[Throughout his time in the dreamscape, Eustace will be a festive reindeer with the horns a bit more real than he'd like.]
⊗ i-a: gift retrieval + bonuses
[He was already willing to help retrieve the stolen presents, but when he saw they would be using dog sleds? Although his expression didn't outwardly change, there might have been a bit more snowy sparkles around him as he approached the "loading" station.
a. Greeting the dogs. Before setting off, Eustace will take the time to acquaint himself with the group of dogs he would be working with, quietly but eagerly petting them and ruffling their floofy necks. He's never actually used a dog sled before, so it would be a learning experience, but at least the dogs seem to know what they're doing. Maybe he can work on his dreamotion abilities to learn to communicate with them...! So some may find him staring intently at the group of dogs sitting around him a strange heavy silence before he finally speaks.]
...You like carrot bones?
[The dogs howl in dismay as Eustace sighs.]
This is harder than I thought...
[At least they seem to understand him?? A little??? Or maybe that's just because this is a dream...
b. Collecting gifts feat. Mimics. Once in the forest, the dogs help sniff out a few presents and soon they get a decent pile on the sled. However, every so often he'll encounter one of those mimics and once again he has to contend with the dream version of Flamek behaving oddly. In this case, shooting explosive confetti and electric stars. But he'll also try to focus and try something new, such as conjuring large shards of ice to drop onto the mimic.
And if he hears someone dealing with a mimic themselves, he'll come in to assist, firing an explosive star shot to keep it at bay.]
They're not too difficult to handle, just don't let it near the presents.
[c. BONUS: Present delivery. Eventually he'll return to town and start delivering presents, but it will surely be a hit or miss situation. But how they like the gift is not something he can control and he's just more focused on getting the presents delivered to where they belong.
The other bonus: special present option can be done as well for any who are interested!]
⊗ i-b: fixing decorations + bonus christmas star
[When not collecting presents, Eustace will try to help put up a few decorations. Currently he's mainly working to get the lights working again, channeling electricity and creating a few sparks to insert into lamps. His calm, steadfast nature also helps in reinforcing fragile items once repaired.]
Here, I've fixed these star lights so they shouldn't go out again. Where should they go?
[As for the Christmas Star, he'll be more than happy to take the dog sleds out again to gather the rainbow crystals. Otherwise, he'll try to help light it up. However, it is a large star, so...]
Careful, I don't want to accidentally shock you so don't stand too close.
⊗ ii-a: elf rescue
[With toys and games left behind in Whoville, Eustace enters mission mode as he quickly infiltrates the toy factory. Rather than deal with the machines directly, he'll be carefully sneaking past and focus on getting the elves out, guiding any through windows and blown open entrances. However, there are occasions when he has to switch to combat, shooting through aggressive toys and even gingerbread if they made it this far.
When not taking on a more active role, Eustace will find a higher perch and snipe down targets, either focusing on toys or completely destroying malfunctioning machines. Although fixing them would be better, time is of the essence and some machines are clearly beyond repair, so he will only target those that would need to be replaced or a high threat. Otherwise, he'll try and cover those who are trying to fix things.]
⊗ ii-b: reindeer games
[Although a bit begrudgingly, as he's found himself with the antlers, it only seems right that he continue to play the role of "reindeer" and try this whole transformation thing out. With a darker than average coat and grayish white antlers and mane, he's a bit uncoordinated at first, the weight of the antlers on his head as well as now on four legs making him look more like a newborn fawn than an adult stag. So if he accidentally bumps into anyone—]
—Sorry. Still...getting used to this.
[Although his apology is genuine, it's also a bit of a grumbling mutter because of how awkward this. Also why do his damn antlers itch?? He felt it occasionally before, but now it's worse. So son't mind him if he goes to find a tree and rub his antlers against them because this is very aggravating.
However, once he's gotten used to things, he'll be trying his hand, er hoof, at everything: racing, sleigh pulling, and even dealing with the robot reindeer.]
