The Great Mathom Mix Up
It’s Silas Hardwick’s birthday party! As is the custom with Hobbit birthday parties, there are presents for all and sundry... but there’s been an Accident!Unfortunately, the table with all the presents on has been toppled over by Silas’ new kitten - and she’s torn off all the ribbons with the name labels on too...
What’s worse - Silas’ dear old Ma was in charge of the wrapping, and she’s accidentally wrapped up
- some empty boxes
- Some mathoms Silas brought home to categorise and clean
- Some of the Hardwicks’ personal possessions
... so nobody knows what might be in each box!
There’s only one way to solve this crisis: everybody get stuck in, have some cakes and ale, and start unwrapping presents! Some of them may be Unexpected, but some of them may be delightful surprises!
All the presents will have a cash value, of course, so we can have a winner at the end - but you won’t be told until the end! You will also be allowed to exchange presents, and give presents to the person you think is due them, after you have opened them! Some of the presents will be mathoms and some have a negative value!
The real prize will be to find Silas’ Ma’s heirloom ring she accidentally dropped into a present and wrapped up. If you find this she will bake you pie forever.
There will also be just a chance to RP and follow the prompts! If this goes well, perhaps more party games later.
Please suggest names for Silas’ new kitten when you’re coming in!
Rules:
- Free peoples only; if you must be a minion, please be in a disguise that could fool Silas’ dear old confused Ma
- Please don’t post all in bold red EXCEPT when picking a present to Open, Exchange or Gift to someone. I’ll do RP prompts in bold red too.
- Please leave either 24 hours or three other people posting between Opening a New Present. Only choose one present to open at a time.
- Choose your present to open by picking the appropriate number from the graph, A1 through D7. Be nice. I made this on my mobile
- No godmoding except by me, Sil
- Feel free to RP in between any prompts and present opening
- Mark OOC as OOC, no need to white out
- Rating PG13, there *will* be at least some pipe weed references I expect
