[ 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 preeeetty 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. ))

[cordated]

You too! :-) Thank you.

[In Makoto’s mailbox is a small, very poorly wrapped, package…but hey it’s the thought that counts!

With a card on top just saying; “Merry Christmas Makoto! From Lily”

Inside the box are a few items resting on confetti shaped like stars and hearts.

First is a plush toy It’s cute and reminds her of Makoto. Next is a green ribbon with swirls in the fabric and finally there is a small tin with half burned cookies…she tried. Merry Christmas from Lily, Makoto.]

[cordated]

[ WHAT, that's so adorable?!

he's still a little thrown off by the seasonal shift this time, but he can't help but get a little choked-up, so you can bet he polished off the cookies and tied a nice bow around that orca whale plush and display in his room no matter what his roommate says about it ... like a dork ...

makoto's not great with dates, but he'll be on the lookout to accordingly shower her with affection and a nice christmas present as soon as he figures out the best way to do it. that sweeping hug and meaningful speech they didn't have in the amusement park? they're going to have it, just you wait. ]

[prosecutory]

[This was a straightforward gift. While this wasn't Edgeworth's thing, he decided to go with it anyway and buy this person a kitty CYbuddy. A calico one, to be precise. He's not doing this for fun but out of politeness, not wanting to rock the boat. Besides, it would be unfair to not get Makoto a gift when someone out there who most likely doesn't know Edgeworth may get him a present. Best to return the favor.

So yeah. The note is very simple, but written and signed in neat script.

Merry Christmas.

- M. Edgeworth]

hey makoto?
have you seen rin around?

text.

[cordated]

... no, I haven't.
did something happen?

text.

[freed]

i can't find rin

[presumably he's been looking since kisumi texted him but yes...shark-chan T_T ]

text.

[cordated]

[ checking his cerevice to the point of compulsion, in fact. ]

he isn't in the contacts. kisumi can't find him either
is there anywhere you haven't looked yet? I'll go search

text [before the log]

[freed]

flyers?

[cordated]

we need to stop by the print shop later
what we should put in them?

[bropane]

Hi there. This is Tadashi Hamada, the guy who said would help you look for your friends.
I was able to get the scanners to work; unfortunately, there wasn't anybody who matched the data you gave me 100%. Sorry about that.

text;

[cordated]

[ and straight out of jail, makoto is effectively running on empty and out of viable options. he sees the message pop up on his cerevice just as it arrives, but yet another hour passes before he can placate his nerves enough to dignify tadashi with a real answer. ]

It's alright! The chances of finding them were low to begin with, so don't beat yourself up over it. Thank you for all your assistance, though. It really means a lot to

[ he almost types "me", but pauses prior to amending the statement. ]

us that you took the time out of your busy schedule to aid us in our search. We're grateful.

I think I might have mentioned this in passing the last time we met, but if there's anything I can do to assist you in your other endeavors, don't hesitate to let me know. I'll do what I can to help. :-)

text; backdated to some freewheeling moment non event etc?!

[freed]

you're not at work

[to say nothing of the fact that they never planned to meet there but haru thought he would swing by anyway and see if there were any cats to rescue or best friends to conveniently go home with at the same time. probably.]

text;

[cordated]

[ yeah, isn't it just the worst ... dude ... bro ...

but no, makoto's quick about replying, swiping his cerevice's interface open to respond. ]

you went to my work? i'm sorry haru, i forgot to mention that i'm off early today
where are you?

text; 1/2

[freed]

are

2/2 but this technically doesn't exist...

[freed]

[ he thinks better of it. it's like 3:52am in the morning....though...and he's somehow at the municipal gym, not even in his jammers but in a t-shirt and shorts feeling rather cold, presumably because he walked all the way there in just that...though apparently he had the sense of mind to at least toe on his sandals. haruka nanase does not recall ever sleepwalking not even once in his life, though he's had plenty of nights where he could not sleep at all. he thinks it would be less strange if it happened when they first 'arrived' here. but this is a weird development only now, months later, unprecedented as it is.

curling and uncurling his fingers, he sighs and exits out of his aborted message through the cerevice. his instinct had been to ask makoto where he is, if he's awake, but that's....stupid. he's at home surely. well 'home' where they both live. no need to bother him. haru will just head back....and thaw out in the shower probably.

though not without one last longing glance backward at the pool.]

text to all of Rin's friends.

[jawdacity]

some crazy asshole is destroying the res district
unless you want to be a smear on the pavement??? stay away
text back when you see this

audio.

[cordated]

[ plunged headfirst in books, it takes him a while to see the notif, actually.

makoto dials back eventually, though (in complete opposition of rin's request for a return text), only managing to stifle his morbid distress by virtue of being in the academy library instead of some other miscellaneous public venue. it doesn't dismiss technically being in the residential district, however. ]

I'm at school right now. Where are you? Are you okay?

