SSSSS! 😃The truth is... I ran outta room XDI wasn't sure which category to put this under n_n' So don't kill me...Let's get this straight: ONLY PEOPLE TAKING PART IN SMILIES'S SECRET SANTA '11 CAN SUBMIT ANSWERS TO THE RIDDLES, GAIN POINTS OR WIN THE PRIZE n_n'Everyone else is free to read 😸SUBSCRIBE!!! NOW!!!!!Points as they stand:@Luna21 12@Delfin99 11@Lizardfeather 10@Qwaszx 19@Silver_Winged 15@Crescentfeather 7@Leopardclaws 9@Luv 8THE STORY BEGINS:After stumbling down the path lined with super-sized candycane lampposts for hours, wrapped up against the cold until you are nearly wider than you are tall, you approach the huge old wooden building, noticing with a smile that it leans slightly to the left.Strangely enough, unlike last time you were here, no little elves with their funny hats run out to greet you. Curious, you bang the Roo door knocker three times, and no one answers. "Hello? Is anyone home?" You call.The door is locked, so you decide they are out and go to say hello to the Roo in the stables, which is never locked.As you make your way around, you notice a dark silhouette outside a window of the workshop.You take a few cautious steps towards the shadow, but it seems whoever it was noticed you prescence, and they darted away. It looked kind of like a Flaren, you think, shrugging.Oh well, you decide to go ahead and see the Roo.

Pinging:@crescentfeather@taffy789@Avelaingia@Balletninja@randomkitty17"Well, the truth is...." Santana looks around her nervously and pulls you close. "That a few days ago, we got broken in to.""OMG!" You exclaim. "Why would anyone do such a thing??? What did they take?""That's the thing." She looked at the ground. "It wouldn't be so bad if we knew what they took, because then we could easily replace it. But here's the thing: Nothing's missing."59 minutes later, your stomach satisfyingly filled with sweet treats, mostly composed of sugary frosting, you make your way back to the site where you saw the shadow. Santana was so busy with the upcoming Christmas, you feel compelled to get to the bottom of this mystery."Hey!" A voice calls out your name and you turn.It was Santana's younger brother, Santiago. Unable to help yourself, you blush slightly and wave. "Hi," you say shyly when he catches up to you."Santana wants me to help you investigate this.... Thing," he says.You start, and he smiles. "She knew you would, you're too nice."You look at your shoes and mutter something about being an evil maniac, and he looks at you weirdly."So where do we start?"Remembering why you came here, you kneel down on the snow and brush the recently fallen aside. You are rewarded by a few tufts of shed fur."Flaren," Santiago blinks in surprise."You don't have Flaren here, do you?" You ask."No...... We don't," he confirms. He looks annoyed about something.

Pinging:@redfire77@icymuffin@Zac@muppet@orange"So, we could like, go through lists of every user with a Flaren," you suggest brightly.Santiago rolls his eyes. "You kidding? That would take YEARS."You sighed in disappointment."Then let's start looking through the workshop: where did they break into?"Santiago was about to reply when the sound of glass shattering resounded loudly in the air.You exchange identical glances and rush to the scene.Santiago stops in his tracks three meters from the smashed window and looks down at the ground, shaking his head. You don't have time to chat as you run up to the glass and peer through the frame.The place was a mess. The desk was overturned, chairs were on their sides, papers and books were scattered everywhere, some badly torn, and a Gideh with feathers sticking up in odd angles was hiding at the top of the tallest bookshelf.You quickly strip off several layers which threatened to hinder your mobility and despite Santiago's warning exclamation you climb easily through the window, avoiding the broken shards of glass, to leap lightly down onto the floor.

Pinging:@Yogurt@Leopardclaws@Celeste@Mysticmagic@TumblrSantiago joins you and looks around with despair in his eyes. "They took the lists." He sounds tired.."The lists?" You ask."Of all the children who are good, who are bad, and... The Secret Santa documents.""So if we don't find them, we won't be able to give anyone the right gifts?"Santiago nods miserably.?"Don't worry," you say with forced cheerfulness. "I'll find your thief before Christmas."?Santiago watches her go, hesitating. He almost makes up his mind to call after her but she was already gone. He sighs and slumps down into a chair, running a hand threw his hair. "Oh, god," he mutters.PUZZLE ANSWERS:These users are the suspects, followed by the names they will use in this plot.@Avelaingia ~ CELESTE (NOT @Celeste. @Avelaingia. )@Balletninja ~ MEGAN@Redfire77 ~ RED@Randomkitty17 ~ DOMINIQUE (Dom for short)@Icymuffin ~ ICE@Zac ~ ZAC@Taffy789 ~ KELLY

Pinging:@Pirateseaz@Schwartz@Whitefall@Luv@Pudgyjr1998"Here are our suspects," Santana declares dramatically, showing you the line with a sweeping gesture.You giggle slightly and look them up and down. One of them has Spookcats clinging to her icy blue hair and is muttering to herself while eying weirdly the cupcakes on a small platter. "Who are they?" You whisper to your friend."Randoms who were in the area. That one over there," she points at a boy who would look pretty normal if not for the huge Gobbler sitting on his head. "He's the crazy chicken guy who lives next door on Wednesdays.""Only Wednesdays?" You wonder."Do you mind? I'm on a tight schedule here," Megan flicks her ponytail arrogantly and then taps her watch with a meaningful look."Eh, you can go for now," Santana laughed and shooes her out the door. Megan's Tine, Melani, drifts out behind her, looking wistful, and seemingly by accident brushes her irresistible tail against someone's male mo, Pha...? You note that not everyone is as innocent as they seem."But?come back later, okay?" Santana calls after her."Uhhh yeah, what did you want me for?" Kelly approaches, while struggling to hold down something pink and fuzzy and... Oh dear.Lucen the Luvlei breaks free and whizzes round the room, throwing ornate teacups at the guests who scream and run, shielding their heads with their hands. Looking around, you vaguely notice the cupcakes had disappeared.

