TOKEN of LOVE meme

What you have here is nothing special. A trifle, really. From the outside looking in, most people would think this item someone gave you was worth very little. Could you blame them for thinking that way? Even if the trinket is something like jewelry, it can't mean too much - yet to you, it means the world. The one who gave it to you is the person you love most, so its value to others doesn't even register. What only deepens your appreciation is that, whether directly or indirectly, they proved your feelings are returned by giving you this token.

Only to you. No one else. For that reason, it's one of a kind and priceless.

This item could be a gift picked out just for you or a precious possession of theirs they decided to give to you. Maybe they want it back; maybe it's yours to keep forever and ever. Its purpose could be to show the world you all are together or a simple, kind gesture. Did they give you a long confession in combination with your gift? It's possible they didn't even think much of their action at the time, and you've put all the meaning into it - ie, it was a piece of clothing they let you use to keep warm or some cloth they tore for a bandage.

In the end, the circumstances don't detract from how much you treasure this meaningful token...and what it represents, you never want to lose.

((ooc: Likely a fine blue ribbon, a silver chain or a metal earring/cuff))

((ooc: Probably a ribbon; in very special cases she'll give her ring or her necklace.))

((ooc: A piece of dragon bone or the shell of one of her dragons' eggs))

(The bracelet, if one can even give the title to such a crude loop of chain, seems like an uncharacteristic gift from a man who adores wealth and finery. If you got to this point with Jim Craddock he's probably given you far prettier trinkets on the path from idle amusement to love interest.

But if he's given it to you, he'll have told you what it is. The chain is made of Nth metal, a Thanagarian alloy and the only nonmagical material capable of striking or binding a ghost. It's most commonly used on him by Batman or the Hawkspouses...quite a miracle that Jim would willingly give such a weapon to someone else.)

ooc | elsa will give you a silver chain with a blue crystal snowflake pendant c:

[An arrowhead pendant (not sharp, obviously)- also available in surrogate familial and platonic love variations.]

[ Kaito will give either a white, thorn-less rose or a unique playing card (likely some embellished version of the Ace of Clubs) depending on the individual. ]

[You can have your choice between:

1) A wee plushy keychain sheep.
2) A simplistic little cross on a chain.
3) A pocket hand mirror.]

[Don't expect anything grand. She may not even realize her feelings yet. Likely it'll be something small, but practical and thoughtful. It also won't be home cooking, so be grateful for that.]
