Hello, Lapis. It's Cynthia. I was wondering if I could take you up on your offer to meet up together.

<ULTRAMARINE>

[riptidequeen]

[She had almost forgotten about that offer, what with all the current events going on.]

Oh, sure. I'm not busy so any time that works for you should be good for me.

<mythhunter>

[icecreamchampion]

How does an evening walk in Bavan sound? I'd love to get to know you better, so we could walk, talk, see where things lead. And two monsters like ourselves should be enough to look out for each other, yes?

<ULTRAMARINE>

[riptidequeen]

That sounds good? I haven't really explored much of Bavan, oddly enough. And yeah, we should be good enough to handle any issues.

<mythhunter>

[icecreamchampion]

Then I'll be happy to be the first to help you explore. Shall we meet near the library, or do you not know where that is?

<ULTRAMARINE>

[riptidequeen]

You got me, I don't know where that is. I'm staying at the apartments by the Casino, 38-8? If that helps?

<mythhunter>

[icecreamchampion]

I can find that easily, yes, so it'll work out just fine.

<ULTRAMARINE>

[riptidequeen]

Okay, well. I guess I'll be seeing you soon?

<cellist>

[ikonsuit]

Lapis Lazuli.

I have an offer.

<ULTRAMARINE>

[riptidequeen]

Okay. What is it then?

<cellist>

[ikonsuit]

It's clear to me that you're lacking something.

I can help you find it.

I have a facility. We have food, shelter, training rooms fitted to test anyone. If hunting is an issue, I'll be happy to supply plenty of men for you to drown in toilets, or whatever it is that you do.

In short, I'm assembling a team. These are skilled people all after the same goal. I want you to join us.

<ULTRAMARINE>

[riptidequeen]

Okay first of all, what goal? My current goal is to just not screw up while here and not get killed.

I'm also not really one for being in a group of strangers either.

<cellist>

[ikonsuit]

Our goals are more or less the same.

Get to know them and they won't be strangers.

<ULTRAMARINE>

[riptidequeen]

I can do that alone, you know.

And I only drowned one guy in a toilet once, sheesh.

<cellist>

[ikonsuit]

Ineffective.

You say that as if once isn't too many times.

<ULTRAMARINE>

[riptidequeen]

To you maybe, I've been doing fine thus far.

I've drowned a lot of people, sometimes you got to flash it up.

<sweaterqueen>

[meowbel]

Hey, Lapis, you there?

It's me, Mabel! I wanted to ask, where do you live?

<ULTRAMARINE>

[riptidequeen]

[It's a minute or two before there is a reply since Lapis has been avoiding the network.]

Hey Mabel. And I live in the 38-8 apartments, 104 to be exact.

<sweaterqueen>

[meowbel]

You got it! You'll get a little something from me pretty soon!

[That being said, Lapis will happen to find a box with a blue sweater in it. In it, there's a note that read "Thanks for helping me out when I first got here!"]

<ULTRAMARINE>

[riptidequeen]

Okay...

[Once Lapis gets the sweater and reads the note though? Mabel will get a new response.]

You really didn't have to, Mabel. I'm just glad to have helped out.

<sweaterqueen>

[meowbel]

Nonsense! I'm just glad you like it! Now go out there and rock that sweater like the beautiful blue diamond rock that you are!

<ULTRAMARINE>

[riptidequeen]

I'm not a diamond though.

<sweaterqueen>

[meowbel]

Doesn't stop me from thinking you are one.

[coffeepots]

[On Christmas Eve, someone seems to have left a present at your apartment door! There's a box of monster-shaped cookies, a bottle of wine, and a woolen scarf in the color of your choice. The box holding everything has been wrapped in an attempt to distract from the fact that it's just a cardboard box and not a fancy gift basket.

...There also seems to be a voucher for a free eighteen-inch pizza at the bottom of the box, which can be redeemed at the pizza restaurant on the corner.

Attached is a handwritten note. It can be somewhat difficult to make out what it says due to how horrible the handwriting is, but if you squint and tilt your head, you can make out the following:]

happy holidays, from your superintendent
➼ hawkeye

[riptidequeen]

[Lapis totally is going to scrutinize the gift, especially the note which takes her a bit to be able to read. She is aware of the whole "person running the apartments" deal now, so she's not too surprised by the note. But she is pleasantly surprised by the gift itself.

While she doesn't have a gift to send in return, Hawkeye will totally find a note tucked under his door a few days later that simply says "Thank you, Lapis Lazuli" which also has a little doodle of him, it's not very accurate but then again she's probably only seen him in passing after all.]
