While I was doing some research in the City's library, I heard a bit about the festival coming up at the end of the month.

Modranicht is Deceuer 26th and it has a few nice traditions.

But one thing really caught my attention. Apparently it's a time known for gift-giving. So I thought it would be nice to plan something for the house-- since there are so many of us, I thought we could do a random drawing and prepare a gift for that person in secret. There's an element of surprise and it saves everyone from having to worry about so many gifts.

I thought this would be a fun way to join in on the tradition. What do you guys think?

Sounds like my kind of fun!

I thought you might like it.

They did say there's a special significance about making a gift for someone yourself, but it's not a requirement.

That sounds sappy.

You're terrible.
It's just a little extra bit of thoughtfulness.

You already knew that~!
Anyway, I'm definitely up for secret gift exchanges.

You're right. I did.
Good to have you on board. Just

Please try to keep it tasteful. I'd like to open them all together.

That sounds like a really nice idea Towa!

I wouldn't mind doing it.

It's not like anything back home, so I thought it would be fun to chime in.

Plus, the more time the better, right? I figured we could draw names out of a box or something like that to decide.

Yeah! I don't mind any excuse that lets me treat a friend.

That'll work. Everyone buying presents for everyone would probably hurt our wallets a lot.

This way, no one gets left out and we're not spending so much that the house's expenses doing suffer for it.

That way we can all eat a nice meal together too and maybe do a light bit of festive decorating.

[Not party level of decorating. BABY decorating.]

Good thinking. Something lowkey would be ideal considering what's coming ... after.

Ahaha yeah. But I wouldn't mind going a little extra on a really nice meal for all of us to eat together.

That sounds like a good idea. I'm in.

Are there any specific guidelines on what kind of gift to give? Or what kind of gift to not give, I guess?

[ Look, this cast has some Characters (TM), okay. ]

[Looks up at Crow's taunting--]

Just ask yourself whether or not it's a gift Crow would give. I think that's a safe rule to go by. If it is don't do it.

No gifts Crow would give? Got it.

I just felt a wave of dread wash over me reading that.

I'm sure it's fine...

[Randy is the "better" delinquent... right...?]

[ That is EXACTLY what he wanted to hear, and now it's officially in writing (text? whatever) for all to see. Perfect~ ]

Understood. Thank you, Towa.

I think this will be pretty fun, actually.

Somehow, I'm feeling very picked on.

I'm sure if you ask yourself why I might say that you'll know the answer.

Let the record show that YOU brought up the idea of inappropriate gifts first.

I'm glad you like it.

But yeah, don't worry, I thought about that too.
I'll keep an eye on Crow if you keep an eye on Randy.

Deal.
