voidtreckerooc | Winter Faire Gifting!

HEY, YOU. DO YOU EXIST AS A BEING ON THE TRAIN?

Yes? Great, good news! the spider has a present for you! that's right, it's the train's second Merry Catfish, except this time she's just made everyone animal hats.

Does your character pick the animal? No. They take what the spider gives them.

Do you pick your character's hat animal? Yes.

Most of a-Qing's gifts come from two stall (mythical creatures cast in resin, glass sculptures) because she pickpocketed someone and had to make herself scarce from the market. Good job, kiddo! She's not gotten all of her close CR something because coin limits, rip.

Enna - a palm-sized sailship made of rosy pink glass. The model isn't a recognisable ship but she asked for a caravel and got something close. It sits on a circular stand with a very void-like pattern.
Jounouchi - a little likelike resin bird, about the size of a closed fist. Very round, looks ready to FIGHT. Does not look like a Pidgey at all.
Edge- a resin wolf or other lupine creature, pitch-black with three pale eyes and long, trailing whiskers. It's known as a powerful guardian spirit, she picked it for the description rather than the form.
Reno - a resin vulpine creature, luridly green with two tails. Obviously the closest she could find to Carbuncle. It's a creature that represents fertility and new life, which she admits she didn't know until after she bought it, since she just wanted the animal shape.
Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji - a matched set of mugs with WORLDS' GREATEST DAD on them. Incredibly kitschy.
Little One - the largest pot of honey she could fit into her backpack. Will be handed off in the luggage carriage for maximum secrecy.
Xiao Xingchen - a little landscape of flowing glass, featuring a central mountain wreathed in bubbly pale clouds.
Alice - a large resin rabbit, clearly the same species as the ones in the woodlands. Its eyes are clear and intelligent, and its head is tilted attentively.
Lan Sizhui - a photo album bound in pale green cloth. Two pages are already messily filled with photos of the winter faire, including one of Sizhui in the snowball fight.
Lan Xichen - a book of local winter songs, not using any known notation because she has no idea how to read music. At least one of the songs is available in the music carriage, so some reverse-engineering may be possible.
Yoite - she went back for the little animal statue, a deer with six legs and a furred crest. though she'll note that it actually means 'may you get what you want' rather than 'good luck'. She got this one free for bulk buying from the stall.
Willow - another of the angry bird statues that she got Jou. This one is in a pair, both poised as if about to fly.
Tsubomi - having run out of coins, she promises to buy her friend a random outfit from the train shop.

47 - a practical pair of gardening gloves, mildly ruined by the cheerful bees patterned all over them. "it's the best they had," she'll explain.

For everyone: Xingchen's gifts if he knows you, he'll try to get you a special tea and coffee blends at least? Coffee and Teas that has spicies and holiday flavors, or a basket of candies and chocolates. It's that, or a hat or gloves or a scarf, or a handmade totes bag or animal figurines or dolls. It's pretty random whatever he finds at the market, so handwave you got one from him at least.

Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji: A rabbit figurine that depicted as a family, reference: 1, 2

A-Qing: A white artic wolf doll and a bag of candies and chocolates

Xue Yang: He got candy and chocolates at least? And a black horse doll

For himself: Blankets, pillows, ferret plushies, and a ferret hat

I'm very forgetful, so if I miss anyone, please let me know! He may have something for you!

Edited 2020-12-30 17:10 (UTC)

For everyone: If you met him, spoke to him or helped him or Xie Lian, he'll use his insane celestial luck to get you a gift. It could be a batch of cookies or sweets, a toy, a doll, or tea. Whatever it is, it's a nice gift and if you don't have one, you do now!

Xie Lian: let's get real, he's gonna get wasted and spare no expense buying expensive gifts for his betrothed. At least blankets, outfits, and pillows for his cabin fit for his god. As for himself, absolutely nothing

I'm tired and forgetful, so if I miss anyone, please let me know! He may have something for you.

Gifts from Nita would be mainly for castmates (Dairine, S'reee) and close CR (Inigo: "a medallion with winged dance shoes on", Kitty, Xander; people including Roland, Tidus, Eva, Curufin, Glorfindel and Seto are likely as well, though she may not use the market in their cases >> Depends on how certain threads go).

She is also in the process of being talked into buying herself something; if this succeeds I'll edit this comment with a proper list on both counts. XD

I'm not great at figuring out what to gift people, so Sera's getting scarves for the following people:

-Her three current roommates (LO, MT, Koumyou)
-Conan
-Ran
-Willow (This doubles as a thank you for helping her after the last mission.)
-Yugi

GIFTS GIFTS GIFTS ! Emporio's new at this, and ultimately may have mostly treated himself, getting gifts for rather few people. He's bad at this.

That said-

Alice will be getting a 'tea-for-two' set, though it's decorated more appropriately to where he bought it. Novelty gifts and all.

