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!]

[Johnny took the scarab in hand and looked at it in mild shock. No one ever gave him gifts and certainly not ones as pretty as this.]

Thank you...I love it.

[He looked back up, a bright smile on his face.]

[nos_servabit]

[A nod.]

You're welcome. I'm going to give one to Rayfell too. Just so you and she have the same gifts.

[not_heavens_adam]

I believe she'll like it just as much. We don't practice Christmas all that often.

I'll have to find something to get you.

[nos_servabit]

I know that. Which is why I wanted to surprise you both for the holiday.

That's okay, Johnny. You don't need to do that.

[not_heavens_adam]

Heh. Well, thanks.

Of course I do~ It wouldn't be right if I didn't come up with something.

[nos_servabit]

Johnny, you don't need to return the favor. I insist. This is just something I wanted to do for everyone.

[not_heavens_adam]

Alright~ If you say so~

[Verbal retreat: Check. Mental retreat: Hell no.]
