CHRISTMAS PRESENTS. Because it is likely I won't be around to give them ICly.
Albert leaves no notes on his presents. Except one.
Abel -- okay, okay. So somewhere Abel goes to regularly where Vatican people won't accidentally stumble on the present. There is a puzzle box, kind of like
this! Only the segments are all hollow little compartments. There is a different kind of chocolate in each one.
If he takes the whole thing apart, though, there's a hollow space in the middle which contains a flat, heavy tissue-wrapped ornament. Like
this, but more roughly made, of slightly tarnished silver. It is actually a protective amulet from the Grasslands--one of those equippable accessory doodads--and it is one of the few things he had with him when he arrived. :X The note reads I thought of you, and is unsigned.
Radu gets a bottle of wine--the best Albert can get hold of.
Mukuro ... a wooden chess set, one of those handy ones where the board folds into a box for the pieces! Palm-sized for all your travel needs.
Wakaba receives pretty hair ribbons. :3
Esther gets a tiny, coloured-crystal figurine of a kingfisher in flight.
Shahrazad gets the same thing as Esther, but a standing blue heron.
Seth also gets a figurine--this one plain crystal. A squirrel.
Shigure gets one of those little plushies that unzip at the bottom and fold inside out into a different form! In this case it's wolf to sheep/vice-versa.
Seth also doesn't leave notes unless specified.
Shigure ...
8D! If only she knew how apt this actually was.
Abel receives
this, with a tag reading 'SCANDALOUS!' in block capitals.
Albert gets one of
these, with a tiny grey doll's scarf wrapped around its neck.
Radu GETS A
CACTUS KITTY.Esther GETS ... something like
this! Only it's been made by hand and it is actually a 'THAT'S NOT MY PRIEST' book. In the interests of good taste, none of the textured bits you're supposed to touch are on the priests' pants.
Asta gets a pair of black leather gloves -- plain, but sturdy and very well-made.
Ciel gets a small tin of unusual tea blend, very different from last year's. It comes with a box of tiny cakes, not heavily decorated but delicious. The note: 'I'm sure I can't compare, but I tried my best! Merry Christmas. ♥'
Cain ... an intricate handmade butterfly, about three inches high. Gold-toned wire, with pieces and beads of green glass patterning the wings.
Shahrazad gets a simple bracelet of copper wire, something like
this, but decorated with blue and turquoise glass beads. Also handmade.
Tinypope gets a plushie of a baaaby harp seal. It is perfectly harmless and non-heretical, so hopefully he'll be able to keep it. :( There is no club included.
Petros receives
a primer of good advice for daily life.Canada gets two cute knitted matching woolly hats with pompoms on them! One is for the bear.
Honlon will be very irritated if she has to give other people presents on her second birthday ever. |< IF SHE LIKES YOU SHE MAY LICK YOU. Or take you flying or something. But she doesn't really know much about gift-giving!
Antubis ... nobody wants a present from the anteater.
Angel DOESN'T BELIEVE IN CHRISTMAS. She will be bemused if she gets presents from anybody.
Mithos doesn't know what Christmas is, so nothing there either. Maybe next year? Although if anyone he sort of likes gives him something and then explains things to him, he will go all stammery and embarrassed and then give you something small and thoughtful the next day that he ... probably made himself.
Nyanko-sensei tries to invade your modest alcohol stash for Christmas. Yes, yours.
I HAVE PROBABLY FORGOTTEN PEOPLE BAAAW. C-C-COMMENT IF I MISSED YOU AND YOU ARE GOOD FRIENDS WITH ONE OF MINE. I WILL TELL YOU YOUR PRESENT(S).
