[There's no card or note, or anything that would indicate who might have left the gift. And should Frisk prove...successful, they won't have any idea, ever.
Giving them an instrument seems bizarrely unfitting, and they could always get one from a closet if they so choose. It has to be something personal, and they tried their best.
It's a scarf. Hopefully they'll be tangible enough to wear it if they so choose. It's stitched together out of a dark blue yarn, speckled with bits of silvery sequins like stars in a night sky. Wrapped up in the scarf is a tape, retro-style.
It's a mix-tape. It contains every song Frisk could find about rainbows.
[the next day the ghost sends them a selfie of themself wrapped in the scarf, mouth covered by it and their huger round eyes peeking over the stitches]
do you.... like my .....new scarf......?
[the rainbow mixtape wasn't very subtle, but they don't want to say it outright. that would be too awkward]
[There's no answer. It's better if they just...let things go. If Napstablook forgets who made the scarf, and who left them those gifts. As long as Frisk is able to disappear without leaving a trace, no one will have to think about it.
[Dorian has left you a really old-fashioned phonograph with a couple of wax cylinders to play on it. Some of them have nice music from famous composers such as Bach and Mozart, and are labeled as such. There is also a Victorian Christmas card with a note:]
Dear Napstablook,
I thought I could share a bit of human history with you this Christmas. The device I have left with you is called an Edison Phonograph, and it was one of the finest technologies in my era. Not to mention, I believe this device was the first of its kind; You couldn't record and play back any sort of audio before it was invented. There should be instructions included with the phonograph, so you should be able to make some use of it.
[the last time they saw his mirror, they was begging the real mettaton not to kill him. Mettaton's mirror had tied their cousin up, had struck them with the full intent to kill the ghost.
[but still
[why would sans lie? why would he lie about this?]

Date: 2017-05-06 04:32 am (UTC)what is it?
is... is he ok?
(no subject)
Date: 2017-05-06 04:53 am (UTC)but he's been talking to his mirror
and i think his mirror is like stalking him
when i've asked him about it he brushes it off like it's not a big deal
and he lied about having his mirror broken but i don't know why
something's going on between them and we don't think it's good
(no subject)
Date: 2017-05-09 05:38 am (UTC)he wouldn't....

[why would sans lie? why would he lie about this?]
are you... absolutely sure?
(no subject)
Date: 2017-05-10 02:51 am (UTC)not a hundred percent positive
[He's been second-guessing himself on and off for awhile now.]
but i think so
i think something's wrong
i just can't be positive because he won't talk to me
(no subject)
Date: 2017-05-14 06:14 am (UTC)i did see
I saw him talking to a mirror, the other day....

Date: 2017-05-15 12:05 am (UTC)alphys saw an unbroken mirror in his room a little while ago
i guess it all adds up huh

Date: 2017-05-18 11:52 pm (UTC)being kind of aloof, pulling back from people
like he wants to distance himself
and if he's definitely talking to his mirror
then his mirror must be influencing him
why else would he lie about it?
(no subject)
Date: 2017-05-24 08:37 pm (UTC)yeah....
he.....
might not be talking to me for other reasons though......

but if you've been noticing too…. it …. it might be that too….
how can we find out for sure….
(no subject)
Date: 2017-05-30 11:28 pm (UTC)keep asking him
i don't know
[He's been casting around for answers for weeks and everything he's done, everything he's said only seems to have made things worse.]
i just don't know
