[ he actually does bother to draw his fortune and even gets middle luck!! Better than he expected.

But it's his fanmail that gets most of his attention. There's some cute stuff, some letters from other idols, and a doujin. ]

Middle luck indeed.

[reflectedglory]

...Uninspiring overall, or a range from nice to horrifying?

[Glory is looking (and sounding) a bit different today]

[deicider]

[Cardinal flips disinterestedly through with their pile until they come to one that makes them wrinkle their nose in distaste.]

Video games? Please. I'd rather fingerpaint.

[weenwoon]

What's wrong with video games?

[Live][Fanmail Burning]

[bad_crowmance]

[ Hello guys, gals, and nonbinary pals-- it's your monthly ✧・ﾟ:* Fanmail burning Live! *:・ﾟ✧

Ordine has dragged in a dumpster and got the fire going before he calls out to everyone-- ]

Come here and light everything you hate on fire!

[ That being said, he doesn't seem to be burning his own fanmail, instead admiring the body pillow he got.

Oh yeah, and he's still sexswapped. ]

Re: [Live][Fanmail Burning]

[crimeson]

I see some things never change.

[presentational]

[ with three pieces of fanmail, holding two of them up jubilantly with them spread like cards in one hand. the third piece is a stocking, so it's just chilling where it was ]

Wow! This many, even when I've been gone? I'll definitely treasure them forever!

[ they're not even opened and it definitely doesn't look like Hunny is even going to try to read them ]

[crossmyheartandhope]

Oh - hey! Welcome back, dude!

[crimeson]

...So like, time to read a lot of romance novels, yeah?

[reflectedglory]

And time for some new sexy corruption lives, maybe.

[reflectedglory]

[Glory is looking a lot like some art she received at the moment, which she looks amused about.

She also looks pleased about several other things, but it's the fact that she's on the idiocy chart this time that gets a blink of surprise. ]

I wouldn't have thought I'd be the highest...

[send_noods]

[He's not paying attention to the mail, instead wondering why this boy looks familiar before it clicks]

Oh, hey! Sex-swap potions are makin' the rounds lately...

[beautifulend]

[ the moment they see the scarf they're wearing it, thanks for the conveniently timed Bad Decisions Hiding Clothes!

they also put on the wolf paws but that's less to hide bone jewelry and more because that's just cool. they smile fondly at the fanart and pocket the keychain, before finding a place to sit to leaf through the doujin with mild interest. once that's done with though, they get to this and start painstakingly reading it, sounding things out as they go -

they don't really get that far into it before they bark out a half amused, half 'holy fucking shit what is even happening in my life anymore am I going to have a heart attack and die?'. ]

They sure didn't take long to latch onto this, did they? Hah.

[overworker]

[Scoots over next to them.]

It... doesn't take them very long, no.

[But more importantly. Snuggling dog.]

[forgottenmercy]

[is going through his fanmail. almost smiles at a couple of pieces: cute. sighs a little, barely more than exhaled breath. at the bandaid and note and at another note.

...very lightly takes hold of the doujinshi between two fingers. and sighs again.]

...a very, ah, persistent fan, with...certain tastes.

[softlyfalling]

Ehhh... what is it this time?

[overworker]

[Serenity takes her box of fanmail and takes a seat, going through one at a time.

...she proceeds to die immediately as she's presented first with a body pillow featuring Ordine and Phoenix... NAKED.]

Ohhhhhhhhh my god--

[IMMEDIATELY SHOVES IT DOWN AND TRIES TO??? COVER??? IT. HELP.

And she tries to move on but there's no recovering from that. And it only gets worse as she's presented next with a lewd doujinshi of her and Randy in the kitchen. The pin up also embarrasses her, but. It's hard to tell how much of it is from what's already been done to her.

The romance novel and picture of her and Lily are cute though.]

Hhhhhhh...

[forgottenmercy]

Did you, ah, receive something nice...?

1/2

[widenessofthesea]

[ oh, how cute. odd, but... fine? cute.

and there's that fanfic author again who apparently wants S to have a mother figure, well, harmless enough, and— ]

[widenessofthesea]

[ that's going in the fire though she can appreciate the rendering and

oh. oh no. shit. fuck. she fucked up she's going to die ]

[failedsafe]

Oh nooo, this is cute! And this!

[She stares at this spicy work briefly, whistling her appreciation before tucking it away safely. This is also charming.

But this novel has her rapt attention.]

...Wow, you guys are really watching us closely to be that accurate, huh?

[she puts it away for later.]

Stars, most of this stuff is lewd!

[she seems perfectly fine with that, though.]

[crimeson]

Got fun lewd stuff?

[featherbeaned]

That time again already?

[ She finds the keychain first, squeaking in delight ] Wild City clothes! Cute! I should get some for real -

[ And then come the scarf and mittens, which she puts on immediately. The two short notes are set aside ]

There's other kisses I want more, sorry, fans! Oh? Oohhhhh, what's this?

[ She settles, cross-legged on the floor, to read a raunchy romance novel and a doujin ]

[send_noods]

Back to your usual self, huh? Good thing the hair came with you.

[dumbjockenergy]

[ arya's buried somewhere in the piles of boxes, wearing the santa hat in her position color, with a small pile of the christmas stuff everyone received next to her.

she's gotten a lot of nice notes!! and an aryevals picture.

but her attention is currently on the doujin she received. it's absolutely riveting until she reaches the alien tentacle sex part and then-- ]

I would like to know what about me said 'into men' to this fan so I can change it immediately.

[ she's too gay for this, guys. ]

[nohalation]

Sometimes they just do whatever they want. It cannot be helped!

