presents:
so annie is basically only getting gifts for people who care about christmas, which, well, she's asked like. three people. one said they didn't, the other two are below. are you some of her cr who really cares about christmas? let me know so that we can get the asking figured out! or else this is actually her christmas gift list:

uzu sanageyama
jayden zharkov

we have a christmas tree that's enough of a gift:

nonah #001 (aracely, reiner, kaine)

birthday present:

will graham (he's also getting a cake) (reiner and aracely please help)

actual plans:

absolutely none, she'll probably do pleasure reading at home and stare at their christmas tree with the lights out (it's pretty). exactly the same level of activity as she had over thanksgiving, except no extra homework done, since she finished her winter holiday assignments before then. yes!!! new years will be more of the same, though if there are fireworks in town, she's going to be more on edge all night.

i'm just going to make this a list of people kanaya would get gifts for to start with

the trouble of playing someone who gets a lot of people presents

...lol so. Though he has some vague awareness of Christmas now (a fat man breaks into your house to leave presents and somehow deer and possibly a baby god are involved or something?), he has zero plans to do anything.

But hey if someone wants to invite him over for dinner he'll. Idk. Find some way to repay you I guess. >_>

Oh yeah and if no one invites him he'll probably end up hanging out in the woods and practicing his not-quite-invisibility. Spooky.

rose (a ring and bangle, an unhappy new year)
karkat (clay sculpture of a giant piece of poop with massive cultural significance)
ruka (clothes, with some light consulting from karkat)

placeholderin for Derek's paltry Christmas list stay tuned

Gonna copy King to put my list in another comment because OH BOY HE HAS A LONG LIST OF PEOPLE HE WANTS TO BUY PRESENTS FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE so if you see your character on the list maybe... comment here and help a girl out. I'm as bad at fictional presents as I am at real presents.

ACTUAL PLANS probably involve celebrating with Brenda by sitting around and eating or attending anything else anyone would hypothetically invite him to.

if anyone asks/hints loudly they'll get a free shirt courtesy hook, line, & tinker

of course it'll be in their particular size but that's it. that's the design they'll get.

Brenda (BOOKS. WHAT A NERD.)
Ellie (relatively cheap camera & a verbal offer to go flying if she ever wants some really good shots)
Kaidan (a cookbook for simple food (geared towards, but not explicitly for, college students), a jumbo bag of kettle corn & some coffee beans (he likes coffee right??? HE'S AN ADULT THEY LIKE COFFEE))
Bart (tba basically whatever he seems into when he's hauling him to experience the magic of christmas)
Wally (ehhhhhhhhhhhh tba)
Shinjiro (Some kind of cooking utensil that he was told japanese households would usually have and would be missing. May or may not be more fun than it is useful.)
Akihiko (a rocky poster and a TOTALLY NOT PIRATED (totally pirated) digital copy of the soundtrack)
Jayden (probably also just one of those big bags of kettle corn (it was two for one))
Gon (TBA)
Killua (cheap mp3 player)
Jojo (A shitty sharknado figurine that looks like he got it at value village for two dollars (he did). Taped to the bottom is the actually nice present of a Netflix gift card for a couple months of free tv.)
Ted (A book (MoM-verse!) and safety goggle aviators (sorry booster))
Booster (A bathrobe. It is, in fact, quite soft, but it's also a really gaudy yellow... but also the same approximate colour as his costume. Oops.)
Laurie (a paperback of the ~in~ thing for teenage girls. He asked the lady at the store, and it's only a little trashy... but definitely trashy.)
Armin (some kind of book; either a nature one or one by this world's version of carl sagan, paperback)
Kotetsu (Socks and a mug.))

I HAVE IDEAS and basically this could go between insanely trolly and hilariously thoughtful but i'll try to flesh this out the best i can.

aracely will be getting kaine one of those sausage boxes with cheese and mustard and a little knife to cut the sausage. annie and reiner will be getting flannels. I'LL DECIDE ON ROBBIE BECAUSE pppshhhhh

everything's still up in the air for loki. kate will be getting a cello for birthday/xmas. where did yule go tho.

Jonathan is such a considerate perfect loser that I actually had to make an entire post dedicate to the presents he's getting everyone. If you've ever threaded with him at all you should check it out because odds are your character's on there. And if they're not and you think they should be it's probably because I missed you in the tags PLEASE LET ME KNOW THIS HAS BECOME SOMETHING OF A QUEST FOR ME NOW

Outside of this storm of goodwill, though, Jonathan's holiday plans are actually pretty low key. Unless someone else pulls him into something, he's just going to chill at home after going around to personally wish his family happy holidays. He's got a Santa hat and a little tree for his room since he's not sure about his roommates' stance on decorations, it should be pretty relaxing.

