[Yeager's getting a special delivery this Valentine's! It's a box of chocolates shaped like cats. What is wrong with this kid, sheesh.

There's a note attached, too.]

Dear Yeager,

Happy Valentine's Day! I made you some chocolate, and I really hope they turned out alright. If not, then next year I'll send flowers. Er, if you're not allergic.

Anyway, I hope today goes well for you!

From,
Sorey

[scythegun]

[Oh dear, this is really cute... He'll poke Sorey through the crystal in a little while to thank him.]

I really must thank you for the gift; I'm quite fond of chocolate, you know! You did an excellent job with them.

[shepherds_pie]

[Ah, he's glad to hear that! ...Is it still "hearing" if it's telepathic? He doesn't know.]

Thank you for the compliment! And I'll be sure to keep that in mind. Is there any chocolate you don't like that I should know about?

[...Okay, it's been a little while and Farina has some idea of what she's doing over the crystals; it's still awkward as hell because why use words, but she's going to try it anyway, because she's got something sort of important to ask.]

...Hi.

[.........

And there's a long as hell pause, like that's all she's going to say, before - ]

Do you want to go kill stuff for money?

[...Honey, no.]

[scythegun]

[THIS IS THE MOST CHARMING THING—]

Hello, Farina. I would absolutely love to hunt monsters with you!

[...For money. The money's definitely the reason!]

[holysapling]

Okay.

[Totally just for the money, and not because she really wants to blow more snakes up.

...If she's learned anything on this island, it's that blowing snakes up gets you stuff.]

You shoot stuff and I blow things up. From a distance. So the snakes should be no problem?

[...]

They fly.

[SHE'S TRYING SO HARD, YEAGER.]

[scythegun]

Flying snakes? Well that certainly sounds fun!

[Oh god, the crystal's warming up. THIS DEFINITELY SOUNDS FUN.]

It certainly won't pose a problem, no! My aim is excellent.

[holysapling]

...It sounds like a lot of fun.

[...She says, about as pressured and intensely as she says everything else.]

It's been a few weeks since I've done stuff like that. We went up to the mountains a couple weeks ago. While everything was going on. Milla said we couldn't kill anyone though.

[She is so damn annoyed with that.]

[scythegun]

Ah, you were helping out with the possessed people, ja? That was a nasty bit of business.

[That's the verbal equivalent of a shrug, because he doesn't really care. It's not like he was possessed!]

Well you won't have to hold back with the snakes!

[LET'S FUCK 'EM UP]

[holysapling]

...The beast hunter people pay good for the snakes. They pay good for a lot of things. But the snakes especially.

[Pragmatism! Also, fuck snakes?]

Stay out for the weekend maybe? Just pick off a bunch.

i don't know what today is, the 6th?? 12/6, voice

[innocentloveholic]

[ at soem point in the afternoon, with absolutely no warning, will come the sing-songy voice of aligula right into yeager's fucking head. ]

Reggie! We're going on a field trip~ [ ...yeah. ]

that works!!

[scythegun]

[Ah yes. Exactly what he wanted to hear today. Wonderful.]

Are we? Where are we going?

[TODAY'S BEEN BORING THOUGH SO WHY NOT.

You'll also notice a distinct lack of any emotions coming across the crystal but that's... fine...]

[innocentloveholic]

[ ...that's fine!! It's not like she has much going on with her either, despite the obvious cheer she's sporting in her tone. ]

Thera! [ like it's obvious. ] It's totally part of your bucket list. "Traverse a spooky, mean place with a cute girl."

[ . . . ]

And I need those emotion shard doohickeys from it for a project. [ the actual fucking reasn here but if she has just that as the reason she'll owe him!! and she does not like that, thank you. ]

Sooo? Sounds fun, doesn't it?

[scythegun]

[. . .]

You know, I actually did enjoy that haunted house when I arrived here again.

[Except for that thread where he and Chie got absolutely nothing from it. That was terrible.]

Very well! I'll come along with you and help you get those shards! Though I am curious about your project...

[innocentloveholic]

[ that's her boy. ]

I'll give you the deets when we get down there. Meet me at the teleporter thingy, hotshot!

[ ...rather: hurry up and get there, because she's already waiting for him. as you do.

the thought he could've refused never crossed her mind! ]

[scythegun]

[You should probably consider that, Aligula!! What if they don't show up?? But you probably don't have to worry about that with Yeager because he is always bored.

Anyway, it won't take him too long to show up; he's got that briefcase he usually carries around with him. He's also smiling as usual and getting no emotional effects, so everything seems pretty normal here.]

Good afternoon. I hope you weren't too bored while you were waiting!

[innocentloveholic]

[ then she'd publically denounce them for standing a cute girl up over the network ofc. ]

Not a single bit! [ she was bothering the people around the teleporter with questions, like "how many people take this thing anyway" and "what's the upkeep" and "how does it work though"

...she has some answers now!! UNIMPORTANT THOUGH. ] Let's go~ [ ... ] They're for toys. I got paid, like, 5000 zeros--sylvs, sorry, they're like, totally called that here right? Anyway, I got paid that upfront, and I totally get to charge the sucker even more when I'm done based on how hard it was.

