Advent Calender 2014 - Day 15

[Nira]

Hey there, Gifter!

I was talking to Vi last night, asking about what kinda presents we should get, and uh. Well, everyone else jumped in, so it's a bit of a list. I crossed most of the stuff out, cause they're kinda useless. You tell them we got wishes or gifts, and they go out of their way to request the most delicious gourmet meal or something. I think Aryia asked for that, not sure.

Uh, let's see. Vi wanted a bag. One of those big military bags that can like, hold more than two hundred and fifty scrolls. She's been going on about moving her mementos around. I mean, sure we'll use the bag for that, but I think it'd be great to keep all our items in. Vi always used the excuse of not having enough space to carry it in our pockets and such, but it'll be a lot easier with the pack. I'd probably have to lug it around, though.

Oh, Janice wants a grappling hook. She used to be a spy, until she burned up in some mansion. I guess she wants to relive those days or something. Haven't gotten around to buying one of those, and they're pretty expensive, so I might as well ask.

Hm...

Someone wanted a crystal ball. It was probably Elsie. She buys a bunch of mirrors whenever she's in charge, and I guess now she wants to scry on herself with the crystal ball. She's always complaining about not being able to properly see your own back without looking into multiple mirrors.

Alida wants a gauntlet with the piston enhancement. She wanted to know how hard she could punch with modern technology. Simple enough. It'd be useful for fights too, so I'm all for that. I'm still gonna keep using my melody arms, though. I much prefer their utility. Strength is what Alida's all about, though.

Tanni Orval begged me to ask for a Cello. That or a guitar. Frankly, I don't care for them. I was gonna cross if off and all that, but she's been really annoying about it. I finally agreed, since she promised to relearn a bunch of useful bard techniques, but I'm skeptical. How useful are techniques developed my drummer boys in the front lines of the battlefield? Frankly, who brings a Cello into a fight?

Deena... wants a throne room. Just... ignore her. No way any of us are gonna use that regularly. Where'd we even put it? I bet the kage would throw a fit if we start building castles in the village.

That's it, with what they want.

Oh right, me. Uh... what did I want again? Hm...

Maybe some binoculars? Max zoom with night vision, if you can. That's be awesome for recon.

Anyway, thanks Gifter.

Sincerely,

Tarah Featherook

The Mailbox is Full!

Thank you all for your lovely letters but my mailbox is now full! It'll take me some time to go through them all and write back to you, giving you what you want. So bear with me as I read through each one of them and get a reply done!

[Gift Giver]

Just a note... I'm working on the letter responses now. Over halfway done with them. Anyone who receives Ryo will have it added to their account. You do not need to claim anything in this thread. But these letters are IC. So you can even RP out receiving the letter and the gift if you'd like (And if you do, send me a link. I'd love to read it ^_^)

[Gift Giver]

MAIL CALL!

To each of your respective homes, my letters have been delivered. As it says in the message above, these are IC letters. You are welcome to RP out receiving them in character or not. That choice is up to you. For those who received Ryo, the money has been added to the accounts. There doesn't need to be any claiming of money here as the letters were sent in a specific way. Pay attention to the OOC notes as well. Dice rolls both on and off site were used to determine rough amounts spent on each person, but I tried to stick as close to your lists as possible. Some of the items were either way too expensive or it was just listed in a vague way that I had no idea what I could actually give you. Regardless... Enjoy your Gifts!

Dear Hikaru Suke,

I feel honored that you would bless me with the knowledge of your name and none other. And it pleases me to know that you wish to use this item in an effort to protect your village as Amekage. As such, Take this Kyuushi as my gift to you. May it help you in your endeavors.

Dear Tora Tsume,

Simple letter is quite simple. But there's nothing wrong with that! I hope that this hoverboard will indeed help your transport easier. I've also included a reference book dedicated to Hoverboards to help you learn how to use it properly. Don't hurt yourself out there!

Sincerely,

Dear Oron Kazeraikou,

Dragons are indeed wonderful creatures. Now I personally cannot bestow an Augmentation upon someone. I was never taught how! However, I know of someone within your village that does know how to do such a thing. I've included the Ryo you need to get the Tail and the Skin. I hear that he's still working on perfecting his technique for the wings. Would hate for them to not work on you after he did so! Best of luck to you!

