(OOC: In this post I'll include two parts, and the second one is entirely focused on Kenny - ultimately using the character control option, without even my character being in the story.
Secondly, I am also introducing two characters to the RP, who belongs to members of Kaelicious, that haven't shown any interest in this year's RP so far.
I know these actions might be against the sole purpose of roleplaying in some ways, but I think I did it pretty innocently, and hopefully you guys are alright with it, and if you are not, I can of course always remove this post.)

As I looked out over the camp's new permanent edge, I noticed an enormous black citadel in the Valley of Christmas, not far from the mountain's foot below. The look was devastating, and I knew hopes were dwindling inside all of us, just by looking at it. However, to compensate for the dark and depressing news, a sudden flying source of light appeared to be closing in on us from the distance. It was hard to see, especially with sunglasses on, but when it got closer I saw that it was a familiar man carried by huge glowing angelic wings. In one hand he held on to a sack of lumber, and in the other was the cutting axe. The approaching man was no other than Paillan himself. He landed upon the edge, obviously not scared of falling due to his wings.
"Are you guys okay? I saw the beam from the neighbor mountain, where I was gathering this wood for our fireplace" he dropped the sack, and welcomed me to the camp. Paillan was happy to find out we were all okay, but sad when he realized the tall Christmas tree was gone.
"You want me to go get a new tree for the HQ? I saw some pretty beautiful ones on that mountain!" the flying lumberjack revealed.
"We would appreciate that very much actually" Kari said, and continued "But perhaps some more wood would be better for now.. we might need the warmth more than anything to keep our Christmas Spirits alive!"
Paillan nodded, and was about to fly off, when I interrupted.
"No, wait! Paillan, you could do something much better for us, and for Christmas itself. Open up a portal to Destruction World... During our last visit a special someone was lost there, and he might might be the only one powerful enough to bring back Christmas."
"I see, I will!" Paillan replied, and stepped into the cave where he could start the time consuming portal summoning in peace.

Kenny ~ A skeletal boy's best friend
_____________________________________________________
Kenny tried the best he could to do what his father once told him; to be optimistic, no matter what. And so, he actually came to think of many good reasons to stay happy! He was happy that he actually had a body - if the Easter events had not played out like they did, he would have still just been a burning skull, and that wouldn't be very great in this scenario. He was also happy that he couldn't feel the temperature like living beings, for it was surely very cold in this valley. And lastly, he was happy that the black citadel that just rose from the ground, didn't capture him inside it. The most outer wall was several meters behind him, as he walked away from her. Who would know what unspeakable things she would do to poor Kenny, if he had been captured inside her bastion of evil?
The optimism didn't last long though, as life experiences had actually been a much more realistic mentor than his father - Kenny's thoughts soon again returned to the cold and harsh future that presumably lied before him.
However, suddenly a bark interrupted his thoughts, and as he turned his head towards the sound, he was more than just happy to see an old animal friend of his, running towards him.
Bisnar, the skeletal Felhound pet, that his family once owned, came running towards Kenny with its bony tail wagging happily from side to side, as it was reunited with an old friend. Bisnar jumped upon the skeletal boy, forcing him down in the snow, and licked him all over his skull, even though it had no tongue.
"Hehehahehihahihehe, stop it, Bisnar, hehehahihihihihi, seriously! Hihi, it tickles! Stop!" Kenny said, and finally the undead felhound pet stopped, and sat down attentively looking at him with its tail continuing to wag.
"Boy, am I glad to see you" he said, and padded the creature on its head. Apparently, Bisnar still carried the seat that originally carried David around long time ago, and those were great news to Kenny!
"Do you think you can find daddy?", Kenny sat up on the seat, "Let's go find daddy!"
Bisnar ran happily towards its goal, like never before, and so did Kenny!
