[secrowtary]

I don't believe there's anyone who can stop you from doing that. I'll be honored.

[ She can be pretty savage, after all. ]

[mapsio]

Then allow me to bring tea and a cake. The present I'll have to think about. :)

[secrowtary]

Haru-san...a gift isn't necessary, really. But I appreciate the thought.

[mapsio]

You know me enough already to know that I will not be swayed.

[secrowtary]

[ He can't help but smile. That's right, Hibiki knows that already. ]

I won't stop you, Haru-san. But please at least let me know when is your birthday.

[mapsio]

That's a secret!

[LMAO BECAUSE HER OFFICIAL BIRTHDAY HASNT BEEN RELEASED LMAO. S...SOON, RIGHT?]

[secrowtary]

[ Laughs forever. ]

If you say so. But I have my methods, Haru-san.

[ Okay but since when Akira is a method ]

[mapsio]

I'd like to see your methods, Hibiki-kun! >:)

[secrowtary]

You're good friends with my methods, actually.

[ This has been Hibiki's poor attempt at making a joke, apparently?? ]

[mapsio]

You probably shouldn't give away your methods,
Hibiki-kun.

[secrowtary]

I'm never giving away my methods, they're simply too good. Unless they're telling bad jokes.

[ He's not really serious...but he can't admit that he's enjoying bad jokes now. ]

[mapsio]

Your method lights up your world if he tells a bad joke, Hibiki-kun.

[secrowtary]

Uhm. That might be true.

[ It is true. ]

But I'll look forward to your birthday, Haru-san.

day 174

[talim]

[ assume someone let jude into haru's apartment sometime before the sunsu festival, because there's a gift in a small bag with her name written on it in neat cursive sitting on the table and a note on cute stationary to go along with it.

dear haru,

i made this myself, and i hope it helps keep you warm this winter. thank you for being such a kind, reliable friend. i can't fully express my gratitude, but regardless, i wanted to try when i had a good excuse to.

sincerely,
jude

in the bag is a hand knit, lavender winter hat. the color matches the casual clothes jude has seen haru wearing from time to time, and it's just the right size to fit anyone comfortably.

here's hoping it makes her hair even fluffier! ]

12/20; delivery

[secrowtary]

[ This might be a low-frequency world, but nothing's gonna stop Hibiki from sneaking around and leave a gift in front of Haru's door. Inside the box he put there, she'll find a handmade sweater and a tin with cherry blossom tea with a short note attached:

Haru-san, I wish you everything the best. Please accept this gift and have a wonderful holiday.

Thank you.
Hibiki. ]

Sunsu

[stripartist]

[Yusuke is giving Haru art. Because Yusuke.

Enjoy a portrait of yourself dressed as Milady, Haru!]

[sopherias]

[ There will be a pair of colorful knit covers set down in front of the doorway to Haru's apartment. The covers look big enough to fit on a flower vase.

The note has Sophie's sloppy handwriting on it, with a simple message: "To Haru. From Sophie." ]

sunsu delivery!

[neatlytuned]

[There's a small package outside Haru's doorway wrapped in baby blue paper with small flower designs on them. Inside, she will find a lined notebook with rabbits and clovers in the margins as well as a pen set in different colours. There's a note that reads:

To Haru,

Happy Sunsu!! Hopefully these will be useful for you.]

From Nito Nazuna.

[ It's difficult not to notice the huge metal tree on the first floor of their apartment building. Hibiki walks closer in order to examine it, only to notice the box with the talismans next to the peculiar tree. On top of that, there's someone he knows standing here, putting away a dry pen. ]

Haru-san, hello. [ Hibiki offers a pen, smiling softly at her. It's not like he's carrying a bunch of them at all times. ] Do you know what is this about?

[mapsio]

Mm, well... you take a talisman and you write something you wish for on it. The idea is to anonymously grant others wishes— I think!

[She's written something and hung it on the tree already herself. Right now? She's looking for other wishes to grant.]

[secrowtary]

Oh, so that's how it is.

[ Wishes, his favorite subject. Hibiki looks up at the tree—in fact, he can see that there are some talismans hanging from the metal branches. ]

Have you written yours already?

[ Because you know, he's ready to climb this thing. ]

[mapsio]

I have written mine already.

[There are several talismans, good luck finding Haru's.]

Are you thinking of writing one, Hibiki-kun?

[secrowtary]

[ Hibiki might or might not be calculating how long it's going to take to check them all. Can he ever recognize Haru's writing... ]

I don't have a—

[ Last time he said that it didn't really end up well. Besides...a lot has changed since that time. ]

I just need to give it some more thought. Did you find something interesting?

[ He's eyeing some of the wishes hanging close to him. What in the world is kabedon and why would someone want a guidebook for that. ]

[mapsio]

[Yeah, don't go spouting nonsense. Especially since he recently lectured Haru about that!

She's taking a look around the tree, humming...]

I wonder sometimes if some of the people here are trouble. Just as troubled as some of us can be.

[secrowtary]

I suppose they might be. Everyone has their own story.

[ Even though most of the talismans in sight have more to do with getting certain items more than anything. ]

There's no chance that you'll tell me which one is yours, am I right?
