Who: Jacob and EVERYONE EVER.
Location: Anywhere and everywhere.
Time: Backdated to Christmas Day- all day, from morning to midnight
Style: I'll follow!
Status: OPEN LIKE YOUR PRESENTS ON CHRISTMAS

[The man going around the city isn't wearing a red suit or hat. He isn't fat, and there is no white beard on his face. His nose isn't as round as a cherry, and his cheeks aren't rosy. However, his blue eyes do twinkle as he goes around, carrying a large burlap sack...]

[And he seems to be giving everyone he meets a blue or white wooden amulet, carved in the shape of a scarab with holiday greetings etched on the bottom in Egyptian hieroglyphics. He doesn't seem to single out anyone for the gifts, either- the homeless man in the alley receives the same gift and warm words that is given to the rich woman dining outside a lavish restaurant.]

[Even though he may not look like it, Jacob seems to be taking on the job of being Santa Claus incredibly well.]

[And if you are one of the select few who Jacob knows very well, you're receiving a very unique scarab made especially for you.]

[Care to greet this man as he makes his rounds? Because you're getting a gift too, whether you like it or not.]

[ooc: Jacob is giving out scarabs to everyone! Check the list to see if your character is getting a unique one. Also, for all you new people who don't have CR with Jacob yet, please fill out Jacob's permission post before commenting. Thank you!]

What's this for?

[nos_servabit]

[A warm smile as he hands over a turquoise scarab from his sack.]

It's a gift in honor of celebrating Christmas.

[beautifies]

You celebrate with this?

[Uhh. Staring at this. It's...not cute. But he's starting to feel...bubbly. Oh man, is he blushing? Why is he blushing? Only getting more annoyed internally.]

I'll keep it. [That is his way of saying thank you.]

[modernholmes]

Why are you doing that?

[Conan had been out in the city observing people when he'd noticed this man's actions.]

[nos_servabit]

It's Christmas and I thought everyone would want something as a gift.

[Here, Conan, you are having a white scarab being handed to you now.]

Here you go.

[modernholmes]

[He takes it and peers at it quizzically.]

A scarab?

[prominence_glow]

[Lea's eyes are just about sparkling as he gets his scarab.]

[...Also, so what if he's in a sleigh being pulled by chocobo on his own quest to give out presents, fight him.]

You are so cool.

[nos_servabit]

[He smiles widely at the sight of the sleigh, and just nods in reply to Lea's exclamation.]

Just a simple gift, really. [A pause.] You should compare it to the one I gave Demyx.

[prominence_glow]

Really? Why? What's up with 'em?

[DANGLING out of this sleigh in excitement, gosh!]

SINCE THIS CR NEEDED TO HAPPEN

[aim_exorable]

[Darkleer may be in a better mood thanks to a certain lususbird that's been flapping around and periodically landing on his shoulder, but that doesn't mean he's perfectly willing to accept things from random strangers.]

[Just. Staring at you Jacob.]

..Have we met?

[Nope not taking that scarab just yet.]

YES YES IT DID

[nos_servabit]

No, we haven't.

[A smile as he continues holding the amulet towards him.]

This is for you, though.

I needed this CR, I am so sorry in advance

[p2iioniicii2t]

[ Okay, there is a human on the rooftop of the Larmline apartment building. The Helmsman can deal with that, he'll just be over here quietly investigating his new beehive the Signless obtained for him today.

Wait.

Wait.

Is that human approaching him?

He's not... going to talk to him, is he? Oh, this is so awkward. People talking to him is awkward. Talking to people is awkward. Why is this his life? ]

that is alright I NEED CR WITH ALL THE ADULT TROLLS

[nos_servabit]

[Life is talking to people YOU HAVE TO GET USED TO IT DUDE >:I]

[But yeah, he's approaching you with that sack of burlap on his shoulders, and he gestures to the sack with a smile.]

You keep bees? How nice. Bees are very interesting animals. Their society is quite complex.

[A pause as he puts the sack down and fishes out a white scarab for him.]

Here. This is for you. Merry Christmas.

[withoutasign]

Hello, Jacob. Is this one of your human traditions?

[Because all the vaguely religious figures should hang out together, yes.]

[nos_servabit]

Yes, yes it is. Well, in a way. You see, we often give gifts to each other on Christmas Day, celebrating the birth of Christ. It's a sign of goodwill and good tidings to participate in gift giving.

[And he pulls out a bright red scarab with the Signless' sign painted on its wings and hands it over.]

And this is for you. Merry Christmas, Signless.

I think Silver tried to give Jacob his gift anon, but feel free to know it was him. 8D

[brbstealingpknm]

..... [And Silver will just raise an eyebrow at the gift giving.

While you know, trying to look like he's totally not attached to the stuffed toy Sneasel under his arm.

Really, he's not. He totally is, shhhh.]

JACOB KNOWS ALL but he won't mention it too much because he is nice that way

[nos_servabit]

Hello, Silver.

[He turns with a warm smile towards the young man and don't look now, but there's a metallic red scarab being handed to him.]

Merry Christmas. That's a nice plushie you have there.

[angelphones]

[Katsu blinks in surprise as he spots Jacob.]

Hello.

[He smiles. Someone looks pretty excited.]

[nos_servabit]

Hello, Katsu.

[A warm smile as he reaches inside his burlap sack.]

To celebrate Christmas,I got something for you.

[not_heavens_adam]

Jaaaaaaaaaaaacooooob~! [That sing-song voice should sound familiar. Have a vampire whose arms are now around your shoulders from behind.]

Merry Christmas, Jacob~!

[nos_servabit]

[Well, if it isn't Johnny. Jacob smiles.]

Merry Christmas, Johnny. I have something for you.

[420]

[Yes, gifts! this christmas thing is bitchtits.]

Thanks, bro.

[He has like, absolutely no idea what he was just given but that doesn't matter because it was a gift from a friend and that automatically makes it awesome.]

[nos_servabit]

You're welcome.

[He nods and gives him a warm smile, happy that he is making other people happy.]

Once I give Equius his scarab, you should compare his and yours. There's something in common with them.

[bethehugejerk]

[Christmas day! An earth holiday! And not the only one he's been through. It is, however, the first one where Karkat wound up having to hunt down and destroy carol-singing minibots courtesy of a certain hateful blueblood. It was a good gift, as far as caliginous things go, for it certainly drove up his hate for that shitsucker.]

[But after all that, and having already exchanged gifts with Eridan, Karkat has decided he needs a bit of fresh air. This has inevitably led him to the Plaza.]

[And, as it happens, to a certain blond human.]

Jacob? If you're trying to be the earth Santa, you're doing it wrong.

[This said as he strolls up, eying the sack the man carries.]

[nos_servabit]

Who said I was trying to be like Santa?

[He puts his sack down so he can reach into it, giving Karkat a smile when he hands over the scarab he made for him.]

Here. This is for you. Merry Christmas.