And then later in the evening he's going to go down to help at a homeless shelter because Victorians were big on holiday charity and Jonathan basically exists to do that every day of the year anyway. The Santa hat will probably still be on.

aracely

kaine—sausage box with cheese and a sausage knife probably bought with kaine's money
annie—a flannel, cushy socks and probably panties (sorry annie)
reiner—a flannel and cushy socks
robbie—...a flannel and cushy socks!???
spider-man/peter—flannels and cushy socks also some cookies

loki

billy—that compilation of the nerdiest book series that you can think of, special edition. also mustache wax and the spell to turn people into frogs. THERE'S ??? ON THE FROM TAG.
kate—cello
america—an overkill of patriotic flag clothing
lydia—SOME INSANE IN THE MEMBRANE SPA PACKAGE and a fancy enchanted notebook that looks blank to everyone but her. also probably some lingerie. but who's that really a gift to.
gil—a really nice set of knives and an a goth apron
SIGH valeria—too much candy, i mean a lot of candy. also a sorcerous notebook that looks blank to everyone but her, can't be too secretive.
skye—a nice sweater and some crazy cool computer hardware that i dont know about
stiles—mustache wax and a bad star tours sweater
kara—hákarl (smelly, smelly) & a bottle of brennivín
derek, mitchell, dorian, hook—bowties, mustache wax and a bottle of 9 yr bourbon
rose—a pear tree
spider-man—9 yr old bourbon and mustache wax

Presents
People who got him a birthday present will definitely receive something for Christmas!

So far the definite list for that is Annie, Kotetsu, and Yuri. But I think Kay and Sasha were talking like they were going to give him something too, in which case Barnaby would like to reciprocate through a Christmas present. It would be good to get confirmation for that, though!

(And if anyone wants to retcon a birthday present from October, that's fine too btw.)

Plans
Christmas is kind of an awful time of year for him, so he won't be in a very festive mood, and will be perfectly content spending it by himself and/or with Kotetsu. Might be more inclined to let himself get dragged to parties and events that aren't on the 24th or 25th, though.

Rather than outright asking like a normal person, Barnaby is basically a creeper who decides what to get people based off of his observations. His guesses are usually quite good, sometimes unnervingly so.

For that reason, I would appreciate ideas of what your character might like to receive ♥

Kotetsu - spare wires for his watch, and possibly a nice bottle of whiskey

Annie -

Yuri -

Kay (?)

Sasha (?)

gonna make some lists

GONNA MAKE A LIST a little slowly since I'm backed up on tags and in general from work, so stay tuned!!

His plans as of now are just spending time with Alluka, his little sister. What a nerd. He'll try to make something and fail, probably.

Emma

ok umm
elsa -
kristoff ?? perhaps -
hook for sure -
stray children holiday toy drive probably maybe

Lydia

stiles -
derek -
loki -
skye -
kate bishop -
kara -
wally -
im probably forgetting people

Natasha

she might get steve a nice bottle of wine
don't expect too much ok

all my dudes in one plotting post because I'm hella lazy and two of them are assholes who wouldn't give people that many things & the last is new. THOUGH, I HAVE PROBABLY FORGOTTEN SOME PEOPLE so there will likely be editing later

Freddie
Dr. Dinosaur: gets an uncooked steak, with a bow on it, tossed in the general vicinity of his room.
Jayden: the closest equivalent to the fancy apple shampoo she has, except way more manly. also, a small thing of aftershave.
Saul: a tie that Freddie thinks looks AWESOME but most sane people thinks looks ugly (so Saul probably thinks it looks awesome)
Giorno: a snazzy pair of sunglasses that cost less than they look
Kaidan: a nice cologne that, if he checks the brand, is actually kind of expensive. not like, hella high end, but not Fred's level cologne.
Chilton: a nice bottle of cologne that...is the exact same make as Kaidan's. WHOOPS.
Abigail: a really pretty necklace. c:
Will: Small Business Management For Dummies.
Gideon: gets a pair of rollerskates that she bought off of craiglist for like ten bucks, because Freddie is that petty.

Dorian
Anita: a lovely set of oragami paper as well as a nice scarf. GUESS WHO DORIAN LIKES THE MOST.
Shade: gets a first edition...of one of the few first edition books that Dorian could find on short notice. so enjoy a first edition of whatever the Heropa version of "Noddy and the Bumpy-Dog" is.
Kate: a bracelet that, while nice, is pretty obviously a 'shit, I have no idea what to get my girlfriend' gift.
Dio: the gaudiest scarf that Dorian can find.
Diego: a toy dinosaur....and a less gaudy scarf, but in the same color as Dio's.
Loki: gets the wonderful gift of Dorian showing up early for work for once and not like, one minute before his shift's supposed to start.
Yuri: a snazzy pair of cufflinks...as well as a 'sorry I've been a bit of a stranger lately, dying does that to you' note.
Simon: a classy looking tie.
Winry: a pair of character shoes, with a note encouraging Winry to keep dancing...and also telling her that if they're the wrong size, he'll swap them out for ones that fit.
also, anyone who he was a massive clothing snob to (I know Newt, possibly others) is getting a Neiman Marcus catalog with certain items circled in sharpie, with BUY THESE or GET THIS BUT IN CHECKS written next to said items.

