December Event!

Hey, y'all! For Christmas this year, we're doing a low-key event that still has the potential for lighthearted fun, or other types of threads if you prefer. In short: for whatever reason (do Igor and attendants feel bad about the harm they've done by allowing in evil Ken? Are they concerned about their recent bad PR? Were they going to do this anyway, and you're overthinking it?), Igor is gifting everyone one thing on Christmas, and it can be anything you ask for.*
*some restrictions apply
This Thursday, a box will appear on his desk in the velvet room, with Santigor's face on it to haunt old residents and disturb new ones. There'll be a stack of paper and pens next to it, alongside a brief set of instructions. Characters can write their Christmas wish on a paper and deposit it in the slot in the top of the box. If it's something Igor won't grant, the paper will disintegrate into glimmers of blue light instead of falling into the box, and Igor will explain that he can't fulfill that wish. He may or may not be forthcoming if questioned about his reasoning.
Here are some examples of requests that would be granted:
• most weather effects, excluding very destructive ones
• more lighthearted pranks (with the consent of the other player)
• almost any physical item
• access to a place that the current setting doesn't include (though it would be a cognitive version of the place, like the cognitive Tokyo, Inaba, etc. that normally exist)
• the appearance of a shop that stocks items you haven't been able to find
• body modifications (wings, firebreathing, becoming a cyborg)
• new Personas
Some examples of requests that would not be granted:
• harm to another character, physical or otherwise
• weapons or other items you intend to use to harm another character
• bringing in a new character
• going home
• anything that can be used to break the game or circumvent game rules
Certain requests (new locations, some body modification, weather, etc.) might disappear after Christmas, or last only a few days. Others (body modification, most physical objects, etc.) may be permanent. If you have questions, please ask! Before Christmas, let us know what your final decisions for your characters are, either in the upcoming IC post or elsewhere.
