Last Year we showcased ‘Ode to Advent’ in honor of ‘7 Characters in 7 Weeks’<\/p>\n

Yeah well then it exploded into McFassi Fortnight.<\/p>\n

So to celebrate this Christmas Eve, we wanted to re-post ‘Ode to Advant’.<\/p>\n

And now for a fun challenge for everyone.<\/p>\n

The first person who can name ‘the original Seven’ with added Eighth (from the poem) and then rest of the bastards! Old and Young. \u00a0We will send you an original Sylum Vault Greeting Card. \u00a0(make sure to reply \u00a0to this post only with your answers)<\/p>\n

Ode to Advent<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n

‘Twas the night before Advent, when all through the Manor
\nNot a writer was stirring, for nothing else mattered.
\nThe bunnies were lying out snoozing away,
\nIn hopes that their work was now done for the day.<\/p>\n

The Vampires were nestled all snug in their beds,
\nWhile visions of naked Mates danced in their heads.
\nEvil Bob did the rounds on his victory lap,
\nWhile I settled down for my pre-Advent nap.<\/p>\n

When out of the blue, there arose such a clatter,
\nI sprang from the couch to see what was the matter.
\nAway to the office I flew like a flash,
\nTore open the door with a hell of a crash.<\/p>\n

Bob 2 sat there smirking, all chuckling with glee,
\nHe’s a fine sneaky bastard, that Evil Bunny,
\nFor he’s been on a roll now, these past several weeks,
\nAdding new characters, giving them tweaks.<\/p>\n

At first there were six, but it soon became seven,
\nEnough now!\u00a0 I cried, with my eyes rolled to Heaven.
\nBut lo!\u00a0 On that night before Advent was go,
\nThere were eight\u00a0<\/em>shiny Fassbenders all in a row.<\/p>\n

“Now, Craterus!\u00a0 Now, Quintus! \u00a0Now, Aguilar and Callum!
\nOn, Erik\u00a0 !\u00a0On, Harry!\u00a0 On, David and Brandon!
\nTo the Wiki!”\u00a0 Bob 2 did the rally then call,
\n“To the plots!\u00a0 To the plots!\u00a0 To the plots away all!”<\/p>\n

But the Greek and the Roman both sighed and sat down,
\nWhile the Cop stood there glaring and tried not to frown.
\nThe Assassins made certain their blades were affixed,
\nAs the Mutant made office pens dance and do tricks.<\/p>\n

The Synthetic Lifeform hid something from sight,
\nAnd the Newbie just smiled, stepping into the light.
\nThey are many and varied, this dangerous bunch,
\nBut then here at Sylum, you should have a hunch,<\/p>\n

That while eight men are settling in well and fine,
\nWe soon could be dealing with dude number nine!
\nBob spoke not a word when he saw us all there,
\nJust lit a cigar and jumped up on his chair.<\/p>\n

So there’s plenty of work that is still left to do,
\nAnd the one who is known here as Evil Bob 2,
\nWill be keeping us busy, which just isn’t right.
\nMerry plotting to all!\u00a0 And to all a goodnight!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
