Had an x-ray done today. Guess what they found? It was you, safely tucked away in my heart! They said my heart is fine with a friend like you in it. Send this to all the people you love and care for, if you get 5 back no one will break your heart. Xx

Had an x-ray done today, not sure what it is still! But Guess what they found? It was you, safely tucked away in my heart! They said my heart is fine with a friend like you in it. Send this to all the people you love and care for!

You don't have to though it's all for fun!

You’ll have to pardon me if this sounds generic but I simply couldn’t think of a more efficient way to do it. Simply put, I’ve successfully managed to convert my world’s calendar to the one of this world and I best estimate my birthday to fall sometime before December 25th, which is apparently known as Christmas Day here. Then I had thought “oh, but certainly others would love to join in the festivities!” and so now my proposal is for there to be a lovely winter ball on thinking the 26th, hence the reason for this invitation. I would like to extend my request for your assistance in preparations for the ball, if you would be so kind as to lend your aid.

[GENERIC PART OVER and here’s where the personal message begins-]

That wasn’t too wordy, was it? Well, you get the point. If you wouldn’t mind providing food and baked goods, please do so. Furthermore, please feel free to bring along Saber and Rin of course. I would just rather that nothing gets too… rowdy either. I’m sure you understand.

Your Secret Santa is Ken Kaneki. Have fun!

TEXT // too lazy to look up the date

[codere]

ARCHER *MIDDLE NAME HERE* *LAST NAME HERE* !!
Who do you think you are signing me up for something without telling me about it in the first place ??

Now I have to spend cash money on someone I don't really like !!

[ Just... another day with dealing with Rin. ]

TEXT

[swordboning]

You'll end up patting yourself on the back in the end so enjoy it.

[codere]

Archer.
Do you sing ??

[ This is going to end terribly... ]

{ OOC | rin is trying to organize a group song or two at the winter ball for rock lee's secret santa gift. if this is something you or your character would be interested in doing, there's a plotting document via google docs here that you can throw down some input on. if your character won't be there or you have no interest in it, feel free to ignore this comment. thanks! }

[swordboning]

It all depends. If you're asking me, I'll ask what you're willing to do for me. If you're ordering, certainly.]

Secret Santa! (Rei is bad at this)

[faithfulflame]

[Rei has approximately zero patience for most frivolous things, and the actual secret part of Secret Santa is definitely among those things she has no patience for. It seems absolutely silly, especially given the fact that she's met her assigned person at least once.

So, one afternoon sometime before Christmas whenever Archer's working at his stand, she just rides up on her bike with a large parcel tied onto the back.]

Good afternoon, Archer.

[swordboning]

Good afternoon.

[If it could be considered one. Hopefully. He's busy doing some cleaning but that's okay.]

ACTION // 12.20, late night

[codere]

[ After their conversation and everything, Rin took to hiding much like an injured and frightened animal would. The only thing in the house she could hide under was her bed and so when he comes to poke his head in on her, he'll find half the blankets underneath the bed with her. ]

[swordboning]

[Completely and totally looking under her bed. Mostly because he had gotten into the habit of sliding into bed with her while she was actually sleeping. It seemed like she enjoyed that.]

...what are you doing?

THROWS UP ON

[psycholawgy]

[ On the evening of the 23rd, a small package will be delivered to Rin's doorstep. It's a rather bulky box, maybe about 8 x 8 x 8. The package has "FRAGILE" written all over it, and a small note that says "DO NOT OPEN UNTIL THE 25th".

Whether or not they open it on the date stated or earlier, they will find a smaller package labelled "For Archer". It contains a grey scarf, and a small picture frame containing the title for Golden Archers. It says the company is under and owned by "Archer Dynamite". The scarf is folded neatly, and inside is a card, similar to the money cards everybody has. There's also an actual letter card with it. The card's cover only has Widget's smiley blue face :) on it. It should be obvious who it's from!

Archer,

I think you're improving a lot, and I can only hope that you'll let go of your inhibitions sooner than later. I'm glad we're friends, and I'm very thankful for all the help you've given me. I'm always here if you need me, okay?

With this card should be a present and another card. The card has all the money you've earned from Golden Archers. Don't think I heard you when you said I'm keeping all the profit, because it's all yours!

Happy holidays!

Love,
Athena

P.S. I wasn't sure what last name to put on the title but it needed one, so I made something up on the spot. :) ]

Text / perhaps backdated a few days

[niceguypose]

Hello, Archer-san!! I am sorry to bother you. : ) Is it true that you craft weapons?!

[swordboning]

If I do or not depends on why you want to know.

[littlestbaskerville]

[In Archer’s mailbox is a small, very poorly wrapped, package…but hey it’s the thought that counts!

With a card on top just saying; “Merry Christmas Archer! From Lily”

Inside the box are a few items resting on confetti shaped like stars and hearts.

