poly_tldr | AND A PARTRIII~DGE IN A PEAR TREEEEE

23; A Partridge in a Pear Tree
A giant pear tree has sprung up in the middle of the Square and despite the weather it's already bearing tons of sweet delicious fruit. Of course each fruit belongs to a citizen and there's no way of knowing whose pear is whose. Eat a pear belonging to someone else and you'll see a memory of a Christmas they experienced.

Who wouldn't want fresh fruit in winter? Eat and be merry...and intrusive. Those aren't sugar plum visions, those are memories of Christmases past for someone else. These memories play out like a home movie. They can be as joyful as finally getting that Red Rider BB gun or heartbreaking as the time Grandma got ran over by a reindeer.

Characters who don't celebrate Christmas can use a memory of what they were doing during the equivalent of winter season like when Han was able to get Chewie back to Kashyyyk for Life Day or that winter the vampires took over the small Alaskan town.

Comment here to offer up your wintry memory and to pick a pear for your character to eat! Remember there is a pear for everyone. These pears can be shared so that two characters may experience one character's memory by eating the same pear. If a character wants to share a pear that can be arranged here as well!

Woe to any characters who become greedy! A lovely (large) partridge sits at the top of the tree and will attack any who try to eat too many pears. This bossy bird cannot be killed. While it may be a bird it has sharp talons and a pointy beak that won't quit. It will return to the tree once it drives the offending character away.

At midnight the fruit and tree will vanish in a snowy, feathery flurry.

Who wants to see a Christmas memory from this sexy beast, before he went all cat-like?

Penny would love to have a piece of Mao pear!

That sounds weird.

Charlie has a few okay Christmas memories. And one from the Shop. Who wants what?

Who wants some Andrew memories? Or some Jimmy memories? Or some Meyer memories of wintertime? 2/3 of my characters probably have Russian memories.

teeeeeeeempting.

You know you want to?

Anyone want a memory from Cain? Please, feel free! I'll be glad to offer it :3c

(He's the only one I'll be offering for this, though. Alas, no Cowboy or creepy mofo troll memories this go 'round. Maybe another time.)

I can offer skiing shenanigans from the movie or headcanon something Christmas related, if anyone wants! c:

There are years of happy Weasley Christmases as well as some lovely Hogwarts ones if people are in the mood for magic and some really cheesy family cheer.

It's Christmas Day 2004 and Chase is standing, unnoticed and alone, at the back of a small church where a group of nuns are participating in the Christmas Service. He turns to leave before the service is over, looking like the saddest, loneliest puppy in the world.

(Damned if you Do ending montage: season 1 ep 5).

May I? Well... may Penny?

She very much may ♥

Offering memories for either Sasuke or Amu if anyone wants either of theirs?

The main one I wanted to offer up for this was Berthier...

Since there is no Christmas on Nemesis, it pretty much consists of sitting in the cold dark of space staring up at the stars with her three sisters. Probably while playing with Koan's hair.

I'd be interested in Rose viewing Berthier's memory, if that's okay.

If anyone wants Rose's Christmas memories just let me know.

Feel free to comment here if you'd like a Christmas memory from Justin, Penny, Jinora, or Chekov! All of Jinora's will be non-Christmas and happy; all of Justin's will be sad and lonely. Penny and Chekov can be whatever you'd like.

♥

So would anyone like Wilson's super cheerful holiday memory of the confrontation in which his bff finds out he's just ratted him out to, as the kids say, the "po-po"?

Here's a video for your edification, if you'd like to see the scene itself.

Whoooooooooooooooo wants a nice memory of Christmastime with the Starks.

ah

ahhhhh?

you know you do.

I'm open to requests but in the case of any interest I can offer slightly less vague specifics.

Steve used to give me presents.......

Not sure about my general plans BUT available for your pleasure:

CAMERON: Third-season Christmas, in which Cameron tends to a detoxing House's self-inflicted cuts while talking about a sick dwarf. [transcript link / video link]

NEIL: because I am a terrible person, you are welcome to either a) a standard, if rather reserved, '50s Christmas at the Perry household, or b) Neil's suicide, since it's seasonably appropriate. Can't find a video, sorry loves!

FRANKIE: your choice between cheesy-but-pleasant Christmas with little!Frankie and his brother, or dark and un-festive vampire Christmas. If interested let me know and I'll make up some more details.

AZIRAPHALE: So, uh. Inasmuch as Aziraphale is an angel, his Christmas memory is your standard nativity scene. Wise men and a manger and all that. Feel free to be aware of a slightly-less-corporeal (but permissibly recognizable) Az' watching the festivities. 8D

ISAAK: I haven't come up with anything in particular, but if you're interested I will try to think up something... idk idk.

Suicide, pleasepleaseplease? For Justin? Pleeeeeeeeeease?

S-something Isaak-related for Checkers?

offering up the first Johnson family Christmas after their parents left. Lots of Axl crying about not getting as many presents and Mike locking himself in the bathroom with a bottle of scotch.
