[DROP] laughing all the way

random event Ho ho ho, or something. There are probably legends about this sort of thing in Deepfrost - red-clad men pulled by luxere dropping presents to good boys and girls - but none of them probably involve car sleigh crashes. Not that you know if there's been a crash just yet, of course. No, all you know is that at the top of one of the snowy Barrows, brightly wrapped gifts are scattered everywhere. And if you look closely, there are tracks in the snow leading down the hill and deeper into King's End. They look like luxere tracks, and perhaps the runners of a large sleigh. Oh dear oh dear. Someone better get those presents back where they belong! WELCOME TO THE DROP! You have 48 hours to post your character arriving to collect PRESENTS. The prize for winning this drop will be 500MP!

One might not expect an Ancient to be trekking the Barrows in the middle of Deepfrost, but one clearly hasn't met the Maverick and his apparent idea of fun. In truth he'd only been intending to test how well his new clothes are working agains the cold - a plus side in that the answer is pretty well, actually - only now he's fucking lost and there's a big hill and presents all over it.

Turning the collar up on his coat and adjusting his scarf and gloves, Danta scowls at the brightly wrapped gifts, before promptly doing what all morally grey individuals might do in this situation: he gathers as many as he can into his grabby little hands.

Danta is in and starts to steal collect presents!

'cause I'm selfish, I'm obscene

Code blatently stolen from queen of codes, Sky!

there is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin

It's probably a good thing, in retrospect, that the skyships make a few stops en route back to the Hollowed Grounds, because Fox is likely to keel over and die if he's expected to do the entire journey all at once. And despite the cold, given that they've got a couple of hours before they're expected to board the flying death machine, the hunter has suggested a romantic walk in the snow.

Except he's not sure this counts, given the sudden and chaotic mess of presents all over the hillside and the implication that there's a crash nearby. "Do you think anyone was hurt?" he asks Kiada softly, leaning down to pick up one of the parcels to turn it over in his hands, looking for any labels or names.

Fox arrives and picks up a present to examine it.
