[He is in the common area of the Alley as he types this out, while Haru is playing the 500 hour video game meant to enrich him that is definitely an expy of Trails of Cold Steel]

A few notes:

1. Lycaon will be staying in the Alley's guestroom this month. With the veil thinning, he can't really go out in public so I thought the fortress would be an easier stay.

2. Haru's not feeling well, so both of us will be sticking close to the fortress this month. Don't worry if he doesn't respond to this, it's not that dire, he's just trying to do side quests in a video game right now. If you need either of us, you can probably find us in the Alley on most days.

3. On days I'm not with Haru, I'll be with Varian. We won't be in the fortress. Unless one of you is in the hospital, do not make any attempts to contact us.

4. I will still use my teleportation to run errands if we need it, but I'll be using shapeshifting to turn my hair back to it's original color. I'm providing a photo now so you aren't startled:

[Okay so Ash was going to be a smartass about point three.

[Harumasa glances over at Jun as he gets his last drop from these monsters. He's been very lucky to speed run this (21).]

Man, you really aren't beating the allegations that you're my bio bro. The resemblance has only grown with age!

[Hold onto that dream of a very late growth spurt, Jun.]

1. I'll make sure he's welcome as I can. I think he's gonna tidy my workshop. He's gonna organise it and I won't know where anything is.

2. Let me know if you guys need anything.

3. I am echoing Jun here. Do not contact us.

4. Awwwww. That's cute. I've got a soft spot for the green, but this is very cute!

1. Oooh, the bartender? I promise I won't give him a hard time.

2. I think video games are a great idea~ I've been wanting to learn how to make kettle corn, too, if you guys are interested!

3. Enjoy your time off, you lovebirds.

4. ... Huh. This is reminding me that a bunch of us looked related when we were little. Do you think I'm ambiguous enough that people will mistake me for chlorine blonde?

a day or two after patching things w/ haru. un: ragna

[centralfiction]

[... He's been here before, hasn't he?]

... My brother is here.

[Yeah, they've had this conversation befo]

... "Ragna the Bloodedge"'s brother. My past life's brother. Jin Kisaragi.

[oh no.]

[life_ethereal]

[....]

And I thought our family was bad.

[Okay, but serious talk.]

Are you okay?

UN: hikari-vi | Text

[whiteshroud]

[This is a cryptic and ominous message]

I take it that's not a good thing.

[droptheious]

Is this something we need to be worried about?

[whiteshroud]

[Welcome to the group chat Lycaon and Belle! You're just in time to witness Jun's holiday crash out]

I need help.

Wriothesley wants to meet tomorrow to discuss ideas for the Christmas party for Santa, but I haven't thought up a single idea. I keep trying but I've never hosted a party in my life and I usually spend Christmas at church.

I can't show up without anything, especially if Santa is expecting something.

Please help me.

[switchaxe]

did you already suggest a dorky themed nativity scene or are we nixing that because of all the other gods, demons, and fuck knows what else?

text; un: eleutheros

[imperfectfifth]

Are we trying to impress Santa or just make something fun happen?

Either way, I vote another giant cake and a stripper.

[Zephyr is no longer allowed to give suggestions.]

[droptheious]

[ He knew the crash out was only a matter of time. He's proud of you for finally reaching out, Babe.]

See? Isn't it better to just ask people?

I'm still happy to make the (non toxic) snow machine.

Text; un: lycaon

[paraselenic]

[Hello everyone! My name is Lycaon and I'm super happy to be here! I hope you all learn to put up with me and-]

Thank you for the invite, Jun. Hello, everyone. To those I have not spoken much to--I am Lycaon. A good friend of Jun's, Harumasa's, as well as Varian, Luke, and Fugo. I am also aware of Ragna.

As for your inquiry, Jun. I have plenty of catering and coordinating experience. Are you looking for food spreads? I could give decoration tips and activity ideas as well.

[infezione]

[Thinking, thinking...]

