This holiday season, I inflicted "A Very Special Exalted Christmas Special" on my Exalted players, putting them on a lessons-filled romp through as many cheesy Holiday Specials as I could fit into a single afternoon.
Among their stops was The Great Dumping Grounds, a place in the Wyld where Bloody Claws would toss the trash his trade caravans accumulated. Being in the Wyld, the trash eventually started moving about and having opinions, and gave rise to The Discarded.
There was no Charley-In-A-Box, but there were these three critters, who the party adopted (though Hobblefoot had a tendency of getting kicked through windows when no one was looking) and took with them on the rest of their adventures
Exalted is a very very very strange game, sometimes.
Featured are-
Flutterby: Formed out of a child's kite, an old morality play mask, tattered wings, and a frayed cats tail, Flutterby is a cheerful exuberant creature given to sacrificing itself heroically before getting resurrected through the Power of Friendship.
Hobblefoot: Half of a child's stuffed dog sewn onto a foot-stool with a broken leg, Hobblefoot is an adorably pathetic creature who can act as a small but loyal pack animal if you want it to. It also just wants your love, which can lead some cynical-minded individuals to kick it through windows after it tries to hug their leg for the fifth time that day.
The Tik-Tok Bear: A stuffed bear's head on-top of a body formed from a dozen broken clockwork devices, The Tik-Tok Bear was the leader of The Discarded before it was adopted by the party. Now that it's existence-long goal of giving its people a purpose (manual labor for Bloody Claws, yay!) is fulfilled, it's content to travel along with them and be a walking violation of all known laws of physics.

In the dream, I was at some kind of fair or carnival, and it was raining. I ran into Unrepentant (I know it was him even though I didn't get a good look at him), and he told me where I could find you. You were serving food from one of those fair booths. After your work was over, we got together under this open-sided tent and talked and cuddled a bit. Then toward the end, you turned into a real fox and sat in my lap. Then a big, scary lady came to take you home, and you became a child and went along with her.
I dunno what it means.....XD

Tomorrow, I should have the Fay Lord Bloody Claws and his reindeer hobgoblins inked and scanned. The Wyld is a lot of fun. In small doses. Outside of the Holiday Special, the party usually avoids the Wyld save for when they're activating Reality Engines or otherwise demolishing them. They've spent more time in the Underworld, I think. Something about it being safer.
But his clockwork doesn't work. Well, it does, but only because he lives in a place where the laws of physics and enginneering where bitched out years ago and left face down in a ditch. Not sure how the party's going to keep him alive once they return to places where effects are expected to have causes.
I had this big ol' write up back when about how someone used the Eye of Autocathon to Awaken all the mortals, leading to Creation breaking into several billion 'realities', the Wyld flooding in, the Weaver gaining sentience and fighting back, and all the rest. It went on for some time.
Hmm, typical diamond kite instead of a box kite. Mask resembled more of a creepy wooden pinocchio-type face, with large eyes and a smile that some might find cute, but I find very very disturbing. More the type of thing most folks would want to avoid, or swat.
Yours seems much much more friendly.
