Eighth Week
[Both the Mads are curled up on the couch, under a pile of tacky Santa Claus blankets. There appears to be something on the T.V. in front of them. It sounds like a Rankin-Bass special.]
Dr. F: Well, hello and a happy holiday to you and yours, Winter Wonder-dweebs! Frank and I figured that this year, we’d have a relaxing Christmas break and not get each other gifts!
Frank: [Looks a bit upset] Oh. Well, uh...I got you something...
Dr. F: Oh. That’s. Nice, Frank.
Frank: And it was...kind of expensive...
Dr. F: Very sweet of you, Frank. Anyways, we’re going to spend our holiday doing the only thing cranky and bitter families can agree to do together...watch Christmas specials! Whether you’re watching loveable clay-mation Rudolph, or Tim Allen putting on a fat suit once again, Christmas specials unite everyone from pseudo-liberal college hipsters to their creepy uncles who forward them conservative scare emails under that glorious emblem of evil: commercials! What better way to celebrate your consumer spirit than by indulging in three to four hours worth of them!
And in the spirit of the consumerist season, we’d like to present you with a warm helping of Modelland, written by the very famous Tyra Banks! Harry Potter, it ain’t!

[OOC]
It’s Christmas time on the Satellite of Love! And your characters will get to experience some Christmas specials of their own, even if they don’t get to actually watch them. A number of different effects spring up during the week, and here’s just some of them for starters:
- It begins snowing on the Nature Deck. Any snowmen made with the snow on the deck and then given a hat will come to life, and start to sing and dance.
- The Weapons Deck goes completely empty, save for one tiny, scraggly little Christmas tree, with a too-heavy ornament on it. Maybe it just needs a little sprucing up?
- Characters may discover ‘misfit toys’ in their rooms.
- No matter what people ask for from the food synthesizer, they will get what they ask for, but also get Who Pudding or Roast Beast.
- Characters find a really good homemade backscratcher in the bathroom.
- Any dogs or canine characters may discover fake antlers tied onto their heads.
Look out, because more strange effects and visitors will show up as the week goes on and into the next!
Your experiment this week is chapter one of Modelland. The following characters have been assigned riff duty:
Sam the Eagle
Princess Luna
Midna
Current SOL morale is:
Decent