Hime
Shade: the nicest tea she can find! which...admittedly, is not very expensive, because she's fourteen and on a budget, but at least it's not Celestial Seasoning
Reggie: ??? something terribly mismatched.
Kay: a set of sparkly nail polish in various shades of pink and blue.
Alluka: a cute stuffed cat!

oh nO HE IS SO CUTE OH MY GOD

HE TAKES GIFT GIVING VERY SERIOUSLY OK

I am too dang tired to make a real list but please assume if a character has talked to Mabel a couple of times(/have met and been nice to her pigs) they're at least getting a nice little bag of quality candy with dumb reindeer doodles on the tag. CHARACTERS WHAT I SPECIFICALLY REMEMBER:
gon & killua: are getting some hand made sweaters! KNIT WITH LOVE, they both have hoverboards on the front and weeny alligators making a border on the bottom. Also they get some candy because obviously.

america: also a handknit sweater, with a crapton of stars all over it.

bart/gar/anita: scarf + hat combo in red, green, and pink respectively

residents of #18: holiday cards COVERED IN GLITTER and candy cane bouquets

dr dinosaur: some kind of crystal you can get at a new age-y store

klarion: an ugly christmas sweater with a kitty on it

I bet I forgot people because i'm the worst!! and holiday plan wise idk what exactly she'd be doing. Either hanging out with people or staying at home, watching Labyrinth for the 1000th time.

Edited (I KNEW IT I KNEW I FORGOT PEOPLE) 2014-12-14 04:41 (UTC)

THE JOYS OF PLAYING SOMEONE WHO'S TOO INTO CHRISTMAS BUT NOT HAVING A LOT OF PEOPLE TO SHOP FOR but still.

list so far (off the top of my head) is

Inumuta
I STILL DONT KNOW
Gamagori
a really good quality razor because regular ones break against his INTENSE BARA SKIN. 75 blades for extreme precision
Kay
Superhero mask, a box of chocolates and idk something like this SHE MIGHT NEED FORMALWEAR FOR HER ASSISTANT LAWYERING. DOES SHE HAVE ANY HE DOESN'T KNOW...he's doing really well for himself on hired merc salary he can afford this shit.
Annie
She gets five cool looking glass ornaments because he lucked out seeing her check stuff like that out and show mild annie levels of interest.
Cu
A bancho jacket or something god these two losers are going to be losers over this so bad.
Karen
Bottle of wine or something. HE WOULDN'T FEEL RIGHT BUYING SOMETHING BETTER THAN THAT...they don't feel close enough. Might be weird. Doesn't wanna seem weird he's made a bad enough impression already. But he likes buying people gifts.

TBH IF YOU WANT A GIFT FROM HIM FOR THE SAKE OF CR please. tell me. i dont care if you've spoken with him once he's kind of a loser

i might need gift ideas though

DIO ISNT GETTING ANYONE ANYTHING HE'S A BLACK HOLE OF SELFISHNESS

...placeholdering because wow i LOST TRACK OF TIME SO NOT PREPARED ETCETC

so FP doesn't know the first thing about christmas except things she's read here and there about giving gifts and a guy with a beard dressed in red and lots of shopping and also fancy trees.

she'd want to get presents for the people she really really likes and also her roomies, but she'd have no idea where to begin or what they'd want so she'd probably either guess or just. give up and ask them. (and also ask if they even celebrate it oops)

people getting fp presents:
-Ira Gamagori
-Kay Faraday
-Kaidan Alenko
-Sasha Blouse
-Elsa
-Bruce Wayne
-Alfred Pennyworth

so yes if you have any ideas for what you want fp to give them, or if you just want her to guess what your character would like or go ahead and ask what they want, let me knooow

Edited 2014-12-14 04:17 (UTC)

Kristoff is probably one of the worst people at Christmas, but he's going to try even though he's new at buying gifts in general. What do you even buy royalty? Or potential girlfriends? Or royal potential girlfriends?

Anna - wow help what do i do
Elsa - UUUM??
Sven - Carrots. Especially Festive Carrots. With bows.
Karen - Coffee mug with a childish painting of her awful cat on it...
John - sweater... vest?
Mary - awesome warm set of socks.

Laurie is a little more thoughtful and capable. She and Sasha are going to attempt to throw a Christmas potluck, so there's impending invites to that. She'll also try to get simple but personal gifts for the people she knows.

Sasha - Gift card to a tasty local diner.
Steve - Sweater with a red, white, and blue motif.
Bucky - Hat and mittens (?)
Jaime - Ubik
Jonathan - She'll return his handkerchief with a copy of The Remains of the Day. Get started on contemporary lit?
Joseph - idk a rad, festive case for his phone-thingy...

Anyway yes everybody come and eat food.
