(The discussion thread is here
)
Welcome to HGS: Another Side Another Story. It is a roleplay spinoff for the Hunger Games Simulator forum game, akin to both the RP's in the Roleplaying section as well as the ITTs in Forum Games. It tells the story of the Hunger Games in the Arena of Panem, the nominators who sent the tributes, the tributes themselves both in and out of the Arena or even other people relevant to the Games. In addition, it also tells their stories beyond the Arena.
You can jump right in with any character, like your nominator self, your tributes, etc. The structure of this RP will be open-world. Don't worry about not being skilled/experienced enough or being new to RP'ing. Finally, ASAS accepts any skill level or RP style. Other than these, there are some important rules to note, which are:
- No godmodding will be allowed or tolerated here. The offending player will be given punishment depending on the severity.
- Please communicate anything important you plan on another player with the said player first. Don't just execute it without their consent.
- Don't be rude to other players, both out and in-universe. This extends to RP offenses like railroading, guilt-tripping, coercing, or other forms of forcing them.
- This RP is related to the Hunger Games Simulation:Beyond the Possibilities forum game. Thus it will have events based from that game, including the tributes. This means if you want to RP as tributes, please nominate them officially on the thread first, with misses not being counted. This has to be done after an incident with a player who hasn't joined the game itself yet.
- Since this RP is Loose Canon in relation to the main HGS thread, the host's interpretation of events isn't necessarily 100% canon. Every player has the right to deviate from what the host says and go with their own interpretations. If multiple players have their tributes involved in the same event(s), please communicate with each other so that you're on the same page regarding how you see them.
- This RP chronicles the lives of the nominators and their tributes behind the scenes. While dark plots are acceptable, the overall tone of the RP should be light-hearted and comedic. This RP is not a Cosmic Horror Story or action story about defeating evil. It is a Slice of Life comedy with some adventure to it, first and foremost. Our previous RP, Convergence, is not representative of the intended tone, and the grimdark tone of that RP is one of the main reasons it was retooled.
- Nominators and tributes alike can transform into Pokemon whenever they enter a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon World (but they can bypass this with certain items/methods or shapeshifting) or via other means outside it such as a season event, Transformation Trinkets, or shapeshifting. The players are free to choose the Pokéforms that best suit their characters and even give them color schemes outside the standard and Shiny colors, but there is a hard rule for this. If you want your character's Pokéform to be a Legendary, Mythical, or Ultra Beast, please ask the RP mods for approval. Outside the Arena, these Pokéforms are still OP, but we want to give leeway for tributes who theoretically can have them such as deities.
- Other rules are covered in the RP guides: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13414403220A81433600&page=1#comment-1

Here's my opening RP post:
Detective Gamechanger's Base
A sharp-dressed man in a green suit and yellow tie is standing by the entrance of the base. He is of average height and has whitish skin, though still a bit darker. He is Billy, one of the nominators and the organizer of the party.
Indeed, after the nominators' returned and settled their problems, they decide to have fun with a party. Billy also sent invites for all the other nominators out there, as well as basically anyone else, including tributes, non associated parties, interested nominators who haven't participate yet, or even those who just wants to hang out.
The place itself in the base is refurbished for party purposes. Fancy chairs and tables are set everywhere for people to relax, as well as put food and other objects for the latter. There's also various collections showcased, including those belonging to the Detective, like his classic cars. Various themes to the base are set too, including detective noir as GC would have preferred.
Billy is now awaiting for other guests to arrive. He is also ready to give them a pleasant surprise during the party pertaining to his nation.

A Search for the Perfect Gift
Bale came back from the other universe and panicked as he saw that the 25th of December drew nearer and nearer each day, it was time for action.
Bale: Alright, no more games, we've got to obtain those Christmas gifts!
MD: Let's go on an epic quest no one will ever see but us!
The two then boarded a spaceship and went searching for the things Bale though would be fitting and nice gifts for his friends.
"Bingo! If two species hate each other, they will wipe each other out on their own."

