[ There will be gifts in velvet pockets or wooden boxes, sealed with wax and left by the doors come this morning, from one Lucrezia Borgia. Early, yes, but the recipients will need time to bring the gifts to the intended. ]

Henry, a small apple tree in a pot with a note that says all the sweetness, for Morgana and an address.
Morgana, a box of perfumed eggs for someone named Henry, no address.

Alayne, a box with bejeweled renaissance shoes in pink, with a note that says for Penny and a room number.
Penny, a gilded hand mirror engraved with Medusa at the back, for someone named Alayne, no address.

Hellboy, a box containing a golden garland of olive leaves, for Galadriel and a room number.
Galadriel, a small box with a garnet rosary

Once-ler, a calico kitten with a collar spelling out Lucrezia, and a note that says for Joshua, and an address.
Joshua, a guitar case with a vihuela, for Once-ler, no address.

Zack, a note that says a lady's token for a tale, with a note for Elizabeth, and a room number.
Elizabeth, a ring and a note that says a tale for the Queen's token and the name Zack.

Ezio, a pearl and gold necklace in a box, and a note that says Lana.
Lana, a box with balance and a set of bronze weights, because every banker surely needs one, for Ezio.

South, a small glass locket in a box, for someone named Jenny, and a room number.
Jenny, a large box filled with an entire Italian renaissance outfit in violet, for someone named South.

Muraki, a painted and illuminated globe, for someone named Crowley.
Crowley, a cupid wineglass

Catelyn, a large collar gilded and embroidered, with a note that says for Nymeria.


[ ooc; don't feel obligated at all to have to pass the gifts along, do what your characters will~ feel free to use this post as a catch-all and tag yourselves in. ]
persequor: (needle.)

Locked to Mommy :')

I'm leaving now! Huh? [ Nymeria stops her from stepping on the objects outside the door. Arya bends to pick them up; Nymeria noses them. ] Stop that. Mother! This says it's for you!
assassino: (assassin ❧ but sister)

Lana

[Ezio opens up the box to see what it is, and then closes it. He flips the note around to see if there are any other instructions, but alas, there is nothing. What is this about? Was it delivered by mistake? It certainly isn't for him from Lana...]
fantasies: (emma ☼ and you can tell them your story;)

[ Morgana ]

[personal profile] fantasies 2012-12-21 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
[The apple tree is definitely not for him, he knows that much, which is more or less confirmed when he finds the tag that reads Morgana.

There's an address, too. Delivered by mistake? That's sad, the least he can do is make sure it gets to who's supposed to have it before Christmas.

Except, stranger danger. He knows better than to just waltz into town alone and knock on someone's door. So a filter first, naturally.

He writes, in his wobbly 10-year-old handwriting, to preserve the mystery. And also to be polite, but mostly the mystery.]


Hello!

I think somebody delivered something to me that was supposed to be for you. I can bring it somewhere for you, if you want.

Merry Christmas!

[He intentionally doesn't sign it. Mystery, and all.]
hellshaped: (what a life)

[Galadriel]

[The box is puzzling. It's not addressed to him so he doesn't open it -- did Lucrezia send him the wrong thing by mistake? He supposed it was possible.

Tucking the box under his arm, he glances at the note and the room number, then trudges his way down there and knocks on the door.]
bustered: (now that the world isn't ending)

[It's a curious thing, opening one's door to find a note on the doorstep -- especially curious in a place like Paradisa. Zack actually stares at the thing for a moment as if he expects it to jump up and bite, burst into flames, start a song-and-dance routine... or all three. But when it still remains an innocuous note after a few minutes, he finally bends down to pick it up. It turns out the note is actually two notes: one that seems a strange instruction, and another addressed to a person Zack doesn't know. There is, at least a room number, so Zack decides to forgo the breakfast he was going to grab in the kitchen and search for this Elizabeth person instead.

There will be a knock on the door when he makes it down to room six-twenty -- and he's at least waited long enough to not be bothering someone too early. When she does eventually open the door it will be to see a six-foot-plus SOLDIER on her doorstep, looking slightly awkward as he tries to figure out this whole game.

[The Once-ler, of course, misses the point of this exercise completely ]

Uh. I think you sent your Christmas present to the wrong place.

