"Wake up! Wake up!" A voice rung out, the rapping on my Guest Room in Oletus Manor woke me up from my peaceful slumber. I slammed a pillow on my face, closed my eyes gently and prayed that Mike would leave me alone. I had no idea what time it was, but whatever time it was... It didn't matter, let me sleep damnit!

"[Name]! It's Christmas!" My door swung open with the smell of gasses filling the room. Had he used his bombs on my door knob?! I sat up with my eyes glaring into his bright ones. His freckled smile holding an incomparable shine that rivaled any star.

"There better be a new lock in one of my presents." I frowned, crawling my way from under my sheets. Mike let out a playful laugh before closing my busted door, allowing me the privacy to get presentable for the day.

As I styled my hair the way I liked it, I couldn't help but throw in a Christmas accessory, just to make things for festive. With a smile, I got into my outfit of the day.

As I shoved my (now broken) door open, I noticed the change in the Manor's hallways. Tinsel lined the trimming of the walls intertwined with beautiful Christmas lights that twinkled with a small golden glow. I have a light gasp. Had the manor magically done this overnight? Or did someone really manage to decorate such a large mansion in one night?

"You know." Mike's voice pulled my attention from the lights onto him. He must've waited for me outside. He was leaning on a wall, with a reindeer antler headband that was somehow mixed into his curly hair and a festive Christmas attire to match. "They say Saint Nicholas goes around the world in one night. Do ya think whoever did this.. Wonderful Christmas decorations did this in one night too?" He winked playfully.

I rolled my eyes at his cheek and followed the manor hallway down, as I entered near the main courtroom.. There was so much going on..!

Emma, Tracy and Lily were all seen dangling off poor Leo who was struggling to raise the three playful girls off him. He was dressed as Santa, so of course they were more than happy to ask Leo what kind of presents he bought.

But the smile on Emma's face.

It lit up the whole room.

Naib and Ganji were about to St.- Start fighting? They had their hands up and all... Norton was currently holding bets with his hand up.

"We've got two on Subedar." I noticed William and Aesop perk up slightly. Naib shot a look towards Eli who gave a sheepish smile, gambling against his friend. How funny.

Melly, Alice, Orpheus and unsurprisingly Helena were all feverishly discussing some type of book that I noticed. They all spoke much quieter than the guys, so it was more difficult to pick up on the conversation but the cover read "The Little Match Girl."

Mike besides me ran towards a fellow group of blondes. Anne seemed hard at work along side an identically hard working Victor, they were feverishly wrapping presents for other survivors and a few for the hunters. A few toys made by Anne, telling from the beautiful paintwork on the wood and Victor would obviously deliver them... And Edgar who was doing a sketch besides them. All three of them kneeling on the ground to which Mike practically knocked those bowling pins go the ground.

I could always go find some other survivors.. Or find the Hunters instead.

Jose, Fiona, and Hastur - Water-Stained Letters and a Potential Connection?

The water stains on the last letter in the Christmas event reminds me of Fiona's and Jose's 4th letters, both which are stained or drenched by water.

The parallels makes me wonder if it could mean something… the detail about a wet letter mentioned more than once is curious…

Both Jose and Fiona are also said to be "gifts" from a "friend" of the manor owner that he treasured to include in his experiment, and thus important compared to most other participants.

Both Jose and Fiona have games at Lakeside, which is associated with Hastur, who is in this event, during which he says "I shall be waiting for all of the at the very end". Maybe this could parallel or have a hint about the end of their games or the end of all the manor games.

Especially considering those in Fiona's games disappear, leaving only a puddle of water behind. Is it possible the same could've at least happened to Jose (if not potentially to some of the others in his game if they weren't already dealt with)?

Both Jose's and Fiona's games have some supernatural/unusual factors (Jose's game has at least Wu Chang, the unusual effects caused by the umbrella, and Jose being a "psychic medium" for Wu Chang. Fiona herself and Hastur at the very least count. Maybe Yidhra if she's actually involved in their game��� Luchino could somewhat count considering his changes after the bite, as well as Eli in the 2nd game 6 after Fiona. Then there's how him and those in Fiona's game mysteriously vanish).

I'm not quite sure yet if this is important, but considering this has been mentioned more than once, I do wonder if our attention is being drawn to this on purpose somehow, and therefore if some connection exists we should know about…

Hmm… Jose and Fiona being “gifts” from a “friend” of the owner, who treasures using those 2, an event with Jose as a “star seeker”, and a letter waiting for the right time that mentions a “constellation” arriving... idk could it refer to Fiona and Jose but later on…?

Also, the mention about Victor's "conviction will lead you to the final answer, but not right now" and it "waiting for the right time to be opened"... could it relate to Victor going back into the fire for whatever "notes" he didnt want "falling into the wrong hands"?

request; kind of from a friend? well, merry early christmas, guys! i probably won't be around when it actually comes, so.

wc; 326.

tags; gn! reader, default! ithaqua, could be romantic or platonic (your choice & ambiguous), christmas🎄✨, soft, kind of fluff with maybe a small hint of angst, based off of a certain twisted wonderland quote.

summary; having known ithaqua for a while now, you decide to ask what he wants for christmas this year... what will he say?

“what do you want for christmas?” you sit on the wooden chair, taking small bites from a cake you had brought from the foothill town. “it’s almost that time.”

ithaqua at first insists it’s ‘nothing’, a front you can't help but chuckle at. “must i always read your feelings?” you tease, “you can’t keep them hidden away forever. nor am i psychic, for better or worse.”

