All I Want For Christmas Is Calhoun

[vivariummods]

Well, it's yet another day of AB Rounds. For anyone keeping track, it's been three days since their second Calhoun Hour event, so they're back to playing in these terrible puzzle rooms. Calhoun even calls everyone to the second floor so time to trek along... But instead of finding a brand new set of doors, everyone will find... Christmas decorations? A small Christmas tree in the centre, obnoxious flashing lights on the walls, a table full of food, and is that a snow machine in the corner? There's even holiday-themed songs playing, such as 'All I Want For Christmas Is Calhoun', 'Joy to Calhoun', 'Silent Test Subjects', and, of course, 'We Wish You A Merry Betrayal'. (Well... mostly holiday-themed. At least they have the same tune, so if you can just ignore the lyrics, it'll be close enough.) Dressed in a Santa Claus outfit, Calhoun sits in a large red chair in the back and yells at everyone to come closer. He strokes his fake beard (which... he put over his gas mask...) as he speaks. "Meeeeeerry Christmas, test subjects! Welcome to my holiday party! Because I'm such a saint, I took it upon myself to spread some cheer and joy into you dull bunch. You're so depressing sometimes, I have to wonder who died," he snickers to himself. "Anyway! I'm pushing back the Ambidex Rounds by a few days. I know, I know, I'm disappointed too! But I'm only one mouse, so you can't rush these things. So, you can have this party in the meanwhile." "Also, since it's Christmas, I'm letting everyone choose one gift for themselves and their beeeeestest friend. Of course, I have final say on whether you can get it or not, so don't get your hopes up, but Lord Calhoun, just how do I get these gifts, you may say. It's quite simple! Just sit on my warm lap and tell me how kind and giving I am, then you can have your present! Isn't that nice?" "So, get to it! Hee-ho-ho!"

EVENT STATIONS

[vivariummods]

【 CRAFT'S TABLE 】

A long table full of all the arts and crafts material such as paint, scissors, glitter, dried macaroni, glue, etc. Characters are allowed to use this station to create gifts for one another, even if the end product will always look like a fourth grader made it.

【 DECORATE THE TREE 】

Exactly what it says on the tin. It's not a very large tree, so characters should be able to decorate most of it without a problem (though teamwork might be needed to put the star on top, since it's decently high up). There are the typical decorations, but also... Hanukkah Christmas tree decorations? Someone should explain to Calhoun how this works.

【 FOOD 】

Characters will find whatever kind of food you'd have during Christmas, no matter what culture it's from. If you character wants it, it's there, including alcohol. As a bonus, nothing here will be disastrous to a character's health. They can eat it and feel just fine, so don't go blaming Calhoun if you get sick from overeating or anything.

Extra: One lucky character who takes a slice of cake will find a Calhoun coin in it and they can get themselves an extra gift, or give it to someone else. Let us know OOCly here if your character is eating a part of the cake by December 23 at 11:59PM EST. The mods will randomly generate the winner the day after (or whenever everyone gets in) and let them know through a comment.

【 MISTLETOE 】

These little bastards are hung almost everywhere, so anyone can easily find themselves under one, even if they didn't mean to. Characters are not allowed to get out of this, as if they refuse to kiss, they will be promptly drugged with Soporil β, knocking them unconscious. Characters will be warned of this by Calhoun running up to them, should they try to walk away, so... pucker up?

【 SANTA CALHOUN 】

Sit on the great Santa Calhoun's lap. Tell him what you want for Christmas and if you've been a good or naughty test subject. That or just tell him that Halloween was just a two weeks ago, that he's saying ho-ho-ho wrong (he's laughing hee-ho-ho instead), that his choice in music sucks, he should take off his gas mask, and that he has this whole thing just plain wrong.

【 SNOW MACHINE 】

One of these suckers is running in the corner of the floor. It's not producing a large amount of snow, but good enough to set an atmosphere and probably get into a snowball fight.

【 UGLY SWEATERS 】

In another corner, there is a box full of the world's ugliest sweaters. They may be Christmas themed or just hideous in general. Either way, they're itchy and hot to wear. It's not mandatory for characters to wear them, but should they do, they can keep it after the event.

Note: Characters are only allowed to take one sweater. They can switch as many times as they want during the event, but they will not be able to switch after and only take the one they were wearing last.
