When he realized it was coming from her cloak, he angled to get a better look. It was indeed Charlotte, who, if rumors were correct, had joined her crusade relatively recently. He tried to think of something to say, and found a question he hadn't received an answer to yet. Perhaps the bat was cagey about her origins, or perhaps he simply hadn't found any storytellers who had heard the news yet, but whatever the reason, he didn't know where she came from. "Pardon me, Charlotte, correct? If it does not trouble you to say so, might I ask where you come from?"

She who was open with her struggles and refused to be silent about them.

You were a princess, a general, an activist, and so much more, but now you've passed. Drowned in Moonlight, strangled by your own bra. May the Force be with you, Princess. We'll miss you.

... you, 2016. ... you, ... you, ... you, ... you, ...YOU...YOU...YOU...YOU ... YOU!

Okay... I'm a bit better now... Seriously though, why!?

But no, 2016 is really cursed.

...the 2017 PPC NEW YEAR'S GIFT EXCHANGE!

[APPLAUSE]

Since we're almost at the end of 2016, it's high time we all start preparing for the new year, and what better way to start than to kick off the latest round of gift giving? I'll be shaking things up this year with a few rule changes, since I thought I'd try something a little different and unexpected this year. Without further ado...

ADMISSION AND SETUP:
1. You need to have Permission and at least two agents to enter this event. You don't have to have the teams participate in their entirety, either - any one of your agents can opt out based on whatever's most convenient for you.
2. This time, all of you will be going in basically blind - meaning that nobody will know who sent what until all the gifts have been opened, not even the Boarders participating! Hence, in order to enter, send me an e-mail (my address is clickable) with your attending agents and which gift each will bring. This may be either a "souvenir" from a mission you've published previously, or just something they happen to have that they want to give away. As soon as you've sent the e-mail, reply to this post with the word "Sent" and no message content, so everyone will know who's participating.
3. I will take six or seven other Boarders for this year's event, so the first seven Boarders to submit applications will be the ones attending.
4. Anyone with Permission can host this event. One of their agents must serve as an in-universe host for this event, but all agents are required to participate as players, including the host. I will confirm who the host will be if and when anyone steps forward - otherwise, Falchion will be the host this year. (My other participating agents will be my DIC and DMS-VG teams, but no other agents of mine will be participating, for some very spoilery reasons.)

EVENT RULES:
5. Once everything's been set up, preferably on New Year's Day, the Boarder volunteering the event host will set up an introductory post on the T-Board for this event. The most important rule: NOBODY MUST KNOW WHAT THE GIFTS ARE UNTIL THEY'VE OPENED THEM. All of the gifts will be wrapped and put in a big pile at the start of the game.
6. Once I've tallied the full list, I'll provide a list of the players, and a list of the gifts, but not a list of who sent what. The starting player will then be selected at random. Then when that player opens a gift, the agent who submitted it must speak up and confirm that they were the one who did so. Then that agent is the next to play! Thus, in general, the person who will play during each turn is the one who volunteered the gift revealed during the previous turn.
7. For each turn, the agent currently in play can either choose a gift from the pile (I'll provide the full list of gifts on the Posting Board) or, if others before them have already chosen gifts, they can "steal" a gift from the previous owner. A gift can be stolen up to twice; after that, it is locked to the agent it's ended up with, and cannot be stolen again. Note also that if a gift is stolen from any agent, THEY CANNOT STEAL IT BACK.
8. The game ends once everyone has received a gift. Since the first agent cannot steal, he/she will be given the choice to steal after everyone else has played.

And that's that! LET THE GIFTING COMMENCE! :D

I dunno if you started the trend, but i think it fits with their eventual arc, since Ix would need to have regular access to Wolfsbane if she ever wanted to retire.

And if Corolla wants her to decorate, she just needs to ask!

Ah, well. Can't trust my hunches all the time. Glad you like your gifts, though.

Well, I can definitely understand that angle (I also think the Anzati are pretty cool, and your friends are probably right about Warhammer) but it's not so much the species as the creative decisions that spawned them that I have a problem with. The writing and story direction for the Yuuzhan Vong era is my least favorite out of the whole franchise. To be perfectly honest just about everything turns decidedly "meh" for me roundabouts the Young Jedi Knights series.. It's a bit unfair, I'll admit, given how little I've actually read of those stories, but something about the general tone just sticks in my craw.

Well, I was pretty close, then. Though personally I don't put much stock in the quizzes. Even the one on Pottermore. After being told no less than four times that I was in Slytherin (despite being neither particularly cunning nor ambitious in the least) and once in Gryffindor (which is just laughably wrong) I pretty much decided self examination would be far more effective.

Seriously though, I got an eau de toilette, and 50 PLN (roughly 11 bucks)

I don't know if it'll work out for me, though, given my work schedule. Plus, I was thinking of running a Pathfinder game, and I don't know if I'd have time for multiple games.

This magical shovel digs up revisions to the Interspecies Cultural Exchange Laws! You might want to get these to Kuroko Smith.

The "prompt" in the title threw me off I suppose. As for why anonymous, two reasons: one, I thought that anonymous prompts were a thing that was done here (which I suppose means I haven't been lurking aso closely as I thought prior to actually joining) and two, I wanted people to have fun with the prompt and see what they could come up with, without any bias from my name being attached, since I know people aren't terribly fond of me, though I do hope that will eventually change.

a little pet fancy mouse named Toe . ( because the last mouse was a female and named Thumbelina . )

But , yeah , Happy all of the Holidays to everyone !!
