Had an x-ray done today. Guess what they found? It was you, safely tucked away in my heart! They said my heart is fine with a friend like you in it. Send this to all the people you love and care for, if you get 5 back no one will break your heart. Xx

[Okay, so Leia isn't exactly a stranger to spam. She knows what to do, which is why she's just about to delete it, but...

Wait, Rock Lee?]

[madhatted]

[ A message pops up in your inbox from an anonymous source. How strange! If you don't delete it immediately, you'll be greeted with an audio message that's quiet, at first. In fact, it's quiet enough that just in time for you to turn it up, it starts to speak. It sounds suspiciously like Xerxes Break if you know him, but at the same time, there's a totally stupid voice being used, since it's not like Break would send this message along. Emily, though? Of course. She's such a gossip. ]

(( ooc note ; break is sending this to literally everyone in the game, so I'm sorry... Feel free to figure out he caused it, since it's not like he's trying that hard to hide it. ))

[ Okay. OKAY CEREALIA, it was cute and fun and funny the first two times, but this time... that voice is just a little too much. It was so much more tolerable when she was just reading it all, and now she's just weirded out; especially the end.

Of course, she doesn't know Break at all, and this would be her first anonymous anything so... ]

H- Hey! Who is this?

[ When the audio message abruptly ends with that laughter, she's left tossing her CereVice onto her couch with a growl. What a waste of time...! ]

Good afternoon,

I am messaging you on behalf of my Master, Rin Tohsaka.
She is planning on a special gift for one of her friends at the Winter Ball, but would like to keep it a secret.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
If you are interested please reply as soon as you are able.

---

{ OOC | rin is trying to organize a group song or two at the winter ball for rock lee's secret santa gift. if this is something you or your character would be interested in doing, there's a plotting document via google docs here that you can throw down some input on. if your character won't be there or you have no interest in it, feel free to ignore this comment. thanks! }

[journaler]

[Leia is all about helping people and making this ball a success, so of course she's going to respond! Duh.]

leia rolando at ur service! i could never ignore a cry for help ( ﾉ^ω^)ﾉﾟ
what does ms tohsaka need, exactly??

Delivery!! 12/22

[ineptus]

[Later in the evening, whether answering a knock on her door (to find no one there) or returning home from wherever she may be, Leia is going to find a garment box wrapped in festive paper with a bow on it and an envelope taped to the top. The envelope reads "To Leia. Do not open until Christmas!" If she opens it now or later, this is what she will find:

In the envelope is a card! It's a fairly generic happy holidays card, though the outside and inside have stickers added. On the inside of the card are some cute little doodles of cats or snowmen or reindeer and a note:

Merry Christmas Leia! You probably don't even know me cuz we didn't talk at the slumber party at all I don't think, but I remember seeing you there and I never forget a face! Because that party was soooooo great, and that's totally because of all the people there, I wanted to thank you guys for going and make sure you're having a good Christmas! So this isn't much, but I filled it with lots of love! I totally think we should talk some time and fix this whole "idk who you are!!" thing going on too!

❤ Mabel!

In the thin garment box is...a stocking? Yes! It's a stocking! It's red with gold trimming and glitter covering it, as well as Leia's name carefully penned in with what looks like glitter fabric paint. Inside this stocking is what you would expect in any stocking. From the toe to the top, it's filled with candy and a variety of smaller items, such as: a simple braided yellow ribbon bracelet with a rainbow of pony beads decorating it, a set of very silly animals stickers with googly eyes on them all and a small black dog plush!

Lining the top are five candy canes, neatly hooked over the edge so they are just peeking out!]

(1/2) reaction;

[journaler]

[It's a small combination of both! Leia's just settling in after a day of work and last minute shopping. She hasn't even had a chance to put away her things when she hears the knock at the door, which leaves her wondering if she was followed... and if so, why. It's nothing quite so dramatic when she answers the door, though; maybe it's just a prank, and she's about to shut it again before she notices the beautifully wrapped box.

...How had she missed that?]

Oh!

[She makes an effort to peer out into the hallway to see if maybe she could still catch the person... but she brings the box inside when the coast seems clear.]

Wow, this must be...

[Her secret santa? She opens the note first, and her smile only widens as she reads it.]

gift; 12/24

[particularity]

[During his Christmas rounds... ie, present distribution rounds, Hinata's found his way to Leia's place, leaving a gift for her. It's wrapped in bright blue paper, with a label on top that reads For Leia, from Hinata.

Inside the package, there're two journals! One is your classic leather journal, while the other is a whiteboard journal, where she can erase it at any time. There's a marker for it included, an eraser, and an erasable pen.

And, a note written on festive paper!: Merry Christmas, Leia. I thought you could put these to use.

