i'd hope you would remember me i try to be memorable but it's a cute username i'm happy you have people tho i haven't seen anyone but that might be for the best
[Happy Non-Descript Winter Holiday! Cater's dropping off a set of wrapped gifts; inside Kalim will find a pair of light-up, color-changing drumsticks, a piece of a necklace with a sun symbol, and a mug in the shape of a coconut--so every drink can be like Kalim's favorite juice!]
[Kalim's getting a proper set of kitchen utensils and a thick cookbook full of recipes of all different kinds of cuisines. The cookbook unfortunately has a lot of foodsex puns, but what can you do about that in Duplicity??
He also has an omamori along with a note: "This is supposed to bring happiness and luck, so make sure you hold onto it!"]
[Kalim's present arrives in a light purple bag, handles adorned with a red ribbon. Inside, tucked snuggly in a massive nest of crumpled tissue paper (definitely far more than there should be), is a little pencil pouch. There aren't any pencils inside, however; instead, he'll find a bag of rainbow colored gummy fish that's definitely already been opened and taste tested... as well as a travel tube of lube. At least that looks sealed. Supposedly.
[ For "kurimas", Lilia gets Kalim a hair clip with yellow theming, matching a green one he gets himself... as well as a red one he got for Cater. Band things!!!
Kalim will also receive a blanket of his own to stay warm and cozy!!! ]
[It's just over a fortnight since that one random anonymous post on the network, and while Satan's still been moping a bit, getting his stupid ass effectively kidnapped and forced to go to school has. Done wonders for his motivation to actually get out of the house at least. And eventually, on one of his trips out and about (under the pretence of learning about who's keeping them here), Satan ends up remembering what he'd said to that one nice, happy-looking kid online.
Which is how he ends up at-- B. Bunny's Brew & Botanical Burrow. BB&BB. Fuckkkk. Took him long enough to not fuck up the place name, but it's cute enough. Fits it too, given the whiff of tea and other herbal concoctions he gets hit with soon as he pokes his head in.
And for a few seconds, that's all he does. Just stands in the doorway peeking in, as if casing the joint. Then he spies Kalim. does this. Then saunters on over and just stares him down.]
...Yo. ...I, uh-- I'm calling in that tea you offered me.
[ Kalim looks at the man in front of him, who he'd been treating just like a normal customer. Or who he'd been planning on treating like a normal customer. He was even getting ready to sell him on some good luck charms.
but the problem is.......
Kalim has offered a lot of people tea. And so he brightens immediately without knowing who the heck this person is. He doesn't remember him, but sometimes he forgets! No worries!!! ]
[Cute kid. Satan's already glad he made the trip, even if a glancing brush against Kalim's mind well and truly betrays the fact that he's absolutely not putting the pieces together. Doesn't matter, really. Might be better this way. Either way, he's going to lean against the counter and watch his tearista buzz away, chin in hand.
...Curious. No underwear involved in brewing the tea. Is it going to taste as good as his wife's......]
Don't worry, I won't get you in trouble with the boss. I'll pay. Just thought that I oughta make good on my word and all. Besides, I know how to brew tea, but stuff always tastes better when someone makes it.
Don't worry, don't worry! I offered it, so of course it shouldn't be something you pay for!
[ Kalim loves hosting people, and there's a genuine buzz and excitement in his head at getting to know this new person, honestly. he'd definitely sit and chat over tea with more people if he could. But, it's slow right then, so...
And then there's the mixing of the teas. Maybe it will, maybe it won't be as good as his wife's with no underwear involved. But, he's clearly a practiced hand at making it, even down to the steeping time and temperature. ]
A break would be nice anyway. I forgot who you were, so you can introduce yourself to me again!
Nah, you already gave me some good advice. Call that the favour I'm returning, alright?
[Is Satan picking up whatever jars and boxes and other goodies there might be on the counter while the tea steeps, rattling and examining the contents closely? Perhaps. He's paying attention still, honest!]
Besides, you didn't forget anything. I never told you who I was. But you did good by me once, and I wanted to come thank you! Kehehe. If you get kicks outta doing this sorta thing with strangers while it's quiet, then least I can do for you is hang out a bit longer without gettin' you fired, right?
What blend you got, anyway? I dunno shit about tea, but I like hearing anyway. Makes me feel smarter, if I know what I'm drinking.
[Ruby had been quiet and depressed, barely able to pull herself out of bed... though hearing that Kalim had been in the hospital had almost done it. The only thing that kept her from sprinting to the hospital was that he was alive... and she was consumed with how upset she was at realizing that Aqua was technically dead. Even if he was alive, he was dead. It was too much.
But when she hears him get home, she hauls herself out of bed and makes her way to wherever he is.]
[ he still feels a little confused about what exactly had happened—- they were in the kitchen, and then they weren’t. Everything else was a blur from there.
Rook explained it, but it didn’t make sense to him, and the worried face that Lilia… he felt even more guilt over that. The last thing he wanted to do was worry him again.
But he knows what it’s like after hospital trips like this— even if he wants it to be different…
When Ruby gets his attention, he looks up and smiles disarmingly, almost like he’s trying to dispel her worry, despite his pallor ]
[Cater's already planning on coming over, now that he's heard Kalim's woken up--but just in case he's not there or not feeling up to company, he decides to shoot a message first. He has the sneaking suspicion that the city won't care if he was out of commission, and the end of the month is just around the corner...]
[Does Kalim open his gifts in front of his guests? Does he wait until he's comfortably alone? Either way, he'll find a colorful hand-painted drum, complete with an embroidered strap to wear and play more easily. How about adding some new sounds to Pop Music Club jam sessions?]

You're home! Welcome back, Kalim...

Thanks!! I didn’t wake you up did I??
no subject
No, I was wondering when you'd come home, though... how bad is it? Did they find a way to heal you up with magic, or... I don't know.
no subject
[ he holds up his arm— where the bandages on his neck are more obvious ]
It’s definitely not like home, but I feel a lot better than I did before!
[ he trails off, looking at her a little thoughtfully… maybe?? Hmm… ]
