#FFDF00; 4/6 post forest

[inheritance]

Maribelle-san, it's Midoriya. I just wanted to check in on you, to see how things went with your group. Are you okay?

[troubadamsel]

Greetings, Midoriya. I am happy to tell you it was a rousing success!

#FFDF00; 4/9

[inheritance]

Maribelle-san, are you busy right now? A friend and I need your help with something.

[troubadamsel]

I'm at your service. What do you need?

Shiho Sannomiya | 6/5

[troubadamsel]

[At the Maribelle/Tonbokiri household, one window is open, and Maribelle can be seen... kinda... at least her bottom half by the curtains. As she hears footsteps...]

Is that you, Shiho? I assume it was Shiho, those codes are so hard to memorize...

[good_ideas]

How do you know I'm not Kaoru? [For one, she hasn't started calling Maribelle "Juliet".]

#FFC100; sometime after 7/4

[good_ideas]

Hey, would you say you know a lot about magic?

[troubadamsel]

I suppose that depends. Magic does appear to be different in different worlds, but I know plenty about my world's.

Action

[guideyouhome]

[Shortly after their chat on the form, Kairi manages to track down Maribelle's house and knocks loudly on the door. She's all smiles when she sees her friend, and she even brought a present: a pot of planted flowers that they gathered together!]

Hi Maribelle! Thanks for having me over!

[troubadamsel]

[Maribelle opens the door, and is instantly surprised by the gift.]

Oh, my! You didn't have to bring anything, darling.

action; 8/23

[ditherer]

[is maribelle minding her own business somewhere? well, as gandharva attempts to sneak up on her from behind, she's about to get a surprise.

... no, it's not ice this time. thankfully. she's getting a flower crown plopped onto her head!]

[troubadamsel]

[She jerks, but then reaches up to touch what it is.]

... Why do you continue to insist on surprises?

[tropism]

This is Giorno. How've you been?

[troubadamsel]

Not exactly great, but I could always be worse. Why do you ask?

backdated to 2/6

[pyrafect]

[ Upon Maribelle's doorstep, she'll find a neatly wrapped parcel complete with a bow on top reading:

To: Maribelle

From: Pyra

Here are some chocolates to show my appreciation! And my gratefulness, because I owe so so so much to you and all you have helped me out. These chocolates probably aren't all that much, but I want you to have them anyway (I would have made more for you, but there weren't that many ingredients to spare.) Well, actually, I'd have made these chocolates for you even without a quest to suggest it in the first place. Anyway, I hope you enjoy these chocolates. :) ]

Delivery >> 25th December, Morning

[peninhand]

[ A small package arrives at her place on the morning of Christmas. Inside is a book about a tsundere princess who finds love and softens up because of it.

There is a poem on the card, about love and holidays. It's signed by Monika. ]

[troubadamsel]

[ Maribelle isn't going to pick up the hint because she's perf

but she's gunna enjoy the gifts regardless :3 ]

Xmas gift delivery

[resistetmords]

[Next to the package from Santa, Maribelle also gets one directly from Belgium herself.

It's a new tea set, complete with samples of local leaves!]

I don't think you know what Christmas is. But all the same, have a merry one and enjoy this gift!

Signed,

Anri, The Koninkrijk België

[troubadamsel]

[ mari is a little worried about gaining some pounds with all these sweets... but, who is she to turn down such thoughtfulness? nomnomnom

naturally, she uses the new tea set right away to enjoy them with ]

Christmas Delivery!

[colchismagecraft]

[Maribelle was a little easier to sneak presents for, given they lived in the same place- no need to sneak around with Dark Magic this time around! As it was, she'd found some lovely dresses befitting of a noble lady like Maribelle, and sneakily left them on her bed the next time she popped out. Very stealthy!

...By the time Maribelle got back, Medea had curled up on the sofa with the new pillow she'd been gifted, to have a surprisingly peaceful nap.]

[troubadamsel]

[ Maribelle could almost cry! But certainly not when her dear friend is sleeping! Instead, she smiles at the sleeping Caster, perhaps stroking her hair a little, before merrily hanging up her lovely new dresses - one she's sure to wear as soon as possible, so Medea can see how happy Maribelle was to have gotten them.

Sweet dreams, dear Medea. ]

Action (lmk if this works!)

[colchismagecraft]

[Caster wasn't imagining it, was she? Maribelle...definitely seemed a little more our of sorts than usual- had something happened? Whatever it was, she knew she needed to talk to her friend and find out what was going on.

And so, she'd taken the time to double-down on her share of the housework, just in case Maribelle wasn't up for it- and prepared a nice pot of tea for when she came home.]

Ah, you're back~ Come, sit down, I've made tea.

[troubadamsel]

[ Maribelle is a little surprised, but only slightly - as far as she's concerned, Caster has always been a great roommate. She manages a smile, albeit a tired one. ]

Thank you, darling... I could honestly use a good cup right now.

Letter in the Mailbox

[mayoninofukucho]

[Throughout February Hijikata has been taking blow after blow - physically, mentally, and emotionally. First Maribelle's call-out post ruined his reputation among multiple people he cares about (he didn't hasten to give them his version of the story one by one, because he does not know how to handle drama - if they care to hear him out they'll ask him in due time!), then Caster promptly got her hands on him to avenge her friend, not to mention that his own rash and thoughtless self-defence reaction gave him away to the dark web quest giver, who consequently got him poisoned with the same potion meant for the night club visitors... and somehow even worse things happened after that.

TL;DR: It's been a month for him!! Throughout all the big and small miseries, though, some people took the time to actually talk to him about the whole ordeal between him and Maribelle, and it left an impression on him. It was Monika whose patient and thoughtful criticism prompted his idea of writing her a letter, but it took him a long time and multiple revisions to actually complete it (and also there was a wraith invasion). So it's about a month after Maribelle called him out on AOL that a letter arrives in her mailbox, written in ink on nice stationary.]

Several Days Later - Familiar Delivery

[troubadamsel]

[ Whether Hijikata sees it or not, the elegant white bird doesn't plan on staying long. It has only one job to do, and once it drops the small handbasket off at his door, it takes off to the sky.

There's no letter given, but there are a few small items inside. Packets of tea, a few hand-baked sweets to go with it, a bottle of Pheromia, and a small bouquet of flowers tied up with a ribbon. It could mean she forgives them, that things are even between them, or that she'd like to be friends again. It could be all of those things at once.

... There's also one of the pictures taken of one of Hijikata's humiliations nestled in there between the sweets. Just as a reminder of what she can and will do if he "crosses" her again. ]
