The sun crests the horizon as they take their prizes and its light banishes the spirit away for another year. His laughter echoes across the canyons and the trees, echoing all the way back to his secluded little cabin. Jack collapses into his recliner and kicks up his clawed feet. The last embers of the night still warm him from the fireplace as he breathes a sigh of contentment. Just as he begins to close his eyes, his phone rings.
"What are your thoughts on Christmas?"
He slams the phone back on the receiver. Not a snowball's chance in hell.
For @Elliana, who chose a treat: Snowflakes (0-space) - Everywhere she goes, little snowflakes collect in her mane and tail as they swirl gently around her.
For @Llorona, who chose a trick: Weeping Woman Curse, which causes glittering haemolacria and a shroud of ink black cobwebs to hang over her face. Llorona will feel despair whenever near children, hers or otherwise.
For @Beechbone, who chose a trick: Honeybee Beauty Curse, which causes her to sweat thick golden honey. A small hive of bees have mistaken her for their queen and gather in her mane. They sometimes get confused and sting her or her friends, sadly.
For @sawbone, who chose a trick: Hearth Heart Curse, which causes Sawbone to burst into flames whenever he falls in love. His skin will turn to black and peel from him in patches, leaving angry red skin in its wake. The flames will harm no one else nor will they kill him, but they will burn until his love is requited.
For @despoina, who chose a treat: Diaphonized (0-space) - The body is rendered mostly transparent with bones and cartilage becoming stained various shades of blue, purple, and pink.
For @Sintra, who chose a treat: Self Bat Healing (2-space) - Vampire bats will flock to Sintra and heal her using the blood they’ve gathered from other creatures. This will require biting her and vomiting that blood into her, but I feel like you’re into that.
For @Anuya, who chose a treat: Angel Mimicry (3-space) - Users can use the abilities of an angel. Including: a halo, feathered wings, an aura, phasing, teleportation, healing, empathy, self-sustenance, hope embodiment, and temporal manipulation. Character may have up to 3 characteristics.
For @Etojo, who chose a treat: Hannya (4-space) - A pale demon of hunger and obsession, often created out of jealousy and despair. Users have two sharp horns, metallic-colored eyes, and tusk-like fangs. As a Hannya’s emotional state grows from sorrowful to enraged, their strength likewise grows and their color changes from white to burgundy. Users display haemolacria and carry a thick aura of sorrow around them. Once a Hannya has become obsessed with someone or something, they may display additional powers such as flight without wings, fire breath, possession, wound transferal, or telepathy. (Users may have up to 4 spaces of traits.)
