[Totally Optional Event OOC Info: Holiday Hat Enchantments! An elf of the Underground Mall’s black market, one of the finest secret compartment haberdashers in the Port and embittered by his younger years of playing ‘little helper’ to Mall Santa, has a great deal of magical talents and a strong sense of mischief which sparks around the Christmas season. He has enchanted all ordinary headgear throughout the city to temporarily transfer special impulses, powers, or transformations on hat wearers. Although your hat looks just the same as ever, as of this morning at dawn it is imbued with one of 5 random special effects, which may take a few days to wear off, or just a few hours.
Frosty’s Silk Hat There must have been some magic in... Uh, congrats. Upon donning this cap, you are now an animated Snowman (or Snowlady, or anything you regularly identify as). This probably means that if you’re inside anywhere warm and cozy, you might really want to consider getting shuffling your way out of doors quickly. Good luck in the darkness! And if you do manage to melt? Guess you’re stuck as a mobile sentient puddle until this one wears off and you resume your (now naked) day. Good luck slorping around!
Scrooge’s Nightcap On your first snooze after donning your headgear, you’ll be plagued with prophetic or nostalgic dreams of winter seasons past or your potential future. Somewhere in there, you might even lose the humbug, and stumble upon a life-altering change in attitude!
Rudolph’s Antlers Maybe you won’t gain a shiny red nose, but one bulbous pimple is going to spring up somewhere on your face after donning this cap. You might be laughed at, and called a few choice names (as if newcomers don’t get enough of that!) But cheer up- you gain the power of flight until you pop it into nasty pus.
Santa’s Hat Entering any residence by the front door is impossible, as long as you’re wearing this jinxed hat! Looks like you’ll have to break back into your humble abode some...unconventional way? (Mind the darkness proofing!) You’ll also find yourself with an insatiable appetite for cookies, and children will feel an unusual impulse to be well-behaved in your presence.
Krampus Horns Oh my. Looks like you’re St. Nicholas’s creepy goat-headed devil of a counterpart! With your tongue growing elongated and hanging out of your mouth, your feet transformed into cloven hooves, and perhaps a bit more of a lecherous edge than your usual, you’ll be looking to punish all the naughty people who deserve nothing nice. ]

And so it begins.
The childish squabbles that have marked so much of this city's history resume once again. It's laughable, in its way, to see the same drama unfolding again and again with no foreseeable end.
But why? Why is it that no one sees? That the powers-that-be strive for a mere pittance, a scrap of dirt so mired in corruption that hope seems a thing of the past?
Is it that they seek to ever-expand? To consume this world with their petty ambitions?
I wonder.
This city has slept for too long. There is far too much that has slipped through our fingers.
If we are ever to go forward, we must first understand our origins, the past that frames our present.
How can we see if we do not first open our eyes?Signed,
GW
