[Outside Ishmael's door is a nicely wrapped present!
Ishmael,
You mentioned something about keepsakes before. You probably already have somewhere to keep them, but I thought I'd find something for you to store them in just in case.
- Dante
Once unwrapped, she'll find a wooden box engraved with a compass, and inside that box a gold necklace with a pendant shaped like a leafless tree]

[ Aki is not the most verbose of men. He's not good at talking about his feelings, or anything like that. His gift-giving reflects that, with a package left on Ishmael's door without too much fanfare. It doesn't help that he hates Winter, but at least he's trying.
Inside the package is a wrapped up bottle of something strong, a broach in the shape of a cool looking sword, and a gift card to go and buy herself something nice from the local clothing store. All that's left with it is a note saying 'from Aki Hayakawa'. ]

[Another present appears at Ishmael's doorstep!
Once unwrapped, the long box contains a large clear bottle fixed on a flat stand. Inside the bottle is a screen that matches the shape on the inside and a small 'press me!' sticker points to a button on the stand. Once pressed, the screen lights up to play a scene of waves rollings and a boat sailing peacefully. The sound of waves is joined by a peaceful melody that is unknown, but it sounds similiar to a sea shanty. The button can be pressed again to play the melody or the waves sounds by themselves.
There is another small box among the big box and that contains a friendship bracelet with orange, gold, black, and red beads. There is a few charms, one with a gold anchor and another with a cutesy octopus character.
"Happy holidays! Now you can have a little bit of the ocean no matter where you go! I hope we can keep sailing together for a long time." - Rodya]

( as usual, a certain someone refuses to personally deliver the gifts he obtained himself. there's some embarrassing element to it maybe, or maybe he's simply been too busy handling things off-base.
either way, something turns up overnight: a small package wrapped in the synthetic paper of a sports magazine. the sort of throwaway one that's survived in the corner of a bar in neo tokyo for years past its publication date.
inside the meticulously wrapped package is a tiny golden charm that also functions as a small pouch and a scribbled note. the writing is in japanese, but the implant translates it fairly well and with that fluctuating accent of his.
in my day, fishermen used to bring somethin' like this along with their nets
actually... their talismans prob'ly weren't this cutesy
but whatever
ebisu-sama, he's... 'sposed to bring you good luck
and then, like he couldn't figure out what else to put:
regards,
okada izou )

[Absolutely not giving on Christmas at least this year, but he'll send something by way of hummingbird drone to her a few days afterward.]
[The box is plain, but inside is a small brooch, and a note.]
Made me think of you.
Thanks for the gift.

[ Via courier and at a very odd time, on any day other than Wednesday is just... a really small package. It's probably about 5 inches long, and an inch wide. There's no signature, but there is a card. The package has a bow.
The card says in neat interpersonal script: This is a trophy you've earned, as it belonged to a thief.
(im sorry this is horrible)
Inside of the box is a finger. It looks preserved, and Ishmael might not recognize whose it is (Which... why would she) but Silco really did go back and cut off a finger from that cultist she killed. :)
Nothing is signed. ]

[ A neatly wrapped box sits outside Ishmael's door on Christmas morning. Snowmen and snowflakes dot the wrapping, and on the card? A simple message: "To: Ish-nee, From: Kaede"
Inside the box is the trilogy of the first three Pirates of the Caribbean movies. ]

[ she
probably didn't expect anything from malkuth, given their... on and off relationship... but there is something for her regardless, in a simple blue wrapped box with malkuth's name as the sender on it. inside is a long dark blue scarf with blubberbeast-like balls at both ends. it's clear what they're supposed to be from the face... in addition to this, there's also a satchel of loose black tea leaves. ]

[ Kaga's little helicopters have a few stops to make in Brimstone and Ishmael found herself on that list! The wrapped gifts dropped off contain;
One (1) bottle of good sake
One (1) box of handmade daifuku in various seasonally appropriate colors.
One (1) full brass sextant complete with wood case and additional eye pieces.
Along side a note in perfectionist handwriting. ]
Ishmael-san,
Thought this would prove useful if you decide on working together in the future. If not that's fine too, never hurts to have a way to navigate without technology.
Merry Christmas,
Kaga.

