[open] If Santa Claus isn't coming to town, we have to go and find him.

Attention! By popular vote the Big Finale has been postponed!

Who: Everyone!
What: As announced, the NSCG+friends have been called to Lapland! There, they travel North, hunt down some kidnappers and finally discover...
When: 13th-19th 24th of January after Toushiro and Dani's post.
Where: Lapland
Warnings: Abduction of children, scary Santa Clauses, violence, one instance of (not graphically described) brutally murdered reindeer



On the David Graibiger and Monika Hallbach will greet the numbered in Rovaniemi and together they will all get on a bus northwards. Up there, they will all room in a few cabins, each with two four-person-bedrooms; food will be provided and the beds are made, but they'll have to cook for themselves. TV is available in the living room/kitchen of each cabin, but the internet connection sucks. Up there, they will be taught how to drive a car in the snow, how to drive a snowmobile, how to shoot a rifle if they have no combat power (for self defense). They will then be tasked with one of the following things:

1. People with combat powers: Go out there and hunt down the kidnappers! If those people seek for long enough, they will find:
- Haggard, wild looking old men with unkempt beards who are either dressed in red santa's clothes or have been jammed into green fur suits, their faces painted green with what appears to be markers. These men are feral: They will run away but, if attacked, use hands and teeth to fight, and not be afraid of injuring a person in any way. They are superhumanly strong, but seem to be incapable of human speech - they can seemingly neither speak nor understand what is said.
If a child of up to 14 years is with the group, they are much more likely to find one of these as the beings are seeking out children. They will try to get their hands on and run away with the child in question.

2. People without combat powers: They will be sent on various trips to look at sightings, talk to people, etc. These include, but are not limited to:
- Talk to the parents of abandoned children. There isn't much information to be had from the conversations themselves, but keen numbered will realized that there are vermini in the bedrooms of the vanished children...
- Checking out a flock of reindeer that was bitten to death - yet whatever killed them doesn't seem to have eaten anything. Disturbingly enough, the brave researcher will realize that these were human teeth that killed them...
- Checking out an abandoned excavation site. The only description is that the mad guy who just recently started it (no, nobody knows who he was or why he did it or how he got the permission) hasn't be seen in almost a month now and the workers left for Christmas and didn't return after it. The place is full of vermini, but vermedi can also be found. What they will find too is a letter in Russian, written by the two last guards of the place, in which they resign from their spot, quoting that none of their tasks, which they describe as "watching lunatics and guarding the rise of a monster", was in the job description and that they just aren't paid enough. If someone wants to try, these guards can be tracked down, just comment to the Lapland plot post and ask for more information.

3. Everyone:
- Captured not!santas and not!grinches, after having been tied up or locked up or something similar, need to be watched. And questioned, but really, they will only be violent and still not say a thing or show intelligence above a scared badger. The only way to get any information out of them will be to set one free and hope that they lead the numbered to the place that they live in, but through trial and error one who attempts that will realize that they'll only return there once their mission of kidnapping a child is accomplished.

4 And last but not least
- Much more MUNDANE and nothing that they will strictly be tasked with but: Cooking! Fighting over the shower, throwing things at the snoring person in the next bed. Learning how to shoot, learning driving, petting reindeer, fun in the snow, do you want to build a snowman... go wild!


Please start your own threads and head over to the Lapland plot post if you have questions, need more information on something, want an NPC, want more tasks, etc.

[Danny looks down at the ingredients and thinks for a moment before he realizes he has no idea how to cook or what half these ingredients even are. So he covers his eyes with one hand and with the other feels out the countertop.

He picks out four ingredients randomly and sets them aside before opening his eyes again. He points to the pile of four.]


Anything, so long as it uses all four of those things.
waltharius: (dead)

[personal profile] waltharius 2015-01-21 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
[ AAAAAAND THE WINNERS ARE... chips, garlic, a bag of brown sugar, and chicken breasts. ]

Well, that... could've gone way, way worse. Good job, sous chef.
gogoghostpowers: ([F] i don't believe...i don't believe)

[personal profile] gogoghostpowers 2015-01-22 08:20 am (UTC)(link)
[He raises a skeptical eyebrow.]

