Valentine's Day Gifts & Cards

Each employee, EXCEPT FOR EON, gets an envelope with a silly Valentine card and a decent sized bonus.

Brailan sent everyone in the monster squad a little gift baggie with some treats—whatever appealed to them most—and…fuzzy socks? I dunno, his mom said everyone likes fuzzy socks. Iesha doesn’t have feet though, so she just got one longer fuzzy sock for her tail.

A small box, inside is a custom bracelet designed to match her ring along with a short letter.
"We can't really understand love, it's not something we can learn from a book or study until we know everything. But I'm happy were figuring it together" ~Roland~

[A large shark tooth]

A fluffy, brown teddy bear keychain.

"I didn't think you'd get anything, so here!

Love, Junchi Mei"

Gareth got Fatima a big ol’ box of chocolates, and a cute heart necklace. He also included a card:
Fatima,

G’day luv! Just wanted to drop ya note to say I think yer a bloody ruppert and luv havin ya in my life. I’m a right lucky bloke, I am. I wanna chuck you in an ute and drive ya off into the sunset for our happily ever afta.

Okay, enough of the silly slang. I just wanted to saw I’m really happy to have you in my life. Thank for putting up with silly ol me. I love you.

Luv from ya bloke,
Gareth

A box full of chocolate-coated strawberries, kept cool by a mild ice charm.

A simple, heart-shaped card that was made with the utmost care. Attached is a small silver locket, currently empty.

It's a bracelet with a summoning seal for a Goetic demon, specifically Npesis. A note with it reads, "I know you probably want nothing to do with this stuff, but if you keep this on you, you can communicate telepathically with me and summon me whenever you need me. This is twice you've saved me. I love you. I want us to get better."

A box of chocolates and a mottled green stress ball. A note with it reads, "You're an immature man-child, but you're also really sweet. Color me surprised. Love you."

Diapers, several packs of diapers. They're also littering his office, even in his desk. There's a post it note that on the schedule that simply reads “Because you're a big, big baby”

Chocolate he guesses. A few mildly offensive haikus.

Of course, Mia could not just get a gift for only Ceidwen, but for Ravina as well. She got Ceidwen a new book about forensic science that just came out that she thought would be of interest to her. She got Ravina a cute new hairbow and some hair clips.

She also wrote a card:

Ceidwen and Ravina,

I cannot even begin to find words for how much you two and the twins mean to me. I spent so much of my life in a wanderless aim, but it was worth it since I finally found you.

Our family is truly the love of my life.

Love,
Mia

This care package has clearly been inspected by the guards at the Islets. It's a couple of heart-shaped chocolates, a book about rural Ireland, and most importantly, a forest green trilby with a skull with a rose in its teeth printed on the silk inside. The hat is fit perfectly for Shay. A hidden compartment in the hat that Shay should have an easy time finding (since all Fitz's hats have it) reads, "Love you, gorgeous. We get knocked down, but we get up again, aye?"

A card containing an aggressively note saying “Happy Valentines day, unless you didn't get this until after you got out.”

A strange but beautiful glowing flower that doesn't appear to have a stem or roots of any kind. It's contained in a glass container and seems to float fluidly. A note with rather simple detailed instructions pertaining to its care.

It's meat, like jerky and stuff.

For once, it's not an article of clothing. It's actually an invite for a date. First a hunt in the woods, then eating their kills by a bonfire in a cave, and then camping out in said cave. She's already cleared this with Malara and Storm, who know exactly where they will be.

A postcard of a view of Manta Carlos on one side, and on the other, a note saying 'For your collection. Maybe i'll tell you who this is from. Kinda nervous about it." There is also three antique coins. They aren't particularly rare, or expensive, or in great condition, but the value shows that someone with not a lot of money brought them, and spending what they considered quite a bit.

A note that reads “I'll be in the woods, come ready to fight. Winner buys dinner.”

"We should play more. Last time was fun."

A handwritten letter sealed in an ornate envelope along with a small bag of assorted candies. This was delivered by golden butterflies.

