You got snowed in with the different alternates! Here's what they want to do for the day!
OG
He just wants to paint and create art with you. It's a day full of creative progress. You ever teach each other new techniques!
Opposite
Not fond of the situation and avoids you at first. Gets bored quickly though and seeks your company anyway. You end up chatting about literature and read together.
RF
Oh boi! You can't leave? Time for overtime baby! :D He's catching up with you on all the experiments you two didn't have time for previously. And the paperwork of course.
Gray
He's super anxious about the whole situation. He doesn't want to bother you too much and is very quiet. You ask him if he's okay and he admits he's worried about being snowed in. Will it go away soon? How long will you be stuck? Do you have enough food to last? You reassure him everything was going to be fine. You two spend the day with cuddles and naps to pass the time.
Actor
Charms you into helping him rehearse for the next day of filming, pick outfits for photoshoots and create content for his social media. He somehow manages to keep you busy the entire day.
Reboot
Video games all day! Prepare for hourlong tournaments in Mario Kart or Wii Sports! He'll definitely make you play a horror game once it gets dark.
Hunter
Decides to teach you some self defense. He's a pretty good trainer. Also teaches you about the multiverse so you can help him in case of an emergency.
Priest
Somehow ropes you into participating in his religious practices. Nothing too shady, just a couple readings, prayers and a "cleansing" of his home. Makes it up to you in the afternoon by making you cookies and tea.
Mob
Keeps trying to convince (read: force) you to join his family. Goes on and on about how he could provide you with a much better and luxurious life. Since you're in his HQ you end up fleeing to the bar on the ground floor and mingle with the other family members instead. Mob luckily mistakes that as a positive development in his favor and leaves you alone.
Royal
Practices some magic with you. He performs a spell that temporarily transfers a fraction of his powers to you, so you get to play around with magic for the day. In the evening you were capale of performing basic spells like "Fireball".
(Yes, Fireball is a refrence. XD)
Butcher
Is surprisingly nice to you. Offers to cook you a nice meal. With pork, poultry or beef! He swears on the love of his dead mother it's normal meat! He's just glad he has some company and a potential friend for once. He'd do almost anything you ask of him in order to make you like him.
Lovesick
Practically glued to your side. Follows you around like a puppy, adoring you shamelessly. He keeps rambling on and on about various topics, while you move around the house, trying to clean up a bit. It's a yapper & listener kind of deal. Eventually you're done with chores and it's time for mandatory cuddles. He tries to sneak a few kisses from you like usual. His yapping turns to complimenting you.
Jazzy
Time for your much needed exercise, baby! Or should I say... Jazzercise? >:3 Heh, bro tries his best to coax you into exercising with him offering the occasional break with healthy snacks and drinks.
Swan
It's winter and his wings are still molting. He asks if you could help him preen them, since they're sooo itchy and he can't see the ones on his head properly. You agree to help, which takes the majority of the day.
Killer
You seize the opportunity to trap him on a chair, so you can fix some new tears in his felt. After that you reward him for his compliance with an apple and a careful hug.
You're trying to knit for the first time! It's a little frustrating and your scarf doesn't really look like a scarf right now. Here's what the others do to help you!
OG
He doesn't know how to knit. Nevertheless he supports you with words of affirmation and cuddles. He's content with watching you try.
Opposite
Watches you sceptically with crossed arms. He seems to know everything better, as he corrects your mistakes verbally.
RF
Wanted to sit with you for emotional support. But he got distracted by the yarn and inspected it instead, whichended up distracting you more than anything.
Gray
Sits beside you and watches quietly.
Actor
Wants to support you trying a new skill. So he searches for life hacks and tutorials for you.
Lovesick
Interested in your new hobby. Tries to learn knitting together with you. It's really fun with him!
Priest
Surprisingly knows how to knit quite well. Teaches you a little and helps you figure things out.
Royal
Thinks it's really neat that you're learning something new. Brings you a cup of tea to sweeten the tedious learning process.
Jazzy
Has his own knitting project to work on. He sits down beside you and knits as well while entertaining you with a little smalltalk.
