At night, in the full moon, a monstrous door opens its huge eyes and groans softly in motion. The ground cracks beneath its massive stone feet as it moves forwards, enough for a person to slip through. In the dim of The Grey Tower’s entrance, a slender shadow emerges and steps with not sound into the night air. He makes his way to the massive monument, an obelisk of onyx, etched with the words of law and stands before it.
From the flowing cloak wrapped around him, he pulls out a wooden sign, and stakes it before the monument. Words have been carved into it, and this is what they read.
” Greetings Rosin,
It is a tradition in many forms and cultures in this world, that during this time of the year, people gather together to be with loved ones. They share good times and cheer, but most of all exchange gifts to one another to express their love for each other. As a part of this world, I thought Toxicity could enjoy such an event.
There for I have given you all the opportunity to give and receive a gift. If you participate in this event, you will be eligible to receive a gift. Those that wish to participate, place your hand upon the obelisk before you. Your name will be then taken, and added to a list. When the list is complete, you will be sent a name of another Rosin on that list. It is your duty then to find them a gift, worth giving to them.
The name should be kept secret until the 25th day of this month. The gifts are to be surprises, and a game as to who is getting who a present. You may gather the gift by looking at the items in the Mall, speaking to Sparks of an idea you wish created, or writing a detailed request and handing it to the construct that guard the doorway into the tower.
All gifts then should be gift wrapped and handed to Sparks. If you cannot wrap it yourself, please request this from any construct; they can do so for you.
These gifts will be handed out to their owners on the 25th day of this month, where their will be a party to celebrate this event. It will be held before this monument in the park. Food, drink and entertainment shall be provided for all that attend.
Enjoy this festive season”
With the task done, the figure looks to the monument and holds out his hand as if motioning for something to stop. As if on command, what appears as a hundred small impish demons of the deepest of black rush from the shadows. Each cry out in small hisses of agony, fearful of what each carry… a glowing colored light. With a flap of wing and stampede of feet. The flock over the monument like vermin on a carcass, then as the figure lowers his hand, they vanish, like smoke on the wind.
The monument now glows with a hundred lights, like a small Christmas tree. It seems though the figure’s task is not complete. Stretching out his hand once more, the shadows creep into his grasp and begin to form solid. A bow forms into his hand, and he grips it firmly. Reaching once more into the folds of his cloak, he draws a single arrow, appearing to be made of ice. Notching it into the bow’s string, he aims the arrow to the sky and fires it like a star returning home. With that he turns and walks towards the tower, slipping inside silently once more.
The door makes its way back to its hole, closing up the confines of the tower. And as it clicks into place, a small white flake falls to the ground and is soon joined by many. It is not long from then, that Toxicity begins to snow.

Christmas Party!
Erected in the middle of the park is a large red tent, decorated in blinking lights of many colours. There is a snowless path all the way to the opening inside, a fold away flap that opens and closes as people enter and leave. If any happen to notice, over the doorway hangs a bunch of mistletoe. Inside the tent is very warm, as at the north and sound ends sit two fireplaces with lounge chairs nearby.
In the middle lays a long hard oak table with many throne like chairs, cushioned in red velvet. A feast awaits all who enter, on the table, roasted meats and vegetable, fruits, breads, pies, more than any could care to eat. There is another table to the side, holding many sweet treats and two bowls, one with hot chocolate, another with punch. DJ Rock stands to one corner, quietly playing two violins in tune to many carols. Two other constructs stand by, one in a chef's uniform, another as a butler, ready to serve those that ask.

Ora wonders into the park bundled up to the chin in coats and scarves. While he wasn't quite sure why he opted into going to the cold snow he knew there would be good food and though it would be worth it. Looking around for somewhere to huddle until others showed up, the dragon decided to meander towards said food. One cauldren steamed in the cold and attracted his attention. Sniffing the steam and tasteing it with a few flicks of his tounge, Ora identified the apples but couldn't work out the twist. With a shrug he decided to try the apple cider anyways.
The first sip almost burnt his tounge. Wow it was hot! Blowing on the steaming cup however soon cooled it down to drinkable levels and he liked the way the hot apple drink warmed him up and vowed to shair the news when everyone was around. With a second cup of cider in hand he wandered over to the swings nearby and sat on one, lazily swaying to and fro and enjoying his warming drink.

Nice and warm in his coat and boots (but having already lost the gloves to some messy corner of his room), Akoni made his way toward the mysterious tent with Ty following. Today was the big day... maybe ? The young gila monster wasn't the best with dates. Anyway there was a tent that hadn't been there the day before, and it was enough to warrent exploration.
He peeked into the tent and saw a whole lot of yummy things ! And the smells... oh, the smells ! His tail wagged at an incredible speed as he made his way directly torward the table with the hot chocolate. This was drawing him in most of all, and it was a good thing because he was starting to get a bit cold.