Dalia made Ravina a sweater with heart designs all over it. The note with it has a picture of Dalia covered in red marker 'sores'. It reads "Oh no, the cooties got me! Help!!! Hope you like the sweater. "

Pretty fancy kinda went all out with a handwritten letter that arguably sounds more sappy than he intended. Generic Valentine's candies Also a fresh fish sandwich to be delivered to her at lunch.

A card that reads “Read Hella's. I can only personalize these so much. ”

Books, a great number of them at that.

Assorted Valentine's candy, and a couple books. Also a card that reads “You've helped me more than you probably realize, thank you.

Breakfast in bed for his serpent queen. Some practical tools to help her learn the alphabet, and numerical system faster. A more ornate heat charm that functions like her current one but isn't. Also similar matching earrings and necklace.

A handwritten note that reads “A precious jewel for my most precious Vin” and a necklace containing a brilliant ruby clearly cut from his most prized gem in his hoard.

A red, heart-shaped box with a dozen chocolate pieces, shaped like musical notes.
An attached note reads: "I don't know how you feel about me, but I won't ruin our daughter's Valentine's Day by not offering you this gift. At least play along. Please."

"I think you're cool. I think your tail and wings are cool too."

Poetry of course, gross sappy poetry. And chocolate

A small box surrounded by shells found on the beach. Inside the box is a small slip of paper and Barty's old engagement ring.
Still yours. Always yours.

Exceptionally large frilly homemade Valentine in the shape of a heart. A lot of effort was put into it as it is actually dozens of layers of paper and frills. In the very center is a small note "You mean the world to me. Thank you for everything. Love you always."

A card made out of plain construction paper. Inside is written:
i dont get this stoopid day. whatevar. love yoo. - jax

Some meat snacks from Jack's with a card that just read “You know what you did, loser. Thanks.”

A homemade card that is far too glittery and has way too much going on. Inside reads:
Rise up to fight the cootie invasion!

A large bag of M&Ms with a note attached saying, "You're not as bad as I thought. Get better."

A box comes with the card. Inside is a book on different fighting techniques and the histories from which they developed.

Super fancy box of femur chips with a note that reads. “Enjoy these, Dalia”

[A nosegay of violets and a note;]
Bracelets are red,
My cheeks are red too,
I can’t help but say,
My thoughts are filled with you.
Will you be my Valentine?

Just a card which reads “Enjoy my bonus, get yourself something nice.”

A simple cut out Paper heart. It is written on with bright silver letters. "You are the Magic in my life"

A bouquet of flowers with purple hyacinth, white poppy, and asphodel are left at Flo’s door. A card was included:

I hope these flowers find you well, and I hope they brighten up your room today.

I miss you. I’m sorry.

The card is not signed, but Flo would easily recognize the handwriting as Noli’s.

A card that was left in her bedside table for Fitz to find.
Derry,

It is in trying times like these that I wish I could tell the future. Give you assurances that I will never mess up again. That I can be all that you deserve, unfortunately, all you have is my word. A simple, weightless thing, but I hope it feels like gold to you nonetheless.

I'm sorry I fucked up. I understand your anger and pray to whatever entity lives above that you may find it in yourself to forgive me.

Yours forevermore,
Shay

A necklace with a winged gemstone heart. The necklace and wings are golden, but the heart is sky blue. There is also a selfie of Oluremi wearing the same necklace, but her heart is a light pink. She has her hair in puffed-up pigtails, is wearing her sparkly pastel contacts, and has on cutesy clothing.

"Happy Valentine's Day, Koda Bear! <3

Loves and Kisses, Remi."

It's a large variety box of chocolates, featuring more types then you could possibly think of for him to try.

Also, a stack of books for him, and a bookshelf for his room that Valli's probably going to struggle to set up and need help with.

An envelope stuffed to the breaking point with nude photos of Pandora all over the apartment.

An envelope with a mixtape inside.
The 1975 - “Robbers”
Alcaline Trio - "Clavicle"
Between the Trees - "Changed by You"

A Purplesuit, designed by Muse Fashion, studded with bright gold buttons, and bright gold spiked shoulder pads. Also a matching pair of Heels, and a bouquet of purple flowers.

A simple note written neatly and sealed with a red Obsidian signet. "Thank you for believing in me."

A single normal looking note written in Narraines fancy cursive writing. "Let's make a baby."

