<p></p>
<p>Hey. Well, if it isn&;t you! I don&;t think I thanked you enough for the other time, did I? With all of these wayward spirits causing havoc. Still can&;t believe my rotten luck, though!</p>
<p>That&;s why I&;m vowing to be a little more careful when I work. Try to not do reckless multitasking as I used to! That way, I don&;t destroy everything I have to record and analyze for the archives!</p>
<p>Why are you here for, is it an emergency?

Ah, don't worry, all is well that ends well xD But not destroying important material is always useful, haha xD

Not a super emergency, mind you, but it's still important! I heard there's a little gift exchange happening right now, and well, I've been in need of some gifting ideas myself D: So I figured, what better way to get them than asking around a little bit?! Did you join the celebration? Maybe you could help me out ^-^

Guess you got some interesting information? ;)

Thanks for the info there buddy, you're a big help. :) Let's do OCATVE3.

-_- the forums just ate my post. RUDE

Anyway, I was saying I messed with the spreadsheet formatting a bit, mostly to freeze top line and left column! If it looks bad for anyone, you know, just unfreeze ^^;

<p>I feel better knowing that we managed to save ourselves from trouble! Although I can&;t say what kind of trouble, really. It&;s all blurry in my head. I wonder why. Guess that after so many adventures, things get a little messy!
GIFT EXCHANGE. YES. Yeah, it&;s a thing that&;s happening, alright.</p>
<p>I&;ll be frank, I know Becky is giving me my gift. She&;s not good at being subtle. Like, at all. She asked me like ten times if I liked Geartinis like her.</p>
<p>I was all : No Becky, I&;m all about the Fizzy Strawberry Drink, now! But, I don&;t say no to a Kiwi Blended Smoothie either!</p>
<p>I&;m not sure if one should entrust Becky with buying flowers too. What if she messes up and gets me anything but a Survival Blue Lovely Flower? I don&;t know. That seems like a Becky thing to do.</p>
<p>But, don&;t tell her I told you that. She&;d be so sad if she knew I know.</p>
<p>Anyway. I guess you can go back and talk to Chaka again. You just have to dial LUDOVIC3. Or, maybe you&;d like to see someone else. You know the drill by now, right? LUDOVIC2. It&;s another lady that will answer the calls.

Lol, poor Becky! But you could've been nice and only given her one drink choice, I mean, the girl might get so confused trying to figure out which one you'd like better D: Thank you for the information, though! ^-^

I think we'll go with LUDOVIC2 now c:

Wonderful to meet you Ylana, I love the kora at your feet, it's adorable. :) I am merely a visitor during these lovely festivities. I suppose you're partaking in them as well? With the ship of being of no worry, I'm sure you've gotten your partner's gifts as well?

<p>Hey. It is you. I think I remember you. From that one time.</p>
<p>I&;m a little under the weather. It&;s your winters, they get me down. But don&;t worry, I&;m fine. :D</p>
<p>It&;s going to get better soon, days are getting longer from where we are, after all! And you, what about you? Usually, when you show up, it&;s because things are happening? What is going on?

Hi! It is me xD I'm sorry to hear that, winters can be pretty harsh... but at this time of the year, summers can be pretty awful too where I live, lol, so it's a lose/lose situation D:

Yeah, I've heard of the gift exchange happening those days and I'm going around asking about people's picks to get some ideas for fancy things I could buy, too xD Any day is a good day to spoil friends! Did you do your shopping already? c:

</p>
<p>If you want the honest truth, no I did not. Let&;s just say that my partner&;s list is rather...odd. Hold on, I&;ll get the information for you.</p>
<p>What did he ask for...</p>
<p>Blue Raspberry Jelly Shot
Adorable Vesnali Blueberry Cupcake
Survival Blue Memory Flower</p>
<p>I mean, it&;s adorable. It is all thematic and the likes! It&;s super sweet. But, I don&;t know, what if I have trouble finding these things!</p>
<p>It&;s my fault, I shouldn&;t have done this so late...

