package delivery, dec 25

[pursuitofcappiness]

[ On Christmas morning, Toge will find a parcel wrapped in brown paper and tied up with a cream silk ribbon. There's a tag stating "From Steve - Merry Christmas."

Inside contains a pair of hand-knit fingerless gloves in the dark blue-black that matches Toge's cowl. They are similarly ribbed. ]

[cursedwords]

[ Steve will receive his package in return the evening of the 25th. It's a huge sparkly silver snowflake bag.

Inside there are several tupperware containers. One with a high lid that contains eight snowman cupcakes, another the same size with eight gingerbread man cupcakes with cream cheese frosting filling, complete with cookie on top and another container filled with various christmas cookies.

There's a card inside: Merry Christmas Steve, thanks for the gift - Toge Inumaki

PS - Yuta helped, he says merry Christmas too. ]

[honored_one]

hey

i need to ask you something

it's kinda heavy so

just a warning

you can say no

Text; un: chatterbox

[cursedwords]

You can ask. It's fine. Shoot.

[honored_one]

ok so

[A pause, those typing bubbles coming and going for a few seconds.]

in your time, is Geto dead. did i kill him

[cursedwords]

[ Ah. That. Even though he's not super worried about spilling the future - it doesn't work after all - they haven't said much beyond spilling that they know Gojo because he's their teacher. ]

Suguru Geto is dead and you delivered the final blow, yes. It gets worse after that.

[honored_one]

[There is a long pause this time, which is probably to be expected. He looks at those words for a very long time.

It gets worse after that.

What could possibly be worse? He's not sure he's ready to learn that yet. Another phrase to add to those that keep him up at night, like another Inumaki said probably off-handedly to him they day he arrived in Folkmore - that back home, in his time, Gojo was out of commission.]

ok

i needed confirmation on that so

thanks i guess

[cursedwords]

Sorry for the bad news.

You can ask anything, anytime.

[honored_one]

its fine

thirteen pretty much showed us as much but you know how much i trust her

[cursedwords]

In my experience, she hasn't lied at least about our personal stories. And she knows everything about us.

She got every detail of clan life down to every detail in my memory.

[honored_one]

it was a movie

and it started off as like characters like us before it started changing

i just needed to be sure

[cursedwords]

Oh yeah, I saw one of those. Ratted out all my pranks that I got away with! It was so not cool.

It started like that and then changed to something a little weirder. Then we stopped watching.

[honored_one]

[They couldn't drag their eyes away. That old saying about watching a train wreck comes to mind.]

glad we're not the only one she freaked out i guess

we should have stopped watching

too late now

[cursedwords]

I don't think our method would work for everyone.

Yeah, sorry.

If we knew telling you the future could change it, I'd have done it in a heartbeat. Unfortunately Yuta and I tested this. It didn't work.

[honored_one]

[The hits just keep coming, huh. There's a pause.]

damned if i stay here, damned if i go home

what a predicament, huh

[cursedwords]

Stay here. Seems like things can't change because you don't remember this when you go home. That's what happened. Yuta wanted me to stop Shibuya and he gave me ample warning, but I forgot.

This place is better. Not perfect, but better. I believe that.

[honored_one]

[Another ominous phrase: "Yuta wanted me to stop Shibuya". Another time, he can ask what that means. Not today.]

if this place is supposedly about making us better, then why send us home forgetting whatever lessons thirteen is teaching us?

i don't get anything she does

or is it supposed to be some kind of unconscious thing we take home

whatever, no sense thinking about it then

[He will absolutely be thinking about it all a whole lot.]

now is now and that's what we get

[cursedwords]

[ Another time. He and his classmates probably spend way too much time thinking about Shibuya. There's too much to process. ]

You got me. I don't understand weird fox spirits. I don't even know if you can call what I've been doing an improvement.

Somehow I don't think visiting a jellyfish strip club and drinking alcohol is meant to be self-improving when at home it's illegal.

[honored_one]

[This is why he likes you, Inumaki.]

yeah hoping someday they legalize all those jellyfish strip clubs back home 🤞

lol no but you're right

i keep telling people here not to try and figure out what a fox god is up to and i guess it's time i take my own advice

[cursedwords]

[ He's in his rebellious phase. Is it an improvement? Who knows. ]

Hey, I don't kink shame.

All I know about her is that she hasn't shown any malicious intentions yet, and has been really generous all around. I'll tell you this though, she's not really one for interfering in your decisions, so if you wanna let loose a little? Do it.

After all, I got a motorcycle no problem and it's going to be time to break a few more laws.

[honored_one]

are you SURE it's not malicious?????

[It often feels like that to him, but that's because so many things that have happened to Gojo here are deeply personal on a level he's not used to experiencing.]

a motorcycle? oh man great idea

go and break all the laws, live your best life

event things

[fuckthefamily]

Woke up on a houseboat with a girl who has a gigantic wolf and birds. Are you with Yuta, you two okay?

I'll head back to the apartments but my stuff seems to be here too.

[cursedwords]

I am not with Yuta, but I’m okay.

I’m in an apartment where the windows are underwater. Tides, I’d guess? My stuff is here too.

We’ve been through this before. Sometimes Thirteen picks new roommates for you.

[fuckthefamily]

You could have warned me.

I can come find you there, if you want.

[cursedwords]

Sorry, I kinda forgot about it up until this point. It’s been awhile!

Yeah you can come visit me if you want. We won’t be able to go home for now, for however long we’re supposed to be with our new roommates. I like meeting new people though.

[ He’s such a social butterfly, he certainly could’ve been in another life. ]