Maybe an area where people can do seasonal arts and crafts? Some handmade ornaments are charming and all...

[Harumasa's on break from practicing for two songs he'll be performing for the holiday concert. Apollo has insisted that to be his minimum and even chose what the other song is. So he checks his phone to see Jun crashing out over the party.

Ah, so that's where all the anxiety's been coming from.]

Food and drink are gonna be Lycaon's specialty, so he can probably help you with ideas there.

Decor is already covered after that Christmas Whirlwind blew by after Thanksgiving. We'll want music, too, so might want a vetted playlist so that nothing too crazy plays if there are gonna be kids there.

So, let's start with the most basic question since most of it's covered. What kind of vibe are you looking for?

text; un: belleoftheboulevard

[greatlydares]

hey guys! Thanks for the group chat invite~

No stripper cakes here, but I can organize a Christmas movie marathon. We can get a movie projector and a screen down there and I have a hard drive chock-full of Christmas movies.

My other idea is Christmas tree decoration. Get a big tree, set it up somewhere with a high ceiling, and have people take a go at decorating it however they like.

[Jun will text the group chat sometime after doing flin's attraction when he has some downtime.]

Did any of you do the Animal Horoscope quiz? It's a lot of fun!

I got a blue jay!

[The response from Harumasa is immediate and exuberant.]

I GOT A RIVER OTTER!!!

[droptheious]

I don't want to talk about it.

text; un: lycaon

[paraselenic]

[Lycaon's currently waiting for his sugar glass to set, as he checks the new text notification on his phone.]

I took the test out of mild curiosity.

My result was an orca. I had...assumed my answer would be obvious, considering my appearance. [He's a little disappointed, but he won't make an internet about it.]

Though I am now learning much about the species. They are considered 'the wolf of the sea.' So perhaps I was a bit too quick in my judgment.

[While Jun had received his birthday skeleton gift back on Christmas Eve, he decided to wait until after the holidays were done to let anyone know about it. This Christmas was for making happy memories, after all, not revisiting painful ones.

But he's sure his siblings would want to see this, so he'll leave them a text message ]

Hey guys,

Everything's fine, just wanted to pass some information along. You know the Birthday Skeleton? Well, this year I decided to ask for photos of our siblings- the ones not in Kaisou. I figured it was a bit of a long shot, but if the skeleton could give Flins a Faberge egg, it felt worth a try you know?

Anyway, he gave me an album full of photos. Don't know if they're real, fake or from another world- but they look like them.

I left the album in the common area's bookshelf. Bottom shelf. It's going to sit there for the month, and then I'll move it to a safer location.

Whether you look at it during your own time or not is up to you, I won't ask about it again. Just figured I'd let you guys know.

[He'll leave the message there.]

Text | UN: DelicatelyFrail

[life_ethereal]

[Oh.

That's an unexpected punch to the gut. Though, strangely, not in a bad way? It feels bad at first, but then it just settles into a mix of emotions. Most of them positive, but there's no ignoring the negative. It's been so long since he's seen their faces that he's started to forget them. He's already forgotten what they sounded like. All he has are names.

This is... more than he could've hoped.

His answer comes only a minute later.]

You're sweet, Jun-bug. Thank you. ❤️

[There's no need to say whether he'll look or not. Everyone knows what his choice will be every time.]

[Harumasa posts a photo of a small river otter with a collar that looks suspiciously like Harumasa's choker. A very excited river otter at that. Looking closely, the otter might have gold irises? Maybe?]

Look look look! I woke up and found myself a river otter!! I'm finally small and cute!!!

[Can't be depressed when you're small and cute and cuddly!]

un: ragna

[centralfiction]

[oh no he's fucking ADORABLE...

time for the cuteness aggression and the yelling]

Oh come ON. How come you finally get to be small and cute but GOD FORBID I ever get to be cool and badass instead of a stupid small dog and a fucking scarf lizard!!!
