Sure.

[rollin]

[ After asking Yang, Yata has grown more curious about what Shirou had sent him... Celty seems like a person who would know about these things. ]

celty-san r u busy

[helmets]

I have some time.
Are you all right?

Had an x-ray done today. Guess what they found? It was you, safely tucked away in my heart! They said my heart is fine with a friend like you in it. Send this to all the people you love and care for, if you get 5 back no one will break your heart. Xx

[helmets]

[ aw, how cute. she hasn't had much experience with chain mail, but she's heard enough about them to know they're usually not as malicious as they sound. this one seems like a nice one though, so she sends it back to him word for word, just in case he needs a few more people.

she also adds a small note at the end: ]

Thank you, Lee. This was very kind of you.

youve been really nice to me

[helmets]

[ oh no, everyone's being so cute today.... but like with lee, she sends it back even though she was never one to follow chain mail. at least it's a nice one for a change. ]

Thank you for the kind gesture, Malia.

[madhatted]

[ A message pops up in your inbox from an anonymous source. How strange! If you don't delete it immediately, you'll be greeted with an audio message that's quiet, at first. In fact, it's quiet enough that just in time for you to turn it up, it starts to speak. It sounds suspiciously like Xerxes Break if you know him, but at the same time, there's a totally stupid voice being used, since it's not like Break would send this message along. Emily, though? Of course. She's such a gossip. ]

Send this to all the people you love and care for, because if you don't, then something preeeetty bad might happen to them! Heart failure is pretty serious~! Kehehehehehe!!!

(( ooc note ; break is sending this to literally everyone in the game, so I'm sorry... Feel free to figure out he caused it, since it's not like he's trying that hard to hide it. ))

Good afternoon,

I am messaging you on behalf of my Master, Rin Tohsaka.
She is planning on a special gift for one of her friends at the Winter Ball, but would like to keep it a secret.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
If you are interested please reply as soon as you are able.

---

{ OOC | rin is trying to organize a group song or two at the winter ball for rock lee's secret santa gift. if this is something you or your character would be interested in doing, there's a plotting document via google docs here that you can throw down some input on. if your character won't be there or you have no interest in it, feel free to ignore this comment. thanks! }

[helmets]

[ she has no idea who this is or rin, for that matter, but okay. ]

Hello,

I'm afraid I am not acquainted with your Master, unfortunately. Who is the intended recipient of this gift, if I may ask?

delivery!

[rollin]

[ On the 24th, Celty will receive a box in cheap gift wrapping paper. Inside is a pizza cutter. Attached is a card in bad handwriting: ]

Merry Xmas, Celty-san!
Thanks for a lot of stuff.
You should make pizza.
-Yata

package!

[hoasen]

[Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! It is a time of generosity, and so Vietnam would like to share some food that one can share with family and friends. A package containing some bánh quy bơ quế (butter cookies with Vietnamese cinnamon MMMM), and an assortment of mứt (candied fruit preserves) for the New Year.

Since Celty uses her phone a lot too, Vietnam included these as well. Also a card is included:]

Celty,

Chúc Mừng Giáng Sinh! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

May your new year be prosperous and successful. Thank you very much for everything, I am looking forward to "hanging out" with you too!

Vietnam

;)

[kaihentai]

Were you thinking about me?

1/3 not here

[helmets]

[ wow she's driving who the hell is texting her rn.... ]

pt 2 of first date thread

[kaihentai]

[When they arrive at her apartment, Sakamoto finds himself hugging Celty's body tightly. She is not warm, which is strange, but he assumes that's because she probably isn't human. No human would have powers like that! Ah, but that's not important, it doesn't make her any less wonderful or special or alive.

After she opens the door, he reluctantly releases his hold and drops to his feet, properly able to stand now.]

Oh? Is this your place?

[The apartment is barely furnished- Much like his own living space on the Kaientai. Sakamoto actually owns very few possessions, because he feels it a waste of money to acquire things he does not need. That and he hardly spends any time resting in his own personal space, preferring the company of others.

And apparently, she's the same way.]

Thank you for letting me in. And, and! For taking care of me back there.

[helmets]

Yes, this is my apartment.

[ there's not much stuff mostly because she's honestly not around during the day anyway. she works a lot between her three jobs and mostly comes home to shower and sleep. in fact, the most lavishly decorated part of her place is the bathroom; she spent a lot of time using that holo gm thing to make it exactly like she wanted: large bathtub with adjacent shower, candles and ambient lighting. she didn't used to care so much about hygiene before arriving in ikebukuro, but after learning about it, it's become part of her routine. ]

Please make yourself comfortable. Would you like something to drink?

