[Well, this is troubling to say the least. He has already an inking of an idea that Diva knows but Akechi also finds himself alone...again...]
She's gone. I've looked everywhere for her.
She's gone. I've looked everywhere for her.
Have you found someone yet
A delicate pink box is left for Diva, her name written neatly on the tag in script. Once opened, the inside contains a deck of cards and four chocolate chip cookies. There is a card inside that when opened, will sprinkle the reader with pink confetti and, in the same handwriting as the tag reads:
Diva,
I hope you're well! Please enjoy the cookies and cards. Cookies make any day a little sweeter and everyone can find something fun to do with cards!
Take Care,
Elle Woods
[Oh. Well. She wasn't expecting this. Cookies are always a welcome surprise though! She's already almost finished off the box when she texts Elle back.]
hi elle
thanks for the cookies
theyre really tasty

[He sends this a little late in the evening. There's a faintly playful lilt to his voice, even if he's not actually looking as playful as he sounds...]
Pardon me, my lady, but I wish to request an audience, at your leisure~
Pardon me, my lady, but I wish to request an audience, at your leisure~
[Oho his lady, huh? She's all for that playful tone. What he could want though she hasn't a clue - unless this is some kind of booty call? Which she's fine with as well.]
I'm free now if you are.
I'm free now if you are.
I'm sure you will be pleased to know that I will be coming back to the Up in a few days.
[ On the 25th there's be a carefully wrapped present left for Diva on the doorstep. When she opens it she'll find a light blue scarf with a D at one end surrounded by darker blue roses. ]
[Well. She certainly wasn't expecting any gifts but she's delighted by the scarf when she opens the present, happily rubbing her face all over the scarf.]
persephone thank you for the scarf
i really really love it
its perfect

[As promised, Claudia is over not long following their conversation...though for vampiric standards, it does seem as if she may have taken her time. When Claudia arrives at Diva's cottage, it may be more clear why: balanced on a glass stand she carries a cake that she picked up fresh from a shop along the way. It's not her style at all--she'd rather have chosen something much more elegant and lovely, but...this was for Diva. And she's decided the best gift she can give her friend is to make her feel truly seen.]
Merry Christmas, Diva.
[She'll slip inside right away to place the cake down on a counter in the kitchen, and from there take another gift out of one of her coat pockets. In a little box that she felt was ideal for Diva, a set of bracelets can be found.]
I hope this year's gift is to your liking.

[Everything Claudia has brought over and provided her with gets her smiling, cheery for the first time she's been all day. The cake is met with a sound of delight as Claudia sets it down in the kitchen for later. That's fine though - Diva' far more focused on the gifts she's being offered in pretty wrapping then she is stuffing her face just yet.
Gingerly she takes the box, opening it carefully, squealing softly at the sight of the matching, paired bracelets.]
Oh Claudia...they're so pretty...thank you!
[A moment later she's clinging to the other woman.]
They match though...are they supposed to be shared?

[Riddle was just on his way out to leave after meeting with Diva for lunch at her place. Of course, he... didn't have any plans after this for a reason, but he was feeling a touch nervous.
Maybe a bit more than a touch.
But, he draws in a breath, and says,]
Actually, um... I was wondering if...
[It's like the words are being dragged out of him as a telling blush blooms on his face.]
If you'd like me to stay a little longer, and maybe, um...
..g..go to your... room?

[She had been expecting their little afternoon tea to end the same way it always did - with Riddle getting up to leave and that being the end of it. Her day would continue on and she'd either spend it bored and alone or wandering the Up looking for some sort of entertainment.
The fact that he doesn't leave has her stunned, eyes wide as he more or less propositions her. Was he really...?]

[As promised, Riddle arrives at 6 in the evening sharp, his timing as impeccable as always.
In one hand is a small green hedgehog, sniffing all the new smells as Riddle's other hand comes up to knock at the door.]

[He arrives with perfect timing, as Diva has come to expect of him, and she's joyed to see him when she opens the door to his knock.
The little creature in his hands gets her to coo with delight, clearly joyed at the sight of it as she welcomes them both in.]
Hi Riddle! Hello little one!

Miss Diva;
I wondered if I might have a moment of your time. The matter is not urgent. Let me know a time and location that suits.

[Backdated a few days because I forgot oops]
Good morning, my sweet. I need to apologise - I know I should have been at the club yesterday.
Astarion! I was wondering where you were...are you all right?
[ There is a medium-sized black box with crimson ribbon. Attached is a lighter red note with a single name to suggest where it's from: Nathaniel. Inside is a half-dozen black cupcakes with red sprinkles. The smell is sugar and cake, mostly, but there's an unusual undercurrent. When opened, dark red liquid comes out. Blood. When ingested, the blood, which is both in the frosting and a filling of the cupcake, will have a kick. Nathaniel's blood. No other context is included. ]
[When she gets the little present she opens it eagerly, eyes wide at the smell of the cupcake. It's obvious whose blood it is without the nametag, even if she's never sampled it before, but there isn't much hesitation either when she shoves the treat into her mouth. It's good. Later she sends him a message.]
hey thanks for the treat
it was really good
very tasty!

[Whether she sees Diva at Fangtasy first or visits her at her home, Claudia will be delivering a smallish box wrapped in high quality paper. Inside is a hair piece of a distinctly bridal fashion, outfitted in what are clearly only the most expensive of pearls and diamonds. She explains:]
I may not ever consider Tsurugi to be worthy of you, but...you have chosen him, and so I have decided to accept this.
[Since he got her a ring and everything...]
You will be a bride beautiful beyond imagination.

Thank you very much for the chocolates.
