etcelsior | HOLIDAY GIFT PLANNING

Will be spending the holidays with Raina. He will not be caroling, he will not be volunteering, and he will not be wearing uglier sweaters than typically.

90% of his gifts will be from Williams-Sonoma.

For Sam Merlotte, personalized text reads: CommitMINT Issues. It's all bark, all bite.
For Will Graham, because hahaha screw you old pal.
For Bela Talbot
For Sarissa
For Dorian Gray, guess where you can shove it.
For Ser Jorah Mormont, for obvious reasons.
For Doctor Thaddeus Venture
For Sookie Stackhouse
For Reggie Mantle, GOD.
For Rincewind, with the initials "ER" monogrammed. As in Ephraim Rincewind.
For Hemali, the red one with an "H" monogram, because he was such a DICK to her during the misfires and this is actually an apology present.
For Mick Rory, because of SYMBOLISM. It is a controlled environment for a flame!!
For Mark Vorkosigan, because it's creepy symbolism about holding your own destiny in your own hand, also Chilton likes tacky tie pins.
For The Monarch, so he can watch his adoptive family live and die all over again. Or maybe they'll just leave him.
For Jeff Winger

MORE TO COME.

...will be celebrating with his mother! And probably whoever else wants to join him. For the rest of the holiday season, he'll be happily throwing himself into festive bullshit and welcomes anyone to come with him in addition to introducing others to the holidays.

Will probably be crying into a bottle of bourbon. If found please return to Sarah Manning.
At some point she thought about organising a blood drive but who knows if that will happen because she is currently even more of a mess than usual. She will definitely be getting arrested with Dorian at some point. They got a little too into the holiday spirits.

Unlike Frederick Chilton she will 100% be wearing ugly sweaters, all of which are too big, and one of which matches an ugly sweater for her pet parrot. Fight her.

70% of the time she does a good job of convincing people she is Totally Fine.

he'll be getting a fuckton of people presents even if it's just a cheesy mug tbh

Fuu: A bag of Japanese snacks/sweets & some Japanese cooking gear... along with a bushel of spinach. Time for you to get excited about spinach.
Ken: A bag of soccer balls (I have a feeling you and your new friends go through a lot of them), and a DVD of Lone Wolf And Cub for them to watch together... which he only knows because of this universe's version of Bob's Burgers SO SUE HIM.
Kaneda: More Japanese snacks, popcorn and a Fast & The Furious DVD with a note: have a movie date with Maya.
Bianca: A family photo album! Sure, he had to photocopy the pictures off of his poopsuit, but the sentiment is there in addition to a replacement for a favourite but mundane item from home (maybe a cup?)
Ted: THERAPY VOUCHERS no jk. A boxset of Space Explorers with a note: it's no Star Trek, but it's still pretty funny. It even comes with a bath robe.
Skeets: Some polish. And a box of chocolates. The note will say: I know you're just starting to taste stuff but if I were you the thing I'd want to taste is chocolate.
Erik: A Hanukkah mug and some coffee.
Sarissa: A horrifyingly gaudy Spice Girls poster and this awful t-shirt.
Kaidan: A slow cooker with that art $$$. Inside is a small book of easy recipes... which he wrote out from allrecipes. HE'S NOT MADE OF MONEY, OKAY.
Shep: A remote controlled spaceship and an enormous bag of kettle corn.
Will: Newspaper clippings from their art project + a work selfie ALL PRINTED OUT. As for actual gifts: This ball and fuzzy slippers.
I graduated a term later than expected, but, you know. Worth it.
Dick: VEHICLE BULLSHIT GOES HERE
Supes: A book filled with interview for his new project from natives about their perspective on natives. It will be grade school level reporting, which is to say, all people that Clark knows that Jaime knows (classmates and teachers; old high school classmates; the woman at the mexican grocery store; co-workers at the garage, etc.). He'll also be getting a nice pen. and a note: I hope this can help. Tell me if you want their phone numbers if you need more.
Peej: This phone case, popcorn in a reusable container + a bottle of wine.
Klarion: Candy! And a voucher for a nearby fondue restaurant.
Laurie: A NOVEL 'CAUSE THEY'RE SO BORING... and some clippings of reviews of her own book, just to personalize it.
Magicman: The newest expansion for this world's anaolgue of COD so he can continue tORMENTING KHAJI.
Tadashi: A mug for late nights and a 'working cap'.
Maya: Osechi bento boxes and some Japanese snacks
Kitty: This mug and a necklace

