His Right Hand Man - Lee Yut Lung and Sing Soo Ling

"For years, the Dragon Road was ruled by the Lee clan, descendants of the Qing Dynasty. Sing Soo-Ling was the right-hand man of Lee Yut-Lung, head of the Lee clan. He was raised in New York's Chinatown. Lee Yut-Lung recognized his talent back when he was the boss of a gang of street kids. Eventually, he was put in charge of all of New York's Chinese underworld. They pledged their loyalty to each other and Lee Yut-Lung entrusted Sing Soo-Ling with not only all of his wealth and influence, but the future of the entire Chinese underworld. Considering how much Chinese society values seniority and bloodlines, this was the rarest of rare occurrences." –Yasha, Chapter 46

Mafia and Mistletoe

A Cliché Christmas

Part 6.

Noble can’t put his finger on it but there’s something about this place that just… melts away the entire persona he’s built for himself. Well, it’s Jamie of course. But it’s not only Jamie. This whole place is disarming. He’s known for being tough, unrelenting, cutthroat in his professional circles but those qualities were impossible to maintain as he spent the afternoon helping Jamie’s nieces and nephews decorate cookies worthy of winning the annual decorating contest. As for the contest itself, it was yet another sickeningly adorable display of festive cheer that should’ve turned his stomach. But Christmas here isn’t like anything he’s experienced before.

He’s at Jamie’s house now, a modest, quiet colonial with dark grey siding and a candle glowing in each window. It was supposed to be a quick stop for Jamie to let out his dogs -- Jamie actually used the phrase potty break, god, why does Noble even like him? -- before taking Noble back to Erin’s. But now Jamie’s making eggnog in the kitchen as Noble settles back on the leather sectional in his living room.

“These are strong,” Jamie announces, handing Noble his glass.

“Just how I like it,” Noble replies. “God, my ears are still ringing from that damn gymnasium.”

Jamie chuckles knowingly. “I saw you smiling though, you enjoyed it.”

Noble takes a long, slow sip from his drink to hide the smirk that Jamie chases out of him. “Just saying. Would it hurt to move the contest to someplace with better acoustics?”

“You get used to it,” Jamie shrugs. “We hold a lot of community events there.”

“What, is there a fucking -- stocking sewing contest in there tomorrow?”

Jamie laughs and now Noble realizes it’s hopeless to try and hide his enjoyment. “I’ll suggest that to the Christmas Committee for next year,” Jamie jokes.

“Oh, god,” Noble mutters.

They’re quiet for a moment, Jamie’s rich green eyes meeting Noble’s in the shadowy glow of his Christmas tree. Jamie shifts to stretch one arm across the back of the sofa. “Noble--” he begins. “What is it that you have against Christmas?”

Surprised by the question, Noble coughs out an uncomfortable laugh. “What do you mean?”

“You have the shittiest attitude of anyone I’ve ever met,” Jamie says bluntly. “I’ve never seen somebody who’s so cynical about Christmas.”

“Wow. Tell me how you really feel, Chief.”

“Just calling it how I see it.”

Noble can’t argue with that -- it’s disconcerting to talk to someone who’s so direct, not hiding his thoughts behind mind games and strategy and bullshit. His mouth opens and closes a couple of times as he thinks of a response. “Well -- I -- just think it’s a huge waste of time to put life on hold for so long. A week off, two weeks right at the end of the year…? You can’t expect to get anywhere with that kind of work ethic.”

Jamie’s heavy gaze settles on Noble as one incredulous eyebrow inches up his forehead. “So it’s all about… work ethic.”

“I haven’t gotten to where I am by slacking off to eat turkey and sit on some fat man’s lap. I don’t need Christmas -- I can get myself whatever I want whenever I want it.”

Jamie’s amused scoff dissolves into a solemn look that borders on pity. “Is that what you think Christmas is about? Just getting presents?”

Noble shrugs. “Sure seems like it, yeah.”

“So why do you think people decorate… and have Christmas parades, and parties, and cookie decorating contests?”

“Honestly? Because they can’t think of anything better to do. Boredom and lack of ambition.”

“Boredom?” Jamie echoes. “Lack of ambition?”

“Yeah. I mean… no offense. But come on, is this town, this place… you’re happy here?”

“Extremely.”

“Even though there’s so much more out there. Even for a cop — you never wanted to go somewhere else, someplace where your job is more exciting than putting up cones in the elementary school parking lot for a cookie decorating contest?”

