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!]

Not telling. You'll have to see for yourself.

[He looks so amused over here.]

[prominence_glow]

He is so getting interrogated when I find him.

Oh! [Lea snaps his fingers and straightens up.] I almost forgot! I have something for you, too!

[nos_servabit]

Oh? You do?

[He sounds surprised, as if he hadn't been expecting anybody getting anything for him.]

[prominence_glow]

Yeah! You've helped me out a lot and all, right?

[Rummaging... through his backpack... Ah ha! Lea pulls out a necklace of simple rope, with a pendant at the end. It's an Eye of Horus- isn't that familiar. Leaning over, he holds it out to Jacob.]

Added a little something of my own to it. Didn't know if ol' Horus has network coverage to the deep blue, heh.

[That 'something of his own' would happen to be spellwork. Haste and Protect, as a matter of fact.]

[nos_servabit]

[GOSH LEA YOU ARE THE BEST]

[His eyes light up at the familiar symbol, and he takes it, putting it around his neck and beaming down at it.]

...Thank you. It's wonderful.

[He looks so happy over here.]

[prominence_glow]

[Gosh, Jacob, way to make a kid all please. Lea ducks his head with a goofy grin.]

Glad you like it. Didn't expect you to like it this much, 'tho, gotta say.

[nos_servabit]

Horus's eye is a sign of protction against evil. I have to say it is one of my more favorite symbols.

[He fingers it with a very pleased smile.]

It was very thoughtful of you to create this for me.

[prominence_glow]

Well it's Christmas! Everyone should get a little something!

[Which is why he's in a sleigh.]

[nos_servabit]

That is true. It's exactly what I am doing too, though I don't have a sleigh.

[prominence_glow]

Well, wanna ride? This thing can hold two.

[nos_servabit]

Can it?

[His eyes light up slightly.]

I wouldn't mind.
