Happy Holidays - Gift Exchange

Post by Flowing Tears »


Wrapped in purple paper and dotted with spider webs as "bows" was a gift left for Michi from Misery.

The tiny skeleton hands on the hairclips may or may not have been harvested from...something and be real bone.

A second gift, this one marked for Addie, was wrapped in the same manner as Michi's had been.

Image

A skeleton in a casket baking pan, since Addie was fond of baking and hadn't burned a house down like Misery had.

For Baroness Hope, Misery wrapped her gift in ghostly white and iridescent paper.

The note attached read: For when I wail too loudly during training, you can muffle the sound.

For Misery: Matching lightning bolt earrings and necklace, a mop, and a rain poncho

For Michi: Fresh kicks, a cute dress (don't you dare laugh, and please don't wear the J's with the dress), and chocolate covered strawberries

For Miss Hope: A metric ton of baked goods; frosted cookies, chocolate chip cookies, and cake pops

Dearest Bob,

I appreciate the gift. In fact, I appreciate it so much I cleaned out the fridge and bought fresh food for you. Enjoy.

Your boss,
Rick

Attached with the letter is a picture of said fridge:

From Bob, to Tara, as you once requested, an hourglass full of the crushed remains of my enemies. I got really, really bored crushing their bones up, though, so I just shrank them down and stuffed them in there. See if you can find the skull with the huge dent in the forehead! That was Enrique, who once corrected a typo I made on a forum. I really hated that guy.

From Bob, to Rick, you giant, total jerkface.

P.S. Touch my food again and you won't have time to die of cancer.

My Quinn,

Hey, kiddo. I know I haven't been around much lately. I know you're worried. I promise things will work out, somehow. I'm working on things for you and Bob. I'll take care of you guys. I swear. On my word as a wizard, everything will be all right.

Took me a while to track this down, but I think you'll appreciate it.

Image

And hey. I'll be home for Christmas.

Your man,
Rick Spade



F'ing Bob,

Picked up a new TV. Guy at the pawn shop said it was the best one. Just like I had growing up:

Image

I threw the old one out back to make room. Those things really go 'bang' when you break them these days!

Still your boss,
Rick

P.S. Don't forget, magic or not, I know your True Name. Screw with me and I'm going to give it to Quinn.

For Misery. The card reads: Try not to break it by looking at yourself. ;)

Image

For Addie. The card reads: Found it after it fell off the back of a truck.

A small box with a note attached was left for Grace Frigg:

Dear Grace,

Thank you very much for the Turtle Ice Cream and Bowls. I
thought about a gift to give to return your kindness. I know
you have some of the same issues I have, and here is a book
I have read many times over that may help you.

Thank you and Merry Christmas,
Gren Blockman


There is a leather bound book with the title "I Am A Winner,
and other mantras you can practice to boost your self-esteem,
by Doctor Biff McShockengruber" in the box.