[ it's not gonna be hard for her so she's just gonna. casually exploit this. as you do. ]

voice, 12/12

[captainobnoxious]

[SOOOOOOOO HEY BUDDY. HEY. SHE KNOWS THINGS ENDED ON A. THING. BUT HEY!!!]

Bangs! Are you up for drinks tonight? Because I could use a few, and I'd like the company! You know, to hang out.

[since apparently he has something against the words "going out" or something like that]

[scythegun]

[So the last conversation with Sigrun went all kinds of stupid, but!! Today is absolutely not going to be like that! If Yeager's good at anything (and he's good at a lot of things) it's avoiding his problems and pretending like they don't exist.

So when he responds there's only the usual cheerful sound of his voice without any sort of emotion beneath it.]

I certainly wouldn't mind it! I could use a drink as well, actually. Do you have a place in mind?

[captainobnoxious]

[Okay, so, he's normal. As normal as he gets. There's a small undercurrent of relief, very small, she's mostly just happy to go out drinking.] 'Course I do! I've put my finger in every pie here, at least as far as taverns go. [Hopefully metaphorically speaking!!! Unless she ate the pies afterwards, which she would.] It's by the canals, and for good reason -- look for the building that's got a bunch of cats hanging around it, can't miss it! It's called The Lion's Den! I'll meetcha when I meetcha! [they're going into the lion's den i'm so sorry i couldn't resist]

[scythegun]

[I both cannot believe you and yet I am completely unsurprised!!!!

Yeager doesn't have any problem finding the place and while he's waiting for Sigrun he'll just... play with the cats. As you do. These cats are probably spoiled rotten, how adorable. He's got his briefcase with him as usual, but that's because Yeager's incapable of going anywhere unarmed. He'll be content to play with the cats until Sigrun shows up!]

[captainobnoxious]

[Good!!! The cats are there to keep rats away and also keep drunk patrons calm, it's the fucking best place there are so many cats. They're absolutely spoiled rotten.

The cats apparently also know Sigrun, because they're going to drift away from Yeager and yowl their greetings at her. The Friendly Giant has arrived. And she has a fish. That's why, that's why they like her.]

You know, didn't even think about asking you if you had any problems with them. [There you go, kitties!! Take your fish.] But I'm glad you don't!

[wouldn't it be terrible to be allergic to them??? so terrible.]

What's with the case? It's not like we're going anywhere but here. Probably.

[scythegun]

[And there she is, bringing a fish. No wonder they love you!!]

Oh no, if I had any problems I would have mentioned it!

[that would be terrible?? wow!!]

I bring it with me everywhere I go. Just in case, ja?

[captainobnoxious]

[Of course!!! When you visit someone, you should bring them something, that is the law of her land. Because she likes getting things and therefore has to do it first.] Just in case, huh? [........ OH. OH!!!! YOU GOT HER, SHE GOT IT, SHE TOOK A MOMENT BUT SHE'S LAUGHING.] Just in case! Oh, oh, that's a good one! [If she could clap right, she would, but she's hitting her arm softly!!!] Sorry this won't be brief, unless you run off on me like before!

12/21, post

[captainobnoxious]

[Hi Yeager, welcome to post hell. By which I mean there's a big, messily wrapped box with your name on it, and inside that box is a slightly smaller box.

... and inside that one is another box, and then inside that one is another box, so on an so forth.

The last box, however, also has a box!

This box is actually what amounts to the most unnecessary knickknack she could find that's also really cool in her mind, in that it's basically that knife-wielding tentacle box. It hasn't been turned on, but there's definitely a button that activates the cores inside to do that! There is also a note.]

BANGS

THIS IS THE COOLEST THING I EVER FOUND ANYWHERE AND FOR SOME REASON THE PERSON WHO SOLD ME IT (FOR A PRETTY GOOD PRICE OF LIKE, A COUPLE THOUSAND OF THE MONEY HERE?) WAS IN A HURRY TO SHOVE IT OFF. AND HE SAID NO REFUNDS. ANYWAY, WE USUALLY DO THIS GIFT GIVING THING DURING THE HEIGHT OF WINTER, BUT SINCE EVERYTHING HERE SUCKS AND WE DON'T HAVE CONSTANT COLD AND STUFF I FIGURED I'D JUST DO IT IN THE LAST WEEKS OF WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MY GUARANTEED SNOW MONTH

(I AM MAD AT MY FRIEND, VERY SLIGHTLY MAD, FOR LYING TO ME. BUT APPARENTLY IT ISN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS SO I FORGIVE HIS LIE)

ANYWAY, DON'T BOTHER GETTING ME SOMETHING IN RETURN! JUST TURN IT ON AND TELL ME WHAT IT DOES SOMETIME, IT LOOKS COOL AND I WISH I COULD'VE BOUGHT A SECOND FOR MYSELF, BUT APPARENTLY HE DIDN'T HAVE ANYMORE... EVEN IF I'M PRETTY SURE HE DID? I HEARD SOMETHING GOING OFF IN ONE OF THE BACKROOMS

YOUR FRIEND