LO is getting some sort of pelt, which probably came from something native to the area. There's a card that says he wanted to make sure the gift was unique to that place (it's very soft at least, and probably warm).

The Cabin gets two gifts! The first is a hanging star that scatters light through it. The second is technically for the rabbit.

Yuume is reaping the benefits of having been here for like, a few weeks, which means she got to treat herself mostly. That said-

Eva will receive a 500ml bottle of her favorite alcohol (excluding universe exclusives, given Train Store Limits); it's got a nice ribbon and everything.

Rei and Kumoko get a portion of mixed sweets, also wrapped tidily with ribbon.

Seto gets a rather nice scarf.

The Cabin receives a candle carousel, which came with the candle!

Jonouchi's sending a lot of 'IOU's to people right after the Faire, but it'll pretty quickly become clear why that is, when platform day comes.

That said.

Seto, Yugi, and Silvia, have all received similar 'IOU' notes, but where Seto's and Silvia's have the cryptic question of what their favorite animal is, Yugi's says to meet him at the Luggage Car on Platform Day. Hmmmm.

Additionally, all three have some sort of handmade charm. Silvia's is a simple tassle charm. Yugi and Seto both get matching bracelets, complete with wooden charms. All three seem to be made with wooloo yarn and cut up branch wood.

Danny gets a similar 'IOU' and charm treatment, except he's gone the extra mile and felted the wool out to make a star. (It's white, and has no little extra beads, but he DID dunk it in Kaseri's fairy dust to make it glitter?)

Eight receives a handmade tassel charm that looks suspiciously octo-ly. There's a note that says she can pick the colour, but be careful; he doesn't know how well her ink will wash out from the yarn if she changes her mind.

Eva, successfully avoiding the Handmade Charms Curse, receives a glassblown charm from the Faire- it's been handpainted with a design!

Enna gets another 'IOU', but this one asks if she likes shiny animals. She also gets a bracelet woven with his ponyta's glittery shed mane/tail hairs, which was subsequently dunked in fairy dust for Increased Shiny.

Edge, Kitty, Romeo, and Alfredo all get a portion of fudge that was split from a massive slab he managed to get. It's pretty heavy, so it's good that he cut it in four!

Madoka receives a stuffer version of those furred penguins, and the joy of finally getting the klefki Jou bought her literally weeks ago.

Lastly,

Technically speaking, the cabin now has a Music Box for everyone to share.

Mami, A-Qing, and Conan, much like Yugi, all receive a curious 'IOU' requesting they meet him on Platform Day. Conan's, notably, is locked up in a wooden puzzle box that was purchased at the market. The other two get little dangling yarn charms.

Those who have to meet Jou on Platform Day are getting pokemon! A-Qing is getting an Alolan Vulpix. Mami is getting a Shaymin. The other two are...well they're getting something under the 2 foot limit, but we're still working on what those will be.

Soo... Eight was a bit selfish and used her coins on herself. So for the next few days after the faire she's going to be in a small panic once she realize people are gifting their gains. And since people wouldn't fit in her-size outfits...

So she's going to be making paper roses! She's also going to follow color meanings.

Green Prinny gets a white one.
Romeo gets a white one.
Small one gets a white one.
Ichigo gets a peach one.
Ken gets a yellow one.
Wormmon gets a white one.
Rich gets a burgundy one.
Rapunzel gets a yellow one.
Raven gets a yellow one.
Edge gets a light pink one.
Axel gets a light pink one.
Eva gets a yellow one.
Junouchi gets a peach one.
Gen gets a pink one.
Senku gets an orange one.
Devero gets a light pink one.
Tidus gets a Tidus-hair yellow one.
Kaiba gets a peach one.
Della gets a light pink one.
Inigo gets a red one.
Roland gets a red one.

She also has a large collection of multi-colored ones for most everybody else!

Madoka: A plush narwhal with a pink horn. Because it's adorable and matches her hair.
Daia: An orange, blue, and white sweater. It might be slightly big on him, as Lea erred on the side of caution with regards to size.
Nita: A red sweater, which again may be a little bit big on her due to him erring on the side of caution size-wise.
Della: A nice, wide multicolored scarf, inspired by the colors he's heard that her boys wear.
Tidus: Gets a set of simple and durable leather wrist cuffs, good for sword fighting and probably also for certain sports.
Demyx: Gets a sturdy leather belt holster for his gummi phone (ignore the name on the example image; actual gift one is blank).
Xion: She gets a nice red scarf from the faire, but also, a little later back on the train, Lea will surprise her with some ice cream mochi full of sea salt ice cream that he made to surprise her and show that she doesn't have to spend all her points on ice cream any more, since they can now make their own. He even attempted to make the mochi look like seashells, but that part only sort of worked.

