CPSS4: Live Free or Secret Hard! (OPEN THEM NOW!)

[DX7.EP]

All right, now that it's the 25th here let's open up the package!


Singapore eh? This ought to be interesting. Oh hey, customs sticker notes a plushie inside, I wonder what kind...?

Time to open the gift / uncrate the loot....


...:*
Amazing! Now to read the note:


:* :* :* This just got 400x better

No choice but to play around with the new plush and give her the Soldier stuff :V


DONATE NOW, MAGGOTS, AND YOU WILL NOT BE HARMED!

There's only one part missing - who made and sent this excellent gift? Going by the illustration style on the card, I'm pretty certain that pasu sent this. In which case, more Pasuheads galore! :getdown:
Regardless whether that is correct or not, many thanks for this! :3

[Rin Kagamine]

So my gift:



P4 Golden and a Vita skin!  I threw my Mikkuri in the picture for good measure.

I have a history with P4.  I've bought versions of P3 4 times and have completed the game 9 times.  I bought P4 upon release and have never come close to finishing it; I keep waffling about whether or not I actually want to play it in fear that I might like the game more than P3 and to this point have never made it beyond Yukiko's castle.  Now that I own this game twice I have a huge incentive to actually play the freaking thing!

Thanks EP!

[N-Forza]

WHAT THERE WAS A TSUKIHIME ANIME?!

Clearly a photoshopped cover. Probably Eiken or something on the inside.

Also I want that Soldier Reimu holy crap

[Nietz]

OK, time to open up!
I had gotten a pretty nondescript package that seemed to contain three items, and so, upon opening it:

A Darth Vader head plushie (Vaderkkuri?), which looks all kinds of cute and badass at the same time. The label says it's from Angry Birds Star Wars, but I can't see any noticeable difference from the original DV, I guess he already had a bird-looking head?
Second subpackage was two "monster caps" to use with mustard and ketchup, exactly the kind of cheesy thing with limited use I asked for!
And third is a figure from Aion Online. I'm not familiar with the franchise, but that doesn't stop me from finding it very detailed and badass looking. The feet were broken at the ankles, probably during the travel, but it seems easy enough to fix with a little superglue.

Anyway, thanks a lot partner!
As from who you are, I can't say I have a good clue, so I'm gonna use Sherlock Mind Hax Power and guess... Dr Rawr?

[Tamashii Kanjou]

Good morning to all of you. This is Tamashii Kanjou, reporting in about this 'Secret Santa' package. This is my third Christmas doing this with you lot, so let's see what wonderful items are in here.

But first, let us see how this looks :

What a handy piece of chocolate you are! So, let us find a way of opening this up... shall we? XD


Hmm... I think I spy...


Welp. Some tasty treats! Going to share these with Puppy-chan later. Now what else is there...


SUSPICIOUS CHRISTMAS GIFT DETECTED! Please wait whilst we destroy this paper!


... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Oh my gosh! I mean... OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH! XD
That is amazing! This is... oh wow! Thank you so much for this!

Also, sweet collection from the others so far. Look forward to seeing the others soon~ XD

[NegaZero]

Merry Christmas, everyone! Hope it's been a good one for you all.
Through some twisted luck, I managed to stay home from work today!


Singapore, huh? After looking through the thread, there are at least three people participating that live in Singapore...


Is that what I think it is?


COFFEE, MY ONE TRUE LOVE
Also some white lion/fish thing.


PRAISE THE SUN \o/


Haha, what


Oh, it's a merlion.
Well, I've actually never tried instant coffee, so this will be an interesting experience.
Also that picture of Marisa is amazing. No, seriously, it is. It's so good, my dad and stepmom thought this was a pre-printed card at first.
Judging from the artwork, I'm going to say that venappo sent this.
Thank you very much! This is an amazing gift!

brb going to make a cup of coffee

E: Oh yeah, jukebeat is an English version of jubeat for iOS devices. I've actually never played the arcade version ;_;

[Edible]

Merry Christmas and big thanks Ediboss :V

Oh god he FPMHed a Christmas present.  :getdown:

(The DVD is mostly a joke, but all the better if you get some enjoyment out of it somehow)

There's really only a couple of people who could've sent mine, but as I am presently in one state and my presents are present in another, I will open and post about them tomorrow.

Merry Christmas, folks.  <3

[Rei Scarlette]

Merry Christmas everyone!

Of course, I wasn't able to participate due to IRL things (and the fact that after all these years I've only registered here at motk recently) but I still think it's great how you guys have been doing this each year. Even if some of you are half-across the world from each other, you all still manage to put a smile on someone's face each Christmas. And that, is definitely awesome.

