DE: Pa rum pum pum pum

[bjornwilde]

 A newborn savior/prophet/avatar/whatever has come and all who are near are bringing gifts. Alas, your character has nothing material to give. In the spirit of The Little Drummer Boy, what non-material gift do they offer?

Sunshine - practical big sister that she is - would offer to watch over the child, keep it comfortable, warm, clean, and fed, so the parents could get some much-needed sleep...

Jess would tell it stories of Carol's adventures. Or stories about the Avengers if she's still grumpy at her BFF.

Quin would juggle and if that didn't work, use the Force to expand the juggling. (And now with canon being what it is, I'm imagining a baby Anakin and Shmi with Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon, and Yoda as the wise men.)

Andrea would help to guard the baby. She could sing it a lullaby but it wouldn't be her first thought.

Tybalt would offer his protection.

Tyler would offer to sit on rodent watch with Winston. Or hunt with the wee monster to bring in a little extra meat and nutrition to the mother.

Unrelated, but may I squee at you in regards to the latest storyline in PS238? It is making me miss Julie something fierce.

[crazyfurries]

You may because really, she is the shining example of why good manners can totally be a super-power!

[bjornwilde]

I swear, just like Tyler's super power is that no one sees or believes he is Moon Shadow, people overlook her even after she proves she is useful or effective. :)

And yes, I agree, politeness is her true power.

Amascut brings DEATH a promise to teach this savior how to kill everything. Eventually. In the guise of self-protection if need be. Because saviors are still useful things to her and often have to crack eggs in order to make omelettes. The annoying ones are the ones that refuse to do so.

Fairy Fixit on short notice could do some trick flying, mostly popping in and out of the familiar 3 spatial dimensions. Otherwise she can fix things.

Shephard will sit on the roof and silently murder anyone or anything that attempts to wake the baby up.

[bjornwilde]

Andrea and I are loving the image of that nativity scene. = D

[hecu_marine]

The way Shephard sees it, messiahs get angels hanging around them, right? And angels are scary fuckers, because every angel who shows up in the Bible who isn't actively in disguise starts his conversation with "Be not afraid", right? So he's just offering to give one of the guardian angels some time off. Why else would an angel be hovering over the place where a baby was born unless it was to scare the noisier visitors off?

... Shephard has never been noted for his grasp on theology.

D'awwwwww.

(an entire choir of hosanna-ing angels suddenly goes *gleep* and shuts up)

[leeshajoy]

On that note...

[i_am_your_host]

For someone who just isn't in the habit of giving material gifts to begin with, the Master of Ceremonies would sing something, namely an old German lullaby called Schlaf, Kindlein, Schlaf.

Steve offers his protection, his strength, and his heart.

Enzo would stand guard and fight off any evil cultists, infanticidal soldiers, or other unpleasant types who might have it in for a newly spawned religious figure.

Zecora would advise the dam and sire
on any formula or supplements their foal might require.
