[What's wrong, sinner? Wish to communicate with Gundam via telepathic amulet or messenger bird or even in person? Then come on over here and specify the format!]
[ Or a messenger something, as the flying creature that comes to Gundam wherever he might be around noon looks - and smells - rather... fishy, a red string around one of their legs that seems to knot into a ball. They won't hang around after depositing the letter in their mouth with Gundam, unless he tempts them with his animal-loving ways. ... like speaking about food because it will open its mouth agape for any food.
And promptly spit it out if Gundam can't guess its diet right before flying off. (It will accept worms)
But that leaves the envelope it brings, two letters and a few fist-sized petals from the memory trees, images already imprinted on them to be played. Should Gundam look at them, wyverns of a variety of sizes will be seens, as well as a few oversized worms. ]
Hi, this is Red, the pokémon trainer with the jolteon you met when you were out with your partners. I went on a trip down to Shaarnath (it's a city the Arehtei Thras watches over that survives on the planet) with another trainer to check out the animals they have and some other things too.
The reason I'm telling you this and writing to you now is because I remembered the fun talk we had about animals, and I thought you would be interested in what animals they have down there too. The petals show the wyverns and the wurms I met so you can see them for yourself, but I got to talk a lot to the tamers, and I wrote a lot of notes about how they take care of them. You can meet them and talk to them yourself one day, and maybe we can see them together too! I'd like to see what you think of them.
But right now, I figured you're still getting your head around being here after coming from where you were. I know you have friends here too. Sonia, Hinata, and Komaeda are good people, and I've heard about the kind of world you come from too. That's not my business, but if you ever want to talk about animals more or see any, you can contact me any time. I can show you some of the partners I've made here in Empatheias.
Take care. Tell Fearsome Four I said hi.
Red
[ On the second letter are notes about the wyverns and wurms, about their usual behaviours, how they're groomed, and how they're taken care of and bonded with, with mentions of dunamis cropping up often. There is a note there about dunamis on one part-- I know about animal charming with dunamis if you want to practice together sometime ]
[Oh, Gundam is impressed by that fascinating creature! He unfortunately did not have any worms on him, and his attempt to offer a treat was rejected. Regardless, he fills out his own response, to be delivered by his new relatively very ordinary raven.]
It seems that you acquaint yourself with a wide variety of interesting creatures. It is true that I have not yet been to Sharnaath, although your notes sound similar to what I would guess about some creatures.
However, I must tell you that my head is already fully in this situation! I am fully prepared to spend some time here. Well, I suppose that my power level is still adjusting to the dimensional difference. But despite that, I am fully prepared to both speak of and meet a variety of beasts!
We will meet again, at an hour of my choosing and mine alone.
-Supreme Overlord of Ice, Gundam Tanaka
PS: The dark devas of destruction also send their regards.
Since your arrival, I find myself missing the constant companionship of the Dark Devas. I am happy that they have you once more nonetheless. Almost as much as they, I suppose. However, I am considering finding an animal for companionship while I am here as well. I've also asked Cilan-san to join me, as he is also a very dear person to me whose opinion I respect. Besides, I would like to introduce the two of you sooner, rather than later.
If you would be amenable to this, I would like to go tomorrow, as I have a party planned for Saturday. If you're unable to come, I would understand as well.
I have no choice but to apologize to you. I did not mean to take such loyal companions from you. But it seems that they wish to atone for lost time. I am sure that the Dark Devas would love to spend time with you whenever you may wish, but I do see the value in helping you to obtain your own familiar.
There is no set appointment in the devil's planner. So let tomorrow be the day that I join you in this task!
May You Find Safety in the Darkness, Gundam Tanaka
[After the trip with Gundam and Cilan to find a new pet, Sonia buried herself in more tasks so that she could figure out what to do, how to approach the situation. Even though Nagito was sure that she would be able to reach their classmate regarding their predictament, she still has her doubts.
However, with Hinata away, she must make the inroads herself. She knows that Nanami and Nagito support her, but this is definitely something she has to do.
With a slight hesitation, she reaches through the crystal to contact him.]
Tanaka-san, are you free? I would like to talk to you about something important and it should be done in person.
[It's not longer than a minute before he responds.]
Sonia. [He says her name bluntly, yet hints of warm feeling leak through the communication.]
Kehehe... Your timing is fortuitous. I have just finished dispensing the dark devas' earthly nourishment. While they feast, there is time to spare for an audience. Now, tell me the location of this fated appointment!
[ BRNG BRNG, HUM HUM, IT'S A MIND AMULET. NO LETTER THIS TIME, just a bunch of excited feelings and a cheery voice coming through! ]
Gundam! Cilan and me want you and the Dark Devas to come see us have a pokémon battle sometime! We can get to know about the creatures in our worlds more-- and oh yeah! You can have a trainer battle with Jolteon against Cilan or me for the real experience yourself! What do you say!?
[ Now the temperatures of the desert city Shaarnath were cooling with the ending day, the coming night. Hanging lamps had begun to be lit upon the streets, sparked by a dunamis that would help to keep them ablaze through most of the night on more than just fuel, for the weather was unpredictable at all times, and it was in those little areas that too much care wasn't nonsense, never wasteful of what any Shaarnathian could do with a snap of their fingers.
It made the city sparkle behind them to catch, a little picturesque against sandy stone and the flourish of greenery hanging wherever there was room, but the section Red had led them to was as farm-like in dirty trails, questionable smells and perhaps the more familiar of locations in the city below than any other, where the wyverns and wurms were cared for. True, that familiarity was what made Red bring them to the area, but not out of comfort -- he wanted somewhere private, where people were less likely to mingle and come to meet themselves, only caretakers and those about to begin their shifts for outside patrols to be seen moving about in their own tasks if one were to search between the small buildings, and scarcely so.
