NATTENS-GIFTING AND RECEIVING MEME

[gobo_projection]

GIFT EXCHANGING MEME

SEASONS GREASONS!

It's that time of year again! Where the monsters have presents for other monsters, but the players are just a wee bit too busy with their own December Madness to have time for all of that. And so, a solution appears! The Gifting Meme!

How does it work? Simple!

• FIRST, make a comment for your character- it can be an empty header, or you can use it to make note of a general present for a whole bunch of people- like christmas cards!
• SECOND, comment to other headers with what your character is giving to fellow monsters! Maybe your guy's giving someone a nice warm fuzzy blanket...Or a set of bath bombs! Ooooo!
• THIRD, wait for other comments to come rolling into your own header! Everyone loves a giftmas surprise!

With that, Go Wild everyone! IT'S A SEASON!

REIRA AKABA

[gobo_projection]

Do you know Reira?

Chances are You got something! Unless otherwise stated, Reira's giving presents to even the most minor of CR that she's exchanged names with!

The gifts are little candy pouches, with either chocolates, or honey candy, gummies...so on so forth. She's very careful to make sure everything is safe for the recipient to eat, so don't worry about missing out!

Each little bag also comes with a lucky charm she made of string! Use it as an ornament! ...Or maybe just some kind of keychain.

Harry is gifting her a stack of coats, 3 fur and 1 a slightly more mild overcoat with some kind of luxurious silk design on the inside. All looted from the billionaire's mansion.

NOA KAIBA

[noasark]

If you're working at the Liewen Laboratories or its associated properties, Noa has a small Christmas Bonus for you!

...and a present. What, you thought he'd cheap out on the work bonus? PSH!

The present though, varies monster to monster- most will be receiving a mug of some kind with various sweets and hot chocolate mixes within. Those who can't have such delights- or even drink for that matter- get something else. The non-chocolate sorts just get different candies, or even hot cider mixes. The 'no drinks ever' gang however receive one of those neat novelty mugs that look like they're emptying when you tilt 'm. Don't feel left out...

...alright they also got some desk fidget toys, these are work packets he made by hand what'd you expect-

(Look closely in your mugs though monsters- there seem to be a handful of gift vouchers too. Wow!)

[tastefulheroism]

Yuuna's taking this approach too and she... probably made Reira a bookmark of pressed flowers. As well as a small charm of shells.

Edit: Because Yuuna would have picked this out special, I figured I should actually say what flowers are on the bookmark...which mainly are crocuses, with a background of bamboo. Why?

Because crocus is cheerfulness but bamboo is a symbol of steadfastness.

JONATHAN JOESTAR

[standless]

As usual, if you met Jonathan and got around to exchanging names, that means it's time for a present- this year he's really into weird woodsy crafts, like painted pinecones and whatnot.

To that end, you'll be getting a wonderfully prose filled holiday card with some odd images, and a wood bristle animal to go with it.

T...Thanks JoJo?

RACHEL "RAY" GARDNER

[sweartoyou]

(Bro I just got my real life shopping done last week for a small handful of people, I need some time to settle on Ray's list, sorry...)

[tastefulheroism]

Would you like some waterproof trinkets for your hoard? Maybe some to decorate your shell? Why not both. She wants to help her fellow young mer.

Donatello Hamato

[soft_shelled]

Due to events this month, Donnie will probably not see his gifts until January? Who knows.

Yuuna Yuuki

[tastefulheroism]

Have you spoken to Yuuna? You're probably getting a gift. If you think Yuuna would know your character through the grapevine? You're still getting something even if it's signed Santa Claus. (I'm not as active as I could be so feel free to assume that she got your character something if you'd like.)

Basically small things mostly, usually handmade. Shell necklaces, polished stone trinkets... pressed flower charms or bookmarks that probably fit your character somehow... that sort of thing.

Yuuna is a giver after all.

[stickersandstones]

Look, she wanted to give something to Jonathan that reminded him of Jolyne but she doesn't know how to knit or use any other strings.

So Jonathan's gonna get a candy cane and a prison shiv.

Ermes Costello

[stickersandstones]

Ermes has not planned for the holidays since she hasn't bought presents in forever. If you've ever interacted with her at least twice you're at least getting a candy cane though!

[stickersandstones]

She's got you some stuff for your car! Polish, wax, the works. She's even changed the tires for you pre-emptively.

