RIKO-SAN.

[S-sorry, she doesn't realize she's shouting, but! SHE DOES SEEM EXCITED ABOUT SOMETHING?]

it's because i'm lazy but i'll make it pretty soon...probably, laughs

[oceanaria]

D-Dia-san?!

[ A familiar voice in her head is welcome even if it catches her completely off guard. And even if it's so loud. So loud that she forgets to point it out. ]

Did something happen...?

shhhhhh

[idolpedia]

Did you know there are other idols here?!

[Dia is going to kill Riko before this is over with.]

[oceanaria]

[ Ah, she's still shouting. Should Riko tell her—there's no point. This is about idols. ]

Other idols? Really? Could it be that they're kidnapping the idols who are aiming for Love Live...?

[ That's...definitely an interesting hypothesis. Even if it's totally buu buu desu wa. ]

[idolpedia]

I don't think so. Eva-san and his idol unit are already debuted. They have lengthy amounts of experience over us.

[Though.....it's exciting!]

Riko-san, do you think this means that other could possibly turn up?

Sunsu

[stripartist]

[Yusuke actually didn't draw Riko anything! He instead went back to the art supply store he spent most of his credits in and bought a set of colored pencils and a pad, as well as a small trunk to store them in for Riko. He doesn't bother hiding his identity, but he does sign the card as "Yusuke Kitagawa (your secret Santa)".]

[oceanaria]

Y-Yusuke-san?

[ Will she ever get used to this form of communication and why not. Her voice is a bit shaky, but Riko will shape up in a while. ]

Thank you so much for the gift! I'd like to give you something too, if you don't mind.

voice;

[stripartist]

You don't have to, Riko-san! I was happy to buy you a gift for Christmas.

voice;

[oceanaria]

I insist. There must be something that you'd like to get.

voice;

[stripartist]

More art supplies--I can never have enough, and I did get a trunk to keep them in when we return to the island--if you insist?

special delivery!

[mysterybone]

[ In front of the door to her room in their apartment, Riko will find a little box that has a neatly written card saying "Love, DEATH CHRONOS (Mio Yamanobe)". It's a little box of chocolate and vanilla cookies. She may have spotted him busy in the kitchen at some point making them. They're shaped like bats and coffins and crosses because he's edgy like that. But they should taste alright! He worked really hard on them at least! If she doesn't like them, he'll just have to curse her. ]

action!

[oceanaria]

[ Sometime later, Riko will knock at the door to Mio's room. She has eaten some of the cookies, but there are still some of them left, so why shouldn't she share them with him? Besides...she has something for him, too. ]

H-Hello? May I come in?

[mysterybone]

[ He's not expecting anyone at his door, so he's a little suspicious when he opens it. It even shows in his expression. Though it does soften up a little once he realizes who it is. It's just one of his roommates, and she's not that bad either. So it's fine. ]

Yes, I suppose you can enter. [ He moves out of the way and opens the door up. ] Come in!

[oceanaria]

Thank you for the gift, Death Chronos-san. [ It sounds ridiculous, but she's going to play along today. ] I was wondering...do you still accept sunsu offerings?

[ She might be going overboard when it comes to playing along, by the way. ]

[mysterybone]

Hm. You're welcome. It's the least I could do. [ Really, he was lonely. But he's pleased that she's playing along.

Even if it's overboard... he's pleased by the effort. And curious about this "offering"! ]

Yes, I suppose I do.

[sopherias]

[ Riko will find some gifts from Sophie left at the front door of her apartment...

...

It's the romance book Riko was staring at in the book store and a second book that has a cover illustration by the same artist!

Simple knit book cover included, except in the color pink. A note with Sophie's shaky handwriting is included: "Thank you for teaching me how to read. -Sophie" Don't worry... she didn't read the romance books. They're too difficult. ]

[oceanaria]

[ SOPHIE...thank god. You don't need to take after Riko.

As for the knit book cover, she hasn't seen anything like it before, but she finds it cute! She's definitely going to use it on the other book because the cover illustration is quite...telling. ]

[ moshi moshi ruby desu ]

Um... Riko-san? Are you there?

( voice )

[oceanaria]

[ new phone who dis ]

Y-Yes. I am. Is something the matter?

[ Will she ever get used to hearing voices in her head and why no. ]

( voice )

[pigii]

It's Ruby! And nothing's the matter... Really?

[ just in case riko couldn't tell! she needs to make sure about these kinds of things. ]

Everyone looks like they're getting ready to celebrate the new year. I don't really know how dates work here, but Sis' birthday is on New Year's Day back home. Did you know?

( voice )

[oceanaria]

Is that true? I had no idea...

[ To think they haven't had this casual when is your birthday talk with all members... ]

Are you planning something? I'd love to help you, Ruby-chan.

voice

[heartholder]

Riko-chan... Are you free to stop by? I was hoping we could talk about something.

[ the usual pep to chika's voice is suspiciously absent. ]

[oceanaria]

Sure. I think I could use some company...in ten minutes?

[ Riko's voice is much, much softer than usual. So many things have happened lately, it's difficult to process them all. ]

[heartholder]

Do you want to meet somewhere, or would you rather come over to my apartment? One of my roommates, Madoka, is... she was one of the chosen twelve.

I think I'd rather get some fresh air, if that's all right. The park is nearby.

[oceanaria]

Let's go out.

[ Riko gives her response immediately, not really feeling like staying here. This is the place where the questioning took place. If they only knew it was just the beginning.

When Chika mentions Madoka, she shuts her eyes, trying to remain calm. The name was there when she saw the list, but she hoped that it might not have been that sweet girl she had met once. It was just wishful thinking, though. ]

I'll be waiting in front of the building, okay?
