Another extended rapid-fire calendar! This time because Christmas is on Sunday and the end of Hannukah is on Monday, and we want everyone to have a chance to do whatever scenes they'd like for holiday stuff without having to actually be present during the busiest time of the year! A warning though, this rapid fire could fill up quickly, so pls don't forget to keep watching it during the week to see all of your lovely writing. Also the Admin office has sent out polite notices that a few happy surprises have been planned the week leading up to the holiday, so please don't be alarmed if things seem changed. It's not powers going wacky or the school under attack, it's something actually nice they're trying to do for you!
12/17 - Secret Santas get passed out! (pls see OOC header in this post). Last day of school before Winter Break -- classes resume on Jan 9! The only slightly-darker, curious note for this calendar: the book retrieved from Limbo suddenly is able to be read by members of the coven who went to retrieve it. Certain sections are still only translatable by Sapna, but others are as easy to read for them as English. What's revealed are largely spells, and while most aren't dark (spells for strength, prosperity, love, protection, etc), there are a few peppered without that cause harm, keep enemies away, and are made for active attacks. Once you start reading, it's...just a little hard to stop. And the spells are very tempting; not enough to cause concern though...yet.
12/19 - The cafeteria for the rest of the week has transformed with a bit of Harry Potter-style magic; the ceiling looks open and clear, a pretty day/evening with pleasant drifts of snow falling. None of it reaches anyone, and it's not cold, but it's a nice atmosphere. Cafeteria workers begin routinely offering free candy canes, hot chocolate, cider, gingerbread, and so on as people pass through the lines. There are holiday decorations mixed throughout, in a sort of slapdash manner -- everything's all mixed together, but it all looks nice in a way that hints at the planning behind it.
12/20 - An official outing for the school gets underway -- anyone wanting to come is escorted into the city for a day of sight-seeing, ice-skating, toy-shopping, Santa-visiting, and so on. Basically any fun Christmas thing going on is visited!
12/21 - A massive snowball fight/Capture the Flag is set up on the back lawn. Drifts have been moulded into barricades to hide behind, caches of pre-made snowballs are hidden around, etc. Camelot-ites are headed back to Otherworld for a week of festivities for Breki and Atashi's wedding! Brian is able to port anyone in and out that would like to stop by.
12/22 - The hedge maze is lit up with all sorts of light sculptures and decorations. There are speed races to get through while retrieving various hidden things -- ornaments, baubles, tiny stuffed snowmen, and so on. There is a promise that there is nothing creepy inside, and lowkey there are teams monitoring it from all angles, while staying out of sight. Nothing bad happens in there except for people maybe getting a bit lost!
12/23 - The Danger Room all day and evening is changed into what looks like a Grand Hall. Holiday snacks and drinks are set up, lots of comfortable couches, chairs, bean bags, and cushions are scattered about, and one wall is completely filled with holiday movies and shows being projected onto it. To get to the center with the best seats, you have to cross a small, icy moat by hopping across ice drifts. Kidding! ...Kind of. There is a tiny river flowing in a circle around the main area, and there are ice chunks in it, and there ARE pathways that look to be made of ice chunks leading to the center. But the water is actually quite warm in case anyone falls in, the ice floating by is an illusion, and the chunks to hop across are sturdy, unmoving, and not slippery.
12/24 - Per tradition, every door has stockings hanging from it in the evening, and tiny doll-sized trees sitting just to the side. There are boxes of chocolates (or treats of your choice!) addressed to everyone. Secret Santas exchange their gifts. There's a Christmas party throughout the ground level of the school, with (age-appropriate) drinks, games, hanging out, etc. The school is making its best effort this week -- but especially over the next three days -- to make the holidays as welcoming and nice as being at home, for those who don't have a home to go to.
12/25 - The stockings are filled with candy and treats, and the tiny trees have a present for each resident under them. As the elves weren't run out or exterminated, the large tree in the main hall is absolutely swamped by presents of all kinds for everyone there. Everyone receives something they've been wanting (within reason -- the elves aren't out there building you PS5s >>!)
12/26 - Throughout the duration, Hanukkah celebrations have been observed, and on the last night after the final lighting, there's another feast and party, filled with traditional food and games.