[OOC NOTE: This is just a simple NPC that I'm making up. Create a thread in your village to take the Augmentation Rituals. 30,000 Ryo has been added to your account. That's essentially your gift for this]

Sincerely,
The Gift Giver

Dear Schatzi Rutherford,

Trust me, I know a lot about you. Mr. Claus told me to be wary of you, but after noting what you've done, you aren't one to scare me. I don't have any of those gadgets lying around, but I did happen to receive some of that herb you were looking for. Unfortunately I don't have as much as you were asking for, but I have included 25 Doses of it along with that Reference book you've asked for. I hope it does you well.

And between you and me... I'm not all too caring about the difference between naughty and nice. I have a bad side too.

Sincerely,
The Gift Giver

Dear Katsu Kazeraikou,

Hey, I won't complain if you try to send me stuff to bribe me. I won't be swayed, but I won't object to receiving free stuff! However, I did get quite a few of those books. So I've sent you Volumes V through X. That's all the Craftworks Books that you listed along with The Book of War and Valor. Hopefully this doesn't overload you with knowledge too much!

Sincerely,
The Gift Giver

Dear Godric Hyuuga,

It's not so much that you've been naughty and sucked too many people dry (Albeit my list is a little smaller than last year. Perhaps you should cut back a little). It's more that... I don't have the net or DNA to offer. I've checked and checked and checked, and believe me... Elves do not offer good DNA. So unfortunately, all I have to offer is the Melody arm. I do hope you get some use out of it!

Sincerely,

Dear Kaius Higoshi,

I hope receiving this letter in return will help you in believing in me. It does make me glad that this is more for the benefit of your village. As such, I've given you a Medical Unit. It can be picked up in the Store in Sunagakure (As I can't really put it in a package easily to you). But I did also give you 6000 Ryo worth of Zooming vision so you get a little something for yourself. Enjoy it!

[OOC Note: You don't actually need to go to the store to pick it up xD]

Sincerely,
The Gift Giver

Dear Emi Hoshigaki,

Ask and ye shall receive... Or something like that. Regardless, you wanted a return letter and here it is! I unfortunately do not have any of those FUll Body Corsets here right now. I've searched quite a bit, but I can't seem to find any. I did provide the book that you asked for however! I hope... That'll be fine with you.

Sincerely,
The Gift Giver

Dear Zaraki Kedoin,

Of course I'll listen to what you want for Christmas! Don't you worry about that! I will say, unfortunately, I can't seem to find any of that special Claw Ammunition you asked for. But hopefully the Training room will help you out! Just head to the store in Konohagakure to pick it up. You'll also notice that I've given the two slots of Goo Pouches along with this letter! Hopefully that'll be nice for you!

[OOC Note: You don't actually need to go to the store to pick it up xD]

Dear Surya,

Mental note: Bring Snow to Sunagakure next winter... When it comes, you'll likely be wishing that I took it away. But hey, if you're melting away in the hot sun, I may as well help out. Now then, I didn't have any of those spectacular Gadgets around here, but I did have the vision and the injector. So... There you go! You can have those!

Sincerely,
The Gift Giver

PS: There's plenty of juice left around the place.

Dear Miu Moriko,

Surprisingly... I've always been a fan of those into the whole... Covert activities thing. Then again... That's sort of what I do when giving gifts the way that Mr. Claus did. Ah well. Today is your lucky day. I actually had all of those items in stock. I wanted to give you a couple of motion sensors, but I was only able to find one. If only I had a detector to find them. Anyway. Enjoy the gadgets an books!

Sincerely,
The Gift Giver

Solus

Dear Gosei Kazeraikou

Uh... Yeah. Sure. That's totally what I did... Anyway! Some of those rituals were hard to find, and most I couldn't actually figure out the instructions for. But I did manage to find a rather large book. Inside of it was the Remove Affliction Ritual, but was mostly blank. Thankfully the pages had numbers on it though. It has 1000 pages in it! Hopefully it'll come in handy with putting your own rituals in it!

