[ One morning, as your character steps out of their home, they are greeted by an owl messenger, bearing a letter. The letter tells them that they have been selected to participate in a gift exchange, and they are to deliver a gift to Jean Kirstein by the end of the month. The letter says nothing more, and once the letter is read, the owl will fly away. ]

[ In the morning Puck will find a dried flower wreath delivered to him by the mail mice. Attached to the wreath is a tag. ]

Happy Holidays!

- Willow

[There is a knock on Puck's door in the mid afternoon. Aladdin isn't outside, but there's a small parcel wrapped carefully in plain brown paper, as well as a simple card that reads]

Sorry, I couldn't find a dallah like we use back home, but this seemed like the next best thing.

Happy Christmas!

[Inside the parcel is a simple, but high quality, French Press style coffee pot and a small manually-cranked coffee grinder.]

It's calmed down some, since the blizzard and Loki is also hoping Puck is home as he comes to stop by. He's brought a gift too, in the form of a stoppered pottery mug and a wrapped parcel. Bundled up as he had been for the cold, although his hood is down as knocks on the Fae's door.

Loki was hoping Puck was home. If not, he'd just go find wherever the fae was, but home would be easiest. He was curious both if Puck had heard the latest news, and he wanted to show the other something. Yes, it was a bit of preening on Loki's part, but why not? He did genuinely want the other's opinion, even if his outfit was practical too.

So he found himself outside Puck's home, wearing armor, and knocking strongly on the door.

[Continued from Here]

Loki wouldn't rush but he also didn't waste time heading home. Grateful still that he had a private room, and hoping Alice would be occupied otherwise. He loved her, and her wanting to chaperone them was very cute. But he also was not in the mood for it right then.

Whether he beat Puck or not, Loki grabbed a bottle of mead and two cups, as well as some of the sweet cakes he'd made it a point to have on hand, and headed up to his room.

Loki had skimmed the other replies, making a note to follow one or two besides his own, with Webby's bad idea. A bad and misguide idea at that. But one exchange he'd been following made him frown.

Time for a change in his plans, as he moved to adapt.

Which meant soon enough he was showing up at Puck's with mead and honey-cakes and himself. Knocking on the door politely.

How worn out are you? I'm slowly checking in and checking on others. And thank you again, even if it was not my proudest moment.

[Loki's pretty sure Puck'll know what he means.]

[Chise checked the directions Puck had sent her twice before knocking on the door. She had wanted to be sure, just in case.]

"Puck? Are you home?"

[He had mentioned to come by whenever, but there was the possibility that he was busy...]

Hey Puck! Are you ready for a race?

[ Izuku is smiling so big but then he tilts the camera down, showing the forest canopy very far down below him. There's no whoosh of air to suggest he's falling, meaning he must be suspended in mid air. ]

[ ooc : open logs will be posted on the 6th and 7th of July, where players can make their own toplevels and tag into others! 🥳 ]

Loki had, once more, taken over part of the courtyard of the ruins out by the cliff. And part of the ruins themselves, to provide cover and obstacles. He was not in his usual armor, as it was way too warm for that. It had been a while, but he was in the outfit he'd arrived in, cape and all. Wooden targets had been brought, and Loki had done a lot of magic on them this time. Not just to make them slightly more resilient and animated, but also to enable them to 'tag' him. Either through a physical hit which would be a shock of cold, or through balls of ice.

Honestly, he might have to ask if others have ideas about setting something like these up permanently. But that would be another day. Soon enough he's dodging and weaving, appearing and disappearing, with enchanted targets chasing him.

[Loki had been observing it all, as Maruki made his announcement and Webby panicked after confessing. He worried about Webby, but knew her well enough--and the situation well enough--to know jumping in would do no good. She needed space, and time, right now. Others would be searching for her now, and she'd be determined to hide.

There were others involved though, whom Loki could help. Including trying out a fun idea that had come up before. So, trying out a new look he went about gathering supplies. Serious, inhabiting the role as Puck often did and using all of his acting skill. Bringing a basket of supplies then, to go and knock on Puck's door.]

Chise was glad to provide the support where she could. Puck had been so kind to her since they had first met - she figured it was only fair.

