Video- 12-21 Santa's little helper

[princess_weia]

[On the afternoon of the 21st, a message appears on the network.]

Hi everybody! I just wanted to wish you all a happy holiday and let you know that I'm going to be bringing a bunch of you each a present. Try not to knock the boxes around too much, OK? What's inside might break if you do.

[Later that day, a number of apprentices will find packages left on their doorsteps labeled To: (Their Name) From: Leia. The packages are smallish solid color gift boxes with a metallic sheen and are tied shut with a white ribbon. Inside, they'll each find a unique mug, along with a note explaining that Leia had used Wishful magic on the mugs so that whatever liquid is put in them- hot or cold- always stays the perfect temperature for drinking, and inviting them to try them out.

Dreamfinder and Merlin also get mugs (Figment gets a smaller one that matches Dreamfinder's) which will be delivered to them at the castle, either by Leia personally (if possible), or via being dropped off with the guards at the gates to be delivered by someone at the castle later (if not).]

((OOC: Mug recipients are:

Nate, Shadow Weaver, Jose, Beetlejuice, (movie) Lydia, Mal, Harry, Drake, Elena, Dreamfinder (and Figment), and Merlin.

Jose might also find himself in the possession of several otherwise plain-looking mugs that now do things like change color, play a little tune, or glow bright blue when filled with liquid: Leia's early experiments that didn't come out quite the way she wanted.

Feel free to have characters reply to the post either before or after they've received their gifts.))

Oh thank you for the mug, Leia. It is going to be a wonderful work companion while I am dealing with the final leg of the Holiday Sale at the Emporium. It is getting pretty busy over here.

How thoughtful miss Leia. Thank you.

I shall try and see if I can find a gift just as exceptional for you.

{Drake was brought up better than texting or phoning a thank you. He was brought up writing thank you letters. But with childhood poverty came a dislike for unnecessarily paying postage, and with several phDs came having far too little time to spend writing letters. So here he was, posting live before he was finished adjusting his frame, one hand partially covering the field of view as he tilted it back and forth, and the other holding his new mug, which already had steam drifting up from it.]

Oye! Princess! Now this- [He interrupted himself to take a swig of hot, sweet java.] -this is-is...it's really very clever, thank you. You said you used Wish magic, yeah? The handbook says Wish magic doesn't last, so does that mean the effect'll eventually fade away? I mean, just curious, it's still a marvelous cup, enchantment or not.
