I hope this finds you well. I do not know if you will be able to access this communique but if it is safe for you to do so, I have news regarding family matters. I await word.
[She's not sure if the guards know about ALASTAIR's network.]
[Though Sieglinde had been able to pick up on something that night, most definitely that Masamune had been a feverish fool of a man- there hadn't exactly been much time to chat about that. His life had been in danger, and after exhausting herself both magically and physically tending to his wounds, she'd fallen asleep right there-
But she has to thank them, for helping. Make sure they're safe still, too.]
[Outside of Kida's room, a small neatly packaged box will be waiting outside her door. Inside the box she will find a vast assortment of small cookies of varying sizes. But, dominately, they are in fish shapes. Red, blue, green, yellow, a few with faces.. someone went all out on these cookies.
A small note on the outside read this much:]
To: Kida
I wanted to give you something nice for this holiday season. It's a little soon but, I thought you might like some cookies. You don't have to eat them of you don't want to. I could bake a pie later if that suffices better than the cookies!
None the less, take care, Kida. Hope to see you soon!
[ where ever she's staying, there's a garment left there rolled tightly in twine with a little sloppy bow on the top. from the outside it looks stripped and festively decorated in a certain color palette. unrolled, it um ... well.
Someone has to be around to spread the true meaning of Yule. I mean Christmas. Cheers! —L ]
[On Christmas morning, Steven gets a package delivered to Kida's door. There is a note attached.]
"Dear Kida, This is Steven. I don't know if you celebrate Christmas or not, but I hope that you have a happy day anyway. And I hope it's okay if I use this day to show how much I appreciate you! You're a really nice and pretty friend, and I'm so glad we were able to meet. And it felt so great when everyone got to get out of jail. I'm really happy and I care about you a lot. Please take care and I hope that every day gives you a lot of reasons to smile!
Sincerely, Steven Quartz Universe"
[The other side of the note has a drawing of Steven and Kida by a Christmas tree. It looks like they might be dancing?
And inside the box, there's some cookies shaped like ALISTAIR recruits plus some cinnamon rolls. And there's also a pair of comfy blue mittens for her!]
[ a red envelope with a card inside, written in Japanese, as usual, left near Kida's residence: ]
BLAH, BLAHHHH BLAH BLAH BLAH. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN READ JAPANESE, SO WHAT DOES IT MATTER. NOTHING REALLY MATTERS. IT'S HAPPY NEW YEAR. WHAT IS THERE TO BE SO HAPPY ABOUT ANYWAY??? I HAVE NOTHING TO CATCH UP WITH YOU ABOUT. NOBODY IS GETTING MARRIED, NOBODY IS ****ING LIKE RABBITS AND HAVING A BABY-- I HAVE NO FAMILY HERE SO IT DOESN'T MATTER. THIS IS A LOAD OF CRAP. MY SERIES RUNS IN A ONE YEAR FORMAT, BUT IT REALLY DOESN'T. SOMEHOW WE GET NEW YEARS... OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THIS IS STUPID BUT...
THANKS FOR BEING MY FRIEND BEING COOL. I DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE FRIENDS YET. IT'S DEBATABLE. BUT YOU'RE COOL.
[Who has still not really mastered the art of casual video calls on the network, but.]
I would have it known that I am now twelve, and only a fiery storm prevented me from notifying others sooner. I judged it most impolite to make note of it during such a troubling time, that is all!
[But it was definitely before those thirteen year olds, ok???]
[There's work to be done still - will be work for at least the next week - but the debris has settled enough for Riza to take inventory of their surroundings, and the gently lapping ocean waves that stretch for miles in any direction.
It reminds her of nothing she's ever seen before, with Amestris being as land-locked as it is, but it does remind her of a certain person.]
How are you enjoying Nalawi [the unfamiliar name runs stilted off her tongue] so far, Kida?
( Depending how observant she is, it may take her some time to find the small item as there's never a knock or any indication of a package being left.
It is most likely she (or someone she is with) will find it most easily during twilight or night hours, as the item will exude a faint glow. It's been left pinned to the wall above her room's doorframe.
If she gets it down, between the hair pin fastener itself is a small folded paper. The paper is blank, though, save for one word in the lower right corner शान्ति.
Perhaps someone will read it translate and translate for her if she's curious enough?
When she finds it, whether she finds it at all or otherwise bothers with getting it down for the note and etc. is entirely up to you! There will be no follow up or sought out acknowledgment of its receipt. )
arrived in a sealed envelope, with no return address.
If you have an interest in bringing justice to Chantes, we welcome you to meet us in the woods on the evening of November 21st. Do not tell anyone.
