Can I just ask for everything is that cheating. I'm so sorry.

(I definitely want to see windchimes/STUFF IN BEDROOM/SCROLL IF ANY MORE EXISTED THAN I SAW!)

[rebells]

THERE WERE A BUNCH OF WINDCHIMES SO I AM NOT DOING THEM ALL everyone who has made a strong positive impression on Swift had one (although . . . he has an interesting definition of "positive," namely IF YOU ARE NOT FUNNY IT TAKES SIGNIFICANTLY MORE SUSTAINED THREADING). Y'all will have to ask individually!

The following people had windchimes:

CORAL (kit)
RUBY (c.c., zuko)
CARNELIAN (alena, ling)
HELIODOR (tsuruume, church, MARINE wow how did I miss her)
PERIDOT (cassie, rose)
EMERALD (winter)
TURQUOISE (echo, torrent, rolo)
SAPPHIRE (apple, aang, yuki)
AMETHYST (teito)
KUNZITE (nunnally, lambdadelta)
STERLING (dave, hakuren, lloyd)
ONYX (sasuke)

as well as his canon party members.

I will do JASPERITEMS and scrolls in another comment.

[rebells]

THERE WERE FIVE BEDS IN JASPER (Erika's is out on the lawn, and Greed's has never been there), and all of them had items! They were generally things he associated with the teammate in question/things he thought they might like. Pitch got beads instead because Swift doesn't know him nearly as well.

IVORY'S BED was the nestlike bed and had a cake-shaped pillow in the center, a feather on the pillow, and a sprig of typha tucked into the nest somewhere.
A rush of feeling passes through you--trust and affection, camaraderie, concern, fond amusement, and . . . a little bit of guilt, too.

AZURE'S BED was normal and looked . . . however Azure normally keeps his bed. Tucked under the covers were a drawing pad + pencil and a nice knife, "suitable for stabbing people or cutting fruit." There were also some scales in the sheets when you got closer.
A rush of feeling passes through you--affection, camaraderie, concern, fond amusement . . . protectiveness and fierce love. There's a bit of a mothering impulse tucked in there too.

SAYA'S BED had a trail of slime coming out from it. Tucked into it were a couple of books, a package of modeling clay, and some Jasper-colored beads and wire.
A rush of feeling passes through you--concern, watchfulness, protectiveness . . . affection, fierce protectiveness, and love. There's a bit of a mothering impulse tucked in there too.

PITCH'S BED was done up however Pitch's bed usually is, and had two Jasper-colored beads under the covers!
You get a strong sense of exhaustion and weariness off the beads--a feeling like being dragged forcibly somewhere you're not yet ready to go. But that's mixed in with a fierce protectiveness and concern, and . . . the edge of something else, something exasperated but warm.

SWIFT'S BED was . . . Swift's bed, and had stuffed animals on it (representing Jasper's absent members). It also had a NOTEBOOK OF SAD FEELINGS tucked under the covers; the notebook was addressed to Shirley and contained a lot of rambling about the evolving saga of Swift's Jasperfeels. I'm . . . kind of glad no one looked at this because I also didn't write it up . . . .
+ the rabbit!! was Mitsuki and had an apron on |D feelings associated were frustration, exasperation, a little bit of condescension, but also fierce protectiveness and warm affection.
+ THE FOX was Eve! Touching the fox brings you a rush of feelings--a little bit of exasperation, yes, but also love, comfort, and a certain kind of understanding . . . a sense of shared burdens, of trust. You watch my back and I'll watch yours, okay?
+ there was also a secret stained glass picture thing under the bed, except no one looked under the bed, not even Erika. :(

descrips!

THESE WERE NOT COMPLETE DESCRIPTIONS also I had one for Jasper but I hated it so I summarized for Erika. Members who get descrips in the team scroll are in brackets.

CORAL
Friendly, outgoing, adventurous as a whole, although there are certainly a few outliers among this group. They all have animal names. [Rabbit, Shark, Kit, Mouse]

RUBY
A tendency to spinelessness, or more charitably, over-discretion, although this is reasonably balanced out by other components of the team. Soft-headed at times, overly earnest at others, presumably something else entirely on different occasions; a team made up of disparate elements, but extremely close, and viciously protective of one another. "Ruby is a team that will protect itself at all costs." They seem to die a lot in games--lack of strategy, or simply lack of luck? Worth considering further. [Shade, Oz, Tavros; C.C. and Zuko got their own scrolls]

CITRINE
Idealistic, reckless, self-righteous and self-centered. Prone to acting before thinking through the consequences of a decision, and with a tendency to filter things through their points of view without regard or awareness of anyone else. On the whole, they attempt to be, and would like to be seen as, noble, although their own behavior seems to get in the way of this. [Riku, Berry, Drift; Percy gets his own scroll]

CARNELIAN
"Both friendly and viciously antisocial." A mix of personalities, but they're all quite odd--a little off, shall we say--and many of them are difficult or ruthless. This team seems to have something of a cold streak. [Ling, Alena, Shiny]

TIGER'S EYE
"Smart and friendly." Most of them are relatively straightforward people. Not a lot is known about this team; it might be wise to investigate further. [Mitchell, Raven, Kitsunebi, Josh]