...At least I hope it was you because otherwise, I gotta warn you, someone is naming their cat after you.
ladywinter: (Side glance)

[personal profile] ladywinter 2012-12-21 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Does it? [And Catelyn will make her way over to investigate, leaning over Arya and peering at the packages.] And the other?
persequor: (watching.)

[personal profile] persequor 2012-12-21 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
It says for you to give to Nymeria.
inafadingcrown: (cool regard)

[Meanwhile, Galadriel has been puzzling over the box she had received. She had opened it to check inside, but the little piece of jewelry (or what she assumes to be jewelry) means nothing to her. It's pretty, but she suspects there's more significance to it than she understands.

When the knock comes, she answers the door, only to find someone she has never seen (for she's certain she would remember him!). But she's far too wise and far too old to judge based on appearances. There's a momentary pause and a widening of her eyes, but it doesn't last long.]


Hello. [Her expression is friendly enough, if somewhat quizzical.]
hellshaped: (say what)

[personal profile] hellshaped 2012-12-22 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh.

Another elf.

Hellboy stares back at her for a second, then realizes that's a bit rude and looks down at the box he's carrying.]


Er. This was at my door, from Lucrezia ... Galadriel?
madetosin: (undeathly pallor)

[Crowley; dictated]

[personal profile] madetosin 2012-12-22 09:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Muraki's first impulse is to pitch the charming little package out a window, but since it's from Lucrezia, he decides it's best to see it to it's proper recipient, in the likely event she asks after it.]

I seem to have a package that was intended for you.

[Though he doesn't really believe it's on accident, given that the ghosts aren't prone to mistakes unless directed specifically to perform them.]
onlyanapple: (Snake!sleep)

[personal profile] onlyanapple 2012-12-22 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's snoring on the other side of the journal.

Do snakes snore?

Apparently this one does

whichwayyoulean: (Oh here comes the mob)

Lucrezia

[personal profile] whichwayyoulean 2012-12-23 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I kind of figured. [PAUSE] Uh. You want to come and get it?
scinlae: ( morgan le fay ─ madison cawein ) (now i shall reign in blood)

[ FILTER!! ] what a mystery

[personal profile] scinlae 2012-12-24 08:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ What a little rascal.

She had stared at the eggs for some time as if trying to solve a complicated puzzle, only to be distracted by her journal and the wobbly writing of a child. What sort of game is being played here? It takes her a few moments of staring and contemplation before she puts pen to paper to respond: ]


I would appreciate it greatly, you have my thanks.
inafadingcrown: (soft as moonlight)

[personal profile] inafadingcrown 2012-12-24 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[She gives a little nod. That's her.] I received a similar package- one I assume was meant for you. [A slight smile] I believe our mutual friend wished for us to meet.
ladywinter: (Counsel by candlelight)

[personal profile] ladywinter 2012-12-24 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Huh. That's rather unexpected.]

Shall we open them?
persequor: (laugh.)

[personal profile] persequor 2012-12-24 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Arya gives her the one meant for her and tears into the one for Nymeria. She holds up the collar. Nymeria takes one look at it and runs into Arya's room. Arya laughs. ]
whichwayyoulean: (Not going to repeat it)

Lucrezia

[personal profile] whichwayyoulean 2012-12-24 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, they would if you to it to them yourself.

You know, with your walking out of your room and everything.
whichwayyoulean: (Leaned the wrong way)

Lucrezia

[personal profile] whichwayyoulean 2012-12-25 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
[And given the nature of the castle and the residents within it, he doesn't have much trouble believing that]

...Really?

He's not dangerous or anything is he? [Lulu did you send me a present for a serial killer]
fantasies: (so write it all and don't forget;)

[ Morgana ] HE IS THE MOST MYSTERIOUS

[personal profile] fantasies 2012-12-25 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
[It's the game of Christmas, Morgana!!

She sounds nice enough. Henry waits a second before he writes another note.]


Where should I bring it?

[Just to see if it's somewhere different than the address he has.]
hellshaped: (what a life)

[personal profile] hellshaped 2012-12-25 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
[He restrains himself from smiling because that sometimes sets people on edge, so the corners of his mouth twitch a bit instead. He holds the box out.]

That sounds like Lucrezia, alright.
