Imagine a game of White Elephant between the companions, the sort where there's an array of presents that each of them have contributed and there's steals involved. Who steals from who and what does everyone end up with at the end of the night?

Mod did two of these type of Gift exchanges over the Holidays! MOD ISSORRY FOR BEING SO LATE AHHHH FORGIVE HER.

Ummm so I’m just gonna lay out somerules since everyone seems to play this game differently.Everyone get’s a number and picks or steals anonymous presents from a bunch inthat order, but the person who goes first has the choice to steal at the endsince they couldn’t at the beginning!!And a gift can only be stolen a maximum 3 times! so the third time the samegift is stolen, no one else can steal from you anymore!

I’m going to list companions in orderof the turns they got!Ummm, you might want to read them all for them in order for them to makesense…

Dogmeat: Solehad just brought Dogmeat a Brahmin Bone so he was just happy to watch from thesidelines and bark loudly with everyone when things got heated.

Deacon: Somehowhe got super lucky and ended up getting to go first, much to everyone’s dismaysince he bragged about it. He tiptoed around the batch of presents, choosingthe biggest one of course, even though it wasn’t even really wrapped, more likejust tossed in a bag. Upon opening the unusually large and heavy gift, it wasrevealed to just be a really large heavy pipe.“What the hell guys?”“Pipe is good weapon!”Of course it was from Strong, and of course no one would be stealing that fromhim, besides maybe Strong himself! Good thing he gets to steal at the end.

Ada: Ada wasn’t exactlysure why she was invited to play a gift exchange since she’s just a robot. Butshe brought a gift of miscellaneous parts to build stuff, you could probablymod weapons with them too. She just put them all in a box and stuck a crunchedup ball of newspaper to the lid.Ada picked out a small box that she figured would be easy to open with robothands, and was surprised to see it was a rather nice pair of sunglasses.“What!!! You guys are kidding, those glasses are so cool!!” Deacon cried out.“Shut up, you’re fault for being greedy!! They’re Ada’s!!” Piper piped up,trying to secure the classes to Ada’s face.“Thank you for the gift.” Ada answered, crooked glasses on her metal head.

Codsworth: ‘Ohmy there seems to be a range of gifts here!” Codsworth tried to joke, handingSole his ticket that had the number 3 on it. He carefully floated around and picked a random gift from the pile, notinterested in stealing anyone’s gift from them, (How rude!) He ended upopening… a stack of various magazines, a few comics and even a few 18+ones. “Oh my…” replied Codsworth, moving all the books to a pile.“You’re welcome!! See that’s how you give gifts Strong!!” Deacon piped up,owning up to the gift.“Shit! Is that Grognak in there?” MacCready piped up as well, his interestpeeking as everyone else laughed.“You bet kid!!” Deacon smiled.

Hancock: It was Hancock’s turn to choose a gift now and hestepped up to plate. “Don’t worry Cods, I ain’t the kinda guy to steal anotherman’s porn.” He joked, heading to the batch of presents and picking one from theremaining. He gently shook the one he picked and sat back down to open it. Hancockhimself has wrapped up a relatively in shape tricorn hat, hoping to foolwhoever opened it, but of course he also filled it up with an assortment ofused, new and empty chems of various sorts… He unwrapped the present he chose tofind a relatively nice and untarnished switchblade. “Oh shit! This is so sweet.” He toyed with it, pretending to stab X6-88 who wassitting next to him.“Don’t even pretend, ghoul.” X6 replied, glaring at him, a firm hand on Hancock’swrist.

Gage: “I’mstarting to think you guys don’t know what a gift is.” He stepped up to takehis turn not really interesting in anyone else’s gifts, he looked around thelot of gifts and companions seeing who would have wrapped what and who wouldhave actually maybe thought of a good gift. “Alright is this is some weapon of mass destruction or a lot of useless comicsor attire, the rest of you guys are truly screwed.” Sitting down and openingthe box he found himself a ¾ full bottle of bourbon. He shrugged.“This would have been good if whoever wrapped it didn’t drink half of it.”“Eh, A man gets thirsty, don’t want it give it back!” Old Longfellow piped up,moving his flask from his mouth back to his pocket.

