[ ...Oh, god damn it. After a bit of a delay... ]

Look, I don't know how to get gifts for other people, okay? This isn't a stupid no holiday spirit thing, I just haven't done this since I was a kid. I've gotten and given gift cards for years and I don't think that's an option here.

Please don't make me do this. Whatever I throw together, this person's going to have a lackluster Christmas anyway.

Yeah. A gift and a card. That's how presents work. Not seeing the issue.

Listen, would it help if I gave you a couple pointers?

<CheeryCherry>

[isawallflower]

[ It figures she actually admits what her issue is and it doesn't get across! It figures!! ]

No, gift cards, like a set amount of money to a specific place. They're a thing where I'm from.

Whatever. Fine.

<KrisKringle>

[getmeoutofthedraft]

What, like a coupon? You give each other coupons for Christmas?

I've gotta say, that's pretty tragic.

Anyway, she's from about my time, so I'm guessing she wouldn't know what one was even if you gave it to her. She's very elegant, so maybe jewellery or a nice hat? Or a bottle of wine never goes amiss. Or something stronger. And if all else fails, there's chocolate.

[ Yeah she is just not acknowledging that first part!!! ]

I thought monsters could only eat people. What good's wine or chocolate like that?

<KrisKringle>

[getmeoutofthedraft]

Correction: monsters can only sate their hunger by eating people. You can still eat for fun all you like.

Unless you wind up being a lich, in which case, anything that tastes less strong than coffee or tequila is really a waste of effort.

<CheeryCherry>

[isawallflower]

Oh. Being a lich sounds even worse than I thought, then.

Can you tell me where she lives? Or do I have to do some digging for that too?

<KrisKringle>

[getmeoutofthedraft]

Yeah, it's not the best.

I'd love to tell you where she lives, but I genuinely don't know. We've mostly met in passing.

<CheeryCherry>

[isawallflower]

Great.

Well I'll try but if I can't find her don't shove a lump of coal at me okay?

<KrisKringle>

[getmeoutofthedraft]

Pinky promise.
