Krampusjail Pajama Party | OPEN
Who: All of the Prisoners of the Krampus.
Where: Some unground dungeon that definitely wasn't here before all this started.
When: All event
Rating: PG - R, depending on exactly how naughty your characters have been.
Summary: Catch-all log for Krampusjail shenanigans throughout the event! So you were a bad person and got yourself tossed into Krampusjail in the middle of the night - now what?
The Story:
If your character is someone who could be considered “naughty” or “a terrible human being” for whatever reason then they may be visited by the Krampus this Ewaymas. For the first day they will hear chains rattling intermittently throughout the day, and only they (and others the Krampus has targeted) will be able to hear these chains. Then, that night, when they're trying to sleep, the Krampus will come for them in the middle of the night. He will then proceed to smack them around with birch branches and shove them into a woven basket and carry them away. The naughty character in question will find themselves thrown into a dark dungeon (in a place that looks suspiciously like the caves and tunnels of Wonderland, but far enough down that no one can hear them). There are multiple cells though, so they may have some company in Krampusjail. The Krampus will occasionally come by like a horrible jailer to hit them with his birch switch and get them to admit their wrongdoings and atone for them, but otherwise they will be left alone to think about what they've done. For food, they will have water brought to them and small baskets of adorably horrifying bread in the Krampus' likeness. If a character starts to show that they really regret their behavior and that they're really sorry, whether the Krampus is there or not, the door will swing open and they will be released early. If they lie about how sorry they are or they refuse to apologize, they will have to serve their full sentence – which will be three to five days, depending on exactly how naughty they've been.
Since the maximum sentence is five days, put the dates your character will be in Krampusjail in the subject of your top level, so others will know whether their characters will be jailed at the same time or not! If you have questions, please direct them to The Event's FAQ thread. Prose or [Brackets] are more than welcome!

Wow, three whole things you haven't done. That's impressive.
[ Now she chuckles, shaking her head. Maybe this experience wont be so bad if it's full of situations like this. ]
You know, there's more to you than I gave you credit for originally, old man.
no subject
Yeah, yeah. I'm sure you say that to all the hardened criminals you know.
[She seems like a kid who knows her fair share of them, if his impression of her is right. It makes it pretty easy to turn the question back around at her.]
So what about you? What'd you do to get thrown in the slammer, kid?
no subject
[ She grins, crossing one ankle over the other. She does know her fair share of criminals--some hardened, some a little softer, but you know. Not all of them get credit for their work, so he should take it as something special, if his reasons for being here really are that diverse. ]
Nothing really worthy of being here. [ She doesn't think, anyway. ] Pick-pocketing mostly. Bit of theft. Couple B&Es. Nothing major, but sure as hell nothing I'm gonna apologize for, either.
no subject
Eh. That's nothin'. You gotta do what you gotta do.
[It's probably a big assumption to make, but he's lived that life. That particular combination of crimes isn't usually committed just for kicks.]
Besides, everything's legal when the cops aren't around, and I'm pretty sure that Krampus fella doesn't count. In a world with no laws we shouldn't even be locked up at all - no matter how impressively long and creative my list of crimes is.
no subject
[ Okay, maybe she's getting a little fondness for this old guy--he gets it. Or seems to get it. Like that Natasha, he gets shit and understands there's reason behind crime sometimes.
But of course, for Selina, it doesn't always have a reason. She has fun with it, too. ]
A good point. And if anyone should really be locked up around here, it should probably be the ones who torture us with events in the first place. They're the ones committing the only real crimes here. [ Not that she's really been tortured by an event yet, but still. She hates sitting in jail cells, even if she's used to it. ] This is completely ridiculous. Shouldn't we just get coal in our stockings, or something? I've never even heard of this Krampus guy.
no subject
Neither have I! And I'm Jewish! I should be exempt from this weird Christmas dungeon shtick anyway!
[Not that he's practiced in decades, but it's the principle of the thing! He doesn't have to have Christmas spirit, and really he only has it when he wants to sell something. The holidays are his second biggest season at the Shack, after the summer tourists all go home.
He thinks about her wording though and grins.]
So uh, what was that about this place torturin' us with events? [They do have a bet going, after all. Calling the events torture sure sounds a lot like hating Wonderland.]
no subject
[ She's quick to backpedal, but she's also quick to do it without panicking. Yes, what she said definitely sounded like it worked toward his side of the bet, but he's definitely not winning. Especially not now. ]
It was a figure of speech. You know, an example of what someone else said about the events--I never said a damn thing about hating this place. [ She smirks. ] Good try, but the bet's not about wording.