Vampire
Interested in your craft. He asks you lots of questions about it, distracting you from your frustration.
Reboot
Sneaks in without you noticing, since you're too focused on fixing the last mistake you made. Before you can react, he snips of your yarn with scissors and steals it. While he laughs hysterically you chase him, foaming at the mouth with anger.
Butcher
Only mildly interested. He'd rather you do something else with him. He keeps absent mindedly poking your ball of yarn.
Mob
Quietly stands next to you and watches you struggle for a bit. Then he slides you a 20 dollar bill and requests that you make him a scarf as well.
Killer
Also sits down next to you. While watching you, he falls asleep and ends up leaning / slumping against your shoulder.
Hunter
Doesn't know anything about knitting. To be fair, he doesn't care much either. But he wants to be in your company! So he slumps down on the sofa beside you and turns on the telly.
The greatest part of Christmas has never been the presents or the food, no. It was being with your loved ones and seeing the joy and light in their eyes. To know you have spent valuable time with them and created lasting memories.
More memories were about to be made, as everyone gathered around the tree after a great dinner, to exchange gifts. You and the Wallies had agreed to play Secret Santa this year, to ensure that everyone got at least one present.
RF was first to recieve his gift. It was from Hunter, who gave it to him with a shit-eating grin. Oh boi-
RF raised a suspicious eyebrow, but didn't say anything. He quietly opened his present and made a noise, that was half snort and half groan. Then he revealed a pair of cat ears, that could be clipped into his hair. They were fittingly blue, too...
The room erupted into quiet giggles.
"Really, Hunter?", RF asked, a teensy bit annoyed.
Hunter just shrugged. "Couldn't help myself there, dude-"
(Luckily you also had a present for him: A brand new coffee mug, with a pretty rainbow glaze and a bag of his favorite coffee.)
Next was Hunter, who recieved his gift from Mob.
It was... A gun.
Mob gifted him a gun.
"Every good hunter needs a good gun~" Mob slyly remarked upon the surprised silence in the room.
Hunter just smiled awkwardly and quickly stored the weapon away safely.
Mob got a gift from Original. A cute drawing of Mob and him next to a Christmas tree, surrounded by presents.
"I hope you like it...", OG said shyly, which caused Mob to ruffle his hair.
"Don't worry, I like it. It's adorable. Let's put it on the fridge later, hm?"
Opposite was the one responsible for OG's gift. Surprisingly, he actually smiled, when he gave OG a box. Your confusion was quickly lifted however, when you figured out the box was empty, as OG peeked inside it. Poor little dood was confused as all heck, but he remained polite anway.
"Oh, a new storage box for art supplies! Thank you, Opposite.", he said with a genuine smile.
(Thankfully you had actual art supplies for him to store in the empty box. A present he found much easier to appreciate.)
Opposite got his gift from Reboot. It was a book titled "How To Smile :)"
Opposite imediately threw the book at Reboot, who caught it with ease. To tease his grumpy buddy, he opened the book and started to read the first chapter to him aloud.
It took some gentle nudging from Jazzie to stop Reboot from reading and opening his own present: A new DS game! Reboot smiled happily and hugged Jazzie. Then he retrieved his DS from his room and got straight to gaming.
Now was Jazzie's turn to open his present. It was crudely wrapped in butcher's paper and someone wrote on it with sharpie.
"For: Jazzie From: Butch :P"
Jazzy forced a tight lipped smile and looked at the butcher, who was watching him with an excited grin.
"Butchy, what's in there?"
"Premium sausages! I promise it's pork!", Butcher exclaimed enthusiastically, no real malice in his voice.
Jazzie's smile tightened more, as he carefully set the gift aside, still unopened. "You do know I'm vegetarian, right?"
Butch's face dropped and turned sheepish. "Oh-"
(You jumped in to save the day and gave Jazzie some organically sourced, herabl teas to try. Which he really liked!)
Butcher recieved a gift from Royal, who gave it to him presonally, proud as ever. It was kinda big...
