What'd the NPCs get for Xmas?
Nemesis would get a digital organizer. He and the Clockwork King would hang out and talk about how there's no good machinists running around Paragon.

Arachnos Operatives would be given a GENERIC CARE PACKAGE.
Jurassik would be given a Corvette to shove onto his mallet.
Sunstorm would be given sunscreen.
Statesman would receive a brand new Rolex from the Freedom Phalanx with a 'Lifetime Warranty'. He intends to test out whether or not they're serious.

Indigo and Crimson would both give each other some fed-ex missions that take them to every zone in Paragon City on a timer.
Black Scorpion would give Silver Mantis a solid steel whip.
I'm sure someone would give Reichsman some new jackboots.
Doctor Aeon: A complete print version of Girl Genius.
Doctor Vahzilok: Blu-Ray version of Young Frankenstein.
Snaptooth: A fresh bucket of blood to dye his cap with.
Nemesis: A copy of Illuminatus!

"A great love is alot like a good memory. When it's there and you know it's there,but it's just out of your reach. It can be all that you think about. You can focus on it and try to force it but the more you do, the more you seem to push it away. But if you're patient and hold still...maybe...just maybe...it will come to you. I just need to be somewhere she can find me" - Church from Red vs Blue
Sister Psyche would give Swan some less-revealing clothes.
Mako would do quite well. He would get a Treasure Chest that blows bubbles, a Deep-Sea Diver chained to it, and big sign that says "No Fishing".

* Captain Mako got the blu-ray collector's edition box set of Jaws; special Family Reunion Version.
* Statesman received a year's subscription to Barely Legal magazine. After much public embarassment and bad publicity an investigation revealled the billing address on the subscription to be somewhere in the Rogue Isles.

* Fusionette got a GPS tracking device.... surgically implanted under her skin.

City of Heroes comics and artwork
Statesman would give the Reichsman a signed 8x10 glossy, framed with the message "better luck next time!" written on it. and it's rigged to blow.
Longbow troops all get nothing from Longbow. They're soldiers, what do they expect? (Desertion rates have doubled)
Vanguard troops all get Rikti-gun-proof vests
Serpent Drummer gets a poisonous snake from Gaussian
Gaussian Gets the snake back from Serpent Drummer, tied in a knot.
the Clockwork King gets an Automaton body from Nemesis
Nemesis gets some batteries and a book on electrical engineering from the Clockwork King
Longbow Troops all get Iphones from Arachnos, with a lifetime pre-paid calling plan. (desertion rates have tripled)
Ghost Widow glares at Mako and Black Scorpion and threatens them with a Soulstorm every time they open their mouths to tell Wretch there's no Santa Claus ...
And I think that Wretch gets a train set ... probably from Scirocco. (He may not be a Christian, but something tells me the Big Softie would get gifts for Wretch and Ghost Widow ...) |
Now I have a mental image of Wretch sitting in the middle of a room circled by a toy train, Mako and Black Scorpion standing off to the side chatting, and Ghost Widow glaring at them, occaisionally shaking her head slightly when one of them starts looking ballsy.


I'm sure that Miss Liberty and Ms. Liberty get Statesman some tacky Christmas sweater every year.

Manticore got Sister Psyche a nightie ... and the present she got him is to WEAR it.
Synapse got Positron the complete Statesman: The Animated Series on Blu Ray. Posi got Synapse a book on monagamy that'll go unread ...
Synapse got Mynx some catnip and a scratching post ...
Luminary tries to get Citadel a personality and he gets her some metal polish ...
Redside, I am sure that Recluse holes up by himself and drinks some wine and thinks about happier times ...
Ghost Widow glares at Mako and Black Scorpion and threatens them with a Soulstorm every time they open their mouths to tell Wretch there's no Santa Claus ...
And I think that Wretch gets a train set ... probably from Scirocco. (He may not be a Christian, but something tells me the Big Softie would get gifts for Wretch and Ghost Widow ...)
So what do you think the NPCs got each other?
