Christmas in Wayward City

Description

here's what traditional Christmas decorations look like in wayward city! (mostly made from public domain clipart.) the most important thing about Christmas in this quadrant is how gruesome you can possibly make it. blood, guts, weapons, violence, public sex, murder, torture, you name it. if it's considered bad, it's perfect for the holidays.

outside are lights that aren't quite as bright as they should be, some flickering, some bulbs dusty or even broken. there are very few strings of lights decorating the city, and they seemed to have been put up haphazardly. freshly killed corpses are hung on trees or lamp posts, usually with all clothing removed, hair shaved off, ALL orifices sewn shut, including eyes, lips, ears, nipples, and genetalia are removed with skin graphed over where they used to be, as well as graphing skin over the belly button. after everything is finished, they look like naked dolls. oh and... beware of a serial killer who only strikes on Christmas eve. he calls himself "santa claus," but instead of bringing presents, he slides down your chimney and kills anyone in the house. he's skinny, wears a black santa outfit with crimson trim, and hides his face with a eerie, smiling santa mask. no one knows his real identity.

inside the homes, the tree is a pathetic dead one, again with dim lights. usually skulls, ninja stars, or stars made out of blades go on top of the tree, and the ornaments range from various body parts, organs, rotten or smelly food, chains, shrunken heads, and more. the garland is made out of intestines. all of the body parts are fresh at the time of purchase. wreathes are normally made out of twigs, vines with thorns, bones, and/or blades. wall garland can be made from organs such as intestines or stripped skin, or chains, bullet belts, or linked-together cuffs. it is also not uncommon for aborted or stillborn fetuses to be used as decoration.

stockings are made out of filthy rags, or are discarded socks. they can even just be small burlap sacks. they are filled with body parts, organs, bones, chemicals, poisons, wayward city candy, rotten or foul tasting food, voodoo dolls, tools, weapons, etc. presents are wrapped in construction paper, newspaper, or paper bag material. sometimes they're just thrown in a cardboard box, plastic bag, or slapped with a bow on top and dropped at the base of the tree. the gifts inside are just like what you may find in your stocking, except they are bigger items; larger organs, full skeletons, bombs, large tools such as saws or maces, broken toys, bags of blood, stolen crime evidence, spoiled meat, etc. there is no limit to what you may find in your present, and the more disgusting or horrifying it is, the better giver you are.

holiday activities are conducted inside. it does not snow in wayward city, so people are usually inside their homes. they could be doing a number of things; torturing someone, engaging in fetishes and/or orgies, self mutilation, unorthodox experimentation, unholy rituals, cult gatherings and/or mass suicides, or even something simple as watching a movie, listening to music, being with friends or loved ones, etc. it really depends on the person celebrating. people don't like going outside because murderers tend to be more active during the holidays.

characters from left to right: annatier, yeve and nyleve, arukas (koto is not there for some reason?), the jisatsu brothers, and iapmes. not sure what they have cooking in that there pot... and arukas seems to be eyeing iapmes with some interest. have you familiarized yourself with schizophrenic others' colors?

dr. rotkodd is not in this picture.... this is his busiest day of the year. also, the undead celebrate in the cemetery since they can't be killed twice.