Ermes also realised you're a child and she also should give you child gifts. She's gotten you some charms for laptop - Many are baseball themed!

Javert

[inseine]

Go egg Javert's house (caveat: his house is in Dyster, though his thralls live in 38-8).

He has loose plans for the holidays, and received a personal invitation from Hawkeye to attend a Christmas Nattensfest dinner at his home. He hasn't let on, but he's actually quite nervous about going, and will end up overthinking every element of his attendance, from the gift selection to his choice of stockings.

All contracted Monster employees with Javert will receive the holiday off alongside a Nattensfest yearly bonus, a stock small gift box from Lup's bakery (your choice of treat), and a gift card to Makima's LIGHTS, CAMERA, COFFEE! cinema and café.

There are a few other people on his list, which I will hit individually.

Tsukikage

[intercalaryninja]

Local ninja is sort of unhinged.

All his friends will get some thick blankets, quilted together with cute, local patterns and fabrics. If he's given you blankets before, you may get a crocheted stuffed animal of you instead!

Most people Tsukikage knows will a very strong, spider-silk samue shirts for all your daily needs. They are light and breezy and have the added bonus of being able to fit all sizes.

If he knows your character is into martial weapons, he will also give you a sword. He has made a concerning number of new swords.

Enrico Pucci

[heaven_sent]

tbh, if you drop by his church you'll probably get just a bag of some kind of chocolate/mint candy thing in a bag way too nice for giftbags.

I'll, uh, get to the secret santa thing (STILL, I KNOW) and gifts to his CR in a biiiiit? December has been rough, send help.

[intercalaryninja]

Ray will get the biggest crocheted slime of herself. It's stuffed with beads instead of fluff to double as both a pillow and a beanbag.

Robert E. O. Speedwagon

[speedweed]

lmfao, sorry dudes, but unless he knows you personally he's not really going out of his way this year. Which means I'll get to specific gifts at some point!!!! And if he gets things from people he didn't expect he'll scramble to get them something (probably late) in return.

He's a little busy dealing with his dipshit-ass boyfriend being a dipshit currently.

[soft_shelled]

Since Donnie bought gifts before... Everything, he got Ray a stuffed lion, it's hidden under his bed with his other gifts for everyone which he will tell her while in plushie jail.

[intercalaryninja]

Rude

He gets you on time and on the day a beautiful hat with a sawblade built into it (one he had to design from scratch based on a single description) and this is how you repay him?

It's fine he loves you but still.

[tequila_sunset]

there probably wasn’t much left of that billionaire's gross monsterified body to take as a trophy so Harry will be bringing Javert a really nice fancy watch he looted from his collection

[speedweed]

HE'S NOT THE ONE BEING WEIRD ABOUT THE PARASITES, SIR.

Making him more of a menace to literally everyone else on the Peninsula, that's some true love right there or something.

Niina Yamada

[northeworld]

Niina isn't really much of a gift giver but if you want to say you volunteered or helped Saint Flora's, you'll get something. If you know Niina? She'll get you something even if it's anonymous. A gift card, a small book, some monster edible food... that sort of thing.

She'll get some more personal and expensive gifts to CR, though.

Kirby

[gourmandofthestars]

Wow gosh I’ve been (almost) a ghost the past few months forgive me. A-anyway! This is Kirby’s very first Christmas and while he doesn’t totally get it, he’s certainly got the spirit. Giving gifts to friends is lots of fun!

If you’ve met him and he knows where to find you, you’ll probably get a gift! He’s just a little kid though so it’s probably something simple he made himself (like a drawing or an ornament from the community center craft session) or some food he thought you’d like. If you’d like to know specifics, hit me up here and I’ll give you all the deets! 👀👌

And of course, feel free to use this to tell me what your character might've gotten Kirby, too!


Edit: oh yeah and if he knows you but doesn't know where to find you, we can definitely, like, handwave him asking around until he finds out where you live/hang out or recruiting someone else to deliver it!

Harrier Du Bois

[tequila_sunset]

Harry’s gifts to his loved ones this year all fit a certain theme: he looted that shit from a certain billionaire’s home after teaming up to kill him with Maya and Aunamee.

His Secret Santa match this year was Beetlejuice, who will be receiving a bottle champagne purchased from Sparkling Cookie.