Rainbow Falls
Power looks around the stalls for gifts. Some are selling sculptures, others commissioned paintings, but one in particular catches her eye.
"STARBLE PLUSHIES?!"
She gallops towards the stall. On display are fluffy furballs of all the colors of the rainbow, some of them even patterned. Power levitates one and presses it against her cheek. Just like the real deal, it's silky smooth to the touch.
"That'll be 20 bits," says the stall owner. Her meek voice sounds familiar to Power.
"Fluttershy?!" Power puts the plush back. "You're making plushies now?"
"Yes... I was inspired by 6k1's own Starble..." The yellow pegasus smiles. "Mimi's just so cute I wanted to keep her, but I know she has to return to her owner. Besides, she was quite a hoofful both times she was with me. I had to use the Stare on her a few times!"
"Yeah... But I know 6k1 can trust you with petsitting her."
Power takes another look at the merch.
"Anyway, these plushies are so adorable! How did you do it?"
"Simple, I used my crazy knowledge in sewing to make them. I don't know how big they grow, so all of them are Mimi-sized."
Power tells her that adult Starbles are basically living pillows.
"Awww, Power... now I really want one!" Fluttershy presses her hooves against her cheeks and squees.
"Also, do you think anycreature would be interested in buying one of these?"
"I hope so... Starbles can be a challenge to take care of for first-time owners, so plushies are a good alternative. Even those with allergies can have an adorable furball to love!"
"Aww..."
Power picks up the same plush that she chose a while ago. It has green fur and silver paws.
"I'll be buying this one," she says. "It'll be my Hearth's Warming gift for my best friend!"
She pays Fluttershy and has it wrapped. Power was about to thank her when 6k1 rushes to her, hyperventilating.
"I just received an SOS from Ally. She's been hacked again!"
"Oh dear..." says Fluttershy.
"Lemme guess... a tribute did it?"
"Yep, Yuliy Jivon Bon Bon. He summoned all the tributes registered in the Database to kill Da Samurai."
"Oh Celestia... Any other Arena news?"
"Nico shot Veradux with a flare gun while the Outerverse was executed for killing Mike Kowalski. Also, the Capitol's on fire."
Power folds her ears at the mention of the fire. "6k1, you better message your friends back in Panem to stay safe!"
She does so, and also calls her technician to debug Ally.
"Looks like we won't be visiting the Capitol Mall anymore. That was gonna be one of our stops."
"Aww... So where will we be going next?"
"South Korea. Power, best that you put on some pants."

The Arena
As Jack finishes beating Philia, it dissipates into light and attempts to possess Jack... only for two devices to form a cage around said light. The cage then takes it out of Panem and into the woods. It then turns invisible and stays there for now.
"At first, I was like "hmmm, yeah, buff choccy bunny." But bro: I don't think it's a joke anymore..."

Seoul
6k1 and Power arrive at the busy streets of the capital, where people are hustling and bustling around the shopping districts during the Christmas rush.
"6k1, are you sure about this? People are gonna freak out at a talking blue pony!"
Several passersby turn away from her immediately. 6k1 pats her on the head.
"It's okay, Power. Earth Prime hardly gets any visitors from other worlds, so that kind of reaction's normal. As long as you remain calm and follow the etiquette here, you'll be alright."
They both weave their way through the crowd and enter a shopping mall. 6k1 bows to the guard and greets him in Korean, then explains to him about her shopping buddy. An advanced translator app helps the conversation go smoothly.
"Why did you go back to your home planet for this?" asks Power as she and 6k1 go around the stores.
"While other universes offer fantastic gifts to give, sometimes presents from home are the best."
Hours of shopping later, 6k1 and Power prepare to depart for the next world. On their way out, they pass by a tech store with 4K TVs on display. They both watch the Battle Royale, and Power winces at Babs being killed by a demonic deer and then Nico being eaten by the Grey Goo while he and Ben Solo the Kylo Clone were fighting it for delicious Christmas cookies.
"Uh... 6k1? How are you gonna revive Nico?"
"I'll call Phoenix. One moment..."
She tells him to assign a necromancer to discreetly retrieve a sample of the Goo while it's still alive and extract Nico's remains for revival.
"But isn't it dangerous to enter the Arena right now?"
"Yes, but sometimes, I order my staff to do so for tasks like this, but only if it's necessary. Everyone has the same cloaking device as mine, so no need to worry about them being caught by the Peacekeepers or killed by the tributes."
6k1 then notices the date on her phone. It's already December 24 in Korea, so they better get going.
"Oh Celestia," says Power as she exits the mall. "I need to be home already, but I didn't buy all the gifts that I wanted to give!"
"It's okay," says 6k1 as she follows her, "just greeting your friends a Merry Christmas will do."
"Yeah yeah, I know about the True Meaning of Hearth's Warming, but I want to go the extra mile and draw my gifts for them."
"Heh, if that's what you want, then I don't mind that at all."
They both go outside and hug each other. 6k1 calls Perri to summon two portals: one for herself to continue her Multiversal shopping spree, and another for Power to go home.

