This part of Urbania has many different competing styles of skyscrapers and many near-future technologies find their home here, including domestic robots such as MMS' shinki. This time of year, there's a lot of shoppers in Techno Urbania's district of malls, and a lot of noise. <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kari and her 'sister' Harriet are dressed in festive Santa-themed coats and hats designed for their tiny frames, ringing tiny little bells as they collect toys for children. Naturally they've set up their booth near a large toy store.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kari is the smaller of the pair, being only six inches tall. The red and white of her hat and coat clashes with the deep blue of the 'jumpsuit' underneath. She's cheerfully ringing the little bell and exhorting people to donate toys for unfortunate children.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Her sister, Harriet, is twice as tall as Kari. In addition to the hat and coat, she's wearing fake elf ears that clash with her deep tan skin and platinum-colored hair. She seems less enthusiastic than Kari is, merely ringing the bell and looking a bit bored unless somebody is putting a toy in the bin.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:930|Alden (930)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Alden is not so much a shopper, as a random, somewhat lost person that was trying to explore more of what the multiverse had to offer, and after making sure he might be able to return to where he was staying, he figured he'd venture out!. So far it had been impressive, he never visited such a city! the gears and other details catch his attention, and he makes sure to check the people with santa suits, and even donated what little money he had on him. He eventually does find the two rather small people on santa coats and hats, and moves to check on them, idly wondering if they were some sort of toys, or even creatures like himself. He tries waving at them a few times.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:276|Kari Wolf (276)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"HI~!" Kari says cheerfully to Alden, peering down from their shelf-like stand. "Merry Christmas to you, little... boy? Girl?" Kari starts looking confused, not sure what to make of the odd little lizard. "Um, sorry! I'm not trying to be rude!" she adds sheepishly. <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Harriet glances over as she accepts a bundle of gift cards from a pleasant looking older couple, thanking them for their donation. And people donate things like die-cast cars or 12 inch dolls, keeping the bigger shinki occupied.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:930|Alden (930)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Alden smiles when one of the small... creatures? talks to him, smiling and waving again, "Hi!" he chirps happily, moving closer and chuckling, "No offense, you can call me Alden." he says softly, looking at the pair curiously, and the gifts being donated, "Wish I had something to donate." he mumbles. He only seems to have a belt with a deckbox, and a weird handheld device clipped on it. "Maybe I can get something later." he says.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:276|Kari Wolf (276)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kari looks thoughtfully at Alden. "Maybe you could help us get more donations? We have a pair of reindeer antlers for a big person that looks like it'd fit you! We're supposed to be playing Santa's elves, so a reindeer would be pretty cool! Oh..." She thinks for a moment...<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"You get along with kids, right?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:930|Alden (930)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Alden tilts his head a bit to look at Kari, moving even closer for a few moments, "Reinder? will that work with me?" he asks softly, before he looks around at the other people, "Well, I like to think I do, but I don't have much experience with kids, sure i can try." he says with a smile.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:276|Kari Wolf (276)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Totally! Kids will love a lizardy reindeer they can hug! Alden the wolf-skinned reindeer! It sounds like a TV holiday movie already!" She's fairly confident this will work. <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kari ohs. "My name is Kari!" She beams brightly at Alden and points towards her sister. "That's my sister Harriet! Nice to meet you, Alden!"<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Harriet is currently unable to greet Alden, as she has been knocked over into the bin by a deluge of donations.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There's a beat before Kari realizes that Harriet isn't responding, and glances around for her sister. "Harriet?"<br />"Mmmph!" comes from the bin, which has something moving under the packaged toys.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:930|Alden (930)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Alden moves to reach and help poor Harriet!, an advantage of being larger!. He makes sure to place her back on the shelf if he can reach her, "Are you ok?" he asks, smiling at the idea of the lizardy reindeer, "I'm sold, give me the antlers." he tells Kari, his tail twitching in a lazy wag.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:276|Kari Wolf (276)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She was buried under a bag of girl's fashion dolls, but was easy enough for Alden to help out from under the plastic toys. Harriet shudders and says quietly as she puts her hat back on. "Their dead eyes... judging me." Must have been slightly creepy for her, since the dolls were about her size. She bows politely to Alden. "Thank you Alden. I'm Harriet, a custom-model shinki like Kari. We're basically small domestic robots."<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And a small mechanical-looking rabbit shoots out of the pile of donations and lands expertly next to Harriet, wearing a pair antlers in front of its 'ears', with a small round red ball stuck to its nose. It settles next to Harriet, ears moving this way and that.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kari whews as everything turns out okay. She retrieves the antlers and hands them down to Alden. "They adjust too!"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:930|Alden (930)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Alden grins and shakes his head towards Harriet, "Dont' mention it, I am sure you would help me if the same happened to me." he says, before squeaking in a rather... non dignified manner when the bunny appears, stumblingback before once again reaching for the offered antlers, carefully settling them, now he has three horns!. "Like this?" he asks.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:276|Kari Wolf (276)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kari grins at Alden. "Perfect! But... something's missing." She looks like she's thinking hard for a moment.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Harriet carts a large ringing bell over to Alden. "He needs a bell to ring, Kari." she says, trying to pass the musical instrument to Alden.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:930|Alden (930)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Alden grins and adjusts it a bit so it is comfortable and tries to find a mirror to look at himself, before he notices the large bell, grasping it and ringing it a few times, "There we go, all set!"<br> <br>
