coming over to pick up fluvius and drop off snacks and a console. no golden salmon. if i see one more golden salmon i'm probably gonna lose it.

btw i know king me said you should get access to warping and hammerspace but i need you to promise me you won't fill the armiger with things you got from the dumpster. [He hasn't even figured out how to give people access to his abilities yet, you'd think the king would've left him with that much on top of this whole mess.]

[actnormal]

Hey Noct, where's your fishing gear?

[illucesco]

wanna learn how to warp?

[actnormal]

I thought you couldn't?

doing this two weeks early so i don't forget, b-day gift, 4/23

[illucesco]

[At some point in time, a package shows up at Caleb's house. The scrawled note on it is in Noctis's handwriting: Happy birthday! I don't know what it looked like so I did my best artistic interpretation. Love, Noct.

What's it?

Well. It is a model train set, but carefully painted, by someone who has experience with painting miniatures and cosplay armor, with a cosmic aesthetic. Stars dot the black exterior, with planets of varying colors, shooting stars, and the occasional UFO. It's nowhere close to what the actual Astral Express looked like, but Noctis was working off limited information here, all he knew was "space train traveling among the stars" so he went with it.

Also accompanying the gift is...a picture of Regis and a younger Caleb, triumphantly standing by a newly-assembled tent. Noctis's note reads: I found this while rummaging around my closet. I'd forgotten I'd taken the picture. He was proud of you then, and he'd be proud of you now.]

[actnormal]

[Noctis gets a photo of the train set set up in Caleb's room, near his desk. The photo sits with the singular other photo he has, one of him and Noct the summer of Noct's last year of high school.

Would Regis be proud of him? He's not so sure. But he won't tell Noct that.]

[onahairtrigger]

Hey!
You good to have that whole POKEGO conversation now?

[actnormal]

As I'll ever be!! I still can't get out of the house for very long, so do you mind coming over?

a package; after caleb joins pokego

[lapislazily]

[There is a knock on Caleb's door, and yet Zhongli vanishes as soon as he's left the care package, not wanting to impose.

He's left a basket. Inside is a giant tupperware full of herbal chicken soup, a slightly smaller one with congee, a dozen homemade baozi, and a container of healing herbal tea with instructions on how to make it. Specifically the note says to reheat the soup and congee on the stove and not the microwave if he decides not to eat it all right now (but he's also welcome to share).

Congrats on the adoption?]

[illucesco]

Noct I thought I was mostly straight.

I'm not mostly straight.

*I am very not mostly straight.*

6/02 | Delivery

[whiteshroud]

[Outside of Caleb's door, he'll find a package. Inside the package is a caramel flan placed in a tupperware container.

And there's a note that reads:]

The flan, as promised.
Be well.

[There is no named signed you can't make him nope nope]

[actnormal]

[Aw!

I got a weird magic camera from the Goodwill that shows places the Express has been to when I point it at myself. Wanna test it out and see if it works on you too?

[actnormal]

Ooo sure!

voice; off-app; after cu’s post

[illucesco]

Caleb—if you get this, stay inside.

[actnormal]

I am, don't worry.

[He sends a photo of him trapped by two of the Creations, his Delcatty, and his Dewott.]

They'll make sure of it.

[vanescere]

[She's had a bit of time to both calm down... and become more upset... and now she sounds a bit worn out, but the worry is definitely still there.]

This probably seems random and out of nowhere and I'm sorry but I just... I wanted to make sure that you're okay... I can hear stuff that's not fireworks out there so... I was worried.

[actnormal]

[Oh it's the girl. Faye, right?]

Yeah, I'm fine! My pets aren't happy, but we're fine. I'm not going anywhere, March is here, and we're fine. Are you?

[trailblazingspirit]

Aventurine said to ask you about reviving dead gods—well, he was also being really weird and cranky, but he said you’d know about it all.

[A beat.]

…I’m really confused what he meant by that.

[actnormal]

I'm gonna need more context than that, March.

[conseqweinces]

hey caleb i've got a question about noct

[actnormal]

No he's not narcoleptic he's just sleepy.

late march

[hexcrafter]

I'm texting a couple of you rather than solely conspire with Wei Wuxian (gods forbid), but I need a favor. Or rather, I have a job for as many of you want to accept.

[this of course independent from the surprise pokemon he will be jumpscared by]

[actnormal]

I mean if you want something researched, just talk to Wifi. But what's up Viktor?

[ APRIL 1ST ]

[anyprice]

[ 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 54 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 Peach and Ginger. 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'. ]
