[ DELIVERY - HOLIDAYS ]

[zauberdecke]

[ At Stolas' door there is a package, and inside the purple box tied with a shimmering silver ribbon, there is a fur-coat styled in high-fashion. A note: 'Seasons tiding, dear friend. Something a bit high fashion, if there is anyone who could pull this one off, it is certainly you.' -E. Thelyss ]

Gift delivery

[Remy drops off some delicious-looking Christmas cookies! He'll leave a message as well.]

Hope you enjoy this, happy holidays!

It seems one thing after another has been delaying a follow-up since our meeting and I'm sure the timing is not much better now. But I did wish to convey I had not forgotten you wanted to meet. ...On the inkling that a distraction might be welcome, I believed asking after you would not be the worst decision.

PS: My thanks for pointing that out about the flower crowns. ...The Amyrillis likewise wasn't especially quiet.

[goetia_daddy]

It most definitely seems to be that way. And, sadly, you are not wrong about the need for a distraction. One could almost say that I'm in a 'desperate need for one' right now.

I'm glad my little announcement brought some of the issues with the flower crowns to light. My experience wasn't exactly... pleasant.

[amicustenebris]

I believe the correct thing is to ask if you would care to talk about it, or perhaps about something else entirely.

[goetia_daddy]

I am not entirely sure to be honest.
Perhaps...we should have that tea we talked about and see where the conversation goes.

[amicustenebris]

A fair enough answer. My abode or yours?

[ ooc : open logs will be posted on the 6th and 7th of July, where players can make their own toplevels and tag into others! 🥳 ]

Text before the event

[devilishkouhai]

(( ooc note: Hi I am sending this message to anyone I am engaging/rping with! I have a Opt-In. For her as a muse to be okay with rping alongside, and a Opt-out for anything you may not want to rp with specifically. Sending this to everyone I engage/re-engage with as of 8/21/2024! Let me know also if this text was okay!))

[ BB needed to text someone - she was panicking. Every part of her system was going haywire and conflicting with everything within herself. A juxtaposition of girl versus AI, the configuring of her syntax telling her this was meaningless over and over. Whilst the girlish vigor of her existence, felt themselves frolicking up and down. SHe NEEDED, to talk to someone and someone who didn't know TOO much about her but knew enough that she could have this sort of convo with - immediately. BB pulls up her phone and texts Stolas Privately. ]

YOU!

Are you awake?

WAke up.

I have a question. From like, one homie to another. Hear me out?

Re: Text before the event

[goetia_daddy]

[Well there went that attempt at a decent night's rest. He stares at his device and resists the urge to just hide his head under a pillow and ignore her before finally sighing and responding.]

I'm awake.

Even though I really don't want to be. You woke me up out of a good dream.

Now what do you want? Ask your question.

[devilishkouhai]

[It's a fast response, quick even, she stumbles to type it together but it is an urgent matter to her. ]

ok listen.

...


what does it mean when a guy asks you out for tea?

???

Is it a date???

[goetia_daddy]

[...Seriously, she's asking about tea!? Stolas groans as he rubs his eyes before typing his answer to her question.]

That depends. Is he a friend of yours or someone that just randomly asked you out for tea??

Are you going to the cafe or is it at home? I ask people over for tea all the time and it's not usually a date. It's just a social get together where we chat about whatever it is we need to talk about.

[devilishkouhai]

Well yeah hes my friend.

But like... Maybe i trapped him in a dating game and killed him like 69 times and i took those memories away from him and then stopped talking to him and then after that he kept feeling like it was his fault and then I told him no he could never do anything wrong - ever - because he's a good boy like a good good boy right? Anyway, he said he I can come see him whenever I want apparently and that it would be a great delight to see me again - AND THEN THEN

he asked me for tea

so like idk


????

OK SEE this is why i asked you because like it totally is normal to have tea right? it means nothing right?

