fuck o'clock morning after speed dating

[lalliho]

[At least to start out. Sorry about the hour, but he wouldn't have been able to sleep peacefully even if he didn't have weird magic insomnia, after the day he had.

Still, if Emil doesn't get back to him after a few telepathic nudges, he'll try again later. Like every hour and a half. This is him showing restraint.]

[enflame]

( Don't worry, Emil gets the message the first time. It's actually the first time he's been jolted out of sleep by the weird sensation, but once it happens he's as awake as he can be.

It's at least convenient to have an image of who is sending these nudges. If it was some speed dating rando he'd have to swipe left on that shit pretty quick. )

Lalli? What is it? ( Getting right to the point because something is probably up if he's pinging him at fuck o'clock. )

[lalliho]

[The very idea is horrifying... Don't even suggest it.]

I'm scared.

[enflame]

( Not one of the first things he would have guessed. )

Hmm? What for? Of? ( He's not as awake as he'd like to be, actually. )

[actus]

???

[enflame]

( What the fuck why are there suddenly question marks in front of his face......he hates psychic typing. )

???????

[actus]

[ get used to it. at least he didn't send emojis. ]

you didn't tell me he asked to move in together.

[ this sounds like an accusation. ]

[enflame]

( Now his brain is also similarly feeling very ????? )

I didn't know you could send these things to the wrong person, but you did.

telepathy

[talim]

I'm pretty sure Lalli hates me.

[ wow, did someone just jump right to the point. ]

[enflame]

...Maaaaaybe?

( As in "Lalli maybe told him that Jude is a shitty doctor and kind of stupid," but that's just a maybe!! )

Why do you think so, though?

[talim]

Because he more or less told me. Multiple times.

I have no idea how to get through to him. I never meant to upset him...

[enflame]

I won't say he's not frustratingly difficult at times. ( You saw the leg thing lmao... ) But that's part of who he is. He's not a bad guy...far from it! Just different compared to most people.

What happened to get him so worked up, anyway?

Not here!

[teratias]

[With the surprise snow, there's a box left for Emil outside his room. It's thin and a bit long, and on top there's a note from Waver:]

Thanks. Fair's fair, hope these fit.

[Inside the box is a pair of brown leather gloves with thick woolen lining.]

at some point

[lalliho]

Emil.

Does Sweden have all the turtles?

[enflame]

( ...he's in the middle of Netflix and Lizard when he gets this weird ass question. )

What? Why are you asking about turtles?

[lalliho]

[gasp!! This is so incriminating...]

Because. Answer the question.

[enflame]

( Thank God he can chew while sending telepathic messages. Also he barely remembers what a turtle is but that's fine. )

We don't have any turtles, let alone all of them. Why are you so interested?

( 'Because' isn't a good enough answer... )

secret santa!

[yancat]

[ Jumin wants that free week and has no time to waste. Fortunately, he also has (self-proclaimed) great taste in gifts. Emil will receive a rather expensive wristwatch. Pretend it says Shehui at the bottom... Attached is a card in elegant handwriting:

Emil,

I would have liked to be more generous, but time cannot be bought.

Make every second of your journey count.

From,
Your Secret Santa ]

SECRET SANTA DELIVERY

[idolpedia]

[TIME FOR ANOTHER SECRET SANTA DELIVERY. There is a package waiting for Emil with a a huge knitted scarf on the inside. Attached is a note that reads:

Hello,

We may not know each other, but I hope that you can get some use out of this gift during our colder days in Shehui.

-Secret Santa.]

day 174

[talim]

[ sometime before the sunsu festival, assume someone let jude into emil's apartment to leave him his gift. it's in a small, decorative box (glitter) with his name and a note written in neat cursive attached.

dear emil,

i had to be sneaky when we went shopping for yarn together! good thing i managed to avoid letting you catch me, huh? this is to keep you warm this season. you've been a good friend to me, one of the first i made here, and for that, i can't begin to express my gratitude.

yours truly,
jude

p.s. i hope you were able to give lalli something special! i've been rooting for you! ]

in the box is a blue scarf, the same shade of dark blue emil had described as being rather fond of. there's a cute little : 3 stitched into it. ]

12/20; delivery

[secrowtary]

[ Emil, do you remember the conversation about cat-shaped cookie cutters? Because they're happening. They're inside a fancy bag left outside his apartment in the morning of the 20th, and there's a short note that reads Merry Sunsui. ]

[lalliho]

[‘Twas the night after Sunsu and all thro’ the day, Lalli had fret and fret over doing something gay.
The cake was delivered. It was a heart -- not hard! Emil must understand, even without a clear card.
He'd respond in time, ‘twas hardly “anonymous”... But the night dragged on, and Lalli fell into a fuss.

Marching on down to the other boy’s bed, he gripped the sheets and pulled. Fall on your head!
With a sniff and a turn, Lalli left the room. Dark as it was, it was clear his expression meant doom.]

I’m not fighting, [he said, when the door behind him shut.] I’m mad. You are such a walnut!

[enflame]

( How holly and jolly...Emil wakes up we other his face slammed on the ground, totally unsure why this is happening to him. It's not like Lalli's telepathic message is any indicator. "Such a walnut"... What the fuck, man??

He comes out of his room a few minutes later, dressed and with a curious lizard in tow. One hand is running at his nose, hoping it won't start to bleed. )

What are you mad for? ( Said with groggy confusion and a tinge of his own anger. Ow. )

[lalliho]

[He wonders what's taking so long, and nearly leaves... But it makes sense to not just wander around in your pajamas, or however Emil slept. Having Lisko has an audience for this Little impulsive spat... Hrgh. Definitely sticking to telepathy now, even if he doubts he could have said everything he wants to say out loud anyway.]

Even if you didn't like it, you should have said something.

[Because everyone is on the same page. No doubt.]

sunsu

[splinten]

[Emil is gifted a catalogue of the biggest blockbuster hits from 1980-2010, and a movie player which Lisko can easily charge. It's signed in orange pen, "Watch with popcorn. --DS"]
