>Kanaya: Produce Colorful And Wearable Presentry
[Voice]
It's my understanding that the human equivalent of 12th Perigees Eve also involves the reception and distribution of items as a display of affection or acknowledgment of an existent relationship, yes?
Are there any particular gifts that appropriately mark the season in a traditional fashion or can they be anything at all? And how intently must one keep the identity of their present a secret prior to its reveal?
[Action, 916 Bilko Boulevard]
*You may hear the quiet click-click-click of knitting needles from inside Kanaya's room, interspersed with occasional sounds of frustration. You may also see that the hallway has a pile of colorful balls of yarn which shrinks steadily day after day. What could she be up to?*
[Action, around town]
*There is a young troll girl walking around town with a very large bag in her arms. She seems to be discreetly trying to avoid attention, particularly from those she knows, but in doing so she is only making herself more suspicious. If you are an Alternian troll that she recognizes, she will likely try to speed by if possible.*
[Action, later]
*The contents of that bag may be revealed later, as Kanaya heads to each of her friends' homes in turn to drop off an individually wrapped hand-knitted scarf. The construction is a bit amateurish, and any special patterns or pictures are probably more abstract representations than accurate portrayals, as she's only just learned, but they should be fluffy and warm regardless.
The scarf patterns are as follows:
Karkat - A black-and-white striped pattern with little curving half-circles on either end that may or may not have been Kanaya's attempt at crab claws.
Aradia - It's maroon all the way through with some yellow frogs on it.
Tavros - His brown/orange color with some white fairy/butterfly wings near the middle.
Sollux - Mainly yellow, with blue stripes at one end and red stripes on the other.
Nepeta - She drops off the olive scarf with white kitty-faces at her house, but doesn't expect anybody to pick it up :(
Herself - She didn't make herself a scarf, silly. That would be pointless as a present.
Terezi - A teal scarf with reddish diamonds meant to evoke her sunglasses.
Vriska - Her cerulean blue color, with white figure-8s all along the length.
Equius - Likewise, Kanaya drops off the dark blue horseshoe-pattern scarf at Equius' place, but doesn't expect anyone to receive it.
Gamzee - It's his deep royal purple with red and white :o) :o( faces alternating the entire way.
Eridan - He doesn't get a special scarf. Instead, he gets a shoddy-looking rough one cobbled together from some leftover yarn without any sense of cohesion. This was the scarf she first practiced on, Eridan.
Feferi - Bright tyrian purple with a long yellow trident near the middle, and darker purple stripes meant to evoke her cuttlefish near either end.
Davesprite - It's tiny and striped both orange and Dave-red.
Jade - Dark forest green alternating with a brighter jade-green that happens to be Kanaya's own blood color. She thought the name was funny.
Rose - Pink and purple alternating the entire way, as in the icon shown. Rose is droned, but Kanaya brings it to her house anyway, checking up on her drone as she has every day since the end of the apocalypse. Maybe this day will be the day she finally comes back?
...no, probably not.
Haruhi - Kanaya has also knit her not!sister a dark red scarf with the SOS-Dan logo on it. Just because she seemed like she'd appreciate it.*

Please do not make me regret my well-intentioned gesture to include you in the circle of this gift as a member of our cohort.

Was hopin' we could actually try bein' friends again. I mean I patched things up with Sol an' all an' we're friends now sort a'.
Though I get the feelin' I should be grateful this gift isn't a chainsaw to the gut an' its more like an' offerin' a' peace.

I do not believe I can forgive you but I can at least tolerate your continued existence. And in the spirit of that tolerance, here. *She's handing him a wrapped package.*

Well, not my taste in colors an' I'm not quite sure what the hell you were goin' for with this... but a gift's a' gift an' well... it's pretty thoughtful a' you to be givin' me one even though we're not on the best a' terms. An' it's rather thoughtful a' you to be givin' me a scarf. I think. I feel naked without one.
[A long pause. He just really has no idea what to say other than endless amounts of complaints although he fears that won't go over well and he will have two small, shitty, scarves instead of one.]
Th...thank you, Kan.
[His eyes are getting quite wibbly. He's just so overcome with both the emotion of joy actually being given a gift, and despair from having all of these Sea Dweller Problems, like his scarf being in the wrong color.]

You're very welcome, Eridan.
As I was creating them for all of our compatriots, I felt that... it would be very improper to not give you one as well. This is my practice scarf.
