[ Alright, you. Kaito's seen the name on the list and has admittedly been checking the network a bit obsessively to try to get this done and over with. But it's been a while, so like hell he's going to let this sit and not be addressed any longer. ]

Alit, correct? It seems like you've had enough time to make yourself at home, so I have a question or two for you.

[alioth]

Yeah that's me. You're that guy Mizael won't shut up about right? [Alit may or may not be a fan of hyperbole.... but still. No sense hiding, if that's the case.] What up?

[kattobings]

alit, are you doing ok?

[alioth]

[Well that was random... until he realizes...] Is this about the murders? Yeah, I'm fine in any case.

[kattobings]

alit!! we're having a surprise party for kaito, you're gonna come right?

[alioth]

Uh. Which one is Kaito again? [Someone is terrible with names]

Are you well?

( it's as simple as that. not something trite like "are you okay", because it's obvious him what the answer is. normally small talk can be so pleasant but one has to consider the circumstances. he also won't beat around the bush in this case because he's elected to be direct. it's the least he can do to return the favour Alit granted him when he confronted him.

maybe he shouldn't feel so close as to ask something like this, but he likes Alit and there's still a hope for a friendship yet. )

[Well this is a surprise, one that that simultaneously sparks life in his suspended state and provides its own perplexing puzzle that trips him up in a completely contrasting manner. He doesn't question what -- as if any of them could have missed it by now -- so much much as the why but the longer he dwells on it, the more clarity escapes him except that he is glad. For the gesture that bespoke of solidarity.]

I'll be fine.

[Not that he is fine because Alit doesn't deal in lies, neither did he care to deal in drawn out disappointment which this had threatened to become until now.]

[Last message of the day, and the one that took him the longest to decide to send. He doesn't dislike Alit and obviously there aren't any sides here, but Alit is still a Barian, and maybe he shouldn't be giving Barians custom cards for Christmas. And Alit has less reason than anyone else he's asking to tell him enough for him to make the card useful...

But eventually he decides that he might as well try and starts out with something neutral.]

Hello, Alit, how are you feeling?

[alioth]

[Chris really was something of an enigma to the Barian emperor, and such a seemingly spontaneous display of cordiality only adds to discordant expectation.

Alit stares at the question for a moment, but it's really so innocuous that it isn't hard to respond.]

I'm alright. Still sick but mostly over it. How come?

mailbox, package

[icefallen]

[There's a small box for Alit containing a sports towel and a gift card to one of those really nice Italian restaurants in town. Also, an attached note:]

Dear Alit,

I know that you are very active, so I am hoping you can use both the towel and the carbohydrates to help you in your endeavors. Either way, try not to eat the poor restaurant out of business!

Merry Christmas. If it is your first, I hope you have an enjoyable one. I will try harder in the coming year to be a better friend to you, as well.

-- Rio

PS: I know you called me Merag, but I think I will stick with Rio for the time being.

[Christmas Card!]

[tsuburaya_kun]

[Technically this came sometime on the 14th rather than Christmas Day--something about not letting the flower wilt. Whatever the unfortunate side effects of sending a card with a great white flower on it though, it also came with two packs of hot chocolate, and two candy canes...]

Merry (early) Christmas Alit-san!

I got a few roses that looked a lot like the ribbons for Christmas Presents, so I used them for some cards. I wanted you a nice one to say 'I hope you're feeling better', since you were really sick when we talked to each other!

There's also hot chocolate--you can use the candy cane to mix it in the mug, like a stir stick!

I hope your Christmas is really fun!

[They haven't spoken too much but it doesn't mean that they didn't sit in a bed together for hours in a day over the fact that someone didn't know how human bodies work. So there will be short holiday wishes sighed off by Ion with this set to be found in a small box addressed to Alit.]