Underground Bunker, Computer Teleportation Room
Having just finished work on presents in his lab, Ichigo starts his deliveries by transporting a package containing a Christmas/Hearth's Warming sweater and a golden robe reminiscent of Snoke's own robe
to Power's house, complete with a note.
Should I call you Power Snoke or Supreme Leader Pow-Pow whenever you're wearing that glorious robe?
He then sends a Count Dooku-style lightsaber to Bale, upgrades for Ally to prevent further hackings along with a little Baby Yoda/The Child costume for Mimi to 6k1's Database Library, a strength-enhancing exoskeleton to Dave, and gift cards to the other nominators related to their respective interests, seeing as he didn't know them well enough to know what to craft for them.
As for Psyche, he sends her a link to a nice Buzzfeed article about BTS and Halsey, as well as a BTS-themed leather jacket.
"Hope y'all like these."

The Obtention of the Gifts
Bale obtained his gifts for his friends after a long offscreen search you won't ever see.
Bale: Finally, I got my items. They'll be a surprise for the 25th. So I won't reveal what they are.
He then got a notification of Ichi's base, he got gifted a lightsaber styled after Count Dooku's.
Bale: This is awesome, Ichi, thanks a lot!

Power's Home
Power arrives home and sees Miranda preparing the Hearth's Warming feast. It's what the average pony would expect for the holiday, but there's also a plate of quesadillas on one side.
"Pow-Pow, you've got presents from your friend! Wanna open them already?"
"Sure!"
She goes to her and receives the gifts. She first tries on the sweater.
◊
"Heh, I knew you'd give me more clothes!" she says on her crystal ball. "One moment, I'll try on the robe."
She excuses herself, sets the ball on the table, and goes to her bedroom to change. She comes back out in it
◊ and reads the note for her.
"Pfffft, I'm not a Star Mares fan, but I feel cozy in this!"
She shows him the dinner table and also the presents underneath the tree.
"I just arrived from my Multiversal shopping spree with 6k1! I had to go home early since I haven't wrapped my presents yet, so I'll talk to you later!"
Power signs off, changes back to the sweater, and catches up with the season while she wraps her gifts. Once the season ends with Litwick surviving the Big Chunguses and the Console Wars in the next two Arena Events, she sends the gifts to her friends.
Underground Bunker, Teleporter Room
Power's gift for Ichi is teleported in. Attached is a note that says: Bought this Starble plush from Fluttershy in Rainbow Falls. Don't worry, it won't suddenly come to life and make a Christmas meal out of your stuff. ~Pow-Pow
The Database Library
After traveling across the Multiverse to buy the remaining presents, 6k1 returns home. The Library has Christmas lights stringed around its roof and windows, and statues of Santa and his reindeer stand outside of it. The monument right in front is also decorated similarly.
She enters the Library and is greeted by a giant Christmas tree that reaches the ceiling. It's decorated with ornaments that resemble books, with their pages opened to iconic moments of Hunger Games history. Presents of all different shapes and sizes surround its bottom, and they're all for the staff members.
6k1 greets Sophie and Timothy and congratulates them for a job well done. She then enters the basement and sees that the season has ended. She asks Claire for the recap, then assigns a scientist from her department to catch a Seel and a Spheal for the Hunger Games Holiday Special.
She turns her swivel chair around and sees Ichi's gifts for her assistants warped in.
"Ally, Mimi, time to open your presents!" she calls in the family room.
The robot and Starble enter her office. The latter tries to eat her present for her, but 6k1 activates the muzzle in time.
"Be patient, my little furball!" says 6k1. "I'll unwrap it for you."
She opens the gift and fits the costume on Mimi, then takes a selfie with her. 6k1 also searches for a pic of Baby Yoda and edits it to make him look like the Starble.
◊ She sends Ichi the edited photo first, which is captioned IT BABBY MIMI, followed by the selfie.
Scanning Christmas present that is addressed to Ally... says the Databot. Scan complete. Contents are hardware and software upgrades to increase Database security.
She adjusts her lasers and opens her gift with them. 6k1 rolls her eyes at Ally figuring out the gift before opening it, but gladly installs the upgrades on her. She also texts Ichi thanks.
Dupe enters the room and sees his siblings enjoying their gifts. He folds his ears and looks down.
"Cheer up, Dupe," says 6k1 as she pets him. "I've got a gift for you, too. Let me wrap it first."
He mews and gives her a hug. 6k1 then tells her assistants to go back to the family room as she gets to gift wrapping.

