[ Kaneki only celebrates New Years, so that's the day he'll be dropping off gifts. For Alfie there is indeed a gift, which will be home-made mochi (rice cakes) and sake ]

I don't know if you enjoy sake or not, but it's something different from rum, I can assure you.
Happy New Year.

- Ken Kaneki

( gwen has a to-do list. it's long, and there are things on it she doesn't envision checking off on it any time in the immediately foreseeable future, but it's good to have goals. some things, however, are nearer to the top; things like 'deal with that regrettable conversation'.

can't be ignored forever. could have been, if somebody hadn't opened her stupid mouth about her stupid powers-- )

Hi Alfie, it's Gwen -

( wait, what next

oh, she does have a question ... but she's not asking him what he knows about the black market over the phone. that's stupid. and what if he doesn't know anything about it, anyway, is it rude to assume all shady people who don't trust the government are hella criminals... )

I'm still trying to get the lay of the land. Do you want to catch up? Here's my number.

( she rattles it off and hangs up. )

[ Perhaps it's a bit old-fashioned, but the message arrives for Alfie via mockingbird. Sealed closed by a wax mockingbird sigil, the letter is hand-written in careful cursive. ]

Dear Mr. Solomons -

I write to you on behalf of a project I am working on within our city. Construction has already begun on rebuilding a much larger library, but I wish for this to be more than simply a bigger structure. I hope to inspire education and the spread of knowledge to the natives of Maurtia Falls as well as provide an invaluable resource to new arrivals here. But more than that, I wish to use it to pay homage to the natives who lost their lives within Maurtia Falls due to imPort related tragedies. Their names will be honored within the library itself and donations will be set up to be made to the families.

For this project to succeed, I need your help. If you are able to donate anything at all to the cause, it would be most appreciated -- whether that is books, money, or simply your time. It could be an excellent opportunity to spread your business's name throughout the community. Perhaps you could even bake some things to be sold at a fundraiser.

I thank you for your time, and I do hope to hear back from you soon.

Sincerely,
Ambassador Petyr Baelish

[ OOC: You can feel free to just respond to this OOCly if he would donate anything or not! ]

[This is the first time that Josuke has been tasked with being a probation officer for another imPort. To say the request is a little intimidating would be an understatement, especially considering his own hopeful rise to career law enforcement in a few months time. If this doesn't end poorly, it could really bode well for his future! Then again, if things should go south...

Well, there's no point getting ahead of himself. First thing's first. Introducing himself to his probationer. There isn't any reason to be unkind about it, but he knows it's important not to be too casual, either. This system isn't in place only for the welfare of the everyday citizen, but for the imPorts being rehabilitated, too.]

Mr Solomons? Hi. My name is Josuke Higashikata. I've been assigned as your probation officer. I'd like to meet. Would tomorrow morning at 9AM be a good time for you?

You too fuckin' stupid to cover up your face during a bank robbery?

[ My, this voice sounds familiar! ]

[ As promised, a few weeks after their ~~current thread~~ previous conversation, Ray has finally settled on a list of films he feels is worth passing on, after spending a laborious amount of time trying to narrow it down. ]

All right, as requested! Ray's Recs: A Special Selection.

Now I did try to narrow it down to things I thought you might actually like, or at least maybe find interesting. While also still giving you a little bit of everything.

( she'd been meaning to get in touch -

that was him, she thinks, that memory

- but it's something else entirely that prompts this; )

Did you hear about the Porter?

( What does it mean, what the fuck is going on, how did they -

No one seems to want to leave as bad as Alfie. Is he okay. )

idea for podcast: is the entity in the porter actually sod? you know the person behind sod's law hey there's a bunch of weird shit happening and i got stabbed again you wanna get shitfaced?

[An envelope arrives wherever Alfie can receive it, with something sizable inside. It turns out to be a car key. Also enclosed is a small piece of paper with a Nonah address written on it - Clara's house in the woods, where her regrettable station wagon is parked. She's been sent back home, so no payment on his part will be needed. The car is free for the taking, however, and he's free to keep it parked on the now-abandoned farmstead.]

Here I was beginning to think there were no good things left in this world. Then I saw your name still on the network...

you were an adorably precocious little bugger, you know that?

[OOC: continued from here.]

Yes. Come quick.

[OOC: continued from here.]

And I won't be able to tell them about my adventures because they won't belive me, but I'll tell my brothers.

[Continued from here.]

[You don't believe him? Gosh, Kaneki.]

My brothers and my sister and my cousins. Kids from school. Everybody I wanna lead I can lead.

Sometime toward the end of August, Alfie will find an elegantly arranged gift basket hand-delivered to him by courier. Within is a tasteful array of artisan snacks and candies; a fine bottle of wine or liquor, or perhaps some gourmet coffee instead; a piece of handcrafted jewelry or small piece of art; and a black leather envelope clutch containing vouchers for various high end restaurants, theaters, entertainment venues, and spas around Maurtia Falls. In fact, everything down to the very basket itself seem to have been manufactured in Maurtia Falls.

A handwritten card accompanies the gifts. It reads:

"Maurtia Falls deserves to be celebrated for the incredible achievements it is already home to. If you believe that imPorts should play our part in elevating one of our Porter cities beyond its reputation, then Logan Delos is the ambassadorial candidate most deserving of your vote."

It's finished with Logan's scrawling signature, and contact information for his campaign, should anyone want to get in touch with him.
