This is Quistis.
Could you help me find a dress?
I don't often buy formal wear.

i totally turned all the t9 settings on for my phone and typed it up there to see what it'd give me

[starsightings]

[Gosh, texting is hard. Why couldn't Quistis just call her?? It takes her a few minutes to type up a response, but her phone actually fixes most of her typos. Of course it adds in one of its own, but close enough.]

A duress? You know you're gonna have to tell me what it's for right?

text, backdated to yesterday.

[nagyka]

You know that I'm a private person, don't you?

[ Why does this sound like she intends to scold her...? ]

text; dun dun dunnnnn

[starsightings]

[It really does, sob. She didn't do it Quistis, honest!]

Um. Yeah? I think so? Maybe not as bad as Squall, but.. yeah.

[Maybe she should just apologize now just in case.]

Is everything okay?

Christmas Eve; mailbox

[buildyourworld]

[ In her mailbox is a Seasonal Greetings card enclosed with a $50 gift card from Holly Mall. ]

Dear Rinoa,

Merry Christmas.

From,
Tieria Erde

gift! (Dec 25th)

[thirdbeauty]

[A small, simple bundle shows up in Rinoa's mailbox, wrapped in tissue paper and tied with a ribbon. The tag reads "Rinoa" and "From: Natsuru".

Inside is a few green tea cookies with strawberry icing. They're not picture-perfect, but they're not burnt and came out tasting alright!

Also enclosed is a note, written while Natsuru was still under landlord influence and riding high on endorphins:]

Rinoa,

Thanks for helping Sayaka take care of me when I was little. If it ever happens again, I hope you won't mind being my big sister again. Who knows, maybe we can be sisters for real someday?

Was that too forward? I'm sorry! I'm still not used to having a girlfriend, but... I love Sayaka so much. Look after her when I'm not around, okay?

I hope you like these cookies, too! My sister and I baked them, and I think they came out pretty good. I gave you some extra so you could share them with Sayaka if you want.

Merry Christmas!

- Natsuru

package; December 25th

[bauhinia]

[ It's the happiest time of the year! That means presents. Lots of presents. Hong Kong will add a few to the pile in the form of his gifts, delivered to your doorstep!

Inside the festively decorated bag, you'll find a small container of gingerbread men, women, and children. Each is uniquely decorated and adorned with icing, gumdrops, licorice, and the odd jelly bean. Don't ask about the jelly beans. The bag also contains a bottle of wine if you happen to be in an adult slot and a bottle of spiced cider for the kiddos. Also in the bag are several small paper cutouts, made from delicate red paper and intended to be pasted in your window. ]

[ Rinoa's gift also includes a copy of the hot new game, "End Illusion VIII." ]

gift; December 25

[guiltydulcinea]

[ Christmas morning. Maizono's already making the rounds for gifting, and Rinoa will find a package with this necklace sitting in front of her door, along with a letter written on pink stationary. ]

Rinoa-san, I know we haven't known each other for that long but I truly consider you like the sister I never had! I know it sounds strange, especially considering how weird this community can be, but I really am glad that we met. I hope we can continue being close friends for as long as we're here!

I saw this necklace in a display window in one of the stores and somehow... it seemed like you to wear something like this. Anyway, I hope you like it! Merry Christmas~!

Sincerely,
~Sayaka Maizono

[ in the mailbox is an envelope and inside that is this!

The note reads: ]

Rinoa-chan!

I found a cute little game at the shop today. It's portable so you can take it anywhere. That way you can get super good at playing pinball!

email, backdated to 12/20.

[nagyka]

[ Not too long after her little tiff with Spitfire, this pops up. ]

Subject: To clarify...
Time: 7:02pm

Hello,this is Quistis.

I never wanted you to find out that I... talk about you. Not like that, anyway. It wasn't negative so much as... when you first came here, Trabia had just been attacked. I wasn't in a very good place and sometimes I found myself comparing myself to you. I know that it's childish and does make me out to be that bitter ice queen that some seem to think me to be, but my thoughts would drift there sometimes nonetheless.

I wasn't completely candid with him but implied it and... I suppose it is my fault for trusting someone so implicitly when I should have stuck with protocol, assimilated, but remained aware that anyone could be my enemy. He was really the first friend I made here and I thought... well, to be honest, I'm not sure what I thought. That we were close, I suppose? I don't know. I suppose this whole while I was simply reading him incorrectly.

