Gimme That Gift! Troll: Neekki Byazef Gift number: 15? Number of rolls:0
Maneki didn't know what was going on. Everything seemed to swim around crazily. Trolls everywhere, noise, and lights and and --- Augh! It was too much for a troll raised in near quiet isolation to handle. Let alone, the panic rising from terrible memories was making him feel sick and uncomfortable.
But then the gifts were given out and Maneki had something solid to hold onto and keep, something firm in his hands so his mind wouldn't slip off into the void. It was a black wrapped box with a purple ribbon. Who knew what could be inside.
Stealing? They were taking the boxes and ---
"Huh? Oh! Uh..." Did he want to swap? Well, this troll's present looked as nice as his own. But wasn't the idea to keep your gift and steal others. Smiling from ear to ear he proclaimed, "Nope!"
Gimme That Gift! Troll: Nozdor Runner Gift number: 19 Number of rolls: 1?
At some point, Stryke realized he'd been standing there like an idiot. His jaw had dropped when he'd realized he was short two of the three that had made up their traveling party. thisss has to be a joke?! He clenched his teeth in an audible click. It was a combination of nerves, and anxiety as his eyes swept the gathering of trolls. It was easy enough to say he'd have to find both kids relatively soon. He thought he could hear their voices mixed in the gathering of trolls. He'd give a whistle after they got past the games. Surely they hadn't gone far?
For what it was worth, Stryke noticed the orangeblood standing beside him offering to swap. A soft smile crossed his face, Nahori looked like she'd crawl out of her skin just for approaching him. "Hey there..again." He chuckled softly in greeting.
Stryke stood there for a moment he didn't really know what else to say. The noise of the gathered trolls was admittedly chaotic to say the least. Slowly he offered the package out to her, agreeing on the trade without much complaint. "Oh um! Sorry, I must have been day dreaming. I lost the two kids I was with, and was looking for them there in the crowd. Of course here! Let me swap you." He apologized profusely, handing over the starry bag and it's contents in favor of the more crudely wrapped one. Stryke didn't bother with a lie, it was true enough he'd come with two others.
Still, he avoided making eye contact out of fear he'd blush from embarrassment...and would blow his red disguise.

Gimme That Gift! Troll: Sarcel Cincil Gift number: 7 Number of rolls: 0
Sarcel had never really participated in this sort of thing, and she wasn't really sure how to go about it either. Something about stealing... or something? She looked at the purple gift sitting in her hands, somewhat dubious but nonetheless prepared for this otherwise uneventful adventure. She squished the shape slightly in her hands, what were the contents, she wondered? Who had provided it? At least that was interesting to think about.
Not that anyone probably gave away anything worthwhile, but well, it still might be sort of... fun. Seeing everyone's character reflected in their gift and all that. Something. Her thoughts were derailed when Eostre meandered over, making her eyebrows shoot up. It was ironic how so many familiar faces were here tonight. She kind of enjoyed it that way.
"Sorry, but I rather like mine." She gave the fellow blueblood a placid look, though the edges of her mouth hid the faint trace of a smile. "You might have to try a little harder than that." Was Eostre really interested in the festivities? It was hard to tell. She supposed it didn't really matter either way.

Caiden instantly relaxed. Sure, the older redblood's answer was not an outright "Yes" but neither was it an "I hate you" or "No you smell" so everything was okay. Caiden grinned wide. "You know! Come over! We can paint, or play hide-and-seek! Or OH OH we can climb this one tree ive been saving!" Caiden Grabbed Alifax's hand. "It will be SO MUCH fun! Okay! So if you cant come over Tuesday, how about I go to your place Thursday then, okay? Here!" Caiden pulled out an ink pen from his pocket and wrote on the teen's hand. "This is where I live! Yay! Okay!! See you Tuesday! Or Thursday!" Caiden had gotten himself excited. A scary situation had turned into a new friend.
The brownblooded child jumped up and down then ran off to go find his other friend Engrav and share the news. Engrav loved news. Caiden found his buddy and was just about to shout the exciting thing into the yellowblood's ear when he saw who Engrav was with. Another yellowblood, but this one had wings. "OH MY GLOB!" Shouted Caiden, then his hands flew to his mouth. Why wasn't anyone else amazed and excited about this winged troll? Were they all blind?!? What was wrong with Engrav?? Caiden leaned close to Engrav and whispered. "She has wings!" Caiden then got closer to the winged yellowblood and whispered to her. "You have wings!" The child was almost too giddy to talk. Here next to him was his butterfly Engrave, and now here was another butterfly. It must be fate. Yellow must be Caiden's most lucky lucky color. Caiden grabbed both the yellowblooded children's hands. "Oh my glob! Oh my glob! Can we be friends?!" the brownblood blurted out in his excitement. He was just on a friend collecting role tonight.