[ she heads to the kitchen when she plays the messages, opening her cupboards to look for a glass. ]

SOME TIME AFTER SAKAMOTO AND CELTY'S DATE stop tatsuma sakamoto 2k15 /swoon

[hoasen]

[Which pretty much means it's probably the next business day.

Now, Vietnam knew that Celty had some confusion over what this outing with Sakamoto was. An outing between friends? A date with intention? Or just a date because he was joking about it? She assumed, from the conversation she was sent and had read, that it was going to be an outing between friends. That being said, if the intention was already there...

She spots Celty while they managed to get a break.]

Hello, Celty, how was last night?

[That was fast.]

[helmets]

[ when she woke up this morning, she wondered if everything that happened the night before was actually a dream. she knew it wasn't of course, especially when the mug she had given sakamoto was still on the kitchen table and full with water. it was silly to think so, but she was so worried going into it that she didn't expect anything to come out of it. least of all his acceptance of her supernatural status.

she found herself thinking about it throughout the day during lulls between deliveries, replaying the things he'd said, the things he'd done. despite everything, it still seemed a little surreal.

vietnam's voice brings her out of her thoughts, turning around to greet her with her device. she had expected the other woman would ask her for details, she did seek her advice the day before after all. ]

Hello, Vietnam. It went well, better than I had expected.

[ that's a start. ]

2/14 voicemail;

[kaihentai]

[In the sultriest voice he can muster:]

Chocolate is delicious, but you know what I'd really like to taste?

[He chuckles, low and throaty.]

You.

[And, after a pause and a chirp of a laugh:]

Happy Valentine's Day.

1/2

[helmets]

[ it's a good thing she decided to listen to this before going into work. it's embarrassing, but it's also really nice, to know that his voice is the first thing she hears in the morning. there's a swooping feeling in her stomach, and she suddenly feels lightheaded, despite not having one.

no one's ever done this before.

action; morning of february 15th

[kaihentai]

[Sakamoto rolls over in Celty's bed, grogglily blinking as he feels himself being stirred from sleep. He clutches his head with one hand, as if recovering from a hangover.]

Man! What a crazy wet dream!

[It wasn't a dream. It really happened.]

Ahhh, wait a minute. She wasn't even wet.

[helmets]

[ she's still sleeping when he wakes up, on her side with one hand tucked against her chest and the other resting on the empty spot he'd previously occupied. a web of her shadow had stained her pillow overnight, lines stretching from her neck onto the fabric to create what looked like tall, black trees. she's silent save for the slow rise and fall of her chest, the occasional twitch of her hand.

just five more minutes. ]

text;

[kaihentai]

There's something I need to tell you.

[helmets]

Alright.
What is it?

Action! Before the event.

[newtimes]

( He'd always been a bit of a regular-- poking in to check on Vietnam, Mitsutada, and Ookurikara. Even before, he'd helped out here and there with some of the other employees, helping to lift heavier things and higher shelves. But at some point this month, he'd begun working... a little more regularly for the holiday. He doesn't show up on any of the shift schedules, but here he is fairly regularly! He's even gotten to know some of the other employees by now.

When Celty arrives from her most recent delivery, he's in the middle of putting down some arrangements for the display window. )

Celty-san?! That was fast!

[helmets]

[ vietnam had mentioned the swords to her briefly but she didn't remember mutsu being one of their regular employees. celty simply assumed that maybe vietnam needed the extra help and didn't think much else of it, besides his cheerful personality was very refreshing.

she lifts her free hand in a wave when she returns to the shop, setting an envelope of invoices near the register for vietnam to look at later. she moves over to mutsu, pulling out her device and turning on the text to voice function. ]

Hello, Mutsu. How are you today?

text; mid-event

[poised]

this is Natalia

residential district, gym, school, parts of entertainment district compromised due to falling machinery(?) other areas flooded. please direct injured, misplaced, tired, and frantic people to upper levels of the hospital for shelter. communication limited to text and voice, healing does not work on those with intense lethargy.

personal request: utilize your motorcycle to scout together where there is still dry land or at least where it isn’t flooded with Yang

warm regards. stay safe. thank you.

voice; early on in the event

[kaihentai]

[It seems as though the storm that's been brewing inside of him these past few months has manifested in a similar sort of chaos on the outside as well, that apartments and buildings have been damaged, and that some people have hurt in the process.

Sakamoto remembers what Celty said to him: "I am unbreakable."

