Hey there! You've reached Mabel and Waddles Pines! I guess we managed to miss each other, but leave a message and I will of course get back to you asap!
[So today, Mabel will notice that her brother was pretty late coming home from work. The reason for that was? Because he went shopping afterwards, of course!
Though he probably should've thought that through first. Maybe had Mabel come with him.. because his arms are full of bags and he can't seem to get the door open. So, he'll just. Knock on it. With his forehead. And hope that Mabel comes to his rescue..]
[Mabel was wondering about that. Maybe he was out with friends! That would be good for him...or maybe...what if he found a girl?! She'd spent the afternoon coming up with all sorts of cute girls he might have found, startling out of her daydream at the knock. Who's knocking? A visitor?!]
Coming!!
[She's quick to hope off the couch and dash to the door, Waddles at her heels. And when she opens it--]
Whoa! What's all this Dipper?
[At least he doesn't have to ask her to take some of those bags.]
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

[ 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. ]

Send this to all the people you love and care for, because if you don't, then something preeeetty bad might happen to them! Heart failure is pretty serious~! Kehehehehehe!!!
(( 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. ))
[ It's almost Christmas (ic at least), so after much debate and probably a little prodding from Oz, Mabel will find an elegantly wrapped package waiting for her one day. There's no address for who it's from on the outside, but if she opens it, she'll find a plush toy, and a very simple, very short note in a neat script. He had thought about writing more, but he couldn't bring himself to do it after all... ]
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! }
[ On the evening of the 23rd, a small package will be delivered to Mabel and Dipper's doorstep. It's a small box, about 8x8x8. The package has "FRAGILE" written all over it, and a small note that says "DO NOT OPEN UNTIL THE 25th".
Whether or not they open it on the date stated or earlier, they'll find two smaller boxes inside, with one labelled "For Mabel!" Inside Mabel's box is a set of nailpolish.
Along with the package is a Christmas card - a rather simple one, it only has Widget's smiley blue face :) on it. It should be obvious who it's from!
Dear Mabel,
Thank you for being an awesome friend. Not just to me, but to everybody else, too! You're such a great person, and I hope you continue making people happy with what you do. :D
[Oh no these are so cute! And the letter really brightens her day! She's definitely going to be wearing the blue nail polish to the ball...it'll go with everything else! Even if she...is going to be wearing gloves. It'll be there!
And Athena you'd better be ready for a great big hug if you're going to the ball! And a dance!]
[ On Christmas Eve, Mabel will get a package delivered to her. The wrapping paper is bright, soft blues and pinks in a swirling pattern of stars and snowflakes. When the ribbon is untied and the box unwrapped, Mabel will find a book on unique and interesting patron saints from Earth’s history and a few bottles of glittery nail polish, in various shades of purple and green.
There’s also a card with a quick message. ]
Merry Christmas, Mabel.
Your gift was very thoughtful. I had lots of fun speaking to you at the party. You attend school, right? Come and see me sometime and we'll split a doughnut during lunch. I’m in room 3 most days.
[The gift isn't opened until Christmas morning, so she only gets a chance to sort of browse the book since she has a lot planned for the day, but it's going right by her bed to read later! And the nail polish is really pretty! Man, she's going to be the most stylish girl around the city at this rate!!
As for the card, she just grins and has to reply to that, though she at least waits until a little later in the day so that everyone can have fun with their Christmas morning!]
Thank you so, so, SO MUCH for the gift!! I haven't gotten to read much out of the book yet, but I'm going to start on it tonight! And I'm wearing some of the green nail polish right now!
I'll definitely come and visit you at lunch! Hey, are you going to the ball?
[ Wrapped in rainbow wrapping paper is a box sitting on her doorstep. Inside, Mabel will find a set of origami sticky-notes (in purple), a pack of glitter gel pens in all colors, a pack of glow-in-the-dark paint pens, a package of several little jars of glitter with a stick of glue. Lastly there's a white headband with a set of different attachable pieces, like a flower, a ribbon, etc.
There's an envelope with her name on it, and inside is a glittery Christmas card. ]
Merry Christmas, Mabel, and thank you for the gift! I'd love to meet up for lunch sometime! And you be careful with that Christmas tree, if you need help taking it down just let me know (so I can ask Mr Nick or someone to help you, since I'm not all that much taller than you!). I don't want you to be crushed by holiday spirit!
[Oh my gosh everything is great and those sticky notes are so cute and are going to be put to use IMMEDIATELY and she's already wearing the headband and is that glow-in-the-dark paint pens the ideas of what to use those for are endless.
She waits until mid afternoon on Christmas to text Pearl, but she's gotta thank her. And also thank Mr Nick for the help.]
Thank you so much Pearl! I loved everything you gave me, and I know how to use half of it already! We should set a date to meet up for lunch! And we'll probably need help with the tree when we're reading for it to go. Dipper and I managed to put it up, but putting a tree up is a lot different than taking it down!
[Mabel will find a small package in front of her door today, along with a card in a light pink envelope! It has Merry Christmas on the front in a very elegant and tidy script. The inside reads:]
Mabel,
I wanted to thank you once more for your kindness before the ball. I hope that you will accept this, and that we can become good friends.
[Kaoru, this is so beautiful! She wears it immediately, but she's also definitely going to wear it to the ball. She doesn't text him, but she's going to assault him with friendship and thanks at the ball for sure!]
