I find I cannot remember what happened on Tarsday Tuesday; it must have been a curse, and no doubt a strange one. I hope I did nothing regrettable... though perhaps I ought to take the fact that I cannot recall it as a sign that I should not pry.

I did find, scrawled in something that might have been my own hand, these lines;

Merry Christmas, Silk! Thank you so much for the platypus!

[ooc: Silk got a hand-knit sweater and a tin of peppermint cookies!]

[silk_for_calde]

I am glad you like it! I'd never seen one before, have you? I thought it was a rather curious creature.

Thank you for your gifts as well, Lucy. The sweater is quite handsome, and very warm.

[lionesscouchant]

I've only seen pictures, they are rather odd.

You're very welcome!

[silk_for_calde]

I'm told they lay eggs, like birds. I don't think Viron is the right kind of place for them, though for all I know they might have them in other parts of my whorl.

[livingmyths]

Silk! Oh, this is wonderful! And the paper! Oh, I shall save that forever.

[She gave Silk a book of Lakota tales.]

The art on the paper was done by miss Hiyori-- I don't know if you've met?-- and it's wonderful; I am glad you like it!

Thank you so much for the book, Rain-- I am trying to read it slowly, to make it last!

[livingmyths]

I don't think I have, but it is ever so beautiful. I wonder if I could get it framed.

You're welcome. I hope you enjoy it!

[silk_for_calde]

I will show you the originals, sometime-- they're even lovelier larger.

I shall! And I hope you enjoy yours!

[letslip]

They're nice words, if anything.

[silk_for_calde]

They are; most of the Writings are, even when read out of context.

I suspect they are meant to tell me something, though-- the mention of Hyacinth-- I can't imagine what it means.

[letslip]

And I'm afraid I know only the flower.

[silk_for_calde]

The flower itself is intended, too-- any passage from the Writings is bound to have more than one meaning. Indeed, perhaps I assumed too quickly that the message involves the person.

[doujin_dork]

Yeah, that was kinda weird- Ah! But thank you for the gift, Silk!

[OoC: AHAHA, she's getting so many more mediums to exploooore.

She got him a book about pirates, I think. For lulz.]

[silk_for_calde]

And thank you for yours, Hiyori-- and for doing such swift and excellent work on the portraits! I hope you didn't mind the wrapping-paper; I thought it would be a nice surprise.

[doujin_dork]

Mm, you're welcome! I'm glad they came out well.

Oh, no, it wasn't a problem. It was really cool!
