Chernobylite arrived on the scene with flair, a Sherlock look-alike coat complete with scarf and popped collar obscuring his uniform. He breezed past he General’s booth with a smile and a nod and didn’t bother to stop. Schmoozing was his thing, he did it all the time. If he could talk his way into a person’s pants, he could talk them out of some of there energy. Granted, normally his targets were drunk, high, stoned, or just generally not thinking clearly, but how hard could it be?
Setting his sights on a willowy, well-dressed young man, Chernobylite drifted over and proceeded to flirt hard and fast. For some odd reason the man took offense at this, jerking away when Chernobylite went to touch him and sneering some rather crude remarks. Instead of finding an easy mark, it would seem Chernobylite had found a bigot, and a closeted one at that; no way a man wearing pants that tight wasn’t gay or in grade school.
Ah, and he was flagged. Of course he was. He'd have to remember the bigot's face and thank him later.

Now be-antlered, Sawyer developed a half-formed plan to acquire as many holiday baubles as he did energy points.
This plan didn't quite pan out when the gay couple he flagged for attempt #2 did not relinquish any festive brooches or celebratory paper hats, but at least he got something out of it as he clapped a hand on one's shoulder as they talked.

There were benefits to the holidays, and the best one was that a lot of places needed seasonal work. Having little luck in the job market, Ladon was getting a nice paycheck bouncing between stores doing whatever seasonal promotions and help they needed while he could. Recently, he had been helping with a department store, and had been given a nice, new uniform.
A short, plush reindeer walked down the snowy aisle, handing out candy canes to small children and adults. The deer, named Jangle, wore a great, open smile that had a black mesh that hid the overheating Wolframite inside. Usually his uniform kept him warm in the winter, but added on to a over-sized deer reindeer costume and he started to feel a bit miserable. He did look cute though, and touched the large, peppermint stripped bow that was tied about his neck and was ended with a name tag that said "Hi, I'm Jangle!"
With each step, the bright, silver bells on his harness would ring, alerting small children to tug their parents arms and come to him. It was good his little side satchel had plenty of peppermints and candy canes, but he started to feel a bit drained under all the weight.
Still, today, he was getting paid and collecting energy. It was win-win!
Walking over to the booth, the great, smiling plush waved to the two officers, but felt a bit confused as to why Ilmenite was not with Zink but with a girl instead. He secretly hoped Zink had found someone better as he never got along with the other officer. Then again, the last time they "talked", Wolframite hadn't been in the best frame of mind.
Everyone A short, plush, smiling reindeer mascot has been spotted.

"It bothers me because I'm going to remember this you at exactly the wrong time, and then it'll bother you, too." Ilmenite patted the seat beside him for Zac to sit, and then -- well, he was caught up in smiling at officers, handing out goodies, offering winks and encouragement, and dealing with the loud complains over his prices from unaffiliated strangers. When the reindeer approached, he went deathly silent -- not quite sure if he actually wanted to engage the creature. Instead, he just slowly pushed some samples across the desk, and tried to muddle over who the hell was inside, going solely off of the sensed power signature. "Uh. Cookies or Carols, your choice.." And he looked uncertain as to which would be more terrifying from a plush reindeer.

This was going decidedly more smoothly than the singles mixer had. With a faint sigh of resignation as he turned away from his last successful target, Sawyer confessed to himself that this was because he was the sort of cute much better suited to handing out cookies than to flirting seductively with strangers.
He'd take what he could get. For the Negaverse! or something.

“Well, then I suppose I’ll have to make sure you can’t think about it.” He replied, for a moment glib about the rather direct comment, but even with an illusion he couldn’t completely keep the slight reddening of his cheeks from his face. Still, he did his best to look as self-assured as the comment implied. Like he’d have any issue out of the public eye after all… The… reindeer was another issue all together. He sat down rather carefully, blinking at the costume. “Huh…” he(She) said after a moment. “… good tactic.” He admitted after a moment. “Does, hide the uniform well.”

The deer waved his mittened had at the offer for cookies or carols and instead dug into his red bag attached to his harness to offer to the officer. A green bow was attached to each cane advertising Bracklies, the nearby department store.
As the girl inspected, he turned to her and was confused. Gripping the base of the head, he lifted it up, exposing the face of a flushed, messy-haired general. "Thanks. Decided to use the job at another advantage. A little hot though." He said, rather proud of the idea. "I thought you'd be with someone else." He said, looking FYI the strange girl than to Ever.