And he believes it, so he decides to leave a message:]

You're real busy, aren'tcha? Runnin' around, tryin' ta help all those folks in need.

I know you well enough to know what you're doin'.

[He'll be doing the same.

Sakamoto has managed to keep the kitten from drowning, at the very least.]

But when you're feelin' tired of it all? The rain, the misery- You can always call me. ♥

text

[helmets]

[ she listens to his message later in the day, during a lull in their search for dry land. she'll never tire of hearing his voice and the way he always manages to know just what to say to ease her nerves. ]

Thank you.
Please stay safe, let me know if you need anything.

action; later on in the event

[kaihentai]

[Sakamoto hasn't seen Zura in days. He's worried and he should be, seeing as people could disappear in an instant if their code glitched (or something like that.) And so, he crouches among the ruins, picking up a rock and examining the space that was beneath it with a look of curiosity.]

Is he under here? Damn it! I can't tell.

[Sakamoto looks into the distance, with a very serious expression on his face.]

He always was a master of disguise...

action

[helmets]

[ it's been a difficult few days.

there's been nothing but rain and it's getting to her; despite their efforts to scout for drier locations, success has been minimal at best. for now, she has shooter in his van form parked beneath the awning of a building, the passenger door opened to let some air in. that's when she hears a familiar voice and sticks her helmet out into the rain to see who it is, immediately walking over to sakamoto.

she'd been worried about him, of course, though she knew he could take care of himself. she assumed he'd be with his friends, but it seems that isn't the case. she takes out her device, turning on the text to voice app. ]

Tatsuma? Are you okay?

action, 8/20, ic-date feb 23rd

[kaihentai]

[And Sakamoto arrives at the club as promised, on-fucking time for once, because it's easy to be on time for her. He's been on many "dates" of this variety, but this is a real date, not just the precursor to an evening of debauchery with a woman who might as well be a complete stranger.

She may not know how to dance, but neither does he- In fact, when he frequents these kinds of places, he often feels like a geezer, as much of the crowd is almost a decade or so younger than him. That and, even if there are others the same age, he already has goals in mind, takes care of his own business, and isn't in the mood for anything but one too many drinks (and maybe an easy lay, if he's lucky).

This is different. Tonight, he's ready to dance until his legs give out.]

kicks gmail

[helmets]

[ celty has been niteo a few times already, back when she was still doing her temporary deejay stint. she knows a few of the bouncers and staff well enough by now, but things feel a little different tonight when she pulls up to the club. maybe it's because she's not here to work, or maybe it's because she's actually meeting someone this time, and it's someone she likes.

she's nervous when she walks up to sakamoto, the line of her shoulders a little tense as she nearly fumbles with her device in her haste. she takes a moment to regroup before tapping out a message to show him. ]

Hello, thank you for meeting me.

[text] ALMOST sent on ic date feb 26th;

[kaihentai]

[He hasn't heard from her in a while.

Maybe she's finally snapped out of it. Maybe she's realized that getting involved with him was a bad idea.

Even so, he can't help himself, it's hard going so long without speaking to her. It's been this many days, and although he's tried so hard not to irritate her with messages and texts, Sakamoto types out something brief on his phone:]

♥

?

[But he immediately erases it, never pressing the send button.]

[ ACTION ] ( 03/06, afternoon )

[bakudanma]

_{[ KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK on Celty's door! ]}

Aaaa, Celty-donoooo!
Special delivery!

_{[ special delivery? Really? ]}

this is beautiful

[helmets]

[ you know it's funnier because she's a courier at home and she delivers flowers for vietnam haha see what i did there, but okay. celty wasn't expecting a house call and the only people who really come by her place are sakamoto and vietnam, so it's with some surprise when she opens the door and taps out a message for him to see. ]

Hello, Katsura.
Is everything alright?

[kaihentai]

[Unlike most people, falling in midair (and to his potential death) doesn't leave Sakamoto with an extreme sense of panic. In fact, his reaction may seem almost irrational- He's irrationally happy.

Happy to finally feel weightless, to feel free.

He does idly glance to the side before consciousness leaves him, noticing that he's alone. Suddenly, the joy subsides. Worry and sweat creep over the back of the merchant's neck as cold wind washes over his body, much like the ocean once had.

Where is everyone else?

Where is she?

Everything has become so dark so quickly.]

[txt]

[kaihentai]

Didja like it out there?

Y'know. Bein' out in the open.

[helmets]

Yes.
I didn't have to hide.

What about you?