There was nowhere really to sit nor rest due to this, but the now empty pen kept for the younger wyverns seemed to be where Red decided stop them, hands patting on the woodwork as he looked in, then turned to face Gundam, the older guy he'd ask to come out for him for a while here, without much of an explanation why at the time. Now with more privacy, Red doesn't make him wait any longer. ]
When we went to look for Piphron, I asked you if you wanted to know what I've heard about your world and your classmates. Do you?
[ Whether this spot was fine for conversation, or even farther from the buildings, or in mind, or not a discussion Gundam wanted to have at all -- Red would find out now. ]
[Gundam had quietly and swiftly followed Red, doing his best impersonation of a wraith. The whole time, Gundam wondered about the purpose of meeting. Had Red put together an alchemy circle that Gundam was needed to power? Was there a new beast to tame? Or maybe, just maybe... Had Red uncovered a hellmouth?
Each possibility was filled with its own personal excitements, but Gundam bade his time as Red led them onwards. And then finally, in the wyvern pen, his intentions became clear.
Gundam now became tenser and folded his arms, with a chill starting to invade the air around him, because he could see where this was going. He realized that he probably should have expected this topic, now that he recalled that past conversation. And it only made sense... part of the reason he had decided to spend so much of this month in Shaarnath was to try to come to terms with everything that he had learned about himself and despair.
He glances around quickly to ensure that the pen is empty, and then he finally speaks.]
...You may tell me what you know. [Maybe now he can find out if there's some misunderstanding, because he still can't grasp why Red would still want to befriend him if he knows the truth about him.]
[On that day the nameless prophet had foretold, Gundam will find a small wrapped present (in purple and black) with a small bowl holding some incense sitting on top of it. Inside the present, Tanaka will find a figure carved from wood and a note.
"Happy Birthday, Tanaka the Forbidden One! I hope this gift suits you. Snakes, or nagas in my culture are natural protectors of water like rivers and springs. They can also bring life or death. As long as you take good care of this charm, you'll be blessed by their protection. I wouldn't recommend trying to cross one, they have connections to the underworld.
From the Dragonfather.
P.S. Denying others from celebrating their birthdays is not in Naga's favor."]
[ on the day spoken as the birthday of the forbidden one, rayfa spares some time to visit the address mentioned on the announcement. she knocks, and impatiently waits for somebody to answer the door. ]
I am the Queen of Khura'in, Rayfa Padma Khura'in. Answer the door at once.
[The name sticks out to Gundam... He recalls it from the broadcast of the Dragonfather. She will be greeted by his laughter echoing from within the house.]
Fuhahahaha! So the Daughter of Dragons herself has decided to grace this demon's hall... How interesting!
[The door will then swing open mysteriously, with no one at the other side... well, actually there's a hamster on the doorknob that turned it. The living room is filled with a variety of small animals, and amongst all that is Tanaka, seated on an armchair as if it were a throne.]
It seems kind of normal for a dark being, but hey. She stayed in a hospital and claimed to jokingly be a ghost because she liked hanging out on the cemetery. Now she has a house. Things change.
She'll rap on the door, raising her voice.]
The humble spirit which spoke to your servant wishes to meet the Forbidden One on the day that darkness was born! She's come with her two beasts.
[Yes, the dark one's... fairly mundane abode. Once she announces herself at the door, laughter soon echoes from within.]
Fuhahahaha! So the time has come, just as my all-seeing eye foretold.
Very well! Enter if you are dare, a den of pure madness!
[And she brought her beasts... excellent! The door then opens, seemingly by itself. ...But then a hamster can be seen scurrying away from the doorknob. The living room is like a miniature zoo, with at least one sample of most of the varieties of relatively small creatures from throughout Verens wandering about. And, sitting in an armchair overseeing this all as if it were an iron throne is known other than Tanaka himself, with several hamsters perched on his shoulders. As much as he tries to look composed, he also leans forward as she enters, heavily anticipating the coming of the beasts.]
[On the 14th, Thereth will leave an "offering" for Gundam of an excellently-drawn painting of a badass hamster in a simple but nice frame. Happy birthday!!]
[ For one, Gundam definitely got a birthday present from Red as well as going round his that time. ALRIGHT.
For Christmas, Red has gifted him... - pumpkin and salty sesame cookies! There's also a container of roasted seeds because heck yeah, red likes those too. - A box that inside, contains a cylinder with holes in it and a bell somewhere in the middle. There's a few different variety of straps that can be adjusted, as well as one that would go on a human wrist. They're used for animal companions; put the straps on the animal you partner while syncing them to your own via your own emotion signature, and if the animal is in distressed, a pang will come through the strap. It works to let a creature know if Gundam is in distress too, and will also let him know when they're happy--not that he would need help to know that, but that's the design!!
The bell box is for an indoor alarm, for when one is asleep but their creature is distressed. - Food and toys for Sonia's pets, and also a variety of seeds for the hamsters. - Also bird seed, in case the crow he's used in the past is with him. - A card!!
Tanaka,
I don't know if you celebrate this time of year like most do, but I got gifts for you and your companions anyway! The straps you can put on your partners so you know how they are over a big distance. I use them for friends I have in the wild. They won't work over the distance between the surface world and Empatheias, but I thought you might be like me and have some friends out there you want to keep an eye on but don't have the room to live with you.
[These gifts come to the hall of the Forbidden One just as Tanaka was finishing the preparations on his own gifts to send out.
Soon, he sends his bird with a box and a card itself.
The box includes: -a few tins with some favored treats of the Pokemon that Tanaka is aware of, plus some cookies for Red himself -a number of very comfy quilts for both Red and his Pokemon -a handmade bestiary, which is filled with sketches and notes of various mythical/legendary/fictional creatures that Tanaka is aware of. -also a beginners book on witchcraft. -a set of black scarves and gloves, the gloves bearing Pokeball symbol. -And finally a card.]
Red,