"I am a man of many surprises." It was dry, the curiosity and nervousness melting entirely out of Ilmenite as Wolf's face was revealed. Dark eyes flicked from the general to something beyond him: two Lieutenants who stood nervously talking and whispering, uncomfortable approaching the booth while there were so many Generals there all at once. "Sorry, I think you're scaring off the recruits. If you're joining in the competition, I suggest you get out there and start; the low-ranking kids have already got a heads up on you." He absently beckoned the nervous officers pointedly to help them gather up whatever sweets or supplies they might need.

Ugh, carols. Avalon didn't want to spend much time handing things out, her salesperson mojo wasn't that strong. But she knew she had an okay voice, and she could hope that her combination of knee-length coat (the only thing long enough to hide her actual coat) and scarf would, um... look... festive? Right? She gathered some music sheets from Ever at the booth and, uh...
She guessed she wasn't much for music before, whoever she'd been, because these music notes made no sense. At all.
Still... it was worth a try. Right?

Cinnabar could feel other officers infiltrating the crowds as she was doing now and a flash of competitiveness ran through her. WELL. Let them try to keep up with her then...
Her smile feral, the new lieutenant scanned the crowd for a likely target and swayed over towards a man who appeared to be on his own. He seemed flustered at the sensual smile she offered him, a hand lifting to stroke his arm as she pulled him into conversation. The touch not only served to draw him in, but also to pull a bit of energy from him without his notice. He might have felt a wave of tiredness, but he was far more focused on the woman who was holding his attention.
As much as Cinnabar disliked men in general, this was prey, meant to be fed on. She could play the seductress for a little while, as long as she kept getting what she wants.

His singing mood was gone as he slunk away, but it was only replaced with hot anger, as he looked into the crowd, looking for the man that had heckled him and seeking to do something about it. Scott would have flown a few hurtful words back at the heckler before slinking away with shame, but Vespa would have none of it.
It was remarkably easy to find the jerk, as he looked to be heckling another caroler. It was also easy to simply walk up to him unopposed, grab his arm and give it a tight squeeze, succeeding in gathering his energy and getting his attention as he sneered. "Don't ruin other people's holiday cheer."
Before he could retaliate, Vespa released him, taking his energy and storming away. It was... successful. He managed to not mess this up. Perhaps there was hope for him in the Negaverse after all.

"Why don't we stay together for now, hmm? I know it's a competition, but I don't see why it can't be friendly." Erythrite laughed. She was wearing her usual uniform, though she'd slid a longer-sleeved jacket on and some warm tights over her fishnets. "I'll catch up in a bit, actually," she said, sliding away from the corrupt for a moment. She walked over to a young man and casually leaned on him for a moment, but he gave her a very strange look and darted away before she had a chance to drain any energy.
"Oh, damn it." Maybe picking up some cookies and cocoa from Ilmenite would be a good idea.Energy: 0 Flags: 1

Well, okay, so that didn't go so badly! Avalon perked up a little and couldn't help but smile, proudly. She drifted away from home base, because even if she was totally mangling this song, people did seem distracted enough for her to get energy from it.
Near a booth populated by an old woman and an alarming variety of knitted potholders (in the pattern of various cute animals), she stopped her wandering and started up singing again. Maybe this crowd would be just as receptive!

Aw, how cute... his name was David and he was shopping for a christmas present for his niece. Cinnabar plastered a sickly sweet smile on her face as she laced her arm in his and strolled with him down the aisle. Any hint of interest from her and he was happy to babble on about the inane details of his life, telling her all about his dog and his car and his brother's family.
Frankly, it made her want to puke. Idiot. She entertained herself with mental images of going to that house and smashing that car up with a baseball bat, and then tossing gasoline on the house and watching it all burn to the ground in a blaze of fire... fire that spread down the street and consumed his brother's house, turning his little girl's toys to ash.
Her mind wandered so much in her fantasy that he had to jiggle his arm to get her attention back and she plastered another smile on her face, simpering something like 'aw, how sweet' to get him going again. She was going to drain him of every last drop of energy, and enjoy every agonized gasp.

The going was good! Avalon felt confident that she was doing well, and that was aways the difference, right? Believe in yourself and all that stuff. She'd finished the one side and she flipped the page to see what other songs she'd picked up.
Except this time, the old woman seemed to be looking at her oddly, and she hurried off quickly.
