4: True sages are those who give what they have, without meanness and without secret.

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!]

[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.

[420]

Really? What sort?

[He is just turning over the scarab in his fingers, making soft delighted sounds when it happens to catch the light in the right way and shine.

He has a gift for Jacob too! Just... give him a moment of not getting distracted.]

[nos_servabit]

You'll have to see. I'm not spoiling the surprise.

[No problem. Jacob is just glad enough to see the looks on people's faces when they get their gifts. That is enough of a present for him.]

[420]

Aight. Cool.

[That's fine. Gamzee is just as happy to find out himself. He turns the Scarab over a few more times, then--]

So. What is this lil bro all for?

[nos_servabit]

Back on Earth, a race of human beings called the Egyptians believed that a certain insect was symbolic for resurrection and the wonder of life. They made amulets in the shape of that insect, and used it sometimes to protect against evil.

So [he turns the scarab over a few more times] This was all something bros could get their belief for on?

[nos_servabit]

Pretty much, yes. You've got it right, Gamzee.

[420]

Bitchin'.

[He stares at it for a few more moments, before he starts.]

Wait, fuck, I done got you some things too. Wait.

[He digs into his sylladex and out come the CDs. Rap CDs. Terrible rap CDs.]

Here. For you to all get more schoolfed on the wicked rhymes.
