WW XLI: Happy Wolf Christmas

Recommended Posts

As Thomas walked past Rudydur again and the latter changed its colour to yellow once more, suddenly it noticed Thomas' mood and started pondering a little more, its lights now turning green and purple, the equivalent of a brow frowned in concentration.

 

After all, there hadn't been any accidents last night. Not even any accidents involving axes. Perhaps that was thanks to Thomas being there, instead of thanks to Thomas being there but not being able to decide what accident to cause.

 

Hmmm ...

 

And perhaps, or possily quite certainly, Joaquim really had been the only agent that the Grinch had managed to sneak in here. Perhaps every time someone accused someone else now, they were falsely accusing one of their own! There was no real way to be certain, though, at least until another accident happened.

 

The next time Thomas walked past Rudydur, which had gotten its name as the result of an elaborate joke among some packaging elves, he noticed that it was cheerfully blinking many colours again.

 

OOC: Changing my vote once again to nobody at all. Because there really weren't any accidents. Besides, I'm a strand of christmas lights. If I get to change colours all the time, why not votes? :D

Unknown to most, Santa also had his own secret resources. Although he did not like the mutterings and finger-pointing among his trusted workers, he knew that it could be used positively -- to make any possible agent nervous and, maybe, make mistakes.

 

And so it was that while walking back to his office, Santa saw Daffyd doing his best to court a lamp post. The glittery reindeer was obviously drunk, and Santa was reminded of the few times the other reindeers, including Rudolph, had indirectly complained about the vanity and behaviour of that last addition to his team.

 

Hmmmm... vanity is a powerful driving force...

 

Santa proceeded to give an amiable slap on Daffyd's rump, which resulted in a startled screech from the part of the reindeer. Without giving him time to wonder much, Santa striked in a conversation about glittering hides and nice male reindeers, and how nice Daffyd's hide was and how he had wondered where he got that nice effect so he could get some for Rudolph too...

 

"Oh... not that difficult really... *hic* ... " Hearing the name of his beloved soulmate and immediately picturing how simply beautiful he would be with a glittering coat to match his, Daffyd just went on talking about the last day off he had and how lucky he was to meet that somewhat weird neighbor Mr Grinch who offered the services of his own personal coat-glitterer for just some smalll favors like forgetting a back door unlocked, after all what was so harmful in one small, forgotten door open at night so that someone could slip in a gift for Mr Santa...

Rudydur blinked happily now that the Grinch's agent had been discovered. It used all colours in the rainbow, and then several that weren't in any colour palette known on the north pole, or anywhere else on the planet. With some effort, it even managed to get out a crackling christmas tune, although it quickly stopped doing that when it heard how horribly mangled that sounded.

 

Green blue blue blue

Red ye-he-llow

Green blue red ye-llow purrr-pleeee

 

White blue gold spaaaarkling octarine,

Brown beige and siiiiilver yellow bronze

...

 

OOC: Voting for Tanuchan/The Mod. No, wait, make that everyone! Or, no, Tanuchan/The Mod after all!

 

...

 

"The game is over" would have been useful information before I typed those votes :P
