You know how people say snowflakes are unique and make a big deal about it, why do you think they don't say the same thing about potatoes?

1. Why are you awake? 2. Potatoes lack Pretty Privilege 3. What brought this on, it's September

[ So Ange sure saw Usagi's post, but introducing herself? In public? Where people can talk to her?

Please, that's like walking through a minefield for someone as introverted as her. So rather than actually replying on there, Ange decides it's better to shoot Usagi a private message - especially since she did note the way the other looked while making that message. ]

Hey, do you feel like grabbing something to eat together?

[ Maybe she won't feel the need to overcompensate for that exhaustion as much one on one, Ange figures. ]

Ange-chan! I'd love to get something to eat!

Usagi, I just thought I should let you know that despite what everyone might think, I haven't killed anyone yet.

[......What a way to start off the conversation.]

Uuuh yay?

But also... why are we starting a conversation this way?

hey!!!
so what are your thoughts on top hats?

specifically a plant top hat
that we'd make together
for Wu

Actually, I think top hats are super handsome and sophisticated![Of course, Usagi is SUPER FUCKING BIASED considering Mamoru wore them like a freaking BOSS.]

Eh?

Why would you want me to make it with you though? For Wu? [It's not that she and Wu are on any bad terms, they're not. But the male monarch never asks for... anything from her. So it couldn't have been his idea to ask for her help or opinion, right?]

A Housewarming Gift Has Arrived!

Vira-Lorr sent a gift over with a little note attached to Usagi and Makoto's place, just as she'd planned. She wasn't always great about these things but when she'd found a pair of stone shoes so ornately designed to serve as little flower pots, she couldn't resist.

"I found a pair of these. One for each of you. You can pick your own favorite flowers to go in the both. Your house is already quite lively in color, but a little more never hurt anyone. Feel free to stop by my place anytime!"

-Vira-Lorr

( Peter's seen a few posts pop up featuring Maul, and though he's very nervously stayed away from actually commenting on them... he'd quietly watched what's been going on, observing from the shadows. Maul remains a mystery — and very much a perceived threat — but it isn't until the video with Varian and Usagi in it that the teen actually thinks it's time to step in.

Even if it's very cautiously and shyly, Peter opting to send the girl a private message. He knows Varian is well-aware of how dangerous Maul can be, and the girl seems to be aware of that too, judging from what she says, but... he's still worried. It feels wrong not saying anything, because Peter knows firsthand what Maul is capable of. He hasn't forgotten how badly it hurt, having the Sith Lord force his way into his mind, ripping the demon up from his subconscious.... the violent effects it had on Paimon afterward. What happened to poor Luna as a result.

Letting Maul into people's heads feels very scary and very wrong and Peter's extremely worried about it. He finds himself reaching out to Usagi, sending a video message: an anxious-looking young man with dark circles to rival a raccoon's, sat on his bed with his long legs crossed. )

Hello— I'm sorry to bother you out of nowhere. I uh, I know you don't know me— My name's Peter. ( He fumbles, with an awkward little smile. )

But I... I guess this is kind of strange, but I saw your message, with Varian and... and Maul. And I just wanted to make sure you're really... okay. I just— kind of personally know how dangerous he can be when he's in... people's heads.

( She looks young, around his age, and seems very sweet, and even though she seems okay after Maul having access to her mind last month, Peter's an Extreme Worrier. )

[Usagi doesn't recognize this user name, not even a little. Or the boy on the other end. She blinks and realizes she has no idea who this is. She keeps her smile gentle, open, and welcoming.]

Hello, Peter-san, nice to meet you. You can call me Usagi, and you're not a bother.

That's really sweet of you to be worried, thank you. I know Maul can be terrifying. [Well, not to HER but that's because Usagi is scared of way different things.]

I'm sorry if he hurt you in some way, Peter-san, to know how dangerous he can be.

[It doesn't take Fern very long to make his way over to Usagi's. He isn't one hundred percent sure about this, but it's more of a test than anything, and Usagi has never steered him wrong. He trusts her fully, and it does seem like the opportunity to not be grass - even if it's just for a little while - will help him clear his head. Sort some things about his identity out.

It'll be fine. As long as the city doesn't interfere, it'll be fine.

He's still a bit nervous as he makes his way up the front steps of the Pink Monster. At least seeing the house is a nice comfort, though he still takes a few moments to brace himself before knocking on the door.]

[Usagi opens the door and smiles as she pulls Fern into a hug upon his entering.]

Hey, Kuma-kun! Come on in!

[She closed the door behind Fern.]

You ready to be human?

You have been invited for Ruby Rose's birthday party!

