[ The moment the clock strikes 12 midnight to usher in Christmas Day, a hoard of delivery drones will be activated throughout the base. They enter each Outsider's room or finds them where they might be and drops a gift off into their hands. Some Outsiders who have been gifted a paid subscription or virtual gift will receive this gift in their oculars instead.

Each gift was individually chosen. Please refer to this table to see what your character will receive! (If we have missed anyone, please contact us on the mod contact page.)

There's a brief note from Captain Yamakawa. ]


My Angels of LILITH,

I know we haven't made it easy on you during your stay here, but please know that we truly, genuinely appreciate your service and what you have done to protect our world from the impending threats. Please take this gift as a token of LILITH's appreciation.

Happy Holidays to you all. Let's hope for a peaceful and fruitful new year.


Sincerely,
Jun Yamakawa

[ Feel free to use this network post to chat about the gifts your characters received. Happy Holidays everyone!! ]

[Taryon's smile drops and he raises his head.]

That I'm too good-looking to be a grandpa?

[It has to be obvious. It has to be.]

Right?

[zauneyete]

[ His good eye blinks. ]

I'm sorry to break this to you...

[ He trails off. He doesn't sound all that sorry. ]

[likemybooks]

[Taryon's jaw drops.

This cannot be.] I-

Everyone I know says my hair is amazing and — I know they meant it somewhat insultingly — but "pretty" has been used to describe me.

[He swings his folded leg off the other and plants both feet on the floor as he leans towards the camera.]

You're pulling my leg. You can't possible think I looked old.

[zauneyete]

Maybe it's the mustache...

It always tends to make a man look older, hm?

[ He tipped his head, considering. ]

Well, that's a possibility as to why...

[likemybooks]

Well, yes, but I would think it would push me towards "older distinguished gentleman" territory if it hasn't gone gray.

[He strokes his goatee. One of his defining features. How will anyone recognize him in the streets? What if he looks so young no one will take him seriously.]

I don't have any wrinkles, do I?

[Touching his face with the tips of his fingers in search for that patch of aging.]

[zauneyete]

Oh? Do you think gray and wrinkles are the requirement for being a grandfather?

[ Silco asks. Sporting gray and wrinkles. ]

I think you have one... right... there.

[ He points to the laugh line on his face. Maybe not a wrinkle, but he can't help but be a little mean. ]

[likemybooks]

[He's in his late 20s, he's starting to worry about losing his youthful looks. Which means he's tracing the laugh line over and over, dreading what the future holds.]

I'm not...oh no.

[zauneyete]

[ I'm sorry Taryon. Silco's just an ass. ]

Oh, is this the first time you've realized? So Sorry.

[likemybooks]

No, it's...thank you. I know I have to take better care of myself....

[Gods, then he'll really look like the grandpa of the team! This cannot be allowed to occur.]

[zauneyete]

Well, it's a flaw we all fall into. After all, one becomes busy... you lose the routine...

Or merely the ravages of time. They come for us all.
