(It took a bit of prodding around, but eventually Eddie figured it out.
A shoe box is sitting outside of Louis's door sometime late September. There's a single sunflower that's already begun to wilt sitting on the top.
Within the box are a few scraggly looking homemade incense that smell a little bit like ginger.
There's a folded up piece of paper. On the back seems to be detailed instructions on how to make incense. On the front:
louis-
hey sorry if this seemed ominious
shiro told me you wanted to know how to make incense maybe so i put how i did it on the back. these kind of suck but they'll get the job done in a pinch.
let me know if you want any help. i work at the florists shop so i can get most of the stuff you might need
[Wow, Eddie sure does deliver- Louis is endlessly grateful. He's sure going to put this to good use and make probably the worst smelling incense known to man, but at least they'll work!]
Hey dude thanks for the package you are a literal lifesaver now i can stave off the creeping horoscope that's gonna be october yay \o/ remind me to write you an epic song in your honour it can be as badass as you want it to be
[Diarmuid's at school this day when he moves to catch up with Louis, though instead of his satchel he's currently carrying a basket — much like the kind you'd find in a picnic, really, carefully cradled in the crease of his not-so-broken arm.]
Louis, I bid a moment of time! I have something for you.
[It's nothing that fancy, really, but he's been doing what he can with his busted arm — in terms of cooking and baking. The bread was a nightmare with one hand, but the stew in its container was at least easy to make in batches for everyone. A scarf hangs over his arm, too, and it's most definitely for Louis, judging by the pattern.
The boy at least seems a little more lively than the last time they'd spoken.]
The next time Louis swings by Pixie's, he'll find a small parcel for him on the piano stool. It contains a tin of wood polish with a note taped to it that says For Chairles!, and (the real present) a contract to play at Pixie's two nights a week, indefinitely, as a paid performer.
[Kurt better believe he gets a message from Louis right after that. Well, not right after, because he probably hid in a corner for like five minutes. This means so goddamn much to him. It's a dream he long since put away - because it's not exactly one you can pursue in the zombie apocalypse- with the best will in the world. ]
Hey man, thanks for the gift. Like. Seriously, no kidding around. That's pretty much the best thing that anyone has ever given me.
(Whenever he gets the chance to trade gifts with Louis, he'll be giving him a plain ash gray t-shirt that says in white blocky print: I SURVIVED THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS LOUSY (P)T-S(D)HIRT)
[Louis will treasure it forever. For his gift, Eddie will receive a fabulous rainbow scarf and a handwritten note promising Louis will play a song of Eddie's choosing on the piano at any point Eddie wishes. Even at 4 am. ]
[Louis will love and appreciate this and let her know he's very impressed with the cupcakes. In turn, Chloe gets a truly marvellous hat and a note promising her one (1) song played on the piano of her choosing- no matter how awful. ]
[one day, out of the blue, louis gets a selfie from amara. it's an important one. she's outside in the nice sun, wearing a thick pair of sunglasses. she is giving the camera fingerguns with one hand, the other holding it up while she grins like a total idiot.
over her shoulder, the reason for it is clear. she's found her house number.
[All Amara will hear for about a full minute is hysterical, proper belly laughing. This is the best fucking day. Eventually, through no small amount of sniggering:]
um thanks for the corndog pic? is there a reason for it? like do you want me to eat the corndogs? or is it like a euphemism? because if it's that last one sorry i got a gf
...that's really fucking tragic scott but i guess the uncoolness factor matters how big the spider was? or how big you were? i think that factors in a lot also if the spider was poisonous? venomous? whichever one it is idk you're the scientist
I know I complained about it, but seriously, thanks for dropping all that off for me You're the best :) I have to admit I miss seeing your cute little self skipping down the halls
ok first of all it is completely normal to put deoderant on the inside of your thighs it helps them FROM CHAFING next time you're walking around in the summer and you fucking skin your thighs dont come crying to me i dont wanna hear about it
fucking poetic like utter poetry my heart is full right now
im guessing this isn't meant for me which brings me to question who is our dear sweet little william writing love poetry for? a mystery for me to solve! ◕ ◡ ◕
Penny quick! I need your help! My fluids been acting all weird and I accidentally sent a cute song to a boy. You have to help me either delete the song or break his fluid. Also Yang can never find out. Okay? Okay. Good.
[God, he's had so many of these. It's like the fluid KNOWS who to send these to. Thanks, Fluid Angel!]
you sent a cute song to a boy?!!! and now you don't want him to know about it?!! how cute are we talking about here? is it a love song? you need to give me more deets
[ Someone picked a bad time to be out in the middle of the woods. He'd glowered at the broadcast from Mother Superior, a bunch of shit he don't understand a whole lot of but he knows deep down in his gut that shit's bad. He's threatened by it, his hackles are up.
And then that stupid fuckin' bear hits the button and the ground begins to quake.
It ain't easy keeping a level head in it: the distant booms beneath the earth, trees swaying and cracking — some of the brought down in it. And then all the animals going fucking nuts. He ain't been in anything like it. And it's only that the earth finally stops shaking, the high walls moved into place that things are calm enough that he can he finally take a breath.
Calling's the first thing he does: ]
Louis. [ He sounds out of breath, still filled with adrenaline. ] You alright? You good?
[ Alive, unhurt, he means. ]
Listen, I'm out here in the woods. I'm good. It's fine. Ain't so bad, but sure feels like Hell broke loose. [ Underrated to say the least. ] The fuck was all that about with Sister Act in the damn gas mask and the bad time bear? Is that Sodder?
[Congrats, Daryl, you get to have someone be actually glad to hear from you. The relief is palable in Louis' voice. The edge of fear is still there- because honestly FUCK that bear. But he knew Daryl was out doing his woods-y thing and he was worried.]
Hey man. I'm good. Or... good as possible. No injuries.
Glad to hear you're okay. [Really. ] Aaaand that would be Mother Superior. She fucking hates us and wants us to stop existing. I guess she finally found a solid way to attempt that.
[He hesitates, because... well, talking about the bear is always batshit and it means talking about Wonderland more.]
I've seen that asshole bear before. Not... at home. In Wonderland I had a friend who came from the same world as that bear. It's- really fucking bad. Like. Evil puppetmaster trying to turn people against each other fucking bad.
[ Welp. She sure did bail on checking out how the kid was doing after she came back to life. In fact, she checked out of the David Cliff Apartments entirely - but she's feeling a bit better now, death flu is almost over, and if the kid doesn't want to talk to her - if he saw what happened and couldn't stand it - well, that was his right and better to get that over with.
But if not, she knew he'd been freaking out at the beginning of the month, and she kind of wanted to make sure he was doing as okay as possible. ]
