how are you doing?

[ Nevermind they handwavily see each other more or less regularly but it's kind of difficult for them to have a serious, fulfilling conversation so far. ]

[substitutable]

[It jolts him to get a text from Ayano. They used to do that before, and it's so strange and nostalgic to see her name show up on his screen like this again.]

I'm fine. You?

Subject: (no message)
Message: Are you still awake?

[substitutable]

Yeah. Do you need something?

[imusntrunaway]

It depends if you were planning to sleep soon.

[substitutable]

No. I'll have to get used to being in space more to be able to sleep. What is it?

[It's been a few days since Kano contacted the rest of the Dan. But what Shintaro said stuck in his mind, and after encouragement from Kido he finally decides to go on and get the matter over with.

So. This text, sent without any prelude or explanation:]

|ω・）

that icon is unforgivably cute oh my god????

[substitutable]

[Shintaro is about to ask Kano if he's up to shit again but he pauses, considering. Kano's Kano but he decided he'll believe Kido that Kano is still a good person. He would've believed that without her, because of what the guy's done for Momo. So he backspaces whatever snide remark he started and responds.]

What is it, Kano? hide and seek is Kido's game you know?

|ω・）!!

[duplicitoussight]

Ah, has Shintaro settled into his new home yet? |･ω･｀)

You have been delivered a complete file on the history of the World Space Program as related to the Moon Base historically, and affiliated movements starting in the 20th Century onward by request of End User Caesar Silverberg. Please check your home screen for the relevant file link.

Thank you, and have a day.

[A handwritten letter arrives for Shintaro. The writing is flowing but legible cursive, but the writer periodically switches between red and green ink, and it is decorated with drawings of dead fish eyes.

It's a Christmas greeting, all right.]

Dearest Shintaro,

You are most cordially invited to a celebration of family, friendship, forgiveness, and estrangement on December 17th from 3:00PM, or earlier, until whenever we feel like stopping, at [the address for the warehouse]. This season mustn't pass by without a grand affair full of of food and gift-giving, in the best of Christmas traditions.

Oh, but you don't have to bring gifts. There won't be any set gift-giving time. Besides, do you really want to give your friends presents so early? It's far better to make them wait until the 25th. Patience is an important quality to learn for the winter months. Of course, I'll prepare the food, unless you wish to contribute some. Please keep any amount of arsenic in food below fatal levels for human children!

In the spirit of Christmas and all ritualistic holidays designed to prepare communities for defence against a harsh winter of dangerous weather and low quantities of food, you are invited to bring anyone you feel like. While more people is a greater strain on resources, the contribution of any individual to the group balances that out with the warmth and love provided. Let's gather together and avoid a cruel death in the months to come.

Hoping for your presence and survival, your friend,
Christopher Chareau de Red

[post is here, tag in at your leisure or handwave or excuse yourself however you like!]

[inhumanity]

[At some point between the beginning of the 24th and the end of the 25th, Christopher delivers (handed off in person or left at a doorstep) a Christmas gift: an instruction manual on how to do fun things outside. It is given with all the best Christmas wishes from a friend.]

on christmas day

[duplicitoussight]

[A mysterious box has been left at Shintaro's door in the early hours of morning. Opening it reveals several bags of this, a "retro" version of this and this charming souvenir tucked beneath it all. There's even a card!]

Merry Christmas!! Thanks for everything.

on christmas day

[affectate]

[There's a box in Shintaro's room, sort of in the doorway but positioned so no one will step on it. If the door was locked, it is still locked, and the room is totally undisturbed, it's just. Sitting there. Being a box with his name on it.

If he opens it, he'll find a warm, red scarf folded neatly on top. Beneath that is a picture book (in Japanese!) with lots of cute illustrations of rabbits. Attached is a note:]

Thank you for the gift. I'm very grateful.
