impheired: i'm making a list of people that i don't want to be let in to my funeral. (talk ♚ so just in case i die tonight)

Eh, libraries are...okay I guess. Not really my thing but I don't hate 'em. Reading just puts me to fucking sleep half the time. Usually if I went to places like arcades or theme parks or whatever, it's because my little sister dragged me there.

[He...yeah, he doesn't have a lot of interests. He's actually a grandpa, despite appearances.]

And for weapons...it's probably not what you're thinking. Japan's got really strict weapon policies.

[He's just going to leave it at that because otherwise he's going to end up looking even more shady...]

impheired: on me 'cause i got an abrasive personality and am a lil ugly, but that's ok 'cause those are my best qualities. (happy ♚ no one ever has a crush)

......

[Ugh...arcade cabinets though. He's still not exactly crazy about those, given what happened the last time he played one. But...it's Mabel. And if he lets it bother him forever, that's like letting Monokuma win.]

[And, frankly, fuck that bear.]


Yeah, I guess I could be talked into that. I'm not as much as a gamer as some of my classmates, but I can enjoy the occasional shooter.
impheired: mouse traps and brownies on my porch? (unsure ♚ just wondering. did you put)

[personal profile] impheired 2016-08-15 09:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Ow! Don't stamp your clawed little feets on his shoulder?? That kinda hurts!]

Right now?? Are you sure that's a good idea? [He quirks a brow.] Can you even play arcade games with those hands of yours?
impheired: but my heart is pure and the love i give is real. (happy ♚ i'm flawed like a motherfucker)

[personal profile] impheired 2016-08-22 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[He lifts a hand and rubs along the curve of her beak.]

Another time. Once you get that bug out of you and you go back to normal.
impheired: me look like im always in a bad mood, which is convenient because it’s usually true (neutral ♚ my neutral expression makes)

delivery; 08/31

[Hopefully Mabel is in her room at the shack on the afternoon of her birthday. Because at around 1:00 or so, there's a sharp rapping on the window. If she goes to investigate, she'll find a large, black crow perched flapping outside the window. Thanks to all her visits to Castle Mirai, she may recognize the bird as a member of the "Tanaka Kingdom". Apparently Gundam taught his birds how to do deliveries? Or at least his crow. Crows are pretty smart.]

[Clutched in its talons is a small white box, tied shut with a bright pink ribbon. メーベル is written on the outside of the package in thin, upright, almost stiff-looking characters. Consider this your first Japanese lesson, Mabel. That's your name.]

[So, what will you do, birdbrain?]
impheired: that it was completely okay for me to lose all sense of my morals because it was my birthday. (talk ♚ i kept telling myself all night)

[personal profile] impheired 2016-09-07 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[The crow lands on the windowsill with a soft caw, then looks expectantly at Mabel. Okay, he gave you the thing. So...you give him seed now, right? You should definitely give him some seeds, fellow bird. Seems he's opting to rest and get payment before heading back off to the castle.]

[As for the box...! Before she even opens it, Mabel will probably notice that it jingles faintly when it moves. Once she opens the lid, the first thing she'll see is a bright pink card with an ornate, gold glitter-covered design on the front. The card is just big enough that it fits perfectly inside the box, covering up the actual present itself. More of the same neat, upright lettering can be found inside the card, though thankfully this time in whatever magical language they use in Ryslig.]


Mabel,

I guess this means you decided not to go the party route this year. And that's fine, but if you expected me not to send you something either way, then you're a real birdbrain. Because whether Dipper's here or not, today's still your birthday and that means it's still a special day. And you deserve a reminder of that.

Before you get to the present though, I want to give you some words of advice. Since you're entering your teen years now, somehow it just seems appropriate. Bear with me though, since I'm not the best at this kinda stuff. The next few years aren't gonna be the easiest. Magical and monstrous adventures aside, you're gonna face a lot as a teenager. And I know you're feeling kind of worried and anxious about it. Most people do, it's just a natural part of growing up. But you're gonna be fine. You're a strong girl and luckily, you don't have to face the teen year problems by yourself. You've got a great brother. And even if he's not here right now, he's still with you in a way. A bond like what the two of you have doesn't just go away or break because of physical distance. Don't forget that.

