I will admit, it is a fault of mine I ought rectify. There is no use in trying to spare the feelings of others, if it only results in more anguish for them.
[ For shame!! ]
It would be difficult to fix something like that right away, but don't worry, okay?
And I hope your day goes smoothly.

While your dedication to your master's cause is admirable, the answer is still no.
You'd best look elsewhere, if it's twittering songbirds you want.

[ Wrapped in a neat little black box with a white bow, Simon will find a bright rainbow scarf and a rainbow lollipop to go with it.
There's also an envelope labelled "Mr Blackquill" with a glittery Christmas card, and some rainbow glitter. ]
Merry Christmas, Mr Blackquill! You're always wearing such dreary colors, so I thought you might like something a little brighter for the new year!

[Later in the evening, whether answering a knock on his door (to find no one there) or returning home from wherever he may be, Simon is going to find a garment box wrapped in festive paper with a bow on it and an envelope taped to the top. The envelope reads "To Mr Simon. Do not open until Christmas!" If he opens it now or later, this is what he will find:
In the envelope is a card! It's a fairly generic happy holidays card, though the outside and inside have stickers added. On the inside of the card are some cute little doodles of cats or snowmen or reindeer and a note:
Merry Christmas Mr. Simon! I don't think I ever thanked you for looking out for all of us at the slumber party, since I was too busy being happy you let Dipper stay! So I'm gonna say that now. Thank you!!! I hope you're having a really good Christmas, and if you're going to the ball I'm gonna find you and thank you in person too!
❤ Mabel!
In the thin garment box is...a stocking? Yes! It's a stocking! It's red with gold trimming and glitter covering it, as well as Simon's name carefully penned in with what looks like glitter fabric paint. Inside this stocking is what you would expect in any stocking. From the toe to the top, it's filled with candy and a variety of smaller items, such as: a thin silver chain necklace with a somewhat clumsily done but very sturdy Chinese knot made from black and white twine hanging on it (that's sort of manly, right?) and a voucher for a well known bakery in the city with a note attached to it that reads "I don't know if you actually like sweets or not, but they have a lot of really nice breads and stuff too, like all of their stuff is REALLY GOOD!!!! And I think bread is something everyone needs in their house, right?? If you do like sweet stuff though, I really think you try their upside down cakes!".
Lining the top are five candy canes, neatly hooked over the edge so they are just peeking out!]

[Two packages for Simon.
In one is an atypical sword set. Well, it has a daikatana (so huge), a katana, a wakizashi, and a tanto. Of course, coming from Archer, this isn't your average set you can get for like 55 bucks on Amazon. They were forged using the seven layer soshu kitae method, more popularized by Masasume. Enjoy that, Simon.
The other package, well...it contains a hawk sized samurai helm and a tiny katana and sheath made to strap to the back of a hawk without getting in the way of its muscles. It's more decorative but Archer will be incredibly impressed if it's actually used.
And a note, as usual.]
If you're going to make someone a gift, it should be worthwhile. The swords are handmade by me. Try not to murder anyone with them, thank you. And Merry Christmas.
Signed,
Archer

[ Enjoy a nicely-wrapped little figurine, Simon! It's inside a puzzle box. There's also a note:
Prosecutor Blackquill,
I hope your holidays are very merry!
Sincerely,
Trucy Wright ]

[First, there's a Christmas card featuring a photo of Phoenix and Trucy with Santa beards/hats photoshopped on.]
"Prosecutor Blackquill,
I hope that you're having a merry Christmas, and that you don't have any inappropriate prison stories for this day.
You gave me a present on a day that was important to you - one that became important to me as well. Your name's been cleared, and the dark age of the law was cut down by our combined efforts.
Now it's time to join the world again. That means celebrating holidays and wearing itchy sweaters. Feel free to join us for Christmas dinner as well if you'd like.
Your worthy opponent, and your friend,
Phoenix Wright"
[And so there's a few presents there: a Christmas sweater (the robin one; Phoenix figured he argued so passionately for it, he earned it), a bottle of sake and a samurai-themed game of Trivial Pursuit.]

