Neon lights reflect off shiny green wrapping like verdigris and ancient chrome. A ribbon the color of old blood ends in a bow more complicated than the virginity knot of a trained geisha. The package Mr. Johnson hands you is the size and heft of an adobe brick.
Micromillimeter radar bounces and bores through the foil, returning useless garbled crap in your image link. The chemsniffers have gone mad and question marks sidescroll along the bottom of your vision. You don't have to take a sniff to know your enhanced olfactory vision won't reveal a thing. Next to you in the booth, the shaman has started to whimper like a wounded dog and shy into the corner, as far away from it as possible. Not that you expected anything less. You don't have to ask what's in it. You already know. Fruitcake. |

Obviously it's going to someone the Mr. Johnson doesn't like.

Nice one. Someday, I'm going to send my players on the Fruitcake run just for the degree to which it will mess with their minds. |

After all this time, it even has a flavor in astral space.

So I ask again...Who's fruitcake is it, anyway? Ghostwalker?
Although, I'm not sure if I would try the one he would probably send back, he creeps me out. |

...I'd hate to even imagine the one Harlequin bakes up. Send you on another metaplanar quest to take on the legion of Evil Shedim Santas or something like that. :grinbig:
BTW Happy Christmas to all :ic: "...oh, and pilgrim, never, ever trust an elf...especially them ones who say they only make the toys." |

Just for that I will be personally sending each and every one of you exactly ONE loaf of my Great Grandmother's Secret Recepie Fruit Cake.
Which I, for one, happen to love. But if, by this time next year, you have not actually EATEN the GGSRFC, feel free to mail it to someone else on this forum, I assure you that while it may no longer be moist and chewy, it is still quite edible. Depending upon how you, personally, define 'edible'. |

Those fruitcakes actually sound fun. Im surprised, though, that they havn't began using fruitcake to rebuild the Barrens in lieu of plascrete.
And merry christmas all, hyvää joulua. |
