Hello! Um, so I'm slowly getting used to getting rewards while doing quests and I have this Christmas outfit that... simply isn't for my liking at all? It's pretty but I don't think someone like me should be wearing like this! If anything this befits my precious underclassman from back home more but I don't even know how this place knew my sizes and

Well, other than that and these cakes I've been getting, are there any people out there who've found gifts in their own home today? I've gotten mine and... well, they're beautiful! But I can't shake this weird feeling that this town knows way too much information about us because I don't remember talking about certain things to the people I've met so far, yet these gifts are a little too on the nose for me and I cnan't help but feel paranoid, hahahaha

And also! Ever since those ghosts have been appearing in town I keep disappearing over and over again and I had no way of controllign it!! So if you've been in the library and you've heard books dropping on the floor every now and then I'm very sorry! That was me, since I keep fading in and out of existence lately and I think it's a sign of things to come?????

But other than that, it's been a very eventful week, for better or for worse. Er, happy holidays, I suppose. Please keep yourselves safe, everyone. This is Tsumugi Aoba, by the way.

[ SO OMINOUS... but yeah, tsumugi sure is dealing with this rather well. ]

[ OH YIKES ]

Holy shit.
Tsumugi what the fuck!!!!!!!!
Where are you!

[fineprinted]

Vriska-chan? I'm at home at Bluo but yuo can't come in! not rught now

[ HE NEEDS TO GET OUT OF THIS OUTFIT FIRST AAAAAAAA ]

[hypertoxic]

What is that supposed to mean!!!!
Forget it, I'm coming over!

[fineprinted]

[ hold on give him a couple of minutes to take off these thigh highs, good lord ]

NO, YOUVE GOT TO WAIT
FOR ME

[hypertoxic]

WHY????

[fineprinted]

BECAUSE ITS
RUDE

[ okay okay where tf is that zipper... he's got to hurry it up bc vriska might actually find him in the very first house she checks in, ]

[hypertoxic]

Excuse me???? Aren't you the one 8eing rude right now????
I'm not having this argument, 8ye!!!!!!!!

[ look she's just,

doing this.

so unfortunately for them both, yeah, she'll totally find his house in bluo,

and like, she's actually doing this in such a hurry because she's worried about him?

but instead she just gets tsumugi in a...

... what is that. ]

Oh my god, what the fuck are you wearing.

[fineprinted]

VRiska? vriska-chan??
where are you? Don't tell me you

[ the door opens before he could even finish that sentence, and there is vriska, and here tsumugi is, wearing the floofy dress but thankfully he's gotten rid of the thigh highs

but at what cost.

there's an almost comical beat between them as he stares right back at her, before tsumugi hides his face in his hands in complete shame. ]

I... I told you not to come!

[hypertoxic]

[ Pardon her, she's going to kind of blue screen for a moment while she processes what's happening. In that time, she has two main reactions, which are:

1) oh god, he's cute
2) oh GOD, he's CUTE

These deeply confused feelings result in her breaking down in gales of laughter. Like she just loses it. She has to lean against the door frame so she can wheeze. ]

Oh my god, you're... ahahahaha! Why did you even put it on??

[ Oh no. Oh noooo. She'll cross to him so he can't run or hide from her or anything, and she's biting her lip to try and stop laughing and is just totally failing. ]

It's-- it's fine. It's really cute on you?

[fineprinted]

[ oh great, now he's positively red in the face out of sheer embarrassment. ]

I just wanted to see if it'd fit?! Like I said I don't even know how this place knew my sizes...

[ he deflates on his seat, wailing a little while waving her off.. huu, huu. ]

You don't have to lie to me, Vriska-chan. It's... really not for me.

[hypertoxic]

[ oh no, with the wailing and the gnashing of teeth. how can such an idiot be so weirdly endearing? it's too much.

it's so much, in fact, that she just kinda goes over and paps his face. pap, pap. squishing his cheeks between her hands a little so he has to look up at her, and beaming at him with absurd fondness. ]

You are an idiot. Like, truly, one of a kind! But no, seriously, I mean it.

[ wait,

seriously, she means it. that's weird.

blinking, she'll drop her hands. ]

On the bright side, at least you're currently pretty solid? I mean, I can personally attest to it.

[ wait no that's not helping ]

Tsumugi-kun! It's Riku!!! What kind of gifts did you get? If they're perfect for you, I really want to hear about them!

I got a book I really like from home, so I can lend it to you sometime if you want! If you're tired of fairy tales, lol.

The disappearing thing is happening to me too, but I didn't realize that was you dropping the books in the library? I thought it was one of the ghosts, but these ghosts aren't like the normal kind, so maybe not... they won't talk to me or anything. (´・ω・｀)

Oh, I've done the disappearing act a few times too. I think it's got to do with sticking too close to the ghost things.

Don't worry, lad. Besides the ghosts what you've described is very normal to this town. It was kind enough to give me a replacement batch of fresh sardines.

Perhaps you should spend less time around the ghosts if they're influencing you like that.

[fineprinted]

A set of omikuji and a bluebird charm... It's a little too early for New Year's though so maybe the former isn't just for me? As for the bluebird I haven't told anyone about its relevance to me, which kind of set me off...

Anyways, you came to the library, Riku-kun? I thought that nobody would want to drop by because of the ghosts so I'm really glad you dropped by! Even if you probably couldn't feel or see me,,, What kind of book did you get, though?

[fineprinted]

I have a roommate! He's very nice, kind of like a dad? Most of the time I just spend most nights in the library but maybe I should just stay home for the time being... I'd feel bad, though.

[fineprinted]

Why is that your first reaction right away...

[fineprinted]

Oh, more books! What kind of manga is it, though? And can you identify what kind of owl plush you've got? Maybe it's native around here...

[fineprinted]

They're not doing anything to us, though... No, they're blatantly ignoring us, it feels like. And I guess they're unavoidable to bump into them? The library's been pretty packed this past week, actually.

[scooptimistic]

What if you avoided the library for a bit? Do you have a bunch of them at home?

[fineprinted]

Fresh sardines? That's... very nice of them, Valvatorez-san. Is that your favorite food?

I'm not certain as to why there are ghosts during the holidays though... Unless they're referencing another fairytale? In that case I might have to stay here another night for research, hm.

[fineprinted]

The ghosts? There have been some at home, yes... Somehow it's a lot creepier having them here so I'd rather just continue my stay at the library if I can help it.
