[It's a shirt that says 'I'm a luxury...' on the front and 'few can afford' on the back. You know the one.]

Happy holidays - let me know if I got your size wrong or if the texture's bad for you and I can exchange it.
-Evangeline

Delivery

[happydreamed]

[An assortment of homemade baked goods - cookies of various flavors, brownies, cupcakes, the works. Attached is a note that says 'Happy holidays - Kantera'.

Flavors have been checked with Korone beforehand to assure there's no allergies.]

Delivery!

[bluediligence]

[ There's a small pile of presents set out for Eve, all beautifully wrapped in a pretty dark blue paper with a subtle heart pattern and satin ribbons.

"Happy holidays, darling!"

🪶 A wonderfully cosy homemade quilted blanket in a mix of blues, purples, and silvers. It has a whole bunch of designs, often featuring: cute snekwolves, turtles, and pigeons, together or separate, in different poses and scenarios; cups and bowls of noodles; cookies and other baked goods Korone knows she likes.

At 15ft by 15ft, it's kinda kinda hecking huge, but it's clear that an absolute fuckton of care and attention has been poured into every single inch of it. The illustrations are all hand-drawn by Korone, and a lot of the stitching has been done by hand as well.

🪶 A homemade SNEKWOLF SNOODIE and a matching version for Eve's human guise. Like the blanket, she's used blues, purples, and silvers for the colour scheme, though this time she's used subtle embroidery instead of bold illustrations. BIRDTILE PILE: EMBROIDERED EDITION. They are SO soft, warm, and cosy.

🪶 Two books! The first is a professional recipe book for home cooks and bakers, with tons of photographs to make things as easy to follow as possible. The second is a handmade, handwritten and hand-illustrated recipe book, featuring a whole bunch of Korone's own go-to recipes that she thinks Eve might enjoy ]

During The Whole Eye Incident

[othellovonryan]

First, we're both alive and stable condition.

Second, Choco is at the clinic and she's going to need an eyepatch for a while.

Third, bring stuff for cleaning wings please.

[wroughtandtempered]

fuck
shit
thanks for saying things in that order but also fuck what

on it though

February 14th - Happy Valentine's Day (delivery)

[bluediligence]

[ There is a pile of presents waiting for Eve outside her door this morning, far enough back that she won't trip over them but close enough that they're unmistakably, undeniably, intended For Her.

🪶 First, and biggest, are two giant luxury beanbags ... birdtile edition! There's a cute roumd brown-and-white pigeon beanbag, and a wider and flatter but still very plush and squishy turtle beanbag with a purple bandana.

🪶 That's a lie, actually, because the actual biggest is a snek-wolf sized beanbag bed shaped like a bowl of noodles, with a noodly "lid" that can be removed in case the actual sneknoodlewolf wants to climb inside for a snooze.

🪶 Then there's a custom keychain charm in chibi-style, featuring Eve snuggled around a turtle!donnie and pigeon!korone.

🪶 A box of homemade chocolates, of course!

🪶 And finally, a card! It features a cute doodle of Korone giving Eve a kiss on the snoot, and the message reads, "To my darling Eve-chan,
Happy Valentine's Day!
Love you lots,
Choco ❤️ ]

Two weeks after Korone's Eye

[othellovonryan]

WAS THAT TEXT THE FIRST TIME I USED LOVE TOWARDS YOU, PLEASE TELL ME I SAID IT AT LITERALLY ANY OTHER POINT?!

[wroughtandtempered]

l ma o nope but it's okay sometimes it just pops out
I almost used a heart at you when I was still cooling off from you getting headfucked I think
anyway it's always a good time to hear it
see it
whatever

Earlier In April (maybe like a week post-kidnapping)

[bluediligence]

EVE-CHAAAAAN 👀

[wroughtandtempered]

Choco-chaaaaan
whats up

un: kantera, text, post-jar murder post-party post-everything happens so much

[happydreamed]

If you'd like to try out the 'fussing over other people as a method of distraction from your own feelings' method, I hereby submit myself as a subject of fussing. I had a deeply terrible day involving being attacked by my own house guest.

[wroughtandtempered]

what the fuck
who the fuck why the fuck and also fuck them

give me twenty minutes
and could you preheat your oven to three hundred twenty five degrees
?
unless you'd rather come over here
I don't have anything ready sorry
but there is something I wanted to try for you so that'll have to do

Text - July 8th

[noodleboi]

I let myself be angry for once. It didn't go well. I didn't attack anyone at least.

Not sure if I feel better than if I held it in but I don't feel worse. I just feel different. After I slept anyway.

Re: Text - July 8th

[wroughtandtempered]

oh shit
I'm sorry it didn't go great but
good job anyway okay?
for trying

and not feeling worse and not hurting anyone is a good start
I mean it
compare that to what would happen if you held it in until it exploded

do you want to talk about it at all?

un: kantera, text

[happydreamed]

Would you like to do something for your birthday?