Tabby and Pecan arrive back from Christmas Shopping.They set their stuff down on the table.
"Woo, we are home! Gotta wrap this stuff up."
Wrapping is easy,we could put some in bags but how are we going to deliver them."
"Through the teleporter, duh."
"Oh..."
Ichigo comes into the room, with her homemade strawberry Santa Hat on.She greets them.
"Welcome back! Everything was alright when you were gone."
"Liar. By the tone of your voice I can tell something went wrong."
"Oh,we had one of the inmates escape while you were gone.I don’t know where he went but he is in here somewhere."
"Was it Akumo?"
"Who? Oh yeah,that guy."
"SHITTTT!! THOSE FUCKING VENTS..."
"Miss,calm down.We could scan the rooms or be cautious for where we go."
"Oh,alright.Lets bag these up right now. Christmas is tomorrow."
"I'll help you!"
"Thanks,Ichigo."
Moments Later
Tabby and the other two finally finished wrapping and bagging the presents for the nominators and her tributes.
"Woo,we finally did it! Now we have to wait to deliver them tomorrow."
"I can’t feel my hands."

Happy to see that his gifts were well-received thus far, he laughs at the Starblized Baby Yoda picture before sending 6k1 a text.
Sorry I didn't get anything for you and Dupe, BTW. I didn't know what the little cloning monkey liked and, well, I figured that seeing your friends happy during the holidays was the only gift you'd really want.
A droid brings him the Starble plushie from the teleportation room, and he reads the note.
"Heh... it's like having a pet Starble without all the hassle. Thanks, Pow-Pow."

Dave's Home Base
After some time, Dave wakes up to find that Felicia and Riza Hawkeye have both died late in the game and that he missed the next season. Oh well.
He then checks the calendar. Oh, it's nearly Christmas already? Where is it?
But speak of the devil, suddenly a delivery man and two of Dave's own men arrive, carrying a large box. "Here you go, sir; the box you requested," says the men.
Dave nods, thanking them as they leave. Then he opens the box, and smiles upon seeing its contents: a purple armor
, in the same mold as Aqua's. On each side are two pairs of
purple swords
, with one of them having a darker handle than the other.
He then takes a paper from his pouch, and begins writing down a note.
Dear 6k1,
How are you doing? I hope the days have been well for you. I myself am feeling much better after.... last time, if you know what I mean.
Anyway, consider this as my gift for Christmas to you, even if it's early. Remember what you asked to Master Yen Sid when we were going to train? This is exactly that, in the whole package. And it's got everything that you asked him; Yen Sid himself, as well as Aqua, the source of the armor's mold, has both confirmed this. When you don't need to use it, you can either remove it physically or by pressing a special pauldron on your left upper arm. Pressing pauldron when the armor is not in use will activate it.
As for the swords, I know they're a bit odd, since even the blades are purple, but that was a necessity as a conduit to the armor's requested powers when not in use, as well as be able to channel and cast magic the way Keyblade wielders do.
I hope this gift will help you in the future, and merry Christmas to you, sis!
Signed, Dave
He then turns the note around, and writes on this side: TO TRP-6001: FOR HER EYES ONLY. Tacking down the note on the box so that the latter note is the one seen first, he then summons a portal to outside the Database Library's barrier, and levitates the box before entering the portal with it. He then places it just beside the barrier, before leaving back into the Home Base. Feeling a bit weary, he decides to leave to the
After sometime, Fira enters the room.
"It's nearly Christmas, huh?" she ponders aloud.
"Yeah. Have we taken care of the men's gifts?"
"Hans told me that he's taking care of it, and last I heard, he's almost finished."
"Good to know. Anyway, is there something you need?"
"Just giving something early."
"Huh. You're not the type, as far as I can recall, to give gifts early."
"I just feel like it this time."
"Okay, what have you got?"
"Close your eyes."
He obliged. She then summons something.
"Okay, open your eyes now," she tells him affectionately.
He opens his eyes to find her giving him a photograph of the two of them during their younger days.
"Huh, where did you get this?"
"That's my secret."
"Oh, you tease. Anyway, I don't have my present with me.... yet. But let me give you something in return. Now you close your eyes." She nods as she does so, and to her surprise he kissed her in the cheek. "There. Now, if you don't mind, how about we have a dinner sometime? I know a good place for that."
Fira opens her eyes in complete shock. "Did you just.... ask me out for a dinner?"
Dave smiles cheekily. "Yes, I did. What, you don't want to? If not, I could always ask—"
"Of course I do!" she said, a little too quickly. "I'd like to go out for a dinner with you sometime."
"Great. I'll arrange things up, and I'll tell you when to go. As for how.... well, my secret."
"Oh, you sneak."
"Heh, I learned from the best," Dave jokes before laughing, causing Fira to laugh as well.
Hope: "Let's go. We'll be together." Lightning: "I only know... that soon, we'll be together."