[heartpin]

[Inside his room on the nightstand beside the side of his bed is a box wrapped in red snowflake paper. It's fairly lightweight and upon opening it is an assortment of four cupcakes, each with varying colors of frosting, decorated with white snowflake chips. Nestled in clear saran wrap on one of the plates from the kitchen downstairs, they're obviously homemade. At the top of the box, there's a note tapped there that when opened reads:]

Remember at Kaito's party where I said I'd make you something? Well, I figured this might be a good time for it so I hope you like them; I also avoided that one kind of frosting you don't like! Also, don't worry about before, with Vector, or with you being in your Barian other form. It's okay, I promise. I'm not mad or anything, and I know this place is weird - it does things to us that we can't control.

Sorry I had to say it here, on a Christmas card. But also, thank you, Alit, for being here. I'm glad we're friends.

Merry Christmas. -Kotori

( by now he knows that they do best over video; also, this question, what he aims to ask, is best asked face to face. the idea entered his mind in an earlier period, however. this is the longest that he can wait. judging only by his collected--though vaguely challenging--smile you wouldn't know how hard it was for him to concentrate through the previous period. )

So, you think fish are boring? I bet I can convince you otherwise.

[alioth]

I'm flattered that you've taken to spying on me. [How could he not point that out. It isn't exactly a topic that frequents everyday conversation. But it's not simple enough to just poke fun; it also gives him a place to voice his pleasure.]

And intrigued by what you have in mind.

Don't you think it's a bit cliché?

[twee]

But thank you anyway, it's lovely.

Hey knucklehead, what would you have done if you'd actually managed to join team Human World successfully?

[alioth]

[Obviously the smart thing to do would be to ignore this. Alas.]

Why the hell would I do that?

DELIVERY TO YOU.

[properlady]

( there will be something yummy on your doorstep. )



( there will be a note attached to it that says,"please accept this and enjoy it" from hibana. and she really hopes you do enjoy it for she has a tiny little crush on you. how does it feel to have an eight year old liking you? )

it's supposed to be a formal letter, but it ended up like this.

[itsmyturn]

I don't have my Duel Disk just yet, but if you're up for a classic tabletop duel; Name a time and place and I'll be there.

PS. I'm not sure if the one I'm giving you contains pistachio, but here you go.

[ attached is one macaron: ]

delivery

[icefallen]

I figured you may want one of mine. I hope it is to your liking.

If you end up with any excess, I would be happy to help you eat some of them, as well.

-- Merag

[Attached: delicious pistachios]

Delivery

[fidgetiness]

[ Just another a macaron in a box. Inside is the food item itself along with a small scrap of paper. The note just has the word 'thanks' on it. ]

[coreopsideae]

I really do apologize if this seems out of the blue, but you were... Alit, correct? We met at Rio's birthday party! My name is Melissa Foster, I'm not sure if you remember...

But regardless, I realized I hadn't spoken with you much since then, and I apologize for that. Have you been well?

text;

[alioth]

That's right. If I remember right, you were quite a vision.

You don't have to be sorry for anything though! It was so busy I didn't really get the chance to hang around. Michael went kind of overboard but it's been nice and quiet since then. As much as it can be anyway.

[jyajyaaan]

[Anonymous delivery for you. It’s one of those tasty macarons you were asking for, although this one seems to have had a sugary dusting and some pink candy hearts and skulls added to it. Who might it be from?]

[Enclosed: ]

[fastestshorty]

Alit,

I heard you were asking for pistachio macarons, but I don't have any. At least not any that is green, still I am sending you one, in case you want it.

It may be better if you don't eat it though, until we're sure that they are safe. Though I ate a few already, and nothing has happened.

Sena

[And together with the note is the infamous macaron .]

Mailbox!

[tsuburaya_kun]

[And aaaas promised, Mitsuhiko has delivered one delicious pistachio-- ! Enjoy.]

Here you are, Alit-san!

If I still have one left after this, do you want me to send you it too? I only had one pistachio, but you said you liked the other ones too right?