Regardless, I want to apologize. I was petty and childish at times back then (it feels so very long ago now) and I felt sometimes as if I was slowly being replaced and left behind. I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I do not want you to think I was speaking ill of you to others.

I am sorry and I hope that you will forgive me for this. If there is anything I can do to make it up to you, please let me know.

call; because she's a rebel and doesn't care what time of day it is anyway

[starsightings]

[Honestly Rinoa probably read about three sentences before she started dialing Quistis' number. Oops?

Sorry Quistis, but Rinoa's pretty sure this is something that will get resolved easier by actually talking it out and not using text for once. So... yeah.

Ring, Ring!]

I believe I'm a "Trepie".
How about you?

[starsightings]

Are you sure?
Because they were all pretty creepy if you ask me.

[nagyka]

For the foreseeable future, I will be living at cabin #3 at Kalmar Resorts.
Just so you know.

[starsightings]

Let me guess.
Seifer.

[After a slight pause.]
Do you want to talk about it?

the night of his arrival

[callousness]

Rinoa.

[starsightings]

[The response is almost instantaneous, not to mention rapid fire.]

Squall??
Is it really you?
You're really here!?

[strangevisions]

[Who could forget Rinoa? When Rinoa goes out to her mailbox she'll find one overstuffed back full of sugary candies, and attached to it is a card just for her.]

Rinoa's Card

delivery on the 14th.

[nagyka]

[ Rinoa also gets more than Squall (but less than Selphie because, let's be honest: Selphie deserves it... and maybe Quistis missed her more than she's letting on). There are two packages: one with three cupcakes in it and one with some odd dozen or so cookies, inside.

Included, is a note:
Rinoa:
Happy Valentine's Day. Do try not to eat it all in a short period of time and become ill.

- Quistis.

How sweet and thoughtful... she's concerned about your health, Rinoa... ]

[lessor]

[ Rinoa will receive a certain something in the mail with no note or letter attached. ]

[swatsflies]

Yo!

Rinoa!!!

Guess who's here???

text; [1/2]

[starsightings]

[After she spends a few moments gleefully celebrating his arrival.]

Hm. I don't know.

We've had a cactuar here for a while so that can't be it.

Are you..... a chocobo? How do chocobos type anyway? Do you just beak at the keyboard?

[Sometimes Rinoa is the worst friend.]

special white day mail delivery

[tsuns]

Rinoa-san,

Hey! I haven't written a card in quite a while... guess the system here has spoiled me a little! But it's okay, sometimes a bit of practice helps remember what is it like, so I hope this will do. We can't improve if we don't try!

I... don't think I've ever spoken to you until now? Yes, I'm very aware of that. Maybe it's silly to expect people to just accept someone's written/spoken words without any back-up! But I guess this can be a starter of sorts. It's better late than never, and I love the idea of making someone happy with either big tings or little details!

So yes, here it is! Even if I cannot tell you who I am... rest assured that if I ever learn you need something, I'll go help you as soon as I can. And yep, I made the chocolates myself; I hope they're to your liking!

-- Me! =D

Macaroon Delivery

[swatsflies]

[There was a small box with a post-it note stuck on the outside.]

The note says to share, so here!
-Z.D.

[Receive 1x]

[starsightings]

So does this mean I'm supposed to leave yours in a box on your porch too?
Because I was thinking I'd just bring it over myself.
Anyway, it was delicious, thanks Zell!

Since I got your Macaron first, you can have first pick of mine if you want?
I've got a pink one, two purple ones, a yellow one, a green one, and a brown one.

[hisa]

[Wherever you are, mom, this is Hisami walking up to you and giving you a macaron.

]

[starsightings]

[Somewhat predictably, Rinoa's currently curled up on the couch with a book and a half eaten pink macaron. Hearing footsteps, she marks her place and then glances up to smile at her "daughter".]

Hey! So you got a box too, huh? I wasn't sure what to expect, but they're actually pretty tasty.

[callousness]

[ Having Rinoa being the "adult" of the house is really weird, because knowing Rinoa... yeah. But hey, she's closer and that meant he can keep a watch on her easily...!

Whatever, he's leaving this guy on a plate on a table near her bed. NO NOTE AT ALL. ]