Perhaps next year I'll join in, if things are better for me at the time. If not, I can still sit back and watch. :V Hope you all like what you receive (and even if not, remember, it's not about the gifts, it's the thought that counts) and you all have a nice day~

[Imosa]

@Tamashii Kanjou: Wait what did you get? It looks cool. I just don't know what it is.

[Edible]

Also, quick request for everyone - if you take pictures of packages, please try to edit out or cover the addresses if possible. Thanks!

[Menorah Jams, Pham]

'twas the day after the night before Christmas which fell like three weeks after Chanukah thanks to the crazy Hebrew lunar calendar
and not a creature was stirring, except for triangles singing this exactly the same way these kids are.
The presents were dropped under the tree with some infintesimal degree of care
In hopes that someone would bring me some goddamn coffee already because it's 8:21 AM and I'm not asleep :V

ANYWAY SANTA CAME despite me being one of the Christ-killers :V :V  THANK YOU SANTA! 


Bawkses!  One's from Iceland and it's for me holy craaaaaaaaaap


It's a puffin!  This guy totes doesn't have Toucan Sam envy.  It's not the size and colorfulness of the beak, it's how you use it!


Iceland: "Our calendar is full of so many volcanoes and shit, we're not going to name it anything other than ISLAND.  We are vikings, come at me bro." 
(That's their Latin motto.  Iceland agreed, don't bother them about it)


SCORE SANTA SENT ME MONEY
It's a 1 kroner keychain!


Gl?ves and s?cks!  Although triangles is gonna have to help me out with the socks, seeing as my feet are abnormal and gargantuan.  :ohdear:


WHOSOEVER WEARS THIS HAT, IF HE BE WORTHY, SHALL POSSESS THE POWER OF THOR

Allow me to explain:


So not only is it the Hat of Thor, it's the MANLIEST HAT  :dealwithit:


And a p?stcard!  It sayeth on back


>Cirno's Perfect Secret Santa
>Secret
>Signing your name
>2012
>even though it's obvs where it came from

Thanks for the badass awesome stuff Santy Viking Claus!


Cecilia what are you doing
That is not for you
Give it back

[N-Forza]

So like I said, a few days ago, this showed up:


うおっまぶしっ


Under that layer is...

HOORAY! Just what I always wanted!

As for it's ACTUAL contents:

AHHHH FURRIES!!!!! NUKE IT WITH FIRE FROM ORBIT GOON SIR


Because, you know, I'm not already constantly surrounded by Evangelion as it is. At least in this format, it's slightly more comprehensible.


This is pretty cool: a pillow that has a velcro strap so it can be curled up. And I do like penguins and all.


The obligatory create.swf picture.


And the card itself.


Yeah, so it's blurry, deal with it. The three cards are Tower Drake, Burden of Guilt and Search Warrant. I don't know if this selection is supposed to be significant in any way, as if hinting at the sender.

Thanks, Kanjou!

[Rin Kagamine]

Jesus Tap-dancing Christ you people are good at guessing where your gifts came from

[triangles]

I too received a box, it was the white one you see in MJP's photo. 
(oh god my living room is messy haven't cleaned please don't judge me  :ohdear:)
(also mismatched PJs but psh to that I'm not sorry)

Ceci is helping me unwrap Christmas.


Santa Ducks!  This will be great for the bubble baths I can take because I'm short enough to fit into the bathtub :V  This also explains the rattling I heard so I'm glad it wasn't anything being broken!


A knit hat!  I like hats.  MJP takes photos at the worst possible times but whatever.  Like the bandaid?  That is where I sliced my finger when I was chopping chocolate because only I can manage to bleed in the process of making cookies.


Oh I see what Ceci wanted.
Catnip mousies!


A Taters emerges and wants mousie too!  She grabs it right out of my lap and doesn't even wait for me to take it out of the package holy crap what sort of weapons grade catnip is this?


I wrestle the mousies away from Taters to snip them off the card and throw them back into the box.  Both cats are intrigued.  Clearly this is the best idea.


What no
Ceci what are you doing
That's not very nice
But since Cirno Claus brought twomice for my twocats once I threw them they each got one and all was well :V

I instantly recognized the name so no guessing required - thanks Jana :3 :3 :3

[The ⑨th Zentillion]

Alright, its time!


First of all, an amazon parcel box, addressed to me, from a name I know there is only one person with that...

In any case, let's see what's inside!


A very cool letter with an amusing sketch! Also, a silly little bit of silliness on the back. I'll have to scan for more clarity!

Front :3

Back :]



Hmm, a flat rate envelope. Just covering the rest up? No, hang on, there's something in here!


Oh freaking sweet! A crossing over of four interests at once. Aaaa fantastic.


Scanned, for better res.

Underneath that, we have... books! And an art piece!


Two Touhou books.


