Don't ask me how I came up with this. Da**it, why can't I write pay copy like everybody else? :) Oh, well, there's always the INC... What everyone got Io-chan (the New Princess of Cute) as a Welcoming Gift: Alaemon: A little diary with a huge retinal-scan lock on it. Andreaphlus: A twenty-buck gift certificate. No, not money. (The earliest that she can cash it in is on her 21st birthday. The Princess of Nitpicking was quite clear on that…) Asmodeus: The Spanish Inquisition pop-up book. Baal: A cute little set of full plate mail with the most adorable batwing helmet. Beleth: A signed copy of Grimm's Fairy Tales. Unabridged and uncensored. Belial: They wouldn't let him bring a gift, but he's doing the fireworks. Wear safety goggles and a radiation suit. Fleurity: Nothing for Io-Chan, but after looking at the rest of these gifts, the parents might be amenable to a present from him. Furfur: Thrash Metal Barbie and Trainspotting Ken dolls. Haagenti: 16 tons of chocolate-banana pudding. Kobal: Five drums, four types of whistles, three cases of industrial-strength chili, two harmonicas and a set of bagpipes sized for a one year old. Kronos: The grumpy bugger never showed up, but there's a pocket watch here without a tag on it. Lilith: an IOU, made out SPECIFICALLY to Io-chan. Malphas: A My Little Eris costume, complete with ceremonial hot dog rolls and a real Golden Apple. After some argument, he agreed to remove the Ethereal Song of Attraction laid upon said apple… Mammon: The complete set of Pokemon dolls, accessories and trading cards. "NO! Don't take them out of the box!" Nybbas: The entire Barney, Teletubbies and Blues Clues videotape collection, plus a really sweet contract for modeling baby clothes. Saminga: A little guillotine set, which was originally sharp … (Some of these guys you really have to watch, you know?) Valefor: The baby rattle of Napoleon III, in a battered box with scorched wrapping paper. Vapula: A copy of SimCity Ultimate: just like the corporeal version, except that you can call up real cities and then toss in monsters, plagues and disasters! Strange … the people and buildings are very realistic… And, well, she's sucked the other side into her little web, too… Blandine: A set of lullabies on CD. Written by Gilbert & Sullivan, guitar music by Buddy Holley, harp music by O'Carolan, and vocals by Elvis Presley, Jenny Lind, Perry Como and a certain Archangel that absolutely insisted that his name not be on the cover, as he had no time for fans, what with all the delicate experiments going on… Christopher: one of those personalized books ("Io-chan's Playtime Day"). However, it was written by Lewis Carroll and illustrated by Dr. Seuss. David: Lego's. In the industrial size, with motors and wheels and pipes and electrical wiring and everything. You could build anything with this set: cars, houses, oil refineries, nuclear power plants (needs the special kit for the plutonium and graphite rods, though), a functional FTL Radio … anything. Dominic: He was going to get the "Spanish Inquisition Pop-up Book", but somebody beat him to the last copy. So he gave the parents a home security kit for watching the baby… in a box with the tasteful "CIA property: authorized personnel ONLY" logo still on it. Eli: We're still not sure what it is. All we know is that it's green (usually), makes weird noises, and everybody else was instantly filled with jealousy because _they_ never had one when they were kids… Gabriel: A burning sword nightlight. Keep those goggles and radiation suits on. Janus: The baby rattle of Napoleon III, in a battered box with scorched wrapping paper. Jean: A sweater. (He doesn't get out much.) Jordi: It is not a stuffed animal, OK? The materials are completely synthetic and it certainly isn't anatomically correct. It's a learning tool: you push the belly and appropriate sayings come out. "Save the whales if you know what's good for you". "Don't even _think_ about not protecting the rain forests". "Meat isn't murder, but just throwing away the rest of the animal that you've killed is grounds for justifiable homicide if I catch you at it". Things like that. Khalid: A copy of the Qu'ran … and a set of instructional tapes for learning Arabic, geared for a small child. Khalid gets out more than Jean, but it’s hard to tell with Elohites, sometimes. Laurence: A My Little Ronin Forge, with all the materials you need to make your very own matching katana and wakizashi! Litheroy: A very nice telescope. Unfortunately, he insisted on leaving the price tag on. Keeping him from spoiling the surprise party was a real pain, too. Marc: A bunch of brightly-colored, perfectly safe plush toys and dolls for the cradle. (What, you thought it would be stock options, or her very own numbered Swiss Bank account? He's a _Mercurian_, guys: in other words, he's got a clue.) Michael: A cute little war axe: oddly enough, it looks like it came from the same shop as Baal's gift. Novalis: A "Young Miss Gardening Set". Included are seeds for daisies, violets, corn, wheat, flax, potatoes, grapes, birch, oak, rubber trees, sequoias and redwoods. She's also included a bottle of her famous "Novy's Natural Goodness Plant Helper", so the additional land deed to 1000 acres of Kansas real estate may come in handy, here. Yves: a industrial strength file, a trenchcoat, a map of Fresno, CA and a complete disguise kit, all sized for an 18 year old human. When asked why, Yves just smiles. Zadkiel: A baby's car seat. Of course, it's a relic/6 with the all three Songs of Shields and the Celestial Song of Motion, as well as a talisman/6 (Dodge and Escape), but at least she didn't go for the "living artifact" upgrade.
