Post by Tomina on Feb 1, 2021 19:56:07 GMT
Once again, Tomina felt like an outsider. She hadn’t really given holidays much thought after her time at the orphanage. Christmas was a big deal every year. The orphanage couldn’t afford to celebrate birthdays, so they put all their funds into a once a year event. Of course, they couldn’t get extravagant gifts. But they got a Christmas tree which she and the other children put ornaments on. Putting up decorations was fun too. And each of them got a present and the best meal they would get that year.
When she became homeless, the days melded together. The only differences were temperature and season, and whether or not she had a part-time job. Now she had people she cared about and a somewhat stable place to stay. And people she cared about, including a lover. So she couldn’t afford to do something extravagant for Valentine's day. Especially since people sent her letters.
Tomina sat at her kitchen table, opened letters and gifts next to her. She wasn’t going to be able to give much in the way of gifts, given her income. But she could at least respond with letters and chocolate. She hated the lack of variety in the envelopes and candy she picked out, but beggars couldn’t be choosers. She looked at the envelope Atsuko had sent her, looking at the art on it. A slight smile crossed her lips. It certainly wasn't a conventional design for valentine's, but it was badass. She then got to work writing letters. She first responded to the people that had sent her letters.
“Dear Atsuko.
The fact that I got a gift for Valentine's day is enough in itself. I can’t promise I’ll wear these things all the time: it’d suck if someone blasted them to pieces in a fight. I haven’t known you for very long either. I know nothing about being a good sister. It doesn’t seem like a sisterly thing to send chocolates and a letter on Valentine’s day. Thank god Rumia is smitten with you. Otherwise, this would probably come off as me hitting on you.
I also hope we have many years of fun times coming our way. It’s honestly been a blast, living with you. I’m glad I found ya sis. Thanks to you I’m getting stronger and feel like I belong somewhere. Chocolates and a letter seem too little to repay all that. But it’s a start at least. Happy Valentine’s day!
P.S. Don’t show this to Rumia. I don’t want to give that perverted deity any more ammo to tease me with."
Tomina put on the shades and got up, going over to the a mirror in the bathroom. She smirked at the sight of her reflection. Damn, they really did make her look badass. She then went back to the kitchen and back to writing letters.

Next Tomina wrote a letter for Ayami. She had been a little confused by the envelope the inventor had said. The girl was a bonafide genius who made inventions at the rate of a meth head in a hardware store. So what was she trying to say with that envelop. Well, at any rate she focused on replying to the other elemental user.
“Dear Ayami.
Thanks for the chocolate and the letter. I actually do have someone in my life. Her name is Lucy. We met in prison. I was hungry and trying to pickpocket a well dressed guy for money. How was I supposed to know he was an off-duty cop? But that’s neither here nor there.
Lucy is rough around the edges, even more so than me. She has her demons and has a bit of a temper. But she’s kind deep down. She found me under a bridge after we got out of jail. She gave me a bit of a scolding about how living like that was unacceptable. One thing led to another and we ended up traveling together. And we ended up falling for each other along the way. We’re kindred spirits, in many ways.
Me and Atsuko are doing well together. Well as well as you can living in a house built in the middle of the woods. You’ve been a great friend to me. Introducing me to Aya has been one of the best things to happen to me in awhile. I think I’ll be able to master my fire powers well at this rate. I hope I do: It’s the least I can do to make up for past sins. I owe Tsukihime that much. Say hi to the old woman for me. I’d tell you to share your candy with her, but I can’t imagine chocolate would do much good for her health.
Your friend, Tomina.”

Tomina sighed, rubbing her temples. She then began scribbling something down quickly.
"Dear Rumia.
Please don't read too much into this. I know you're into Atsuko, and I'm not interested in you in that way. I just want to thank you for helping me by giving me that accursed training gear. I hope things between you and my sis go well. Just don't try to get into her pants too hard, you perverted Kai. She's not ready for that sort of thing yet.
Best Wishes, Tomina."

"Dear Hono:
Your fiery nature matches mine. I hope I can live up to being a rival of yours. Honestly, I need to step my game up: everyone is leaving me behind. Yourself included. That was a really great spar we had. I know I flirted with you a little bit, but I was just teasing you. I'm already taken, see. So the chocolates and this letter are from a friend, not a potential lover. Although maybe it could have been if you had met me before Lucy did. From: Tomina."

