miss ana! Im doing okay I guess its a little overwhelming how about you???? are you ok? there were people saying awful things about you but I didnt believe it for a second

DELIVERY

[underwhelms]

[ Delivered to You's residence (gosh, is it really okay for the Secret Storm project to just give out their addresses like this?! is there a PO box??) is a package that is wrapped in several layers of obnoxiously glittery red wrapping paper and tied with a golden ribbon. Why several layers? To build up the suspense, of course!

Once You finally struggles her way inside, she's going to find a modest collection of items. The first is a swath of red fabric, with a subtle but undeniable maple pattern. Alongside that is a simple silver necklace, and finally, a packaged in some parchment paper are... sticks of cinnamon?

There is also a note: ]

Dear You,

Merriest of greetings! I was chosen to pick out a few special items just for you.
The fabric is lovely, the necklace is beautiful, and the cinnamon will go well with some cider to keep you nice and warm!
I can't imagine you would have any complaints.
Please enjoy this wonderful selection, and remain cheerful this cold season.

Regards,
Secret J

[Oh no, this is really nice! She can definitely use a lot of this fabric! And the necklace is so pretty! And the cinnamon smells wonderful!

The necklace would have gone beautifully with her gala kimono. Ah well, there's always next year for that!]

[ Ana leaves a gift-wrapped package on her doorstep. Inside, there's a reindeer onesie complete with tiny antlers, a tin of homemade cookies, some assorted colorful thread, and a few yards of fancy brocade fabric. ]

[Weh gun mom you are the best

You is going to sleep in this onesie all the time now]

[romancekiller]

[ayes]

text. un: ana [ during the hostage situation ]

[nanamari]

You, are you okay?

[ayes]

[There will be no answer for some time. Until after the hostages are rescued.] hi, miss ana Im safe, dont worry ["safe" is notably not "okay.]

[punshots]

[ It's been admittedly easier to check in on his Wyver friends, especially in the first couple of days in the aftermath of the hostage situation. Still, that doesn't mean he isn't going to forget about his friends up in Olympia. Hardly.

So as he prepares to make the trip up there to check in on people, he shoots off a message to You, silently hoping her response will come quickly. He's already waited too long on this. ]

Hey, You? Sorry to bother you...know things are kinda...crazy right now. But I'm gonna be in Olympia today, if you wanna meet up for a bit.

[ayes]

[The reply isn't You's normal cheerful voice. In fact, it's text.

That might be the first hint to Prompto that something is off here.]

oh hey prompto
things are pretty crazy yeah
but if you want to meet I can do that

The only old Earth holiday I'd even heard of before history studies at the academy is Christmas, because that's the only one anyone still celebrates where I'm from.

[ayes]

thats kinda sad
there are a bunch of fun holidays other than christmas! nobody knows any of the others?

[seagoing]

I'm maybe coming around to the idea of getting a bird, but only one I can train to be my wingman.

I've been thinking teaching it some naughty or clever things to say, people always like a little innuendo right?

[ayes]

what
miss isabela why would you teach a parrot to have a naughty mouth

un: Crusader08 voice

[panzersoldat]

[ It's not a misfire. Not at all, but she's going to wish it was. Because on her message machine is the bombastic sounds of Reinhardt Wilhelm attempting to sing. Attempting because it's the worst sounding thing ever. It's like someone is killing a rhino with a wiffleball bat. Slow and painful as he all but yodels his way though one of the songs she sent him. ]

[ayes]

[what what is this oh no this is terrible but kind of cute] hahaha omg mr reinhardt did you really learn that song??

[seagoing]

Well, if it isn't my little sea captain in the making. Been a minute since I've had your bubbly energy lighting up my life. How are you faring up there in Olympia?

[She hadn't wanted to bring it up in a misfired text of course, but now that she's had rest she's getting to making sure the people she knows are alright.]

[ayes]

oh hey isabela
idk ive been ok i guess
stuffs been crazy

[the fact that this response is so devoid of that aforementioned bubbly energy is probably telling in itself]

voice; no UN

[sakabroto]

[There's a lot of static going on so the message might be muddled, but here we go]

Hell--?? Hel-o? Oh my god, this piece of -----t! UGH I'M JUST TRYING TO TALK TO MY FRIENDS.

Oh, great, that part goes -----

[ayes]

[Huh? That'd sounded like...] Ryuji? Ryuji, did you say something? Is that you?

[milesedgelord]

Hello You, This is Miles. Miles Edgeworth speaking. I was wondering if I could commission you for an event, since the desserts that you had made at your Valentine’s Day party was so impressive. I was wondering if I could have you bake a small cake for a wedding. Please call me back and let me know if you can, I know its a bit frantic right now as well.

I hope to speak to you soon.

Goodbye.

[ayes]

Whoa-- whoa, what? You want me to make you a wedding cake?!

Really?? Me?!