@Rileytibbles@Dreamer@Hai@Spenser_dog_123@Maineen"Oh my," Santana smiles tiredly and watches. "Whatever shall we do?"You shrug and duck as a plate flies over your head and smashes into the wall."BEWARE OF THE CABBAGE CHIPMUNKS! FLYING SAUCER ALEEEEEERT!!! COTTON CANDY WILL RULE ALL!" Lucen screeched.Until he was hit head-on by a blast of a fire extinguisher. Santiago sends a weird glance your way then slinks back out of the room.Did a fire extinguisher just happen to be handy or what? You wonder."So sorry about that!" Kelly laughs maniacally. "I tried to lock him in the freezer back home, but he must have got out somehow."You and Santana exchange disbelieving glances."Well, thanks a lot." Santana literally shoves her out of the room. "Your room's number 12, okay?""What was up with your brother?" You ask her when she returns.?"That was some crazy move with the fire extinguisher.""Fire extinguisher? Really? Huh, they've been going missing all over the place," she sighed, looking half-dead. "The tester-elves have been going nuts with demands for more, the last fire had to be put out using a hat..." She lost her train of thought. The stress was definitely getting to her.

Pinging:@Kitty19cat@Catherineprettty@Piokitten@Trish@Nkiay"Hey," a guest pulls you aside. "May I have a private word?" She smirks."U-uh, sure," you hope she's not the type to lock people in closets and forget about them, because that's your first impression. Her straight brown hair hangs loosely over her shoulder, and she brushes her side-fringe out of her gray eyes, which watch you intently."So... About this incident..." She starts."Yeah?" You say."Look Hun, I wouldn't put too much stock in what Santana says. You know his busy she is, and well... She doesn't notice what's happening right under her nose," she taps hers."Like what?" You frown.She sighs, impatient with your slowness. "Sometimes... Accidents happen, okay? Let's just leave it at that."You raise an eyebrow. "So what, someone burnt the lists by accident?" You say sarcastically.She blinks. "The lists?""Santana's lists are gone," you state."OH," she stares, then makes to leave. "Well then, if you see my Chiye, Pyro, please tell me!" She runs off, leaving you just standing there.You didn't even get her name.

Pinging:@Jaidyn@Pizza5Pizza5"Hehehe... They'll never see this coming!" A sinister laugh comes from behind a door as you pass it in the corridor.?Shivering with fear of discovering another Kelly-like-Crazy still lurking, you inch towards the door and listen in through the keyhole."Nash! What did I tell you about the workshop?" The exasperated tone of... Santiago! issued forth."Eek!" A squeal and then a kerfuffle follows."What. Did. I. Tell. You, you despicable little furball," Santiago snarls through gritted teeth."Out of bounds! The workshop is out of bounds!" The 'furball' choked."So get out!" He hisses and a scampering noise tells you that 'Nash' has left."He's impossible! -What- I am going to do with him.... I don't know."You take a step backwards. What is going on?!? You think.Then the floor -creeeeaaaks-...The door is thrust open and you and Santiago stare wordlessly at each other.

@Maineen Yah 😊Just then, by some kind of miracle, you are saved by a guest sticking their head out from another room.Santiago flinches then stalks away, back into the room. You turn to your saviour. "Thank you!" You gasp.Megan raises an eyebrow and saunters over. "Dunno what his problem is..." She glances into the room after him with a slight frown."Wait... How come you're still here?" You ask. "Didn't you leave a few minutes ago?" You notice her Tine, Melani, inside the room behind her, flirting with a completely indifferent Chiye (Pyro).Megan flashes a smile. "Oh, I went out the door all right. But anyway, do you know where that girl Santana who dragged me over here... Where her office is?" She asks."Oh... Sure," you blink. "Three doors down on your left, then the door at the very end. But why...?""Cha!" She skips off down the corridor. As you turn away, out of the corner of your eye, you see her slip a hand into a back pocket then stop, letting out a hushed exclamation. You wonder if she lost something.

SNAP! Santiago blinks as a camera is flashed in his face."Say cheese!" A long, blond haired girl with pink and blue highlights winks at him. A foxy face peeps out of her fur coat. A Flaren.He recovers mobility and shakes his head in bewilderment."Smart move, if you ask me it always makes people look stupid in photos," she giggles, pulling a pen out from behind her ear and putting it to paper. "OHHHH! I KNOW this is gonna hit headlines!" She looks thrilled. "Now spell your name out slowly, or else I'll misspell it," she threatens."Err... S. A. N. T. I. A. G. O... Who are you?""Hmmm," she gives him a measuring look and writes his name down as Santango. "I'm Dominique," she flashes a smile."And you're a reporter...?" He blinks again."That's right! Cookies," she sprinkles a few actual mini cookies on him."So, Sentangio, what's your opinion on the situation?" She asks, putting on a deep voice."Uhh..." He stares. What did she call me?"No comment huh? So who do ya think did it?" She leans in close. "I won't tell on ya..."He facepalms. "You-""Me???" She blinks. "Verrrrry smart. Don't trust anyone," she scribbles furiously."-are IRRITATING," he mutters, then stalks out of the room."... Mmm," Dom twirls her hair around a finger distractedly.Her Flaren, Pasta, snatches the pen out of her hand and starts gnawing on it.PUZZLE TIME"An abandoned dark wolf will tell you why his owner couldn't be guilty."MAIL the name of the user and their alibi to me or Santa 😸