...there's also a cute set of tabs she can stick to keep her place.]

text; (1/2)

[journaler]

[Leia admittedly wasn't expecting much present-wise, especially after already receiving one. Maybe, maybe her close friends from home would oblige her, but even then--they're new to this Christmas idea just like she is. Seeing Hinata's package on her way in, though, her eyes light up. Maybe she's got the wrong apartment, she thinks, maybe it's not really for her...?

But she reads the label.

She makes a reserved, but high-pitched elated noise as she brings in the package, and she places it right next to Mabel's.

Tomorrow... she'd really have something to look forward to.]

aaah hinataaa, thank you so much for your present!! (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o))) i saw the package just now after i got home and i'm keepin it safe until tomorrow... ooooh i cant just wait to see what it is!!! ヽ(；▽；)ノ

Christmas Delivery!

[andimfine]

[ To ensure she got this item, this little package will be sitting on Leia's doorstep on Christmas Eve.

Although Apollo doesn't know who Leia is, he still tried his very best to think of the perfect gift! For his other friends, he made homemade cookies, and he isn't the most experienced baker, but he's pretty proud of this batch, so he packed Leia up the best ones he made!

The cookies are in a tin that is packaged with white wrapping paper along with green and red ribbons. Taped to the side is a note. It reads: ]

Leia,

Hello! I'm Apollo Justice, and I'm your Secret Santa. We haven't met yet, so I'm not sure if I got you something you'd like, but I hope you'll enjoy it! Merry Christmas!

text;

[journaler]

[ Leia is doing some last minute gift wrapping for The Big Day. It's not until later, when she sets out to get some fresh air that she sees the package, and like all the others, she reacts with surprise and delight. ]

Oh! Maybe this is the one...!

[ Not that she would hold it against a person for not being able to get a gift for a total stranger... but she's admittedly curious about what someone who doesn't know her would get. She brings the package inside and grins to herself, reading the word "Secret Santa."

Apollo Justice, huh... ]

Just one more day.

[ She excitedly pulls up his name in her Cerevice. ]

hi, apollo! ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ this is leia and i just saw your gift...!
thank you sooooo much!! (＝⌒▽⌒＝) it's so beautifully wrapped that its almost a shame i have to rip it...

i don't think im supposed to open it until tomorrow anyway. but i will totally break that rule if u say i can (｀・ω・´)”

special delivery!

[psycholawgy]

[ On the afternoon of the 24th, a package will be delivered to Leia's doorstep! The box contains a bag carefully wrapped in washi paper. Also it isn't so expensive because Athena isn't that rich okok. With it is a Christmas card. Widget's default blue face is painted on the flap.

The card reads:
Dear Leia,

Happy holidays!

Thank you so much for being a great friend. I'm so glad to have met you. Here's to a brighter year ahead of us!

Love,
Athena ]

text;

[journaler]

[ Leia recognizes Widget almost immediately when she goes to open it. The message warms her heart, even though it's so cold outside, and she's quick to bring in the package and place it with all the others she's received.

Like the others, she's quick to message her with her excitement. ]

yoooou are getting a big hug, and a present tomorrow when we meet up after i open this. count on it ( ˘ ³˘)❤

delivery! - arrives on the 24th

[spyrites]

[ Leia will find a small, neatly wrapped package on her doorstep addressed to her.

When she opens it it'll be a fancy fountain pen in her favorite color and a leather bound notebook. There's also a simple silver bracelet with a few colors gems dangling from the chain. With all of this is a handwritten note. ]

Happy Holidays, Leia. Good luck with your newspaper business. Maybe these will help you to start out.

- Jude

1/2 spends too much time on reaction stuff.png

[journaler]

[ Leia wasn't going to open it. Not yet. She knows the rules, and the rules say to open presents on Christmas lest you be turned into a grinch or something!

Okay, maybe she got that wrong... but either way, that message is entirely too tempting.

She grins and brings the entire package inside with excitement, already tearing into the wrapping without even hesitating. In her eagerness, she lays out the entire contents of the gift on her table, reacting predictably. She's immediately putting on the bracelet and flipping through the notebook, squeeing to herself; but finally, once she's more composed, she darts off to put together her own present for him--because she doesn't feel like she can wait until tomorrow anymore.

It'll be tonight, and she won't even have to go out in the cold. ]

Package (12/24)

[niceguypose]

[As he makes his rounds, Rock Lee eventually reaches Leia's door. He leaves a tiny Christmas tree there, sets a package down beside it, and leaves. The package is wrapped in green wrapping paper which has been bedazzled, and there is a note for her on it.]

"Dear Leia-san,

I am very glad to know you! You are very energetic and you have a strong fighting spirit! I wish for the best for you and hope that you enjoy this holiday season!

