heritrix: (chin up)

March 6

[At some point in the afternoon, a mysterious package is left outside Zuko's door, without knock or notice. It's wrapped in plain, brown paper, in stark contrast to the colorful red ribbons typing everything together. The ribbons culminate in an ornate bow fashioned on the top, and slid between it and the box a notecard can be found.

On the front of the notecard is a (poorly) hand-drawn picture, featuring what looks to be a stick figure Santa Claus and a sleigh of presents.

For some reason, the sleigh is drawn by dogs instead of reindeer.

Stopped at a fork in the road before a sign pointing in many directions, Stick Figure Claus scratches his head and staring at the sign with question marks surrounding his head. Did I make a wrong turn somewhere? his word bubble says, in neat and legible handwriting.

Beneath the drawing, a message is printed in bold letters.

MERRY (BELATED) CHRISTMAS]




[Inside the package, Zuko will find a pair of fingerless, leather gloves inscribed with sigils, along with a note.]

Zuko,
Please find enclosed these leather gloves. As practically the only other person in this castle as driven as I am to win this war, I thought you might appreciate a gift that serves a functional purpose. For comfort and ease of wear, these gloves aren't bulky, but I've enhanced them with reinforcement magecraft. You'll find them incredibly durable even under trying circumstances.

With the physical demands some puzzles present, I figured they'd be perfect, no?