Meet the Moonlight Corps
A mysterious looking woman with bug-like antenna places her hand on the forehead of a unconscious fish girl.She wakes up screaming.
"What?! Where am I?"
"Squigly,she has woken up finally."
Minette looks up at the girl with purple skin in front of him. She introduces herself.
"Hello there,Minette.My name is Squigly,I'm the head commander of the Moonlight Corps. We're happy to have you into our forces."
"Huh,so this is your headquarters? Tell me about it,what's it like?"
"Ooh, a tour!"
"The Moonlight Corps is named after our founder Moonlight Cookie who has been a follower of the games since Tabby has been nominating.She's a close ally of ours.It has been formed during S60 after the so called V incident which destroyed a lot of Panem to help protect against disasters like that."
"Woah,I guess we are from the same universe.I heard a rumor that the Voidlands are opening up again."
"Oh,We are in the middle of scouting out the Dragonballs for Billy and interrogating that little green guy who screams a lot. We are one of the forces focused on stopping the Legion of Doom."
They heard some loud screaming coming from a barred door down another corridor.
"LET ZIM GOOOO..."
"Ugh,Zim. Mantis,would you go and calm him down please? You were close to him in that season."
"Sure madam."
Mantis then leaves to the holding cells. Squigly continues her conversation with Minette.
"As I was saying,you are now going to speak to our leader by the time Valkyrie is fully informed of this organization.And then you are drafted in by a little ceremony hosted by us and you are expected to train everyday in combat to fight against evil forces."
"Sure thing. Can't believe this is happening too fast."
They continue down the hallway to Moonlight Cookie's office.Squigly opens up the door.
"Madam,she's ready."
"Oh good. I've been dreaming of this for very long."

The Database Library, Basement
It's okay, 6k1 texts Ichi, Dupe just wanted to see his ohana this Christmas, and he already got that after visiting Slushy. I still got him something, though.
6k1 finishes wrapping up the gifts and places the ones for her assistants under the little tree in the family room. While they already received their early gifts, they'll open these on Christmas Day itself.
6k1 then sends the gifts to her tributes and nominator friends. For Dave, Ichi, Psyche, Zanreo, and Bale, they'll receive special gifts from her, and for everyone else, they'll receive small gifts pertaining to their interests. Like the ones for her assistants, they're to be opened on Christmas Day, too.
"6001, Dave has a gift for you!"
The DM hears Sophie's voice through the door and opens it. She sets the package down and carefully unwraps it. 6k1 smiles as she reads the note, then tries on the armor.
It's definitely an upgrade from her Exoskeleton, and she'll enter the Arena in this. However, she doesn't know how to swordfight, so she would need to find a sparring partner.
The DM messages Dave thanks and yawns. The jet lag from traveling the Multiverse has exhausted her. She presses the pauldron to desummon the armor, then showers and changes to her pajamas. She flops on her bed and sleeps off the rest of Christmas Eve.
Power's Home
Like 6k1, Power also sent gifts to her friends, especially Starfall and Gale. They'll open them on Hearth's Warming Day, too.
"Pow-Pow, the whole family has arrived!"
"Really?!"
They both open the door, and the entire family bursts into the room. They're mostly unicorns, but there are a few pegasi and earth ponies in the mix. Several colts and fillies run to the stage and dance on it.
"Mom! Dad! I missed you sooo much!"
Power rushes in to hug them. Her sisters join in, too, and the eldest lets Power kiss her 1-month-old colt in the cheek.
"I can't believe I'm Auntie Pow-Pow already! I have a lot to catch up with you!"
"Alright, everyone!" says Miranda to the foals. "Before we start with the program, let's all have dinner first!"
Oh Celestia, time for Power to face the dreaded year-end questions...

