Ah, is this Yona?

This is Izumo from the festival. I hope you don't mind, but Shizuo's given me your number.

[darkestbefore]

Ah, hello, Izumo!

I do not mind at all. Is there something you needed of me?

evening after Farfarello's post

[eternalshield]

...Miss doesn't need to go defending Zeno's honor, for the record.

:|

[darkestbefore]

[ Oh good, there you are, she'd spent the past hour debating on whether to come find you or not. ]

I didn't realize I was. Who was that? What's going on, Zeno? Are you alright?

[ She hadn't liked the tone of those questions at all, or the abrupt way they'd ended. ]

[reformedsinner]

Hello, Yona!

This is Hakkai; I'm writing to let you know that Shizuo is at my temple. He was injured, but has been patched up and should heal well.

He plans to be home tonight, but if he isn't feeling up to the walk, he may stay.

[darkestbefore]

Oh, Hakkai, thank you so much for looking after him! It seems I am even more in your debt than before. I can always come teleport him home if he isn't feeling up to the walk, please let me know if I can help?

[kokuyoyo]

Your stairs are horrible. Why? I have cookies.

[darkestbefore]

I do have an awful lot of them, I know.

Cookies? Are you here? I can come get you, if you like?

Princess.

Shin-Ah isn't here anymore. Sorry.

[he doesn't know how to text but he's also not sure if he can just tell her it. Sorry if he sounds strange.]

Text -> Action

[darkestbefore]

[ Yona doesn't bother replying to the phone, knowing Hak still had difficulty with using it sometimes. And texts could be all too easily ignored when face-to-face could not.

Which is why she's quick to teleport to Hak's temple, searching for him with single-minded purpose. ]

Hak?

28th October / voice

[futhark]

[ So when he was calling Shizuo like mad he noticed he had missed calls. But only after coming back home he could charge the stupid phone to actually call. ]

Hi, Yona. I saw your calls- I've uh, let the battery of my phone die.

[ Kind of awkward, but he doesn't really care much about it ]

You need me for something, or did you just want to hear my voice?

[darkestbefore]

[ The sound of his voice has relief washing over her as she clutches her phone tightly. ]

Caster! Oh, thank the gods you're alright!

End of October

[futhark]

[ Hard to pick the date for it, so let's just go with whatever. Maybe the package was just left somewhere in the Temple and was hard to find? Or maybe it was delivered on a right day.

Either way, an anonymous gift addressed to Yona, and that is a eye-bleedingly colorful girl's Hawaiian's shirt

There is always summer in the goddess of summer temple, right? ]

[darkestbefore]

[ Despite it being an anonymous gift, she knows exactly who this is from, because there's only one person here as fond of these bright colors and patterns that she knows of.

Guess what she's wearing the next time she comes to visit, Caster? ]

beginning of November - I'm great with dates

[futhark]

Shizuo is back. He's a god now, his temple and mine seem to share the same forest.

Thought you'd want to know

[ ooc: her meeting Shizuo probably happened already, but he's not aware of that yet ]

[darkestbefore]

[ There's a bit of a long pause before he gets a reply. Short, and carefully simple. ]

Yes. He found me.

Dec 24th (It is up to you whether she opens it today or on Christmas itself)

[sing_for_me]

[ Yona will find a wrapped box outside her door with a small card on top with her name on it. ]

Merry Christmas, Yona.
-Alex

[ Inside, she’ll find this laying on top of white tissue paper. ]

12/24

[yasei]

[ Yona will, in the morning, find a box wrapped in brown paper held in place by linen strings, with a little note stuck under the knot. ]

For Miss Yona from Obi.

[ Inside are over a dozen newly made arrows. The feathers are made out of various feathers less commonly used when crafting arrows, and some are very colorful and made out of plastic. ]

12/24

[pirateofdragons]

[Given Yona's rather extravagant decoration of the temple and Jae-ha's recent knowledge of the holiday, he has gone out of his way to find some way to procure a gift for his goddess. It might not be anything fancy, but he does try his best.

It's why there's a bouquet placed in front of her room, but tied around the vase the bouquet is in is a simple necklace. A ribbon that also looks suspiciously like Jae-ha's is tied around the biggest stem.]

12/24- Starlight Presents

[onedrinkwithme]

[Yona will recieve a large basket, covered to ensure no animals try to get in it. Along with a basket filled with homemade sweets such as gingerbread (made into the shape of horses), a tin of items to make several cups of hot chocolate and peppermints in the shape of Starlight trees, there is also a few other things for Yona.

Including this homemade Chocobo Hat that is warm and toasty, Four blank books, and a set of six inks with an ink pen.

As for who sent it, there is a card that has a handdrawn tiny chocobo and moogle on it, holding a tiny banner saying 'Happy Starlight, Yona!' and below reading simply 'Aymeric'.

Yeah, you're family so no formal stuff from him.]

12/24

[bartenderizing]

[ There's a flat gift wrapped and set up- along with a gift bag that has various sweets. Not particularly Christmas themed, but some things he hasn't brought for her to try out yet. Redhots, Charleston Chews, some oreos in varying flavors and gummies. There is a note as well. ]

Merry Christmas. I hope these suit and help well for you.

Also, you're invited for lunch/dinner tomorrow. Feel free to bring the others as you'd like.

Shizuo

[ Inside the box gift is a bunch of hair accessories. First is a regular hair tie with a pendant, with a set of stretchy combs along with two sets of hair combs and a third with clips ]

December 24th

[pure_radiantics]

[ Yona receives a printer that syncs to mobile phones, a book about beginner scrapbooking, and some of the tools of the trade plus a variety of cardstock in different styles and colors.

Included in the front of the scrapbook is a smiling picture of Yona herself! ]

Merry Christmas, Yona!

We share one big thing in common - caring about our friends! Where I'm from, when we like thinking about all the special times with our friends, we make scrapbooks out of pictures and other little decorations to make something that we can always keep with us. I thought you might enjoy learning about it!

[mithrarin]

[Added to the pile is a parcel that contains a red scarf, not terribly fancy but war and solid enough to endure a little abuse if need be.]

[Dust isn't good at long notes, so it gets a short one.]

Merry Christmas.

February 11th

[futhark]

[ Caster sends Yona few photos along the message. From wintery Knockainey hill- most of them during the daylight, at least one with dumb selfie included. One is from the night and a lone fire can be seen from afar. ]

Dear Yona,

It's still far away from Summer, but some people are already lighting fires in the wait and vigil for Áine's return. I've been on a trip here for awhile, and I found some of your shrines. Made sure they are in pristine condition, that is!

Don't worry, they always are.

Hope this message finds you in a good health. Kind of wanted to send the whole "postcard" thing but had no idea what to put in the address. Figured out the internet will do just fine.

During Hinamatsuri [Now in correct inbox]

[futhark]

[ Caster calls and leaves a voice message. Figuring it's better than just text. ]

Yona? When you've got a moment could you call me back? I'm at Dagda's- Shizuo temple. [ A sigh. ] It's important.

(( ooc: and thus the log is set ))
