[ you've got mail! namely a giftbox and a card with a small draw and the words 'happy holidays kyouko-chan!! ♥' in cheerful pink script.

inside the box is a christmas apple fruit cake, the biggest she could find :9 ]

[ciao]

[ so this is christmas! and italy wanted to surprise the ladies in the house. at the foot of her bed, kyouko will find a pretty gift box containing this dress. there's also another box atop that one, filled with bite-size pieces of these treats ]

25th... phonecall

[fortissimos]

'Sort of weird'? What's that all about?

[ she's actually not offended in the slightest she just likes being annoying ]

[phantasmata]

Huh? Uh...

[She hadn't expected to get called out on her note.] It's only that I've never met a magical girl like you!

[fortissimos]

But what's so weird about that? I'm a warrior of justice, just like Mami-san!

[ Sayaka you are the exact opposite of Mami in every single way especially class ]

[phantasmata]

Well...there's all that weird marriage stuff. And Mami-senpai's a lot different.

[fortissimos]

What's wrong about wanting to marry a cute girl?!

[phantasmata]

[Well, you're a girl, is the first response that comes to mind, but what she says instead is a little gentler:]

Shouldn't you get to know people before proposing?

[fortissimos]

... Well, duh. What kind of person do you think I am?

I'd at least wait a few weeks before actually proposing.

[phantasmata]

A few weeks isn't long enough either!

[fortissimos]

A month?! [ GENUINE QUESTION HERE ]

[phantasmata]

Wha—no! Is that really how you do it? My father said he didn't propose to my mother for an entire year.

[fortissimos]

Hey, taking it slow is fine too. There's nothing wrong with that.

But there are a lot of cute girls here, you know? I don't have time to wait that long! [ Sayaka you can't marry all of them calm down ]

[phantasmata]

You can't marry everyone. Have you tried asking for a date first?

[fortissimos]

I guess...

Do you wanna go on a date, then? [ Sayaka. ]

1/3

[phantasmata]

Huh? Wha—don't ask me!

2/3

[phantasmata]

I-I didn't mean it like that!

[phantasmata]

[sigh.]

I just meant you should get to know someone before you talked about marriage.

[fortissimos]

Yeah, yeah. I know what you're trying to say.

But don't worry! Magical girl Sayaka-chan is sworn to protect the heart of every maiden, so I'd never rush into things!

[phantasmata]

I can't ever tell if you're taking anything seriously...

[fortissimos]

I take everything seriously!

[phantasmata]

Somehow, I don't believe that.

[fortissimos]

I guess you just need to get to know me better. [ wow someone's a fuckin smooth operator today ]

[phantasmata]

I don't know what you mean by that. [she knows.]

...Did you like the gift I got you?

[fortissimos]

Yep! Who doesn't like pocky, huh?

... But if you want yours, you've gotta come get it in person. You can't just sneak out of the house like that! [ wtf it's not sneaking ]

[phantasmata]

Eh? I didn't sneak out! I just left early. You're the one who slept in late.

[fortissimos]

Don't focus so much on the details!

[phantasmata]

[...]

That's more like the truth, Sayaka-san. Where are you, anyway?

[fortissimos]

I was out running. Even magical girls have to stay fit, right?

But I'm going home now. [ ... ] Meet me there?

[phantasmata]

I was at the market, but okay. I'll be home soon.

[fortissimos]

[ Madoka got a dragon, but Kyouko? When she walks through the door, the first thing Sayaka does is throw a package at her, containing what is clearly the coolest hoodie in the neighbourhood. (If only she was dealing with the older Kyouko.) ]

Ta-dah! Pretty awesome, right?

[phantasmata]

[If only, because older Kyouko would find it pretty awesome.

That said, the package hits this Kyouko in the face as soon as she walks in.]

—Oomph! What was that for?

[It takes her a second to realize it's a gift, but once she does, she sits down on the floor to unwrap it. The hoodie is unfolded, and she spends a moment turning it this way and that.

It isn't her style (yet), but it is cool, and red is her favorite color, so:]

Ah—thank you, Sayaka-san! This is pretty cool!

[She tugs off the hoodie she's currently wearing to put the new one on. It's a little long in the sleeves, but she'll grow into it.]

[fortissimos]

Ahaha, good! We're magical girls, so we've got an image to maintain!

[ An image that Sayaka ruins by existing... but details. She strikes a pose in celebration, then vanishes for a moment, coming back with one of the boxes of pocky Kyouko got her. ]

I didn't get a chance to eat these earlier. You wanna share?

[phantasmata]

An image, huh...

[She tries to imagine Mami wearing something like this, and snorts.

Naturally, she is down for sharing candy of any kind, but...] Are you sure? It's your gift.

[fortissimos]

[ She smirks. ]

Yeah, I'm sure. I was gonna share half of it with Madoka, but... [ ... yeah no that probably would have been awkward after the last two weeks. ] I guess that means we can split the whole box.

[phantasmata]

[Awkward indeed. Not that Kyouko knows about that.] Okay. I'd like that.

[windbrat]

hi kyoko-chan! i hope you had an enjoyable holiday full of candy! maybe kisses?

either way, i'm sure it was sweet, and here's something to help make things sweeter. ♥

[ the letter comes with a bag of homemade chocolates--they look rather... questionable and lumpy. but they're suprisingly tasty. ]

[chinchinpurin]

[ it's a little package and inside is a macaron inside a tiny plastic tub to keep it fresh. There's a note attatched! ]

The Landlord said to send these out, so here you go! If you don't want to eat it though, I don't blame you. Macarons are cute though, aren't they?

-Kazumi

[rosebow]

mailbox;

[freshly]

[Love's left her a tightly-wrapped yellow macaron, accompanied by a notecard cutely decorated with tiny hearts and star patters:

]

Kyouko,

It's been a while, hasn't it? Keep your chin up!

I think you like sweet things--these are kind of weird but they're almost too pretty to eat!

Don't worry about what Sayaka says, okay? You should come over for dinner sometime, too!