"This has been salvaged from the finest furs my hunters aquired this season.", Royal explained to Butcher.
Butcher then unrolled a mighty fine looking fur cloak. A clothing article, you yourself probably would have worn as well.
Aaaaand Butch mistook it for a blanket- Eh, close enough Butch. At least he'll use it to keep warm either way-
Royal's gift came in the shape of a small envelope. It contained a small Christmas card made by Gray. Gray seemed to be a little ashamed about it.
"I'm sorry it's all grey, Royal...", he mumbled meekly.
"Nonsense, young one!" Royal quickly butted in, crouching down and pulling him closer in a gentle maner. "Never be sorry for pouring time, effort and love into a gift for another, no matter the shape or color it has."
While he continued to give Gray a heartwarming peptalk, Lovesick shuffled over to them to give Gray his gift. It was scarf Lovesick actually knitted himself, while he learned it together with you!
He put it around Gray and gave him a short hug to help cheer him up.
Now it was Lovesick's turn to recieve his presents. And oh, he was the happiest, most lucky puppet alive, when it was revealed, that you were the one giving him his gift! The most fashionable of all beanies! Selfmade! He imedately put it on and didn't take it off for the rest of the evening.
You smiled fondly at his antics. Your smile didn't fade, when Killer approached you and gave you your own gift: A... Note?
Curiously you unfloded the small piece of paper. Only to discover...
It was death threat. Killer gifted you a death threat. How lovely...!
You chuckled nervously and distracted him with an apple, like you usually did. For extra safety, you'd later force RF to have a sleepover with you and keep you safe-
Aaanywhow! Priest was the one responsible for Killer's gift. Solemnly he gave it to Killer, with the reminder to take good care of it.
Killer only grimaced as he unpacked the Holy Book from Priest's religion.
Priest got a gift from Watcher. He must've been the chosen one to speedrun depression this year, cause all he got was socks-
(You gave him a bottle of wine, to which he replied: "Thank you, I'll cherish this.")
Watcher recieved a gift from Swan: Some new classical music to enjoy, while he chatted with his viewers. Watcher seemed to really like this present. Dang, you never knew he was a classical music type of guy-
Actor made a bit of a scene out of giving his present to Swan, potraying himself as overly generous and well-meaning. Turns out he gifted Swan a new pair of ballet shoes from some well known brand, that were kinda expensive.
Thankfully Swan was ecstatic to break them in and try them out.
The circle of gift giving closed itself, when RF finally stood up to give his gift to Actor. Actor thanked him curtly and opened the box. His eyes widened when he pulled out three pairs of cute bows out of the box. All the same kind of bow he wore every day. Except two of the three came in obnoxious neon colors and the third one was a sickly green-
Actor glared at RF, who apparently was immune against that and just shrugged.
"You said you wanted to become more experimental with your fashion choices next year, so I thought I help you out with these.", he calmly explained.
"That's not what I-! Ugh, nevermind! Thanks, I guess." Actor tried his hardest to keep his cool.
He'd find a creative solution for these bows, surely. As long as it doesn't involve putting them on himself.
Lastly, more gifts and cards were exchanged between those, who were closer friends, but didn't end up being each others secret santa.
Funnily enough, you've recieved a lot more presents that day.
Nevertheless, you reminded yourself, that it was never the presents, that were the greatest thing about Christmas, but the time and joy you shared with your loved ones.
🎄✨🎄✨🎄✨🎄✨🎄✨🎄
Aaaaand that was it folks! This was the last installment of our lovely Advent Series. I'm almost a little emotional, now that it's over. :,) Especially because this is the first event I actually managed to see through until the end and not stop after ten-ish days. Whoops!
I just wanted to say, that I had tons of fun writing all of this and appreciated every bit of love and support you guys have shown for this silly little series! To be honest, it was the greatest present of them all. ^^
Hopefully reading this has brought you just as much joy each day!
Thank you all for sticking around and I wish each and everyone of you a very merry holiday season and a lovely time with your friends and family. Make sure to appreciate the presence of the ones you love and create lovely memories with them. ;3
Again, thank you very much for reading and see y'all again soon!

