day 51

[davincible]

Helllloooo. Most beautiful member of Sphinx and resident genius texting. Don't block me, I come in peace.

Re: day 51

[trick_play]

hi?
sorry i don't know sphinxes sorted by beauty or IQ
you're not the girl who ate me right

[davincible]

Nope, I'm the one who took on your very angry Echidna dissenter.
My name is Da Vinci.
Our team is kind of full of stubborn types so I'm reaching out to apologize.

[trick_play]

oh
well that's cool

before that guy made everything super serious we were going to throw eggs at your door

[davincible]

You still can. But I'm not sure it'll make you feel better.

[trick_play]

yeah no
the moment kinda passed

anyway we're not going to attack you or whatever
two of our classmates are on your team

[davincible]

No kidding? Azul and Jetsam... probably makes the most sense.
Well, Tolovir likes Sprezzatura and I've been slacking on really getting to know anyone on Basilisk, which I should fix, but.
The decision was made because we wanted to survive. However, murder is still murder, pragmatic a choice as it was. I don't think Han Suyeong even knew your age.
If any of you were led to believe we don't feel sorry about it, that's on us.
So again, I'm sorry.

[trick_play]

yeah them
they're a year above me



anyway thanks for apologizing it actually means a lot
but
one thing i will say is
this tolovir guy

if he likes sprezzatura he probably should have argued against picking off members of her team around her

because that's actually maybe more upsetting than just dying, she tries really hard to keep us safe

but i guess that's for them to talk about but i'm just saying

[davincible]

Duly noted.
I'll talk to him about it, though ideally they've talked already.
Then again, I shouldn't assume a single thing at this point.

[trick_play]

yeah like i figure they'll probably discuss it probably?

[davincible]

I'll touch base. I trust nothing.

day 78, text

[messianic]

Ace-san, do you mind if I come by to drop off a gift for you?

Re: day 78, text

[trick_play]

?

for me?

sure?

[messianic]

Yeah. I wanted to thank you for your help back during the aftermath of the last task.

Just lemme know where to find you. (＾＾)ｂ

[trick_play]

oh right, that

sure i guess

i'm just hanging around basilisk

[messianic]

Okay, be there soon.

[ TO THE BASILISK DORM knock knock!! ]

[trick_play]

[ opens the door!! ]

Heya.

[messianic]

Sup.

[ he waves a little, and then offers the Cerberus-purple-wrapped gift. ]

Here you go. Merry Christmas.

[ it is...!! A fluffy blanket, apparently. ]

[trick_play]

[ '-' ]

Thanks. Uh - I haven't gotten around to trading any of my points in for gifts or anything to give you one back.

[messianic]

Oh, no, it's fine.

[ he waves a hand at that. ]

You don't owe me a present or anything. I just wanted to give you a gift, that's all.

[trick_play]

[ MAKES A FACE ]

That doesn't seem fair. I'll get you something.

[messianic]

[ ... god Ace is a very cute tsun. ]

... Well, I'm not going to refuse if you do, but... don't go out of your way for it, okay?

[trick_play]

I'm not gonna just look like a deadbeat and not get presents for people! Obviously I'll get you one.

[messianic]

I... really didn't think that makes you look like a deadbeat at all...?

[trick_play]

Trust me, it does.

[messianic]

... I see...

[ he does not see. ]

Well... in that case, good luck, Ace-san. I'll be rooting for you.

[trick_play]

No need! I'll come right back atcha with a gift that'll knock your socks off.

[messianic]

... Okay. In that case, I'll just go ahead and say--I'll be looking forward to you.

In the meantime, I'll leave you to it.

[trick_play]

[ THUMBS UP time to scurry off to points grind ]

night of 78

[velluminous]

[ Santa Vaux has visited Basilisk tonight and left a perfectly-wrapped gift outside of Ace's bedroom door. unfortunately, inside it's just a big bag of googly eyes. not even cool. :( ]

[briarliar]

[ surreptitious delivery of one magically created present that RNG dictates is a wax seal set. tied on top of it is one wood slice ornament with his name carved in red. the improper coloring leaving bleed through could either be cool bloody effects or just the work of an amateur. ]

"This doesn't have to mean anything and you shouldn't feel obligated do anything in return! But I feel like I should get you something. One of my presents was tea leaves so hopefully yours will have something you like as well. If not, I was trying to think of something that was for you, so at least nobody else might accidentally take it. I don't want another misunderstanding.

I talked to Mr. Sholmes and we might 'try to get on the same page.' If that helps.

And I'm sorry you've lost more teammates to solitary.