The boons that you bestowed upon me were quite well-chosen. You have proven once again that your taste and your instincts far surpass the majority of humanity. You are quite good at pleasing Tanaka the Forbidden One, and so I grant you several boons of my own, to use as you will.
May you continue to hold every beast dearly in your heart.
[ a small package arrives at gundam's doorstep. in the parcel is a dragon plushie. attached is a letter, which reads: ]
Zebra Head,
While in Khura'in, Christmas is not a tradition we celebrate, I still wished to give something to my esteemed acquaintances. You must let me know once you have spoken to Braid Head, as well.
[ Well, it's Christmas. That means Operation Secret Santa is go!
There's a small package, carefully wrapped in red-and-green wrapping paper. Attached to it is a card that reads as follows: ]
Merry Christmas, Gundam! I hope you have a great one!
-Your Secret Santa
[ Inside the box is what appears to be an adorable, life-size hamster toy, sitting on a soft white blanket. It's wearing a (removable) red winter coat, and there appears to be a wind-up mechanism installed in its back. When wound up, the critter walks forward! Well, about as well as it can with those stubby little legs, but while it may be slow, it's well-balanced and won't fall over any time soon.
He couldn't get you a real cute animal, Gundam, but Astro did his best! ]
[Gundam will be getting a red rose with a black ribbon wrapped around it. There is also a box of heart-shaped chocolates and a small bag of hamster treats. The card reads:]
Can't hide it from me it's too plain to see, you've got a big heart I knew it from the start.
[A strong feeling of defensive anger surges through the connection.]
It is impossible! This trial is a farce... Those celestial birds should not be capable of deception. But if there is one person who is incapable of doing something so wicked, it is Yukizome-sensei! Her innocence shall be proven to be absolute!
[ weiss arrives late for work, not even knowing that her employer has disappeared. she looks absolutely frazzled, and the giant raincloud pouring over her head isn't helping her at all. ]
I'm sorry I'm late, Kirigiri! It's just— It's been a day.
[There's definitely someone sitting at Kirigiri's desk, but the chair is dramatically turned away. A pale hand reaches out to stroke at the chin of Makoto the bird, and a male voice soon answers her.]
What is a single day compared to the timelessness of infinity?
You are not the first person I think about if I have to write to someone, but I am writing to you now because I wish to promote writing letters again. Isn't it such a wonderful feeling to receive one? I hope you understand where I'm coming from.
In any case, I wish for you to know that I'll be starting my own business soon. Don't be worried, because I still intend to fulfil my duties at the agency as long as I am needed. If this causes conflict, then please let me know right away so I can try to come up with a solution.
If you wish to respond, please don't send your hamsters to my home with the letter. Use a mailman.
[In the middle of the night, a raven pecks at Weiss's window incessantly until she opens up. It then throws a letter at her and flies away into the night.]
To The Mortal Novice Junior Apprentice Detective from the Clan of Schnee,
The following is the word of Tanaka. First of all, know that I shall absolutely refuse to deal with human mailmen. It is also an insult to think that I would burden the Dark Devas of Destruction with such a task. My word shall be delivered through bird!
Unfortunately, I feel nothing special from receiving your letter. There were no spells or enchantments infused into the paper, so I found it rather uninteresting. I will take note of your word about your duties. It is good that you will not be sidetracked from your duties. Pursue your business at your leisure! It is of no concern to me.
[It's not long before Gundma responds. Most of the time he tries to make his mental voice sound more demonic, but now - perhaps because it's Red, perhaps because of his tone, or perhaps because of both - his mental voice sounds much like his normal speaking voice right now.]
These demon beasts have begun their nightly journey to the realm of dreams. My work here is done...
When suddenly a pink envelope is delivered! Inside is stationary paper with rather large text:
Hello Lord Gundam!
How are you today? I'm well and hope that you are too. Oh! This is Michelle by the way. I am pretty sure that Pilouette's birthday is coming up on the 9th so I am planning to throw a surprise party and would like to invite you to help surprise her!
Can you be free in the afternoon? I'm sure she would love it if you were there. I look forward to your reply either way.
A return letter soon comes in a dark envelope, sealed by a sticker bearing an image of a magic circle.
To Princess Michelle of the Pumpkins,
Expect my coming when the crow caws three times.
With dark tidings, The Overseer of the Unending Garden of Purgatory, The Warlock, The Hell-Fiend, He Who Was Born of a Demon and Angel, A Living Nightmare, A Shapeless Insanity, Shepherd of Demon Beasts, The Supreme Overlord of Ice, Gundam Tanaka!
Yes. If you wish to carry this out firsthand, you have my permission to come to my domain. I will inform my sentries not to destroy you upon your approach!
[ A bird comes bearing a present that seems to be wrapped in animal-based paper. If he opens it, he'll find a plush rabbit along with a bag handmade treats for his hamsters.
Along with that is a card with this symbol on it and inside it is written: ]
Tanaka,
Merry Christmas. I wasn't entirely sure what to get you this year, but hopefully this will do. Let me know if the Devas don't like the treats and I'll owe you one, alright? If you don't like the gift though, just let me know and I'll definitely make it up to you.
[ On the day of Gundam's birthday, a bird flies over to him, bringing him an animal printed gifbag that's filled with goodies! Inside there's a personal sign made by Sonia and a pair of edgelord gloves. There's also a neatly written note tucked inside the giftbag. ]
Happy Birthday, Tanaka-san!
Today is the day that marks the reckoning of your birth! I truly feel blessed to have met you. Thank you so much for everything that you've done for me. I appreciate it. I hope your birthday is filled with evil and all the darkness in the word!!
[ On the day of Christmas day, a bird flies over to Gundam, bringing him a neatly wrapped present dressed up in hamster paper. Inside there's a necklace and a hand-knitted purple scarf with grey hamster patterns all over it. Along with those gifts for him, she also made a costume for the Devas and there's also some sunflower seeds for them to munch on. Inside, there's a note tucked in with his presents. ]
Merry Christmas, Tanaka-san! May you have the grandest, darkest holiday.
... Except he baked them, and decorated them to look like the the Devas, and they're also really really yummy! Plus a small bag of sunflower seeds for the hammies.
A plain card.]
Merry Christmas, if dark lords celebrate that. Antoine D'Coolette.