Madoka & The Magical Factory printed out in booklet form?! Yeeees~


And the art piece is a very nice picture of Reimu. :3

Lastly...


Shorts! :getdown: It's unfortunately too cold to wear them at the moment, but when spring/summer kicks around, these are going right on my body!

Thanks aplenty, Maullar. Man, I oh so wonder what I would have gotten if I'd said "yes" to NSFW presents (would I really have gotten that Mr. Lumpy?! ). But, man, these are excellently fantastic on their own so it doesn't matter at all. BV

[Dr Rawr]

As from who you are, I can't say I have a good clue, so I'm gonna use Sherlock Mind Hax Power and guess... Dr Rawr?

duh fuck?

[N-Forza]

Jesus Tap-dancing Christ you people are good at guessing where your gifts came from

I hope that was sarcastic, since all I had to go was look under the SPOILER on the card. :V

[Rin Kagamine]

I hope that was sarcastic, since all I had to go was look under the SPOILER on the card. :V

Not your's obviously since you didn't have to guess

[Nevindar]

Merry Christmas, guys and gals!
I wish you a great and awesome 2013.

Now lets see what we got.

A hard and a soft-ish package, adressed to me by someone I do not know.
Poking and prodding reveals few secrets and closer investigation reveals one arrived with USPS and that the other is from Amazon.

So after a few expert incisions, package no.1 reveals:

A box of candy! Lots and lots of delicious marshmellows~  :]
A pair of Touhou powerups (not pictured here).
And a letter from the secret Cirno.

Now, lets see... Whats behind door inside package no.2?

A book! And a pretty interesting book at that. 
Thanks man, I really appriciate it.
(The smudge is from the camera).

So, all in all:

I am very happy with this, thanks Mike!
Now excuse me while I overdose on sugar.  :getdown:

---------

Also, to my anonymous recipient:
I deeply apologize that you have not received the package yet.
It's almost there. I just should have sent it sooner... ;_;

[Pesco]

I didn't want to believe Edible sent to me based on the handwriting on the address :V

[HakureiSM]

WHY DO SOME OF YOU PEOPLE SIGN YOUR SECRET SANTA CARDS :V

Welp, I'm still on the waiting game, but some of you got awesome gifts hot damn

[Edible]

I didn't want to believe Edible sent to me based on the handwriting on the address :V

My handwriting is terrible, it's true

[Hello Purvis]

Pictures forthcoming later

Whelmed status: Over

Crimbo Status: Hell yes.

[Imosa]

WHY DO SOME OF YOU PEOPLE SIGN YOUR SECRET SANTA CARDS :V

lol, I didn't think about that. It just seemed like the right thing to do.

[Tengukami]

Gl?ves and s?cks!  Although triangles is gonna have to help me out with the socks, seeing as my feet are abnormal and gargantuan.  :ohdear:

Yeah, the socks are for △s. I figured you would catch on to that!

>Cirno's Perfect Secret Santa
>Secret
>Signing your name
>2012
>even though it's obvs where it came from

Thanks for the badass awesome stuff Santy Viking Claus!

Yeah, after I signed it I was like "Dur." But decided to leave it anyway. Glad you were able to read my chickenscratch.

Glad you enjoyed the st?ff!

[♛ Apher-Forte]

Dear Chaore, glad you enjoy your Seiba~~~ I was saving it for a special time but hey who better to send it to than a Type Moon fan? and lol 'our' family I was gonna go for YOUR but erppp.

* ♛ Siri brotherhood hugs Chao

Sadly it seems mine hasn't arrived... >_<|||

[Imosa]

For my gift I got 36 Cube, a puzzle that has now entranced someone in my family every hour not spent sleeping.

I have yet to beat it but I got to 34/36 this morning.
I have no idea who sent me this. I only know, their irl name, and address, because it's written on the shipping invoice but this information is borderline useless to me.
Thank you very much for the though provoking thing.

[Quad City QBs]

with a name like Boots & Barkley I'm disappointed it wasn't a b-ball toy

Scanned, for better res.

Hohoho. Honestly, you should've been tipped off by how I added 'SL' to the Amazon branding on the box, such that it reads 'Slamazon.' Also can I repost the picture on my DA

Wait, wh-- ... Son of a bitch I didn't notice that until now!  :derp:

In any case, of course you can repost it. You did draw it after all. BV

[Jana]

I am glad you enjoyed your gifts, triangles! Kind of like what Ammy did, one of the santa ducks is for MJP. Gifts for the whole family!

with a name like Boots & Barkley I'm disappointed it wasn't a b-ball toy

Pretty much why I chose that brand of cat toy over the other ones.


I'll post mine once I get my hands on a borrowed camera, but if whoever sent it is reading this, I haven't figured out who you are, and I loved it~
