It's the season of GIFTS GIFTS GIFTS

[indigo_league]

With Christmas scooting ever closer, it's time to start thinking about the real reason for the season and that is gifts. Yes, yes, joy to all, peace on earth etc etc, but deep down what we all want to do is tear some wrapping paper off boxes and be dazzled by the contents.

In order to keep things a bit organised, we'll be putting this up as a central gift-giving post, and it will feature three things.

★★ Arceus' gift As many of you long term players might already know, Arceus tends to drop a few gifts on the people he has brought here on Christmas day. And this year is no different! These gifts will be revealed on December the 25th, so please check back then to see what your character will be receiving. And yes, these gifts will go out to all. Arceus doesn't judge. Maybe he should, but he doesn't. ★★ Secret Santa Though these gifts won't officially be delivered until the 25th, this post will also feature a thread where you can post up the gifts your character has gotten their Secret Santa recipient. Feel free to start posting these up as soon as this post goes up (we are not going to make you wait) ★★ Your gifts And finally, your gifts! If your character is the kind to get their friends a bunch of things, feel free to use this post to distribute the offerings. Much easier than hitting up a bunch of inboxes! If you would rather distribute your characters' gifts individually in various inboxes, feel free to do so! This post is merely an option for people who'd like to keep things in one central location.

Now with that all out of the way, let us take a moment to wish you all a very Merry Christmas (or, at the very least, a nicely adequate Thursday if you don't celebrate). 2020 has been Quite the year, and I don't think any of us could've predicted it turning out this way. (Turns out none of us had 20-20 vision). But we've made it through and while the times are still somewhat uncertain and unforeseen, we nevertheless hope it will all be looking up from here on out for all of us.

We want to thank you all for being such lovely players and for having contributed to the game as you did! Thank you for ruining baseball, for coming to Sinnoh with us, for Prom being Prom yet again, for submitting so many badge requests and for slipping in every app that you did.

And onwards to 2021, another year for pokemon shenanigans and nonsense!

Oh we love the goshdang holidays in this house, it's present time

Dirk gets to open his at Jane's house, whether he visits on the eve or day:
- A belated birthday present (wrapped seperately and kept away from the tree, because birthdays are different from Christmas) containing a t-shirt that says "My friend went to the Indigo Plateau and all I got was this T-Shirt" and a pair of tabi socks...striped much like a Beedril. Yes, those are Beedril tabi.
- For Christmas specifically, there is a box of candied orange ginger cookies that she hopes he likes, and in a seperate box, a jacket with a card to the maker's PokeEtsy shop for vintage clothes, if he wants to indulge himself some more later.

Dave, if Dirk drags him along, will receive some apple oatmeal cookies and an excellent t-shirt that she hopes he will appreciate even if he's a grown-ass man. She also includes a note saying, I know where some good thrift shops are if you need to pick up some warmer clothes! :B because these Texas boys and winter, man.

Dimitri and his entire traveling group will receive a large, large box, probably delivered by Pidgeot because a Pidgey carrying this would be incredibly cruel. Inside are tins of cookies. So many cookies. Like...holy fuck, more cookies?!? Included is a note that reads, I wasn't sure what your group particularly liked to eat, so I just decided to include lots of different things. Let me know if there's any problems! - Jane Crocker and there is at least one type of cookie that everyone will like. Or, in Felix "I don't like sweets" Fraldarius's case, maybe won't hate?

Lust gets two parcels:
- One Wedding Gift (wrapped appropriately) of a set of four colored crystal glasses. These are very carefully packed.
- One Christmas Gift of pistachio cookies (enough to share with all of Shark House) and a palatte of glitter eyeshadow.

Kazuki asked for cookies, so Jane is sending him a special batch of mint sandwich cookies as well as some new kitchen utensils, because you can never have enough.

Her Secret Santa recipient is Romelle! Presents can be found by clicking the link. :3

And if you are acquainted with Jane at all, you're definitely getting a tin of two dozen cookies. <3