Frossa let out a healthy giggle, matching the boy's smile with her own. "That's meee~" She chirped with a full bodied nod and wink, visibly pleased that Hazmas could recall her title from that summer. The Marksman had been a throw away character- sometimes she even forgot their name and she had been the one to pick it- but it was a pleasant thought that their first official NFL event had been memorable enough. He seemed to remember Alifax too, if the long glance he had given the redblood was any indication. Maybe she should toss him one of those nicely printed NFL cards Alifax had gotten made*!
Plucking the package from his hand, Frossa weighed the gifts in her palms like a scale. They seemed even enough in weight, anyway. She'd just have to make sure not to get stuck with the one with the craptacular wrapping job at the end of the night. Glancing down at Hazmas' extended hand, she only tilted her head and blinked. He didn't expect her to touch him, did he?
She placed her own gift in his open hand instead.
"My real name is Frossa~! Charmed, I'm sure." Pulling out a small silver case from her purse, the purpleblood slid out one of the NFL's cards and held it up between two fingers.
"If you ever want to come and join us in another campaign, do stop by. It seemed like you were enjoying yourself!" Well, honestly, all she could remember was the greenblooded kid holding his own against in-character-Alifax. Not that she thought that reflected either of their battle prowess- but Hazmas hadn't been uselessly knocked aside or broken character, either. Tucking the card into one of the many pockets on Hazmas' jacket, she flashed a toothy smile up at him. "...And you did look rather gallant." Frossa added for good measure, hoping to sway any hesitancy he may have felt over to her side. Princess PurPure was always in need of capable servants, after all!
"Hopefully I'll see you around~" With a lazy, amicable wave, Frossa skipped off back into the crowd.
Gimme That Gift! Troll: Frossa Gift number: 13 Number of rolls: 2
Frossa had seen Cerise strut past earlier, and had already decided that she was next on the target board. It had been awhile since she had seen her friend! Or sampled any of her delectable baking. Maybe Cerise had some on her? It was worth asking, anyway. Frossa was feeling rather famished from all this running around.
After skipping away from Hazmas, it only took her a few moments of weaving through the crowd before the bright red puff of Cerise's skirt came into view. "Aa~hah!" Exclaiming quietly to herself, Frossa slunk up behind the redbood and the boy she was speaking too. It looked like Cerise had just snatched up the gift from some lowblood- and it was purple. Nicely decorated, with a cute bow on top. The one Frossa clutched herself was shoddily wrapped with red tape. How fitting! Shifting the box under one arm, she drew closer, and stood on her tip toes to whisper over the other girl's shoulder.
"Cerise~" Giggling and bouncing back onto the flats of her feet, Frossa tilted her head and nodded down at the box Cerise had just gotten. "You got that one just for me, right?" She beamed and held out the atrocity in her hands to exchange.

Ⅱ Autumn Vikare
The yellowblood all but threw the gift at her. Surprised, Autumn barely caught it and the red package she held slipped out from her fingers. She scrambled to juggle the two. Thankfully the yellowblood came to her rescue, swooping in to snatch her former gift. Well, it would have been a rescue if it had not been his fault in the first place.
Gift secure, she inspected it to make sure that she had not damaged the elegant wrapping. As she did, the yellowblood rambled out a response. She only half listened, but his anxious tone begged her attention. At last she raised her eyes to meet his, expression puzzled. “Wait!” she called. “What do you mean—?”
She did not get to finish. Just then she heard a loud shout from behind her. As she turned to look, an orangeblood in a colourful ensemble came scurrying up. He leaned in to whisper to the yellowblood she had traded presents with, and then turned to her. Upon hearing his words she smiled and fanned her wings.
“Why, yes I do. You like them?” she replied. Reaching up she coiled a strand of hair from her ponytail around her finger and feigned a modest look. As the orangeblood took her free hand, she clasped his delicately. “I don't see why not. My name is Autumn. What's yours?”

