-Happy Holiday Raffle!- (WINNER ANNOUNCED)

Postby Freezair » 11/30/2011 5:05 PM

Some people like Christmas. Some people really like Christmas. And some people are crazy.

The bell-ringer was clearly one of the latter.

Image


December was upon Evelon, and with that, the Christmas spirit was beginning to awaken in its inhabitants. For some people, the chill in the air was their alarm clock. But the Piyo who stood in front of the tree had clearly never fallen asleep in the first place. And although he appeared to be in human form, the orange Santa hat resting on top of his impressive afro and the tuft of orange feathers sticking out of his faux-fir-trimmed red disco jumpsuit made it clear what he was. He rang the bell with such ferocity, one might expect his arm to have fallen off. But he rang that little bell, and he jumped, and he hollered, and he danced to the sounds of "Jingle Bell Rock" blaring out of the old-school boom box behind him.

That wasn't all that was behind him. There was also the enormous tower of presents.

Giant store displays of empty wrapped boxes were nothing new, but those generally didn't have air holes drilled into them. Nor did they jump and pounce when people got close. Eventually, one would have to stop, sit still, and listen to the ramblings and ravings of the disco-Piyo-man in order to figure out what was going on.

"Hey, cats!" he shouted. "Come one, come all to our hoppin' Holiday Raffle! ONE LUCKY WINNER TAKES ALL!" He whistled sharply. "That's right, my friends! One of YOU lucky ducks could win the ENTIRE stack of gifts and presents you see, right behind me!" He whipped his bell around in a wild gesture. "Impressive? Of course it is! And! It comes complete with its own hefty KS pot." He did another disco spin and pointed to the kettle of Keystones next to him.

"Would you like a go at this fabulous prize? Of course you would, pal," he chuckled. "Then peep your gazers over at the rules, my fine friend!"

-RULES!-


1. To enter the contest, RP your entry here! All you need to do is post. You don't have to pick a number or anything.

2. This is a potluck raffle! In addition to RPing your entry, you must donate one of the following things to join!
----One or more pets (Send them to me in a trade note)
----Any amount of KS, with a minimum of FIFTEEN KS to join (I'll post the amount of KS donated here, so I won't spend it, don't worry)
----If you already donated in the Secret Santa help thread, simply link to the post in which you donated pets, and you'll be in!

3. The raffle will be open for entries until DECEMBER 24TH. In other words, it closes on Christmas Eve.

4. After the raffle ends, I will draw one person who randomly entered the raffle to win. That person will win the ENTIRE raffle pot: All the pets AND all the KS paid as entry fees. At that point, I will send them all to the person who won.

5. BONUS MINI RAFFLE! If there are any pets left over from the Santa's Workshop RP, there will be a smaller Bonus Raffle! The Bonus Raffle will open when the Santa's Workshop RP closes. You won't submit pets for that one, or KS. You'll just RP for that one. Watch this space for Bonus Raffle details!

Alright...I believe that it should be open now, since it says it was posted at around 4pm my time, and it is now 7am. Also, I wasn't sure if I was allowed to enter since I'm being a GM with another aspect of the Secret Santa event and all, but if I am allowed to, I would love to enter the raffle.

I donated all the pets in this thread, so I believe that payment/entry isn't necessary for me?

My, my. What is this?
It seems like someone had dropped off some box when the crazy-looking Piyo had not been looking. Upon closer inspection, this box had...air holes? Well, no wonder, since there seems to be a Bilby Rollaby squirming around inside! Well now, who would have done this?
Oh, there's a note.
Please forgive me for not appearing myself, as I am rather busy.
I would like to enter this year's Christmas raffle, please. I do believe that the donation of this Rollaby would be sufficient?
Thank you very much.
Jaden Wolf

...
Well, that was interesting.
You can pretend that when you hear my voice, darling, it's your choice not to fall in.