First is a plush toy it’s red like his clothes and cute! Next is a red ribbon with swirls in the fabric and finally there is a small tin with half burned cookies…she tried. Merry Christmas from Lily, Archer.]

package!

[hoasen]

[Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! It is a time of generosity, but too bad Archer doesn't actually eat, so she can't share with him food that she's made for most people. DAMMIT ARCHER.

Instead, she got him something much cooler. Also a card is included:]

Archer,

Chúc Mừng Giáng Sinh! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

May your new year be prosperous and successful. Your business too!

TEXT // 1.06

[codere]

Busy.
Don't expect me home tonight.

[ Must be another gaming streak, right?? ]

[swordboning]

If you're not back by the time the second night starts, I'm coming to find you.

text 1/2

[poised]

If you're susceptible to illnesses as humans are, I wouldn't advise you to come visit any time soon.

[ . . . . . wait. She's actually curled up on her couch miserable with a pile of blankets and pillows--]

[poised]

On second thought, it would be best not to visit regardless. I'll inform you of one I am [not a bundle of pathetic] healthy.

[shacklebreaker]

Regarding ViViD: I've dispensed the details of our arrangement to an adequate number of interested parties. Expect to be approached by those individuals henceforth, if you have not been so already.

If there are not enough participants to yield a notable amount of data, do inform me, and I shall gather more people.

[swordboning]

I'll keep my ears open. Anyone I should be especially wary of or annoyed at?

ACTION // 1.08

[codere]

[ This is Rin avoiding Archer and everyone else after a certain conversation. There's been an unnecessary amount of tissues lately, so maybe she's gotten a cold?? ]

[swordboning]

[When large amount of tissues start to be involved, Archer is unavoidable, really. Really, who made Rin cry??????????????????

Totally finding her!]

What's wrong?

ACTION YEAHH

[projections]

[Shirou sees Archer hanging out at Rin's place and he just shrugs. He didn't come here to pick a fight but seeing Archer still makes him grouchy. ]

Hey Archer, can you sense any Servants nearby? [This is totally not about Rider disappearing...nope.]

[swordboning]

I can usually see them long before I sense them.

[Joys of Archer class.]

Why? Is this about Lancer?

[psycholawgy]

I need your help.

[swordboning]

With what?

text; [sent during the meeting with Athena]

[cardboard_journalism]

i'm sorry.

i didn't mean what i said.

i was just in a bad mood.

athena says you are good person.

a good person you must be.

you were probably right about napoleon too.

everything okay, then?

[swordboning]

[He honestly didn't expect Athena to be successful with anything. No, he didn't want to know what she did. Either way, if it kept this girl out of trouble with people even the police didn't have the power to retaliate against, it'd be fine.]

Yes.

[Inwardly shaking his head. He knew what Athena would expect next.]

And if I embarrassed you or made light of something you did, it won't happen again.

TEXT // 1.18

[codere]

Archer.
I want to do something you'd consider stupid and pointless.

Will you stop me ??
I just need to know if I have to ask Lancer to stop you or not.

[swordboning]

What are you planning on doing? If it's reckless and I don't approve, you may just have to.

[shacklebreaker]

[The message is sent not long after the 'Hermes' broadcast goes up.]

It seems your carefully-laid plans have hit a snag.
How will you proceed from here?

encrypted text;

[swordboning]

Re-evaluate the situation and profile the new owners here. That's what I plan on doing. Your own skills will be handy here.

action;

[beaconed]

(( the following day after this conversation ))

[ The doorbell rings at the Tohsaka residence after getting the address from Rin herself. Of course, Rin is most likely long gone by now, but she did leave nice gift for Archer as well as something for Jaune. ]

Hey! ...Archer, right?

action;

[swordboning]

.....if you're looking for Rin, all prospective boyfriends are to be turned back for the time being.

[Yep, those are his first words.]

some time... after the tours

[psycholawgy]

EMERGENCY
GO TO THE SPARE ROOM AT SIMON'S PLACE EVEN THOUGH ITS 5AM GO DO IT

[swordboning]

[WHY EVEN QUESTION IT?

Yes, he's showing up there, expecting an actual problem. Athena, why.]

What is it?

ACTION // after certain drops are processed

[codere]

[ Guess who is sadly poking at her CereVice, hasn't eaten a bite of breakfast, and is definitely not dressed to go to the food stall today? It's like her first day back all over again. ]

[swordboning]

Rin. If you don't eat, you're going to get sick.

[He even made a deluxe omelette for her. Which means he's a little worried since she never has trouble eating.]

voice;

[immobileyes]

I-I just wanted to check on you and see if you were okay and not really tired or anything! Anyway, just--

... Oh, this is Mary!

[ CLICK.

She tried. ]

voice;

[swordboning]

I happen to be fine. You should spend more time worrying about-

...this is Archer, by the way.

[CLICK.

Mary reaps what she sows.]
