(( Phone // (Morning) // Unfiltered ))

Good morning, everyone. [[she sounds hesitant and somewhat uncomfortable. it seems she is uncertain about making this call.]]

... It is Christmas today, correct? I hope it is wonderful, and that you all received nice presents from Santa Claus!

( action because I can!!!! )

Good morning, Nia! Merry Christmas! [ he seems to have taken this whole "get droned for three weeks, finally wake up yesterday" thing in good stride. He even seems to have managed to buy presents in time for today! ]

[spiraldoll]

Oh, Dia. Good morning! Merry Christmas to you as well. [[she smiles. she's happy that dia is back to his old self again, and not droned. actually droned. not fake droned.

droning in mayfield is now a little more complicated...]]

[pokeay]

[ yeah, it's probably good for Dia's brain that he wasn't around for that... ]

Have you opened any of your presents yet...?

[spiraldoll]

No, not yet.

Have you opened yours?

[ ... oh. Well, this is.. awkward, considering Nadeko remembers what happened last time they met and she feels so awkward and guilty and.. she doesn't even dare to speak into the phone, really.

So instead there's some dead air on the other side as she holds the phone up to her ear, but doesn't dare to start speaking. ]

[spiraldoll]

[[she just keeps talking out into the void.]]

I have not opened my gift yet, but I did look in my stocking! There were candies in it, and a small stuffed grapehippo! It looks very funny.

[[a pause.]] I should just say it, I suppose. I am hurt, a little, by what has happened. But... I do not think I can blame anyone, really. Mayfield is a very... difficult place! And it finds ways to make things very strange.

[imoutosnake]

E-even if it's a difficult place..

[ almost besides herself, Nadeko speaks up - very slowly, and very quietly too, very hesitant as if she's walking through a minefield of sorts. ]

It would still be.. our own fault.

[spiraldoll]

Oh, Nadeko! I did not know you were listening!

[[a beat of silence.]] But, I felt what you felt. I understand what you were feeling. It was... strange. And very unsettling, to look at those people.

You did not put those strange feelings inside yourself willingly, did you?

[noluckduck]

Th--

[Oh, what the hell. It's Christmas, and maybe the girl isn't even really 15.]

... Yeah. I guess I did.

[spiraldoll]

That is good! [[she is totally fifteen. she's just very... well, the term is not in mind at the moment, but she's something.]]

[noluckduck]

[Clover is going to think otherwise for as long as she can, because the thought is just... God.]

What'd you get?

[spiraldoll]

I have not opened my gift yet... I looked at it, but I want to wait, I suppose. I do not know why.

I did look in my stocking, though. I got some candies and a small toy!
