Xmas Gifts from the Baron, Elric, Jherek, and Shoggies
Gifts from Baron Vladimir Harkonnen-
To Valentine Wolfe- A beautifully refurbished antique apothecary cabinet, already loaded with a variety of drugs and poisons, along with reservations at a 5-star resort in Rio for the duration of Carnival.
To Elric of Melniboné- The now-traditional new cloak- this year's is of high-quality silk in a non-offensive shade of turquoise, selected by Ariane Emory II, and enchanted for self-cleaning and protection from the elements.
To Ariane Emory II- A gift certificate for a high-end wizarding boutique on Diagon Alley, and a beautiful leatherbound journal with gilt pages + matching pen set.
Gifts from Elric of Melnibone-
To Ariane Emory II- To judge from their aesthetic presentation and overall lack of former creature parts, it appeared that Elric had actually ventured into Hogsmeade to obtain her holiday gifts, which had been wrapped by some kindly shop owner. These presents were a small knife in a sheath of genuine blue dragon-skin, a box of wizarding chocolates concocted to look like delicate, living insects, and a a few pairs of socks- one with dragons, another with swords, and the third pair with a happy-looking squid.
Gifts from Jherek Carnelian-
To Rarity- For Rarity, Jherek transfigured an entire room of the school into reflective, jewel-walled splendor. One wall was of deep sapphires, another of amethyst, another of emeralds, and the fourth of pale blue topaz. The floor was of crystalline quartz, shot through with shimmering metallic inclusions. At the center of this room, Rarity will find a small package containing four perfectly matched 'bracelets', plainly designed to fit a pony comfortably. Each is adorned with jeweled flowers, which begin as buds in the morning, bloom throughout the day, and shrink back to buds at night.
To Ariane Emory II- A school of jeweled fish, which seem quite content to swim through the air, or wherever they happen to be- on delivery, these are enclosed within a shimmering orb of latticed silver strands, which will shrink and morph upon opening into a complex silver tiara, studded with crystals resembling droplets of water. On release, the fish will remain in a school, and obey a couple of simple commands- namely, follow and stay.
To Jem- Jem will recieve a pink ermine scarf, of the sort that includes the ermine's head. That it was never actually alive is evident, given that it is somehow rather cuter than a natural ermine, is very much alive now- although quite flat, the scarf is still able to move, and if worn will have a habit of nuzzling the wearer from time to time. Jem will also recieve a shimmering pink bottle, filled with swirling pink glitter dust- if opened, the glitter will rise from the bottle to surround the opener in a totally outrageous whirlwhind of pink sparkles, and will return to the vessel with a simple magical command.
Gifts from the Shoggies-
To the Entire School - Everyone in the school will receive an aluminum foil Santa-hat, with a glittered styrofoam eyeball in place of the traditional pouf ball.