"An envelope with several feathers tucked inside."

Homemade sweets and several technical manuals from the space station that she doesn't already have.

A nice card reading “As you can see, this is a generic card. Enjoy the candy though?”
There is in fact some candy in the cute bag with the card.

A homemade card that is far too glittery and has way too much going on. Inside reads:

Rise up to fight the cootie invasion!

"We should hang out more."

A generic valentine card with a handwritten note clearly failing at sounding too sappy as well as hand carved star necklace. Also, a basket Lyn's favorite sweets along with some homemade ones.

A homemade card that is far too glittery and has way too much going on. Inside reads:

Rise up to fight the cootie invasion!

Some Licorice and a training sword along with the promise of teaching him how to use it.

Black licorice and some meat as well as a simple Valentines card.

A sweet love Letter
"I promise to be your lover, companion and friend,
Your partner in parenthood,
Your ally in conflict,
Your greatest fan and your toughest adversary.
Your comrade in adventure,
Your student and your teacher,
Your consolation in disappointment,
Your accomplice in mischief.
This is my sacred vow to you, my equal in all things. All things."

She will find pencils, pens, and a pocket knife stashed in her pockets.

Dear, My Dearest Step-Daughter Euphemia,

I hope you enjoy your day of love and capitalism with my daughter. I know this day, of all human holidays, is my favorite and likely my daughter's most hated.

Make it something special for her, won't you, Goddess of Love? It is a clever thing you two found each other. I hope this will help her to discover her truer nature and trust you will be there to lead her along the right path.

I can not wait until our next meeting.

Waiting with bated breath,
[Mark of Cupid's Court here]

A handmade gift basket filled with Valentine-themed brownie making supplies. A note says, "So we can spend time together and eat. My two favorite things!"

A custom made cape, a set of jewelry, and a large bouquet of flowers.

A crudely done card with shaky, chicken scratch handwriting inside.

i hate theez.

love jax. whatever

I am not a believer in holiday gift giving, but I will try for you.

In a large package is the makings of several handmade baby items for the twins. There is also the start of a scrapbook for them which Ceidwen has taken liberty in filling a little.

In a separate package is a hand-tailored dress that fits Mia perfectly and seems to bring out the qualities in her hair and eyes. It shimmers like fire in the light. A note is attached to it:

Hired a babysitter for the children and gave Charlene the day off. Dress up, we're going out tonight. It's a surprise where.

Overly glittered handmade card with all their names written on it. There are suggestions that Ceidwen helped some, but most of this is Ravvy's doing. Each baby's handprint is on the paper in different colors.

This is given with an attempt at breakfast in bed for Ceidwen in Mia. The breakfast is: overly filled cereal, toast, and peeled oranges.

Just a letter.

We both know I was never going to be your Prince Charming. Stop trying to hard, kid. Love yourself a little.

Will find black jelly beans hidden in a pocket.

A lopsided red construction paper heart decorated with red glitter and macaroni.

An envelope of money. A very good sum. There is a small note inside written from a typewriter:

Please get some sleep. You work too hard.

A bunch of flower buds in a box with an inordinate amount of glitter. A scrawled note at the bottom, barely legible through the glitter, reads, "Sorry I couldn't fix things with you and your sister. I hope things get better. I miss you."

Hey :D So... I don't know if this is really appropriate :/ But I wanted thank you for being amazing and thoughtful and so much of a friend. ^-^ I hope that some time I might be able to help you as much as you've helped me :)

-Emily ;3

Roses are red
violets are blue
it takes two to tango
so how about you?

A homemade card that is far too glittery and has way too much going on. Inside reads:

Rise up to fight the cootie invasion!

He just gets a normal boring card and candy

A handmade hat, woven from Dalia's silk. It's made to accommodate his horns and hair without getting caught on either.

A Valentine's card with a small box of chocolate accompanies a flash drive with a playlist of music that Koda thought Remi would like.

A box and inside is a small harp.

A framed picture of the two of them together, hanging out. A note on the back reads, "Thanks for being so cool, roomie. Love ya~"

A peony flower hand whittled out of a block of wood, delicately sanded and lacquered. There's also a box of chocolate and a standard type Valentine's Day Card that reads, "Ain't much, but I'm good with my hands. Happy Valentine's Day."

