Toys For Orphans

[*Kari_Shadowfox]

After overhearing a Prime discussing the concept of "Midwinter's Day" with an aasimar, Isolde decided that she'd find a way to get all the children at the Gatehouse Orphanage some new toys this year. Setting out with her usual monetary donation to the Gatehouse, she goes looking for the toymakers of Sigil, either asking them to donate toys, and when they don't donate, buying what she wants. She's never pushy about the ordeal, taking the first answer they give to her question with the bland demeanor common to her fellow faction members. She buys toy soldiers, miniature clockwork modrons, toy ships, drums, balls, blocks, and much more.

After surfing the toy shops for gifts, she returns to her flat, where she proceeds to make a few more - knit hats and gloves, for colder days, sometimes a scarf, and a fair number of well-crafted rag dolls and plushies from earlier donations. All the toys go into a specially made bag of holding for the occasion, a deep evergreen with gold tassels to close it.

The next day Isolde dedicates to distributing the toys she'd collected, at least one for every child. Some of the children soon find out that the scarves, hats and gloves seem to keep them warmer than any they've had before (largely due to subtle enchantments on them.)

Finding she has many extra, she takes to the streets of the Hive, handing out gifts to any children and even some adults she sees.