[romanticlove]

[This time, there doesn't seem to be a single piece of fanmail Ren wants to discard, except maybe the empty cookie box. The bracelet and tsumtsums were met with adoration and admiration and currently she is staring at the pin up of Serenity with her jaw practically to the floor.]

I-Is she not wearing a top....?

[Oh no.]

[overworker]

[--she recognizes that pin up. Oh no.]

...ohhhhh no-- I-I'm... sorry you had to see that.

[She's pretty sure her blood is just gonna forever be trapped in her face after this.]

[flawandorder]

[Everyone seems to be gathering and-- huh. Interesting.

He doesn't expect to receive anything, considering his short time here. And yet. He has some things to Take In.]

...interesting.

[reflectedglory]

...What sort of stuff did you get?

[runawayprince]

[Noctis is looking through his fanmail carefully, actually grinning ear to ear as he does. The one of him and Thorn gets a chuckle, but ultimately he's going to keep it.]

Huh, this isn't so bad. I guess I should save up and get some outfits from the other units...

[He's examining the paper doll, careful not to crinkle or tear it.]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He does in fact draw his luck - and he will take it; honestly, middle luck sounds GREAT]

[He lingers a while over the the cute stuff, though he pauses for a moment longer still at the reindeer rescue doujin, because, lbr, he is having feelings about getting his mom's approval even if it's only in comic form]

[Next come the letters, and the smile on his face turns soft and a little bit goofy]

[Then comes the porn, and he flushes, deep red, shuffling it out of the way to look at the last thing in the stack.]

[Which is a mistake, really. All of the color drains from his face, and he flinches - fumbles to get it to the bottom of the stack and ends up with the porn on top again]

M-man. They kinda went crazy this time, huh.

[polarislight]

Hurricane! Look what someone was kind enough to send me. [She holds up a sea glass green leash.]

[She's got like. Seven of these. All in the colors of everybody on HSS except her.]

[bondsofsuffering]

[He draws his fortune - great luck!

Putting on the santa hat and setting the ornament in a keep section, along with a flipbook, poster, novel, drawing, and keychain. He peers at the inside of the doujin for about a second before putting it in its own discard pile.

He does spend some time, however, looking at a letter. Hmm...]

[protectshisown]

Get a good letter?

[vitainmorte]

[ after watching a few others she'll also do her fortune; luck is fine, thank you.

carefully reading through her fanmail tho ... the tsumtsums get a smile, charmed, and so does this letter, but a few of the others mostly get confused looks... what...

this gives her a substantial pause, though, and she flips it over a few times to see if there's any name it's from since it sounds like someone familiar with all... this...?? Oh well.

this also gets a pause, incredulous, before she looks up at the nearest camera. ma'am, this is a wendy's? ]

We both work here.

[nohalation]

Did you get something bad?

[justfuckingtryit]

[All the cute fanart gets him to smile]

[He might suclk a little at the fact that the cookies didn't get here in one piece, but it's swept quickly away by the flush at the Cobalt body pillow. And the interest as he flips open the romance novel and starts to read]

Someone has way too much time on their hands.

[But he looks pretty pleased]

[romanticlove]

Did they eat your cookies too?

[She would have eaten them. They looked like they could have been cute.]

[send_noods]

[thanks for the luck, shrine.

His grin gets bigger the more he looks through his mail]

My aesthetic. Keep it comin' fans.

[worldlyafflictions]

[holy shit]

I guess it pays ta be ridiculously sappy in public...

[polarislight]

Oh, now, this is lovely. [She really likes the bookmark. After admiring it for a couple moments, she pockets it.]

[The leashes get a laugh out of her.] I certainly appreciate the sentiment, but I don't think any of them will stand still long enough for me to get them on.

[The last one... ...

... ....

Huh.

She stares at it for a second. Then she just. Folds it up. She doesn't wanna give whoever made that one that satisfaction of a reaction. Geez.]

[send_noods]

[the baby leashes are easy enough to spot and he leans over in a stage whisper]

You wanna use Get Hype? You'll get 'em leashed with no problems.

[inspiteful]

[ Eclipse smiles at the tsumtsums, tucking them away into his sleeve. He opens the box of coal and sets it aside with a confused look.

...Then he gets to the romance novel and he's...actually reading it? He has the expression of someone who can't believe he got sent something that would reasonably be a thing back home. Or that it's decently well-written, gods. He looks a little flustered.]

[featherbeaned]

All right there, Eclipse?

[ Wandering over, munching on some of the coal ]

[softlyfalling]

[ well this is... a mixed bag, she's just going to... tuck that away thanks and also that's lovely, actually; this one gets a light snort and this is useful...

she's... making a mixed set of expressions at this story. ]

Really now...? I think I liked the first part best...

[ ah well— ]

...of course.

[ aaaaaaand then there's this illustration, which... she's seems to not know how to feel about. ]

[reflectedglory]

...Anything good this time?

Calligraphy live

[auguryofinnocence]

[Vergil has a letter open on the coffee table which he's bending over with a calligraphy brush and paper as he starts the live.]

Dear Thancred,

No! Where's my sticker? I'm going to kill you and you'll deserve it. But I got one for you, enjoy.


Best wishes,
Vergil

[There's also a couple drawings and another letter out. Girl Vergil hot. Nothing that requires immediate burning this time?? Amazing.]

Re: Calligraphy live

[586]

[ he had come down to collect his stuff and then leave, but he catches vergil throwing a live, so he slithers over for some free points. he gets a bit caught up staring at the girl version of him though. ]