“I’ve seen what’s out there,” Jamie tells him. “And I decided it wasn’t for me. That’s why I came back to North Pole.”

A skeptical noise escapes Noble’s throat. “What have you seen? You strike me as the type to spend your whole life within 50 miles of where you were born.”

“Well that’s not true, and I saw plenty to realize I’m better off here than anywhere else,” Jamie says vaguely. “But that has nothing to do with why you’re such a Scrooge.”

“A Scrooge? Really?” Noble laughs. “I told you. I think it’s all a frivolous, pointless waste. That’s all there is to it.”

“I don’t think a fun little break from routine is a waste.”

“See, that’s the difference between you and me — I don’t find it fun.”

“Come on, where’s your sense of nostalgia? Those fun memories from when you were a kid, waiting up all night being as quiet as you can so your parents didn’t hear you waiting up for Santa Claus…no? Come on! Even you aren’t that heartless.”

“I guess Christmas was no big deal growing up,” Noble admits. “Well… maybe it was, I don’t know. My sister and I, we always got a shitload of presents. But we’d rip through all of them in ten minutes and like, eat candy all day while the nanny cleaned up the mess.”

“Where were your parents?” Jamie asks.

“Working. My dad, at least. My mom, I don’t know. She wasn’t around that much to start with and then she died in car accident when I was in middle school, so…” he trails off and waits hopefully for Jamie to fill the heavy silence, but Jamie just regards him with this piercing gaze that makes Noble feel like a fidgety little kid.

“So it was just like any other day,” Jamie offers after a moment.

“Yeah. Pretty much.”

“Well. That’s too bad,” Jamie says. “I’m sorry that you didn’t get the chance to get into the spirit of the holiday when you were younger, you know, spend time with family and friends. Some of my fondest memories through the years are of Christmastime.”

“My family’s not quite as picturesque as yours.”

Jamie shrugs. “Oh, under the surface you’d find we have plenty of our own shortfalls.”

“Yeah, like what? You forgot to get your nephew a birthday present?”

“Hey now,” Jamie murmurs, a warm humored shine in his eyes. “This is about you. And I’m glad you’re here to get a little taste of the season. Even if you think you hate it.”

“Think I hate it? Oh I hate every minute of it,” Noble chuckles.

“You’re clearly miserable,” Jamie agrees.

“I am! I am.” He can’t contain a smile as he drains the last of his eggnog. “But you know what, I’m trying to make the best of it.”

“Good for you, I’m glad to hear it.” Jamie reaches for Noble’s glass and gets up to head for the kitchen. “But let me just get you another one of those to help you out.”

↬ Col22 Annual Appreciation Awards: The Reception ↫

The decorations in the Colony’s Catch 22 are purposely less lush than the exuberance that was found in the auditorium for the ceremonies. Oh, there’s still a ton of holiday themed paraphernalia: wreaths and garlands, colourful twinkly lights and, yup, there’s that mistletoe again...  but there are no ostentatious draperies, and only one Christmas tree in the corner. Much more digestible.

The evening is designed to be a real celebration. Alright, let’s say it: a party. But after a long year of hard work and difficult change, this is something that even Alex sees as good for morale. The awards are the first part of it—acknowledgement for their commitment, for their rigorous training and for the progress they’ve made. And this... well, this is the second part. The part where people might laugh and dance and forget about the reality of things, if even for a little while. 

Because the truth is, this is the new reality. This isn’t the apocalypse anymore—it’s post-apocalypse. As much fear and horror and strain and loss still fill their world on a day to day basis, and as much as the fight is a long ways from over—this, here and now, is the new world, and they have to live in it. Because as soon as they forget the simpler, human joys of life, the easier it will be to lose motivation entirely. “Those who fight together, thrive together”: the Colony 22 Games motto since the day of its rise. But there has to be something worth fighting for. Something to inspire a reason to survive. 

Alex, despite his reclusive nature, despite his tendency to put work first and friendship second, knows that the only thing keeping these citizens alive now, with all the fear and oppression and prejudice clouding over their heads, is love. Pure and simple. God knows he’ll never say it out loud, but he knows it to be true, nonetheless. The friendships and loyalties built within these walls over the past five years have become a reason for people to push forward. A foundation on which to nurture their passion, ambition and drive. 

And so, despite the fact that Alex is still intending to make himself scarce within the hour, once the general public are a couple drinks and some pour soul’s taking the first stab at the Karaoke machine—he is pleased by what he finds when he first walks in. Pleased to see colony company slowly filing in—some of them having dressed down for the reception, others still sporting their refurbished prom dresses and ties. 

