[Frank is currently passed out on the couch, surrounded by burnt caramel corn, various kinds of alcohol and gingerbread cookies. It looks like there was recently an explosion in a hastily-constructed fireplace. Dr. F walks onscreen, looking battered and a little weary.]
Dr. F: Ohhhh, he’s so cute sleeping like that. I could almost forgive him for trying to pop already-popped caramel corn and setting the living room on fire. But instead I’m just not getting him a Christmas present. Which. I’m not getting him anyway.
[He glances back up at the camera] Whaa-aaat? You gonna judge? How about you have another deliciously spicy helping of ‘The Thirteenth?’ Just a little fruitcake for all you fruitcakes!

[OOC]
There’s one more wave of Christmas special effects showing up on the ship this week! In addition to everything else, look out for these:
- Characters may find Christmas crackers (explosives) around the place.
- Characters may feel the urge to speak in rhyme.
- Jelly beans and Christmas ornaments may be found scattered on the hall floors...don’t go and trip on them!
- Characters may find a very long-eared donkey wandering around the decks.
- If a character rings a bell, they'll later receive a thank-you note from an angel for the wings.
In-game Christmas will actually be this coming Wednesday. Your characters will wake up to a special surprise...it seems Santa has visited the Satellite! Each character receives a small gift at the foot of their beds! It’s up to you what gift your characters will receive.
One more thing: there will be a Christmas party set up by Mike and the bots starting at Today, so that people have time to tag into it. Everyone is invited! But beware...your character is likely to end up with some unexpected consequences if they attend!
Your experiment this week is chapter one of The Thirteenth. The following characters have been assigned riff duty:
Maes Hughes
Dr. Insano
Namine
Current SOL morale is:
Decent
