It’s my birthday today, so here is a little snippet! In Crème de la Crème there’s a degree of handwaving about birthdays - it would be repetitive to have everyone’s birthday mentioned, and setting your own birthday date just didn’t quite fit in, so it’s not something that features. However, here is what characters would get for the PC:
-Gonzalez: a delicious hazelnut-chocolate flavoured Zaledoan box of truffles that they’d look hopefully at in case you wanted to share. If you didn’t like the flavour, they’d be apologetic and eat them for you.
-Hartmann: a cupcake of the flavour of your choice, homemade. They would tell you about its flaws in advance but their baking skills are really very good.
-Max: would forget it was your birthday, then track down a pretty snow globe depicting a Fenburg winter market
-Freddie: a scarf for the cold weather, and they confess that one of their mothers helped them with the stitches
-Delacroix: taking a trip out at night to witness a meteor shower, along with hot chocolate. They’d get cold, but would tell you all about the mythological significance of the shower
-Karson: a carved knick-knack, maybe of an animal; they wouldn’t volunteer its provenance but if asked would say they made it
-Auguste: an expensive jewelled brooch, earring(s) or pocket watch that perfectly matches your style and colouring.
-Florin: an expensive jewelled brooch, earring(s) or pocket watch … that they’re keen to mention is very expensive, and later turns out to have been pilfered from their dads’ collection
-Rosario: a trip to a major landmark, then a meal at a fancy restaurant with food you’ve mentioned you’re fond of
-Blaise: at the start of the game, something back-handed like a book on how to dress or express yourself better, or a hat that’s fashionable but unflattering. After the game… an accessory that suits your tastes, or a book that’s a genre that you’ve mentioned you’re keen on.