...is, as some of you may have seen on his post, not having a great holiday.

He's probably not going to get anything for anyone besides, perhaps, Sadie, and will be spending a lot of the holiday in ugly Christmas sweaters and drinking profusely because he misses his family and has nobody to spend time with because he's so horrible HAHAH

feel free to badger him

...just sort of affably watches other people celebrate with fondness but no real inclination to engage unless he's personally invited to do so. Do invite him anywhere; he's a good guest, and loves to see human traditions! He'll probably spend the holidays mostly alone if not, but generally happily so.

He will, however, be giving people presents that will mostly be hippie as fuck and handmade! Think woven necklaces and homemade candles. This will include:

James:
Hartley:
Mick:
Doctor:
Fuu:
Jim:
Spock:
Doc:
Erik:
Kanaya:
Kasumi:
Nike:
Kagami:

And possibly Len out of goodwill and his inclusion in Roguehaus.

Cosima Niehaus: a shark pillow sleeping bag (BRIANNA YOU CAN'T STEAL IT) & a series of x-ray photograph print things of various sealife. just humour me and pretend they are really high quality and amazing prints okok. (jellyfish, a ray thing. seahorse & shell)

Sarah Manning A PUNK BELT of sorts, just imagine this but instead of bullets there are slightly stylised looking pieces of lockpicking equipment. Godspeed, padlocks of MoM. Godspeed. There's also a total old lady locket, don't judge her, and there's also a stack of photos.

Alison Hendrix

Rachel Duncan is making sure Sarah doesn't punch her a gift idk

Clara Oswald

Brianna

Jaime Reyes literally a blue beetle in dire need of a hero. Please restore this sad rust bucket to its former glory, young one.

Jessica Jones

Dorian Gray

Frederick Chilton

Pablo Arjona

Kitty Jones

Darlene is getting a potted aloe vera plant to help people recover from all the sick burns she deals them

MORE PEOPLE PROBS

will also be crying in a bottle of bourbon because Toby left and everything's sad and he's going home to a horrible canon update that's totally Dorian's fault and blah blah blah. Somebody please make certain he doesn't spend Christmas at the bar.

he'll be spending part of the Christmas holidays with Sarissa (as they're gonna get arrested) and Constantine (where the two of them discover that YEAH THEY'RE BEST AS JUST FRIENDS)

Alfie might crash the Doctor's Christmas party, but other than that he won't be celebrating the holiday and prooooobably won't be getting anyone any Christmas presents. But I'm placeholdering here JUST IN CASE

Edited 2016-12-10 03:58 (UTC)

