This is a two part social game.
> Part one (signups) will run through December 19th; during this phase, users will sign up by posting their kin and a short entry in the thread.

> Part two (RP/guesses) will run through December 26th; at the start of this phase, each participant will be PMed just what's inside their giftbox. Each gift has a matching gift that another kin has opened. The trick is to find your partner, describing your gift or what you think its match is using only one syllable words. Can you find your mate? Note: THIS GAME WILL BE PLAYED IN MODERN ERA HUMANOID FORM.

Each player can enter this contest only once.
The event will end on December 26th at 11:59PM EST (though historically, these things usually run long, until everything has been figured out!)

If you're ready to join, please post the following form in this thread, along with some RP of your kin (kin kin form!) choosing a wrapped gift from under the tree:

Humanoid Form Description: Stardust is a tall, strapping man with a glorious mane of blonde hair that he keeps back in a man bun. He is 'dressed up' which means a pair of jeans with a snakeskin belt and a teal polo. If non-human details are allowed, he's still sporting his horns. Otherwise, he has a rather gaudy golden belt buckle with a decal of a ram skull on it. He's usually got a smile on his face and has a very laid-back air about him.

Stardust glanced at the gifts under the tree and waited for someone to approach first, but it seemed no one wanted to start it off. He waited just a tiny bit more before talking a few steps forward, figuring he'd break the ice. Sometimes all it took was one kin to start a movement!

"Let's see...ooh, this one looks nice," he said, spotting a blue box wrapped with a white and gold bow. He pulled that one towards him before shuffling away from the presents, letting others pick their box. He was tempted to give the box a little shake to see if he could tell what was inside just by the noise but he wasn't sure if that would be cheating.

Humanoid Form Description: A young woman with long blond to brown hair with the saddest eyes. She is surprisingly tan, for someone who looks like they're far too shy to go outside. She's wearing a dark dress with small gold details that look like stars.

Wait a Lifetime has been pulled from the world with this unexpected tropical winter market. It's hard not to gravitate towards the warmth when one had expected frost, but she still keeps to the edge. She doesn't know anyone, but the palm tree all draped in lights . . . The presents beneath it seems to sparkle and, though she doesn't think for a minute there would be anything there for her, she peeks closely at a pale violet gift with silver ribbon. She can't take her eyes off of it, not even after the other kin come. It has to be hers.

She hesitates, until another a kin takes a gift, and then she slinks forward. She pulls the present towards herself, waiting for someone to say something. When no one does, she backs away with it.

Humanoid Form Description: Amber was an average-height lady with medium-length dark brown hair and hazel eyes. She was wearing a gold dress with silver beading and tear-drop earrings. Her silver flats completed the festive look.

Winter market had been abuzz with excitement since the start, and she was so curious about all there was to offer. The beach-esk theme was different, but she didn't hate it. Instead of a giant pine, a palm tree was draped in lights and presents below. She immediately spotted a gold-wrapped one and danced over to it on light feet, snatching it up with a bright grin, and then backed away and waited.

Kin Entering:
Humanoid Form Description: A tall lanky looking man with a grin that makes everyone around him uncomfortable. His hair is slicked down and to the side in a fauxhawk cut and is a deep blue color. His eyes are an unsettling color that no one can seem to agree on when he bothers to remove his sunglasses. He’s in jeans and a black tank top with black Sandler on his feet.

Humanoid Form Description: Wish Right Now is a statuesque woman with a heart shaped face and long, raven black hair falling to just above her hips. She wears a grey evening gown with glitter and sequins threaded into it to make it look like there are shooting stars moving across the fabric. The cascades like liquid down her form, hugging her curves and accentuating her frame. She smiles at everyone who comes near; radiating elegance, and exuding refinement, grace, and allure.

