[Phone calls locked to aristocracy!]

[Welcome to the 1950's. Mr. Panda is a successful banker and father known around town as a jovial and, unfortunately, clueless man. His biggest successes are Bearbank, his little princess Pilouette, his very dear daughter Toph...and, eh, there might be a third child in the middle there somewhere. Maybe.

Now that he's made his wealth, he spends a lot of his time gossiping! So if you're in the aristocracy and/or on good terms with Panda, you might get one of the following phone calls.]

[Night One]

Hello, hello...! Do you ever want to pick up a really awesome talent, even if it means you have to risk your life to learn it? Is there anyone in town like that?

[Night Two]

Hello, hello...! Don't mind me, just go ahead and start talking! Ah! But first, don't you get a really good feeling when you say "Mr. Panda" out loud? It's great, isn't it?

[Night Three]

Hello, hello...how do you think I should get beautiful women to fall in love with me without even trying? With Pillo and Toph and the other at the dance, I realize it's very quiet around here...

[Option 4]

[On night one, two, or three, Panda is still going to call your character...but what he talks about will be a total surprise! Are you brave enough to take that call?]

( OOC notes )

[Someone has given Panda an idea. Christmas, admittedly, isn’t a big holiday for him. There are presents and sweet foods and he’s sure to exploit that every year, but he hadn’t even realized it was December in Luceti until Pilouette told him everything.

He’s blushing through his fur as he turns on his journal, ready to address his city.]

Secret Santa...! [That explains everything, right? He repeats it again.] We're having a Secret Santa for Christmas! Pilouette told me about it, and now we're going to do one. Isn't that going to be fun?

[Normally, he'd end the message there...but this is a plan that involves presents, so he starts explaining further.]

I put up a cute panda box in the lobby of building four. If you come and write your name on the cute panda paper provided and put it in the box, someone will give you a gift at my very first Panda Christmas Party! Doesn't that sound like a lot of fun? I'll even give all of you a week to sign up before telling you who have to give a gift to!

[Ahh, he can't believe it. It will be amazing. Bamboo decorations, panda-shaped cakes and cookies, cute Santa hats to make certain pandas even cuter...! And presents!]

The party is going to be on the 18th. That sounds good, right? That's a week before Christmas, so it's a perfect time for Panda Christmas. Pilouette and Shinji will be helping me, too. [Not that he's asked them yet...but it's such a good idea, how could they say no?] So, please sign up today! That's all there is to it! If anyone has questions, try not to make them too bothersome.

[ooc; This is backdated to the afternoon of the 4th. This is the IC announcement for the IC Secret Santa. You don't have to reply to be included! This is just so people can hear about it, etc.]

Hey, hey, Lessetti! I've got another question for you.

[Once again, the Panda who should probably not have a journal has decided to use it. He only uses it when he's bored...which is pretty often lately. It's great how he can listen and see what other people are saying. It's like the journal is reality television!

But today he needs it for himself.]

Why do you all go to work? You're not getting paid, right? Isn't it a waste of time? What happens if you don't show up for work...? Do you get kidnapped?

I've been so bored lately...there really isn't anything to do, so I was thinking I might get a job, too. Is there a job where I can laze around and do nothing? Or eat bamboo? And working two days a week is probably enough, don't you think?

Ah! And before I forget, Flynn Shi-Foh had a great idea! He told me to tell you what to do if someone tries to attack you with a vacuum, like that really mean girl Pilouette. If that ever happens, you should panic! Wait until they're done, and then you should run away.

Any questions?

[There will be lots of questions, right? After making such an exhausting post (he worked so hard, right?), Panda is going to reward himself by looking for cute things in the item store. He'll also go to the grocery store to pick up his bamboo for the day...

...but something is different. The walk over was so cold and windy. Being inside is so much warmer. If anyone approaches Panda, he won't notice at all...in fact, he's standing, but not moving. Whatever could be wrong?]

Yaaaaay! I found it! [This is Panda’s first time using his journal on his own. It’s so cool!] It’s just like a smartphone...eheh. Everyone can see this, right? I finally found my panda notebook! Anyways, I don't really know any of you that well...it's been so hot that I've been eating bamboo in my room all day.

[And that’s how this trainwreck starts. Panda is filming himself holding a notebook he picked up that’s shaped...like a panda. There are clearly things written inside, and he seems to be eager to share what he wrote down.]

Let’s see...where should I start...Did you know Wolverine really likes kids? I’ve never met a wolverine before... [Oh. Oh no. Panda wrote down what the trees told him.] Shinji has the hots for his roommate...I think I’ve met him before! Ehh...he’s kind of scrawny though. [Flip. Flip.] Masaomi doesn’t like boobs at all, but he really likes legs! Isn’t that really strange? And this Yun girl knows everyone’s secrets...Ahaha! That sounds like a fun superpower!

[And then, the Panda shuts his notebook. He must be out of them...but then he reaches for a second notebook. Apparently, he didn’t do a very good job of organizing them. He’s still got dirt to spread.]

Shikamaru likes to sing in the shower with his roommate. Eh...but is that a cute girl...? There’s someone named Gold, too, and he’s never even been kissed...that’s really sad, isn’t it? [He flips to another page. He’s got plenty of random things written down.] They also told me that Adell hates women, especially harpies. Ehh...it seems like everyone doesn’t like them, huh. I also heard that Yotsuba is missing a few crayons from her box! Isn’t that just awful? And Pilouette-chan is a gang leader! Uwaaaah! That’s so scary, isn’t it? She’s the meanest!

[And then he shuts his notepad. He’s done for real this time.] Ehh...I don’t know most of those people, though. These panda notebooks are just super cute, aren’t they? Just like me. [He laughs, moving his notebook so everyone can see.] I had almost forgotten about all of these facts, too...! Hey, does anyone else have any embarrassing secrets they’d like to share? I can write them down for you!

[ooc; And this is Rune, off of hiatus! o7 It's good to be back.]
