[ a fancy lavender envelope will be delivered to squall's doorstep today! it's sealed with a blue snowflake stamp, and when opened, it will reveal an invite. he can even invite his... friends, if he's coming!
the party will be on march 6 oocly! and the address on the invite is weiss' home. ]
[Shortly after talking with Usagi, Sora spares no time pinging Squall. The transmission starts with Sora's face a little too close to the amulet, but hey- There's more important matters at hand than Sora's big nose.]
Squall? Are you there? Where are you? I need to tell you something.
[ Oh look, it's your new best sparring buddy, sending you a message just like she promised. It's been a couple of days since they met, so she's had some time to find a place to live and figure things out.
[Maybe Sora's right. All he can do is kind of wait out Shinji's problem and only offer support when asked. He certainly is NOT Shinji's dad. Although it reminds him that some other quiet and occasionally surly teenager hadn't contacted him in a while and he should probably check in with him.]
[ Jean, stupidly enough, rarely turns down a fight. It's a matter of ego or something -- definitely some stupid reason like that, anyway, made especially stupid given he's never met Squall in person and really knows not much about his ability to fight! As a result, though, by afternoon he's found himself by the lake, decked out in his scout gear as he stands around and waits for Squall.
There are, thankfully, trees around here. Not as many as he'd like, but there's definitely enough for him to stay competitive! ]
[ Squall wasn't sure if the guy was even going to show up. He definitely wouldn't blame him if he didn't, seeing as how... different their interactions usually turn.
So while he was waiting for Jean to show up, he was on the ground doing exercises, sit ups, push ups, you name it, his Gunblade sticking into the ground nearby. ]
[How does he know?? Well, he luckily managed to ask Leon before Leon went home. Sheer dumb luck works out again!
So on this morning, Sora leaves a package for Squall to find. Inside is a birthday gift. A lion bracelet and a handmade red wayfinder and a little note attached.]
Happy Birthday, Squall!
A wayfinder charm so you can always find your way!
[ When Squall wakes, he will find that his crystal is glowing! His emotion drops for the month of Octha have resonated with Empatheias' giant crystal, and a reaction has been formed.
By his feet, he will find a light blue scarf. It is undeniably comfortable and its wearer will always feel warm and cozy.
(Thank you for submitting to the Emotion Tracker!) ]
[ The voice that comes over Squall's amulet is a familiar one as it belongs to the Warrior. However, there's something different about the way in which he speaks to Squall this time, not having that cool and calm demeanor that he typically has when speaking to others. Instead, he sounds almost panicked and as if he's breathing heavy. ]
[Not Christmas day, but Christmas Eve, Squall will find a meat pie (since Snow remembered he didn't like sweets) and just for him a lion ornament waiting in a special box to keep the heat in. Attached is a note.]
[ What had meant to be a voice message to the other has turned into an image one instead as a curious little cat with a red scarf around their neck has knocked the Warrior's amulet out of his hand just as he had been meaning to reach out to Squall. So, instead, Squall gets an image of a surprised looking Warrior picking the amulet up off the wooden floor with a meowing cat held against his chest. ]
[ it takes him a moment to answer. He was mostly trying to figure out who did the voice belong to, when it hit him. That strange friend of Rinoa's... ]
[Waiting on Squall's doorstep when he gets home is a yellow rose with a yellow ribbon wrapped around it. There is also a box of heart-shaped chocolates with a card. All it reads is:]
[Waiting on Squall's doorstep when he gets home is ANOTHER yellow rose with a yellow ribbon wrapped around it. There is also a box of heart-shaped chocolates with a card. All it reads is:]
[Sora leaves a gift for Squall the morning of. Including two tickets to rent the promised paragliding gear is a flower print tie (because he's sure squall wouldn't like real flowers) and a box of peppermint chocolates (no emotional effects this time!). There is a card attached too.]
Squall,
Happy Valentine's Day! Not just a day about love and friendship, a day to spend with someone I really adore.
[ what normally might be a cheerful, bright smile on the kitsune's face is now something more modest and weary, borderline tired. his voice reflects this minor exhaustion. ]
I need to ask you a personal question, if... it's alright.