The party will be held at the house Ruby lives in over in the Gaze district. [ There's an address included, or just general directions, along with the time the party starts. ] Feel free to dress up or not - you know Ruby won't mind either way. You're also free to bring a present if you want to. If you want to bring one, but you're having trouble thinking of what to get her, you can ask me, I guess.

.. Or Oscar. Actually, ask Oscar.

[ Please don't make her talk to people. ]

Let's do our best to make it fun for Ruby. She's had a really crappy time around this time last year, and I know she would love to be surrounded by her friends.

( ooc: the log for the party can be found over here! )

You're such an awesome girlfriend, Ange-chan.

Usa-chan! You won't believe the cute new things that they have down at the boardwalk, you have to see them!

[Makoto certain seemed rather chipper and a bit louder than she usually was as she spoke. Some poor vendor in the background was trying to get her attention and ask her to please quiet down a little.]

Oh, and they have these really amazing cinnamon rolls now! They're really good.

[Uh oh.]

Um... Mako-chan, honey, did you EAT the cinnamon rolls? [Did Mako-chan get high?]

Anakin has gone to the Dark. I suggest you be careful and if you see him around, let me know.

Would this switch to the Dark Side happen to include a name change, by any chance?

[Maul had known that fighting Lance was going to set him back a lot in the progress Usagi and others had been helping him make. But he couldn't help it. To have someone kill the man he loved and then gloat about it in a public forum was more than he was willing to tolerate.

Now, after the fact, he waited to see what Usagi was going to say. They got together for weekly manicures given she liked to file down his claws and paint them while Maul figured he could indulge her this small bit of happiness. So with another of those coming up, he waited until the day when they were to get together, figuring they could talk about everything then.

He went over to the Pink Monstrosity and let himself in. Venge trotted alongside him and he sat down on a sofa in one of the main rooms, waiting for Usagi to come in.]

[Usagi had seen Lance's post, and of course, she had seen Maul's reaction. But she also knew there was no standing in his way about this one. Was Maul doing way better? Absolutely. Would Maul ever be to the point where he could handle someone killing one of his loved ones?

Absolutely not.

That was something innately Maul as much as it was several others. She understood it because she did it too. When Maul comes in, Lua, her margay, immediately jumps down from the rafters of the entryway onto Maul's shoulders, purring out a greeting before jumping down and trotting into the main living room. Maul's mug is already on the table filled with steaming hot chocolate atop a coaster. His favorite snacks are on the table beside an autumn red nail polish and top-coat bottle as well as tissues and cotton balls.]

I was thinking just the red for autumn since Halloween is over! But we could also do like an orange and yellow and brown!

[Usagi's voice called out from the kitchen before she came out with a small shallow bowl filled with water.]

What do you think? [She set the bowl down on the table and moved to sit on the couch.]

[Atsushi is leaving a clumsily wrapped package outside of Usagi’s door tonight. Inside, she will find a pair of white leather gloves (recommended for blood protection,) with little bows sewn onto them (recommended for style.)

He’s too awkward to leave a card, but it’s meant to be a Christmas gift.]

[ Usagi will find a present from Ange in return! It's a little small, but if she opens it, she'll find a golden ring inside. Ange's been practicing her powers, and a rabbit felt relatively doable at her level and appropriate for Usagi..

There's a small note included with the gift: ]

Thank you for always spreading your light. It is more appreciated than you might imagine.

[ Ange got embarrassed though.

So it's unsigned. ]

It's one of the few things I do best.

And thank you for the ring! It's the perfect size!

[ A small basket containing three red omamori, a black and gold lacquer box of persimmons and a number daifuku shaped to look like snow rabbits will appear on her doorstep on New Year's day. There is a small note attached. ]

My deepest gratitude for the cookies. They were both lovely to look at and delicious.

Wishing you a joyful and prosperous New Year.

Edited 2022-01-02 05:39 (UTC)

[Giving Usagi a Christmas present was pretty easy, giving how many things Maul knew she liked. So he was able to find things quickly, though he still tried to put a bit of effort into it. He used all his stealth skills and put them to good use, even going down the chimneys of many of his friends as he went around Trench like a demented Santa Claus. So Maul left her some sparkly nail polish that he knew both she and he would like, given it'd likely end up on his claws eventually. Also was his gifts of one giant bunny and one creepy bunny as he'd done last year.]

Merry Christmas, Usagi. I wish I could give you a gift that shows how much you've helped me over almost the past two years, but this will have to do.

[A few weeks after she drops off her gift a small robot is left on her doorstep. There is no message left with it.

