make my wish come true?

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS...

With the holidays just around the corner, it's never too early to get your Christmas list in order! Now with that fun, added twist of compelled honesty, characters feel the urge to blurt out what is they want more than anything. With any luck, a special secret Santa might come along to help their wish come true... but let's not jump the gun.

Wishes can be for whatever's in your character's heart, from the innocuous to the extreme. Characters might ask for anything from a new bicycle to a Daddy dom. No desires too small, no wishes too grand. Our Santas are up to the task!

HOW TO PLAY:

Top-level with your character who's been unfortunate enough to get hit with a case of the Christmas spirit. No blank top-levels! Characters have to confess a wish they want granted, or a gift they'd love to receive!

Reply to others to see if you can help make their wishes come true!

That's it! That's the meme!

[Something is compelling her to speak and she hates it. Her antennae twitch with irritation, coils wrapped tightly in annoyance as she tries and fails to resist.]

Bah, fine! You wish to know what I desire? Relics! Records, seals, idols! Anything heavy with the stench of history. Even baubles or trinkets would suffice. Some may call them antiques? It matters not! What matters is that I desire them. To keep them safe. Protected.

And do I smell like history?

Living things bare all kinds of smells. Even if you are old, your ancient stench mixes with more modern scents. And I've no interest in dull modernity! Nor do I desire to display that which still lives! I hoard precious relics of the past. To keep them close. To keep them safe. Surely one such as yourself does not need protection?

But I am not alive. And you are correct; I do not need protection.

[She gets a bit huffy. Her two sets of claws twitch a bit in frustration as her antennae move backwards a bit.]

Pah! Semantics! You speak, yes? You move? Think? Feel? Then you are alive, same as me. There is another who would argue the same. Made of silk, she is. Foolish! You lot make things far too complicated.

I am just a hollow imitation of a living creature. I take life from others to replace what I have lost.

We do not live for hundreds of years without a curse.

What is existence if not a curse? Do we not take from others to maintain ourselves? To eat is to kill. Again I say, do not mistake your existence for anything but life. I have seen what it is to move without it. To be truly hollow; a corpse puppeteered by another. Slightly more boring than the dullards I am surrounded by. You are not one of them.

I shall take that as a compliment. You are quite fiery in your passion.

[A compliment? Her? Now that really feels off. She was simply saying what she felt. Yet...well. She doesn't hate it. Her body relaxes, antennae perking up a bit as each of her four arms settle.]

I am myself. No more or less. Nor do I have any interest in being anything else. You desire to take my words as a compliment? Pah! Do as you wish. I've no interest in stopping you.

Being yourself is admirable. From what I have learned in my time, there are always those who are happy to pretend they are what they are not.

A good quality to have.

[So many court jesters putting on airs: he could tell so many stories. Scrounge's forwardness is refreshing.]

[Now he's complimenting her? She's not sure how to feel about this. So she shoots him a look.]

You've a silver tongue. Know that smell is not my only keen sense. These eyes? Sharp, they are. I'm watching you.

[Someone isn't used to compliments.]

Watch me all you like. I have nothing to hide.

[They are both supernatural beings, he has no need to hide his nature as a vampire from one such as her. No need to keep up the Masquerade.]

So you say. I remain unconvinced.

[Nothing against him. She's just suspicious by nature. Tends to happen when you live in a haunted kingdom. Nevermind all the weird stuff bugs do normally.

Also seriously, nobody compliments her. What's his angle here?]

Ask me anything you like. I will answer truthfully.

[He stands there, impassive as ever.]

What have you to gain from this? We spoke once before, yes? Yes. Yet you return. Am I to believe myself a better conversationalist than I thought? Or do you seek something from me?

[She understands a transactional kind of relationship. A favor for a favor, so to speak. But if this is not that? Well. It's new to her.]

Can someone not enjoy conversation with a like-minded historian?

[It isn't like he's going to drink bug blood or anything.]

[Not fully convinced, but...she does make herself much less threatening. Still suspicious but now she's almost kind of...pouting? As if she's trying to find a reason not to trust him but failing a bit.]

And what of your silver tongue? The one I mentioned before. I do not require flattery. Nothing I do merits it.