Kin Entering:
Humanoid Form Description: A young lady who would most definitely be described as short, though her preference and what she writes on her dating apps is petite. Her hair is dark and messily styled into a wavy stylish shoulder length bob. Her jacket is vivid red and green in striped blocky patterns that take the form of a butterfly on her back. There’s a cute little headband on her head with red, fuzzy ‘deelie boppers’ that bounce every time she moves.

With how she rocked back and forth on her heels with childish enthusiasm, Contact was clearly delighted to be here and taking part. She gave a clap to each person that accepted a gift, encouraging others to step forward as well. The more the merrier! It made a game all that more delightful if there were a lot of people having fun.

“Is it my turn now?” Her eyes gleamed, her moving forward with bounding steps to inspect the presents until she finally selected one that gave her the best vibes. She only just refrained from shaking it next to her ear and instead opted for holding it clasped within both hands like a sacred idol she was sworn to defend.

Kin Entering:
Humanoid Form Description: Often mistaken for his twin, Echo, Kavael is a delicately-built, effeminite man with waist-length blonde hair, golden brown skin, long-lashed, angled amber eyes and an upturned nose. He's dressed in a silky dress in a rich wine red, with a slit up both sides almost to the top of the leg. He holds a gauzy golden shawl around his elbows to match his minimal gold necklace, earrings and accent rings, half-hiding the small velvet bag on a golden chain where he keeps his phone and other essentials. His lips and almost claw-like manicure both match the colour of the bag and the dress exactly, and he's in a tall, strappy set of gold sandals.

He looks down at most the people gathered for the event as he approaches-- some because they're already seated, others because of just how tall he is even in flat footwear-- before finding a place to settle himself down, crossing a leg and leaning back before flipping his hair over a shoulder to settle in and wait. He pauses for a moment and his smile widens a touch as he notices Amber, a younger relative, and twiddles his fingers in her direction as he tries to catch her eye in an unobtrusive manner.

Kin Entering:
Humanoid Form Description: Androgynous and muscular, she's dressed in loose clothing that's covered in dirt, dust and other such substances. Her hair is dyed a soft blue and is cropped short, stopping just above her jaw line - the roots are growing in a muddy brown and it ends in soft curls. Her eyes are blue and they're always crinkled at the corner because she's always smiling. Her shins are covered in bruises, scrapes and scars. She's never standing still for long and she's always fidgeting, rhythmically tapping her fingertips - currently decorated with chipped mismatched nail polish and a single thumb ring with a frog and a mushroom - to her thumbs.

She steps forward and grabs a present from under the tree at random, not really putting much thought into it.

Kin Entering:
Humanoid Form Description: She is a young woman, with hazel eyes, rather reserved and observes situations. At first glance her hair appears brownish, almost black, but if you look closer you can see a very dark, teal-like color at the bottom. Despite her slim figure, her clothing style is rather loose, more towards comfortable, casual clothing, like cargo trousers and hoodies.

When it's her turn, she walks forward smiling shyly and takes a present wrapped in a beautiful dark red.

Kin Entering:
Humanoid Form Description: A talk man with a swimmer's build , tanned skin, and a sharp smile. Bright eyes are striking looking blue-green, and he's got a touch of scruff on his chin. His hair is dark and kept short, and generally looks as though he simply shoved it back while it's wet, and how it dries is how it'll be for the day.

His shoes are worn but quality, usually dark. Same with his jeans, faded along the thighs and ripped at the knees. He's got a blue-green flannel with the sleeves rolled back open over a fitted black tee shirt.

Kin Entering:
Humanoid Form Description: Short and stocky, she unabashedly loves brights, colors, and showing off her curves in leathers and fishnets. She styles her hair in big outrageous 80's curls, and does her make-up to match her bold colors. She doesn't care if she's "too old" for the fashion, she'll wear those chunky platform boots because they make her happy.

Despite the almost garish nature of her outfit, Sour's confidence allows her to pull it off. Her boots clomp loudly as she takes her turn to march up to the pile and get a gift.
