FireScyther Posts: 17 11/28/2015	Dear "Whatever you may be" Optimatum I would not mind sharing a few surprise packages over the month of December. This is assuming you have not found a replacement partner yet. Nonetheless, I will still send my current gift over as a sign of good faith. May it contain all you ever hoped, but odds are it will not (but that is the nature of the risky game we play). Sincerely, FireScyther Package 1: Contained the corpses of rats, oddly stuffed with diamonds Package 2: 196 Stolen Correspondence and 1 Touching Love Story Package 3: 1 Broken Giant, 2 Strangling Willow, 2 Greyfields 1879 Package 4: 3 Collated Research Package 5: Muscaria Brandy Package 6: 6 (Totally Legal) Street Signs and 1 Proscribed Material (which this and any future ones will be returned to a certain master) Package 7: 3 (Totally Legal) Street Signs and 1 Proscribed Material Package 8: Muscaria Brandy Package 9: Muscaria Brandy Package 10: Muscaria Brandy (I know I spend too much time with the devils for someone who still has a soul, but do they have to be so blunt about it) Package 11: 5 Collated Research Package 12: 759 Cryptic Clues http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/FireScyther edited by FireScyther on 11/29/2015 edited by FireScyther on 12/16/2015 edited by FireScyther on 12/17/2015 edited by FireScyther on 12/21/2015 edited by FireScyther on 1/2/2016 -- FireScyther

Cimanyd Posts: 38 11/29/2015	Shalinoth wrote: Slightly off-topic, but good news perhaps? I just received a surprise package from someone as their way of saying thanks for my menacing Hallowmas help.. and it contained a Blemmigan Secretary! Jackpot for my Jack! So yes, the regular gift boxes can give you an Oddities value of 1008. Worth noting, it lets you decide whether you want "Something bloodstained..." or "Something... Purple?". Obviously, take the purple! I just got one from suhe gul! The "Something... purple?" option is locked if you already have a Blemmigan Secretary, meaning you can only ever get one, and that must be why you have another option to choose from. If you get the necessary number again, you'll just get the normal "Something bloodstained" option, and unless they didn't hide the purple option when you already have it, you'd never know. (unless you check the exact number on your mantelpiece) -- Cimanyd, the Northbound Correspondent "There are some things we were not meant to know, they say. But you wouldn't be down here if you took that seriously."

Suhe Gul Posts: 200 11/29/2015	I was too lucky today as I wrote in celebrating good fortune thread, I decided to open my boxes. I was hoping for a secretary, a soul or a cat but I think my luck run out. Results were good but not awesome. I put two results from the packages from cimanyd. I can put my whole spread shit if anyone is curious, it is currently 20 something results. -- http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/suhe%20gul I am open to social actions except affluent photographer and loitering.

Danko Posts: 142 11/30/2015	Hello there! After being saddened by skipping so much Gift cards I would now like to enter in a long-term gift-trading agreement with someone. Here are the (most cynically pragmatic) terms I propose: 1) Every time the side draws The Gift card, it will send another side an unexpected gift package for 10 Echoes. 2) The purpose of the agreement is to trade as much gifts as possible while maintaining 1:1 gift ratio. 3) The agreement lasts until 01.01.2016 and can be prolonged after this date if both sides are satisfied with eachother. 4) Each side shall keep a count of gifts sent and received. If by the end of the agreement one side has sent more gifts than the other, the other side must send the remaining gifts during the next month until the sides are even. 5) The sides kindly confirm that they posess and are willing to spend enough echoes to send as much gifts as possible, and are willing to communicate via forum private messages or email. So, if anyone is interested and considers those terms appropriate, please drop me a message or respond below? Needless to say, one must be a POSI with enough echoes to spend to send every possible gift. I have a gift card right now that I'll send immediately to cement our agreement. edited by Danko on 11/30/2015 edited by Danko on 11/30/2015 -- http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/Danko