Scipion rolled his eyes when he saw Mewtwo's defeat with his father. Of course he was going to lose.
"Scipion, I think it will soon be time to give the gifts you gathered to the other nominators." reminded Giratina to Scipion who smirked, looking at some little wooden packages that he quickly made after returning from his world. Unlike most people, the Zoroark, having no money at all, have searched and gathered some items he knew was going to be great gifts.
"Yeah, I know. But I rather wait for tomorrow to give them, ya know? Like with most kids opening their gifts the 25th December."
"And you're going to send the gifts, am I correct?"
"Yup. Althought I'll deliver personally the gift to Sixty. That's the least I can do for her, after all she did forgive my past self and my actions." Scipion said more quietly.
"Scipion, your presence is required. I have received some gifts for this ridiculous festival." said dryly the Dark Star, interrupting Scipion and Giratina's conversation.
"Geez, they sending gifts that early?." exclaimed Scipion before following the Dark Star leading to some gifts. First, there was Ichigo's gift cards. Meh, I don't even have money for them to be useful. But I can't blame Ichi for that, at least he thought of me. The act is all that matter thought Scipion. He then saw 6k1's gift as well and didn't opened it yet, following the little note that was with it.
Scipion went back to his father and was intrigued to see him smiling. "Huh? You actually brought something for me? I thought we weren't celebrating Christmas here! I don't even have a gift for you!"
"When I told you that, I was only refering to the gifts. Christmas is first of all about people celebrating together. I had Arceus preparing a special dinner for both of us, I'm sure both of us will enjoy it." he said, gesturing Scipion to follow him until they reached a platform big enough for them to rest between 2 waterfalls. A portal was in front of it, showing some highlights from previous season since Scipion first one in the new timeline. On the platform, were various kind of food like meat or chocolate coming from various worlds that Giratina and Arceus once visited when they were younger.
"Wow... And I was getting hungry! Thanks dad!" exclaimed the Zoroark, licking his lips at the sight.
Meanwhile, Firebrand and Ridley were watching some people celebrating Christmas using some portals from the Distortion World. When Ridley growled, complaining about how ridiculous Christmas was, Firebrand replied back that his people were too celebrating a party similar to Christmas where families got reunited and where little demons also opened gifts, usually weapons.
Thorax was cooking for Pharynx and tried to have a nice little Christmas dinner with his brother. Pharynx wasn't thrilled by it but was agreeably surprised by Thorax's cooking talents. Obviously, Zarblin smelled the food and quickly went to the changelings's table to eat. Pharynx angrily tried to make him go away but Thorax told him not to and that it was alright to have a dinner at three. Pharynx rolled his eyes but agreed and watched a bit amused as Zarblin was loudly eating.
Lastly, after being resurrected and asking Thorax for some food, Mewtwo approached Giegue still in his bed. Althought he was disappointed by his run, Mewtwo was glad that Giegue was feeling better. "Ah, you're back! I saw your performance in the Battle Royale and it was alright. But how could you be Nico's ancestor?" The Pokemon shrugged his shoulders.
"I suppose that I am in a way. I'm a clone of Mew, a Pokemon that is the ancestor of every living Pokemons. I won't be surprised if one Mew, when there was many of them, accidentally went to another world and evolved to create Nico's species."
Giegue laughed. "That's an interesting theory." Mewtwo yawned, feeling tired and told the alien that he was going to sleep and that they could talk more later. The alien nodded and was amused to see that Mewtwo was sleeping while staying up.

CAC: (Sigh) Another season I miss... oh, well. By the way, for Christmas, I wish Kythring finds McCoy and Bart, and Jimmy and Norton rescue their sisters.
Jimmy: Thanks for the kind words.

