[katabasis]

HAPPY SATINALIA 

how to play:

1. tag with a toplevel for your characters. (possibly include division + projects for ease of identifying coworkers!)
2. reply to other's tags with what your character got theirs for satinalia.
3. rake in those approval or disapproval points. we support both friend- and rival- mances.

Not participating in the gift-giving exchange, apart from what’s foisted upon him.

All members of forces division receive:

A chit for an extra ration of booze from the kitchens

The Knotty Governess, a five page choose your own adventure slash instructional pamphlet about a young lady who gets out of various binds (metaphorical) with various binds (literal). The knots are all have useful field applications; the accompanying woodcut illustrations are marginally less scandalous than one might hope

A length of rope to practice with

For his Forces co-workers, Vanya provides a jar of fine orange marmalade. (He resists adding the note "don't worry, it isn't homemade," but he'll say it if he's giving it in person and the recipient looks leery.) Ellis also receives a whetstone, fine quality but sized to be taken along on field missions.

Three pairs of warm woolen socks, with reinforced toes and heels. Not so exciting, but harder to get these days.

For members of project Sashamiri, Julius provides a selection of teas not usually found in the kitchens, as well as a small pouch of powdered, sweetened chocolate that can be added to hot milk. (Rifters who want them will have to find their own marshmallows.)

A very tiny bottle filled with a tannish brown liquid, corked. It’s rustic, but has an air of elegance to it. No note, but if examined closely you will see it labeled as “Eau d’ Edgard”
