The owl brings a package with a small stuffed bear inside. Attached is a note:
Rhi,
People like us need hugs and alcohol cake if we're being honest and there aren't always people around to give them. Most of them aren't very soft either. I know I've got weird bony shoulders. This thing is soft. Plus the lady who made it said several spells for happiness and prosperity and shit over it. Can't hurt, right? I just wasn't sure how big to make it. See me when we get back and I'll make it perfect for you.
R
The owl brings several vintage books of piano music, including one of romantic ballads.
Jackson,
I almost bought you handcuffs but then thought better of it. jk I bought you handcuffs, you can come get them if you wanted them, I just figured you wouldn't want to open that one in front of the family. I'm considerate, ain't I.
You always take care of mine, here's me taking care of yours. To happiness and health etc in the new year.
R
The owl brings several books on feminist theory.
Ma Belle,
I figured this was about up your alley. This also comes with the promise of some healthy (or, well, as healthy as I can manage) debate. Or at least the offer. I can also offer friendly discussion. I'd say we should start a feminist bookclub but that sounds like effort and I think we all know that I don't do well with that.
R
The owl brings a hand-knit red sweater, as well as a hat and scarf in Ravenclaw colors.
Mon amour
Mon ange,
These are fair trade wool from a farm that rescues abused animals, knit by a collective of women supporting themselves after having lived on the streets. Nice ladies, all of them are hilarious. Especially Karen, she's 100. I showed her your picture and she said you were a dish and that I'm crazy not to have told you how I feel. You have yourself a new admirer. Also she slapped my ass like six times. She hits hard.
I'm sorry that
I just want to
I apologize that I
I know I haven't been around like I should have, I'm just...working through some things. It's a hard year, you know? Just, know that whatever you do or wherever you go or whyever you get arrested again, I'll be by your side for as long as you'll have you. Although Papa says I have to stop punching police officers. The "he was harassing me because I'm brown" excuse only goes so far.
I love you, always and forever, Rene
The owl delivers a top of the line broom.
Meru,
I checked with the ref (how convenient that it's your brother) and this should be legal in games. Have to have our captain without distractions, after all.
R
The owl delivers several kinds of high quality chocolate.
Battye,
Treat him well.
The owl delivers high quality oil paint and brushes.
Miss Lia,
Passion and talent are what take you farthest in art, but nice paints only help. I hope to see some beautiful art from you in the new year. And perhaps a smile at this humble present.
R
The owl delivers a handle of nice whiskey and every brand of cigarettes the store had.
Gabe,
I forgot what you smoked (I'm assuming the answer might be 'anything' but hey) so I had to improvise. Don't smoke them all at once. Or if you do call me so I can film your death for YouTube.