A soft, silky undergarment with matching panties. A single white lilly lies across the top.
Inside the panties is a folded note written in smudged ink in small, careful handwriting.
The paper smells faintly like sandalwood, whisky, and cigarettes.
Falling in love is like being struck by lightning.

It only happened once. Then you were taken care of,
your story was finished.

It happened once. Being struck was like being vaccinated;
the rest of your life you were immune,
you were warm and dry.

Unless the shock wasn't deep enough.
Then you weren't vaccinated, you were addicted.

A plate of NOT HEART SHAPED cookies, totally chill REGULAR circular cookies, with white icing. A note attached reads: “Thanks for always coming to the rescue. -SP”

Evan's sent a bottle of wine, accompanied by a small note:

"You should take the day off. If anyone in the family tries to give you shit, tell them you deserve it."

A box of heart(?)-shaped chocolates that are so badly made it's hard to tell if they're edible. A note is taped on the top saying, "I tried."

It's a decent amount of Valentines candy and human meat snacks in a cute basket.

Roses, chocolates, a sappy card. Ciara is giving you the full Valentine’s experience, Oma. But she also bought you a real fancy, sexy knife. You like knives, right? Of course you do. Who doesn’t like a fancy knife?
Cici didn’t include a card. Cards are stupid anyway.

[A package wrapped in fish leather. Inside is a Samson-handful of shark teeth and a handwritten note;]
I hunt the shark and I win.

It's a grab bag of space candy. Made by aliens.

A photo album of Malara and Jafar together since they came to Earth. The back of the album has a check to invest into the Asteria Club.
A letter also reads, "I just want to say that I love you and am proud of how you've absolutely blossomed here. I know I don't show it as well as I probably should. I know I'm really hard to deal with a lot of the time. But I do actually care, in my own crazy way."

Greetings. We meet before. I much like you. Future friends maybe? Not liking cards much. Rather talk to face. See you soon?

Happy Valentines Day! Thanks for getting me home. Here's a book that should be easy, but not Childish.

A bouquet of roses and a large box of artisan chocolates. A note with them reads, "I know this is a little old fashioned, but so am I. I'm like a school boy, stomach aflutter when I think of you."

[A bouquet of red and black licorice and a note;]
I love you. Let’s get married.

It's a rather well-made card... for printer paper stock. The penmanship looks sort of scribbly, but it's readable. I like you a latte.
On the front of the card is a surprisingly well-drawn coffee cup with a heart on the side.
On the back, a picture of a corn on the cob.
Sorry for being so "corny".

CANDY! Adelyn gave Alain a little gift bag full of candy and a few gift cards for his favorite places around town. Included was also a cute little card covered in little sticker pictures of the two of them together:

Alain,
Thank you for being the best <3
Love,
Adelyn

For Valentine’s Day, Isa got Alex these fancy pillows she kept telling him to get so that he won’t wake up with a stiff neck from his naps. She also included a card, short and sweet:

My Dear Alex,

May we always remain the ultimate power couple on this island.
Love,
Isa

A set of pictures from a picture both containing the two of them. Written on the back:

From your best friend forever. XoXo

A small zen garden type sculpture with a little Chinese-esque Dragon as the centerpiece, entrapped in different natural elements. Sam has left parchment folded underneath it with something written out in shaky, uncertain handwriting. It seems to be quoting poetry, perhaps from her world.

Beauty, Beauty
hold me Near
at your breast
where I can not fear.

Earth entrap me
our final beds
beneath a sea of stars
where we lie our heads.

A simple cut out Paper heart. It is written on with bright silver letters. "<3 You make me happier than a fat pony with a weak armed child. <3"

A literal picture of Audric scowling at a camera with a note that reads:

Tell me what the fuck to get you. You are the hardest person to get something for. The HARDEST.

A map of a graveyard with a location circled and a date and time written in the margins. If Iggy shows up at the appointed time, he will see a late night picnic set up with Alma.

Inside is a little handmade voodoo-looking doll with strange gems for eyes, a wacky stitched smile, and hair that looks eerily real. It holds a note that reads:

Is this the correct love day gifting?

