Summary:

They each have their own.

---

Eliot paid attention to the veteran holidays. He didn't much care for the complex behind it now, having seen all the ways it was abused, but most of those vets had died believing in an impossible dream worth protecting.

Parker, of course, was all about Santa and Christmas. She got to make up for the shitty holidays she'd seen as a kid.

But Hardison? Hardison went all out for Halloween. Decorations, costumes, and enough candy to kill a dentist was his philosophy. No one who showed up left empty handed, not even the parents. He needed them to be happy.

oooh let's see what I've wandered over recently in this wondrous world of ours:

Doll's Eyes - I have never seen it in the wild, but I have recognized its use in some creepy movies where the plants seemingly watch people. Honestly, I was glad I stumbled over it in reading things before I ever had a chance to see it in the wild. It's nice and spooky.

The Black Bat Flower is less creepy to me, and more o.O at how it developed. Plants that mimic animal shapes fascinate me. (There's a carrion plant that resembles a sea-star / star fish, for instance).

Bleeding Heart - the first "creepy" flower I ever read about, I think. I think they look fascinating, actually.

and critters:

Dragon Headed Caterpillar - it evolves, as all catties do, but the larval stage is just so CUTE to me.

Flying Snakes - My uncle's worst nightmare, given his deep-seated phobia once led him to sink the boat he was in due to a snake flopping into it with him. I love the idea of these guys just LAUNCHING themselves through the air.

Fossa - the jokes about cats running on dog software (hyena) and dogs running on cat software (foxes), have NOTHING on this critter that is a mongoose-type running on cat software. Very predator, very fierce.

Markhor - but it's just a goat, right? CHECK OUT THOSE HORNS! I had to give my tiefling OC those horns because they are TOO COOL.

Tufted Deer - cute name, right? When's the last time you saw a deer with FANGS?! Seriously, I saw these and started trying to figure out WHY they evolved those.

I hope you enjoyed these!

After the Zygons, Jack has a conundrum

---

Escaping the latest Zygon impersonation had been hard enough, Jack decided, but now he had a conundrum.

It looked at him with its tail sticking up like the antenna of a bumper car and meowed at him with the most pitiful squeak ever.

"I saved you this time. What if you're a Zygon in disguise? Hmm? Or just if you wander into my life all the time, you're going to get hurt, or worse!" Jack admonished.

Another squeaky meow, and Jack tucked the kitten in his coat pocket again, adding a stop at the local shop to his must do.