Curie: “Ohmy, that means it’s my turn now yes? Number six!” Curie was super excited to beable to participate in the gift exchange with everyone. She even really lovedpicking out what to bring to the exchange. She settled on teddy bear with somemedical supplies and stimpacks, and tried to wrap it best she could with whatshe had. She looked for a present from the middle, and picked out the nicestwrapped one of the bunch. She sat back down smiling as everyone watched whathorrors would unfold next. When she opened it though, a really pretty handmadeornament was revealed. “Oh my goodness this is beautiful! Thank you!”Preston smiled relieved it was Curie who opened his present and not half ofthese other hoodlums he called his friends, “You’re welcome, I was hopingsomeone would appreciate it, Sturges helped me make it.”Needless to say, even if Curie had opened the best present in the world, no onewould have had the heart to steal from her.

Preston: AfterCurie it was conveniently Preston’s turn. He turned the remaining stack ofpresent in the middle and picked out a decent sized one and returned to hisseat to open it. Lucky for him, he ended up opening Hancock’s gift of theTricorn hat. Honestly Preston immediately knew it was Hancock, and was proud ofhim for not just wrapping chems, until they all spilled out onto the floor.Preston tried to pretend to be thankful, and smiled and said his thanks despitehis disinterest in chems.“He, don’t look so glum, that hat would totally suit you!” Hancock laughed, hisplan having worked, seeing Preston’s surprised face turn sour.

MacCready: “Awwwsweet my turn!!” MacCready had packed a nice cache of ammo and a few candiesinto a bag and was planning on just picking his own gift until the stack ofcomics and mags were revealed. And since they were revealed, MacCready was beingreally impatient in his seat, trying to eye up Codsworth’s stack of magazinesfrom across the circle. He quickly stood up and walked over to the Mr. Handyand grabbed his stack of books. “No hard feeling right?” MacCready gave therobot a friendly tap on his… back. And returned to his seat a big smile on hisface as everyone else shook their heads.“Heyyy you guys mind your own business, a man can have his interests!”“Well then I must steal or pick a new gift yes?” Codsworth asked, receivingconfirmation, he looked around at everyone’s gifts and saw Preston lookingrather unimpressed. He flew over and took the hat from Preston, much to hissurprise.“Well I’m always looking for new headgear these days, hope you don’t mind Sir.”Preston nodded his thanks and returned to the circle to pick a new gift ratherthan steal. This time he got luck and picked Curies adorable gift, which heappreciated and said his thanks.

Piper: Sincethere were so few girls in the gift exchange, Piper decided it would behilarious to bring some ladies undergarments. And they were actually super niceall things considered. She was just waiting for one of the guys to pick hergift. On her turn she piced out a decently heavy box, not wanting to seal fromanyone. She ended up opening MacCready’s stash of ammo and candy. “Oh whaaaat this is actually super sweet, not going to lie. And here I thoughthe lot of you had no idea how to be considerate.” She joked, already startingto dig into the candies.“You’re welcome!! Now you can’t make fun of me for choosing this!” MacCreadyresponded, barely paying attention as he started to skim through his comics.

Danse: Hewas sitting nervously in his seat. He was starting to think he went overboardwith the gift he brought. He ended up fixing up a power fist piece from thejunk pile at the Boston Airport and putting it in the pile since he had no ideawhat else to bring. When it was finally his turn he stood, thinking if heshould take the ammo crate Piper just opened or if he should just pick a newgift. He gave in and reached for a smaller bag amongst what was left, earning amuffled laugh from Piper. Danse hesitated for a moment but ended up stickingwith his decision. And as he opened his gift and pulled out ladies undergarments, his face turnedbright red as he shoved them quickly back into the bag and put the bag on thefloor. Everyone burst out laughing as he put his head in his hands. Why did hehand out with these people.“Hey hey Danse!! Don’t worry !! You can give those to your girlfriend if youever find one!!” Piper managed to say between laughs