Toby: the ingame equivalent of the Playstation Vita & some games. enjoy it when you get back, buddy.
Shade: a vintage top hat! It's not as old as Shade's current top hat but hey, it's always nice to have a back-up
Klarion: one of those like five pound bags of sour patch kids. Also, a nice scratching post for Teekl and some sort of revisionist fairy tale sort of book where the witch turns the shitty kids into mice at the end and she lives happily ever after by herself.
Constantine: REALLY NICE BOOZE and a very nice monogrammed tie pin because Dorian's under the impression that people still use those.
Sarissa: a lovely (and slightly too expensive for her taste!) pair of garnet earrings as well as a good vintage of scotch.
Mick: ANOTHER DAMN SHIRT, one of the really nice ones that is also slightly too expensive for his taste. This one's in a lovely burnt sienna color, given entirely unaware of the irony
Will: one of those awful singing fish that he got at goodwill so it doesn't really work properly. Also, the software for quickbooks or some other accounting service because it just occurred to Dorian that he has no idea if Will knows how to do taxes to begin with.
April: SEX DICE. have fun in the bedroom April, you deserve it. also, a totally pimped out rhinestone leash that in theory could be used for the dogs, but the size is better for a raccoon.
Persephone: man, Dorian has no clue what the fck to give Persephone, so he gives her a bottle of pomegranate vinaigrette dressing from one of those absolutely ridiculous oil and vinegar sort of stores.
Jeff: a gift bag consisting of various Jeff Winger themed items that Dorian bought off of Etsy. some of them are pretty good, some of them are TERRIBLE. enjoy narcissism for Christmas.
Raina: lovely expensive floral perfume. We're talking like Chanel level of nice.
Baelish:
March: hair care stuff! like, pomade and mustache wax and things like that. hopefully March is a dapper dan man.
Rincewind: look, Dorian straight up forgot about Rincewind and so when he gets HIS present, there will be a lot of scrambling before Dorian gives Rincewind a nice bottle of wine and a flowy sort of tunic top that he didn't literally just pick up from Walgreens, why would you say that?

horrible fuck you gifts for
Chilton: one of those completely cheesy teen girl personality quiz books (which member of one direction are you????). There's a note attached saying 'for use in future sessions.'
Billy Kaplan: the Personal Disaster Planning Handbook.
Tony Stark: Art of the Apology

Edited 2016-12-13 15:26 (UTC)

he'll be hosting a Christmas party! no aliens will invade and everything is going to go smoothly for once (oh my god, things will not go smoothly.) hopefully somebody will bring food otherwise we're having a very merry Christmas sponsored by Dominos. I'm up for the Christmas party being ON Christmas or being AROUND christmas, whatever works best for y'all and your cr.

Clara: body wash in that scent she likes + tangerines + a handmade sort of cryptid's guide to Mothman + a TARDIS Christmas tree ornament clumsily made out of polymer clay
Hazel: a set of exceedingly nice water color paints + a pair of dangly skull earrings
Walker: okay so he WAS going to give Walker just an incense burner + some incense but after he gets Walker's present, then Walker also gets a large piece of paper with a large circle with some smaller circles on it. The attached sticky note says Time Lords aren't all that big on religion, so there's not really an accurate translation for saint, so here's the Gallifreyan word for "someone who comforts", enjoy your wall art as well.
Max C: fancy new camera tripod!
Julian: a word a day calendar + a sweater with the days of the week on it courtesy of Mabel Pines
Mark V: the ingame equivalent of the book Freakonomics.
Aerith: FIELD TRIP TO THE SNOW. like, the day after Christmas he's going to find Aerith and yank her up to Maurtia Falls, where they'll have a fun day doing cliche snow things. She gets winter gear as well.
Kasumi: a tiny little marshmallow shooter type gun thing that is 100% for hiding in the shadows and shooting marshmallows at people's heads.
Kanaya: a Rockabye Baby CD but it's of the Ramones. we're getting your kid some culture.
Mabel: MORE YARN plus also a bunch of felt and one of those "here's how you crochet tiny animals" books
his amazing bff Peachblossom: LIKE FIVE BAGS OF POTATO CHIPS, your horse gon get fat, Kel.

and inevitably more to be added

Will be having Christmas morning with the rest of the Rogues, because Mick has threatened everyone into it, like a nice, loving family.

Later he'll probably be at a soup kitchen or something. He will be making charitable donations for all of his CR.

James - A donation in his name to ????? and a custom-made, sound-based video game arcade cabinet for the bar.
Mick - A donation in his name to a charitable fund for burn victims, and a bottle of ghost pepper hot sauce with a note clearly stating it is not to be put in communal food. Also a copy of "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" on DVD.
Len - A donation in his name to a charitable fund for helping kleptomaniacs in recovery.
Lisa - A donation in her name to a charitable fund for young women, and a gold plated figure skating charm.