Extending game + Revisions
Since the game did not go as fast as anticipated, it is going to be extended until Dec. 30th (11:59pm mst)! However, if all gifts are locked before then, game will end early.
Here are some revisions to the game that will hopefully make things easier/quicker:
• No limit on steals. • You do not have to wait to steal a gift back. • If defender does not quote back with a roll within 24 hours, thief wins by default and gets to swap gifts, with or without rp. You can roll and fill later, but please have filled by end of game! • New codes, which are down below.
Additionally, new, shiny spreadsheet! Thank you to Green Minuet for putting this together. It has... it has pictures and everything. So organized. So nice.
NEW CODES
If stealing: (sorta not new)
[quote="opponent's username"][b][size=14][color=#5ec869]Gimme That Gift![/color][/size][/b] [b]Troll:[/b] your troll's name [b]Gift number:[/b] the number of your troll's current gift [b]Number of rolls:[/b] the number of rolls the gift has been rolled[/quote]
If defending:
[quote="thief's username"][b][size=14][color=#B10D0D]Hold Up![/color][/size][/b] [b]Troll:[/b] your troll's name [b]Gift number:[/b] the number of current gift [b]Number of rolls:[/b] the number of rolls the gift has been rolled [b]Outcome:[/b] Please determine course of action based on your roll, whether they have to swap or make the decision on their own to swap or keep.[/quote]
I apologize if you were quoted multiple times!

Gimme That Gift! Troll: Alifax Bunsem Gift number: 12 Number of rolls: 1
The kid was pretty hyperactive. Alifax let him write on his arm, though, and shrugged as he went on his way. He'd gotten the gift, at least.
But he needed one that'd been stolen more times. Or one that was likely to be stolen more. Wait - wait. Had he just seen that? There was a bag with a very familiar face on it. Frossa would at least get a kick out of seeing that, he thought.
So he jogged up to the troll holding it, who looked like he was mostly made out of hair. Also, he was tiny. "Hi," he said, kindly holding out his new snowflake-covered gift. He made no further comments.
Hold Up! Troll: Cerise Gift number: 15 Number of rolls: 2 Outcome: gotta swap
Cerise was just about to look for another friendly lowblood to get a new gift from when she felt someone press up behind her. As she expected, it was Frossa, whispering right in her spongeclot basically. So she has seen her earlier! Wonderful. It'd be a shame if she came all this way and didn't manage to get her attention.
Cerise turned and saw the... monstrosity of a gift Frossa had. It looked like some inner expulsions caused by a very ill troll. She smiled and held out the pretty purple gift. "Of course, Frossa. I'm sure this one suits you much better!" She giggled and took the gross looking gift. Who even wrapped this, some kind of garbage troll? It looked like something Caima would eat. Maybe Caima should eat it, and put it out of its misery.

Kursha is overcome by the twelfth perigee spirit. Literally. He is actually possessed by a vindictive ghost, hellbent on spreading holiday cheer. He froths at the mouth and attempts to resist.

