”Happy...happy holidays, all. Kindly contribution from the palaces. Please, please c’mere an’ take f’is stuff so I kin go ‘ome...please.”
A rather peevish-looking Bipedal Rat stands on the corner of the west end of the Capital, ringing a small bell. He rolls his eyes as he continues the call, his lashing tail and curled lip belying his irritation with the task. Neck hunched into his day watch uniform and fur puffing out under the jacket.
”Feck f’is, Fai’ff...” He muttered under his breath, stamping his feet lightly and hugging himself tightly as a Sorgaire Skunk skittered off with one of the favors. ”S’not like I actually meant f’at, you jus’ take everyfin’ personally... S’not like my friends at all, cripes...even Geoffrey said you was bein’ a bitch...”
The large basket he stands next to swings lightly in the chill breeze, small, weighted envelopes tucked inside.
As you approach, he’ll hand you one with a nod of thanks from the Capital Police force and the Courts...just try not to mock the neon orange scarf, it was the only one in the lost and found bin to borrow this week. <3

RESULTS!!!!!
Lucca, Blue, Harps:
Vial of Spearmint Schnapps: Wow! This vial is awfully tiny, but that is quite a strong smell...surprisingly pleasant too. Heh, cheers! When drunk, it gives the SD the ability to, once a week, cause one other SD ranked 7 or lower to be able to smell only the schnapps for a full minute, regardless of any spells they may have to block it out or improve their sense of smell until the minute has passed. Using it can give the owner a 25% chance of having something strange happen to any potential children they might have.
Kitty:
Small, Green Pinecone: This exceptionally tiny pinecone is no bigger than a thumbnail. When held it will dissolve into the holder’s palm. Once a week, they will now be able to summon up a small, pelting hail of pinecones for a full minute. The pinecones will not affect the caster, and will rain around them in a 50 foot circle and move with them as they do. The pinecones are hard and sharp and very distracting.
Ku, Trebias:
Thin needle: This little needle has an emerald embedded in the eye! Nice! Makes it difficult to actually use though...bummer. When held, however, it is impossible not to prick yourself once. Once pricked, the SD will now find themselves able to, once a week, make it appear as though they actually had emeralds for eyes for a full minute. While this spell is in effect, any spell having to do with eyes, or sight will not affect them until the minute has gone by.
Yuiven, Varde, Nako:
Tiny Gold Halo: This little halo is about the size of a Human’s hand with fingers spread. When placed on, it will hover lightly over the owners’ head for one hour a day, then vanish. During this one hour a day, they will find themselves to be rather lucky. Not unbearably so, but far more than before. Once a week, it will ensure that they win at least one bet.
Bee:
Small Satin Bow: This gold, satin bow is very pretty and soft. When worn, it allows the owner to cast a small spell that causes Cards ranked 7 and lower to feel perfectly safe and at home around them for a full minute. They still might not believe an obvious lie, or stand for being hurt, but they will be perfectly comfortable with almost anything the caster says or does. Using it can give the owner a 25% chance of having something strange happen to any potential children they might have.
Dark:
Five Golden Rings: These five rings tingle a little when touched and give off a faint glow when placed on for a moment. Once a week, they will allow the wearer to cast a small spell. This spell allows the caster to cause one other SD, ranked 7 or lower, to see the entire world through a thick, gold haze for a full minute. This haze is rather stiflingly thick and does impede their vision enough to confuse them easily.
Chickendino, Kari, Greenie:
Velvet Gloves: These red velvet gloves are fingerless and rather dashing looking. Once placed on, they allow the wearer to summon a long, red sled once a day. This sled, like normal ones, can only travel over snow...but when it does it follows the riders directions to a tee and goes rather quickly...even uphill.
Jenn:
Tiny Packet of Dried Red Wine: How on earth does one power red wine? Strange, it smells delightful though. If drunk or inhaled, it will allow the new caster to fill any cup or goblet with red wine once a day. It also gives the person in question an interesting 25% chance of having something strange happen to any potential children they might have...
Esfiel:
Holly Berry Favor: Once a week, this SD is now able to cause one other Card, ranked 10 or lower, to sprout holly branches and berries out of their ears. This process is painless, but tickles horribly and impedes the hearing for an hour until the spell wears off.
Lauryn de Vampyre, Vyn, Shini, Satra:
Lilac favor: This tiny favor allows the owner to change their scent whenever they like to anything they want it to be. If they want to smell like another person, however, they must first have smelled this person themselves to know what they want to smell like. They may use this favor once a day for up to four hours.
Sera:
Small vial of elderberry wine: This tiny vial was stuffed into the envelope, it seems a little curdled at the bottom...is it old? Huh, Court charitability indeed... It can either be injected, drunk, or used in a breeding. Exert caution though...it is the charitability of the Diamonds Court vault we’re talking about here. They may find the result to have been “witty”.
Xenon:
Amethyst Necklace: Wow! How unexpected! Coiled on a spool of silver, this delicate looking piece of jewelry is utterly lovely! Guess that copper was telling the truth about it being a nice gesture on the Court’s behalf. When worn, it allows the wearer to conduct their shadow with their mind. It is incapable of functioning as more than a shadow, and it cannot see or hear or speak for or to anyone, even the owner, but it can be made to dance though the streets and spring out from behind people whenever they like!