Mouse - A donation in his name to a rodent-friendly animal shelter. A nice warm sweater with a cute watercolor style picture of two rats on it.
M - A donation in his name to a charitable fund for ??????
Axel - A donation in his name to a charitable fund supporting the rehabilitation of criminal youths. Possibly also coal.

and lectures about capitalism for everyone

Ted is Jewish and bad at it, but Christmas and Hannukah line up this year anyway so HURRAH

He's probably going to spend it at home by himself unless invited out elsewhere.

Jaime -
Bianca -
Skeets -
Peej -
Bruce -
Clark -
Julian - a month's worth of day of the week toe socks that are brightly colored and covered in each day written in different languages.

...other people...

Edited 2016-12-10 04:46 (UTC)

The Monarch is probably going to break into Dr. Venture's house and fail to light his Christmas tree on fire, then take a dump in his bathroom and not flush.

Julian - A calendar with Monarch butterflies on every page.
Chilton - This book and a copy of Modern Enemy Monthly that he happened to have on him when he was ported in.
Rusty - a bag of dicks and aforementioned dump. No, you know what? Let's make it an upperdecker.

More to be added?

John is going to be throwing an AntiChrist-mas Party open to disaffected sorts around the imPort community. Ideally this will be no-teenagers because the DAMN ANKLE BITERS WILL NOT LEAVE HIM ALONE but they are still welcome to sneak in. :V He will probably try once again to score with Jack but is open to other CR trying to smooch him.

Speaking of smooching, at some point he also has to deal with Dorian being mopey and they figure out the hard way that they make better Platonic Life Partners.

Edited 2016-12-10 05:06 (UTC)

John is going to be a real dick about all of this but

PERSEPHONE:
A pendant shaped like a pomegranate, with a protective ward engraved on the back. He will deny it being from him and have it delivered it to her anonymously.

NICO:
Illustrated Harry Potter books.

INANNA:
A very glittery and gaudy eyeshadow palette. Also anonymously delivered.

LUCIFER:
it a mystery

DORIAN:
Cufflinks, engraved with protective wards.

JACK:
A vegan cookbook containing a lot of overly pretentious recipes.

KYLE:
Ugly Christmas sweater done up in a Satanic design.

WANDA:
Lipstick in Super extra Gothic looking packaging

BILLY:
Loose leaf tea, English Breakfast with mug reading "#1 son"

MAX:
Coffee table book on photography

LOKI:
Onesie pajamas with button up butt flap and an ice cream pattern on the fabric

KLARION:
A "best of the Blues" album set

BATFAMILY
If he can figure out where the Batcave entrance is, a flaming bag of turds.

FLATMATES FROM HEROPA 005:
this cake left without explanation in the kitchen

Newt will be visiting Boston with Hermann, and presumably Sophie and Breeze, during the days leading up to Christmas. There they will do cliche winter movie things, like building snowmen, ice-skating, snowball-fighting, and anything the girls want to do... and then the nerds will elope at MIT.

Christmas itself, I don't know.

List to follow:

(currently being worked on)

Hermann -- ~~a husband~~. NOTHING. COAL. BECAUSE HE'S RUDE. (TBD, actually)
Sophie -- a bunch of things, but probably some clothes (including socks, because parents always get kids socks, Newt says)
Komasan -- a deck of playing cards (cutesy icecream themed), giftcard for ice cream, and a note that says CONGRATS ON THE BEST FRIEND
Agito -- aviator jacket and goggles
Doc --
Kang --
Aurican -- a giftcard for a bookstore and a text-book size book on biology
Miles & Greg --

More to be added?

He will be spending the holidays alone, mostly. Probably going to charity parties, wearing out all of his red ties, and mostly being a rich fuck around the holidays.

He will not be drinking, nor will he be spending it with ~someone special~