Really? You think that could've been worse? What the heck can you possibly make with those four things?
waltharius: (pic#7406561)

[personal profile] waltharius 2015-01-23 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
Please, Danny. Have a little more faith in me.

[ The chips are pita chips, and he has an idea. He pours a bunch into a ziploc baggie and sets it on a counter before handing Danny a big metal spoon. ]

Your job is to smash these to bits.
gogoghostpowers: ([F] like flowers in the dead of night)

[personal profile] gogoghostpowers 2015-01-28 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
[He stares skeptically at Walter, but accepts the spoon.]

What? Really? [He's got a skeptical grin on his face.]

Well, alright, but if this goes wrong, it's your fault!

[And with that, he sets about smashing the pita chips inside the bag.]

[personal profile] waltharius 2015-01-28 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
You issued the challenge. And you have to eat whatever I make.

[ Since Danny never said he couldn't include any other ingredients, he grabs several other spices as well as a carton of eggs. Once he's got a spice mixture, including the brown sugar, he cracks a couple eggs into a bowl. ]
gogoghostpowers: ([F] it isn't true)

[personal profile] gogoghostpowers 2015-01-28 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
So do you.

[He gives it a few more good thwacks and decides the chips are crumbled enough. He brings them over in the bag to Walter with a slight smirk.]
waltharius: (pic#7626885)

[personal profile] waltharius 2015-01-28 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Danny is getting the corner of his mouth poked, sort of in a 'I am going to wipe that smirk off your face' gesture. After receiving the chip bits, he adds the spice mixture to them, shakes everything up a bit, and spreads the result on a plate. ]

Are you ready for the fun part?

[ He's got the chicken cut into strips and covered in a layer of flour. The eggs have been whisked together with just a bit of garlic. He demonstrates by dipping a piece of chicken in the egg wash before rolling it around in the breading. This is incredibly messy. ]
gogoghostpowers: ([F] like flowers in the dead of night)

[personal profile] gogoghostpowers 2015-01-30 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Danny scoffs a little.]

Walter, no offense, but if this is your idea of fun, then you need to get out more.
waltharius: (fuck all putty)

[personal profile] waltharius 2015-01-31 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
...oh, shut up.

[ He flicks his fingers at Danny. His eggy/garlicky/pita-chippy fingers. Serves you right. ]
gogoghostpowers: ([F] like flowers in the dead of night)

[personal profile] gogoghostpowers 2015-02-01 08:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Danny holds his hands up to guard his face from the food onslaught.]

Ugh, gross!
waltharius: (by a time to rise)

[personal profile] waltharius 2015-02-04 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
Remember to respect the guy handling your food, okay? Important life lesson.

[ A pause, and then another flick if Danny lets his guard down. ]
gogoghostpowers: ([F] for maybe just one more)

[personal profile] gogoghostpowers 2015-02-07 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll respect it when I taste it.
waltharius: (sick of hearing about the head honcho)

[personal profile] waltharius 2015-02-08 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
I think my record speaks for itself.

[ He finishes breading the chicken and gets everything in the oven. Now they play the waiting game. ]
gogoghostpowers: ([F] it isn't true)

[personal profile] gogoghostpowers 2015-02-08 07:57 am (UTC)(link)
[He crosses his arms as he leans against the counter.]

What
record? I haven't eaten your cooking before, you're looking at a fresh slate with me!
waltharius: (it's llike Shut the fuck up)

[personal profile] waltharius 2015-02-09 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
...but you've had plenty of my baking.

[ Sure, it's not the same thing as cooking, but. Shhhhhhhh. ]

You can stick around and help me with the beans or leave and wait for dinner.
gogoghostpowers: ([F] i don't believe (i don't believe))

[personal profile] gogoghostpowers 2015-02-13 08:28 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I'm already here. I might as well help.
