[An encrypted message, not connected to Libra, will appear on the phone. Instead of the phone giving the usual notification, the Black Order guardians will hear bells ringing in their head until they check the message.
The Black Order guardians know exactly what it means: their bosses have a mission for them. And per usual, the message is annoyingly cryptic]
Constant this world may be An invasive demon breaks free By blades it spreads Until its in the head Shred shred shred shred
Deal with this foe A mission you should not forgo Remember though You must get at the root To get a garden to bear fruit.
[They can attempt to respond, but there is no reply as usual. The message itself be completely illegible to anyone who isn't a Black Order member.
OOC: This is the mission for the Black Order for February! Like any of the missions, it's up to you how your character wishes to proceed. It is also up to you if you want your character to disclose mission details to non-black order characters, though the Order itself tends to be secretive.
All Black Order members are receiving the same mission, so if you need to opt out, that's okay! We can just say your character is patrolling the city for the month while other members deal with it.]
[Finally. The asshole in his head has shut up, content with the fighting and destruction of several of the weird monsters roaming the cellblock. Ash stumbles out and towards the exit of the dungeon, still glowing a bit but largely back to normal.]
[You know, there's a part of Fugo that probably should've expected a text like this at some point. He doesn't necessarily know what was up with Ash during the mission, even if he has a very strong suspicion...
He didn't necessarily promise to keep the whole possession thing quiet.
... But Ash had asked him to not tell people. And the idea of going back on his word, even if he hadn't necessarily promised... the idea just makes his skin crawl.
... He only has a suspicion. He doesn't need to tell Eunie that.]
I'm not sure, no.
[Lying feels bad, but the idea of telling Eunie after he'd told Ash he wouldn't tell anyone feels worse.]
He's been a bit more volatile lately, but I don't know why.
[Ash is...extremely exhausted but comfortably settled in Elliot and Rean's living room with his dogs, watching something on TV while he waits for Pat to show up.]
[Apologies to Rean and Elliot because not only is Pat here, but he is here with Lati in tow-- in all fairness, though, the Maschiff has missed Orthie and Berry.
Ash has run into her while he was out, but we're both currently somewhere safe. I've been laying low, and wearing something that obscures my identity if I have to go out.
[Outside Fugo's door, Fugo will find a package. In the package, is a homemade torta caprese in a tupperware container. Considering Jun's never made it before, it's probably not the best Torta Caprese- but it tastes pretty good all things considered.
There is a note attached:]
Torta Caprese, as promised. Be well.
[There is no name attached to any of the packaging. You can't make him sign]
[Was this okay, she wondered? She hasn't spoken to Fugo in so long and things were so wild in Kaisou she didn't know what would be a good time to text. But she would rather know what's been happening than not. And they were friends even if they haven't talked in a while. So.]
Patrizio? It's Noel Vermillion. I don't know if you really remember me since it's been so long, but I wanted to see how you were doing.
I remember! It's good to hear from you again, Noel! I've been a little tired this month [But well, fire boy in a water month. Plus the Meropide raid, but he's not just saying that--] but I've been pretty good otherwise!
What about you? Feels like it's been forever since we last talked!
[Pat is currently in the basement, sitting on the floor as he attempts to assemble a bookshelf. Leonora the Charcadet is helping. Mostly by way of insistently reminding him he has snacks.
[ sometime between the hours of 1am and 3am, A small blue and red squirrel somehow finds itself in your home.
It's in as quickly as it's out, and behind it leaves a pile of about 38 different coloured rubber ducks, as well as a small two-pack of beautiful looking japanese sweets. They look like art, really. When eating them, they're flavoured Coconut and Caramel. Some flavours are just better than others. Underneath the gifts is a note in big, loopy handwriting. ]
Thanks for being a Pal, and helping out a guy in his time of need. Sampo Koski never forgets his friends, nor does he forget to say thank you! So, THANK YOU! This is just a small token of my adoring affection and unending appreciation. I'll see you around!
[ it's signed with a signature that's so exaggerated you can really only make out the word 'Sam'. ]
