IC Inbox

So apparently you've tried to get a hold of me and I'm not around? So... leave a message. Okay. Great.

he leaves the eye and seeks the mark

[Alastair stares at the message for a moment. He remembers what it means, what it entails, but he's not sure whether he should reply to it or just go.

...considering he's some distance from the bureau he's just going to go. There might not be time for responding.]

[Outside Alastair's door is a small box. There's a little note taped to it reading:]

Here's a Christmas present, for Christmas! I'm not sure when it is but it's a gift anyway so enjoy it!

Have a good Christmas if you celebrate it!

[It's signed by Euri and has Dog's pawprint in ink stamped on it. Inside the box is handknitted matching mittens and a scarf in green, and a small tin of homemade rose mint herbal tea.]

[Alastair stares at the note for a while, mouthing Christmas a few times. He has no idea what Christmas is, but apparently it's a holiday that people celebrate by giving gifts. Okay, fair enough. It was really nice of her to give him something. He opens it...

...oh, these are nice.

He smiles and tries them on.

Right. Now he has to figure out how he can thank her.

...what are you even supposed to do for girls gosh.]

[So she's seen some of the reactions to Pyro's post and ohhhh boy she is not happy. Not only is she insanely pissed off at him for doing that publicly, but she is incredibly worried what some of her friends think.

Especially Alastair, because it's hard to just get over those kinds of feelings in only a few days. It's only natural for her to want to clear things up with him!

Still, she sounds reluctant when she calls him.]

... Alastair?

[For a brief moment there's silence, but Alastair had successfully sealed away whatever emotions had been bothering him to the point where no matter how closed off he was before, it's nothing compared to how he is now.]

Hello, Euri.

[It's perfectly calm, cool, and collected.]

Hey, Oi Sasuke--

Are y'there?

Man, this thing has been like stupid right? I think I accidentally touched that ice too much, my fingers still feel frozen.

We should go out for ramen, yeah? I'm gonna get Gaara to come too.

I'm coming over there now. I can see your house.

Er, yeah I'm here. You comin' down?

Um... no? My name's not Sasuke.

Hey- One of the Vanaheim gods knows of a village of friendly natives not far from Asgard, in the forest there. Honir's left an open invitation for folks to visit with him in a few days.

I don't know about you, but I could use some fresh air, some trees and getting to see a glimpse of what's outside of the city. So consider this my invitation to you. I think a lot of us could use some breathing room after the past months, even if it's just for a little while.

Répondez s' il vous plaît and all that. Maybe we can get a traveling party together if there's enough of us going.

Maybe.

i thought this might apply to you, eh? might come into some amount of use for ya, never know and all. anyway, cheers, hope all is well with you! and hope you found your shit bike.

Are you obsessed with urine or something?

[ guess who seems just a little bit less chipper than he usually is when talking about history? this guy ]

Ah, hi, hello, yes, right, yes hello, I thought you might be interested in learning a little more about our planet's history, yeah? Think you might be up for a little learning now?

[Well there is definitely something going on, but Alastair is never one to pry.

He can guess it's probably about Desmond, though. Since Desmond just got back and all. No real mystery there.

If it makes Shaun feel better to talk about history to him, Alastair will let him. He's always interested anyway.]

Sure, go ahead.

Healer group to meet in order to organize sub-groups today at Ril Sorrin's clinic "Time and Tea", in Loki District.

Cpt. B.F. Pierce

(OOC: The log post is up here. Please be advised that this is really time sensitive, and we should probably keep long, meandering discussion tangents until after we've at least managed to organize people into the sub-groups and figure out where your character will be.)

Thanks. I'll be there.

Hey, uh, you're not in, must be at the shop... look, I, ah, we should probably talk. About Alfheim, when you're free. Shoot me a buzz when you get the chance.

[It takes him a bit to respond to this, because he's suddenly nervous. But he does, because this is important.]

Yeah, we need to talk. I'm free now. Where do you want to meet?

[In honor of the Earth holiday centering on love, Freya sends out a little gift around this time.

A small box containing a piece of chocolate will appear on your pillow during the day. When consumed, the chocolate’s magic will lift your mood for a short period of time. It’s accompanied by a note.]

Where love might bring about sorrow, it also welcomes joy.

[ In honour of the god centering on love being a giant frilly prissypants, Loki sends his own little gift just a few hours after hers.

His box of chocolate will look, smell, and taste exactly like Freya's did, appearing right next to where Freya's was or is if you haven't picked it up yet. The only difference between the two is that Loki's won't lift your mood; it'll give you loud and embarrassing flatulence for the next three hours.

It's also accompanied by a note. ]

Where joy might bring about yearning, it also welcomes wonder.

How'd you know her?

[Just picking up from their last conversation like it never ended. Pyro sounds rough, still very much broken down, but he's actually speaking this time rather than texting. It's a gesture that someone who hasn't seen him since his most bombastic and mouthy days might not recognise, but also might understand better than most - only a very small step up from a vicious animal showing its stomach.]

[It's a surprise, being contacted by Pyro, especially with how he's sounding, but maybe it's because of how he's sounding that makes it less of a surprise after all. Alastair doesn't have to be reminded of who "her" is, there's only one person he could possibly be talking about.]

We were friends. She gave me first aid, once, close to when I first arrived, and just kept in contact after that.

[He could've kept it at that, but something about the situation demands honesty, and Alastair continues.]

After a while it was pretty clear something was developing, but I was... too much of an idiot to recognize it right up until one night when I got drunk and kissed her. And she kissed back. But I... I didn't know what I wanted, I wasn't... I don't know, I wasn't stable, I wasn't ready, and on top of all that I was drunk, so I pulled back and apologized and said it was a mistake, and that hurt her. And things... kind of fell apart after that, partly because of that, and partly for a host of other reasons.

[He's quiet, hesitant as he relates the story, because it's a regret he's never actually shared with anyone, and it's strange to be this vulnerable to someone he last knew as a chaotic anarchist hothead. But things are different now, for both of them.]

So... we were friends, and then I was a colossal idiot.

[Samantha's "Reply" to Alastair came a few days after his post went up. This was, in large part, because she hadn't been there to read it. She'd faded back and returned, probably within the last half hour or so. Her head was still splitting a little from her monthly rune-pain, which she'd just been getting past as she'd disappeared. The image of her was of a very disheveled person in desperate need of sleep.

A sleep that would be disturbed by very vivid nightmares of their own.]

I... saw your message. How certain are you?

[She couldn't quite seem to meet his gaze.]

[He's been answering a lot of questions and it's leaving him exhausted, physically and emotionally, but he keeps up because it's important. People need to know.]

I'm certain. Completely certain.