Date: 2016-12-14 01:16 pm (UTC)Fuhahahaha! So the Daughter of Dragons herself has decided to grace this demon's hall... How interesting!
[The door will then swing open mysteriously, with no one at the other side... well, actually there's a hamster on the doorknob that turned it. The living room is filled with a variety of small animals, and amongst all that is Tanaka, seated on an armchair as if it were a throne.]
Welcome to a den of pure nightmares!

It seems kind of normal for a dark being, but hey. She stayed in a hospital and claimed to jokingly be a ghost because she liked hanging out on the cemetery. Now she has a house. Things change.
She'll rap on the door, raising her voice.]
The humble spirit which spoke to your servant wishes to meet the Forbidden One on the day that darkness was born! She's come with her two beasts.
it's all good!!
Date: 2016-12-17 02:11 pm (UTC)Fuhahahaha! So the time has come, just as my all-seeing eye foretold.
Very well! Enter if you are dare, a den of pure madness!
[And she brought her beasts... excellent! The door then opens, seemingly by itself. ...But then a hamster can be seen scurrying away from the doorknob. The living room is like a miniature zoo, with at least one sample of most of the varieties of relatively small creatures from throughout Verens wandering about. And, sitting in an armchair overseeing this all as if it were an iron throne is known other than Tanaka himself, with several hamsters perched on his shoulders. As much as he tries to look composed, he also leans forward as she enters, heavily anticipating the coming of the beasts.]

