[ 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. ]
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, because if you don't, then something preeeety 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. ))

[He wanted to hang out with someone today, as he was kinda bored. Plus he had to ask Rei something, hoping she'd say yes. But, there's a message waiting for her if she doesn't pick up right away.]
Yo, Rei-san! It's Yosuke. I wanted to ask you if you wanted to hang out today!

Good afternoon Rei,
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! }

[ Rei will receive a very nicely wrapped anonymous present...while it's not a top of the line mp3 player (since Trucy's budget goes only so far), she did manage to get a basic nice-looking mp3 player and loaded it with a bunch of music. Included is literally every Gavinners track, so enjoy your legal-themed rock music! ...But there's also a ton of bubblegum pop. Basically, Trucy's entire music collection just copied over from her own thing. There's also an incense holder she picked up at a random antique shop for cheap, along with a pack of peppermint incense.
Tucked in the bottom of the package is a neatly written letter. ]
Miss Rei Hino,
I hope you have the very best Christmas imaginable!! I hope you like the music - it's all stuff that gets my 100% seal of approval!!
♥

[You know, Archer had no idea what to give her. But she did say she was into bows. While he didn't want to make something for her since she didn't request it, he could make something else. So wrapped up in a package is a hip quiver for that more efficient drawing and shooting process. And, of course, a note.]
It's the best thing I could think of. Merry Christmas.
Signed,
Archer

[Later in the evening, whether answering a knock on her door (to find no one there) or returning home from wherever she may be, Rei is going to find a garment box wrapped in festive paper with a bow on it and an envelope taped to the top. The envelope reads "To Rei. Do not open until Christmas!" If she opens it now or later, this is what she will find:
In the envelope is a card! It's a fairly generic happy holidays card, though the outside and inside have stickers added. On the inside of the card are some cute little doodles of cats or snowmen or reindeer and a note:
Merry Christmas Rei! I think we should get together some time! Maybe for lunch, or maybe just to sit around and hang out? Definitely not while one of us is working this time, hee hee. I put in a gift card thingy for a place to eat, but you can use that for whatever you want instead if you don't want to do lunch!
Anyway, I hope you're having a very good one! And if not, then hopefully this makes it a little better!
❤ Mabel!
In the thin garment box is...a stocking? Yes! It's a stocking! It's red with gold trimming and glitter covering it, as well as Rei's name carefully penned in with what looks like glitter fabric paint. Inside this stocking is what you would expect in any stocking. From the toe to the top, it's filled with candy and a variety of smaller items, such as: a black braided yarn bracelet with red beads decorating it, and a red braided ribbon bracelet with black beads, as well as the voucher she mentioned for a pretty popular burger joint (not McCeres). She'll also find a pack of silly cat stickers, all having googly eyes!
Lining the top are five candy canes, neatly hooked over the edge so they are just peeking out!]

[Phoenix focused on gifts for his family for Christmas, but he tried to think of some of the people he met since his arrival. And he thought it might be troubling for Rei, being away from any family she might have had in a place like this.
So he sends her a Christmas card - the front has an image of Phoenix and Trucy with Santa beards/hats photoshopped onto them. The card contains a small but uplifting message from Phoenix. There's also a box that arrives, with a tray of cookies and some CDs of calming piano music. Merry Christmas?]

[Rei will find a gift basket of a few products that he favors for her hair, tied with a velvet ribbon that can be reused. Inside there is a card with a gift certificate for a few hours free at a local Karaoke place.
The note on the card reads:
Happy Holidays, Miss Hino.
Respectfully, Thatch]

[ Late in the evening, Rei will find a small black box outside her door that comes with a rather fancy fan along with a certificate that gives her 10% off any purchase at the Auto and Tech store!
This note is handwritten instead of typed, since she knows that Rei should be able to read her Japanese calligraphy which is in neat strokes. ]
Merry Christmas, Rei. I wanted to thank you for helping me out the other day, so here's a present for you. It's rather simple, but hopefully you enjoy it.

