An Announcement of Hipster Christmas

[ragnarsson]

[The video opens up with everyone's favorite (but no longer only) Viking in the Quarantine. He's looking a touch more relaxed and less grumpy than he normally does.]

So I've come to learn of this Christian holiday Christmas that you all have. That's nice. [He says this in a slightly condescending tone.]

What you don't know is that the Christians took pretty much everything from the Norse to create it. Why? Because our holiday was much better than their's and they wanted in on it. Who wouldn't want to be as awesome as the Norse?

[He seems to realize he's losing the point and comes to it.] The gods and present Norse here in the city have decide to show you all how to have a proper holiday party. You're all invited to a Jól celebration. [Despite what the word looks like, it's pronounced "Yule".]

Eat, drink, and enjoy an animal sacrifice. Any naysayers or whiners will be subject to the whims of the gods. So I suggest you all be there. That is all.

[OOC: This is just an announcement post for the Yule celebration all the Norse characters have cooked up. If you wish to respond to Ivar directly, you can, but the log itself is over here!]

(ooc: he will make an attempt to lock this from children characters, as to not spoil the surprise, but who knows how well that suceeded)

[There's a boisterous bout of laughter, full of good company and power, like he could probably go full Jurassic Park and shake a glass of water with it. The tall, muscular hero has been around here and there, likely a shooting figure darting past windows, or helping keep monsters back from the wall. Be it a fire or an accident or someone getting lost, he's more than happy to leap into action to protect! Or handle crime. Either/or. He's not picky.

But today is a day for a particularly important mission, one he's going to focus on during his down time...!

What is it you say?! Ha!

He appears on the video, flashing a large and blinding grin.]

GOOD AFTERNOON, CITIZENS OF RIVERVIEW!! I am--



-- and I had, like so many of you, fallen into the portal not too long ago by accident; now that I'm here, I'm more than content with helping the good people of Riverview! And it's for that reason that I've decided to help partake in the holidays this year! This is a...



Please do bring any presents you have to Room 3 at the local elementary school! I give my thanks to the faculty for helping with this task...! And worry not about the safety of the presents; why? Because I will be here to collect them for you! I will be doing my part as well -- after all, I still have a wage from my initial arrival, and so I've been doing some purchasing of my own!

[Behind him, a mountain of different toys sits in the unused school room!!!

He stands in front of it, making a strong fist and sparkles in the sunlight beaming through the window; what a scene, lord.]

Let us not leave any child in Riverview behind!!

Join in, and I will deliver the gifts in proper santa apparel!

After all, every child deserves a wonderful holiday...!!

[The feed ends!!]




...... Action: Toshinori Yagi | Riverview Streets

[A few hours later...!!!]



[Cough, cough.

Toshinori coughs into his sleeve, bundled up in a scarf and a large winter coat. He's got a number of bags hanging off his skinny arms, and looks like he's having a hell of a time balancing them all...!! At the moment he is heading over to the toy run with them -- though he's just a 'civilian' now, because... well... 'All Might' has a time limit. It's fine; everyone's able to go deposit stuff and it's been a while since All Might left the area, so it's not like he's blowing any covers here. Usually his seven feet worth of skinnyboy is enough to deter, but maybe someone will take pity on him and help where he really should have asked for it.

(... Though, notably, when he's on his way back to the community building, he'll be missing aforementioned coat and scarf.)

He's a hopeless fellow, this giant.

But it's the time for giving! And you know him. He gives 150%. So. That includes things he shouldn't give.]

action/video 001; un: d.wayne Communal housing Floor 2.

[sonofab]

[Damian stares down his ...social worker... as she speaks. The woman explains the room, his bi-weekly stipend, the works. Still, Damian stares her down with a burning intensity that just screams 'I am displeased. Go. away. No mask, no Robin gear, just a pissed off teenager in a hoodie.

Clearing her throat nervously, she does leave and that's why Damian takes in his room. It didn't matter what the room looked like really, Damian wasn't having this communal living nonsense. He sees the extra beds in the room and ...that is just too many roommates. This is was 24-hour surveillance and he was not having that.

He frowns down at the device and switches it on. Have an annoyed looking ... 10-year-old? (No, he's 13 dammit, don't just assume things from his small stature!) glaring down at the camera.]

This communal living thing is not happening. What's the price range for houses or private apartments around here?
