[Don't make him regret giving this in person, Grog.

Percy knocks at the door to Grog's room, hoping beyond hope that his friend is not hung over.]

Grog? I have something for you.

[dedoink]

[ He's not hung over, but he WAS sleeping when Percy knocked. So it takes him a minute to open the door, rubbing a hand over his eyes as he does so.

(Thankfully, he's wearing pants.) ]

Mmmwhat is it? Whaddya want so early, Percy?

[ It's probably past noon. ]

[morethan25characters]

[It's half past, and he appreciates the pants, believe you me.]

I figured you'd want your Winter's Crest gift, Grog, though if I'm wrong...

[He reaches into his pocket, and pulls out... a slip of paper?]

[dedoink]

[ The idea of getting a gift is enough to banish the last remnants of Grog's sleepiness. The fact that said present is apparently a slip of paper, though, has his dubious. ]

Go on...

Left outside his room, mid-December

[ausgebrannt]

[Caleb is still getting to know Grog, but he thinks he's got a good idea on this one. So there's the largest bottle of liquor he could find for sale -- just to match the Goliath in size, really with a note that reads 'For Grog, Happy Winter's Crest. - Caleb']

[foundpurpose]

[There's a fur cloak that matches what Grog wears on a good day and hand wraps in a box by his door. With it is a little note with a picture of Whisper doodled. Just to tell Grog who it is from. Don't freeze your ass off buddy.]

12/20 (Winter's Crest) Left outside his door

[usedhuntersmark]

[When Grog opens the door, a big hat box is left outside of his door. Taking a cue from her brother, Vex has drawn crossed arrows, a sun and a bear on the note on top of the box. Lifting the lid will reveal a huge hat with ribbons, feathers and bells in a very sleek black.

It's his formal wear hat.]

WINTER'S CREST

[trickfoot]

[Outside Grog's door is a box, wrapped in blue ribbon.

Inside is a very well-crafted tankard, personalized with the words 'Best Buddy Ever' on it, along with a book. The book is for learning ones ABCs and 123s. To obviously continue where they had left off the last time. The small note with it has her name written on it to show who it's from.

She'll come find him later so they can break in his new mug together.]

Secret Snowflake 2022

[anthropophagite]

[ Kaneki isn't entirely sure what to give someone he's never met, but at least Foxi network makes it easy for Kaneki to check who Grog is and how he might be like. It's still a gamble, though.

Still, Kaneki sends a small gift, with a small note attached ]

Happy Winter,
I hope you enjoy it.

Your Secret Snowflake
- Kaneki Ken

[ inside the gift box there will be a beer mug and also a small ornament ]

[werewolfing]

[ grog and pike will find 2 steins on the kitchen table in their normal sitting spots. they're the oversized sort with lids. pike's says little monstah, and grog's says big monstah. both are accompanied by notes in peter's kind of lousy writing:

Wouldn't want to waste good ale.
Happy Wintercrest,
-Peter

pike's has a doodle of the symbol of serenrae, and grog's has a doodle of punchy fists smashing together. ]

Winter's Crest!

[deathbygoldfish]

[A small package is pinned to the center of Grog's bedroom door by a thin prickly green barb. The gift is rather small but labeled with Grog's name by four big blocky letters. Inside is a confusing twisting length of leather dotted with a series of hand carved wooden beads and a note.]

Dear Grog,

This is a beard lacer to make your beard fancy! Come to me and I'll put it on you!

<3 Keyleth

[goldenscarred]

[It's weeks later, but at some point, Grog gets a letter. Which he'll probably need someone else to read for him. It's written in 𝔞 𝔰𝔱𝔶𝔩𝔢 𝔬𝔣 𝔞𝔩𝔪𝔬𝔰𝔱-𝔠𝔞𝔩𝔩𝔦𝔤𝔯𝔞𝔭𝔥𝔶, which surely doesn't help it's legibility to Grog:]

Grog,

As per the terms of this exchange, your gift has been well-received. You seem like someone who could be worth a potential alliance to. If interested, send your reply.

The Golden Guard

[dedoink]

[ Grog does, indeed, have to ask for Pike's help reading the letter. He can make out his name but that's about it. When she explains that it's from the person who he gave the little statue to, saying he wants to be allies, Grog decides he ought to write back.

So, a day or so after the first letter, the Golden Guard will receive one back: ]

[goldenscarred]

[Dear Titan, that's hard to read. But he can make it out at least, "Grayskull Keep." Shouldn't be hard to find...]

3 weeks late with starbucks...

[dedoink]

[ In fact, it's not all that hard to find Greyskull Keep! It's about halfway between Leshy and Talaria, a large stone keep with a walled courtyard. If Hunter decides to stop by, he can follow the sound of someone chopping wood, around to the side part of the courtyard, where he'll see an eight-foot-seven grey skinned goliath doing just that... with a battle axe. ]

winter's crest - pretend this was on time

[keepcalmtaryon]

[In the morning Grog will find a little package outside his door, with a note attached- though the note is just a Doty-drawn picture of Taryon handing a package to Grog.

Inside the package is... well. An enchanted bag. Officially titled Grand Poobah's Thunder - a magic woopie cushion that can generate a fart once per long rest that can be heard up to 100 feet away. Use irresponsibly.]

[makeoutwithme]

[Considering Scanlan and Grog were such good friends the gnome thought to play a little prank on the other as he bestows the belated Winter's Crest gift. After placing the small sized box and note before his companion's bedroom door the trickster bard used Bigby's hand to knock, dissipating it as he ran away chuckling to himself.]

"Hey there big guy I noticed your beard was looking a little rugged and thought you might want to show it some tender love with this assortment of sensual beard oils and a badass comb I procured just for you! Happy belated Winter's Crest to my best buddy don't you ever change."

- Best wishes, Scanlan