[Upon after a long day of work or whatever that might have happened, there is a box that happened to be lurking right next to your door. Whatever it might be, it was clear that there was something inside. If they happened to shake it, it seemed as though there were a lot of whatever these things were. Next to the box though, there happened to be a bottle of milk next to it. On top of the present, there happened to be a card. And it read….]
Hey, Rei!
Sorry for the wait but I had to make sure that these were perfect! I think I done a decent job with them so I hope you like them! But anyway, this is my belated Christmas present to you! I hope you have a good rest of the year and let’s be sure to have the time of your lives here!
-Anna
[And if she opens the box, she’ll happen to find some slightly burnt chocolate cookies. But at least it’s the thought at counts!!]
Rei, wasn't it? May I bother you for a moment?
[This sure is an encrypted message out of the blue. Nothing to see here.]

[So Rei turned out to be a great dancing partner! That's awesome. Hopefully that means she'll understand music references, because this is written on her door now...
♫ she's just a girl and she's on fiiiiiiire ♫
Yes, with all the extra Is and messy handwritting.]

[ Kousetsu has been wandering throughout the Residential District trying to find survivors or...not so stumbling upon the shrine is something he was not expecting. He'll definitely bow his head, clasping both hands together in pray, as he watches around the shrine for any other signs of a deity or spirit.
He couldn't sense anything at the moment but he'll turn around to try and find something for an offering to leave for the tiny tree atop the alter. ]

When you get the time, have you and your partner come by my stand. I at least have some things running again.
[The volcano is hot, extremely and horridly hot. Everyone that's trapped in Ardeo's "lovely home" is hungry, dirty, hot and tempers are high. There have already been a few tiffs that haven't lasted very long because no one's had enough energy to really put their heart into the fights.
Leia has tried to talk to many of the people, keep them calm and occupied with something other than their current situation. And when that doesn't work, she's taken to meditating to keep her own temper in check. However, there's a very dark bundle of anger and angst coming from a very familiar source: Rei Hino. After a few very serious attempts, Leia gives it up as a bad job, stands, wipes the dust from her pants and heads over to the young lady.]
Hello, Rei. Is this corner roomy enough for two?

[ He's not really expecting an answer right away - he figures if everyone's waking up and looking around for each other, it's probably gonna take a little bit. Still, he has to reach out to her. She's his friend. And he's been worried so damn sick the entire time he's been separated from the rest of his friends...
So, well, here goes nothing. Time to leave a message. ]
Rei-san... whenever you get this, mind calling me back? Or, you know, just a text. Something. [ Hesitant pause... and then, he steamrolls ahead. ] I just wanted to make sure that you're back in the city too. And that you're okay. 'Cause that was... that sure was something.

Please tell me you and your two pals, or pal and girlfriend, have survived everything decently well. Otherwise, things might get difficult.
You said you wanted your beads back, right? You gotta answer me first to get 'em.
[i.e. "my name is Hiro Hamada and I'm checking on a lot of people and I'm worried about you so please text me back and assure me you're alive since I can't just outright ask apparently now that things are a little more calm."]

hey girl u make it outta the jungl ok?
What is your status?
[Friendly!!
Sousei's texts are always pretty too the point, though; he wants to make sure she made it out okay, especially considering the condition she was in before.]

[So waking up the next morning is a lot less jarring, which is good. Leia's quickly adjusting to life on the colony again, which means yet more people to touch base with; so as she lies in bed, trying to convince herself to rise, she reaches for her CereVice.
Yawning as she reaches Rei's name, she types effortlessly, as if to pick up right where they left off.]
good morniiing o(〃＾▽＾〃)o nothing like waking up in your own bed huh??

Hey, Rei. I know we talked rather recently about some of the serious stuff, but... I've made a decision to start telling some of the others some things and I want to see if you're free to just listen.
I've already contacted some others, but I need to be 100% certain there will be one person who remembers this, just in case something happens.
Text or call me back when you're free.
