[ The image is that of young man with longish white hair that's been pulled back in a low ponytail. Seventeen or eighteen maybe, with a bright red mark on his face that looks somewhere between a scar and a tattoo as much as it stems from a mark that's also halfway between a star or an inverted pentagram. Garishly out of place on an otherwise pale and muted complexion and gentle face. ]

With a lot of the city shut down because of the snow, if there's anyone having trouble finding food or shelter, Sanctuary in Crenshaw will be helping whoever it can. It might not be much, but it can be a meal or warm bed for the night. [ And hope everyone likes fish, because there's a lot of that that's been salted and stockpiled. But also a lot of baked things served with some of the corruption-cleansing jams from earlier in the year.

Which, anyone who already volunteers there... you can bet you were already cheerfully accosted and asked to help, soup kitchen style. ♥ It's a team effort. ✧ Either that or clearing snow; it's a big place... albeit warm itself this month, and shining like a jewel from the lunar lighting and heating within. The renovated Moon Presence monastery seems to be taking the blindingly bright bone moon and reflecting it back in a gentler manner for anyone inside. ]

There isn't a cost. Just try to help out however you can when you're able.

[ He pauses, about to leave it at that but hesitating. Expression still neutrally polite and composed, but... flickering for a moment. ]

...if anyone would like to help closer to when Christmas would normally be, it'd be nice to do something special for the orphanage as well. Maybe donate some presents for them. 

[ That's it. He'll just quietly leave it at that. ]

[imagine how terrible the dancing santa he could make would be. or what one found in the trench would be like. it's a real and terrible threat.]

Yes, Jason's mentioned the tree, a fireplace, baked goods- things of that nature. Family and giving, a bit saccharine but I suppose holidays lean towards such matters. [matters probably good to practice in corruption ridden the trench, even if he's himself and finds it a little much.

allen's interest makes him chuckle despite himself.] In a way. I've made enough it wouldn't be difficult to do, and I enjoy the side project of such machines. I simply have no interest in running such an establishment. [a pause] I suppose if I could find someone willing to do so, if you have any suggestions.

[ Trench Santa, a toy version or not, is an utterly terrifying concept to Allen. It's why Maul's post, while he has to take it with a grain of salt, has him very cautious to the real possibility of the horror. ]

I seem to recall someone talking about how important such things were when it came to having summer fireworks for everyone. [ Definitely fond teasing, and he gives a thoughtful hum at the proposal. ]

I don't, but I'll keep that in mind. It'd be nice for people to have a place like that again. [ Everyone had seemed to have a lot of fun at miss Uraraka's birthday party, after all. Although... Allen could do without it being a bar as well this time. Never really liked those. ]

[according to the event this is now such a real problem of potential evil, gremlin santas so. that's good.]

I hate it when you remember things I say and use them against me. [viktor sighs in the most put out way he possibly can.] Should we just accept we're going to have a holiday party at Sanctuary then? I'll make the tree.

[the cool metal tree that won't be A Lot.

and this is when viktor knows he's going to follow through with finding a way to help make an arcade. the problem with unintentionally adopting very earnest shounen manga boys.] I suppose I could make a post asking one of these days.

[ Sometimes Allen hates it when he's right...

But oh! ] You can make a tree?

[ Of course he can, Viktor can make anything. But it still has Allen leaning in with the quiet intrigue of a kid at, well... Christmas.

And you blame the shounens but really, are they actually making you? Allen has a sneaky suspicion that you just like having the excuse in the name of indulging them. ]

Of course. Just a little metal working and wiring for lights. Eh, probably on the abstract side but Jason tells me they make plastic trees anyway. [and he genuinely doesn't trust the trench not to make cutting down a tree to bring a whole tree monster thing or something like that.

which reminds him- the tree making, not the monster tree. no monster trees.] I can make some more lights too for general decorations, if necessary. Jason made a good point that the orphans would probably enjoy making ornaments for the tree, they did love the origami at the festival. I think Palamedes spent a great deal of time there with his volley ball team.