Re: un: kantera, text

[wroughtandtempered]

[ SOMEWHERE, Eve says "oh fuck" out loud. then: ]

oh fuck
I don't know
which is a little bit headfuck speaking but also I'm kind of fucking tired
a lot going on

[ a pause ]

on the other hand if I pretend it didn't happen
I feel like Choco-chan will either kill me
or get me a fucking lake when she finds out

After Wylan Alchemy Is Sorted

[schrodingerscockroach]

Are you okay?

[wroughtandtempered]

think I'd have to do voice to answer that properly
swearing's great and all but
human languages don't have shit on lupine for complaining at the top of your fucking lungs

voice; Post-jar, Post-birthday, Pre-reflections

[daturameloxia]

[Eve's phone will light up once, twice, three times with an empty message before Wylan finally gathers the courage to properly apologize.]

Eve? I'm...

I'm sorry. I'm so...

I know you must be angry with me, with how I acted, with what I did and didn't say.

I wanted to say that I'm sorry. And that I understand if that's not enough.

Re: voice; Post-jar, Post-birthday, Pre-reflections

[wroughtandtempered]

[ it's a good few minutes before she rings him back— mostly so she can comb through her own feelings, though he wouldn't know that. the first thing she says, immediately, is: ]

It's enough. Sorry to make you wait, I... fuck. I'm not always good at figuring out what my feelings are doing even when I'm not fucked in the head. I wanted to be sure.

...Anyway. You're not my first run in with someone I like getting fucked up in the head. Donnie did way worse than you and I forgave him, so try not to worry too much about that.

Post-reflections; voice;

[daturameloxia]

Eve? I think I need some help.

Re: Post-reflections; voice;

[wroughtandtempered]

—what's wrong?

un: abnormalitylover, text - after heart game

[abnormalizes]

How are you feeling?

[wroughtandtempered]

[ like an hour later ]

fucking ow

un: kantera, text, several days post-heart game

[happydreamed]

How are you feeling now?

Re: un: kantera, text, several days post-heart game

[wroughtandtempered]

👍
kind of weird but not terrible weird
more like someone cleaned up for me and put a few things back in different places
which for all I know is exactly what fucking happened lol
but the headache's gone and I can speak in full sentences
so I'm calling it good

post-heart; post-therapy starting; voice

[daturameloxia]

I'm sorry.

For trying to give up.

[He's listening to his new therapist and apologizing to those he feels he should.]

voice

[wroughtandtempered]

For— sorry?

[ unfortunately for Wylan, she doesn't really remember any of the shenanigans in her heart, outside of subconscious warnings and impressions. ]

August 17th

[bluediligence]

[ When Eve steps out of her room this morning, she will find a gift-wrapped box waiting for her. The only thing on the card is a smiley face.

And inside the box ...

Is a crime against humanity jimono ]

Re: August 17th

[wroughtandtempered]

[

what

what the fuck

she's pretty sure she knows the culprit for this one, but she's doing a sniff-check just to confirm before yelling: ]

WHAT THE FUCK, CHOCO-CHAN.

September 12th

[daturameloxia]

Hi, Eve? You wanted a steam distillery, do you have a room for it?

September 15th - RANDOMLY, A GIFT

[bluediligence]

[ In a gift-wrapped box outside Eve's room is an absolutely delightful hoodie ]

un: abnormalitylover, text

[abnormalizes]

Do you want this? I couldn't find a snake one to match, sorry.

gift

[roundandaround]

[Rinku's making her Yuletide rounds! She'll give Eve a seashell as well as... an immersion blender? Maybe she was thinking of the kitchen stuff in Eve's heart.]

like a week post-dreamwalking, voice

[abnormalizes]

Hey, Eve? If you're not busy, could I come over and do another emotionshare thing?

[She sounds uncharacteristically nervous.]

I need to, um. Peer review an emotion, I guess.

[wroughtandtempered]

Yeah, of course? Fuck, even if I was busy I could yeet it.

[ ...peer review an emotion... ]

...you okay?

March 14th - White Day Gifts

[bluediligence]

[ Having no idea how White Day is supposed to work for a triad is, in Korone's humble opinion, an excellent excuse to just go right ahead and spoil them both anyway.

Eve receives:
- a box of adorable heart-shaped chocolates, very similar to the relationship chocolates from her heart game in both presentation and effect! get wrecked ♥
- a handmade datemate-themed quilt, enchanted to always be the right temperature
- a cute -- actually reasonably sized for once!! -- basket containing, 1) a selection of some of Eve's favorite snacks and baked goods, 2) a cross-stitch heart with eels spelling out "I EELY LOVE YOU" ]