Cait: Manshe was having a blast laughing at everyone’s gifts they got, if she would haveknow it was gonna be a bunch of gag gifts, she wouldn’t have tried so hardsharpening and cleaning the switchblade she brought. But she was glad Hancocklike it, and got a laugh out of him pretending to stab X6. She stood, thinkingcarefully about what to steel or if she’d risk taking the last large box thatremaining in the middle. The booze and ammo was pretty tempting but she gave into curiosity and took the box from the middle,“Shit this is heavy what the hell is in here?” Cait asked to no one inparticular.What out! It could be a pipe!” Deacon warned.“You wish.” She answered still laughing about it. When she opened the box, a Powerfistwas revealed and she nearly lost her mind.“Holy Shite!! This is flipping awesome!!” She cried out.Danse just gave a small wave, still embarrassed. Lucky for him, Cait gave him akiss on the cheek as thanks.

X6-88: Hefelt bad for Danse, but not nearly enough to take that burden off hisshoulders, unfortunately Danse would be stuck with that for the rest of thegame. He looked around the circle at everyone before standing and deciding totake a smallish container from the remaining few in the middle. He shook itgently and immediately knew what it was and was happy with his choice. Heswiftly opened the box, a tiny smile gracing his lips as he revealed a stash ofcaps, and a couple fusion cells mixed in. He made a good choice. And theinvestment on the sunglasses he brought had been returned.“What the hell who just gives away caps like that? That’s not allowed.” Deaconcomplained, still holding onto his pipe.Hey, I don’t know what you’re talking about, that’s what I call a gift if I’veever seen one.” Gage owned up to having packaged it. Proud of his work.

Old Longfellow: Hehad been having a good chuckle here and there, but was mostly trying to drownout the noise of the rowdy kids by sipping from his flask. When it was finallyhis turn, there were only 3 gifts left in the middle. But lucky for everyonewho already had something they wanted, he didn’t care too much with what hewould end up with. Picking a random box from the remaining, he quickly openedit, revealing pristine carton of cigarettes.“Well, shit, and here I thought I didn’t care which one I’d have at the end. Youkids better not still this from me. An old man needs his tobacco.” He leaned backin his chair, fumbling around trying to open a pack. He was at least gonna haveone before someone stole it from him.

Nick Valentine: Hehad been sitting off to the side a bit, with Curie Preston, enjoying a goodchuckle every once in a while at some of the gag gifts but mostly just keepingto himself and resigning to the end when it was finally his turn. He stood,cracking something in his back as he eyed up the carton of cigarettes he hadbrought to the exchange. He could just keep his own gift, but what was the funin that, he wasn’t THAT old. “Don’t worry Longfellow, I wont take your cigs as much as I want to.” Hesubmitted to choosing a gift from the centre. Picking a decent sized box with apaper bow he opened it to reveal a miscellaneous assortment of parts.Everyone tried to hold back laughter, thinking how fitting it was for thefalling apart synth to get a box of parts.“Yeah yeah laugh it up. I get it I’m falling apart, Haha.” He looked aroundseeing Sole smile at him trying to comfort him. “Guess I could always use thisstuff to fix up a couple guns right?”

Strong: “Strong’sturn now?” Everyone else had already gone and had gifts sitting in their laps.“Yep, go on Strong!” Cait encouraged.“Strong will take the large Pipe back please puny human.” He reached for thepipe he brought to the exchanged, insulted Deacon didn’t appreciate it andfigured he’d use it himself.“Oh yeah!! Thanks big buy!! You had be waiting all night!” Deacon was kiddy, helooked around the circles at everyone’s faces as they huddled trying to keep theirgifts out of sight, or at least most of them were trying to do so, ahem Danseahem.Now Deacon was faced with a dilemma, steal an awesome gift from someone, orrisk it all on the last one?“I can’t get bad luck twice right?” The curiousity was killing him and he endedup reaching for the last gift which was considerably smaller than the one heinitially chose. Unwrapping it revealed. A couple decently clean mugs and a 200year old can of instant coffee.“If you like, I can make you a cup of that!” Codsworth perked up, happy someonefinally opened the gift he brought.“Ahhh hell at least it’s not a Steel Pipe, I could use a drink.” Deaconsubmitted.
