Shinjuku Market District
Aikiko settled down once she was in the lesser crowded section of the market district and began to look at items on display for sale as she gave thought on what to buy for those of the ship she crewed with. It was new concept for her as she had spent the time of Giving of Gifts, alone and on her own. Even on the UOCPF Blueflower, the crew didn't give gifts, unless there was something to be gained or as a reward for past outstanding work in accomplishing the mission.
The few who had any meaning to her had left the ship for other assignments. That left a whole new set of people to get to know. She knew Cadet Stark loved guns. Specially the ones that made loud noises and caused maximum damage. She browsed through several shops that sold leather accessories for weapons. It took a while to find what she wanted to give to Tony. She bought it and moved on. A very nice piece of leather with pockets and straps to hold weapons, ammunition, and other nefarious accessories. When rolled up and tied, it was easy to carry with a strap on the outside so it laid diagonally across ones back.
She entered a store that specialized in knives and their accessories. She found a very nice 17 centimeter stiletto with sheath of the finest leather with a clip on it. Perfect for clipping onto shirt neckline and hang down the back under the cover the hair. It would be perfect for Hanako, since she was always in the limelight and hearing stories about her from the shop owners and employees when they found out she crewed under Hanako on the Eucharis. It was perfect for them social occasion that displaying a weapon of any sort was a serious breech of etiquette.
As for Mitsuko, since she likes to wear glasses, Aikiko found the latest in eyewear yet it was special. It had a mini-transceiver, microphone and a volumetric HUD that only she could see. Also to enhance her vision to enlarge what she was looking at. It provided automatic polarization to the lenses to keep unwanted light from reaching light sensitive eyes.
Kale, him being a tech, a working programable hover sled with a hand held remote control to carry stuff when he crawled into tight places that required hands free to manuever and work. It even met YSS Army standard for durability and ship board usage.
For Taharial, a case with a limited range teleporter to retrieve and send stuff to and from a desired location to help cut down on gear she had to carry when time was of essence.
Others of the crew, She got them a card wishing them the best for the next year. She didn't want to insult them in giving them something that would only gather dust and take up space that could be put to better use.
With her purchases, she headed back to hotet to secure them and then head out to enjoy the time remaining having fun and relaxation.
