Crawler Christmas
The guild turns an uncertain March date into Christmas to give crawlers and NPC children a night of food, music, presents, and defiance.
Story so far
Louis collects decorations from the memory simulation and has the changeling children transform the guild common room. Carl's improvised power supply runs an old music player and speaker, while the Penis Parade wraps Vietnamese candy as presents.
Donut fulfills her wish to topple a real tree, Mongo bounds through the crowd, Samantha chases the children in blinking lights, and the cleaner bot struggles under the mess. Carl initially objects because keyless teams are approaching catastrophe, but Louis argues that the danger is precisely why the celebration matters.
Carl declares the holiday incomplete without turkey and gives the bopca five uninfected birds to prepare. The party continues through the AI-control announcement, with music resuming immediately after Cascadia claims everything will proceed normally.
Appearance
A packed fantasy guild room with a toppled tree, colored lights, wrapped candy, drinks, children, crawlers, dinosaurs, and a cat.
Role
The party lets the community assert ordinary joy immediately before a deliberately engineered slaughter phase.
