backdated to midnight, murder night

[rosescape]

[ She opens her eyes just as a crack resounds through the room. Eyes wide, she looks towards the table and, in the pale moonlight, sees clearly what has happened here.

Her marbles, left there as she usually does, have shattered -- two of them in clear pieces. Two...?

One of her remaining marble rises, glowing red. Anna blinks, then turns her head towards the living room. Without a single sound, not looking at Kaoru, she runs out of their shared room and into the living room, where the midnight broadcast has started. ]

[queenofminiskirts]

[Kaoru was usually a heavy sleeper especially when she dreamt. So she didn't wake up from the crack. It was luck (or maybe not luck as Kaoru's instincts when it came to the people in her life always has been good) that she woke up in time to hear the sound of Anna running out of the room. She sat up groggily.]

Anna-chan?

[She sat up, and followed after her sister after a moment, not even noticing anything else inside the room.

...wait. Why was the TV on? She felt a little uneasy though she couldn't pinpoint why.]

[rosescape]

[ Anna doesn't stop, doesn't turn. Her head and eyes focused on the television as the broadcast comes on. She tenses a little as the first gory scene appears, almost shivering, but doesn't flinch otherwise. ]

...Kaoru. [ Her voice comes out soft, self-controlled, levelled. ] Don't look.

[queenofminiskirts]

[The warning came a bit too late and Kaoru was watching the first gory scene first without more sleepy confusion than anything until it really sets in that even though she doesn't know that first man, she had seen his name in passing when browsing her contacts list.

She sucked in a breath as she realized with sinking horror that this might be real and her hands balled into fists beside her.

Kaoru was no stranger to death and murder, or at least she thought so with the amount of criminals they dealt with and all those murder cases Shiho helped with. She was wrong clearly, because she'd never seen anything like this and it made her feel sick.

It wasn't so much a matter of not wanting to look away so much as being unable to at this point. ]

Wh-what is...who would--?

gift! (Dec 25th)

[thirdbeauty]

[Carefully boxed and wrapped, a small package arrives for Kaoru labeled "To: Kaoru, From: Natsuru".

Inside is a modestly framed photo of Natsuru from the Halloween ball, printed on nice quality glossy paper and everything! She's in the ball gown from Rio's shop, obviously, and the image looks perfectly posed. Natsuru standing near a wall, glancing down at the floor, with her hands demurely folded palms-down over her skirt.

It wasn't posed for, actually. Robert caught her in a candid photo at just the right moment. But if anyone can appreciate a photo of Natsuru in a gorgeous ball gown, not to mention showing off some cleavage, it's probably Kaoru. Natsuru had the extra copies and couldn't think of a better gift for the younger girl (without embarrassing herself looking at magazines), so this is what she settled on.]

and another gift! (Dec 24th, evening)

[virtualgirl]

[A small cube-shaped item wrapped in retro video game themed paper arrives, labeled "To: Kaoru, From: Chiaki".

The cube turns out to be a tin of gold coin shaped candies, from that beloved video game series everyone knows! No matter what genre she likes, Kaoru has probably come across these mysterious boxes of gold coins at least once before.]

[A small and not particularly well-wrapped present in her mailbox.

Inside, there's a bracelet and a note.]

Thank you for everything. I really appreciated it.

Merry Christmas.

mailbox

[adoringdaddy]

[ There's a little box with a little thing in her mailbox. There is also a note written in a not too good handwriting. ]

Hello, Miss Kaoru. I hope that you are doing well.

I'm not quite sure what this little thing is, but I hope that you will like it, none the less.

Wellwishes, Badr.

[protectthecastle]

[Inside her mailbox is a small box and an envelope. This is Veronica's way of hoping that something sweet will prevent Kaoru from eating any of those macarons because they are honestly suspicious.

The note is written in a neat cursive.]

Dearest Kaoru,

I hope this finds you well and it is to your liking.

Sincerely,
Veronica.

I know it is very short notice, but the Perseid meteor shower will be peaking tomorrow night. We will be meeting up at 8pm near the old hospital, if you would like to come.

(Please bring a cushion or pillow, because I was not able to find enough of them. Oh, and if you would like to bring a friend as well, I am sure it will be fine.)

[Any and all replies will be very late if they come at all because she's making a whole lot of hot chocolate.]

xmas eve, mailbox

[witchplz]

[On Christmas Eve, Kaoru will find a package wrapped in hot pink wrapping paper with a big ol' bow on her doorstep. Inside she will find a cute top, shielded from the elements by tissue paper. But atop that, there's one more little box, a jewelry box with one of these to be specific.

The card reads:
To my fellow cutieteer,
I'm going to get sappy, prepare yourself, here we go-- I'm so glad you, me and V-chan found a burning spark of a connection between us. Because you two have my back, I know I can soar even higher than before. So thank you, for everything. May your holiday be filled with delicious food and fun and laughter, and next year be absolutely fantabulous.
Love,
Rahzel]

[protectthecastle]

[Inside the mailbox, she finds one carefully wrapped present. It contains a necklace and jars of hot chocolate mix, neatly labelled as "peppermint", "vanilla", and "strawberry" along with a card written in Veronica's loopy cursive.]

My dearest Kaoru,
Thank you for all that you have done for me. For being there when I am happy, and when I am not. I pray that every happiness will be yours in time.
Sincerely,
Veronica.

[vintage_magic]

[Kaoru will find a small box of homemade pralines in her mailbox along with handwritten copies of several simple recipes from Lily's collection. The attached note says, "Merry Christmas, from Lily." And added underneath, "Please be careful in the kitchen!"]

mailbox; December 24

[eagleofthe_west]

[Bright and early on Christmas eve, a little green package arrives in her mailbox. Inside are two small bird pins nestled in tissue paper and a note in Eagle's careful printing.]

To Kaoru,
Thank you for everything. I don't think I tell you this enough, but I'm really happy we met.
From Eagle

mailbox; dec. 24

[hisa]

[Hisami's present, neatly wrapped in bright red paper with silver bells, is the first three volumes of a manga featuring magical girls who are on the school's volleyball team by day, and who fight crime at night, and who, of course, deal with normal average teenage girl problems like clothes and boys and all that jazz.

Anyway, the plain card shows who sent them, in tidy handwriting.

Kaoru-chan,

Merry Christmas! I hope you enjoy your holidays!

- Hisami]

mailbox and a text;

[protectthecastle]

[There's a blue rose in her mailbox. Sorry. She wanted to show you hers, but...it was from Robert and she doesn't really want to give it away, so.]

Kaoru! Have you ever seen such a beautiful colour?
