Operation Turtledove

"Partridge, this is Turtledove. The Fat Man has the packages, I repeat, the Fat Man has the packages. Over."

"Er... Sasha..."

"Turtledove."

"Turtledove. Why exactly are we using code names?"

"In case our messages are intercepted by elven intelligence."

"On that note, why are we using walkie-talkies? We're in the same room."

"Mirror, if you don't want to help me catch Santa you can just go buy me more presents. But I've done a stakeout of the fireplace every Christmas since I was eight, and the walkie-talkies are essential. No fat elf is breaking into my house."

"You know, you could just brick up the fireplace..."

"And eliminate my favorite holiday tradition? Way to show that Christmas spirit, Scrooge."

"Sasha. You're attempting to kill Santa."

"But I'm doing so with joy in my heart. Hand me the machine gun munitions. That freakin' elf will rue the day he didn't bring me a pony."

~MissOCPageant holiday round! Sasha is celebrating her favorite Christmas tradition, Santa hunting! She does this every year and she's never so much as seen the guy, but that hasn't stopped her from building a massive homemade machine gun that can decimate a sleigh from fifty feet away. (Sasha doesn't really believe in Santa with any kind of conviction; it's just a fun tradition for her.)

I loved this round so much. Sasha's dress was lots of fun to design, with a dove motif to go along with the Twelve Days of Christmas. She's got a penchant for the gaudy, so it's great to be able to dress her in really ridiculous things.
