“Forgotten Vale”

Day 30 - Ghost

Find me amidst the wayward pines.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, my friends! ❤️

Hannibal hopes you enjoy your gift, wrapped with such care! 😘🎀

GUYS THIS TOOK ME MULTIPLE HOURS. I DID IT ALL IN ONE SITTING. PLEASE. TRUST ME, YOU WILL FIND YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTER IN HERE. GOD PLEASE THIS TOOK ME FOREVER.

Abel Gideon: He accepts it, but he loses it immediately. He doesn't ask for a replacement. I'm sorry. He'd make one for you, though, if he was bored enough.

Abigail Hobbs: She wears it!! It's a great anxiety toy, especially if she can twist it around her wrist or spin the beads on it. It breaks/falls off at some point, and she feels really bad about it, but she wore it as long as she could. She makes one for you, too, and it's super pretty. Some of the beads were carved -- by her -- from deer bones.

Alana Bloom: She wears it on days where she's certain that she'll see you, and on those days, she always makes sure she's wearing it in a noticeable way. She doesn't wear it every single day, and this is because she doesn't want it to feel like a commitment of some sort. Also, she's afraid of losing it.

Antony Dimmond: He's somewhat awkward about receiving it, and probably tries to sound ironic about his enthusiasm, but he's grateful. Actually, he doesn't know how to feel about it. Instead of wearing it on his wrist, he either wears it on his ankle or keeps it in his pocket.

Bedelia du Maurier: She'd keep it on her desk, or she would hang it on a jewelry rack. She likes to look at it, but she doesn't wear it. It isn't her style, but it serves as a reminder of her connection with you.

Bella Crawford: She gives you a hug and promises to keep it forever. Before she dies, she removes the plastic beads and makes a necklace that combines the beads from your bracelet with some of her old favorites (which she never knew what to do with, since she thought they were "too nice" to use on a regular craft). At her funeral, you receive the necklace, along with a handwritten note from Bella. She was thankful to finally have something to make with her old beads, it says.

Beverly Katz: When you give it to her, she smiles and puts it on immediately. Sometimes it's on her wrist, sometimes it's on her ankle, and sometimes she uses it to tie up her hair. She fidgets with it and twists it around when she's really stuck on something, and she admires the colors often. She starts closely analyzing your wardrobe to see what colors would look best if she made one for you, which she was in the process of doing when she died. You never learned what happened to the bracelet you gave her.

Brian Zeller: His response is underwhelming, and to be honest, he probably keeps it in a junk drawer somewhere. He understands the thought behind the gesture, though, so he offers to buy you a drink after you give it to him.

Chiyoh: It's hidden, but it's there. She's wearing it under her long sleeves.

Franklyn Froideveaux: He gave one to you first; you're just returning the favor.

Freddie Lounds: She acts like it isn't a big deal when you present it to her, and she probably makes a snide comment about it, but it's proudly displayed and clipped to her satchel at all times. When she gets in her car, she always checks to make sure it didn't fall off her carabiner while she was investigating the crime scene. She'll never tell you, but it's obvious that she treasures it.

Frederick Chilton: Much like Freddie, he pretends that it doesn't matter, even describing it as "childish" when you give it to him. However, when you offer to take it back, he refuses to give it to you and slides it into his pocket. One day, weeks later, he trips in the hallway. With his pantleg hitched slightly, you can see the thin outline of a beaded bracelet under his black dress socks. Oh, he also wears it to sleep, as well as in the shower. This man does NOT take it off, and if it breaks, he asks (somewhat desperately) for a new one.

Garret Jacob Hobbs: He either pretends to lose it (drops it on the ground and kicks it in the gutter) or gives it to Abigail so she can "gift" it to one of his victims. Most likely, he chooses the latter. Regardless, it isn't used properly.

Hannibal Lecter: He lectures you on the history and cultural significances of friendship bracelets worldwide, then wears it (under his suits, rarely visible unless he wants it to be) everywhere except the kitchen. When it breaks, he gathers the beads and strings from the floor and incorporates the materials into a beautiful sculpture about friendship, which he dedicates to you.

Jack Crawford: He thinks you're joking around or making fun of him, so he rejects it at first. However, you find a way to sneak it onto his desk when he isn't looking, which amuses him and makes him laugh. A few days later, the bracelet is immortalized in a small frame on his office wall.

Jimmy Price: He thanks you, and immediately points out the fact that the bracelet is his favorite color. He's surprised that you noticed, and it makes his day. Throughout the workday, he goes on tangents about the history of friendship bracelets (like Hannibal did, but Price is nerdier and worse) and he explains every step in the process of how plastic beads are made, recommending several documentaries along the way. Though he keeps it in his pocket when he's digging around in crime scenes, he always has it with him.

Margot Verger: She's very polite about receiving it, and you swear you see the smallest hint of a smile. She hangs it on her bedpost, or wraps it around her bedside lamp. She would feel childish for wearing it, and she doesn't want to attract unnecessary attention, but she wants it to be in a place she'll see it every day. When she needs some extra confidence, she wears it around her ankle.

Mason Verger: You shoot him 67 times in the chest and he dies and everyone gathers around him to step on him and crush his ribcage and jump up and down on his dead body in celebration. I'm sorry but I can't do this one. Mason fans dni. Shoutout to the actors & writers for making and portraying such a detestable character; everyone involved deserves a friendship bracelet for their hard work. This guy just disturbs me to my very core, and I can't get past it. Had to include him, though, since he's a very important character and I didn't want to pretend he doesn't exist.

Matthew Brown: He smiles wide and thanks you, and he wears it everywhere. When he's bored, you see him staring at it and admiring it. In return, Matthew gives you a bracelet of his own, but you're pretty sure it's made from human hair and teeth, specifically from a person you mentioned hating. It's odd, but it's how he shows his love.

Miriam Lass: She uses it as a hair tie or keeps it on her water bottle. She doesn't like the feeling of bracelets, but she wants to keep it in a way that's visible and mobile.

Molly Graham: The two of you make friendship bracelets together on a snowy day, talking about whatever and eating fun snacks. She wears it on her ankle until it breaks, but she will always have a photo of the two of you holding up your matching bracelets and smiling.

Peter Bernardone: He loves it, and he wears it all the time. He washes it when it gets dirty, which is often because of his job in the stables. He tries to make one for you, but he struggles with fine motor skills, so he eventually gives up and asks if he can tie some twine around your wrist instead. When it breaks, he feels very sorry and asks for another. You make a few different backups for him, which makes him feel very loved.

Reba McClane: She can't see it, so you make it with textured beads that would provide a better sensory experience. She likes it, and she feels it on her wrist when she's bored or stressed. Reba is very thankful for your friendship, and expresses it frequently. She doesn't know exactly how to thank you, so she lets you pick the movie when you hang out next time.

The Stag: Thanks to you, the stag's antlers are now accessorized to perfection :) no more nightmares; just a colorful cervid.

Tobias Budge: If you make the bracelet normally, Tobias won't care for it. He critiques your color choice and remarks that it would look silly against his fashion sense. However, if you use high-end materials, craft it very carefully, and add well-placed musical symbols and elements to the project, he will appreciate it greatly. He might even play a song for you.

Walter Graham: In his opinion, friendship bracelets are for girls, but he thanks you and asks how you made it. You show him how to do it, and he makes one for you, his mom, and Will.
