Emily flies in front of you.

>"My Lord! My Lord!"

"Yes Emily?"

>"It's the holidays! The big Festival Day!"

"And?"

>"Everyone is giving gifts to one another!"

"Emily we need to train."

>"But we already did my Lord!"

"We did?"

>"Yeah! You probably don't remember it because it was so boring but everyone got a level or two. Now we can have some fun for Festival Day!"

Well if she says so.. Maybe it would be nice to raise some moral. Though honestly there are other things you could be doing.

You order Emily out of the room and prepare gifts for everyone. No not everyone really. Just your troops. That's it.

You've assembled quite a collection of miniature figures.
Since it is Festival day most of your people will likely have gifts for you as well. Who shall you visit first?

I say see Kassandra first. Then she can help out. This should be totally her kind of thing. She even seems to enjoy dressing up.

If possible can you get or make a new nice dress for Emily? She knows about the dolls so that won't be a surprise for her. She's also been wearing the tattered dress for quite some time. Maybe it was even an old gift you gave her?

As for Fabio maybe you can make him something cool. Like a custom made golden coin with a Fabio sunglasses and smile logo on.

It seems you are rather good with your hands so you decide to make a new dress for Emily.
You go up to her and equip it to her.

She hands you a... Box?

This is glorious. Tell her you love it and will cherish it.
Store it in a safe place, if you can't war it as a ring (which is probably ill advised anyway) you can always string it as a pendant and wear it when it is not in danger of being destroyed.

"Thank you Emily. I will cherish this always."

She gives the biggest smile I've ever seen her give and hugs me. I return the hug then depart.

Silva's present is next. She smiles as I hand her a tiny figurine with changeable parts.

>"Thanks my Lord. I couldn't think of what to get you so I just took a pic. Had to borrow Kassandra's armor for a little though. Show it to anyone and I'll cut you in half. Kidding of course."

Well. This explains a bit at least.
You feel you should give Alice something to but you aren't sure how she'll react.

Engrave a bow, along it's wooden hilt thing is basically her and a bunch of frilly spinny floral designs for irony's sake, maybe a harp or two.

If you can design a dress or figurine, engraving can't be too hard.

We got her a maintenance kit before and she liked it. How about some materials that could be used with it? String oil or whatever, I don't know much about archery.

Also, I would like to breach a subject with her- alchemy. She doesn't like buying REPLACEMENTS for her weapon and getting rid of the old one, but what about turning her existing one into something better by combining it with stuff?

I forgot to add that it was a decorative bow to add on a mantle piece or something. Maybe get her a new bed with an engraving of bows and shit then? I knew she wouldn't want to replace an old bow.

Call up Fabio on the quick, see if he has anything an Archer would like.

Other than that, I think a Journal would suit her.
Get her a nice, Overlord brand journal. One that can be locked. A bow on the front, your eye thing on the back.

Do this without the eye on the back; that would be sort of a creepy decoration for a journal.

Silva is such a silly cat. You should get together and make some puppets at some point. Maybe that's what brought you together in the first place?

Alternative gift idea for Alice - A target dummy that looks suspiciously like a gunner and/or some exercise equipment. Then tell her to get some levels. Not because you like her or anything. Has the bonus of being a well thought out gift while hiding it under a false veneer. Perfect for a reluctant and stubborn archer.

Huh. "How to Be A Nice Person" involves saying "Bluh bluh Obey Me"? Curious, I would have said that's just the opposite. Perhaps she's attempting irony.

She gets a lump of coal. Like an actual lump of coal, nothing in it. Or whatever's the appropriate thing in this culture to give people that have been naughty.

Because actually she DID affect us with her betrayal- we had to start up from scratch and everything. If we had just been assassinated it would've been simply annoying to lose our memory, but we lost all those resources too!

Sounds like a great idea.

When you first hand Rose the lump of coal she looks very upset but once the figure breaks out she seems delighted.

She smiles and nods.

You gather everyone together and take a picture of your group.

When the shot is done you examine the photo. You don't need your Loyalty Checker to see they're all happy to be here, even the ones who aren't smiling.

You make another copy of the photo and keep this one tucked away with the Journal and hope that you can take more like it in the future.