[ It's about her genuinely hating this place. Which she still doesn't. She can handle Christmas jail for free food and shelter. Things could be a lot worse right now, thanks. ]
no subject
Eh. It was worth a shot. Besides, I don't need to win the bet on a technicality. With this place throwin' people in the slammer left and right you'll crack sooner or later. If this don't do it, then somethin' else will.
[He's still certain of that, but only because being tossed in jail isn't exactly the worst thing Wonderland's ever done to him, or to anyone he cares about. Of course it's not going to be this. This is just jail, and it's not even scary jail.]
Still like this place then? It's not gettin' under your skin yet? Having a grand old time in this joint?
no subject
[ She's sure things get worse than this--this isn't even anything really worth complaining much about. She's been tossed in jail before, it was bound to happen again, even here. No doubt some events are worse than this, but so far? She's not scared, and she still thinks it'll be worth it in the end. ]
Still like it, I'm afraid. Aside from this, nothing really bad has happened to get under my skin. So yeah, if this is what Wonderland is going to throw at me, I'll gladly take it in exchange for a roof over my head, free food, and freakin' magic.
[ Nothing's going to change her mind, she's sure of it. ]
no subject
...You don't usually have a roof over your head then, huh.
[There no judgement from him. He's been there, after all.]
no subject
She's used to judgement for her lifestyle. And even if she doesn't sense any coming from him, the question still manages to throw her a little. ]
I don't really hide it that well, do I?
[ She plays it off with a grin. She's not ashamed, not really, but she hates when people take issue with her just because she's homeless. Not like it's her fault, anyway. ]
No, I don't. So you can imagine how nice this place is to me.
no subject
I like to think I'm pretty good at spottin' it, myself.
[Other people might take her openness as just being grateful things aren't worse, or counting her blessings or something, but Stan knows better. He's rationalized far worse situations in similar ways. At least he has a car to sleep in. At least it's not fifty degrees below zero. At least he ate today. Things like that.]
But yeah, yeah. I get it - prolly better than anyone else you're gonna meet here, actually. [Instead of dwelling on that tiny detail though, he "hmm"s thoughtfully and overdramatically to distract from it.] Guess this bet's gonna be more of a challenge than I thought...
no subject
Which she takes to mean that he's lived on the street before, too. The only way you get that is to have actually lived through it, she knows that for a fact. So yeah, consider her surprised that he's been there, and even more surprised that he's admitting it to her, in his own way.
Rather than focusing on it though, she goes along with his distraction, not particularly wanting to dwell on her side of things, either. A wicked little grin settles across her lips and she folds her arms smugly. ]
I told you. You're playing with fire here, old man, and you're gonna get burned. There's no way I'm losing this thing.
no subject
The difference is Stan has things to get back to now. He has a brother to save and hopefully make amends with, and if he just settles for Wonderland then everything he's worked for in the last thirty years goes down the drain. He's almost there. Plus, he's got Dipper and Mabel to think about. They've got a happy home to return to, so they can't just stay in Wonderland forever.]
No way, José. I stand by my bet - you can hate a place and still wanna stay there. Not wantin' to go home doesn't mean you won't get sick of all this.
[Besides, as if he'd ever back out of a bet with a kid. That would just be sad.]
no subject
[ She waves her hand in a big gesture to blow him off. He's so not going to win--she's not gonna hate this place, she's gonna want to stay here, and she's not gonna get sick of a damn thing. If anything, these event things add a little flavour to the place. It'd be boring if it was just some magic mansion that provided you with a room and food and everything. ]
I'm not gonna get sick of any of this. It adds some excitement to the whole thing, and everyone needs some excitement in their lives. I'd never get anything like this back home.
[ --Well, okay, she'd get the jail time back home, but she means the events and whatnot in general. She's one who can appreciate a unique experience. ]
no subject
Pretty sure I don't need any excitement if excitement means gettin' captured and swatted at by Christmas demons.
[She's right about one thing though - she's probably gonna win this bet. It was Stan's mistake for not giving her a long enough time frame to start hating the place. But oh well. He's not about to give up now. He's stuck with stupider bets for longer.]
If somebody's world really does have these things, they can keep 'em.
