I'd like to try #9.

[Death by Mirrors]

Awen Moonshine has already decorated a lot of christmas trees in her life and now that experience pays off. The bauble looks great on its new spot and as the branches bend a bit under the added weight, they reveal 15 icicles.

MissLlamaness watched everyone place their ornaments with varying success and learns from other people's mistakes. So the ball ends up on the tree without any problem. When MissLlamaness returns to the box she discovers 5 icicles where the ornament had been.

Witchchylde treats the ornament like a raw egg, and that was probably a good idea. After all it would be a shame to break such a pretty thing. But now the ornament graces the tree with its present. The international association for bauble rights rewards Witchchylde with 10 icicles for her careful handling.

Merskelly Metalien now already knows how to defend a bauble against natural enemies. So when another carp perks its head out of the water, the fish decides against an attack. Who needs to eat ornaments anyway when there's underwater kelp pizza delivery. 10 icicles are delivered with the pizza, and since the carp doesn't know what to do with them, they now belong to Merskelly Metalien instead.

mdom feels herself naturally drawn towards the rainbow and thus treats the ornament with extra care. She even wraps it into a slip of protective paper, but once the ball hangs on the tree, the paper falls off. Mdom is just about to discard it, but then notices it's actually a raffle ticket.

Biomecha walks towards the tree when she stumbles over a pile of snow. Who the %$@! puts snow into their living room? Frightened Biomecha watches the ball fall from her hand. Another desaster? The ornament dashes against the tree. With sheer luck it gets stuck there. But the case of the mysterious snow still remains a mystery. Biomecha decides to investigate, and since every Sherlock needs a Watson at their side, she forms the evidence into Chad the Snowman.

That was close. Do we get therapy after all the anxiety of placing the ornaments?

[Death by Mirrors]

No, just a pretty tree to look at.

[Kaderin Triste]

*takes a bow after my nearly disastrous ornament hanging performance*
Now to attempt to hang up ornament 17!

[Espy]

-gingerly advances towards ornament #5 in an attempt to place it on the tree-

[Merskelly Metalien]

I think I'll place number 14 on the tree. <:d *tries to carefully hold the ornament*

[Witchchylde]

Five more hours until I can pick another... oh well, at least I can get some presents wrapped irl.

[Tiva]

*Takes number 24 out of her tangle of ribbons and bows* Dont ask where I have been hiding this one!

[Derpy McBlueEyes]

Derpy tugs gently at Death's tail fluff. "Can I hang a ornament too?"

[Death by Mirrors]

Yes Derpy, if Kaderin allows you to... but be careful not to break it. They're almost your size after all.

Kaderin: You learn from your previous attempt and this time place the bauble on the tree extra carefully. Still your hands tremble with anxiety, so a helper gives you 10 icicles to cool your tense muscles.

Espy: Oh no! Apparently Pengore has noticed CRT is in fact alive and not just some random machinery to ignore. They hired a teenage hacker for a DDOS attack on all systems. Thankfully nothing bad happens... well, to CRT, that is. The ornament wasn't so lucky.

Merskelly: You successfully use the short time span Pengore is distracted with the hacker's demands to be paid in bitcoin and gingerbread. The bauble hangs nicely on the tree and shakes down 5 icicles.

Tiva: Christmas security demands me to search you for any additional ornaments you've been hiding. I have an official written order to prove it... here! Oh, wait. That's just a raffle ticket.

[KittyBeary]

Yay, a dancing motion. 8D

Now I shall place ball #19 on the tree!

[say]

[tsukiko]

*carefully tries to place a #23 on the tree*

[mdom]

[Biomecha]

And 20 for me, please. *holds breathe*