Surprise! Reno got gifts for certain characters. If I don't get around to demanding a thread from you, here's what he got to later shove into your arms or arranged to place on your bed secretly. All gifts are in little gift bags with winter themes except for Roland's and Taiki's because reasons. See below.

Kumoko: a gag gift of a bag of reindeer farts that's actually cotton candy.
A-Qing: a dumb winter faire trinket and a sweater that says "i was [here]" and whatever that place was called. but also lastly he gives her a simple but well balanced wooden dagger clearly not gotten at the faire.
Glorfindel: something flower and sun patterned. quite possibly an apron.
Curufin: a children's book about an elf adventure that's clearly based off some forsaken winter holiday instead of real (Tolkien-like) elves. look, he thought it was funny.
Taiki: a cute animal eared beanie hat with a matching set of paw patterned mittens. this one screams for a thread for various reasons.
Inigo: got a pair of earrings that Reno surprised him with while actually at the faire.
Tidus: a necklace with a tribal-inspired pendant of some sort. probably left in secret or shoved into his hands at random time.
Della: a gag gift of a useless box to see if it'll make her laugh, and then he'll hand over a real puzzle box with some smaller puzzles inside.
Roland: this one is definitely getting left in secret. (does he have a usual desk/area in the library? if so, there. if not, left on his bed) it's a winter themed mug that has the text "~~worst~~ best dad" on it with the worst crossed out in red 'marker'. not going to admit to it unless he gets caught putting it in place; thread pending if so?? preferably placed out in the frequented library area without a bag. possibly with (not poisoned) coffee in it.

Look, someone found the gag gift section of the faire and couldn't leave without purchasing some things, okay. Sue him.

Gifts and purchases as follows, names are in bold as are the items:

➤ Cloud Necklace: A beautiful glass necklace given to Lan Sizhui. (appearance)
➤ Chocolates: Assorted chocolates in a pretty bag, given to Lan Sizhui
➤ Leather Bracelet: A simple, but lovely leather bracelet with metal feathers hanging from it. (Appearance.) Given to Xander
➤ Nine-tailed Fox necklace: A beautiful metal nine-tailed fox necklace, reminding her of Nona to aid Eva with homesickness.(Appearance.) Given to Eva
➤ Fox necklace: A cute, charming fox necklace that Willow saw A-Qing hovering over.(Appearance.) Given to A-Qing
➤ Moon necklace: A crescent moon necklace with a blue gem hanging in the middle, reminding Willow of Lythrana and of home. (Appearance.)
➤ Furred bracers: A pair of bracers to complete her blue outfit. (Appearance.)
➤ Red fur-trimmed dress: A warm, cute winter dress that caught Willow's eye and was much more appropriate for the festivities and any formal occasion. (Appearance.)
➤ Scarf: A warm, red scarf with subtle fire patterns on it. Given to Edge.
➤ Perch: A simple perch for Nova to use at night. (Appearance.)

Waiting to hear back on a couple of items, but the intention is:

Glorfindel had more people than he had money, so some of this he made himself. Hopefully it measures up.

Xander: A glass and wood perch for Cottonball
Alfredo: A pair of fingerless gloves made out of an old blue polo shirt.

Curufin: A necklace
And a black t-shirt, made by the Spider, with a kitchen sponge on the front, with an expression of DOOM on it, and the words, "Kitchen Sponge of Doom" written around it in a pleasing style.

Najaran: A short chiton (Greek/ Roman style dress) with cape, in purple, with an orange border (made by the Spider). Also has a matching cap for Goligan.

Spider: Her weight in pastries. Yes, he's been planning this one a while.
Cassie L: A delicate glass bug.

Lan Wangi: A light blue scarf

Trunk & Cassie C: A set of privacy curtains (in purple) for a Quiet Cabin window, complete with a bamboo pole and hand carved finials in some cool elven design.

Roland: Some decorative hair fasteners, a clipboard made of bamboo, and a bottle of the same conditioner Glorfindel made for his own use.
Nita: Knee pads to wear when drawing runes on pavement.
Reno: A wall mounted hanger carved from bamboo, so he can hang up his baton and goggles at night, if he wants to.
Madoka: Arrows, with pink feathers
Persephone: Hand lettered signs for the Greenhouse. They include all the things she is growing, but also include, "Okay to Eat" and "Please Don't Eat" so she has the choice to share or not, especially if growing for a specific project.

Eva: A lovely umbrella, purchased at the Winter Faire. (It has cute wildlife on it, and is the perfect size to put up quickly if a certain pink waterlogged associate starts to shake their fur dry.)
Rapunzel: Hand-made brushes made of bamboo handles and suspiciously golden bristles, with her name carved into the handles.
Sonya: A set of bamboo knitting needles that have her name carved into the sides.
Mami: A personalized set of measuring cups and spoons, hand carved from bamboo. Her name is on the handles.
Alice: A glass rabbit