Outside the Ice Palace
After a while of Zanreo and her tributes trying to get inside but failing, Zanreo noticed the current date. "It's almost Christmas, huh... Wasn't how I expected to spend today." Either way, it seemed like there wasn't a lot more to do here now...Zanreo's Secret Base
Zanreo gets back to her base, along with her tributes, who decide to leave for home. The base was mostly decorated for Christmas now, with Zanreo having started the decorating before she left.
"Oh, welll))comebaccc#*k!" Glitch!Zanreo greets her. "And... Merr//y Chri726stma*s!!!!!" she says as she hands her a gift. "Mig_/ht notbe m<ucchh... butI...ho388peyouuu... like it..." Zanreo unwraps it to find... a small plush Yoshi and some candy, along with a weird "799 in One" game cart.
"Aww, thanks! This Yoshi is so cute... and I can't wait to see what's on this cart!"
"I'mmmm... gladyou li3783ke it" Glitch!Zanreo says with a smile. "Als636o, th_#uis arr8iveddd from Ichi..." Glitch!Zanreo hands Zanreo a gift card for video games.
"Ooh, this might come in handy! Gotta send him a thank-you message later... also, got something for you too! Let me just get it..." Zanreo leaves for her room and shortly after comes back with a gift. "Here you go! Merry Christmas!" she says as she throws her glitchy clone the gift. Glitch!Zanreo catches it, and opens it (clipping through the box in the process) to find some Pokémon Adventures manga along with some purple visor-like glasses.
"Oh... t^han>*ks!" She tries on the glasses. "Whattt@s thi#$s... but8566ton?" she asks as she presses it... only for a (non-damaging) laser beam to shoot out of them. "W-w466hoa..."
"So, what do you think?" Zanreo grins.
"Haha... notttb!@%/ad!"
Zanreo also notices some other gifts had finally arrived while she was gone - the gifts for her nominator friends. And it was about time to send them out...
"Leftover items still have value!"

The Christmas Un-Surprise
Legion of Doom's Base (24th Of December 2019)
The Legion of Doom were organizing a Christmas Party. Or something like that. Demencia was stashing Christmas items on Black Hat, much to the dark lord's frustrations. Lucemon had his minions decorate their rooms with objects in his image. Bill was setting fire to a nearby planet, laughing alongside Grogar, Nightmare and Medusa at the carnage. Aku was ordering some food from a nearby planet. And HIM was... Uh. I forgot, doesn't matters. Meanwhile the lowest ranked members had a gift exchange.
Sir Pentious: Okay guyss, it's time we hand out special gifts for one another.
Leroy: Gifts are dumb, for stupid people who have feelings.
Dark End: I love to get gifts, it suits my status as the ultimate lifeform.
Sir Pentious: Man, what I'd kill for to have my own planet right now. Wait, where's that Kaito guy?
They were approached by a small Demidevimon.
Demidevimon: I've sent him a message on a phone for the gift exchange, but I wonder where he is.
In other rooms, Smaug was seen entering his room and closing it, not willing to share anything, Marx began to prepare himself for any possible gift exchanges, Grandfather grumpily locked himself in his room, Venomous, Cosma and TKO were playing chess, Bulba was target practicing, all while Nightmare gave a message to the Base.
Nightmare: My minions, an announcement is to be made now regarding this nefarious holiday of Christmas.
Customer Service: We want to promote camadarie amongst our members, and we want to do a small gift exchange. It will be done in 5 hours, so be ready for the announcement was meant to be a surprise.
Alastor: More like an unsurprise, saw that coming from a while ago.
"Bingo! If two species hate each other, they will wipe each other out on their own."
Viva la rabbit hero or somethin
The Legion of Doom's Base
As Shiva receives her gift, she opens it. Inside is a tiny replica of a Luminmech flagship, complete with a recreation of the Deoire Dominus.
"Awwww. This is cute."
FLASHBACK: Capitol Mall
As Philia set the fire near explosives in the mall, it then exits and attempts to go back to participate in the arena. However, some Peacekeepers attempt to stop it.
"We don't care if you're a so-called Lightwarden. Surrender now or prepare to die."
"Oh, you mortals are very funny. Well, I have an idea..."
It then chains down the leader of the group. It turns around to have its right large arm face them.
"Dammit! Shoot this thing off me!"
"On it, sir!"
They shoot the chains enough to break them. However, they were too late to notice that Philia was charging up its knout.
"Farewell, mortals!"
It then slams its right arm hard into the ground, creating a shockwave that sends the group in the fire, burning to death.
"And the trash has been taken care of... Time to head on back."