[Rei had actually intended to give Mabel a little gift as well, but the very thoughtful card had just happened to have arrived first. Either way, Mabel will find a fairly decent sized parcel on the doorstep too, along with a note.]
Dear Mabel,
Thank you for the card and the gift. I would love to have lunch and hang out with you sometime. You're a very sweet little girl, and I'd like to get to know you better.
I hope you enjoy your gifts. The top of the box has something cooked, so open that before Christmas, but the little one underneath won't spoil.
Enjoy,
火野レイ
[Inside, regardless of when it's opened, Mabel will find a tray of homemade mochi, mostly pink in color but with a few white and brown ones mixed in for variety. And underneath is a squishy stuffed black cat with a crescent moon on the forehead. It looks like it's been handmade, at that.]
[She does as told, saving the second gift for Christmas but opening the first one almost immediately when the note says too. And oh my goodness what are these? They're so cute??? CUTE FOOD. She takes a taste of one of the pink ones immediately and wow they're so good probably eating a few of them a little fast--]
WOW!!! These are super good!!!! I've never had them before, what are they? Oh, thank you very much for the gift! I'm saving the second one for Christmas, so I'll probably thank you then too, but I had to thank you for whatever these are!
[ Among all of the other gifts that Mabel is sent, Patchouli's is small, a palm-sized pink box tied together with a yellow ribbon. Inside is a small card and a tissue-wrapped item. ]
Mabel,
Thank you for the holiday gift. It was incredibly kind of you to send, for all we only spoke briefly. I do hope this can suffice as a gift in return. If you ever find yourself in trouble, this charm will offer up physical protection. It is equipped with a few minor wards against bad luck and jinxes, and can generate small shields.
Joyeux Noël, Patchouli
[ It was then that I remembered PATCHOULI REMEMBERED that Mabel lives with her brother doesn't she? Well, to be on the fair side, there's an additional, smaller note: ]
If Dipper would like a charm as well, let me know the shape and any minor enchantment preferences.
[ The charm in question is in the shape of a heart, pink and some sort of polished metal, much like the crescent charm on Patchouli's own hat. There's a small clip on the back for attaching to clothing or hair, and if she squints, she can see a heptagram engraved beneath it.
It does indeed generate small, Mabel-sized force fields, which are also pink surprise surprise. Mabel may also find herself tripping, dropping things, or misplacing things less often if she wears it/keeps it on her person frequently! ]
[Patchouli, she's actually really touched. "Hope it suffices"? It more than suffices! And she clips it onto her headband immediately after reading the note a few times. Later in the afternoon on Christmas, so as not to interrupt any early morning Christmas activities, she texts her!]
Thank you for the gift, Patchouli! It's really beautiful, and from experience it's gonna be really useful. I'm going to wear it all the time! Thank you for protecting me. <3 <3 <3
You said you could make one for Dipper, right? Um...I'd really like for him to have one too! He gets into more trouble than I do usually, so I think it'd be good for him to have one. I'm not really sure what shape...
[He's basically getting one whether he wants one or not, so she hasn't asked him for details.]
The tree on his hat! If that's too complicated, then I can think of something else! Like a star...or a heart to match mine, in a different color? Or maybe an eyeball!! He's a boy, eyeballs are cool right? I'm not asking him about that though, he said snakes on fire with skulls last time I asked him and I'm not making you make a snake on fire with a skull that's dumb.
And...just something to keep him safe would be great. Like mine!
[Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! It is a time of generosity, and so Vietnam would like to share some food that one can share with family and friends. A package containing some bánh quy bơ quế (butter cookies with Vietnamese cinnamon MMMM), and an assortment of mứt (candied fruit preserves) for the New Year.
It's pretty big though, this package, because it has this cool thing. Also a card is included:]
Mabel,
Chúc Mừng Giáng Sinh! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
May your new year be prosperous and successful. I hope you spent it with many friends and played a lot of games. It's best with others, no?
Vietnam
[DAMMIT, SHE SENT THIS BEFORE SHE OPENED THE OTHER GIFT because she's very good and follows instructions...so a couple of days later--]
[Christmas morning and she's getting a call? That is perfectly okay!! She answers it quickly with a bright, happy and obviously pleased tone of voice.]
[On Christmas Eve, a special gift is left outside Mabel's door, next to one for Dipper and set next to a mini-Christmas tree that Lee set up. It is wrapped with green wrapping paper that has been bedazzled, and it includes a note addressed to Mabel.]
"Dear Mabel-chan,
Thank you for being such a diligent student and a kind friend! I care about you a lot! You and Mr. Waddles are both very delightful to know, and thinking of you always makes me smile!
I truly hope that you and your brother enjoy this holiday to its fullest extent. I know that you will take good care of your brother and look after him. And I know that you will do your best to spread cheer and goodwill!
I am so very proud of you. Please have a Merry Christmas.
In the Springtime of Our Youth, Konoha's Beautiful Green Wild Beast, Rock Lee."
[Mabel's presents include some relatively light training weights, a stuffed giraffe, a tin full of cookies and other assorted candies/sweets, a green sweater that says 'YOUTH' on it, a green headband and a badge certifying her as the Best Student Ever.There are also presents for Mr. Waddles! There's a green headband and poncho for the pig. Finally, there is a framed photo of Gai-Sensei.]
[ Well, she did promise that she was going to get Mabel something. And indeed, she did! Late in the evening on Christmas Eve, she'll receive a small black present box with her name on it, and if and when she opens it she'll find a pretty medium-sized plush, along with a typed note. ]
Merry Christmas, Mabel!
I was thinking that maybe you'd need to add another friend to your collection, so here you go. Feel free to name him too, I'm sure someone like you can come up with a good one.