[ replete with worries as always, he lowers his tone a notch. ]

Don't be reckless, Rin.

Meet me at my workshop tomorrow morning at the Tech and Auto if you still want the app installed.

[ ooc; I'll be putting up an open log for this on the 7th, so feel free to tag in whenever! ]

[cordated]

Will do! Thanks again for the help.

[ now it'll be like 5000% times easier for him to stalk keep tabs on his friends. good times. ]

late 2/13

[jawdacity]

[ attached is a photograph of haru, taken at an angle. or half of haru, at least: he looks to be fading, the lake visible through his incorporeal body. ]

this the friend you were talking about? he's disappearing.

[ a moment later -- ]

think he has a problem with me

post-nexus code

[cordated]

[ it's roughly been an hour since his return, and makoto's still rattled by the glassy lights and strung-up bodies. in the end, he hadn't encountered either rin nor haru there, only kisumi held above in lifeless catatonia and slipping through his fingers. the gradual corruption, the slow, slow fade — and then broaching awareness, back in tellus with incorporeality swapped out for exhaustion.

dully lit by his cerevice, rin's mind games are still as unintelligible as ever. having previously been afflicted with the same effects haru sustained, however, makoto doesn't mind taking a shot in the dark this time. ]

you've always been at odds with him, remember?

[2cool4guardian]

[Here is the thing, Makoto. Jack is super grateful for that free candy. No, really, he is! But that doesn't equal a free pass. Nobody is safe from a prankster's plan, alright. So hopefully, he'll appreciate the drawings on his door, with the words "Chairman Meow" written on top of them.]

voice;

[shikisha]

[ Sometime after going to jail (and not telling Makoto) and then getting out... and then the entire city going underwater, Nonon thinks to call his other other other mother. (Yes she has two other mothers already here in the city somehow) But eventually she does remember about Makoto and figures she might as well check in. ]

Hey, Worrywart. You manage to stay above water at all?

[ ...She doesn't know someone's prediction towards swimming. ]

voice; crawls in with apologies

[cordated]

[ wow?????? makoto could've swam her to safety — or tried to, considering he was half-dead with exhaustion the entire time. it's probably for the best that she abstained calling him for help, considering he'd nearly gotten his friends killed by mutant dolphins.

his cerevice has been busted for the past few days due to taking a dip down high tide, having a heart-to-heart with various people, and nearly dying, unceremoniously, on more than one occasion, so he's admittedly a little emotional to be contacted by nonon after her extended trip through the entirety of tellus's incarceration system. his voice practically teeters with that kind of sappy, overwrought concern she should be more than familiar with by this point. ]

Nonon-chan! [ crisis makes him more innately companionable?! makoto doesn't even care about the nickname at this point. ] Are you safe? Where are you? Is your friend alright? Were you able to convince CERES to listen to your requests?

[ talk about a mouthful. ]

audio; day after the healing

[braavado]

[Things are still kind of soggy around Cerealia, but Korra finds some time in between the bouts of cleaning to make a call.]

Hey! It's Korra... from yesterday? I just wanted to see if you and your friend are doing okay.

audio;

[cordated]

[ and after the first few rings, makoto picks up the call, voice bright and skittering with relief. ]

Korra! I'm so glad you called. [ there's a sound that intersperses the call — a slight shift of fabric as makoto checks to gauge if his best friend's just around the corner before continuing. ] Haru's out right now, but he's doing a lot better today. What you did back there was a miracle. He'll be back to 100% in no time!

[ discounting the arm sling, of course, but it's more than makoto could have asked for. his tone rounds with similarly mawkish sentiments. ]

I'm so grateful. I don't know how to thank you enough.

Voice

[cresthopes]

Uh...this is Makoto-san right? I wonder am I using this correctly...

[Takeru mumbled to himself before clicking a few buttons here and there]

Well, if this is him, I wanted to say thank you for helping me the other day! I don't know if you like flowers but I can drop one off by your door if you want!

Voice

[cordated]

[ he doesn't like to keep people waiting, so here's a return call. ]

Yes, you've got Makoto. Takeru-kun, right? How are you and Patamon doing? [ he's reasonably composed, as per his month-long status ailment of sempiternal zen, but it doesn't stop him from at least internally flustering at how cute this kid is. after all, makoto's deadly flaw is a painful susceptibility to acts of kindness?! ] You don't need to go out of your way for me, but I do love flowers very much, thank you.

[ pausing, makoto considers how to thoughtfully word his intent before eventually speaking up. ] I work over at a candy shop in the Shopping District, so sometimes I'm left over with extras. Is there any type of sweet you really enjoy? I can set some aside for you if you ever happen to drop by.