There was a very special letter and envelope prepared for a special someone. Decorated on the front of it was Vaneera drawn in a very "anime" style. The Vaneera Force were quite popular on Planet Brench, after all. So there was some merchandise of them available. This appeared to be one of those cases.Dear Motet,
I know how much you go out of your way for Valentine's Day. It's one of your favorite times of the year, and I have to admit, days like this are pretty important for everyone. It lets you get your mind off of all of the difficult things you've been dealing with nonstop -- but the less said about work, the better in this case!
Because you've been trying your best, I prepared this letter for you, along with some chocolates! What do you think of the likeness they made of me for the envelope? Seems a little exaggerated, but I don't mind it. I figured you'd appreciate it, even if it seems a bit narcissistic coming from me!
- Love, VaneeraMotet Oratorio

Another letter and another envelope. This design involved the Vaneera Force yet again, although in this case it was the entire Squad gathered in an action pose. The "anime" style was still very present." Dear Vali,
It's hard to imagine a big, stoic guy like you really being into Valentine's Day. But you can consider this a welcoming gift for your stay on Planet Brench. Also yes, that is me and my Squad on the envelope. Don't be surprised if you see more merchandise styled after us; our reputation is a bit weird here.
I also don't know if you like sweets, but I included some chocolates. It is my hope that this letter finds you well, and that this is the beginning of a fruitful business together.

Just one last letter and recipient to tend to. This envelope had yet another decoration of Vaneera on it. "Anime" style as always, though this one was very particular and niche. It was drawn from "POV", with a chess table between herself and the viewer. She appears to have made her move and is patiently waiting for the "viewer" to do the same.To Asynia,
Here's some chocolates for you. If I'm sending them to one representative from Planet Lemuria, then I'll do the same for the other! Just so you know, both myself and my Squad were present for your speech. We were there to ensure that everything went well. We may not agree with your decision to support the Frieza Force, but we showed our intent of good will by keeping things secure.
Additionally, I do not expect anything in return. However, if you should come to see the merits within the Brenchian Loyalists, know that my office is open to you.

The letter features a wax stamp with the Patch Empire's insignia emblazoned on it. The letter itself is a plain white but it's clear that this stamp is VERY important. It's addressed to a certain music loving saiyan from earth..."Dearest Cauri,
I hope that this day finds you well. Admittedly Valentines is celebrated quite oddly on Patch compared to your home. There we treat Valentines as a day of camaraderie, for blood brothers and sisters to spar and share in feasts. However I have been informed that Valentines on Earth is for showing affection in a far softer way. So I believe this is appropriate to give to you, my most trusted friend. I have included chocolates which I painstakingly created myself! I must admit it took several failed attempts before I got the recipe just right, but I do hope you enjoy them.
Yours Always, Sabine."... The letter is marked with a lipstick kiss and includes some chocolates. The chocolates have peanut butter filling!Cauri

I did so enjoy our date the other night even if I may have...Had a little too much to drink. I apologize in advance for anything unbecoming I might have stated. Valentines is quite the important time so I desired to send this to you hoping that it would brighten your day. I've included some chocolates which I made myself. I trust you don't dislike peanut butter? My son also wanted to give you a gift which you'll find inside! Hoping to hear from you soon.
Love, Sabine."Included with the letter are some chocolates which have peanut butter filling, and a crude crayon drawing of Sabine, Nexus, and Kabucha all holding hands under a rainbow.Det. Nexus Proudmoore

I write this letter hoping to find you in high spirits! Today is a day of camaraderie, and though we have yet to fight together on the battlefield I wish for you to know that I consider you a blood brother as such I have included an earth tradition within this letter: Homemade chocolates! My son quite enjoyed getting to meet you the other day, he's already admiring you like an elder brother. I hope it isn't imposing on you but perhaps you could come visit my son some time? He has been asking to see you several times lately.
Yours, Sabine."Included in the letter is a large serving of home made chocolates which are filled with peanut butter!Kosho

Tomina took a deep breath closing her eyes and thinking back to when she met Lucy. A smile crossed her face when she remembered meeting the demon. How they both were unaccepted by others. She almost didn’t know where to begin with the letter. Finally, she opened her eyes, writing down her note to Lucy.
“Dear Lucy.
I’m not a poet, but I’m going to do my best to write like one, cause you’re worth the effort. I love you Lucy. Your skin gleams like the silver moon, your golden eyes shine like the sun. Your white locks flow like the purest water. Your tits are amazing. Yeah, I couldn’t think of anything fancy to say about your boobs. Bite me.
In all seriousness, I don’t know where I’d be if you hadn’t shown up. I was content of living a life of poverty. I accepted my squalor. I thought it was what I deserved for my sins. That life was an attempt at atonement. I thought that I deserved to live a miserable life for what I did at the orphanage. And then you showed up into my life. I honestly thought it was just going to be a one-off conversation at the jail. Then you showed up in my sleeping space and tossed all the money you had at me.
We’re both really stubborn when we decide on something. I wouldn’t accept all that cash. One thing led to another and we ended up traveling together. Even though we’ve had to deal with your inner demons, I haven’t regretted it one bit. I had all but gave up on living. And yet a demon who was struggling with her inner evil decided that my life was worth something. I couldn’t keep living in squalor anymore. I had to keep going on, for you.
Everyone has their darkness, their demons they need to fight. I’ve never told you this before, but that fire I started put my best friend in the ICU. She survived but was horribly burned. Me and her got in an argument over my favorite toy. We both tried grabbing it and she broke it. I was so angry and then the next thing I knew, she was screaming.
That’s why I could accept you. I understood what you were, and still are fighting. I had done something truly terrible. So how could I hate you for your faults? I’ll always be there for you. I’ll guide you like a compass, and support you like a pillar. When your darkness creeps in on you, I’ll use my flames to light the way. I love you Luce, more than anything in this world.
With Love, Tomina."