Even some of the NWRF shuffle in awkwardly looking in desperate need of a drink. Which, as far as Alex is concerned, is perfectly fair. Perhaps even they are doomed to have a good time tonight, as the night presses on and their glasses are refilled. And perhaps, Alex will even stay a little longer than planned. Perhaps. 

CHECK OUT FULL EVENT DETAILS AND SUMMARY UNDER THE READ MORE!

Good Evening and Happy New Year, everyone! Welcome to the Second Portion of the Colony’s 6th, non-games Event!

THIS POST OFFICIALLY TRIGGERS PART TWO OF THE AWARDS EVENT: THE RECEPTION AT CATCH22!

                       ↬ EVENT DETAILS & SUMMARY ↫

General Geography

Much like so many other physical spaces in the Colony, we’ve always left it specific enough to work with, but vague enough to leave you free to work your imaginations. However, since so many of us will be threading here all at once, we figured it might be a good idea to give you a sense of the space. 

So, the front of the Catch has a small covered patio attached—no tables or anything, just a wooden awning with pillars, two steps up from the ground—some people will smoke out here. 

When you walk in through the front double doors, the bar is forward and to the left side of the room. Directly centre of the room is most of the tables and chairs for the seating area. These are old wooden chairs and tables, kind of rustic. The WCs are past the bar, on the left, down a little alcove. In the back of the room, beyond the tables, there is a small stage that used to be used for bands/performances etc. It is rarely used as such anymore, and is currently more or less grouped in with the dance floor, which is just in front of the stage. Tonight, however, the stage may have a use or two... more on that later :) 

Also for the purposes of the evening, there will be a couple of long tables set up on the right side of the room (opposite side of the seating area from the bar) where all the food will be dropped off. This will be a help-yourself sort of set up, with casual finger-food people can pick at over the course of the evening. More on this below! 

Food and Drink

So, like with the Brink Reopening, there is finger food available, all of which is being prepared up in the kitchens from the main building. There are volunteers cooking and bringing food down in through the back of the Catch, but it is not catered in the same way as the “classy” Brink Reopening was. The food is casual, pub-style appies, and is not brought around on platters, but rather set up on tables with napkins and small plates (plastic ones! because there’s no Party Central stores in the apocalypse and they can’t afford paper plates, ya’ll, so put ‘em in the dirty dish bin at the end of the table, okay? Just as the heartfelt handwritten sign on the wall so politely and firmly requests!)  

Food assortment includes the following: 

Chicken and Veggie Sliders

Chicken Wings (Hot, BBQ and Salt&Pepper) 

House Cut French Fries 

Fish Tacos

Veggies & Dip

Chips and Salsa

Drinks will be served at the bar, (Xavier Crane is one of the usual bartenders for the evening, along with some other regular Catch staff. Mitch Douglas will also be seen back there some of the time, because he’s very much a hands-on kind of volunteer). All the usual drinks one might find on a regular night will be available, so not the same restrictions as at the Brink Opening, but drink tickets have again been handed out to citizens over the age of 18. These were passed out in little envelopes before leaving the ceremony (so anyone who decided to skip the ceremonies wouldn’t have gotten theirs!!) and the number of tickets is determined by security class again, which are as follows: 

Elites & Class 1: Three free tickets

Class 2: Two free tickets

Class 3: One free ticket

If citizens would like to purchase more drinks with their credits, they can obviously do so as per usual, but standard drink limits still apply, and free drinks count towards those limits. 

Music, Dancing & Entertainment

Unlike the Bonfire, no one is particularly DJing this event, but Tate Rothchild has volunteered to run the music, and she’ll be taking requests. The dance floor will be open most of the evening, but there will be Karaoke between 9pm and 10pm which Crane will be running (quite enthusiastically, we might add) at which point the bar will be run by other staff. 

After Karaoke, dancing and music will continue until close, at 0130. Last call for drinks will be at 1am. 

Maisie Pace will also be wandering around taking official photos for the evening, so citizens should keep an eye out for her if they want some taken with their friends in front of the Christmas tree! And remember: there’s mistletoe surreptitiously hung about the bar—will anyone be caught under it, I wonder? Perhaps Miss Pace will be quick enough to snap a shot of that too... she is an excellent fly on the wall, after all. 

Photos taken at the event will be made available on Echo in the following weeks. 

