Am I the only one to have received a gift from home lately, or is this a common occurrence?

I GOT A DAMNED BOAT!

[HEEEELL YEAH]

[video]

[trueempress]

Congratulations.

[video]

[hellburner]

You seem to have missed the magnitude of this announcement.


I have a ship.

[video]

[trueempress]

I really could not care less.

[video]

[hellburner]

You're no fun at all.

[video]

[trueempress]

What a surprise.

[needsteaplz]

Actually I received recently. It's the manuscript my father was working on until he disappeared. I've been wanting to finish this since forever.

[video]

[trueempress]

What is it about?

[video]

[needsteaplz]

It's a compilation of folklore my father collected from all the regions in my home country. Some of it needs to be translated from an older form of the language but I've been trying to finish those up.

[trueempress]

It might be useful in a place like this as well as entertaining.

[caliberill]

I haven't gotten anything - don't think there's anything I really can back from home, to be honest.

[trueempress]

I have very few things of use in a world without proper magic, and little of nostalgic value.

[caliberill]

What's that leave, then? The necklace? [He makes a gesture.]

[trueempress]

It's a Rudol gem. Normally it provides defensive qualities, but more importantly, Sephiran bought one for me.

[caliberill]

[He tilts his head a little.] A good friend, then?

[trueempress]

My most loyal helper. And the one who raised me.

[caliberill]

Sounds like a a great person, then. [A nod.]

What'd you mean by defensive qualities, if you mind me asking?

[trueempress]

He is. I trust him more than anyone else.

Magic.

[caliberill]

That's good. It's always nice to have people like that.

[He pauses at that, the click hinted at in his eyes.] -Oh. Got it.

[trueempress]

I would wish him here, but I would not inflict captivity on anyone else.

[caliberill]

[A nod.] I get where you're coming from. I feel the same way about someone back home.

You've got us. And one day you'll get back home. Don't worry too much about it.

[trueempress]

I will try not to.

[caliberill]

In the meantime, if you ever want to do something to get your mind off of other things, I'm here.

[trueempress]

And I am grateful, Nathan.

[caliberill]

No problem, Sanaki.

I'll catch you around?

[trueempress]

I believe you will. Take care. [Click.]

I received a letter from my little brother!

[ Holding up a letter which the writing appears to be in all Russian ]

[She doesn't recognize it, but she has no reason to believe it's anything but what the woman says.]

That must be a comfort.

[Ryu holds up a flute! He looks pretty happy about it.]

I got the Wind Flute. ... I don't know why, but I think it's neat.

[Video]

[trueempress]

Do you play it at all?

[Video]

[amnesiadragon]

Uh... I don't think so. Nina's the one who played it last time... it's one of the royal treasures of Windia. But I'd like to learn!

[Video]

[trueempress]

I'm not very skilled at the flute, but I'm sure someone in Prospero must be able to teach you.

[Video]

[amnesiadragon]

Probably. I wonder if Nate or Albedo or Gaignun know how to play the flute...

Re: [Video]

[trueempress]

You can always ask.

[doudemoe]

Seems to be happening everywhere.

[While he, meanwhile, has received nothing.]

[trueempress]

May I hear of your gift?
