[ It's delivery time! A small but persistent robotic hummingbird will follow Marcille around one day until she stops to take the package from it. Inside the plain brown wrapping is a small set of silicone soap molds, along with a note. ]
In case you ever feel like changing up your soaps. - Wriothesley
[ Hopefully she doesn't think he's calling her soap ugly. :/ ]
[ Oh... She's seen little drones flying around like this all over the base. For a while she's unconvinced that this little one has something for her. Then it tries to follow her into the bathroom. She then has no choice but to receive the package so the little thing will finally leave.
She unwraps the package once she's in her room again—and oh! This is unexpected and extremely sweet. For a while she's just interested in the material of the molds, taking one out and bending it and watching as it retains its shape. This can go on her list of things she actually likes about this new technology.
She needs to message him back to thank him, but also. There's one other thing she needs to talk to him about. ]
Are these soap molds? What are these made of?? Thank you!
[ at marcille's door, there will be an anonymous delivery! it's a little gold bird drone! it's similar color to her hair. there's a note attached to it that says "marcille donato". the bird drone's temperament will be sweet and playful ]
[ When Marcille answers the quick succession of taps at her door, she expects the little mechanical bird to be delivering a message. Instead, as soon as she takes the note clipped into its beak, the little bird flits past her in the blink of an eye and starts taking in its new home. ]
What the— Hey!
[ Marcille plays cat and mouse with this thing until she finally gives up and slumps in her desk chair. The little bird perches on her bedpost, eyes open and head tilted as it watches Marcille read the note.
Only her name...? (Because you're evil.) Marcille turns the note over and finds nothing. She sets the note on her desk and raises her eyes to her new roommate, lower lip protruding as she studies it. ]
You'd better not be something weird.
[ She feels crazy, talking as if it can understand her. The little bird tilts its head to its other side, its head on a gimbal, and then seems to go into sleep mode, closing its small mechanical eyes and shrugging a little into its metal wings.
Marcille deflates, caught off-guard by its sudden defenselessness. Then she decides on its name. ]
[ Wrio's blue and pink hummingbird drone makes its return for round 2....However, this time it's not soap molds clutched in its tiny claws but a romance novel that's been hot on the shelves recently. (Did he have to ask around to figure out what was popular, perhaps.)
It also comes with a message!! ]
Happy birthday again. Sorry this is late. You were right about Ishmael.
[ This is his apology for making her cry at her own birthday celebration. ]
[ In the evening, Marcille will experience YAOI streamed directly into her mind thanks to LILITH ocular technology and one (1) writer who may or may have not realized that her thoughts are being transmitted through the network. ]
"We really shouldn't be doing this here, Ritsu-san..." A raspy voice filled the space between their lips.
Ritsu's arms were wrapped around Tsukasa's waist, pulling him closer. The desire to be closer seeped into every single gesture they shared. Tsukasa's hands cupped Ritsu's cheeks as he looked into the other man's sparkling eyes—they made him think of emeralds, but Tsukasa couldn't bring himself to voice that thought. Ritsu, on the other hand, was tired of holding himself back when his beloved was within his reach.
"But you want this too, don't you?" Ritsu murmured, his lips just an inch away from Tsukasa's.
At this point, they both could sense the sparks in the air. Surprisingly it was Tsukasa who caved in first—he pressed forward, allowing their lips to finally meet in a passionate kiss. They didn't have too much time on their hands before the opening of the cafe, so they had to make the most out of it.
[ Marcille was fast asleep when a message suddenly beamed into her oculars. (She doesn't silence her notifications at night, both because she wants to be alerted in case of an emergency and because she doesn't know how to do that.) Bedheaded and groggy, she wipes the drool from her cheek on the inside of her wrist and squints as she reads out the notification.
Who is this person? girlboss? It sounds vaguely familiar, so she opens the message. ]
[ congrats, marcille! you have just received (1) highly expensive brand name ice cream maker that costs roughly 200k, give or take. left at your door, a quickly scribbled note is attached to the top of it: TO THE NOSY DISCOUNT LADY ]
[Sometime after the team arrives back on base, but before they head out to Okinawa, a small gift box is left outside of Marcille's door. There is no name, but there is a note folded up inside, written in precise handwriting.]
Before the trip to Las Vegas became what it was, I had bought souvenirs with what I promise were good intentions. I thought maybe about getting rid of it, but figured I would leave that for you to decide. Keep it if you like, but I won't be offended if it wasn't exactly a trip you want to remember.
Unfortunately I could only carry so much in my duffle bag, so it's not much. Still, I wanted to make sure to bring you back something, especially after that thoughtful birthday gift. I hope you made it back here to Neo Tokyo safely.
[It's signed with his full title, Kuzunoha Raidou XIV. Inside the gift box is a cute key chain and a tiny snowglobe.
[ congrats, marcille! you have just received (1) highly expensive brand name laundry folding machine that costs roughly 88,000,000 (or $600 USD). attached is a quickly scribbled note that reads: REDEMPTION 009* ]
It has been a few days since our heartfelt encounter. Despite sharing our dreams of the future, it had belatedly come to my attention that we had not exchanged a specific time and date for our second meeting.
I heard there will be a festival planned soon. Considering it appears to be a large-scale event, I figured I would at least catch sight of you there. You see, I have been quite eager to try your first creation.
I was originally going to send this as an actual letter through my aide [ not his "aide" being kabru. ], but figured I should become accustomed to sending messages through the mind.
Looking forward to your swift response, Callisto Regulus
[At some point after this conversation and Rodya was hoping she could sleep it off, but... This is really getting to her even if she is a champ on holding it in. Proof that she really is getting softer and it's frightening in a way. After tossing and turning on it for most of the night, she ends up sending this message in the morning:]
Hi, Marcille. It's Zagreus. Would you happen to be free the evening of September 10th? It's Callisto's birthday and he's holding a gala
[ inserts the location here... he still doesn't know how he has the kryptos for this, but it's fine. ]
I know the timing is not the best given the state of things now, but if you've nothing better to do and have some time to spare, perhaps you could come by? No need to stay the entire night, of course, but your presence would be very much appreciated.
Apologies, Lady Marcy, you much preferred being called just "Marcy," was it? You will have to forgive me for not starting anew since I am far more accustomed to pen and paper. While I had much to inquire about the details of our reuniting, I suppose most people of this day and age would rather keep it concise and to the point...
Do you not think it odd that you have kept your knight in shining armor waiting?
Though, I suppose more accurately, you had used me as your personal steed.
