Action, Sometime during first week of event

[telecosmetic]

Eliza comes skipping up to Luce's door, before pausing. Both the book she's holding and the creature she has tucked under an arm are kind of taking up most of her space, so she's not quite sure how to knock on the door. Not to mention that she's not sure if Luce will be able to hear a knock...

It takes a bit, but finally she sets the book down for now and knocking somewhat harder on the door. She also moves to stand in front of a window and wave in hopes that Luce might notice her.

When Luce sees Eliza he runs to open his door. "Eliza!" he said with a smile, "Come in, I was having tea." Well, a tea party with his plush toys. "You can-" and then he saw the creature.

"Oh- whats that?"

She holds it up so he can see it better. "It's an armadillo! From the world beyond that door Zephyr made! It's harmless, too. Plus I brought a book about some of the other creatures in that place!"

"That is so cool." he said with a smile. "Whats its name?" after all it needed a name if it were going to live on this side of the magical gate that he purposely been avoiding.

Luce moved to tap on the shell.

"I didn't give it one yet," notes Eliza. "I was thinking you'd want to be the one to choose, since it's going to be yours, after all!"

[birdwingsandthings]

"I get to name it?" He said, eyes wide. He never had a pet before, so he never had the privilege of naming a living thing. This was something he would have to think long and hard on, after all names were something to help describe someone. Some even said personalities could be formed around a name. Parents thought long and hard on what to name their children, to see what traits they would want and what would go with the family name.

Luce looked at it as he kept on petting the shelled creature, as his eyes widened as he finally thought of a name.

"Its name will be Armadillo."

Luce was not very good at naming things.

[telecosmetic]

Eliza blinks a few times, but then nods. After all, there are a lot of people who call their Pokemon by species names, so it's not too odd to her. She pets it a bit as well. "I think that works! It's not like there are any other armadillos around her to get mixed up with!"

[birdwingsandthings]

"If more appear, maybe we can paint this one. Like I seen people do with snail shells."

[telecosmetic]

Eliza nods. "Yeah! That depends on if people want to bring more over though." She decides not to mention what exactly they're doing to the other ones over there. "Although I guess they're pretty easy to catch." And hard to kill...

[birdwingsandthings]

It was good Eliza didn't mention that or else Luce would have decided to go on a mission to save all the Armadillos.

"Its cool though, everyone should want one, right Armadillo?" he turned to ask the creature that was now sniffing around a little. It didn't seem to respond to Luce as it sat down between the Luce and Eliza.

"I am glad you brought it to me, thank you."

[telecosmetic]

"No problem!" says Eliza, before pausing for a bit. "Oh, and you mentioned a tea party?"

[birdwingsandthings]

Luce's eyes widen as a smile appeared on his face. "Yes, I was having one with a few of my friends." Well, plush friends. "You and Armadillo can come meet them and join up if you like."

With that he picked up Armadillo as well as he could and headed inside to his home. When Eliza steps in, she could see how everything was painted bright and friendly colors, everything was made for someone of Luce's size and nothing he could hurt himself on.

And by his bed was a low table set up for a tea party, and occupying three of the chairs were a plush bird, a plush frog and a plush green dog.

[Hey, stranger kid, Xanthous doesn't know you at all so that means the package for Luce is much more bare bones than those for anyone else.

Inside he'll find a pair of mittens and a beanie, but there's no note to be found. Too many people have been showing up in bulk, okay, Xanthous doesn't have this sort of time any more.]

[voiceinthephone]

[Along with the usual Christmas cupcakes (vanilla flavored with vanilla frosting of course), Luce gets an assortment of 3 bird cookies that have various if small-scaled magical effects. The bluejay make him lighter for better flight, the robin makes him warmer outside, and the cardinal make his hands glow when he needs light. The note reads]

Dear Luce,

I may not be Santa Claus but I hope you have fun with these gifts. Each cookie will last six hours at most so don't use them up in one go! Have fun and happy holidays!

- PG

[birdwingsandthings]

[In return, Phil gets a drawing of a fox. If Luce knew about Foxy he would have drawn a pirate fox. Attached is a letter.]



Thank you, the bird cookies are too cute to eat and I will protect them forever.

I am glad youre not Santa Claus I found out about him at the castle and he sounds creepy. You're not creepy.

-Luce

[voiceinthephone]

[the drawing now gets a spot on the Phone Tap Bakery walls along with all the pictures of friends and loved ones.]

Thank you so much for the drawing! And don’t worry about the cookies being eaten, I can always make more, but thank you for the care!

25th December

[metachrosis]

[It’s only a couple of cookies rather than a batch, because Luce is a child and Espio doesn’t want to give a child too much sugar... but Espio leaves a few meringue sandwiches ready for Luce to find in the morning. The note only says that they’re from Santa.]

[telecosmetic]

[Eliza leaves a drawing in Luce's mailbox the night of Christmas Eve. It's a drawing of him flying through the air, surrounded by his various stuffed animals, who are now in the form of living magical girl mascots. It's signed, and has "Merry Christmas!" written on it, along with a note:]

I used some of the flowers you folded for Toriel's gift. Don't worry, I told her they were from you too!

[aigue]

[Merry Christmas, Luce! On the 25th a package will be left on his doorstep containing a fox stuffed animal. The tag attached has a very foxy paw print, three guesses as to who it is from.]

[birdwingsandthings]

[A week or so later Luce pads over to Renart's house and leaves a drawing of him and the plush, with a note attached:

Thank you for Fox, she is a very good listener and likes games where you sneak around. Her favorite food is hot dogs.

[aigue]

[Oh no, this is precious. It's getting put up on her fridge.]

Feb 14th

[inruins]

[Luce can expect to check his mailbox and find a carefully wrapped package within. Two apple tarts have been placed in a small box and protected with some loose fabric. Besides the box is some puzzle worksheets and new-ish crayons.]

Happy Valentine's day, Luce! I hope you enjoy these treats ]:)!

-Toriel

Feb 14th

[birdwingsandthings]

[When Toriel comes by next, she will get a hug and a thank you from Luce. And told the tarts were very good.]

[devoutish]

[Luce and his valentines are cute, so in return, he's getting a small loaf of sweetbread in his mailbox. Pick it up before it gets cold!]

[birdwingsandthings]

[Aaaa! Luce is so happy to have gotten the bread. He has some of it for lunch and loves it! Thank you!]
