Because this game is massive, and even if every character just sent ONE package to anyone, it would end up being so many posts that it would overrun the game. So to save our friends lists from imploding, we the moderators are asking that you fill out this form and reply HERE. It'll make it easier to find (Control-F is a lovely thing!) and we won't have to abuse our scroll button. Here's how we're going to do it. You will post for one character with everything that they got for their friends/family/etc. Make sure to tag your character and all the characters that yours gave gifts to as soon as you get their information up! In recognition of the time it can take to determine IC gifts, (properly tagged) gifts can count as a piece of activity for the gifting character for the month of December. <b>Character name:</b> Name! <b>GIFTS:</b> • <b>Giftee:</b> Present. • <b>Giftee:</b> Present. • <b>Giftee:</b> Present. • <b>Giftee:</b> Present. • <b>Giftee:</b> Present.

Ah yes, let's see if I've got it right: a magical blue crystal that no one quite understands has the ability to, when it pleases, pick us up from our universe - place - time - or what have you and bring us here to live harmoniously in a shiny castle in an industrious city.

How absolutely quaint, and terrifying - though not necessarily in that order.

I've been told there might be some in this tower I know! Where are you then? I hope you're friends -- and if you aren't and I've somehow wronged you, Venhedis - I'm sure it was with good reason. I'm joking, of course, and rather badly at that. Do forgive me.

And to the rest, I extend both greetings and introductions. Hello, I am Dorian of House Pavus of Qarinus in the Tevinter Imperium. Might as well just grab that bull by its -- er - Just to get that out of the way.

I hope you are all currently less confused than I.

There are so many colors.

As odd as this world is and as much as I do need to [...] adjust there are benefits. The technology keeps astounding me, so much like magic yet not, and the constant hot water is something that I've come to very much enjoy. And then there's the vast array of information right here, at my fingertips. Certainly things I wish I'd had before.

There are a few things I miss, and some people, but the good outweighs the bad.

(OOC: some Inquisition spoilers, mostly the 'Well, Shit' sidequest for Varric. And some Trespasser)

Something howls.

My dinner is so cute I don't know if I should eat it, or protect it at all costs.

Oooh oooh, I traveled to another dimension again! Super exciting, though it was a pretty small place. I found all the differences between photos and made a fort from lightly cushioned chairs. Aaaaand I read parts of most the magazines, but really I spent the most time building a fort. I'd go back there with my reading assignments, but I have no idea where the portalmaster went.

I think I've taught the spheals a trick! Does anyone want to see? It's like synchronized swimming and it's BEAUTIFUL!

One of them made it snow a little. I think they like it cool. Can we make the water in the pool cold? Does anyone have powers like that?

I like not remembering. I was better person and not monster.

[Friends of Helena]

You are all all right, yes?

I was given an invitation to attend a gathering, this convention. I was told that I would be a guest of honor, that I would be speaking to 'fans'. Then I was rudely awoken before dawn, stuck inside a horrible, loud beast that I'm fairly certain is some breed of dragon, and deposited in some place called San Diego.

Fasta vass, I have nearly set half a dozen people aflame today. I do not know if these people are truly abominations or in costume as my guide has tried to explain.

This is not what I was expecting when I was invited to a gathering.

I do not know who is behind this badly planned, poor idea of a joke, but I was in the middle of something important. And I would be most pleased if you would return me before someone, namely The Bull, claims my part of the spoils.

Of course, they tell me the Inquisitor is here. It is telling that she would be involved in this mess.

The spirits of this world are so different.

I've never met one of boxes before.

There are good people here. They promised a bed, coin, Anders, some possessions, and something called running water. And the last one isn't a form of magic. While I haven't seen Anders yet, there is a bed, possessions, and the ability to purchase something, food in this case. So I shall take their word on the water. Greetings, citizens of New York, I hope York did not come to a bad end. My name is Hawke.

[Filtered to the Inquisition]

The tesseract has given me a most curious gift - the orb Corypheus possessed. Intact, though lacking much of the power you reported him using with it, Inquisitor. I am rather pleased to have it and I shall be studying it intensely, should you wish to know my plans for it.

It feels weird knowin' that Simon and River ain't across the hall.

I can't hear Beth anymore.

It hurts. She wasn't supposed to leave.

Embezzlement scams? In construction? In New York City, of all places!
Goodness, gracious. Now I think I've seen everything. I am so utterly shocked, I can't contain even an ounce of my surprise.

[Violet Parr]

Hello, Violet Parr. My name is Sue Ri Storm. And I wanted to take a second to say hi, and welcome you to this crazy place.

[Faith Lehane + Kitty Pryde]

So, I've heard you two are the latest recruits for the PTYC.

I'm Sue, one of the co-directors here, and I'd love to get to know both of you better. Maybe we can talk about ideas for the centre of things you'd both like to do here. The experiences you'd like to take away from this kind of a place, you know. That stuff.

This isn't a job interview or anything. It's just we're a small staff, so I feel like it's a good idea that we all get to know each other.

Greetings. This is singular place and arriving here was a singular experience. I am Solas and I have been told this machine will allow me to communicate with others here.
