(no subject)
[It's a little early, but Lloyd's in the city and he knows that he won't have another chance to be there for the next few weeks. The day of celebration is more than a week away, but he's already prepared gifts for it. He stops by the places where they live, leaves the gift on their doorstep, knocks and runs. He could stay, he could laugh and enjoy the holiday that's yet to come... but it'd only be painful. Still, people would be able to catch his shadow running, or his cloak swaying in the wind, or hear hurried footsteps or even catch a glimpse of his darker clothing. Here are the gifts he left:

A sturdy folder carefully tied to protect it from the snow and wind. Inside are drawings, obviously old and worn, a few even have some tears that have been attempted to be taped back together, and they don't carry the artistic skill he has now. But the fact that he's kept them all these years proves they're special. One is a big red circle with a green top - a tomato, with a big >:( face, and the words "YUKIEST FOOD" in messy handwriting at the bottom. One has odd shapes with different colors, all with a green base - flowers, the ones Dirk kept. There are several pictures of the surroundings of Dirk's home, even one of an unfinished bird with the words "FLYD AWAY" over it to explain its half-done state. There are a few of himself, too, and how he'd envision himself as a grown up. The most important ones are the last few, though. One is a completely blue page with light blue spots, an attempt at drawing stars. There are actually several of these, each better than the previous, until the last of these looks like a detailed replica of the night sky. He's obviously done that one recently. And below those are pictures of three figures, all three of them with brown hair, though one of them, the tallest, would occasionally have red hair. All of them would have the words "MOMMY DADDY ME" to indicate the people in the picture, and some would only have himself and the figure with the skirt, or himself with the red-haired one. The very last picture is of the last two holding hands, and the words "I LOVE YOU DADDY" are above them. Below that last picture is a letter. "They're a little embarrassing, and I haven't looked at them in years, but uh... I never I just now Happy Holidays! From Lloyd - That Lloyd."

As promised, he's left a key crest, much more well-made than the one he made for Colette in the past, for her Zelos. Along with that is something that he remembered from the Sheena he knows - a wish tag. It isn't nearly as detailed as the one he made in the past; he's learned his lesson on that one already. But it still looks rather pretty, and burned into the wood are these words. "Make a wish and let the river take it to the ocean. It'll surely come true as it's set in watery motion. Sorry for the bad poetry. From Lloyd."

This one was a little difficult. What would he himself like, other than some peace, and what would he like that the older Lloyd doesn't have? Thankfully, he's been thinking of this for a while, so he had plenty of time to work after he thought of something. He'd borrow the blacksmith's workshop, and there, he'd work. On Papa!Lloyd's doorstep is a long box with a bow, and upon opening it, he'd find a pair of swords. The design isn't the most beautiful in the world, but in battle, beauty doesn't matter. The swords are incredibly sturdy and have perfect balance, so it's obvious that Lloyd spent a lot of time and care with them. Attached to the hilt of one of them is a note. "These don't have elemental powers or anything, but they're the best I've made. You can use them yourself or maybe give it to one of your kids if they grow to be sword fighters. Happy Holidays! From that one Lloyd."

There's a tiny, yet long box at her doorstep. Upon opening it, Colette will find a silver bracelet. It's a charm bracelet, though right now there's only one on there. Still, it's a special charm. One that Lloyd made himself with hard work, considering how small yet detailed it is. It's an angel. One with its hands clasped near its heart, its expression tender. A note is underneath the bracelet, carefully folded. "A guardian angel to be there for you when I can't. I'm taking a long time, but... I'm almost there. I can feel it. You uh don't have to wear this, but I thought it'd be I hope you like it! Happy Holidays! From Lloyd."

There's a larger box on his doorstep, and inside it is a new shield. It's a blue color with white edges, and the middle has a green circle outlined in black. Testing it would prove that it's ridiculously sturdy, and it's shaped in a way that it's comfortable to wear. It, too, has a note below it. "This is made of Ribavius Ore. I found a cave with some of it deep inside. Pretty tough to find, but... I hope you like what I did with it. Happy Holidays, and thanks for everything! From Lloyd."

On Forsythes' doorstep, she'll find a large box. Inside are baby items, such as diapers, shoes, warm clothing, bottles, and some toys. Beneath all of that is a warm sweater and scarf for her. There's another note beneath all that. "I figured you could use some baby items, but I put some things for you, too. I'm really glad I got to know you better, Forsythes. Happy Holidays! From Lloyd."
[[ooc: Hopefully I didn't forget anyone, but if I did, he can stop by and give gifts to them too.]]