                   ↬ EVENT ROLEPLAYING GUIDELINES↫

The same guidelines apply as with all our events, and with ceremonies. Here is a summary/reminder!

As of now, you may NOT post any NEW threads that are not affiliated with the RECEPTION portion of the event. The new timeline of the RP is currently AFTER the ceremonies. So you have free reign of anything between the ceremonies ending and people milling about, or going back to their dorms to change, or heading down to the Catch, or anything throughout the night of the party at the Catch, until it closes. However, If your character does not attend the reception, they could be elsewhere in the colony at this time. Basically, you are free to RP your character anytime between 8pm (when the awards ended) and 2am, which would be just after the Catch closes. 

You MAY continue old threads you have going, both pre event, or from the ceremony. All we ask is that you start tagging non-event threads with #preevent so we know they are earlier in the timeline.  On going, ceremony threads do not need to be tagged this way, as they are still part of the event overall. 

All new event threads being posted must be TITLED and tagged as such, indicating that they are Event threads.  (In this case, key words like “Awards” or “Event” or “Reception” or even “After Party” is encouraged. How you go about this is up to you though! 

You MAY post photos of your character’s clothing/outfits, etc, if you wish. You are by no means obligated to do so. 

Please TAG your event starters with the regular starter tag (#col22starter), AS WELL AS #col22awards. 

The event will continue until the mods post an official closing notice. It will likely last about week, maybe more, depending on member activity. We want to give enough time for people to get a good start on threads and plotting, before wrapping it up. Obviously people will be able to continue on going threads after the event closes, but still, we’ll be keeping an eye on the dash and who’s had a chance to participate! We don’t want to have it going too long, but always endeavour to make sure everyone gets a chance to get involved!

Alright, I think that’s all I got for now folks! As always, come to us with any questions you might have! And we’d appreciate if you bring them to the main blog Ask so that we can share event related questions with everyone! 

Also, just so everyone knows, the tag the mod blog is using for this event is col22awards2—so you can track it if you want! But this is a mod only tag, so please just use col22awards for your own stuff! It’s just simpler, and that way the tag remains uncluttered for admin stuff in case anyone wants to track it! Thanks!

Very much looking forward to this portion of the event! Can’t wait to see what you guys bring to it and all the fun chaos on the dash! 

Okay, have fun ya’ll and Happy New Year!!

xxMod!Ro

AN AMERICAN CHRISTMAS

Christmas today and Christmas yesterday are as different as day and night.

The precursor of today’s Christmas is rooted in paganism. Paganism involving debauchery, drinking, rape, murder, and anti-Semitism. Paganism that  preceded the birth of Christ by centuries.

The early Christians did not celebrate Christmas. No one was even sure if December 25 was the day Jesus was born.

Roman pagans celebrated the earliest event. A week-long party. Ended on December 25. Where the forces of darkness prevailed. Sex, food and drink in abundance. Many murders, for the fun of it.

The Greeks enjoyed a holiday made famous in Lucian’s Saturnalia. More despicable. In addition to drinking, rape and sexual license, human sacrifice.

Saturnalia is the predecessor of Christmas.

The Catholic Church wanted to convert the pagans. Actually, the Catholic Church wanted to increase its numbers. The Church offered the pagans a deal. You join us and you can still celebrate all those Saturnalia things you are accustomed to doing. The pagans agreed and the Saturnalia Carnival came into being.

The Catholic Church participated in and permitted Jews to be ridiculed and suffer. Pope Paul II was head of the Catholic Church in 1466. Part of the celebration involved Jews being force-fed/overfed and then compelled to run along the streets of Rome. Difficult with a full belly. People pelted the Jews with rotten fruit, vegetables and stones. The Pope reportedly watched and laughed.

The Saturnalia Carnival continues through the 18th and 19th centuries. Relatively recent times. Jews continued to be persecuted. They were murdered, women raped, their property destroyed. Rabbis were made to don clownish attire and run the streets. While running, they were jeered and pelted.

Jews asked the Papacy to stop such activities. Pope Gregory XVI refused.

Many of today’s Christmas customs find their origins in the pagan celebrations.

The Christmas tree is one. Pagans for whatever reason worshiped trees in the forest. Eventually, the trees found their way into pagan homes and were decorated.

The mistletoe. Kiss me under the mistletoe. Druids used the mistletoe to poison human sacrificial victims. Norse mythology spoke of two Gods fighting over the female Wanna. The two synthesized to become reflective of the sexual lives of Saturnalia and the Druid’s sacrificial cult.

