(ic) VALENTINES GIFT GIVING MEME

what's up?

Happy February! Because the characters of Starsand are getting into the Valentines Day 'spirit,' we've made a special meme to help them distribute gifts! Participating is very simple.

♡ Put up a TOPLEVEL for your character. Please fill out the TOPLEVEL CODE for convienence!
♡ Reply to other characters with what gifts your characters are giving out. There's a code for that too!
♡ If you both agree, go ahead and plan where you want to roleplay the exchange.
♡ Otherwise, just handwave the gift giving!
♡ Use the comments to plan out what would happen without having to roleplay anything!

That simple! So, let's move on to the codes!

toplevel code

Here is the code for setting up a toplevel! The most important thing to note here is roleplay or handwave! A lot of us are busy or tired this month, so there is no shame in saying you want to handwave exchanges. Or you could be selective and say something like "Both" or "Roleplaying only a few."

If you both want to roleplay the gift giving, then you can plan that here and move to the February Mingle, a catch all, or inboxes.

CODE:

<font face="georgia"><big><big><big><big><i><b>♡</b> preferences;</font></big></big></big> <b>ROLEPLAY or HANDWAVE:</b> <b>WHERE TO GIVE GIFTS:</b> do they have a mailbox? a job? etc. <b>SPIRIT CONTRACTS:</b> do they have a spirit that people can give gifts to as well? describe them if yes!

gift giving code

Secondly, the gift giving portion! This code is meant to help make the gift giving as easy to handwave as possible. Feel free to delete or ignore sections that don't apply to you!

And of course, this is Starsand. Doing simple things is never simple. For characters who are having trouble being honest with their gifts, the spirit are here to help! Well, actually that's up for debate. Feel free to assume that a well-meaning spirit might give a gift with your characters' name on it. They will only give gifts that reflect a character's actual feelings; Small chocolates, a letter, or little trinkets. They can't make anything fancy and sometimes they'll forget to sign it with your characters' name.

Spirits will also celebrate lovingly given gifts by making confetti fall around the pair, creating small fireworks, and being generally awkward about it. Now all of Starsand knows you're in love!

There will be no magical effects, other than embarrassment.

CODE:

<b>GIFT GIVER:</b> your character or a well meaning spirit? <b>GIFT DESCRIPTION:</b> what are they giving? <b>WHERE?/HOW?</b> to help handwave it! <b>SPIRIT CHAOS?</b> are any spirits making this more embarrassing? <b>ROLEPLAY or HANDWAVE:</b>