Gimme That Gift! Troll: Kursha Vidari Gift number: 6 Number of rolls: 2
[+] Kursha Vidari
Leaving Eridia to her own devices, Kursha ambled through the crowd, scanning the game's participants. The teal package he had received swung lightly from his fingers. He had yet to bother Alifax, but the redblood appeared busy, or at the very least preoccupied with a small greenblood. Huh. Kursha watched for a moment, tickled. He would have never thought the redblood had it in him to bully children. You learned something new every day.
Turning away, he resumed his observation of the crowd and almost immediately another redblood caught his eye: the same one from last night. Pausing, Kursha studied the troll thoughtfully. The more he looked, the more he was certain he had seen the redblood before... but where? Even as he stared though, nothing came to mind. There would only be one way to confirm it.
Brushing past a pair of children, Kursha strode over to the redblood. He donned an innocent smile and then tapped the troll on the shoulder. “Hey, what do you think about trading?” he asked, grinning mischievously.
Hold Up! Troll: "Nozdor Runner" Gift number: 5 Number of rolls: 1 Outcome: Stryke trades his blind trex wrap job for the cute teal package sure why not...e.e
Stryke wasn't the best with games like these but he certainly was trying. Just as he was about to go wander presumably to find another troll to interact with and see about swapping presents he turned just as he saw Kursha brush past some kids and move purposely towards him. For a moment he almost panicked wanting to bolt and run for the hills. However he wore a rather charming smile, ignoring the crawling sensation in his skin as he tapped his shoulder. Even with the multiple layers, it did little to lessen the fact it was him.
"Oh!" He was nervous, but found it disturbingly easy to let a chuckle slip out as he raised a brow at the other. "Hello there~! Merry 12th to you good Sir. I don't see why not." His grey eyes peered up, given he was barely to his chest level even after all this time. Just like himself, Kursha had gotten taller seemingly. He blinked innocently at the other; playing off the fact he didn’t know this strange higherblooded troll, and ultimately showing him respect. He was a mild mannered unassuming redblood, of course he wouldn't refuse such a mischievously but no less friendly offer.
It made him want to ball his fists and scream.
Instead he smiled a bit wider, sheepishly almost. "Let's see, here you go." Stryke tentatively lifted the gift in his hand, and offered it out to the other. It looked like a blind lusi had wrapped it, or a child perhaps he supposed. Curious as to WHY Kursha had taken a sudden interest in him; he decided to play it cool and see what happened.
Gimme That Gift! Troll: Lorata Gift number: 20 Number of rolls: 2
Lorata's eyes dropped to the gift bag as the greenblood clutched it even more tightly to his chest, and then lifted again judgmentally. So was Nucleo saying he actually didn't intend to play the game? Although she didn't really see how he planned to make friends without playing along, so maybe there was some weird lowblood logic going on in there that she hadn't picked up yet. She opened her mouth to scold him into action, more than ready to remind him how much work her friend had put into making all this happen (at least she was pretty sure Elidae had done a lot of work, but it was the principle of the matter even if she hadn't), but his question caught her before she could get any of it out.
He wanted to be friends with her? What a funny way of showing it! She tilted her head and squinted, reconsidering the boy's face. Well! If he was so attached to the thing, she guessed she could let him keep it for now, but there were going to be conditions for sure! "Alright," she announced decisively, and there was that smile again. "Let's be friends! You have to show me what you get though, okay? I'm really curious!"
In the corner of her eye, she noticed Alifax headed their way. He seemed to be looking at Nucleo though, so...Abruptly she giggled. This would be a fun test. "Annnd, you have to do something really impressive to make up for not playing with me. I'll let you decide what while I find someone else to steal from, alright?" She did a quick scan of the playing field, picked a target, and took a couple steps in that direction before glancing back. "Don't forget to be careful with that bag, Nucleo! I'll be watching!"
She waved to the greenblood and then Alifax, and then she was gone to the next interesting person. This one she definitely remembered from the moon cakes stand, though they hadn't gotten a chance to talk much. Those fancy costume wings she had were hard to miss! Not to mention that a brownblood seemed to be very excitedly taking the girl's hands for some reason and that would make swiping the present even easier right?
"Hello again!" The seadweller grabbed at the present Autumn held and laughed. "How about a trade?"

Gimme That Gift! Troll: Nucleo Gift number: 16 Number of rolls: 1 Outcome: Keeping own gift
"Okay!" Nucleo beamed as Lorata agreed to let him keep the present and shuffled off to go try and yoink another. He knew he was being a little lame by not wanting to trade but he really really liked the gift he'd already been given! Happiness settled over the greenblood before a familiar redblood appeared. Oh no, was he coming here to summon him for some reason? He still didn't know if Frossa actually liked him or just liked messing with him.
"Yes, that is very pretty!" The greenblood politely congratulated Alifax, pretending he didn't know what the redblood's intent had been. Giving him a nod of acknowledgement, the boy hoped that this wouldn't piss the teen off or anything. Perhaps he ought to scurry along before the much bigger troll tried a more intense attempt.
"Oh it's Caiden! Hey Caiden!" Nervously beelining towards a familiar face, Nucleo carried his gift away in a hurry!
Micillia
Oh hello there conveniently attending friend! Hide me
KitsuneAura
Goodbye new friend! Good luck with your Etsali-impression!
Caiden instantly relaxed. Sure, the older redblood's answer was not an outright "Yes" but neither was it an "I hate you" or "No you smell" so everything was okay. Caiden grinned wide.
