A Very Grinchy Christmas

vkandis-son.livejournal.comChristmas is coming, and with it The Grinch. Doctor Seuss', not Jim Carey's. The poor fool is coming to Fandom to try his tricks.
Late night Christmas Eve, he'll sneak through the houses and dorm rooms of Fandom, stealing presents and decorations (though not trees, just because of the logistical difficulties of getting them back to their homes), and hole up in Efferton manor with all his Christmas loot.
Christmas morning, eager to hear the sounds of crying and wailing and gnashing of teeth, he finds something rather different. No, not singing, but rather the sounds of guns being cocked and knives being sharpened -- it is Fandom after all, and its denizens are pissed!
In all his nasty glee he'll be a careless Grinch, leaving detritus to be tracked - tinsel, or balls, or bits of wreath, so those who have been hit can track him to the manor. Once there, they can confront him, weapons bristling and/or wits at the ready. The poor Grinch really will be quite overwhelmed and will eventually flee, possibly after some really truly terrible rhyming, leaving the Fandomites with the happy warm glow of achievement.
How it will work: Anyone who wants to participate will need to put up a Christmas Eve post for their house/dorm/other place of residence for The Grinch to ping into and steal all the Christmas stuff. In this post, there'll need to be some indication of what's there to be stolen - don't need itemised lists or anything, but some idea would be great.
The next morning, a post will go up at Efferton manor for people to retrieve their Christmas things. Your character can threaten, talk at, annoy, intimidate, whatever The Grinch into giving back what he's stolen. Poor Grinch has never dealt with any place like Fandom. He might end up quite traumatised.
Once everything has been reclaimed he will fleeeeee like a fleeing thing.
What do we need from you? Pie. And ponies. No, seriously, we just want to get an idea of how many people might be interested in being Grinched. You can, of course, still play even if you don't sign up here - this is just to get an idea of numbers.
Questions? Ask 'em and we'll answer! Comments? Leave 'em and we'll read 'em! Pies will be eaten nom nom nom.