The robot itself is fairly rudimentary. It responds to some basic commands, will follow her around the house and is clearly cobbled together from scraps. Maybe it would make a decent paperweight?]

[Usagi blinks when she gets the little robot. It's. ADORABLE?! She has no idea who made it and the little robot has no way of sharing that with her. Her immediate thought is maybe Varian? He can make robots? Who else does she know that is able to build stuff like this?

Either way, his name is now Obo and he's hers.]

[So heyyy, that Maul network post is a huge mess and he has a very large concern for the two people most invested in him being better. Usagi and Varian are sensitive, and he can guess how bad this is hurting them.]

I guess it's pretty dumb to ask if you're doing okay, huh?

[There's the sound of crashing waves in the background when she answers.]

I can't say I'm feeling great, no.

Whether he meant to or not, Maul basically said his anger and grudge meant more than I did. Like, yes, I matter, but not as much as his anger does. [If she sounds sad, it's because she is. She's trying not to be because Maul is a very... reactionary sort and reacts before he realizes the repercussions. Which, she GETS because she's like that too to a lesser degree.]

[Set after this thread!]

[Maul calls up Usagi, and while he's not distressed, he does sound a little more tense than usual.]

Usagi, I may have done something I shouldn't have.

[Well that's... never a great way to start a conversation.]

And uh... what might that be?

[After all that has happened to him in the past two months, Maul knows there is one person he really needs to talk to right now. To both apologize, explain, and just be there for her the way she's always been there for him. She's one of the most important people to him and he needs to make amends. He calls her up and there's a thoughtful expression on his face.]

Usagi, can I come over to talk?

[Usagi, for the first time ever, has left Maul on "read" for several hours because right now, she's debating with herself if she should. She knows what Varian and Fern think. She knows what everyone around her has said on the matter. And considering their last two conversations was him fighting her and then him disappointing her, she doesn't exactly feel thrilled to see him.

But eventually, there is a reply, short and clipped.]

Fine.

[She contemplated telling him to meet her at the beach. After the Love incident, the idea of him being in her house... she let's out a breath. But after the Leviathan fight, she's not even sure what state the beach is IN and she's not going to HIS house. She'll be on her turf and she escaped before, she can escape again if she must.]

Hey, Usagi. I figured I would ask how you are and if you are free right now.

Hmm? Ah, I'm always free for you, Mina-chan! [Even if she wasn't. As for how she's doing... Well, February and early March have been... something.]

I can't say I enjoyed the jungle all that much or... before that. But otherwise, I'm good.

[After Korra finishes the bowl, Maul is ecstatic with how it's turned out. It looks just like what he was picturing in his head. He carefully wraps it up, takes it over to Usagi's house, and leaves it on the kitchen table where he knows she'll find it. (He still hasn't learned that breaking and entering is something he really needs to stop doing with the people he loves.) There's a note written in his blocky, large, childish script on top.]

A token of appreciation and affection from me for all that you have done for me. I hope you will enjoy it very much and I am glad to see you have made it through another year of being here! ~Maul

Hey, Usagi, so if you're getting this.

I'm gone. I probably went to the sea and turned into a squid.

Or maybe I stopped existing. I dunno, but wherever I end up it probably won't be great.

I wanted to say though you were a great friend and always really kind to me when you didn't need to be...

If I ever had a mother I would've wanted her to be like you.

Take care of yourself, Usagi. I left a stuffed bear with Ruby to give to you. I don't really have much else other than....see ya.

-Glitch

Usagi,

If you're getting this now it means I'm likely already gone. Things haven't felt right since--- [ Since the fight with Maul. John's been left with a lot of soul-searching and a lot more questions. Never mind the tug and pull of the waves out there. ]Doesn't matter now.

You've always had a big heart. Done your best to be there for everyone. For me too. I want you to know that it meant a lot what you said before. It's hard for me to admit it about what people---what a person like me deserves in the long run but I'm trying to do better at it. I want to believe those things. That I can be the kind of person that deserves more. A mutual friend said maybe I've got to look to what others think that is for me first instead of only throwing myself down that rabbit hole first.

I don't think where that leads is here anymore. Funny old life.

I know I can't talk you out of running yourself ragged taking care of all the others but I am asking you to put yourself a little higher on the list of your own priorities. Strange as it is coming from me of all people: you deserve that.

On a brighter note, I'm no good at baking desserts or anything but I'm a fair hand at enchanting things. So the plate you dropped biscuits off for me in should appear around the same time as this. If you don't feel like making something for yourself, just ask what you'd like and it should be able to manage it so long as it's not too complicated. It's the least I could do.

You're a bright spark, don't lose that here.