Forlornly, a young girl sat on the edge of the fountain, scanning the area with large red eyes. She didn't really know anyone, but was nervously eager to do so. With one hand out, she brushed over the snow. It was one of her favorite things.
As the two boys entered the park, she slowly stood up, brushing off her skirt and smiling shyly. Perhpas they would come over here? What if they didn't?
Fingering the small beads of mistletoe in her hair, the Mistletoe Rosin stepped onto the path, putting herself out there.

After serving himself a cup of hot, chocolatey goodness, most of Akoni's focus went to drinking said cup and savoring the taste. Hmm, perfect !
As he did so, Ty sniffed around and, upon catching an unusual smell, the dog slowly padded his way to the mistletoe girl, sniffing at the base of her dress, tail wagging.
It took a moment for Akoni to notice that his trusty companion was gone, and a look around to notice the girl. Grinning from ear to ear, the little gila took another cup full of hot chocolate and went her way.
"Hello ! Want some hot chocolate ?" He asked, tail wagging at the same speed than the dog's did as he held the cup toward her. "Don't let Ty scare you, he's nice and he like people. Im Akoni, you are ?"

The smile was quick and delighted, as the green-haired girl lightly patted the head of the dog, scritching his ears. "Thank you for the offer, I'd love to go get some if you will come with me!" It was someone new, new people were always good! Wasn't that the point of this dinner?
It didn't hurt that this was her favorite holiday, either.
"I'm Lihanma. You can call me Li if my full name is too much!" Stamping her feet lightly to keep the snow off, she entered the warm tent with the first person she'd met. Well. First Rosin, at least. The Nameless One had been there, and a few Constructs she'd had to meet.
"Don't you just love this time of year? It's so beautiful outside!" Though she did make sure to step wide of the copse of mistletoe. It may be her plant, but she had NO desire to be caught up in the symbolism.

Thanksfully so, in fact, since, clueless as he was, Akoni waltzed right under the mistletoe without giving a second thought about why the plant was hung there. He didn't know what the plant was, and knew even less about it's meaning.
"It's really really cold and I get really sleepy if I stay outside too long." The gila mused, leading his first friend to the table where the hot chocolate rested. "But I made a snowman and that was really fun !" He grinned, as the golden retriever followed the kids loyaly. "And I made a gift for someone, I hope the person will like it..." This seemed to be his biggest worry.

It was then he spotted other rosen entering in the tents. Ora hopped off the swing and headed back into the tents, happy to stay inside now there were others in there. His stomach growled slightly at the though of the roast so he figured he would grab a plate of meat and then go meet the others. Shuffeling his feet to knock the snow off them the dragon meandered to the tables and grabed himself a plate. Feeling shy all of a sudden he hung back and watched the two as they chattered.

"It gets a little hard to move if I stand in one place for long, but for the most part, I love the snow!" Her enthusiasm was showing as she sipped at a large mug of the chocolatey goodness. Had to be careful though, too warm, and she'd start to wilt. That was never good.
"A gift? What kind of gift?" She'd never gotten a gift. That was an interesting prospective, and she wondered in passing who it could possibly be. And would she get to meet this person?
Hmmm...
A bit distracted by her surroundings, she noticed the other boy was there as well now. Well. She was a bit braver. Now, that is. Stepping a bit to the side so as to open up their little chat, she made it clear she wouldn't mind extra company.

Ora noticed the other girl looking his way. Picking up his drink he glanced at it, noticing it was mostly empty. The dragon steped forward with a bit of a smile before almost stunbling over the corner of the table. A slight grimice swept over his face as he righted himself and then looked embarissingly at the other rosen to see if they noticed. Making his way safely past the rest of the table, Ora filled in the space that she had left open and nodded a greeting, listening to what they were chatting about. He recognized the gift part of the conversation but kept his mouth shut as the letter had said not to tell anyone and spoil the secret.

"I can't say~" He answered, looking oh-so-very-serious. "It's a secret. That's why they call it a Secret Santa, you see ? No one can know until the presents are given." He shrugged. "It's a person I never met, so im a bit worried. I could make you a present, too, if you want !"
Noticing the other boy finally, Akoni finished his hot chocolate in one glup and started to wave. "Hello !"

Ora waved back with a smile. "Hullo!" The dragon paused, thinking of something to talk about that didn't involve presents. He didn't want to accidentally give his away. "Did you like snow? It very cold and wet but Ora likes a little. Looks pretty." He smiled again as he leaned back, using his tail like a third leg. He was really enjoying the food too but it looked like they had just sampled the drinks for now and he wasnt quite sure they would like the same things as him; the plant-looking girl especially so. The other lizard might though and he pondered upon that for a moment.