This is simply how I speak. I will not apologize for the thoughts on my mind.

[Is the bug pouting? He's sure the bug is pouting. Why is she pouting.]

[ no, date, don't say it. don't do it. don't — ]

The holy grail, of course! MILF cuck porn with feet stuff.

[ . . . ]

And I guess for my daughter to be happy.

[ DON'T WISH FOR THAT IN THE SAME BREATH? ]

....that's just messed up.

[Which part? PROBABLY ALL OF IT. Except for his daughter being happy. That's at least wholesome, though he sullied it from the start.]

[ hey now! it's ... fine! he's soooo normal! ]

A man can contain multitudes, my friend.

[Uh huh. Vanitas believes that about as far as he can throw Date. Which might be a foot or so.]

There's some things that shouldn't be contained in the same space, I'll have you know.

[ That's still better than nothing. ]

What? I can nix the feet stuff but MILFs are non-negotiable.

[Sometimes you take what you can get, huh?]

I'm talking about conflating wishes for your daughter with your lurid fantasies!!

[ !!! ]

I was asked what I want! That's what I want! The holy grail and my daughter's happiness. It's just those two things!

[UGH... That's... surprisingly fair. But--]

Then at least put her happiness first, dammit! You're a damn grown man! Act like one!

[ Throws his arms in the air!!! ]

Why would I do that?! She'd get pissed off if I did! Her happiness is hers to take with her own hands, she'd hate it if I was going around wishing for it instead of letting her achieve it herself.

[ His daughter.......... is a tsundere. ]

[Drama queen!!!]

A parent should still prioritize their child first and foremost, especially over filthy smut! Just because the kid in question might get persnickety doesn't mean you shouldn't try!

[So the apple didn't fall far from the tree, huh...]

[ WOW ]

You don't know anything. Just because I wished for my holy grail doesn't mean I don't want her happiness equally as much! Stop being so judgmental!

[ But also yeah, not even a little bit. ]

[Sorry, he has Parental Issues...]

Hey, I'm trying to do you a favor here by giving you some advice! How you word things has meaning! Having it seem like she was an afterthought doesn't paint you in the best light!

[See this shark. She has the biggest shit eating grin at everything you admitted]
...So you like all that in that order?

[ NOT YOU AGAIN........ ]

Maybe I do! What of it?!

Nothing! I like em too. You didn't answer me before. What do ya like best? The toes? I like the toes.

[Excuse her, she's just going to enjoy every second]

[ he hates this. kill him. ]

I'm not answering that. You're just going to make fun of me.

C'moooooon! You already said this much, what's one more?

It's a matter of pride! I won't have my fetishes used against me.

What do I want?

[She thinks for a moment.]

I want to be a star. I'd settle for a warm fuzzy blanket or some homemade cookies, though.

Can't help with the star bit, but my bakin' skills are pretty famous in my family and at work. What sort do you like especially?

Peace on earth, good will toward men.

I also lost an AirPod so a replacement would be nice.

DUDE!! Okay, check this out.

( Hands come out of her pocket and up, she looks like a kid in a candy store. )

A fuckin' Playstation 2.

To eat till I burst and Watson to give me a kiss on the cheek...

...Oh! And a whoopee cushion.

Aw hell I don't keep track of all the chems and caps I give away, but that's kinda a 'whole year 'roud' type gig

Guess I should ask for Peace on Earth and Love to all Ghoulkind or some kinda bull. Really just want a spider gag I can't dent-in with my teeth.

Could do with some new oven gloves. Mine're looking a bit sorry for themselves.

For shame, letting your kitchen equipment get into the sorry looking state.

To be loved is to be changed.

Or in this case, to be used daily for your intended purpose until you're beyond mending is to be replaced but missed a bit more than is normal.

Are we talking about stuffed animals or oven mitts?

It sounds like your lucky that you haven't burnt yourself with them.

I don't know. If I want it I probably already have it. Do you know how hard it is to shop for people who can do that? [ A sigh. ] I want my bakery to be the best that there is. I know that it is but I want everyone to know it.

I'd like for my life not to be in constant danger from all sides.

But, failing that, coffee. Or a typewriter. I could save so much time if I could just type things again.