“So long as you make sure to get some proper rest later, too.” Her gaze softened with worry. Not that the girl was his mother but… it was important. “Though I guess that’s a bit difficult with nightmares… I have a blend of potpourri scents at home that might help, if you would like to try it.”

"I will, you have my word." Puck appreciated the concern and wouldn't discard it. As she mentioned potpourri, his eyes lit up for a moment in brief excitement. "Oh? Anything with flowers I think would help nicely."

[The child hummed as she thought.]

The Library had some. There were books on scary dragons and knights, and nice dragons too.

[Puck smiled at the info.] The library does have a lot of books. Do you have a favorite?

Assuming this finally works---

Hello again, Puck. It's Seto. I got your invitation earlier, but I'm afraid it got lost in the chaos I was dealing with then. Is it still valid?

Puck would find a wrapped parcel in his own room. Labeled, wrapped carefully, first revealed was a warm fur mantle. Wrapped further, with in that, was a small wooden box containing a wooden comb. There was a note with both, hand written by Loki.

My Robin, my partner and love. You have made my life brighter than you'll ever know, and are a constant source of joy and strength to me. Blessed Yule to you, as I shall ever try to keep you warm and be your light too.

Before it was signed with a bindrune of Loki's name.

A small gift wrapped crudely in brown paper is laid without fanfare at Puck's front door. Within the haphazard packaging rests a purple scarf. It's a touch rough, with a few threads loose, and obviously knitted with fairly inexperienced hands. Towards one end Puck's name is just barely legible in a golden thread color. Nestled with the scarf is a note, written in Mikey's usual scratch scrawl.

Hey, my most excellent of fae fellows! It's the gift-giving time of year and I figured that I should make you a little something even if you're not one who celebrates the holidays, cause you've been super awesome since I got here and you deserve it. It's messy, cause I'm nowhere near Raph's skill level, but I still remember the stuff he taught me. You don't hafta wear it or anything, but I do hope it makes you feel warm.

Have the most happy of holidays!

From,
Mikey

P.S. I made Loki one too, so you guys can match. =)

[Luz gets Stringbean to go by Puck's with a neat parcel! When he unwraps it, he'll find a bottle of fresh made cider, several cheeses and meats Luz has gotten from her job. Along side it he'll also see another package: FOR OWEN.

With the packages she'll find a note:

I hope this tastes as good as when I first packaged it! It'll help you into the new year, and I hope when you have it you'll think of me! -Love, Luz Noceda

For Owen's package it's a well crafted gray briefcase with a note:

If you're ever called into service, I hope you have this to remember I'm cheering you on! -Love Luz Noceda

[On the morning of the 25th, a small basket can be found outside of Puck’s room - she would have used a firebird, except for the fact they lived in the same house and delivering it ‘personally’ felt better. Inside was a note, a blend of potpourri - smelling as close to a blend of Manhattan and Avalon as Chise remembered from her brief visit in Puck’s dream - and a book she thought he might like.]

Puck,

Thank you as always for your friendship, support, and guidance. Don’t worry - you don’t need to return the book to the Library, I got it elsewhere. I hope it is to your liking.

Merry Christmas.

~Chise

[ Puck's gift is a simple wooden plaque with his name elegantly carved on it. It's brightly polished, decorated on the border with a burned fractal pattern, and the silhouette of a feather pen marks it.

Thank you, friend is carved on the back. ]

[Loki was caught off guard by the return of Sleepr. At least the profile wasn't too damning this time. But Puck's response calmed him, and he went to search out the Fae.

Wrapping Puck up in a hug, and resting his head against Puck's hair.]

You're very tame mayhem around me. But then, I've not been causing much of it on the grand scale lately either.

[Affectionately, saying thank you without those words.]

I could be less tame, if you're getting bored. [Puck joked back as he returned the hug.] Please, chaos can be small or large, that's the fun of it.

[The nap had helped, even if Puck didn't remember very much except ideas that made no real sense when put together. He had been out cold shortly after he and Loki had gone to bed, and the cuddling and hair stroking had been nice.

Puck had no idea what time it was when he woke up, but he felt noticeably better, with just the normal grogginess that came with a regular nap.

As he sat up, Puck yawned and looked around as his vision adjusted.] Loki?
