Merry Ratmas, Marr!

Merry Ratmas, Marr!

I know it took a little longer than usual, but I wanted to let you know first that I truly value our friendship, and am so happy I got the chance to be your ratmas secret santa!

Every games that we've been in together, we wind up helping or supporting one another, and I'm always so happy when we do. You really care about your character's development, and take time to think about how they interact with others. I'll never forget the 80th and getting to ally with you then - and having the chance to build something truly special with Fiona and Quest.

I have a couple of gifts for you, one that I wanted to do as a way of preserving your tributes in the games, and another so that at some point in the future we can get threading again!

In any case, thank you for being you, and for all that you've given me over the years.

Best,
Zori

The first thing I put together was a set of "tribute cards" for you, with a few facts, and a quote from each of your tributes. I spent some time looking over the games you've been in, and tried to create something that you can save for yourself/preserve to remember them. I hope you enjoy walking down memory lane!

I could have made a difference in their health - but you are going to strike me down and claim victory for yourself. But again, what's it going to do for you? How will it actually help someone in the end? Will you save their live or cause them pain?”

The second gift, while rather simple is one I hope you'll enjoy: thread starters!

I want to thread with you, and thought I'd put out the following for you to choose from (or all of them)! Just let me know which of them you'd like me to start (maybe for blitz day?!) so that we can keep writing together.

• Quest & Fiona: Quest comes to visit Fiona to talk to her about how she feels after having seen Shy in the games, and to hear about how married life is going in nine.
  
  
• Mayor Vasco & the visiting student: Your choice of who comes to stay with Vasco and the Izars for a year to learn about 11 and cause trouble!
  
  
• Immanuel Quin & Rum Tum Tugger: Rum Tum, who runs a wanderer colony, crosses paths with IQ and tries to get him to join up with them.