But it's all an act, 'cause I know exactly what you're wanting. You know it's what I'm wanting

Boy I know what you desire, oh, you're such a bad, bad liar

This could be perfection, or venom dripping in your mouth

Singing like a Siren, love me while your wrists are bound

Oh, another Christmas event! The common kuhna was so excited about all the holiday spirit about Evelon this season, she could barely contain herself. As she listed to the piyo man talk, she wondered if her owner had donated anything yet. Well, even if she didn't, Kandi herself would do something about it. So she left, just to return later with a red wagon with cardboard boxes with air holes in them. "Here you go," she said cheerfully. "I found these guys just lying around, so I think I can donate 'em!" She smiled happily, "So, I'd like to enter the raffle please!" She also pulled a bag of ks from the wagon and handed them to the man. "And, this is what I can spare after my holiday shopping!"

((I'm going to PM you some pets and donate ks shortly. :3))

And I was runnin' far away
Would I run off the world someday?
Nobody knows
Nobody knows, and
I was dancing in the rain
I felt alive and I can't complain

Anthos walked up to the piyo and smiled kindly. "Hello there little one." He handed over a piece of paper and waited patiently. "I was told by Talcen that this would be enough to enter. I hope he's right. That silly man always so confused. Especially this time of the year."
The paper read:
http://landsofevelon.com/viewtopic.php?p=369851#p369851


"He said those are the pets and he'll be sending some keystones your way shortly. Thank you for this wonderful oppertunity." He smiled again and left feeling uncomfortable with this whole cheery atmosphere.


You can't wake up, this is not a dream
You're part of a machine, you are not a human being
With your face all made up, living on a screen
Low on self-esteem, so you run on gasoline

I think there's a flaw in my code
(Oh, ooh-oh, ooh-oh, oh)
These voices won't leave me alone
Well, my heart is gold and my hands are cold

Are you deranged like me?
Are you strange like me?
Lighting matches just to swallow up the flame like me?
Do you call yourself a fucking hurricane like me?
Pointing fingers 'cause you'll never take the blame like me?

This looked interesting. She wasn’t sure what it was about, but the word Christmas always made her feel giddy inside. The lights, the trees, the gingerbread, the decorations, the hot cocoa the- Okay, maybe she was getting ahead of herself, but she just loved Christmas. All the clean-up and decorating wasn’t too fun, but everything else was awesome. “Good day, my good afro headed piyo!” she exclaimed, throwing her arms wide as she approached. “I would like to enter, good sir.” She plopped her keystones down with a note of paper, and winked conspiratorially. “I think that donation counts, right?” That said, she quickly slunk away back into the crowd.

Donation

I love adventurous tales like that. That uplifting feeling that comes from seeing unknown lands and the knowledge that you came across—nothing can replace it! It opens a path from which self-confidence, experience, and important friendships—from the sharing of life or death situations—are born! But hearing it just isn’t the same. I want to create my own magnificent story!



A great adventure!

Ahh, Christmas. Azrael enjoyed the holiday very much while he was still a member of the living world, and his current job as a Reaper did not lessen that joy any. He loved to observe the cheer that went around, and Christmas was definitely a nice break from his normal duties. He had heard there was to be a raffle of some sorts, so he decided he'd give it a shot. He waltzed up to the afro-wearing Piyo and gave a small bow. "Greetings. I heard that there's a holiday raffle? I would very much like to enter."

(Donated pets in this post and a second post, will send the pets to you shortly: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=16421&start=15#p369008)

Just a note to say that the prize list is up!

Impressive, isn't it? And that's still a relatively small portion of the donations we received! There's some really good goodies in there. :D

I'm so cool (too bad I'm a loser).
I'm so smart (too bad I can't get anything figured out)!
I'm so brave (too bad I'm a baby).
I'm so fly
That's probably why it feels just like I'm falling for the first time!

The cold air made Chiya smile. This was really the only time of the year she really came out of her shop to enjoy the scenery. She felt the need to actually do something exciting, something that would bring some excitement to her normally exciting life. She smiled slightly as she saw the man with the stack of large prizes behind him. She smiled slightly and then nodded to herself. She would love to win those prizes, if not only to give them away for Christmas. She smiled and then walked up to the man, her wings flapping. "I would love to join the raffle. I will be donating KS towards the raffle," She said with a smile.