[amicustenebris]

...Stolas, are you safe?

[goetia_daddy]

[It might take several long minutes before Stolas finally answers and when he does, he sounds tired.]

As safe as anyone can be after going through all that.

How about you? Are you safe?

[amicustenebris]

[ He hears that in his tone, and that is, as they say, a "mood." ]

As much as one can be after all of that. I believe I lost track of you after the library. I apologize.

[ As if either of them were in their right minds then. ]

[goetia_daddy]

[It most definitely is. A very, VERY big mood.]

The library...? Ah, it's okay.

[Now he sounds a little embarrassed.]

I ran into a lot of people when I was...younger. I hope I wasn't too much trouble. I know I was a bit inquisitive at that age.

[They definitely weren't and Stolas feels like he might need to apologize to a few people for putting up with his child self.]

[amicustenebris]

[ And he feels the immediate need to squash that before anything else. ]

You were positively charming. [ Perhaps even his old self was a bit of an easy mark in that regard; he was always a softer hand around kids, but he would have had something to say if there had actually been troubling behavior. He'd understand. But he isn't a pushover either. ] You apparently always have been.

12/25 gift delivery!!

[devilishkouhai]

[ A box is left outside Stolas's Home, with the following items!

Obtained
x1 Small toy that follows Kazuya around and does absolutely nothing. It looks like this in shape but looks like this(Red and black) in style. If you try to touch it, it will let only Stolas touch it. It seems to act strong and obedient. While trying to do whatever is asked of it - unfortunately, all it can really lift is a duster... If at all anything. It really likes Stolas...
x1 A Small sakura flower that fell from a tree that will never age or die. It is clearly imbued with magic to make it this way. It seems like it can easily be crushed or destroyed by other means, though. Handle with care!
x1 Box Set of a wholly customized fountain pen that has this articulate vintage look to it. Inside the box comes with extra nibs, replacements, ink well, black inks etc. Anything you need to take care of, such as a fountain pen. The custom fountain pen has a black feather with seemingly warped designs making it look cool and creepy.
x1 Plain Journal wrapped in leather
x1 Intricate Box for the Custom Fountain Pen(as mentioned before), I, the mun, cannot find a good example; it is demonic themed though(conceptualized by our OOC modern-day understanding of demons), and the main image on the design is of an owl. etc

Letter/Card: Hope you been keeping busy like I have!! Merry Christmas. Ps. Do demons even celebrate Christmas lmao??? - BB!]

[goetia_daddy]

[....While he appreciates the gift, was the little tentacle pet really necessary? At least it's somewhat cute even if it IS a bit creepy. While he appreciates it's affection, he's still not sure if he's going to need to lock it away while he's sleeping or something to prevent...weird things from happening.

He really does appreciate the flower, the pens, and how well kept they are.

BB may find herself in possession of a brand new journal of her own on christmas morning. Only, there's already things written inside. Like, say and up to date sketch of her shipping chart. Or, as up to date as a homebody like him can make it.

Hopefully she likes it..?]

[devilishkouhai]

[ The little guy is like: FATHER DO NOT ABANDON ME!! I AM ONLY HERE TO SERVE YOU!!

BB on the other hand, adores her new journal. Specifically, the sketches of her shipping chart show that this is one of her top 5 favorite gifts to receive. She needs to share it with Nao immediately... ]

My apologies for the quiet lately. There's been no lack of work to do. But are you well?

[goetia_daddy]

That's quite alright. I don't own your time so it's understandable that things have been crazy lately.

I am doing well enough. I'm mostly just trying to keep out of trouble.

[amicustenebris]

A wise enough decision.

And I imagine part of this arrangement is that if anyone is entitled to ask for time, you certainly are among the very few that top the list.

May I come by later?

[goetia_daddy]

That's fair enough. I just don't want to interrupt any work you are in the middle of. It would be rude, even if I do miss your company dearly.

Yes, I'd like that.
