[Filtered from Mal. SO HARD.]
Do you ever wonder if ports are just another extension of the Barge? Like the CES, only on a larger scale. If it can simulate animal life, why not human?

Let's talk.

Re: Christmas
You know, I would have gotten the shopping done myself, but there were some minor setbacks in port-- okay. Major. Thanks for the Inmate, Admiral. I'll make this brief:
Mal: A totem [Yeah, right, Arthur knows that would be an awful idea.] An architectural model of her and Cobb's house [That'll probably only strengthen her belief that this is a dream.]
A copy of Carl Jung's
Red Book. I never had a chance to read it, myself, but his works were practically the foundation of our field. I think she'd get a kick out of his long-lost It could be relevant to [Wait wait wait. Arthur thinks back to what he knows about this book.]
Actually, could you send it to Angelica Sexby first? I don't want Mal getting her hands on it if it's only going to feed her delusion. Let her warden decide if it's appropriate. In the meantime, a new scarf. Hermès. [BECAUSE HE CAN.]
Capa: Send Capa contemporary pop music from my time. [Because it's funny.] And glow-in-the-dark stars. The kind you can stick on the ceiling.
K: While those sunglasses are classic, it never hurts to have a second look on-hand. Give him another pair of sunglasses, updated frames. Something fashionable-- and I don't mean "high fashion." I mean something that still serves a practical function. [Why so hard to shop for, Kay?]
Steph: A first-edition copy of The Once and Future King. She still likes Arthurian legends, right?
Eames: A math book. [Because Arthur is a bitch.]
Dionysus: Real clothes. By that I mean a suit. Bespoke, not made-to-measure. I know that would require him sitting still and getting measured, but since you're supposed to be "magic," you can probably make the right suit appear.