“ah, fine, you just want me to come up with something?” ithaqua thinks to himself, his finger on his chin. you could practically see the gears turning in his head.

“well, you think about it. i’m going to wash the dishes. it's the least i can do for coming over somewhat uninvited.”

ithaqua smiled wryly. “...for better or worse, i'm used to it.”

some time later...

“i do have one christmas wish, i suppose.”

“took you long enough. so? what is it you wish for?”

“for you...” ithaqua averts his eyes. for a moment, you think you can see his cheeks flush a bit - was it the lighting of the fireplace crackling beside you two? “...to smile more this year. i guess.”

you widen your eyes; you weren’t sure what answer you were expecting, but that was not one of them. to top it off, you can feel something wrap around you.

ithaqua is hugging you from behind. an unexpected gesture, considering his general aversion to physical touch, but maybe if he initiated it it was within his comfort?

his hug is a little awkward, like he hadn't hugged since a time forgotten, but his arms are nonetheless warm.

“you’re not afraid of me, and i still haven’t figured out why. you’re a complete mystery that i can’t solve. yet, despite all that... i find i’m slowly becoming more afraid.”

“afraid?”

“afraid of losing you,” he whispers, his arms tightening slightly around you, “i don’t know why - and i don’t think i will know for the rest of my life.”

Noting what the others were doing to visit later, I had to get involved with this fight. Why were they anyways?

"Yo!" I called out, catching the attention of Aesop who gave a quiet wave and William who gave a large shark-ly grin.

"[Name]! Come over here, Christmas Crunch is on!" He bellowed out, making the embalmer flinch from the sudden loudness and I acted oblivious to him inching away from the larger figure next to him.

"Christmas Crunch?" I echoed, crossing my arms as I watched Ganji and Naib stretch like fools. Eli responded with a giggle as I felt a familiar weight nestle on my head, cooing with warmth.

"Every year, Ganji and Naib decide to battle every year for Christmas. Whoever wins gets our money and that's our Christmas presents done for them." He explained, reaching his arm out for Brooke Rose to fly down, to which I felt the coddling owl leave my head and land comfortably on his arm.

"That's.. Weird."

"That's what I said.." Aesop muttered, barely audible over Norton's noise of counting. Of course, he cut himself a share as well. "And then Emily is left to tend to their fleshly wounds.."

I smirked. "Who did you guys vote for?"

"Naib got beat last year, so I'm going with Ganji." Eli admitted with the same sheepish smile that earnt him a glare.

"Yeah! Because I was drunk." Naib snapped back, cracking his joints in an attempt to loosen up. "Why do you think I'm doing it now before I can get my hands on that eggnog?" Ganji's confident laugh shifted Naib's attention.

"You'll never give that excuse up, bhai? Maybe you're just getting sloppy."

That ticked off the fighting spirit in the mercenary as he threw his fists up in a flash, a sneer behind his hands. "Sloppy? I'll give you sloppy in a fuckin' second!"

"Ayo.." Norton smirked a bit, before flipping through the clues in order to count them up as well.

"Okay, [Name]... You throwing in?" The prospector's dry lips pressed together as he held his hand out.

"Depends. What's the entry fee?" I knew Norton would probably ask for more than required, so I looked over my shoulder to the other crowd.

"It's 100 clues! And if you win, you'll get double back!" William made poor Aesop jump again, officially earning a glare from the silver haired man.

Norton looked expectantly towards me. His eyebrow raising with his hand still towards my direction.

Updated: Bobolinks, Star Seeker, and other info about Jose from the Christmas event

longest migratory path of any songbird

good navigators: use landmarks, stars, and the Earth's magnetic field

internal compass: magnetite in their heads aligns with magnetic north like a compass needle

*** Wu Chang (umbrella) creates/affects magnetic fields

tested ability to sense magnetic fields by messing up their sense of direction via a strong magnetic pulse that reversed the polarity of the magnetite in them. Before treatment, the birds went southeast, their normal migratory direction. After treatment, they went north.

after novocain, they went southeast again, showing the birds sense magnetic fields via more than just the magnetite in their bodies. Other way is their vision.

The birds react to different wavelengths of light. When exposed to only red light, they became disoriented. In green, blue, or white light, their sense of direction remains intact.

The theory is that light-sensitive pigments in the birds' eyes serve as magnetic sensors. When green, blue or white light strikes these pigments, their electrons become energized, and the pigment molecules behave like weak magnets. The visual information is then relayed from the bird's eyes to its brain. When deprived of those wavelengths, the bird loses its sense of direction.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jose mentions navigation via landmarks and stargazing (like bobolinks). Currently, he can’t use his stargazing device due to snow and clouds (parallels the experiments done to the bobolinks).

Twice now this came up. So it’s important to Jose, and not just a skin/essence thing.

Me looking for other parallels/possible info about Jose:

likely lives alone (at least after his father went missing maybe?)

keeps to themselves around others (unless has to or to keep things from becoming uncomfortable? Maybe especially again after his father vanished)

blizzards causing people to lose their bearings, at which point it is pure luck to find shelter. Replace blizzard with storm and I think that should parallel Jose’s deduction 3 and 4. And the mention of luck here makes me think they did indeed find some “shelter” despite being “caught” in a storm. After which I think is when the dad and crew lost or threw away their “consciousness” and did whatever bad thing gave Jose his trauma.

the talk about wishes makes me think of Jose’s wish bottle accessory. As well as wonder if he stopped believing in wishes, except whatever he could do himself to achieve whatever it was he wanted. Hmm...
