Eclipse: I want to buy some avante clothes
Eclipse: And would you happen to know if I can buy things in the position colour of someone who isn't here

[There's... no messily wrapped gift outside your door. But there is a note: Go to the balcony
There, you'll see a brand new balcony herb planter, with starting pots of basil, thyme, rosemary, sage, oregano, dill, cilantro, lemongrass, mint, and chamomile.
A note reads: To my incomparable wife
I thought, wouldn't it be nice to bring some of your new gardening skills to back here, where you can use them? You've already cultivated something wonderful in this home, and it'll keep growing, just like us.
Happy Christmas, with all my love
- your husband, Nero]

[Cake seems popular. Homemade things even more so. Why not combine the two?
In a little box outside your door is a "cake". It looks like it's been made by someone who napped through science and chemistry, disdains following directions, and has never made anything in a kitchen a single day of their life –– in fact, this mystery benefactor may even have trouble identifying what is and is not, in fact, food!
The icing is far too sweet, 2-3 times sweeter than it should be, and there is way too much of it –– possibly more icing than cake. The batter has an oddly spongy consistency and is clearly undercooked, while somehow also being burnt on the bottom. It's also not mixed well, cutting a slice reveals a very inconsistent-looking inside.
Enjoy!]

[ At too-early-for-this in the morning, a wrapped gift addressed to Shrike has been left in the unit dropbox. There’s a card attached with a message written in tidy block letters. In some places, the letters feel a little too stiff, like this clearly isn’t the sender’s natural handwriting. ]
Honestly, you can probably guess who this is, but if I’m going to commit to this endeavour I may as well be consistent.
I do not know what awaits you on the road ahead. You have chosen a difficult path.
I still pray for your joy, now and in the future, for you have found people who love you and things that are worth fighting for.
[ Inside the gift box is a knitted gradient scarf in her position colour and avante gold. It smells faintly of the sea breeze. ]

Vergil: Hello Shrike, this is Vergil. I wanted to ask you about Nero. Additionally, I have something to give you. However arriving at avante unannounced seems unwise at the moment. If you have time, would you like to come to Taisho?
sad bird in snow: Ah, Raven talked to me about what's going on a bit already, but I would like to hear from you too—
sad bird in snow: It's easy enough for me to come by! I'd always have time for something like this.

sad bird in snow: If you need anything in the meantime, let me know if I can help—and Persephone's a close friend of mine, so I'm sure if you need anything while you're there you can tug on his sleeve.
