How do you go about picking gifts?

[ He's just going to dive right in. No real introduction, but Steve figures that most people won't care too much about who is asking this or why. ]

I'm sure a lot of you are better at this than I am, so I guess I need some advice. How do you find a good gift for someone that already has far more than you've seen for half your lifetime? Not that I'm aiming to impress anyone, but it'd be nice to pull it off.

[ He grins a little. Okay, so maybe he's trying. Just a little. But Steve is rarely the one that surprises anyone else. He just wants a chance at doing something cool for a change. Of course, he's realistic and knows this is unlikely, but he can try. ]

I'm in a little over my head on this one. Everyone else always has the flashy stuff covered.

[ INTEREST: PIQUED. ]

yeah? what kinds of adventures?

[ Called out! Chase probably deserves that. ]

no i mean it! i've done a lot of reading on colonial america, like local history stuff. it's interesting

[livingsymbol]

Well, I've traveled to a few different countries and met some interesting people. And wildlife.

[ That is definitely downplaying it, but he isn't sure he wants to lead with "and I'm a superhero." ]

Mhm. It's okay, it's hard to compete with real magic, I guess.

[bastardofipswich]

is that what passes for an adventure where you're from, or are you MASSIVELY underselling it to me??

[ HE'S ON TO YOU.

Well. Not on to the superhero part. ]

no seriously i like history!

wait

you're making fun of me, aren't you?

[livingsymbol]

Well, there was a little more to it than that. But I'm sure you don't want to hear about boring non-magic history.

[ He is absolutely teasing. It's one of his hobbies. ]

Especially since all we've got to talk about is farming and building cabins.

[bastardofipswich]

you're killing me here! i want to know about your boring non-magic history!

[livingsymbol]

Well, back home I was a superhero.

[ Who would believe that? ]
