I like the idea of the mix up, a rain of crying suzies could be great
fun. Forcing them to confront the mad shoppers is another cool idea. Hmmmm
. . . I do want to give them a chance to make a decent haul though -
after all, the runners may very well have kids they want the toys for!

That is what I had in mind! I'm just not sure how to work it so the
runners can't (or won't) just walk away from the whole situation when
things start to get uncomfortable (or geek the whole family!)
Any ideas on easter? I've been considering a free spirit who is
manifesting as a giant bunny, but have no clue what to do with the egg
hunt. . . . Maybe it has the wealth power and is hiding genuine golden
eggs all over the city. That could cause a lot of amusing chaos . . . Now,
how do we get the runners involved . . .
