CHRISTMAS 2012 CAST GIFTS
ERIDAN AMPORA: Mystic Water + a t-shirt with the phrase "That's so [Tentacruel]!" across the front, where [Tentacruel] is an image of a Tentacruel (yeah, sorry, Eridan), along with the following note:
hi eridan!
and also merry christmas!!
i hope this gets to you in time and not too soon
anyway this water gem is special!
i found it in the ruins of alph while exploring
basically it seems to power up any water-type move by a significant amount when held by pokemon
so i have no doubt you will find some use for it :)
the shirt is just because i saw it and it had a water pokemon
anyway i hope you have a nice human holiday
also please avoid killing santa claus

SOLLUX CAPTOR: A set of minun & plusle patterned pajamas of the warm winter variety + a t-shirt with the phrase "A clever [Combee]-nation!" across the front, where [Combee] is an image of a Combee, along with the following note:
so i was reading up on electric types
and minun and plusle are basically your theme pokebeasts ive decided
i couldnt find any eggs for them or you may have gotten actual pokebeasts
maybe next christmas!!
combee is your other theme pokemon
because you are a theme hog :p
happy human christmas sollux
:)
much better than 0u0 right?
im really glad you came back to goldenrod for christmas
just so you know
-aradia
JANE CROCKER: A t-shirt that reads "Seems [Chansey] to me" across the front, where [Chansey] is an image of a Chansey + a portable cookware set with all the basics in blue plastic & metal, which folds up neatly for storage. If Jane looks inside the set itself she will find a neat little packet of photographs tucked away; they range in date from Nov. 29th to Dec. 12th, and are mainly shots of Roxy, Jane, Jake and various combinations thereof. Aradia bought herself a camera on the 29th, okay. Also included is a note:
merry christmas jane!
we dont know one another too well yet
but hopefully that will change in the new year
which i am told is happening basically right after this!
thank you for the ongoing cooking lessons in human cuisine
theyre enlightening and delightful!
im looking forward to all our future travels together :)
-aradia
JOHN EGBERT: The book "Magic Tricks for the Pokemon Trainer" (Volume 1) which entails a bunch of cool magic tricks that can be done with the help of various pokemon assistants + 2 t-shirts, 1 of which reads "[Abra Kadabra Alakazam]!" across the front and the other of which reads "Not gonna [Raichu] a love song" where each word has the associated pokemon directly above it. The second shirt makes more sense with Rose's pungift. Also included is a note:
merry christmas john!
the section on ghost pokemon is pretty big
as is the one on psychics but ghost pokemon are obviously the main point here
i think most of the tricks are pretty good for more than impressing people
by which i mean scaring people and tricking them
which i am inclined to think you will find a use for!
so have fun with that
-aradia
JAKE ENGLISH: A Frozen Rock + a t-shirt that reads "So Near, Yet So [Farfetch'd]" across the front, where the bracketed pokemon is an image + a bag full of peanut-free cookies made after lessons with Jane, inside which is also a neat little packet of photographs tucked away; they range in date from Nov. 29th to Dec. 12th, and are mainly shots of Roxy, Jane, Jake and various combinations thereof. Aradia bought herself a camera on the 29th, okay. There is also the following note:
hey jake!
heres the other part of your glaceon plan
and also baked goods i made
i expect i have already told you merry christmas by the time you read this
but all the same merry christmas! :D
adventuring with you has been really fun so far
thank you very much for having me
-aradia
JADE HARLEY: Okay, she found you a pun-shirt, Jade! But it's not space-related, it's just something she finds cute. The t-shirt reads "What's [Happiny]-ing?" across the front, where [Happiny] is a picture of the pokemon. The less ridiculous part of the gift is a book on Clefairy-related legends and pictures. Also included is a short note:
merry christmas jade!
no signs that the clefairy played a computer game before they got on those meteors
but youd better read this to be sure!!
in case that wasnt clear im joking :p
anyway i hope your day goes really well!
-aradia
MOM LALONDE: This is a case of "well I got presents for everyone else at this get-together and I should probably get something for all the new people to". She's. Not sure what Mom Lalonde would like, so Aradia got her a snivy pokedoll and then copies of some of her more useful breeding/eggcare notes. After thinking about it some more, she added a picture or two from the travels from Violet to Goldenrod, i.e. any shot she could find with Rose in it. Also included is a short note:
merry christmas miss lalonde!
-aradia
ROSE LALONDE: Another pun shirt, of course! This one makes semi-more sense when compared to one of John's gifts. This t-shirt reads "I [rotom] a love song" across the front, where the bracketed word is the associated pokemon. She also got Rose a set of eeveelution-themed notebooks on the grounds that one can never have too many notebooks (and further on the grounds that she's less confident in being able to guesstimate a book Rose hasn't happened upon). In the top notebook of the stack Rose will find a neat little packet of photographs, ranging in date from November 29th to the mixed groups' arrival at Goldenrod, i.e. Roxy's departure date. Aradia bought herself a camera back on the 29th, and got any Roxy photographs printed out (as well as any other shots she thought Rose might enjoy). There is also a note:
merry christmas rose!
this month is very present oriented for you isnt it
anyway
i hope you have a really wondeful time
and although i will likely say this all to you again
thank you for all your advice and help so far :)
-aradia
KANAYA MARYAM: A t-shirt that reads "There's no [Shaymin] looking good" across the front, where [Shaymin] is an image of the pokemon. There's also a (bought!) green knit hat/gloves/scarf combo, as simple as Aradia coud find because she's really not sure about fashion on Kanaya's level but she does think Kanaya needs to bundle up. She's also included a brief note:
merry christmas kanaya!
im glad youre here now
and if theres anything i can do to help out let me know
breeders have to stick together after all :p
-aradia
GAMZEE MAKARA: A t-shirt that reads "Don't [Jynx] it" across the front, where [Jynx] is an image of the pokemon + a Mr. Mime pokemon doll. Aradia figured clowns + cute shirt = profit, right? She's also included a very brief note:
merry christmas gamzee!
