden, lips simply curved with raised eyebrows. She suppressed a giggle. Within the banter between the current three at her table, a much more familiar face appeared and Elidae brightened even more.
"Oh, Azrael! Pleasant surprise!! In New Hemisect for...?" She paused, then a sudden mischievous glint sparked in her eyes. "Shopping for anyone special?" Elidae suggested lightly as she leaned over the table with laced fingers, giving a subtle wink. Ever since the blueblood let his feelings for certain trolls slip, the yellowblood became extremely nosy and immersed in Azrael's quad life like she was with her occasional romcom. Except it was with people she knew. Exciting. C'mon, Azrael, give her the juicy details.

Azrael would have expected nothing less of his bubbly lowblood friend. He had confided in her his interest in two specific trolls that she knew. A certain greenblood and tealblood that he'd come to meet at the gala some time back. He flashed her an amused smile, "You caught me Elidae, I did come here for something special actually," he fished around in his pocket a moment and pulled out a flat, square box with 'GOLD' marked in black ink on the front "I came here to pick up some supplies and trinkets I had made for the gifts I have in mind, I... don't like the idea of buying a gift and leaving it at that, I'd feel like I hadn't put in thought into the action," Azrael set his sketchbook on the table and looked around to make sure that no one aside from the yellowblood would see what he was going to show her. When he was sure that no one but possibly the three other trolls were at risk of seeing what he had, the blueblood took off the lid to the box and handed it to the yellowblood to see.
The item in question was the crosshair symbol of a certain greenblood they both knew, or at least a golden replica sat comfortably in the box on a white sheet of fibers. " Do you think this would be alright? I thought a golden color would be a good accent for his particular green, though, maybe I'm going a bit overboard," he bit his lip lightly as he waited for Elidae's response. He figured it was alright to show it off to her since he'd thoroughly questioned Elidae for information before coming to the conclusion that he'd make a necklace of some kind.
He gave her a smile, "outside of that, I have been looking for inspiration and studying," by 'studying' he meant drawing and studying trolls as they passed by. He'd actually been wandering the area for a few hours and the faint blue flush of his nose and cheeks acted as his witness, but he was used to chilly weather and didn't really think much of it."I still have a handful that I have yet to come up with something for,"
Actually, he had something in his unnaturally deep pocket for the yellowblood now that she was here in front of him, but that was still in his hive. "Speaking of which, how long will you be holding this? Or, I mean, how much longer will I find you here?"

Frossa simply cherished this season.
The season of copious gifts and sticky baked goods, of brightly overdone light displays, flashy advertisements, and shopkeeps jacking up their prices while simultaneously claiming 'SALE!' to draw in desperate shoppers. The season of excess. The gluttonous purpleblood relished in it.
"Let's go on a carriage ride." Frossa suddenly interrupted whatever conversation she and Alifax had been carrying beforehand, poking him in the back of his head from her usual vantage point perched atop the redblood's shoulders. It would do him good to get a break from lugging around dozens of shopping bags! Lazily crossing her arms atop the crown of his head, she leaned in between Alifax's horns to glance down at his face. "That could be fun! Don't you think so, darling? Maybe we should think about getting one ourselves." She meant for the FLARP association, naturally- it would make a fine addition to their arsenal of props. But even her little thinkpan immediately drifted to him rolling her and her haul along in an ornate carriage in lieu of his shoulders. Frossa hummed to herself thoughtfully.
"Ooh~!" She straightened up, pointing with a little finger towards a certain perky yellowblood's shopfront. "Isn't that Elidae over there? Let's go!" Frossa nudged Alifax's chest with the heel of her boot.
When they neared the salon Frossa slid gracefully down Alifax's back- she was used to climbing Hippodad, (who waited in the lusi parkade), after all. Elidae herself seemed busy with a flock of children, so Frossa only waved over their heads at her for now. The table she tended to was self-explanatory; presents and free candy. Frossa was in.
Grabbing a fistful of candy canes and two forms, she waved them up under Alifax's nose. "Shall we sign up? We can always go run and buy somethi-" She stopped mid sentence. Frossa blinked twice. Her smile cracked wider, and she slowly withdrew her arm to cover her mouth with the papers.
"Wait. I have an even better idea~." Frossa giggled, glancing down at the one bag she did carry on her persons. Her purse. Returning her gaze back to Alifax, there was a mischievous twinkle in her eye. "Nevermind that bit about shopping before, I have something. What about you?" She doubted he would want to go spend bettles on some stranger. Maybe he had a rock in his pocket or something?

Caiden's neck was getting a workout. Every which way there was something new. Another troll, another word said, another giggle! It was great. Caiden had never been around so many trolls, CamoDad generally liked to keep his troll hidden off in the mountains. Speaking of CamoDad, he was waiting, Caiden should really get back to him. But then this curly haired purpleblood child started making noises and the brownblood was once again distracted. Caiden was still holding onto Engrav's arm. "What are you waiting for?! Come on Engrav sighn up sighn up SIGHN UP!!" With that Caiden put the pen in Engrav's hand and he left his most bestest butterfly at the sighn up table. The brownblood scampered over to where the purpleblood child was riding a redblood teen. "Wooooooah!" He exclaimed once he got close. "Ive never seen so many bags! Are they all yours? Whats in them all? Is that color on your clothes your color? Its sooo pretty! Would you mind if i paint with it? Are you gonna join the gift thing? Whos that guy your ridding? Can i have a ride too?!"

Pausing in his window shopping for a moment, the young greenblood noticed an event going on at the center of the mall. Festive decorations were hung about, advertising the gift exchange. It wasn't long before Machim was inspecting the fabrics of said eye-catching decorations while her charge investigated further. Putting a hand in his pocket, Hazmas strolled into the crowed area and took a look at the event's sign up sheet. Hazmas grinned and looked over at his lusus. "Huh, looks like it's a gift exchange," he said with a grin signed his name.