[On Christmas morning, Simon will find a two wrapped packages on the foot of his bed. How did they get there? No one knows except for Pharos.
(Spoiler: It involved teleportation.)
The larger package contains two books, one about the Rise and Fall of the Shinsengumi and the other is a collection of action packed shortstories.
The smaller package contains the Very Important neck scarf for a certain hawk. Wait, what's this? It's a second scarf! Someone sure likes the skull theme though...
There is a small card sticking out of one of the books.]
Merry Christmas. Please enjoy your presents.

[ Some time on the 27th, a mailman will deliver a rather strange package to Simon's apartment. There is no box, but rather, the delivery just has a small bonsai plant (about 12 inches in height). Tied to the miniature tree's trunk is a yellow ribbon, and a card that reads "Merry Christmas, Simon! -- Athena" hangs from the piece of fabric.
That's three gifts down, and nine more to go! ]

[ Using Mutsunokami's (newtimes) CereVice, Athena sends a message to Simon. Whether he gets it during the event or not at all (because of the weather) is up to you! ]
SIMON!!!!! Do NOT go to the mall, or else you'll be stuck here like me! :( Also, I'm fine!!!! My Cerevice is dead, too. I hope you're okay!! You don't need to reply to this text since I'm handing the phone back to the owner. --Athena

[For Blackquill, Edgeworth got three different tins of tea leaves from Japan that can help him relax, concentrate, or be reinvigorated. Plus a very historically accurate novel set in feudal Japan that includes a manga version of it at the back.
The card is plain, the handwriting unmistakably fancy.
Prosecutor Blackquill,
Merry Christmas. Thank you for the presents, and I'm glad that I will be of assistance to you someday.
- M. Edgeworth]

[Though he's been spending a lot of his time with Athena, Integra does manage to catch him in his own apartment. When he opens the door, he's looking slightly less monochrome than usual, trying on a robin sweater that Phoenix got him. It's comfortable enough that he forgot to take it off again.]
...Good day, Sir Hellsing. [He looks surprised; he wasn't expecting any visitors.] Did you need me for something?
[He's guessing she's here on work business, and those parcels are for someone else.]

[ It's the new year!! And looks like a bunch of presents got stuck at the post office during the blizzard (and the awful things that came with it). So today (1 January), Simon will receive five packages from the mailman. He apologises for the delay on most of the packages, since some were supposed to be sent each day from the 28th til the 31st.
The gifts within the packages are:
- chopsticks for ultimate nerdery
- a small (letter size!) framed painting of a bunch of robots that might seem familiar since she used to draw them when she was younger
- a basket of fruits because simon is an old man
- a coin purse
and today's present... a bouquet to celebrate the new year!
Each package just has "To: Simon, Merry Christmas! From: Athena" written on it, too. The bouquet has a card in it that says the same thing.
Just four more days of Christmas to go! ]

I'd like you to meet me at my place. This is regarding our previous conversation. Rin has the necessary barriers set up so no listeners will join in.
Very well. I'll be there shortly.
[Sure enough, it doesn't take long before there's a knock at the door. Blackquill was careful to make sure he wasn't followed, and he's even come armed with one of the katanas Archer gave him at his hip. After what happened before the new year, he's taking no risks.]

[Inviting him in.
Thankfully, this place is pretty safe. Having a super hacker as a Master and girlfriend really helps out this process.]
Thanks for coming by on short notice. I got approval to work with my idea so I'd like to hear your take on it too.

[He enters, relaxing once he's inside.]
This idea differs from fighting her this time, I presume?
This idea differs from fighting her this time, I presume?
It does. I'm going with a more indirect route here. What I want to do is provide enough fake data for those monitoring us that they end up having to waste time parsing through the outlying data and hopefully having that cause them to eliminate actual, legitimate data as a way to explain what's happening.
Does that make sense?
Does that make sense?
Yes, though it sounds easier said than done. How do you propose to go about providing this fake data?
With my own abilities. For those who plan on venturing into ViViD, they can see me and I'll create a Noble Phantasm for their use temporarily. ....a weapon of legend.
[Because that literally needed a description.]
In short, it'll grant players power well beyond their means and definitely send alert to whomever is watching. With Rin, I can hopefully keep out of sight so the methods aren't discovered and we can keep those who are 'above us' guessing.

Is that wise? CERES already seems keen to control the population here with heavily armed robots. Throw around data that the otherworlders are more powerful than they actually are, and we might start to be perceived as a threat that needs to be brought to heel.
[Which could have its uses... But it could also backfire horribly.]
