Secret Santa 1999 Sarcopholacooda 2025/12/06(Sat)08:56 No. 144461 ID: 54055d

Finally, you’re here! And there’s plenty of shopping to do at the mall before our Secret Santa! Huh? Slop? Rizz? K-pop Demon Hunters? What’s that about skipping toilets? You must’ve slipped on the ice, silly!

Can you believe it? Y2K is just around the corner! Life is only going to get easier in the new millennium! So if you’re here--then you mean to sign up for our Secret Santa at the mall!

Here’s a Wiki Link to the previous years of gift-giving! With directions included: https://questden.org/wiki/TGChan%27s_Secret_Santa

What do you do? You can participate in several ways:

For Quest Authors/Signing-Up
For authors, all you need to do is declare which of your quest-characters will partake in this exchange. Include their name and a link to the quest or wiki page, or name drop the quest title. A picture is helpful as well. If posting multiple characters, you must state whether they’re a GROUP or INDIVIDUALS. Once we reach an appointed date, everyone will be randomly assigned their partner. After matches are made it is your job to write and illustrate what your character would gift their special someone! Perhaps something from their world. Or something personal! Maybe a neumono tamagotchi. Or a custom slap-bracelet! Maybe a dorodango ball!

You’re not obligated to have the character respond to a gift received. But the process of your character finding/deciding their partner’s gift is expected. It can be done in one picture, five, ten, animated; doesn’t matter as long as you don’t tire yourselves out and lose momentum! Posting before or after Christmas is no problem either! You have until the 25th of July!

Pairings will be made on December 12th. Names will be posted with spoiler tags to keep pairings a secret! Have a look through past Secret Santas to get an idea how it works. I’ll do my best to avoid repeat pairings from the last few Secret Santas.

NSFW Content?
We sure love our holidays with tasteful humor. And we’ve all been on our best behavior before! But keep in mind that Secret Santa is one holiday that takes a breather from all the blatant clothing damage and body part worshiping. That doesn’t mean there can’t be ‘crude humor’ or ‘suggestive themes’. As expected, sexual congress is out of the question!

For Suggestors
Suggestors may also participate and gift a quest character! Post your idea for a present and who will receive it! Disclaimer: it will be up to the author to illustrate their characters accepting the gift. It’s a busy holiday, so they may not have time to respond.

Any character unfortunate to not receive their gift will be compensated by Christmas in July! Sometimes artists need extra time after Christmas and New Years.

Now start signing up!

Uh-oh. Balzhemund got away from his handler and is now loose in a mall, full of lightly monitored appliances and electronics. The gears in his head are turning. What great and terrible things he will unleash!

He will happily accept gifts, and give gifts in return...once he finishes making them of course.

Santa-Fest
Even if it’s not related to gift-giving or whether you’re not participating in secret santa, anyone can participate in the hangout. Post a festive image and have characters walk around the mall. You can shop, play laser tag, sit in santa’s lap, or go ice skating on our indoor rink!

For Suggestors
Suggestors may also participate and gift a quest character! Post your idea for a present and who will receive it! Disclaimer: it will be up to the author to illustrate their characters accepting the gift. It’s a busy holiday, so they may not have time to respond.

Maya: "why are there so many moss shops here?"
Jaden: "Hey, uh, Maya? I've been hoping you'd notice it first, but- uh, I think someone tampered with the name slips. It has someone's name clearly underneath the green... writing? That's trying to spell out 'GREM'."
Maya: "wait, that's writing? i thought that was a drawing."
Jaden: "Did someone sneeze all over the names?..."
Maya: "im not a moss expert, but i think thats moss."
Jaden: "There could still be some snot on there..."

Will Maya and Jaden figure out who their actual giftee is?!
Who could be behind the mischievous tampering?!

It has been a week since Balzhemund found his way to the mall, and unable to find an exit, has plundered most of the stores. Security has been sent after him, but none have been heard from again. Little children are scared by his disheveled appearance and mutterings of 'almost complete', and his bizarre smell of cheese and vanilla.

"Sir, you return that Moss dog at once, a-and all that other stuff!"

"Who are you to be talking to me? You've been adequately compensated! My project needs moss!"

"You gave me a stack of expired coupons, a prescription slip for antidepressants, and a slice of salami, none of those things are legal tender, return those items at once or I'll call security again."

"...the fuck? Tell me faceless employee, do you have a family?"

Melvin has been enjoying his mall experience so far. Martin has lost track of how long he’s been here. Maxine has never seen such a place before. The group reconvenes.

MELVIN: “Alright team, any luck?”

MARTIN: “No, sir. I can’t make sense of any of the stores here. Many of them are unattended and some just seem to be selling… moss? Aren’t we meant to be on a work trip? Why does this calendar say we’ve travelled almost nineteen centuries into the future?”