HELIODOR
"More enthusiastic than thoughtful" -- its members don't lack for energy, but are prone to acting before thinking. Some are friendly, others . . . mm, less so, shall we say? They seem to do a lot of roughhousing and yelling, but this is a team which genuinely cares about one another. [Tsuruume, Apollo, (Jet, Fuck, Rei); Marine has her own scroll]

PERIDOT
Ruthless in games, reportedly, or at least they were once. Friendly and idealistic on the whole, but not without their elements of cleverness, and this is a team with another tendency to difficult pasts. This is a team that doesn't necessarily get along, but it's more likely an issue of communication or personality clash than anything else. [Beatrice, Emil, Ventus; Cassie and Rose have their own scrolls]

EMERALD
Quiet. They keep to themselves, evidently, and seem to be mostly the retiring type. [Stealth, Ferron, Winter]

TURQUOISE
Reportedly close, but perhaps more concerned with having fun than winning games. Seems to have a mix of personalities, from the standoffish to the friendly to the decidedly odd. [Echo, Torrent, Breeze, Tsunami, Rolo]

SAPPHIRE
A friendly, generous team. Cheerful, sometimes determinedly so; prone to idealism, but practical as well. Apparently they enjoy eating. [Selenia, Mau, Apple, Sayaka, Red; Yuki gets his own scroll]

IOLITE
"Withdrawn, standoffish, not friendly with their own team." A mix of different types, some friendlier than others, some who may be more deceptive than they first appear. [Vincent, Spitfire]

AMETHYST
"Informative, withdrawn, not driven." Another team that keeps to themselves. Quiet, and have some amount of awkwardness when interacting with others. A tendency to dangerous or painful pasts, perhaps? May also have a bit of a stupid streak, but to what extent? [Teito, Syaoran, Ryner, Dio]

KUNZITE
Friendly, laid-back, kind. They enjoy tea. While outwardly polite and cheerful, even childish, they display a certain awareness of themselves and others which distinguishes them from the naively carefree. [Meadow, Shes, Lambda]

STERLING
As a whole, idealistic and a bit soft-headed. Some of them are more interesting than others, however. [Lloyd, Thorn, Mikage, Flynn, Blizzard, Dave, Tiger, Hakuren]

ONYX
Supposedly more competent than their counterparts, but I have not, to date, observed a difference. [Sasuke, Flame, Throne]

EVERYONE Swift has met has a descrip, along with people he hasn't but has been told about.

[debossy]

I'M SO SORRY YOU HAVE TO PASTE SO MUCH STUFF FOR ME HOPEFULLY OTHER PEOPLE ARE ALSO ENJOYING THIS XD

IN RETURN RELATIONSHIP FOR YOU! (And then you can reverse me after you get to everyone else)

Sakuya has been punched a whole lot in the feelings since Unbooking and PROBABLY AT LEAST 50% OF IT HAS BEEN SWIFT'S FAULT! Or not his fault so much as Swift-related. The mistletoe thread they had surprised him and affected him a lot; he'd been extremely on edge and afraid before that, but it reassured him of his place on the team, which he'd been very unsure of, because Swift is the person he understands the least sometimes on Jasper. (Also the most, sometimes. It's a thing.) He honestly wasn't sure if Swift hated him or was angry or disappointed in him and the thing about Sakuya is that he's normally not a guy who gives a fuck if that's true. He honestly doesn't care if he's liked, in most situations. But this one is different, because for one thing he's invested in Jasper being a harmonious team (because it's important for games and maintaining sanity in daily life when you live with people)--but also because when he got back he was alone and afraid and had no one but his team to turn to, and he didn't know what he would do if they turned away, so he didn't know how to ask anyone to reach out to him. Especially not Swift, who turned away from him that first night he was back, even if Sakuya understood why and wasn't really offended by it per se. (IT WAS SUCH A SWIFT THING TO DO.)

Anyway, that thread assuaged his fears, because he realized how deeply Swift loves Jasper and that they have a lot in common in some ways, and he was able to say some things that had been weighing on his mind and it was awkward but it was excusable and it wasn't met with scorn or irritation. So Sakuya felt a lot better about Jasper stuff after that. THEN THE HEART GAME HAPPENED which was a gigantic punch to the heart in a lot of ways. Sakuya doesn't yet remember what it's like to be someone who would stand alongside his friends to save the world and risk his life for them, and he honestly had no idea Swift was that kind of person, so in a way he's just . . . in awe. MY TEAMMATE IS AN AMAZING INDIVIDUAL. He sure hides it well! Plus there was a lot of windchime dere and True Heart dere and Sakuya knows well now his place in Swift's heart, and it's such a vast thing that he can hardly begin to grasp it, and if he thinks about it too hard he gets wobbly squishy weepy embarrassing feelings.

(Platonic ones.)

Anyway tl;dr Sakuya would trust Swift with his life and the lives of the rest of Jasper and will do everything he can to stand alongside him in that and never let harm come to him. There's a strong sense that not only is this a teammate and friend, this is an individual whose life is truly worth preserving because he brings good into the world, and that's not a sense that Sakuya feels easily.

EVEN IF YOU'RE STILL A JERK SOMETIMES ( '-')