Happy birthday, little sis.

-Hiko


[Underneath the card is a layer of what looks like a bunch of brightly colored ribbons, folded up neatly. What's up with those?]

impheired: to make a catapult to spread my grandpa's cremated remains. i love my family. (happy ♚ my cousins just decided)

[Ugh, he just knows she really likes glitter, okay! Don't look into it too much...]

[When she pulls the ribbons out of the box, it should be immediately obvious what they are. All of them have a colorful hairclip attached to one end, multiple ribbons streaming from the same clip. Though the ribbons on each clip vary a little in width and texture, they're all color coordinated. And there's a lot of variety, clearly so Mabel can mix and match her hair ribbons depending on her mood. Lots of them have fun little beads on them: stars, hearts, cute little animal faces, flowers...all the things a little girl would love. Some have silver or gold bells tied to the end. And some are a little less loud, featuring ribbons made of gauze and fabric roses.]

[But still, there's more in the box. Because once she's pulled all the ribbons out, she'll notice that there's still a little space at the bottom of the box. There's bright yellow tissue paper covering whatever it is, though. And, whatever it is, it must be very light because the box never weighed much to begin with.]
impheired: it has your blood all over it, but i am at a funeral home and they are using embalming fluid to get the stains out. (happy ♚ p.s. i wore your shirt today.)

[personal profile] impheired 2016-09-07 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh my god, Mabel, it's just tissue paper! You don't need to be THAT careful with it, jeez. Especially since it's just laying on top of the mystery gift. This was probably a safeguard against card glitter.]

[Because what's under the tissue paper is a pretty stark contrast to the rest of the gift. There's no bright colors, no bells, no glitter, or fun shapes. It's a black silk neckerchief, with a little dipper constellation embroidered in shining silver thread. Becoming a teenager means transitioning from childhood to adulthood. So it seemed appropriate to give her something with a more grown-up feel to it in addition to something fun and bright and colorful.]
impheired: there are no repercussions for my actions. (sassy ♚ apparently i have decided)

[personal profile] impheired 2016-09-07 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh, right. Three tags ago, the crow definitely started eating the seeds that Mabel gave her. That was totally a thing that was mentioned and katar definitely did not get so caught up in the present that it went unmentioned. The crow is still happily eating that seed snack. Once all the seeds are gone, though, there's a rustling of feathers as the crow stretches out, caws at Mabel and then takes off. Bye, bird friend. Gotta go back home now. Thank for seed snack.]

[Is he ready for internet punches though? Who knows. Guess she'll have to punch him and find out!]
impheired: of jails. i got introduced to our criminal system the right way. (blush ♚ it was like the ritz carlton)

<NineHeaded>

[personal profile] impheired 2016-09-10 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[Wow that's not much of a punch!]

[Apparently Fuyuhiko WAS ready for it, at least. Because while there is a bit of a delay before he responds, it's not too long of one. Like maybe he was nearby but just had to think about a response.]


nah, birthday presents are just what any decent person would do, right? especially a brother.
but you're welcome, all the same.


[He's glad she liked it...]
impheired: better when people don’t know what you’re up to. (talk ♚ i realized that life is so much)

<NineHeaded>

[personal profile] impheired 2016-09-10 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
well there's an errand i have to go run in bavan. but other than that, no.
why?


[Spoilers: it's not an errand at all, it's the second part of Mabel's birthday surprise.]
Edited 2016-09-10 16:31 (UTC)
impheired: then we'll see how good of a firefighter he is. (smirk ♚ i'll set him on fire for you.)

<NineHeaded>

[personal profile] impheired 2016-09-10 04:37 pm (UTC)(link)

[personal profile] impheired 2016-09-10 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
the usual place.
i'll be there as quick as i can.

[Since not all of us can fly. At least his travel form drastically cuts down on the time it takes to get to Bavan. He's a very fast lil doggie.]