The Various Nominator Bases
It's now time for 6k1's friends to open their gifts. Dave receives a replica of the Heart Locket; Ichi, two crossguard lightsabers; Psyche, real BT21 plushies; Zanreo, a QUALITY Christmas sweater; and Bale, minifigs of his favorite villains.
For Hearth's Warming, both Starfall and Gale receive the same gift: a painting of the three nominator ponies together, with Power in the center. All three are hugging each other.
6k1 thought of the performances of the Kylos last season and the bootleg plushies in the season before that, so she felt that these gifts would make up for them. As for the locket, her note to Dave says:
This is the Heart Locket, which provides the second best defense among the Underground armors. Both Asriel and the First Human wore this when they were together, and I also bought one for myself. I even asked the jeweler to make a custom engraving inside. I hope you like it, brother.
Inside the locket are the words "Siblings Forever".
"Rarity, are you okay? We gotta get you and your friends outta here soon!"

The Gift that Keep on Giving
Bale decided to send his gifts to his friends and acquaintances all over the Multiverse using Mini-Deadpool's multiplying ability to deliver each gift.
Bale: And here's the message, repeat it well, MD: "From your dearest friend and ally, Bale.
He then sent each gift: for Dave he got him copies of Linkin Park's best albums, plushies of Carlos, Ralsei, and Twilight Sparkle for 6K1, Kirby soundtracks for Tabby and Mr. Star, a scale replica of the Death Star II to Ichigo, and a small sculpture of Scipion for Scips.
Bale: Gee, I wonder how Gale's doing right now ... Oh look at these gifts from Six, send her my thanks, MD.
Meanwhile with Gale
Gake was scared as the monstrous crocodile turned to him and opened it's jaws to eat him, but before it could hit him, it was scared away by a magic blast to it's back, fired by Trixie. Gale then thought to himself about how his gifts to Power and Starfall must be beyond ruined now. Right before receiving her gift.
Gale: Man, I just survived this and now this negative thought just HAS to come. Argh, what will I even get for her and Starfall? And this is after she gave me this wonderful friendship token!
"Bingo! If two species hate each other, they will wipe each other out on their own."
Underground Bunker, Computer Room
Opening his presents, Ichigo smiles as he activates his lightsabers, then shuts them off before placing the scale model of the second Death Star upon his desk. Texting his thanks and appreciation to 6k1 and Bale, he pours himself a cup of hot chocolate.

The Database Library, Basement
6k1 wakes up to the jingle-jangle of the Christmas bells. She goes to the family room and gives her gifts to her assistants. Ally receives a battery upgrade that has the same capacity as her current one, but charges twice as fast; Dupe receives a sweater with Slushy's face on it; and Mimi receives laserproof pet toys.
6k1 pours herself a mug of hot cocoa while watching her children enjoy their presents. She then receives a message from Timothy that Mini-Deadpool has arrived with Bale's gifts for her. After giving him temporary access to the basement to deliver them, she opens them and cuddles the plushies.
She messages Bale thanks, then comes across a meme featuring Power in her Snoke robe superimposed on Kokichi's face
◊, with the caption: I'm Power Stroke, the Ultimate Supreme Leader! 6k1 laughs and sends it to Ichi and Psyche, telling the former to show it to Power.
Power's Home
Power gets bombarded with question after question about her life. Dad's concerned that she mostly just sits around and watches the Games, and Mom wants her to get a real job. Her sisters, on the other hoof, wish they could spend more time with her, but they understand her wishes.
Power tells them that she's doing fine despite the ups and downs that come with being a nominator. She's been going out more often thanks to her friends throwing all those parties, and she's grateful that they're always there for her.
Hoo boy, these questions were hard to answer, but Power promises to make time for her family whenever she can.
After dinner, it's time for the Hearth's Warming program. Power goes up to the stage and hosts the talent show, now that the performers are all her cousins' children, or her "cousins once removed" as she insists. Her generation had their turn, so the holiday tradition has been passed down to them.
She smiles as the foals all dance and sing, although she cringes a little at their mistakes. Power knows that they're just foals, so they still get their gifts even if they flub the lyrics or trip on themselves.
And before she knows it, it's gift giving time. As always, Power has a lot of presents from her family and friends, so it's gonna take a while until she opens them all...

The Arena
Philia's camp gets pulled down as a revenge act from Noodle and Yully... only to backfire once they realize it belongs to Ben
"Guess I'll go now."
The sun rises. Philia gets the sudden urge to play miniature golf. So it dons a very oversized golf club and ends up hitting the ball into the force field.
"Oopsie daisy...."
The moon returns. Jade manages to snag its theme
to add to her ever growing playlist of unfitting songs.
The sun rises again. Knowing that it will have no one to kill should the sim plan go through, it starts a fire in an attempt to protest.
"You CANNOT take away MY source of aether!"