((Sending KS now~ :3)

Locked away in permanent slumber,
Assembling their philosophies,
From pieces of broken memories.

And truth be told, I never was yours.

Zen slid his way into the raffle room, Christmas was upon them once again. He never really celebrated Christmas, there wasn't really anyone to celebrate with. It was interesting to see all of those who did. As the snow flakes fell upon his face, he slid his way to the bird with the Santa hat. "Hello, I would like to enter the raffle, please. I have a slip of paper that has a list of some pets that was donated not to long ago." Zen throat was getting dry from the cold air that surrounded him. "I hope I'm not late to enter. If I am, I'll take my leave."

Juanita loved Christmas, it was without a doubt her favourite time of the year. Sure, the paragon had never really been too keen on the cold but the amount of joy and happiness that could be around at this time more than made up for it. She saw the change in people, how they'd tip their hats to one another instead of acting like they didn't exist, how they were far more charitable than usual. It was a happier time of year in general.

The paragon had heard about the raffle and thought it was worth taking a look, she hadn't been wrong. "Hello there, I'd love to enter this raffle of your's! Here's a list of what I donated earlier!"

Firetra, a young teenage boy in a black leather jacket with the style of age, walks into the raffle place. "Hello",he said, " Can I enter this raffle?" He asked with hopefulness in his eyes. "I would really like to help out so I donated some pets earlier today, but I will also pay the raffle fee, just to be nice to the people who win." He said with a grin, obvious in a giving mood. "Thank you!"


I WILL pay the fee, but I donated pets on the main page. PM me if you want me to send them to you or something else.



Because I could not stop for Death,
He kindly stopped for me;

Amuse really shouldn't have been out of the realm of Anathema for such a thing, but for some reason the Holiday events really... well... amused her. She liked the warm cozy feeling of other people being happy and singing carols, and having a good time giving and receiving gifts. Of course such a thing would disgust her master, Midnight, but she didn't care. As a familiar to that loon, she should have a chance to get her own free time.

"I would like to enter the raffle please, it sounds like so much fun!"

(Will be donating pets and paying the fee~)

Christmas was always a good time of year; a nice time of year. Snow fell, gifts were given, shops, streets and houses were decorated and people were happy. While the first few were the most appealing to children, Naomi liked the fact that people were happy the most and as the wide-eyed child clung to the side and regarded the Piyo-man with childish curiousity, the normal lines of stress and fear were (for now) gone from her face.

Simply, when people were happy, she was happy. The vibes that she got, changed the visions that she received people. Their futures were no different, but she was more likely to envision good things about their future, instead of heartbreak, death, or sickness.

Naomi stepped forward, rearranged her laced purple skirts and cautiously approached the man, a small amount of keystones clasped in her small hand. "Hey, I'd like to enter, sir!" She chirped happily, her soulful eyes regarding the man with a maturity well past her age. "I have these for you, here take them."

She handed him a fist full of Keystones - 75KS in total - making sure to avoid contact with him and those around her, before flouncing off back towards her foster parent's apartment.

Stare in the darkness
Are you scared? Are you free?
I can be fair or a monster
Tell me now, which one do you need?

I can feel teeth tear into me
Rip me to pieces, rock me to sleep
I can feel eyes staring at me
Getting uneasy, ready to feed
I can feel teeth

This was a girl who had not shown her face in quite some time. Despite her public absence, she was not shy. She held her head high and gave the Piyo a friendly smile when she greeted him.
"Hey! I'm Aeris, and I'm here on behalf of Chayden. She's donating a bunch of things that she says she's mentioned before, but she just wanted me to come and remind you of them."
The Drakel girl nodded appreciatively as she looked over the list of donations. "That's some pot! I don't even know what I'd do with so many things, m'self."
Aeris had been glad to get out, but already she missed the Cirque. Now her job was done, and she was free to return, hopefully to set up some holiday celebrations of her own with her friends.