[ Ish's gift comes not in physical form, but delivered through the ocular devices. It's a digital book full of names/places/details of planets, stars and galaxies from this universe. But the big draw of it are the endless amount of photographs in such high quality that one can't truly appreciate with a physical book.
She'll still get an actual card though that reads: ]
This what else is up in space. Due to how light travels, the stars we see now are as they were thousands of years ago. Meaning that even if one is gone, the beauty of its light persists.
Enjoy the holiday. And do not forget the importance of everything you bring to this team.
- Lieutenant Colonel Yzak Jule
[ Attached to the card is a small omamori - one for happiness. ]

[ On Christmas morning, there will be an elegantly wrapped package waiting, along with a festive card. ]
Ms. Ishmael,
As the Christmas season graces us with its quiet beauty, I take this opportunity to extend to you my warmest wishes for a holiday filled with peace, joy, and the company of those you hold dear. May the New Year bring you health, happiness, and all manner of good fortune.
With kindest regards,
Sebastian Michaelis
[ Inside the package is an assortment of fine and extremely delicious baked goods--all made by Sebastian himself, naturally. ]

( Aventurine's gift to Ishmael is comprised of two things: a bottle of expensive scotch and a very fine envelope. In the envelope is a gift card for a two hour dinner and dessert at a maid cafe -- one that the included brochure indicates is staffed by women and men with extremely nice muscles. )
Miss Ishmael,
With the arrival of a New Year comes a chance to start again, according to the folklore of no small number of planets. A little something to give you a head start on a new experience: liquid courage and a bit of indulgence. Enjoy!

[There's someone singing near Ishmael's door. It sounds like a vaguely mumble version of Billy Joel's "Piano Man", but it sounds sort of like he's saying "Funny Man" instead. Maybe. It's definitely a little slurred.]
[If she comes close, she'll find Sampo, who's simply sitting here waving a little bottle back and forth as he continues to mumble-sing. He notices her, though, and perks up.]
Miss Ishmael! [Haha. Hi. He's a little drunk.] How're you doing?

Miss Ishmael! [Haha. Hi. He's a little drunk.] How're you doing?
[ sampo getting drunk isn't a strange sight to ishmael. all of them cope like that, and she's certainly no exemption to it. no, what's strange about all this is what he's sitting outside her room of all places. ]
Er, hi?
[ still blinking wildly. ]
I should be asking you that, actually. What are you doing here, Sampo?
Er, hi?
[ still blinking wildly. ]
I should be asking you that, actually. What are you doing here, Sampo?
Oh, here? Why. Am I here.
[He pats around the floor like he lost something, before his pout brightens into a grin again.]
Right. I think I just wanted to...do something with someone! I just can't stay in my place. Haha. Yeah, I can't right now. So I thought I'd come see you.

Did someone blow up your room again...
[ she kids. maybe. can't forget the shenans in redemption hall last september. ]
But, huh. Don't take this the wrong way, Sampo, but I didn't think you'd come to me of all people. I'm just surprised, is all.
[ ... ]
Come in. You can lie down on the floor if you intend to get even drunker. It feels nicer that way. [ speaking from experience, ofc. ]

Oh, my room is fine.
[Why is he here? He opens his mouth. Closes it. And continues to smile that dopey smile.]
[He'll explain later. Maybe.]
Ishmael, you are a lifesaver. Really. I'll won't take up much of your time, honest.

Yeah, yeah, you owe me big time.
[ she says as she ushers him in with a casual wave of her hand. i really need to write out an actual description of her room BUT the point is that her bed is currently filled with the presents she'd gotten from other people, but at least there's a rug on the floor where sampo can rest at any time.
she plops down on her bed, waiting for sampo to settle in. ]
So? What's up?

[ per usual, there's no real decorative flair to his packaging, it's just a plain gift bag devoid of any christmas cheer. if she looks inside, however there will be a simple hair ribbon the color of the ocean that's tied around a box that has several lures for fishing. ]