-aradia
BRO STRIDER: Aradia really doesn't get this guy, but again, everyone else got presents so she felt obligated, and he seems nice? A knit scarf/hat/gloves combo (bought, obviously) in red, one or two pictures of Dave from the trip to Goldenrod from Violet if Aradia managed to catch him in any, and a short note:
merry christmas bro!
-aradia
DAVE STRIDER: Another pun t-shirt, of course! Across the front it reads "I [Luvdisc]-o" where [Luvdisc] is an image of the pokemon. Aradia has no idea if the shirt is being factual in Dave's case or not, but. Also included is a book of Pokemon-themed poetry in the forms nearest "slam poetry" she could manage, and a short note:
merry christmas dave!
i had to check a lot of books
because apparently there is a lot of bad pokemon poetry
but i thought this one was pretty good
maybe it will inspire you or something!!
and if not at least you will have a rad book of poetry
im allowed to use the word rad yes
-aradia
DIRK STRIDER: This was a quickly-bought gift because he just showed up and Aradia knows nothing about Dirk, but she would have felt weird not getting a present for everyone at the huge cast get-together, so Dirk gets a lopunny pokedoll, because Aradia is vaguely aware he has something to do with rabbits?? That's a thing? She also got another set of her collection of photographs from the 29th of November to the 12th of December printed out, which feature various combos of Jake, Jane, Roxy and their pokemon, as well as anyone who happened to get in the shot. His note is fairly short because, again, NO CLUE:
merry christmas dirk!
-aradia
KARKAT VANTAS: Two t-shirts (HOW LUCKY RIGHT?): 1 reads "Judge, Jury and [Exeggcute]-tioner" and the other reads "This is [Onix]-ceptable", where the bracketed pokemon names are images of the pokemon themselves. At least she held off from getting him the obvious Crabby pun shit, okay. Also included is a bag of peanut-free cookies made in lessons with Jane! And, of course, a note:
merry christmas karkat!
in addition to the shirts and cookies
i am giving you a sort of coupon!
someday when i start breeding pokemon
if there is an egg you particularly want
you may have it completely free
first dibs and everything
(im not really sure what pokemon you have or want so)
-aradia
EQUIUS ZAHHAK: A t-shirt with the phrase "I'll drop you with [Machop]!" across the front, where [Machop] is an image of Machop + a ponyta pokedoll. He...likes horses, right? And strong stuff? This is spot-on for his interests, right? There's also a really short note:
merry christmas equius!
-aradia
CHRISTMAS 2012 NON-CAST GIFTS
MISAKI ASOU: A chansey pokedoll along with a chansey-themed knit hat, gloves, and scarf set. Also a short note:
merry christmas misaki!
i thought these were cute so
-aradia
HAYATE AYASAKI: A bag of peanut-free cookies made in lessons with Jane! There is also a short note:
merry christmas hayate!
thank you for the snacks that time
i hope these are adequate
-aradia
CHERIA BARNES: A lapras pokedoll and a short note:
merry christmas cheria!
just in case fionna misses lapis lazuli ever
thats her babys name by the way
ll or elle for short :D
-aradia
YAGYUU HIROSHI: An espeon themed knit hat/gloves/scarf set, a photograph of a newly hatched baby bulbasaur playing with a petilil and a cherrim, and a short note:
merry christmas yagyuu!
this is a picture of jasper playing with peridot and cherry
i thought you might like it
be sure to keep warm!
-aradia
RAVEN: A swablu themed knit hat/gloves/scarf set and a short note:
merry christmas raven!
try to keep yourself warm okay??
-aradia
CARMEN SANDIEGO: A copy of Around The World In 80 Days - Pokemonstyle! While the title remains the same, the contents differ. The setting is in the Pokemon world, which is geographically very different, and there obviously aren't any world-spanning train tracks; instead the story is set when the fossil pokemon Aerodactyl was found, and that is the "new thing" that the inventor believes will get around the world in 80 days - that or a flying contraption based on the fossil pokemon. There are many plot similarities, but pokemonified. Also included is a short note:
merry christmas carmen!
i managed to track down copies of the titles you told me
surprisingly they had not changed although the author had
i thought you might like to see this version of mr jules vernes works so here you are
i particularly enjoyed this one
-aradia
VANITAS: A t-shirt that reads "You asked [Furret]!" across the front, where [Furret] is an image of the pokemon + a book on Tyranitar mating habits. Also included is a short note:
hope this helps with darts problem
also merry christmas!!!
