WHO: Akira Kurusu, local nasty crimeboy and people
WHERE: places in Recolle
WHEN: throughout this god forsaken month of December
WHAT: December happenings (includes event log stuff, Catmosphere Cat Santa, and... stuff) Thank god i wrote up a comment. Reply to the plotting comment if you would like Akira to send your character a Christmas card, too!!
WARNINGS: Akira existing.

santa is coming to town

[ The cat cafe staff have spent relentless hours deliberating over the limited edition Christmas menu all for naught, but they changed their process for the whole month. All hail aromatherapy! You'll be hit with the refreshing smell of fresh pine, peppermint, cookies if you lurk any deeper. Everyone's favorite carols are also playing... mixed in with carols sang by cats. You may curse the owner for this. They also have a cat music video for these carols on some of the flat screen TVs that would usually show menu items.

So Akira is at work dressed up as... Santa. Without the beard at least, but his outfit is rather extravagant for the occasion. Of course there's that small touch of cat ears attached to the hat. It wouldn't be Catmosphere Cafe without it! He's seated on a grand throne, decorated with snowflakes, ribbons, and presents around it. The cats aren't tearing it apart, either. Amazing. ]

Have you been naughty or nice?

spice adventures

[ Usually, he would ask someone he knows to join him, but... He feels a bit off as of late. It means that he'll be dragging some poor soul (or even call up random people) to join him on his quest. With taste being gone, this is one way to entertain himself when he's hungry.

If you even look at a restaurant momentarily with a spicy challenge, Akira is there with a flyer for it. ]

Want to give it a try together? It'll warm us right up.

[ If you need a reference as to how well your character handles spice, please refer to this chart. Akira is three chili peppers hoping to level up... This will help with anyone's courage stat, too. ]

christmas event surprise

[ Akira definitely has been a victim of garlands, mistletoe bats, and slipping on ice like an idiot. Go ahead and and pick your choice! He's running away as fast as he can from two out of those three and, like his predecessor, will pretend to be dead if he slips on ice.

Also, for those that are around when he opens his present from the Retrospec Christmas tree, you'll notice he has been staring inside the box he opened...

For a long time. He remember reading the description as "a stone worth 100k yen" on his ticket, but... Uhm. ]

wildcard!

[ HIT ME. Akira's cat won't be joining him later in December due to the cold, but he's around the university and sometimes the most desolate of areas. Anyone may even catch him or a dragon in the forest. ]

[ (of course it’s fake. childhood mystery: solved).

but was he seriously telling him to reach up his sleeve? eren’s brows furrow with doubt (because what other big surprise could there be?), but his forming grin gives his diversion away. fine, he’ll bite. he’ll try to reach in with just his fingers, keep an eye (both eyes) on akira. do your worst. ]

One of those cloth things?

[ you know, the one that’s tied onto another that’s tied onto another and just never stops? he’s onto your trickery. amaze him. ]

[maskreant]

I don't have those on me today.

[ Hopefully that doesn't disappoint Eren at all. Instead of finding any cloth or maybe a bunny, Eren can pull out a rather realistic dagger... Except from its weight and feel, it's a toy.

It was definitely not there when Eren was feeling around earlier, but ta-da?! ]

[ dude wtf

out with a handle pinched between his fingers . . . comes a blade made of rubber. eren snorts, but he’s still smiling and holds it up, swinging the blade. ]

I’ll kill to know what you really use this for.

[ questionable props to just CARRY AROUND AKIRA ]

[maskreant]

To cut stuff, obviously?

[ Akira will take the dagger back when Eren is done with it. While there's no transformation cue with background music or special effects, it is suddenly a real knife in his hands. Look at that sharp sheen under the light.

Turning toys into hazards is his power. ]