Edited (forgot to have her sign it at the end there orz) 2015-04-25 03:16 (UTC)
[Upon after a long day of work or whatever that might have happened, there is a box that happened to be lurking right next to your door. Whatever it might be, it was clear that there was something inside. If they happened to shake it, it seemed as though there were a lot of whatever these things were. Next to the box though, there happened to be a bottle of milk next to it. On top of the present, there happened to be a card. And it read….]
Hey, Mabel!
Sorry for the wait but I had to make sure that these were perfect! I think I done a decent job with them so I hope you like them! But anyway, this is my belated Christmas present to you! I hope you have a good rest of the year and let’s be sure to have the time of your lives here!
-Anna
[And if Mabel opens the box, he’ll happen to find some slightly burnt chocolate cookies. But at least it’s the thought at counts!!]
I regret to report that with the activity this week no one has submitted any requests for love advice. Sorry about that.
On the other hand, if you'd like space to write about whatever sort of general advice you have, I'd be willing to print it. Alternatively, if anyone has otherwise given you questions to reply to, that's fine too.
There was a markedly positive reaction to your column last week! I think what you wrote really resonated with the readers. Good work!
Oh that's okay! I can write up some general advice no problem~! I haven't gotten any questions from anyone myself, so that'd probably be best. I could cover dating tips or how to deal with your feelings more indepth or something like that! When is the next deadline?
And really??! Yay!!!! I'll have to keep delivering then!
"I have started to like my superior in indecent ways, but I can't get it to stop. I tried to go out with someone else and I really wanted to like them but I don't know how to get rid of these feelings. What do I do? I'm not used to this and you shouldn't like your superior, right?"
That's it. Deadline this week is 2/13 at 11:59 pm.
[The message probably seems to come out of nowhere, but actually, the fact that it arrives at all shows how much work was put into it. Namur had to do a bit of sleuthing to figure out who the girl hooking people up in the gardens was.
But find out he did, and has left a package for her hanging off the branch of one of the trees.]
its that holuday u tokked about and i figyerd u disurv a gift liek ne1 else so go luk under the trees in the gardin wer u tokked 2 me and ull find it
[Hope Mabel's good at decryption. The package contains an ocean themed stationery pack, with stickers and glitter pens in matching colors.]
[Luckily she is a teenage girl in the technical age back home. This message was pretty easy to decipher. It was also a surprise...with everything that happened with the whole freezing to death thing and then the Nexus Code after that, she'd completely forgotten the holiday herself. She'd gone out, gotten the gift, but hadn't opened it immediately. That's why it's so late when she replies. Probably way past any 12 year old's bed time.
It's a good thing texting was invented, because she doesn't want him to see that she's crying over this. This was something small, but something she also really needed.]
Omg thank you so much!! The stationery is so cute, I love it!! I totally forgot it was Valentine's Day. Stupid CERES making everything all weird. >:(
[She's a little sad she can't give him one in return on Valentine's Day proper, but late will be better than nothing right?]
[ today the video shows hawke on the edge of a rooftop in her janitor's uniform after cleaning off some graffiti from a high up wall. she holds the cerevice in her hands and waits for it to connect and when it does, she'll speak. ]
Mabel? I was wondering if you have a moment to talk.
[On this day, a package is left at Mabel's door. Actually, several packages. There's a lot of different kinds of flowers and chocolates, as well as a long, flowing letter. It's written mostly in the handwriting of a familiar beast.]
Dear Mabel Pines, A True Warrior of Love,
It is said that love is the most powerful force that there is! To share love is a beautiful thing, and in those cases it is only right that it is shared back. Love should be spread all around! And that is why this present is given to you!
You worked so hard to help so many people in this colony find love by arranging the blind dates. We all appreciate that opportunity from the bottom of our heart, and it is only fair that you receive love in return as well! Let it be reflected in these gifts and the sentiments of this letter. You will never be alone!
We will always be here for you, cheering you on, until your family is complete again, and the prince of your dreams whisks you off your feet. With the strength of your heart, we know it is only a matter of time. Please stay strong and keep fighting bravely. We believe in you, and we hope that you can smile on this day of Valentines. Until you find your prince, we will all be your Valentine.
With love...
[What follows is a long series of signatures, which likely includes a majority of the population, including of course Lee's own signature. Peko's signature is accompanied by a sticker of a cute cat! He might have even gotten some of the random NPCs to sign!
There are also a few other things included: one is a green sweater in Mabel's side that has the symbol of a fist with a heart within it and a logo reading 'WARRIOR OF LOVE!'. There is also a small drawing of Mabel holding hands with various friends, including both Dipper and Lee.]