A hand print on paper ((Who the hell helped her do this?))

A homemade card that is far too glittery and has way too much going on. Inside reads:

Rise up to fight the cootie invasion!

"Don't tell the others this, but I think you're one of the more normal ones to talk to. You're kind of mean though. >:("

"For old times sake"

[A handwritten note folded around a sand dollar;]
I give to you gift. If human emotions poison you I have for many shells to give. I see you not long time, but maybe soon.

"You're okay, I guess. You got better."

A simple, generic Valentine's card. Inside reads, "Sorry its nothing fancy. This is what you get on short notice, Golden Boy."

Delicate handmade fruit-infused lollipops. A note says, "It has made me so happy that you have stuck by me through everything. I am not always good with words, but I love you. Happy Valentine's Day."

[A bouquet of aromatic flowers tied with a ribbon of a familiar grey hue.]

Included is a nicely wrapped book on the history of Manta Carlos, and a small box of fancy chocolates. There's a note, but it just has Naoko's name, although there was certainly room for more to be written.

A small unicorn plushie with a messy drawing of Junchi hugging Kadasha taped to it. Underneath the drawing has surprisingly clean writing underneath saying,

"Happy Valentine's Day!

Love, Junchi Mei"

A small jar of homemade spice rub with a note saying, "Come over for a barbecue, hot stuff!"

A small box with a simple but beautiful wing shaped locket, with a picture Alex and Val together inside.

A small, thin book on astrology. A poem is written on her birth date, though the ink is smudged.
Other dates, including the date they first met, are underlined. Only one thing is included on the note:
I'm sorry.

There is a thick envelope full of money and a letter.

Uh, I don't really know what babies need, but I know it costs a lot of money. I hope this helps?

There's a Valentine's card and a coupon for a free spa day. The card has a handwritten section that reads, "I hope it isn't too uncool to get a Valentine from your sister. I love you though, Ariel. And I'm so proud of you. You're such a strong girl. Never let anyone tell you different.
-love, Brigid"

Chi’s gift to Cor isn’t appropriate to speak about in public, but she did write up a card that is safe to read:
Cor,
A holiday surrounding love? I can sure get behind that! I love you in a way that words cannot describe. You light up my life, and I can’t until we are calling either ‘wife’. I love you so much.
Love,
Your Little Chi

[A large dead fish]

A large bag of M&Ms with a note attached saying, "I should hate you, but I don't. Your hugs are nice too, I guess."

Old pictures of Phaedra and her sisters in a picture frame that was hand decorated. It's all very cheesy, but what did you expect?

Hey kiddo,

Remember this cute little thing? Man, you've changed so much in such a short time. I think I'll always see you like the picture above, though. I know things are tough, the way your body works and how a family can be sometimes, just try to remember you don't need to fall into any paths you don't want to. You have free will and all that sweet jazz.

You also have an awesome aunt who is always free to speak with you or hang if you need it.

A generic Valentine's card containing “nudes” of Eon in his cat form in various standard cat poses.

A box filled to the brim with loose M&Ms. Like, holy crap, a lot of M&Ms.

A selection of choice cuts of 'human' meat, all carved, cured, and smoked from Malara herself. A note in elaborate gold script reads, "Savor every bite, but there's always more where this came from. I love you."

Fancy flowers as well as her very own tailor made suit straight from pride hell. It is very comfy.

A simple card with elegant penmanship reads "Miss Juliet I know this may seem inappropriate, but I wanted to send you this card because living with you has been a wonderful adventure so far. Please don't think me too forward, but would you like to go with me on the cruise in a weekend?"

A dead rat with a ribbon tied around it, given in person. *Because that's what friends do, right?*

A framed photo of the two friends hanging out after a session of training together in their powers class.

A gold plated, serpent themed stethoscope and a large bouquet of flowers.

A box of chocolates and a set of dog tags with Saeta's credentials on them placed on Abi's grave, so they can 'match.' She sat curled up to it for a couple of hours, crying before she finally went home.

A single folded envelope that smells like cinnamon. The words are written in red ink and sealed with a kiss: Wherever you are, I miss you. If you are dead, I will stop at no ends to avenge you. if you are alive, you may well return to see your vengeance in progress.
