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!]

[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.

Yeth...?

[ No, he doesn't need to talk to people! He doesn't even like using his voice to communicate with his friends, much less strange people offering him bug-shaped items for human holidays.

His life is suffering. :T

Jacob will have to forgive him for looking a little alarmed, and distinctly like he doesn't know if he should actually take the item offered. Consider it a good effort that he's halfway reaching his hand out before hesitating. ]

Thank you. [ More hesitating, he hates his lisp which makes talking all the harder. What is communicating, god, okay okay okay, trying again: ] Thith ith a Chrithtmath tradithion? To... give to thothe you do not know?

[ Failing. Why is Signless not here? ]

[nos_servabit]

Not necessarily. [He smiles warmly, giving a almost fatherly look at the adult troll.] Usually most people give gifts to people they know...but I thought I would do it to everyone who has lived in this place.

Don't be afraid. The amulet won't bite.
