((SFW Starter/Prompt)) - The first gift arrived on a Tuesday.

You come home drained from the day, kick the door shut with your heel, and toss your keys into the bowl by the entrance. You're halfway through shrugging off your jacket when something catches your eye — there it is, sitting neatly on your kitchen counter as if it has always belonged there.

A tooth.

A massive one that's the size of your pinkie finger. Curved like a predator’s hook, sharp enough to make your countertop feel uneasy. It rests on a familiar purple handkerchief with a diamond embroidered in the corner, arranged with unnerving care, almost like someone(Jester) tried to make it look elegant.

You just stare at it for a minute, then poke it with the handle of a spoon.

It stays put. It doesn’t hiss. It doesn’t explode.

It simply sits there, being a tooth.

With a resigned sigh, the kind you let out when you've already accepted that your life has taken a strange turn, you pick it up with a paper towel and drop it in a drawer. You try not to dwell on it, hoping this was just a one-time occurrence.

It isn't.

Because. Two days later, you wake to something brushing against your cheek.

Opening your eyes, you find a feather on your pillow: an enormous, red feather that's still warm as if it had just been plucked. It's the size of your forearm, and it carries a faint scent of incense and something metallic, distinctly reminiscent of Doctor.

You sit up slowly, holding the feather as if it might bite. And when you get ready for work, the feather joins the tooth in the drawer to be hopefully forgotten about. But things are never that simple; you immediately find the next gift at that little cafe you work at.

It's there when you open your small locker, which is a long lock of white hair that's tied in a little ribbon and **claw* inside. It's longer than one of your fingers, black, and curved, still faintly warm to the touch. Underneath is a note, written in elegant, careful handwriting: 'For you, my dear. - Pierrot'

You close the locker, only to reopen it again.

The gifts still haven’t vanished. Yep, it's real.

It goes to the drawer the moment you get home, which is slowly becoming a biological hazard of weird trophies.

The next day: Ticket Taker/Bill’s gift appears on a table where a suspiciously familiar man in a blue suit was sitting just as you're closing up the cafe with the kind of precision only he possesses. It's a navy-wrapped box, tied with a golden ribbon, and bears a neat tag that reads: 'To My Favourite Guest.'

Inside lies a small vial of what looks like smoke. It moves and shimmers in the light like it's almost alive. You turn the small glass vial over in your hand. There's a small cork and even a little ribbon around it. It would be almost cute if it wasn't for the fact you have no idea what that smoke even is.

Nonetheless, the drawer welcomes its next confusing offering.

Next is Harlequin, who doesn’t bother with subtlety. Because the next time he sees you, he walks right up to you and drops his gift directly into your hands, grinning like he just scored a win.

A green-tipped fang, still faintly dripping his venom, and one of his prettier and larger scales. The fang is about half the size of your ring finger, while the scale is about the size of your palm.

“Careful,” he purrs right in your ear, “it’s sentimental,” Harlequin adds, before laughing so hard he wheezes when you make that adorably confused face he loves as you nearly drop his gifts.

The fang and scale join the drawer; at this point, the drawer is now a shrine dedicated to monster biology.

Okay, this is getting ridiculous.

Is this normal? Is this healthy? Is this a cultural thing? Do monsters molt? Are you meant to do something with them? Are you meant to wear these 'gifts'? How would you even wear them?!