MELVIN: “We are on a work trip! How are you going, Maxine? Any sign of our giftee?”

MAXINE: “No good, I haven’t had any chance to look, sorry. I’ve been too busy trying to unpack this enormous suitcase full of various things I brought from home. I think I overpacked!”

After scrutinising the contents of Maxine’s suitcase and the files given to them by the Ministry of Festivities, the three come up with several items to give.

MAXINE: “Our giftee wants to be a wizard, right? Luckily I brought my book of constellations with me. Every wizard needs to know them!”

MARTIN: “Well. I don’t know very much about wizards, but I do know that many of them are into foraging. I’m sure that this dagger will be able to cut wild herbs and mushrooms, and perhaps other ingredients.”

MELVIN: “Great work, guys! But what’s a wizard (or any gentleperson) without a cape and sword? So that’s exactly what I’ll give them.”

The result of this discussion is a somewhat elaborate setup of these items balanced on top of each other as best as possible, surrounded by a circle of moss.

MELVIN: “Now we’ve just got to wait. That little fella is sure to rock up sooner or later.”

Jaden wasn't sure what to make of this. A grievous loss? What was that about his car? How did they know about the candy in his glovebox? What happened to his car?!

Whoever this… long creature was, it certainly seemed to know a lot about them, things he couldn't even remember.

Jaden paused, uncertain whether to engage, what to say, what to feel. Their plan had been to try and blend in, but being the focus made that a bit difficult. If he didn't believe Maya's Theory before, he certainly did now.

Most people would likely feel a bit perturbed after being handed a papercraft version of themselves by a stranger, especially in circumstances like these. But Maya, holding said imitation of herself, didn't feel that at all. This confused her, as instead she felt the urge to cry.

The reason why, exactly, was unclear to Maya. Maybe it was due to the amnesia, but she couldn't remember the last time she received a gift imbued with this type of Love. Maybe it was due to the amnesia, but she couldn't remember the last time she felt this type of Love.
She wasn't sure how to react to such a thing. She didn't know how to smile from feelings other than anxiety and feigned cockiness. This all combined, left her with a significant difficulty with how to react to a kind gift.

Don't know what to give someone who has everything in existence? That's easy, just make something! If it doesn't exist yet, she doesn't have it yet. Creating something new is like a gift to the universe!

Or, well, you are agents and this is an official mission. Why not sign a requisition form and get something from outside the universe? Like "a book that cannot be written" or something. I don't know, you're the gift givers, you ought to figure it out.

Hmm, up the escalator here. Another store selling moss. I don’t get it. Surely this wasn’t in the time… oh! There she is!

“Hey! Dotti! Yoohoo!"

“Wew, I finally managed to track you down! Someone ended up graffiting the handouts, so I was just wandering around looking for you. Was lucky some nice elf pointed me this way, though maybe I shoulda considered coming here first, haha."

“Anyways, I’m your secret santa! I’ve got your gift, but we might as well have some lunch. Here, lemme grab you some before the mall cops getcha. My treat!" I just hope the dang employee accepts my gold.

“Mhm, cheezeborger. Ahh… here’s your gift by the way! It’s an amulet of Cassilda! Though that name probably doesn’t mean much to you, so y’know, it’s a really pretty necklace with a butterfly on it! There’s a small magical effect to I think you’ll like."

“It’s a variation of the Best Friend Pendant, except it only works with faeries and it doesn’t exactly need to be willing. Say if you got any fairy friends that’re being a little too annoying in the moment, eh? It’s not really ‘harmful’ either, depending on the definition. Though, be careful with it. Meant to be more for fun. I hope you enjoy it!"

Welcome to the mall, moth lady! Glad you finally made it. Enjoy the festivities, and don't be too put off by the locals. They might seem a bit weird at first, but a lot of them are fun once you get to know them. But some of them aren't, so approach them caution.

Tineola: My gift to you is a chastity belt. You get a sleek, form-fitting design with a built-in locking mechanism, so you can wear it discreetly under your new clothes.

Just thought you'd appreciate it if the colorless bird lady starts getting touchy-feely in a way you don't like. Or maybe in a way you do like. But you might need to take it somewhere else if you start getting intimate. We try to keep things safe for public viewing here in the mall.

Sam sighs and puts the form back in the festive envelope.

"Surprise is... overrated. Do you know how many sunsets I've seen? How many sunsets I've been? Trillions of times on Billions of planets. From every angle, every eye, across both electromagnetic spectra.

Fatalism isn't real. I don't know what the sunset will look like tonight. But I know every way it could look. And that's fine. Because a memory, or imagined future, pales in comparison to the lived experience. The here and now. The sunset tonight will be spectacular, or mundane, or completely hidden behind the clouds, and it will be worth seeing because I will be there to see it. Or something like that."