Date: 2016-12-28 02:18 pm (UTC)around christmas!!
Date: 2016-12-25 08:04 am (UTC)For Christmas, Red has gifted him...
- pumpkin and salty sesame cookies! There's also a container of roasted seeds because heck yeah, red likes those too.
- A box that inside, contains a cylinder with holes in it and a bell somewhere in the middle. There's a few different variety of straps that can be adjusted, as well as one that would go on a human wrist. They're used for animal companions; put the straps on the animal you partner while syncing them to your own via your own emotion signature, and if the animal is in distressed, a pang will come through the strap. It works to let a creature know if Gundam is in distress too, and will also let him know when they're happy--not that he would need help to know that, but that's the design!!
The bell box is for an indoor alarm, for when one is asleep but their creature is distressed.
- Food and toys for Sonia's pets, and also a variety of seeds for the hamsters.
- Also bird seed, in case the crow he's used in the past is with him.
- A card!!
Tanaka,
I don't know if you celebrate this time of year like most do, but I got gifts for you and your companions anyway! The straps you can put on your partners so you know how they are over a big distance. I use them for friends I have in the wild. They won't work over the distance between the surface world and Empatheias, but I thought you might be like me and have some friends out there you want to keep an eye on but don't have the room to live with you.
Have a good time!
Red ]

