[There is a crackle of static then a festive chime as the device on your wrist switches on. Flipping the device open, you will find an updated map of the House and this week's announcement in text.]

Good morning everyone.

The parrots that had previously escaped our attempts to remove have been disposed of. We sincerely apologize for any grievances caused by the animals. The house should now be in proper order.

It has come to our attention that the holidays are fast approaching. We recommend everyone to stay in high spirits. The house will be decorated on the 22nd and we encourage housemates to extend a helping hand to staff.

Any Housemates wishing to give presents or wanting to request items for this holiday, you can let us know this week!

Happy holidays everyone.

[The announcement ends with another festive chime.]

⌂Starting on the 21st, housemates will start seeing a holy jolly man dressed in red and a small tiger cub out of the corner of their eyes. The frequency of these sightings increase until the New Year. Where the sightings occur can be absolutely anywhere. Happy Holidays TV and I hope the Year of the Tiger is good to you all!

This bloody parrot is going to be plucked and thrown in the oven if it doesn't stop pecking me and trying to rip my hair out. It's worse than a Cornish Pixie! I woke up this morning and it tried to go for my ear.

I'm not even going to repeat some of the things it's been saying.

Seeing as it's only me in my room, do you lot all fancy having some sort of get together over Christmas? It is most definitely not a sleepover. We could grab some food from the kitchen and I still have plenty of stuff in the trunk so we could really just spend some time together; it's Christmas and I think it'd be nice.


[[ooc: Rei, Ann, Reppy, do you guys want to either do this via action tags or turn it into a log with the Marauders all actually catching up and such?]]

So, this is the latest torture they put upon us. I do really like birds, and parrots are fun, but_
OW!
Squak! QUITTER!

No, I'm not a quitter... It's not like that...
Quitter!
No...

Caged bird!
Shut up!!!

[You are awoken by the sounds of birds chirping. Not the outside the window chirping—right beside your head chirping. Before you have a chance to investigate or go back to sleep, the device on your wrist crackles and demands your attention.]

Good morning, everyone.

It seems we encountered problems over the last few weeks. We sincerely apologize and assure you that any mess created has been taken care of.

It seems that while we were cleaning a few things escaped our attention. You have our word that we are attempting to rid the house of the problem as we speak.

Please enjoy this week.

⌂This week people will find they have their own personal parrot! The colours vary from person to person and they will feel strangely compelled to care for this little critter. Unfortunately the parrot does not return the feelings and highly dislikes you. The parrots will take their hate out in physical and verbal ways. That's right; the parrots will gladly and constantly inform you why they dislike you.

Event ends on the 19th.