In the Springtime of Our Youth,
Konoha's Beautiful Green Wild Beast, Rock Lee"

[Enclosed in the present are some training weights, a green headband, a friendship bracelet and a framed photo of Gai-Sensei.]

text; (late that night)

[journaler]

lee!!! is this a picture of an older you? he looks so... so happy! (*ﾟ◯ﾟ*)

[WHOOPS...she's... opening it! EARLY. Talk about jumping off the slippery slope, after opening Jude's and Apollo's.

Predictably, she is excited.]

delivery (12/24th)

[verified]

[ on the evening of the 24th, leia will find a package wrapped in festive paper and tied with a silver bow. inside, she'll find a healthy cookbook and a box of assorted chocolates.

attached to the package is a small card that simply reads merry christmas, leia! thank you for your help and kindness when i first arrived. i hope you have a peaceful holiday season and i look forward to getting to know you better in the new year. - fuuka ]

text;

[journaler]

[ by now, she's sort of given up the whole "waiting until christmas" thing. christmas eve is close enough, right? it even has christmas in the name!

...anyway. fuuka will definitely get a response later on the evening, after the predictable squeeing that comes from opening her present. first come the images--pictures leia takes that should seem familiar, since they're just pictures of the presents themselves.

the chocolate (before she totally eats one, mmm) and... the cookbook! ]

oh my gosh fuuka im totally cooking something for you now!!! aahhh thank you so much ❤❤

you can bet ill have something for you tomorrow... i hope i see you at the ball! *^*

[psycholawgy]

[ Using Mutsunokami's (newtimes) CereVice, Athena sends a message to Leia. Whether she gets it during the event or not at all (because of the weather) is up to you! ]

I ran into Natalia and she told me about you. I'm fine, so please don't worry about me. I'm stuck at the mall, though! :( My CereVice is dead since there's no power, so I'm borrowing someone else's. You don't have to reply to this, since I'm giving it back to the owner. Stay safe! --Athena

reaction only;

[journaler]

[ Leia is a little late in getting the message, judging on timestamps, but life's hard when you have elves and reindeer chasing after you and such. She sees it when she finally gets a chance to stop and breathe. She's relieved, but it's all the more reason to keep moving.

She will find you, Athena!! ]

(( ooc: probably going to hit up your campsite top-level if that's ok! ))

action; ic: 12/29

[deontology]

[This mall is really starting to get on his nerves.

Sousei huffs as he stomps his way through it (at least he's wearing boots, so the shattered glass and gross wet slush combination doesn't cause him any trouble). He didn't want to get stuck in here, but there's so much happening, and

honestly

if he's

entirely frank--

He's lost.

Lost in the mall, and everything is staring to look the same, and Sousei doesn't even bother to draw his sword; he lifts it, shifts, and slams the sheath into the elf that had been trying to sneak up on him and jump him. He connects neatly with a pressure point, and the creature is down for the count.

And Sousei pauses.

Where was the exit again.........]

action;

[journaler]

And stay down!!

[In the distance, Leia's got her own elfy problems to deal with. Though she'd been outnumbered, her staff, combined with her artes, are great at keeping them all at a distance while she takes them down. Not that it makes things any easier, of course--fighting alone still leaves her quite out of breath--but at least she can get by.

Swinging her staff like a baseball bat, the last of the elves pursuing her (so far) goes flying into the wall with a nasty thud.

She sighs and nearly collapses, but steadies herself as she meanders in Sousei's direction.]

Jeez... I don't know how much more of that I have in me.

[But no, she can't think like that! She shakes her head, continuously glancing behind her--because seriously, they've been down for the count before and got right back up.

Then, of course, she nearly walks right into Sousei.]

voicemail; date: 1/1

[cardboard_journalism]

...Hello? Leia? Myriam Scuttlebutt here.

My... source, Athena Cykes told me there's going to be a little sort of get-together at Phoenix Wright's apartment. ...You know where that is? It's... [and then she'd list a spot]

Anyway... I know its been a crazy past couple of days, but I think it'd be a good time to relax, promote the upcoming paper and maybe find a scoop or two. And, I was told I could invite someone, so...

We're gonna launch the paper real soon! If you're working on any articles, get back to me. Especially about the past couple of days. Sss, sss, sss.

[end message]

return call;

[journaler]

[Leia's kept herself busy since everything went south. She's only too eager to continue her work at the arcade, and now she's got articles to look forward to writing every night when she gets home, too! It's easy to lose herself in everything, especially since she's a healer who can take care of her own injuries... but even she has her limits.

Her notes are still a jumbled bias mess. She frequently dozes off when she tries to transcribe everything into something more readable and coherent... but still, she can't let the Cerealia Times down. When she gets her message around midday, she'll immediately respond as she steps back into her apartment.]

Myriam! I'm so glad you're safe.

