A simple look at the Lunar New Year red envelope haul at HQ this year:
From the top down:
- Liu Siyuan is pretty old-school, so he gives leftover Chanukah gelt in a pretty standard red envelope.
- Zing’s DMS archivist Zimra gives out those strawberry candies (the ones frequently spotted in close proximity to grannies) in a festively punny red envelope
- Someone from the Department of Finance is red-green colourblind and also has a cruel sense of humour. FlowerBucks are not legal tender. (I liked the Monopoly money idea, Hidaney, but I reckoned some agents might actually get paid in that, so I had to make something even more useless.)
- Agents Doc and Vania quickly realised that DnD dice are also kinda expensive…
- Zing’s DOI agent Adrian enjoys this terrible pun. It’s based on 年年有余 (may you have plenty each year). The last word, plenty (yǘ), is homophonic with fish (yǘ). Hence, may you have (Swedish) fish each year.
Thanks to people who suggested red envelope content ideas!