The Wallys and you are dedicating a day to wear cringy/ ugly/ cool/ funny Christmas Sweaters! Here' s the sweaters they chose!
OG
He chose a classic style sweater. It's blue and yellow just like his cardigan! Plus: Little apples are incorporated into the patterns!
Opposite
Initially didn't want to participate. You threatened him with being dissappointed and he caved. He came in a red sweater that only had a frowning reindeer on it at the front.
RF
He was really cheeky this time. He wore his normal black turtleneck sweater and simply taped a hand mirror to the front. Due to his height, the others would see themselves in the mirror. He proudly named his creation the "Ugly or Pretty Sweater depending on who's looking at it".
Gray
His sweater is also a classic style one with fir trees and snowflakes on it. Needless to say, it's all grey- But super fasionable!
Royal
His sweater is red with golden-yellow stripes. There's the typical small Christmas-y patterns on the stripes and some hearts. On the chest is an amazing embroidery of his royal crest!

Butch
Butcher's sweater says: "Dw, Santa doesn't believe in you either." The writing is sourrounded by little embroidered presents that are tumbling downwards into flames. The sweater is red.
Killer
He didn't have one, so you gave him one of yours. It's also red and has a classic pattern with Christmas trees on it. It's way too big on him, which makes him look kinda cute.

It was one of your favorite times of the Christmas season: Tree decorating time! A few Wallies have joined you, also eager to set up the tree with you. Namely Royall, RF, Original and Gray.
Original was currently busy admiring the different ornaments for the tree, especially the red ones enchanted him. Probably because they looked a little bit like apples.
Gray curiously eyed the ornaments as well. But then he saw the box with the star for the top and his pupils widened excitedly. He sat down and pulled the box into his lap. Removing the lid, Gray took his time to admire the three different tree toppers you owned.
He brushed his fingertips across them very gently, following the swirls of colors on them.
You made a mental note to let him choose one and put it onto the tree.
Meanwhile, Royal had discovered your LED-candles, that were all wired together and could easily be clipped to the branches.
"What strange candles...", he mumbled, examining the decoration and tapping his chin, "They're not made of wax at all... And why are they all tied together?"
You chuckled and grabbed one end of the candle-chain. "You remember when I told you about electricity?"
"The little lightnings that run through the copper wires in most of your machines? Yes."
"Well, these candles need it too. And so that we don't have to supply each candle by itself, they're connected to one another." You explained, following the wiring between the individual candles with your pointer finger.
Royal's eyes lit up with understanding. "I see. But why not use real candles?"
"To reduce the fire hazard." You said simply. You then showed him how to clip the candles onto the branches and the both of you got busy applying all of them all around the tree.
Original had adorned the lower branches with the other ornaments in the meantime. To reach the higher branches, he needed help though.
He gently tugged on your sleeve, quietly asking for ups. With a soft smile you complied, picking the small puppet up and resting him on your hip.
Royal chuckled and held the boxes with ornaments for you two. Together, you decorated the rest of the tree. While doing so, you couldn't help but wonder what RF was doing. He'd been so quiet all the time.
That's when you discovered he had - much like a cat - started a hopeless fight with the tinsel. He was cowering on the carpet, covered in the rustling stuff all over. You snorted. Seems like he just wanted to open the packet and spread the tinsel across the branches of the tree, but ultimately got overpowered by his leftover cat instincts.
And now he was quietly cussing and fighting his battle with the tinsel without victory in sight.
Feeling mischievous, you shifted Original, holding him with one arm only. With your free hand you fished your phone out of your pocket and snapped a single picture of RF without him noticing. You'd send it to him later.
For now it was time to finish to tree.
Original wanted to be let down, so you set him back down and turn to Gray.
"Gray sweetie, do you want to put the star on top?", you asked him.
He nodded quickly. "Yes please! I already picked one!"
Gray held up the star he had chosen. You nodded approvingly and helped him climb onto your shoulders. You did your best to support him and help him reach the top of the tree.
With additional help of Royal he managed just fine.
