Charlie: Initially she'd nabbed him a pair of expensive patent leather derby shoes, but those were lost in the bombing so as a substitute he gets about as fine a shearling coat as Exsilium can currently manage. The stitch work is all right, the tailoring's fine, but the material isn't exactly woolly lamb soft and sits somewhat heavy over skin. It comes with a bottle of carefully brewed lager ( nuclear winter it may be, but with eco domes at their disposal it's possible to get a bottle or two of stuff that doesn't taste like the wrong end of a yak) and a small, flat, uneven bar-like portion of reworked scrap from the moonbase no larger than the flat of his palm.
Koltira: One set of studded leather winter gloves, made from ???? animal(?). The studs are sturdy enough to last despite the quality of the materials being-- or feeling-- slightly off, so that he can still look imposing whilst typing without the problem of massive gauntlets getting in the way. Also when he's in his civvies he won't have to worry about laying his cold hands on someone and having them comment on it. Once she's capable of moving about through time freely, he'll also find himself the proud new parent of a beautiful bottle of top shelf scotch.
Victor: One bangle from ancient Egypt made of pure gold. Buy yourself that bar, or whatever other space you might want. It comes with a bottle of fine lager and one of the 5-yen coins from their card game that she may or may not have borrowed. It also comes with the condition that she gets a prime bit of space at his eventual bar/ home/ brothel/ etc for sitting and drinking and shooting the shit.
Nate: A digital compilation of every message shared between them over the course of the past year+ with an obligatory bottle of somewhat decent beer. There's a note attached that reads 'happy christmas you wanker -C'
Seviilia: A very fine skinning knife with an attached note about how well things are going with Charlie and herself. A few blank sheets plus pen are included for a return letter should she feel up to the task.
Tempest: Set of patent leather snow boots made of...something that was formerly alive. They're not a bad set, not by a long shot, but for all the care spent making them look nice they're lacking the high end craftsmanship found in most modern pairs. Still, they're remarkably stylish, if nothing else.
Maria: A carefully carved knife made from mammoth tusk and local hammered metal. The box it comes with is well carved, but poorly lacquered; a few spots lack polish entirely. The top sports a simplified etching of the middle pillar symbol used by the mutineers.
Bond: Makeshift wooden cufflinks hobbled together from polished wood and a pair of earrings. It might not look sturdy in any sense of the word, but it'll outlast more than a few fire fights if put to the test. Obligatory bottle of decent ale goes here.
Luke: One yeti fur blanket with a lined underbelly. Excellent needlework, and the seams ought to last a good bit of wear and tear, not to mention stress. The fur itself, though, feels a bit gritty... As is the norm at this point, Luke also receives a decent lager.
Ryoji: A single, simple leather hip holster made out of questionable materials. It works to hide a small to medium sized gun if properly latched on, despite the fact that it's somewhat ill fitted and the snap hangs a bit loose. Tucked inside is a folded note that reads: 'to watch your back, double agent'.
Syllona: A handful of bright violet, winter-blooming panises tucked away and pressed into an envelope with one carved egyptian scarab. The handwriting on the front says 'from a friend'.
Ziio: One bottle of the finest local spirits, neatly wrapped and left anonymously on her doorstep.
Altaïr: A twin knife matching Maria's; the tusk used to comprise the handle is dyed jet black in contrast. The box holding it, however, is the same. Underneath the knife is a note reading: 'thanks for the hotpocket'.
Helena: Belated gift given after Helena's return; a fur lined winter scarf made out of the usual suspect materials of current Exsilium. The letter attached carries the promise of a sweater purchase if warmer clothing is not picked up soon.
Dick: One of the spare mutineer radios with written instructions to keep or distribute the valuable tech to whomever needs it the most as a means to assist with rebuilding their currently depleted resources.
Giovanni: A metalworking kit and a (stolen) book on how to handle building materials/ projects with a hand drawn smiley face on the front page.
Roy: Decent local lager, anonymously delivered to his current home. Such great delivery service!
Johnny D'Amico: Leather rucksack for either gathering supplies on missions in the past or in current Exsilium. Some of the buckles stick, but it's nothing a little oil or elbowgrease won't fix.
Hawke: The best local cheese egyptian gold can buy. Delivered, respectfully, in person. Try not to think about the occasional grittiness.
Sonya: Chloe's spare gun, her Para-Ordinance, picked up and held onto for nearly a year now (she still has her Defender and an M-9, she's doing well enough to pass out a freebie). Tacked on is a spare bottle of solid lager.
Martin: One set of cooking utensils, dropped off at Koltira's shoddy little 'cabin' in the woods.
Feferi: A blank, pressed linen journal with the words 'Ideas for Exsilium' messily penned in across the cover beside a few dried splashes of beer.
Ashraf: A rock. A dirty, mangled, chip-edged rock.
Loki: One set of shoddy bobby pins plus hand written instructions detailing how to pick locks with them.
Saul: The gift of no harassment from her, good for exactly (and only) one day in exchange for the kindness shown to her in prison.
Vanozza: One finely crafted Egyptian scroll and one box of condoms. Extra strength.
