The package is a simple envelope delivered to the islets. There is a long lock of golden hair enclosed, tied with a ribbon. There is also a flyer for the Allfair Combat Arena folded up along with a handwritten note.
Nobody hurts my loved ones. We'll settle this at the arena.
~Malara Tor
Thank you for telling me I was pretty, and the tip about webcams.

PLAYER: @Poppy TO: Vivian Arkewright FROM: Noli Zaphir
Contained in the envelope is a short note and a few locks of Noli's hair.
Thank you for the beautiful wallet. I wanted to give you something in return before I leave, and this was the only thing I knew you were interested in.
It is a long, cloth wrapped package sealed with wax and stamped with the seal of a Mes blacksmith. Inside is a sword. A note is pinned to the sword knot.
Don't say I never do anything for you. Merry Christmas.
Love you bro
PLAYER: @Nikki@Pallas@Ghost TO: Pandora, Phaedra, Dalia, Amber, and Ossa FROM: Malara
A photo album in wrapping paper. The album contains a lot of pictures of Pandora and the people she cares about. There's a section that specifically shows Pandora and Malara's relationship: from antagonists to freinds to lovers to dating to being parents, and their life with the spiderlings so far.
There is a set of fantasy novels for the girls, a miniature (blunt) scythe for Ossa, and a black iron mace for Dalia made to look similar to Malara's flail.
There is also a wrapped box for Pandora only, with a red negligee made in her size. There is also a small black book containing names and descriptions of small time criminals from the Underground; the kind no one would miss.
The small wrapped box has a framed picture of an artist's rendition of Mal and Cat in the simulation. A small note is also included.
You still owe me that dance, Kit Kat. Meet me at my place later and I'll give you the rest of your gift.
~Malara
The gift is less a box an more a crate. Inside is a custom built spice cabinet with spices from both Earth and Mes. There is also a shirt that reads 'Asura in the Streets, Jawa in the sheets.'
The small crate contains a lot of sweets from Mes as well as a ruby encrusted gold bracelet. The bracelet acts as a heat charm, and is also considered Daughter of Flame regalia.
The gift comes in a rather large crate that is quite heavy and has to be opened with a crowbar. It's a gold plated statuette of Malara in her full goddess form: three nude torsos each with three arms and a head, extending in different directions from a base of five legs. The statue stands two feet high in an aggressive pose.
The small box contains a necklace made of gold braided wire with uncut precious stones all around it. A gold pendant in the middle has the Daughters of Flame emblem on one side and the phrase 'Be Your Truest Self' on the other.
The box is filled to the brim with jewelry, knives, and other knick knacks from Mes. Nothing is cheap, really, but it's obvious that money was spent on quantity, rather than one big item. There is also a discreet package at the bottom, filled with individual packets of a light green-white powder. A note accompanies the package.
Klaus, babe. This is Frentjai. Powerful hallucinogen from Mes. Particularly wild with sex. Enjoy.
The gift comes in a metal case engraved with Daughters of Flame iconography. The interior holds a sleek golden pistol with a wooden grip, stained red. The grip has an engraving on each side, with the phrase 'Be Your Truest Self'. One side is in English and the other side is in Praxian.
The gun doesn't have any noticable magazines or places for ammunition. Instead, the end has a focusing lens. The gun fires a hard light projectile, and can fire up to ten before needing to recharge over the course of a minute.
The simple paper package contains a dress in Shay's size, along with a pair of black knee socks to go with it. The material is light and soft, but essentially cut and stab proof and entirely fireproof.
PLAYER: @Poppy TO: Detective Felix Verma FROM: Cat
it's a box! Inside the box is two smaller boxes, one containing a beautiful peacock feather bracelet, the other containing a necklace and earring set. Beneath the boxes is a beautiful sketchbook. The book is full of newspaper clipings about all of Felix's cases, accompanied by cute little doodles and sketches of Felix: some sketches are of a romanticised version of what happened in the cases portraying Felix as a beautiful warrior or knight, sometimes a magician or a ninja. Other sketches are of Felix doing every day things, like smoking or paperwork. Inside the frontbcover of the book is an envelope containing a letter.
Dear Felix,
I would like to wish you the happiest of holiday celebrations with your friend. I hope you are both doing very well, and that this is only one of many well-wishes you receive. I am not entirely sure how this holiday works, but the common theme seems to be showering your family with gifts and affection. I know we aren’t family in the traditional sense of the word and that the sentiment is likely one sided, but I hope you like what I picked out for you. I had Mia make some adjustments to the bottom stone. It’s interchangeable with the stone in the small box, the one that smells like lavender.
Holidays aside, I really want to thank you for everything you’ve done for me. I know it’s been a lot of unnecessary stress for you, and I am very sorry. I owe my life to you several times over and no amount of gifts or praise will ever repay that debt. You do a lot on your own,and it must be very lonely. I’m proud of you Felix. I look up to you because you always seem to know what to do, you keep those of us who don’t know how to protect ourselves protected even if the blame lies on us for entering the situation. I couldn't imagine a Manta Carlos Island without a Detective Felix Verma to take down the worst of the criminals. It’s some work of a god that brought you here, and I truly hope that nothing but that same god can take you away.
I’ve added a self defence class to my schedule for this coming year, and a marksmanship class. I think knowing exactly how much I know about taking apart guns might help me find something from my past. I promise I’ll learn to keep myself safe whether you or Mal or Kylar is with me, or if I’m by myself. I’ve come a long way from barely being able to leave the campus when I first arrived, and I’m eager to show you how I can still continue to improve.
Thank you, Felix. For everything you do, and everything you have taught me. Sorry if I wasn't clear in some parts of my letter, but the previous statement summarises everything I wanted to say. Happy holidays!

I hope you spent it with the people you love and may happiness continue to find you."
