[ooc] christmas presents 2012 style

[ghostytrainer]

Everyone that John is on good terms with and has spoken to at least enough to exchange names will receive a bag of candy canes and home-made gingerbread Pokemon. No jokes here, if he so much as knows your name, you are getting cookies. (yes, Eridan, even you. You won't even get burnt or malformed ones!) It's happening, accept it. Attached is a hand-written Christmas card with assurance that they are not poisoned and a shitty Christmas doodle of some kind.

In addition, the following people will also recieve...

Rose: The second book in the children's book series about the Charwizard (this might become a Christmas tradition) + a fancy Octillery fountain pen
Dave: A shirt that reads "This is why I'm Hot." featuring a Rapidash + Murkrow earmuffs (Possibly + some kind of stupid pranky gag gift too, I'll let you know once I have more brain power to devote to this)
Jade: Pokemon-themed knee socks (Clefairy, Growlithe, Solosis) + A variety of hair ribbons featuring the various baby Pokemon
Jane: A Buneary hat + Gastly egg (egg moves: Night Shade, Confuse Ray, Curse, Sucker Punch, Payback, Dark Pulse, Hex, Astonish, Disable, Fire Punch, Ice Punch, Thunder Punch, Return, Rest, Dark Pulse, Icy Wind, Ominous Wind, Pain Split, Snore, Sucker Punch, Sleep Talk)
Jake: An Emolga hat + a nifty compass that looks like a pocket watch with engravings of the legendary beasts and Unown on the outside + TM Return (NO EGGS FOR YOU, BOY. YOU ARE ON PROBATION THIS IS AN INTERVENTION.)
Dirk: A Banette hat + Golett egg (egg moves: Rock Smash and Strength...not as ridiculous as that Gastly but HEY. SOON YOU WILL HAVE YOUR OWN FLYING GHOST MECHA.)
Karkat: A small music player pre-loaded with a few romance audio novels (which rose helped him pick out so hopefully they won't suck) + noise canceling headphones (this is all for the next time you're stuck on the train with Sollux and Vanitas, Karkat. Surely this will help.) [Karkat will also recieve extra gingerbread.]
Aradia: A book entitled "Mysteries of the Ruins of Alph" + knee-high Omanyte toe socks (as in...her toes are the tentacles, there are little eyes on the top of the foot, and a shell pattern going up the legs. They are about the most adorable socks you will ever see)
Kanaya: A hat, scarf, and glove set in the Roselia line's color scheme, complete with vine-like embroidery and red and blue flowers + Snorunt egg (egg moves: Return)
Sollux: Rotom egg (SADLY NO EGG MOVES)
Bro: Litwick Egg (egg moves: Toxic, Shadow Ball, Double Team, Rest, Attract, Energy Ball, Will-o-Wisp, Dark Pulse, Pain Split, Sleep Talk, Snore, Spite, Trick)
Mom: Meowth Egg (egg moves: Shadow Claw, Cut)
vanitas: A cookbook + set of cooking knives (featuring various steel types engraved into the handles and blades)
Riku: P50,000 (for the breeding center. He couldn't figure out what to get a guy who doesn't really need anymore eggs or TMs but figured he could always use more for the upkeep of the center. This is explained in his Christmas card.)
Luke: A collection of various teas + an one of those 6-square hard-mode puzzles featuring the Johto and Kanto starters + Swablu egg (egg moves: Agility, Dragon Rush, Fly, Ice Beam, Swagger, Ominous Wind, Air Cutter, Mimic) [Luke will also get extra gingerbread]
Jack: A ghost-pokemon themed china set. (A must have for a haunted B&B, yes?)

The following are no longer in Johto but that didn't stop John from getting them present, though they will not get the cookies...for obvious reasons.

Other Father: A sheet music collection + another silly tie, delibird-themed this year. (the wrapped gift will be left inside OF's bedside table in the Other House, waiting for OF's return)
Vriska: A set of eight eight-sided dice carved from some kind of deep blue-black crystal with gold numbering, kept inside a green pouch with Spinarak's markings (the wrapped gift will be kept on John's person, the safest place for it to stay until Vriska's return)