A golden envelope arrived on Vaneera's desk with the seal of the Yggdrasphere. Typically such envelopes marked something as an important message on a diplomatic level. Technically it WAS in this case, but...It wasn't nearly so vital as a message from the Council themselves."To the esteemed Commander Vaneera.
I received your letter. Admittedly I first believed it to be important information pertaining to my goals here on Brench, however upon reading it I find it is part of this tradition your people call..."Valentines"? I must apologize in advance for such a thing isn't something we on Lemuria typically celebrate. However as a show of good faith I have taken it upon myself to participate in this cultural exchange. Consider this my appreciation for your gift. Your reputation is...Curious. I suppose art of one's leadership is not so alien to us, but I can not say I've ever seen in it such a style.
May Yggrasil guide you always, Diplomat of the Yggdrasphere: Vali.
Additionally, I must request that you inform your assistant that this is in no way a message of romantic intent. As I write this I can feel a deathly glare on my neck and it is quite...Concerning."Included within the letter is a square chocolate made from the highest quality cocoa that one could acquire. The Seal of the Yggdrasphere is carved into it and the chocolate is wrapped in gold foil.Vaneera

Much like with Vaneera, a golden letter with the Yggdrasphere seal stamped onto it arrived for Motet. It looked very important but it instead held a message of appreciation on this simple holiday."To the esteemed second in command Motet Oratorio,
I write this as a sign of friendship. I still do not understand this custom very well but I hope my showing of good faith will display to you that I mean well. I scarcely understand what one enjoys when it comes to confectioneries, but with some luck Commander Vaneera informed me that your favorite candy was a sweet known as "Rock candy". Admittedly I first thought it was a literal rock, however a quick study revealed it was a type of crystalized sugar. I have included a sizable package of it within this letter, please enjoy it.
May Yggrasil guide you always, Diplomat of the Yggdrasphere: Vali.
Addendum: Please do not take this as a message of romantic intent. I can feel your deathly glare descending upon me like a curse as I write this."Included within the letter is a package of rock candy in colors of blue, pink, and green. The package is wrapped in gold foil.Motet Oratorio

A letter drastically different from the first two. This wasn't a golden envelope stamped with the Yggdrasphere seal. It was an ivory white envelope with a simple red wax seal. It was addressed to Asynia Lumis."Asynia,
I do not fully grasp these "Valentines Letters" even after a brief explanation. Though...I suppose you know well that I do not pick up tradition very well. I understand that our paths are two which must ultimately split apart, but perhaps some part of me regrets this fact. It's...Strange. The Verfolnir are a group whose goals I could never align myself. I could never possibly agree with any of you, it is an indisputable fact.
... And yet, some of my fondest memories are of my time acting as your guardian. Though we have grown distant I shall forever cherish the bonds that we made in those long lost days. I do not know what you think of me as I now stand as an obstacle to your goals, and I will not ask you to share with me that image you now hold. What you believe in and how you view me is entirely your secret from which I will not ask you to divulge. I can only hope that one day when our paths have reached their conclusion, we may meet one last time to share in those warm memories of our childhood.
May the light of Yggdrasil guide you always, Vali."It seems as though the letter is the only thing here...Up until a photograph drops from out of the now emptied envelope. It is a group photo of Verfolnir members. Near the center Asynia and Vali both stand nearby one another. Strangely...Vali is smiling in this picture.Asynia

One final letter, sent to the most unlikely of people..."Sent" in this case meant placing it in the sewers of Brench. In a spot only SHE would reach. He didn't know where she hid, or even what her name was, but he knew where the shadows gathered. That was all he needed. He knew that this golden envelope stamped with an important seal would be found by the assassin."To the assassin which threatens peace on Brench,
I do not know your goals...I do not know your identity, but I do know your skills are impeccable. I know that you will find this letter. And when you do? I wish to make a deal with you. Perhaps there is no point, perhaps someone like you would never be satisfied with assisting order. But I am prepared to offer you almost anything in return for your temporary cooperation. I can make all of the legal charges against you vanish, and then once our business has concluded? You are free to disappear into the shadows once more. What people do in retaliation against your crimes I cannot prevent. You are free to make your decision, but know that I have felt your ki signature, and I WILL hunt you to the ends of this world should you prove a continued threat to my goals.
From Anonymous."Within the letter is a piece of paper with coordinates written on it. These coordinates were likely a meeting place for this apparent "deal". What Lilith did with this if she found the letter was entirely up to her.Lilith
