Decking the halls

"Santa baby; slip a sable under the tree, for me..." Home alone this weekend, she could sing all she liked. Far from being a disney princess; the ones she had heard about anyway, those who sang or whistled and creatures of the forest showed up to do their housework. When she sang, they showed up alright, but tended to leave her home messier than they found it.

Rudi was one who always came to play for the holidays. She could never commit to plans on Christmas eve for some reason, but would show up late on the big day itself, pressing her shining nose to the window, looking for her Christmas dinner of spiced oats.

The 24th was still a way off, there was enough time between her decorating and all the training Rudi always seemed to start doing in the winter to take a day to relax. Warmed all the more by the fresh snow falling outside and the lights on the tree. She'd found the box of silly hats, and It's a Wonderful Life was just starting. It was going to be a great day.

December Dreams @ The Arcade

From dreams of winter she woke. Beside her as she'd slept lay the mask of Mother Earth, as the world turned and span through nothingness, receding from the Sun, the mask had gained a scrim of frost. Its colours enhanced, made magical anew by this pristine background. Stretching out on her sleigh bed Madeline was glad of the warm coat in which she was so snugly wrapped. Pulling aside the curtain and looking out across the rooftops she saw that winter had indeed arrived, with fallen snow glistening on every surface. However cold, she would go out and enjoy it. She would pull on her hat, and wait for you to come out and play. Arcade!!! Come to the Arcade! Gacha! Gacha! Gacha! This amazingly popular gacha event is back for December, with more winter themed goodies than you could shake a Christmas tree branch at.

Great skybox, simple and classic. One main room with a raised L-shaped mezzanine. My favourite bit about this is the roof you can see out of the window. That's part of the skybox! Really different, totally stands out from anything I've seen before.