I guess that cardboard box helped a lot, huh...? [A teasing, playful tone.]

voicemail; date: 1/6

[cardboard_journalism]

[Scuttlebutt's voice was extremely excited and animated as she left a voicemail]

Leia?? There's people!! New people arrived here at Cerealia! This is a HUGE opportunity! I'm going to print an Extra issue of the Cerealia Times tonight! We've got to get out there and start collecting information right away! Also, if you've got any scoops you've been holding back, now's a good time to let me know! The faster we react, the better we get our message out!

--uh, this is Scuttlebutt, by-the-way! Sss, sss, sss!

[click]

[journaler]

[...Oh, Myriam. She'd recognize that voice anywhere by now. She absolutely LOVES that enthusiasm. At some point, she'll get her on a call.]

The network sure has been active, huh? I don't know that the newbies would be very cooperative as far as interviews go... but I think I can manage something.

[You can practically see the way she waves her hand across the sky, like she's reading off a new headline bathed in lights. She grins.]

"First Impressions: Adjusting to the Cerealian Life Style!"

[shacklebreaker]

Congratulations on the newspaper publication. A pity your partner is so fond of idle gossip instead of informative journalism, but I suppose there will always be a market for tabloids.

[...Apparently he can't resist any opportunity to bash Scuttlebutt, even outside the courtroom.]

But that wasn't what I wanted to discuss. Have you ever played ViViD?

[journaler]

[Ah! He's looking so much better... Leia is glad to here from him, and the comments are met with sheepish laughter. Myriam's not a bad girl, really.]

Don't be so hard on her. We'll balance it out somehow.

[Admittedly it felt Strange being the only one to write a serious article about the events of the snowpocalypse... BUT STILL. The past is in the past, etc. The first issue was a success, and now they have more to work on for the future.]

That being said, of course I've played! Why do you ask?

audio;

[cardboard_journalism]

Leia? Myriam Scuttlebutt here!

Listen, you know Nonon? She does the music column? Well, there's an in-door water park, and she invited me to it on the 16th. She said I could invite someone too, so would you like to go? Sss, sss, sss!

You'll need a bathing suit, but that's about it. Might be a nice way to relax before the next edition!

By the way, about the next edition... [her tone got more serious] I threw up a survey about the paper. Did you see it? There's still replies streaming in, but there's one very clear answer that's coming in, near-universal from every responder.

People want more criticism of the CERES corp in our newspaper.

So, whatever articles you're putting together this week, see if you can connect them to the CERES corp in whatever way you can. If you're interviewing a business, ask the business about their interactions with the CERES corp-- things like that. Of course, if you've got any ideas, I'd like to hear them too!

Hope to hear back from you soon!

audio; 1/17 [after the MURDER]

[cardboard_journalism]

Leia?? Myriam Scuttlebutt here! We've got to meet! In person! About the huge scoop that's happened! So that we can get an extra edition printed ASAP!

[SO MUCH EXCITEMENT]

LET'S TALK ABOUT MURDERS

[journaler]

[The excitement finally starts to set in after Leia's talked to their New Ruler. Even though the crime scene still haunts her, she'd expect no less than the same from Myriam. So much excitement indeed.]

Myriam, wherever you are, I'm there!

[...]

So, where are you?

audio; [1/23]

[cardboard_journalism]

It had been a rough week. Most of it had consisted of hiding from real and imagined bogey men. B-but it was almost paper day...]

H-hello? Leia? ...Are you all right? It's Scuttlebutt... Kahk kahk kahk.

Things are still kinda crazy I know, but if you have an article this week let me know so I can... y'know... put it in the... news-printing-thing.

...Sorry, I'm kinda frazzled, as you can tell. Kaaaahk.

Hope you're okay...

Call me back!

audio;

[journaler]

[Leia actually listens to the message a couple times. It's nice to hear Myriam sounding so human, admittedly--but then she never really had her doubts that beneath the box was just an ordinary excited teenage girl, just like her.

Even if she is frazzled, the message means she's alright, and that means a lot now.]

Hey! I'm working on it as we speak.

[...]

I hope you're okay, too. Need some company?

action; (1/28)

[rebelia]

[IV walks along the fountains in the gardens, minding his distance to the aquatic life form. It's quiet, hence his coming down here for a brief respite, away from the bustling metropolis of Cerealia. Peace, however, doesn't last; when he looks up, he spots a familiar figure engaging in a boggling activity.]

Leia? What are you doing?

[journaler]

["Boggling activity," he thinks. But what if it was his favorite card...?!

There's nothing too boggling about Leia reaching desperately (but hesitantly) towards the water, and it definitely wasn't her fault she dropped her best pink heart pen into it in the first place. Now she's startled again, hearing her name, and she yanks her hand away as she turns. She gasps when she sees IV; and only the sudden snap from the water manages to break her attention from him. A particularly large alien fish had lunged out of the water, narrowly missing Leia's fingers when it snapped its jaws for a meal.

She takes a step back without even thinking, and turns back to him again.]

IV! ...They've got my pen!
