[ There's a small pile of presents set out for Donnie, all beautifully wrapped in pretty purple and silver cybernetic-themed paper with satin ribbons.
"Happy Holidays, Beloved!"
🪶A handsewn dress, perfectly sized to fit him and made with materials she knows that he likes. 🪶 The pair of boots from the image above! They might be custom made, even, so that they'll be comfy for him despite the non-standard shape of his feet. 🪶 A handmade, hand-bound, handwritten (and illustrated!) book on 25xx technology, covering pretty much everything that Korone can remember. It's colorful, informative, and super nerdy … and kinda goofy in places; she's used comics and cartoon illustrations to demonstrate some of the concepts alongside more technical diagrams. 🪶 A handsewn satin snoodie — purple, of course. It's SO warm, snug, and cosy. The lining has a subtle yet extremely nerdy circuit board pattern (that actually makes logical sense!), and here and there he might discover cute little bits of embroidery - birdtiles, pizza, and musical notes, mostly ]
[ After the mistletoe trap and resulting fluster with Wukong, Macaque got to thinking: ]
That thing we batted around as being impossible with drugs, [ meaning "turning down the love-love feelings for one specific person without dulling one's entire brain" ] any thoughts on how it might be possible?
I already know its possible to implant a fear into a person's brain without having to train it into a person or brainwash them. It was a direct neural manipulation.
If something can be implanted like that, then something can be removed.
[ Korone has left a pile of presents outside Donnie's bedroom door, far enough back that he won't trip over them. They're all labelled with his name.
In the largest box, he'll find a set of three large, super cute, super soft and wonderfully huggable plushies! There's a roumd brown-and-white pigeon wearing a blue scarf; a(n also roumd-ish) softshell turtle wearing a battleshell, hoodie, and purple bandanna; and a 4ft long noodly snekwolf wearing an adorable chamomile-flower pattern snoodie and a dark gray-blue scarf. It looks like they're all custom made by professionals — the accessories are all removable, and the craftsmanship is impeccable.
The next box is also pretty big! Inside is a heart-shaped pillow with several satin pillowcases to choose from, and a neatly folded, plush purple satin-lined sleeping bag.
Then there's a box of homemade chocolates, a gift card for his favorite pizza place …
And finally, a card. Inside there's a cute doodle of Korone kissing Donnie's cheek, a message, and another, smaller envelope. The message reads: "To my lovely, beloved Dokkun, Happy Valentine's Day! Love you love you love you ❤️"
Inside the smaller envelope … a coupon? "Permission for Donatello Hamato to give Choco Korone one (1) tracking device" ]
DELIVERY, pretend I did this in time for Christmas lol
[ it's a day or so late—the solstice wasn't a gift-giving occasion back home, so she got caught unprepared— but Donnie gets a basket with an assortment of gift bags:
- some very lightweight, quick-absorbing herb and flower infused lotions and oils— all ranging from lightly scented to non-scented and avoiding basically anything that Eve has previously noticed Donnie having sensory issues with. All of them have ingredient lists handwritten on them in slightly messy writing— Donnie may notice a high ratio of humectants in there for retaining moisture. Some of them are also higher in skin-soothing ingredients and have "for shedding" written on them.
- a box of chocolate chip cookies, with a faint woodsmoke taste to them.
- a bag of white coffee beans, which the bag explains are significantly less bitter and also significantly more caffeinated than regular medium roast.
- a set of interlocking titanium rings, anodized in purple. When assembled the right way, they make a chunky braided-looking bracelet, but it's a bit of a puzzle to get them to snap together correctly. There's also a buttery-soft removable leather sheath/strap that can be used as padding.
- a note: "Let me know if any of these are no-gos for any reason, I can swap them out.
Papaque and I had a wild conversation the other day. It went places. One of them was using the ninpo to let him take a look at how my soul is holding up re: memories, amnesia, and old stupid glitchy nonsense where I'd sometimes lose bits and pieces. He said the whole situation looks stable; the ninpo is helping (acting as a brace while I heal?) and he seriously doubts there's any danger of cascading failures or further losses. Also (coincidentally) confirmed at least 1 of my objectives from the Temple is still active (°ー°〃);
We wanted to tell you in case you wanted to take a look as well.
& I double wanted to tell you because … maybe it'd be nice to explore the ninpo together sometime? Just for us.
[ Once Wylan is settled and taken care of after all this, Korone puts up a sign on her (left slightly ajar) door: "Headache nap in progress. Company is welcome but be quiet about it lest I bite you."
T-T-T-T-TIME TO CRASH HARD for like maybe four hours. Hard enough that even with the door slightly ajar, she'll stay sound asleep unless there's a real ruckus or someone specifically tries to wake her.
Once she does finally wake up, slowly and groggily and with much grumbling — unless Donnie snuck in at some point, she'll roll herself out of bed to go find him. ]
1,2,4. ♥ 3. WITHIN LIMITS 3b. we ARE going to re-programme your bots to harass you as well btw, points at eyes points at you 5. no we are not.
part of my reason for texting is because you have more empathy for these particular frustrations while also understanding WHY beds are banned. could you talk it through with him sometime?
i'm too nice for this (ˉ▽ˉ;)... bossing you around is so much easier
since i'm already committing many crimes today it only feels reasonable to add one more: dokkun, dad's gonna need +++ sinks 3 of them (o゜▽゜)o☆ my confidence level is HIGH but we'll want to consider the timing i've doodled up some ideas. just spit-balling; NO idea if they'd work in practice
[ attached are a bunch of sketches. no tech specs, just Vibes and Aesthetics ]
I should be able to figure out how to do two, maybe three of these. Plumbing is always more of a challenge with modulation. Electricity is easy to cut off and reattach. Maintaining water pressure and avoiding leaks is a whole other issue. But yes, the switching is a good idea. Four vanities was already pushing an acceptable level, seven is just comical. I'll find a way to make it work.
We can, however, definitely make the pretty sinks.
I need twenty minutes to finish something up, but we can meet...
Is this a conversation where you should be comfortable and feeling safe? [He's trying to think of why Mac says someone should talk to him and he can only think of problem to fix.]
[ Having no idea how White Day is supposed to work for a triad is, in Korone's humble opinion, an excellent excuse to just go right ahead and spoil them both anyway.
Donnie receives: - a box of adorable heart-shaped chocolates, very similar to the relationship chocolates from her heart game in both presentation and effect! get wrecked ♥ - a handmade datemate-themed weighted blanket, enchanted to always be the right temperature - a fully functional pizza skateboard. as in, a skateboard made entirely of pizza and pizza-adjacent deliciousness. ]

February 14th - Happy Valentine's Day
In the largest box, he'll find a set of three large, super cute, super soft and wonderfully huggable plushies! There's a roumd brown-and-white pigeon wearing a blue scarf; a(n also roumd-ish) softshell turtle wearing a battleshell, hoodie, and purple bandanna; and a 4ft long noodly snekwolf wearing an adorable chamomile-flower pattern snoodie and a dark gray-blue scarf.

If I said I was designing a quilt for Macaque
and then I said that I was thinking about maybe gifting it to him on June 16th ...
Would you be interested in adding to it?
Or going full collab?
It's nearly four months away, so there's plenty of time if you need to think about it. Just let me know.
Love you