Christmas presents. In pre-Christian Rome, emperors compelled Rome’s most despised citizens to bring offerings and gifts during Saturnalia. With the advent of Christianity, the Catholic Church gave gift giving a Christian flavor by bringing St. Nicholas into the picture.

St. Nicholas initially was a combination of good and evil.

St. Nicholas himself was saintly. Of Turkish origin. Died in the mid 300s AD. In 1087 AD, his bones were moved from Turkey to Bari, Italy. He was interred in the burial-place of a traditional Italian woman who had been famous for bringing gifts to children on December 6. St. Nicholas assumed her gift giving qualities merely by burial in her place.

The Catholic Church pushed the pagans to adopt St. Nicholas. Such began gift giving in what finally became Christmas.

Santa Claus as he is visualized today in his bright red clothes and rosy cheeks can be attributed to Coca Cola. In 1931, Coke wanted a “Coke Drinking Santa.” Coke ordered its advertisers to give them such. The result is the Santa Claus of today.

Christmas today is the combination of Christian carnival, pagan gods and a modern-day commercial.

As to America itself, let’s see how the preceding played out.  Starting with the first settlers, the Puritans.

On this wonderful Christmas Day 2019, most of us will be sitting back happy with ourselves. In a joyous festive mood. Thankful for family and friends. Pleased by gifts and food.

And we might believe that Christmas in the United States has always been such. That Christmas as we know it always existed.

Shockingly, it did not!

We start with the Puritans. Those hearty immigrants from England to the shores of Massachusetts. Those who gave us Thanksgiving.

Christmas they did not give us. In fact, they took Christmas away from us. The earliest Scrooges of record!

From 1659 to 1681, Christmas was outlawed in Boston. By the Puritans. They believed that Christmas was not consistent with their Puritan ideas and religious reforms. So they abolished Christmas!

The Puritans were descendant from the Reformation. Certain Protestant groups opposed Christmas celebrations. They firmly believed the holiday was rooted in paganism. It was. Oliver Cromwell banned Christmas in England.

Christmas remained a no no through the American Revolution. The English influence in the colonies prevailed. Christmas could not gain a foothold.

A few years after the Revolution, the colonists, rid of English influence, started celebrating Christmas. But it was not Christmas as we know it.

The early 1800s found Christmas being celebrated in a bit of a rowdy fashion. Much like Mardi Gras and Fantasy Fest.

Then came a couple of books which influenced the situation.

The first was by Washington Irving. In 1809, he wrote The Sketchbook of Geoffrey Crayon. It portrayed Christmas as a peaceful loving holiday. Many attribute Irving’s novel as setting the mood for present day Christmas.

Irving actually created with words Christmas Day as we know and celebrate it. He mentally conceived his concept of Christmas and wrote it on paper. Christmas to that point had not been as he portrayed it.

About the same time, there was another writing. A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. This, too, captured the American imagination.

During the 1830s, several southern states legalized December 25 Christmas Day as a holiday. The first was Alabama in 1836.

The South continued to favor and celebrate Christmas up to the time of the Civil War. Whereas, the North basically paid little attention to the day. Christmas had become a Southern thing.

Now comes the Civil War. Lincoln wanted to demoralize the Confederate troops. He wanted to show that the South’s Santa Claus was on the side of the North. He authorized a famous artist late in 1862 to do a drawing of Santa Claus watching over Union troops. The picture was the front cover on January 3, 1863 of a prominent national magazine. It was sort of God is on our side thing. Some believe it achieved Lincoln’s desired effect.

President Ulysses S. Grant is given credit for making Christmas a national holiday. I question the accuracy of the representation. In 1870, Grant signed a bill into law regarding Christmas Day. The new law read that Christmas “…shall be a holiday within the District of Columbia.” The  District of Columbia is not the whole of the United States. However, Grant is usually given credit for making Christmas a national holiday by that act.

The last state to legalize Christmas as a legal holiday was Oklahoma in 1907.

I suspect that it was the combination of Grant’s signing regarding the District of Columbia and all of the states legalizing the holiday that finally made Christmas Day a national holiday.

Christmas Day received a further boost by the 1897 editorial in the Sun of New York. We all know it. “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.”

Christmas was practiced and recognized as a holiday through World War II. For whatever reason, it received its most gigantic step forward recognition and celebration wise following World War II. Everyone got into the act after the war! Maybe because people were happy and grateful to have won.

Such is the story of Christmas and especially America’s Christmas from its earliest times to today.

Merry Christmas!
