Is anyone willing to exchange Christmas gifts with me
I really don't want the one they gave me and I doubt they'd let me return it
If not I'll just burn it or shred it to pieces I don't fucking care

[ attached to the bottom of this post is a picture of a printed sweater. it looks innocuous enough, but... well. it's a lot to unpack honestly, and she'd rather throw out the entire suitcase. ]

I do not want to trade the gift I received, but I can find something else to trade for it.

[ Since Ishmael seems to want to get rid of it, but Sunrise doesn't think it's right for her to not get something nicer as a replacement.

After a moment, however, she also has to add this, because of course she does: ]

Burning it may still be cathartic.

[wheft]

Deeply considering it right now. Wings know how much I'm holding myself back from lighting up a match and throwing it at the damn thing...

[cleansewithfire]

You can do it outside. [ Burning should be done responsibly. ]

Do you like cats? [ Where did this come from, Sunrise (she swears this question will go somewhere). ]

@girlboss

[plagiarists]

can i watch you burn it if no one wants to trade with u

[ Helpful as always 😌 ]

[wheft]

Wow, so you're not even going to offer yours? Some help you are.

[ she's serious rn girl!!!! ]

[plagiarists]

you wouldn't want mine anyway??
but more importantly i don't want a sweater with a pun
i have standards

@shiro

[cranekin]

Is it the wrong size?

[wheft]

I don't even feel like wearing it to find out.

[cranekin]

Ah.
Not your style, then?

@duke

[frostfist]

That bad, huh?

[ the #trauma, not the sweater. ]

I'd offer you mine, but it's not much better.

[ but if she really wants his mug (which he'll send a little snapshot of over) he'll give it to her no questions asked. ]

[wheft]

It's putting it lightly, yeah.

[ it's so bad, king... she does snort at the mug, though. ]

Is it accurate, though? The mug, I mean.

[frostfist]

You tell me. It'd be pretty pompous if I went around describing myself as a [ looks back at the mug ] total freaking badass.

[ literally who comes up with these things ]

@darakuron

[notbymyside]

We certainly got varied presents, I see.

Mine was tasteful and quite nice.

[wheft]

Wow, good for you! It sure is nice to hear that nobody's gotten anything distressing so far!

[ sorry, she's not in the mood............... ]

@risk

[kubricks]

It sounds like destroying it is what you really want to do. So I'm not sure a trade would help.

[wheft]

I just wanted to see if someone else would want it. Not gonna lie, it is tempting to just... destroy it with everything I have. But I'm not that kind of person anymore.

[kubricks]

I don't think anyone would think less of you for making an exception.

They might have questions about it though.

[She sure has a couple.]

@eleventh

[tidemark]

Hey there, Ishmael.

You seem pretty upset by the gift from Lilith. Does it have something to do with what you told me before?

[wheft]

Yeah. You saw the note attached to their present? To me it just seems like a threat now if I end up disapponting them lmao

[tidemark]

I don't think it is too different from our treatment so far, but I see what you mean. You should have confidence, though. You did well in that simulation before.

Shall I get you a gift to replace the sweater?

@NIGHTFALL

[yuwon]

I don't think your sweater would fit me.

[ a few seconds later— ]

I think my civilian job dictates I should probably suggest not burning it. But, let me know if you need a flame, anyway.

[wheft]

[ trying to imagine yuwon in the sweater and... well. that almost made her chuckle ngl. ]

I mean, if it ever goes out of control, at least you'll finally get some work done, right?

[yuwon]

I think I'm fine with no work.

But, is the sweater that bad?

ᴜɴ: ɴᴜʟʟ.

[sparse]

It's more practical than what I got.

[ at the very least... ]

[wheft]

What did you even get?