[Upon after a long day of work or whatever that might have happened, there is a box that happened to be lurking right next to your door. Whatever it might be, it was clear that there was something inside. If they happened to shake it, it seemed as though there were a lot of whatever these things were. Next to the box though, there happened to be a bottle of milk next to it. On top of the present, there happened to be a card. And it read….]
Hey, Mabel!
Sorry for the wait but I had to make sure that these were perfect! I think I done a decent job with them so I hope you like them! But anyway, this is my belated Christmas present to you! I hope you have a good rest of the year and let’s be sure to have the time of your lives here!
-Anna
[And if Mabel opens the box, he’ll happen to find some slightly burnt chocolate cookies. But at least it’s the thought at counts!!]

I regret to report that with the activity this week no one has submitted any requests for love advice. Sorry about that.
On the other hand, if you'd like space to write about whatever sort of general advice you have, I'd be willing to print it. Alternatively, if anyone has otherwise given you questions to reply to, that's fine too.
There was a markedly positive reaction to your column last week! I think what you wrote really resonated with the readers. Good work!
Let me know your intention,
-Myriam Scuttlebutt

There's a request for love advice this week.
Here it is:
"I have started to like my superior in indecent ways, but I can't get it to stop. I tried to go out with someone else and I really wanted to like them but I don't know how to get rid of these feelings. What do I do? I'm not used to this and you shouldn't like your superior, right?"
That's it. Deadline this week is 2/13 at 11:59 pm.

But find out he did, and has left a package for her hanging off the branch of one of the trees.]

[Hope Mabel's good at decryption. The package contains an ocean themed stationery pack, with stickers and glitter pens in matching colors.]

It's a good thing texting was invented, because she doesn't want him to see that she's crying over this. This was something small, but something she also really needed.]
Omg thank you so much!! The stationery is so cute, I love it!! I totally forgot it was Valentine's Day. Stupid CERES making everything all weird. >:(
[She's a little sad she can't give him one in return on Valentine's Day proper, but late will be better than nothing right?]

Dear Mabel Pines, A True Warrior of Love,
It is said that love is the most powerful force that there is! To share love is a beautiful thing, and in those cases it is only right that it is shared back. Love should be spread all around! And that is why this present is given to you!
You worked so hard to help so many people in this colony find love by arranging the blind dates. We all appreciate that opportunity from the bottom of our heart, and it is only fair that you receive love in return as well! Let it be reflected in these gifts and the sentiments of this letter. You will never be alone!
We will always be here for you, cheering you on, until your family is complete again, and the prince of your dreams whisks you off your feet. With the strength of your heart, we know it is only a matter of time. Please stay strong and keep fighting bravely. We believe in you, and we hope that you can smile on this day of Valentines. Until you find your prince, we will all be your Valentine.
With love...
[What follows is a long series of signatures, which likely includes a majority of the population, including of course Lee's own signature. Peko's signature is accompanied by a sticker of a cute cat! He might have even gotten some of the random NPCs to sign!
There are also a few other things included: one is a green sweater in Mabel's side that has the symbol of a fist with a heart within it and a logo reading 'WARRIOR OF LOVE!'. There is also a small drawing of Mabel holding hands with various friends, including both Dipper and Lee.]