Date: 2016-12-28 02:32 pm (UTC)Soon, he sends his bird with a box and a card itself.
The box includes:
-a few tins with some favored treats of the Pokemon that Tanaka is aware of, plus some cookies for Red himself
-a number of very comfy quilts for both Red and his Pokemon
-a handmade bestiary, which is filled with sketches and notes of various mythical/legendary/fictional creatures that Tanaka is aware of.
-also a beginners book on witchcraft.
-a set of black scarves and gloves, the gloves bearing Pokeball symbol.
-And finally a card.]
Red,
The boons that you bestowed upon me were quite well-chosen. You have proven once again that your taste and your instincts far surpass the majority of humanity. You are quite good at pleasing Tanaka the Forbidden One, and so I grant you several boons of my own, to use as you will.
May you continue to hold every beast dearly in your heart.
It is appreciated.
-The Forbidden One.
and then i gave all your characters a present... smh
Date: 2016-12-25 05:25 pm (UTC)Zebra Head,
While in Khura'in, Christmas is not a tradition we celebrate, I still wished to give something to my esteemed acquaintances. You must let me know once you have spoken to Braid Head, as well.
Truly yours,
Rayfa Padma Khura'in

Date: 2016-12-26 09:30 pm (UTC)There's a small package, carefully wrapped in red-and-green wrapping paper. Attached to it is a card that reads as follows: ]
Merry Christmas, Gundam! I hope you have a great one!
-Your Secret Santa
[ Inside the box is what appears to be an adorable, life-size hamster toy, sitting on a soft white blanket. It's wearing a (removable) red winter coat, and there appears to be a wind-up mechanism installed in its back. When wound up, the critter walks forward! Well, about as well as it can with those stubby little legs, but while it may be slow, it's well-balanced and won't fall over any time soon.
He couldn't get you a real cute animal, Gundam, but Astro did his best! ]

Date: 2016-12-28 02:33 pm (UTC)And he leaves a small note on a bulletin board expressing that The Forbidden One was pleased by the offering provided by his secretive Santa.]

Date: 2017-03-15 10:39 pm (UTC)Hino's crows just named Yukizome as a culprit. They're summoning her here, but I think we're on the right track to figuring out who did it.
[He has no idea Gundam knows her, but as a fellow death god and the fact they had a talk before, he feels the other should know.]
Can't believe it's someone I hired...I'm such a fool!
He'll be somewhere in there!
Date: 2017-03-17 02:54 am (UTC)It is impossible! This trial is a farce... Those celestial birds should not be capable of deception. But if there is one person who is incapable of doing something so wicked, it is Yukizome-sensei! Her innocence shall be proven to be absolute!

Date: 2017-06-04 02:38 am (UTC)Gundam,
You are not the first person I think about if I have to write to someone, but I am writing to you now because I wish to promote writing letters again. Isn't it such a wonderful feeling to receive one? I hope you understand where I'm coming from.
In any case, I wish for you to know that I'll be starting my own business soon. Don't be worried, because I still intend to fulfil my duties at the agency as long as I am needed. If this causes conflict, then please let me know right away so I can try to come up with a solution.
If you wish to respond, please don't send your hamsters to my home with the letter. Use a mailman.
Sincerely,
Weiss.

Date: 2017-06-06 09:52 pm (UTC)To The Mortal Novice Junior Apprentice Detective from the Clan of Schnee,
The following is the word of Tanaka. First of all, know that I shall absolutely refuse to deal with human mailmen. It is also an insult to think that I would burden the Dark Devas of Destruction with such a task. My word shall be delivered through bird!
Unfortunately, I feel nothing special from receiving your letter. There were no spells or enchantments infused into the paper, so I found it rather uninteresting. I will take note of your word about your duties. It is good that you will not be sidetracked from your duties. Pursue your business at your leisure! It is of no concern to me.

How are you today? I'm well and hope that you are too. Oh! This is Michelle by the way. I am pretty sure that Pilouette's birthday is coming up on the 9th so I am planning to throw a surprise party and would like to invite you to help surprise her!
Can you be free in the afternoon? I'm sure she would love it if you were there. I look forward to your reply either way.

Tanaka,
Merry Christmas. I wasn't entirely sure what to get you this year, but hopefully this will do. Let me know if the Devas don't like the treats and I'll owe you one, alright? If you don't like the gift though, just let me know and I'll definitely make it up to you.