Sincerely,
The Gift Giver

PS: You sound interesting. I might meet you one day.

Dear Diomed Rakhsha,

Really? That's just being greedy. Sorry, but I don't quite have that much to give to you. So here. Have 30,000 Ryo. Perhaps it'll help start you off toward that goal of a Million. You can do it! I believe in you!

Sincerely,

Janus Yeider

SPOILER: Click to show

Dear Janus Yeider,

Quite the impressive amount of titles you have there. I wish I had the same amount. However, perhaps I could offer you something that might be of assistance. Within Takigakure, I've heard of someone who has been working on perfecting the Zassou rituals. He has mastered the Greater version. Check him out when you get the chance. I don't have the power myself to give you the ritual, but I've at least given you the money for it. And have that book you wanted as well!

[OOC Note: Just added the 26,000 Ryo. The person referenced is just a random NPC. You'll have to make a thread of you actually receiving the ritual.]

Sincerely,
The Gift Giver

Dear Val'Shu,

Quite the explosive request you have here. Perhaps I can offer you some of these explosives. I unfortunately don't have any wire for you. But I've included a slot of Ice Pouches, a Slot of Exploding Tags, and Two Spiked Grenades. Hopefully that will be of use to you!

Sincerely,
The Gift Giver

Raika Tatsu

SPOILER: Click to show

Dear Tatsu Hebiarashi (Or Raika),

I feel bad because I had already given my only Kyuushi to another who had asked before you. So I included the Pouch Projector you wanted as well as a slot of Lightning pouches. I hope this will help you out with what you are working toward. And best of luck with finding the Kyuushi. I'll try to see if other shops could start carrying them more often.

[OOC Note: 2 Reroll vouchers given as a means of helping find the Kyuushi. PM me when using them]

Sincerely,
The Gift Giver

SPOILER: Click to show

Dear Xeno Sheedin,

This was a little difficult to figure out as I wasn't entirely sure what you were looking for, so I went with some basic stuff for you. Here's a set of books to help with looking for herbs in the Forest Region. Botany, Herbalism, Agriculture, and Herbivore cooking all for the Forest Regions. Hopefully they'll help you get started off on the path of alchemy. Plus you can have 10,000 Ryo to help buy some additional books if you'd like!

Sincerely,
The Gift Giver

Dear Masao Kunishige,

You give me a difficult task here. Unfortunately, I can't find much in the way of Dreamfoil here, not being near a swamp or anything. And I have no idea what the Seishingan is. My elves did bring me two doses of the Dreamfoil that you were looking for. In the meantime, here's some extra Ryo. I'll also keep in touch with some shop owners to see about them trying to find some. Perhaps that will help out with things.

[OOC Note: 5 Reroll vouchers given to be used either in shops to try and purchase what you're looking for. PM Me when using them. `15,000 Ryo Added]

Sincerely,
The Gift Giver

PS: Sorry. Fresh out of bitches. Believe me... It's been quite some time since I've gotten laid. Elves don't really put out much.

Dear Seira Kimura,

Sorry that your eraser didn't work properly! Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about that. Beside, you wouldn't believe how many erasers fail to hide what people are trying to write and mess up on! Regardless, I hope the books included will help you out. I gave you the Botany, Herbalism, and Agriculture books for both the Coastal and Grassland regions! Best of luck to you in your studies!

Sincerely,
The Gift Giver

Dear Tarah Featherook

I must say, your list is likely the longest here, and it makes gettign through it a little difficult, but I'll do what I can. I feel bad because I can't get all of you what you'd like, so I hope what I can offer will work just fine. I hope that the Cello (Large) will make Tanni happy. The bard techniques might be more useful than you'd think. I also included the Crystal Ball for who you believe to be Elsie. Lastly, there's some binoculars for you with Night Vision and 10x Zoom. Sorry I couldn't get you the full zoom or the other stuff for everyone else. I tried to find everything I could but I just wasn't able to. Best of luck in getting it all though. And tell everyone I said hi!

Sincerely,
The Gift Giver
