Text, around the 23rd or 24th

[pricklybloom]

Hey Della! Are you at home right now?

[sos_pilot]

I can be home in about 5 minutes. What's up???

[pricklybloom]

It's a surprise~

I'll see you soon.

[ She'll give Della the five minutes to get home before going over herself, and knocks on the door to signal her arrival. ]

[sos_pilot]

[ Della races to open it, practically flinging the door open. ]

Amy! I love surprises!

24th - delivery

[apshot]

[ Don't expect anything too fancy here. And a lot of it is because of Deku's shitty prodding but on the night of the 24th, there's going to be a phoenix flying by and dropping off baskets.

Expect to find the following with just a tag that reads "Feathers:"

- 1 package of airplane shaped cookies ( yes they are homemade )
- 1 jar of spicy raspberry jam ]

[sos_pilot]

[ She's going to eat the entire jar in one sitting, and regret it later, but not entirely.

Also he'd better expect one hell of a hug the next time they meet in person.

NO GETTING RID OF HER NOW ]

Delivery >> 25th December, Morning

[peninhand]

[ A small package arrives at her place on the morning of Christmas. Inside is a card and a plane model to build and paint yourself.

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

[sos_pilot]

[ fyi she's going to name the plane Monika Madness

it's a compliment i swear ]

dec 25th gift delivery

[beaumains]

[ A few gifts from Gareth arrive! Firstly, a box of home made chocolate truffles, of various sorts. But also a hand stitched fleece scarf! There's a note indicating it's from Gareth that includes recipe cards for each of the truffles, and an encouragement that she try to make a batch of her own. ]

[sos_pilot]

[ And she definitely will try to make those truffles! ... After shoving the whole batch Gareth made down her gullet. ]

Hey Della. Do you want to go shopping for materials for your sword sometime? Or we can go look for stufff... but I wouldn't know where to start with that.

[sos_pilot]

Of course I do! I can do it today, my schedule is wide open!

[rustyhonesty]

I have freetime too. Want to meet by the inn later? Maybe in an hour?

[sos_pilot]

Sounds good to me! I'll see you soon!

[ ooc: if need be, I have an open log for Della to continue this! ]

Christmas Gift

[lucky_e]

To Della,

Hello! I hope this letter finds you well! While this might not be the exact gift that you would otherwise wish for the holiday, I still hope that you enjoy it all the same!

Happy Holidays,

Santa Claus

[Della gets a brand-new pair of spiffy aviator shades and a leather flight jacket, complete with a soft, wool lining!]

[sos_pilot]

[ ENTERPRISE YOU ARE REALLY BEING HER BEST PERSON AND THEY'VE ONLY THREADED ONCE ]

oops backdated to the 25th bc i'm a space cadet

[laminitis]

[Blitzø knows approximately nothing about airplanes. Both because he's kind of stupid, and there also just don't appear to be planes in Hell.]

[Luckily, he asks around and gathers up some intel, eventually coming up with a little model plane, the wingspan barely six inches wide, and most of the joints and parts crudely glued together. The propeller definitely spins, though. It's in a shoddy little box with a note that trails from its landing gear when lifted out-- if Della can fucking read it.]

Christmas Delivery~!

[reindered]

[Chopper had Emet-Selch make some presents for the crew! So you're free to choose which you'd like for Della to get as her present from him later in the month, since he also got one extra he wants to give her (even if he might be tempted for one himself). Along with that, he'll give her a drawing of her three boys and a note that he is sure she will be back with them and get to spend the holidays together.]

[sos_pilot]

[ Awwww, so cute! Della will def take the Violet one, as it has a Kid Shaped Thing and she can't resist anything Kid Shaped. ]

[reindered]

[Della deserves presents! Even if she can't get some from her boys. Chopper can at least get her some in their stead. Or something like that. She missed out for years already!]

text; post silent voice thread which I swear I will get back to asap

[octoblot]

[Give or take a few days or more after... what happened with the Deep Sea Girl and Azul may have gotten a bit too sea witchy and tentacle-ly in front of Della during their confrontation with that singer, a message appears.]

i have to go away for a little while

please look after the Lounge for me until i can come back, i'm entrusting it to you to have the best interests of it and it's customers and employees. I'll pay you back as soon as I am capable in return for this favor.

but

i also understand if you don't want to, after what happened. for not telling you the truth about some things.

so

it's okay if you decide you don't want anything to do with the Lounge anymore

[He gives no further context about where he's going or why, and Della will find that any attempts to call or get him to respond via text go unread--his name is still listed in the shell phone contacts, so he hasn't returned home at least. Still, he is not at the Lounge, nor has anyone seen him anywhere else.]

take your time!

[sos_pilot]

azul i'm so sorry i made you hide anything about yourself

please, come home, i want to talk about it, i want to apologize in person, i want to know you're all right

i promise i'll defend the lounge with my life, and if you're mad at me you can yell at me, cut my pay, do anything you want to me

just please please please please take care of yourself

you're so important to so many people here and that includes me no matter what

you're my friend

Text I Un: BlossomingTide (backdated a little)

[withermarked]

Hey, do you know what's going on with Azul? I mean, I suppose it's none of my business but this seems a little short notice for us.

I'll do what I can to help, but I don't know anything about running that sort of place aside from cooking.

[ Read: he's never done customer service and it looks scary. He only signed up to hide in the back and make food. ]

[sos_pilot]

i'm not entirely sure what's going on either but

he's been hiding something about himself, a part of himself i think i made him hide

i don't want to say what it is, that's not for me to share

i'll take care of the rest of the lounge, you focus on the food

[withermarked]

[ Well now he's extremely curious, but he knows he wouldn't get an answer. ]

Alright. I hope he's okay.

If you think you can handle it all, you probably do know what you're doing more than me.

Suppose for the food I can come in a couple more days a week, if it's needed. Not sure I could do them all, though.
