Hi, it's Palamedes. Do you still want to learn about necromancy?

voice

[viciousabyss]

[Texting is still hard, so have a voice note at 2 in the morning.]

Oh, hey Pal. Yeah, of course I do.

[megatheorem]

[Oh, okay, he can do voice. At 2am. Sure. Ignoring that he too is awake-]

Alright, well, now I have to ask what a good time is for you, considering the hour. Not a morning person?

[wormkin]

Badoop! Eli gets a voice message from his local worm boi. If played, Eli can hear a familiar squirming hum in the background as Cas' voice filters in:

"Ah. Hello? Friend Eli? This is the voice of Cassius. If you are not busy, I would like to request your care, please."

It is followed by a single emote: 🪱

voice; un viciousabyss

[viciousabyss]

Eli smiles at the worm emoji, though he's slightly concerned for his friend, since he referenced a need for care.

"Hey, Cas. I'm not busy- what's up? What kind of care do you need?"

[wormkin]

There's a slight pause as Cassius tries to find the best way to word it.

"I am in need of something removed from my shell, if possible. I am currently in my room, if you are available now? Please bring something sharp with you when you come."

[ Eli has a package at his place when he comes home one day, medium in size. Within and on the top is a scarf; beneath is a set of sketchpads and a few art supplies, from inks and paints to a bit of charcoal.

A note lingers at the bottom: ]

I had a feeling you might be running out of supplies and we can't have that.
I hope to see some of your work at Hugo's gallery. If you haven't spoken with him at length, you should.
You work is more than worthy to be seen by everyone.

awww- thanks for the gift mel, that's really sweet of you

i've submitted a couple pieces, so hopefully they'll go up at some point. we chatted a bit when i pierced his ear for him, but he does seem interesting and we have some stuff in common so i'd like to get to know him more.

my gifts are still being bought in a frenzy... gods i am spending SO much money but it's fun and you're on my list

Delivered on December 25th

[queenofkur]

[ For Christmas, Eli receives a book titled:

"Afterlife in the World's Cultures"

There is a letter with it. ]

Dear Eli,

I have remembered our discussion about the afterlife, and you being resigned to a less than enviable fate after death doesn't sit well with me. This book explores various afterlives where sins are not the sole factor determinating your destination. It is important you understand your soul has great value, and that you do not accept death as a bad end. At the very least, I shall not stand for it.

Merry Christmas!
Ereshkigal, Goddess of Death and Queen of Kûr

[viciousabyss]

[In response, a book is deliviered to Ereshkigal.]

Hey Ereshkigal,

What a name. Can I call you Eresh or something? Anyway, thank you for the book and your sentiment, it's really sweet. I'm not super bothered by the idea of where my soul ends up- with any luck, it's a long way off anyway, given that elves lives for centuries and I'm still only in my 40's or so. But with the life I lead, sometimes it feels like it's a much shorter matter of time. I get myself into a lot of perilous situations, so it's nice to know that some gods will treat my filthy sinner soul with more mercy, including you, if you have any say in it.

Speaking of filthy sinners, uh, I don't read a lot and I don't know you well so I wasn't sure what kind of book to get you in return. I got you my friend Northly's book, which is romance/smut, but it's pretty good. I'm writing one of my own like it too. She works at a sex shop and she's really cool, I recommend meeting her if you haven't yet.

Anyway. We should meet for real soon. Happy holidays or whatever

Eli

Hello again. I hope you’ve been well. Are you free?

[viciousabyss]

[Well hello there. If this is a booty call, he's in.]

[exaltruistic]

I feel like I'm asking this quite a bit recently, but: are you busy?

Re: text.

[viciousabyss]

[Does stalking the monster that was once his boyfriend count as "busy"?]

[ Later in the month, shortly after Karteria has calmed down, Atsuhide sends Eli a message. Attached is an address to his and Ko's new apartment in Water's Edge. ]

Hey. I'm cooking tonight. Come over. Ko's not around, but he will be in a little while.

[viciousabyss]

[What.]

what.

delivery.

[exaltruistic]

( Delivery time; there's a little note on a small bundle of cookies, tastefully decorated with silvery sugar and red and black icing.

The note says: )

Eli,

This is something of a tradition where I come from. I hardly ever make chocolates or sweets for others on this holiday, and only receive them, so I hope the gesture speaks where my pride will not let me.

Faithfully,

Ko

[viciousabyss]

hey, thanks for the cookies. i like the colours.

you're cute.

Action

[northling]

[Shortly after a certain conversation on the anonymous post, Northly drops by Eli's home, wearing the lovely dress he gifted her and looking more alert and together than she has in... months. She wants smooching!!]
