TO: [break][break] FROM: [break][break]
MESSAGE: You're one of the strongest people I know, and I don't care how hard this region tries to stop you. One of these days, you're going to make a massive difference, and I'll be there cheering you on all the way. Don't forget about me when you're the head ranger and our new top champion, okay?[break][break]

Day 1 Gift: You open your gift and find:[break][break]
A snowglobe of Circhester, the city's lights looking warm, vibrant, and ready to celebrate the holidays. A far cry from the wasteland she remembered.

Training gear, both for Genny and for her Pokemon, and a badge sash to hold the inevitable marks of her triumph.


Day 3 Gift: You open your gift and find:[break][break]
A warm and comforting sweater, patterned after an Arcanine's fur ruff and jagged spikes. It's a little oversized, as all good sweaters are.

Day 5 Gift: You open your gift and find:[break][break]

A book about story and world creation, especially for tabletop game DMs, so Aurelie can bring worlds to life as easily as she does creations.


Day 3 Gift: You open your gift and find:[break][break]

TO: [break][break] FROM: [break][break]
MESSAGE: "I may not be able to be as free and open as I've been before. The road ahead is rocky, and bumpy. Everything makes no sense... but you do. You're going to learn things I've done. The worst part is that I ever had to pull you into it. But I'm selfish. I want to do everything I can, with you. We survived a meteor, we can survive this. Stay strong. Happy anniversary. Ash."

Day 1 Gift: You open your gift and find:[break][break]
A tiny Pumpkaboo jack'o lantern. It's electric, plugs into the wall, and can be used as a night light. To remember the first date they had on Halloween. A note. "You remember our first date? I invited you out and you wore that Victor Frankenstein outfit with your Raboot as the monster. I took you around... the best decision of my life."


Day 2 Gift: You open your gift and find:[break][break]
A full set of the Great British Baking Show. And a note. "A show for us to watch together. When you baked with me, I felt the happiest I ever did. I'm no baker... but holding you while we did our thing made me happy... I hope that in five years, we still do it together. I'll be sure to only wear an apron next time." There's a tiny winky Ash face drawn at the end.


Day 3 Gift: You open your gift and find:[break][break]
A half of a heart necklace, the white half. Written on it is 'I love you'. Another note. "Keep it close to your heart. And know that I always come back. I promised you. You'll never have the other half. It's with me."


Day 4 Gift: You open your gift and find:[break][break]
A big red winter coat. It's more Ash-sized than Kep-sized, but it comes with a scarf, and is lined with wool. The hood helps protect from the cold. Attached, a single orange feather like a charm. Another note. "Remember when I took you ice-skating? It was something I wanted so badly, and you went with even though my arm was broken. Here... I may not be able to enjoy the ice and snow this year. But you can bundle up. PS. That feather cost more than the jacket, especially because I can't quite remember everything. It's a replica. I hope it gets you closer to what you were looking for."


Day 5 Gift: You open your gift and find:[break][break]
A sushi platter that he had made the first time they had food together. was there with them, enjoying the meal, and it was first time they met. The last note. "I promised sushi, didn't I? I made sashimi instead... happy anniversary, baby. Don't eat it all at once. Love you. Ash."