Awh, I see D: Well, don't worry, none of these seem to be so hard to find that you wouldn't be able to get them in time! But it's best to not procrastinate any longer, go hunt them as soon as work gives you a break c:

Haha, I can see blue is probably his favorite color! I don't suppose your list followed any theme, then? o:

-- tiny edit for poking 's face 8D

Either way, it's awesome to see your crew again!

(I applaud you for continuing this -- I love seeing the Aeternali in action! Makes me inspired to continue my own stories, as well :) )

</p>
<p>Not really! I just went with the flow, as I usually do! I don&;t really have a theme to my thing...I should have done so, though! It is clever!</p>
<p>What did I ask for...hmmmmm</p>
<p>I don&;t know, is this a thing? To go and tell you what I asked for? That doesn&;t seem like a thing people usually do but...alright</p>
<p>Lemon Jelly Shot
Strawberry Glam Cupcake
Survival Orange Lovely Flower
Like they&;re all warm colors so I guess it&;s a theme. A weak one, but still.</p>
<p>Anyway, I&;d love to keep you around, but I feel like you have a job to do.</p>
<p>ELODIE1 gets you to the person I&;ve gifted. A sweet boy he is. ELODIE2 gets you back to Ludovic. Because sometimes, it&;s not that bad to backpedal. And ELODIE3 gets you to one of my best friends on the ship, and I guarantee you&;ll have a field day with him! I have the best coworkers, ok!

Aah, well you can do it next time maybe! What really matters is picking things you'd like to get, regardless ^-^ And don't worry, I won't ruin the surprise c: Thank you! Psh, I'm glad to hear everyone is so nice, after all, you guys spend lots of time together on the same ship o:

/casually notes down information on a sheet while deciding to go with ELODIE3 next xD talking to as many different people as possible la la la

Posting this one because I am going to bed, now.

Second part of the positive Ylana conversation :)

Of course I heard about it, and of course I'm ready. I mean, if you're not ready to rumble, you are stuck with the bottom of the barrel, as far as gifts go.

Especially since I got Kinnon. I mean, Kin is nice, but he can get cranky when thinks do not go his way.

But, I got everything he wanted, he SHOULD BE PLEASED.

But now, I'm wondering who got me. If I told you the items I asked for, do you think you can figure out who picked me? Especially since I told you who I got and all?

Oh man this is so much fun, thank you so much! Also for the cute gifts~ <3 :)

Ah, very interesting - sounds pretty fun as well. :) I think I'll dial LINA2 for now, want to know who I'm talking to next. C:

Posting this one before I went to work, but someone triggered a bad end last night

you have terminated communication with cole, elodie

Hello, this is Kinnon, I am currently away from my office right now. Please leave me a message and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Ooops, wow that was unexpected. Wow. Yes, I'd like communication with her.

MEH! Where are those people during their work hours, pfft n_n

WELL ok. I guess we can go back one step to Elodie and then check out ELODIE2 see if Ludovic decided to tell us the things he bought :K

[edit] OH so the smoothie counts as the candy? I THOUGHT IT HAD TO BE A CHEWABLE KIND OF CANDY

[edit] ffft I got way too distracted looking at the male HA contest entries XD

<p></p>
<p>Hey! It&;s you! Again! Geez Louise, it seems like we&;re fated to meet, aren&;t we?</p>
<p>So, did I tickle your fancy with our earlier conversation. Probably, otherwise, you wouldn&;t be here, right?</p>
<p>Anyway. I could just go and tell you what I bought, if that&;s all you want to know.</p>
<p>Orange Geartini
Berry Blended Smoothie
Survival Yellow Lovely Flower</p>
<p>Yeah. Sure is what I bought, right. Amazing. As for who I got this for...wellllllllll, I don&;t know. Is it too soon to go and reveal who I got?

Yup, me again! Well, I just happened to need a bit more information ;) Thanks for that!

Nah, it's definitely not too soon, I mean, this is already the second time we meet! Plus it's not like I'm going to ruin the surprise for anyone :P

posting this one as well

Well, that was fast service. Do you like, work in a pizza place of something. 30 minutes delivery or it's free?

I asked for this

Strawberry Corkscrew Drink
Watermelon Blended Smoothie
Survival Bouquet of Orange Lillies

Oh, and what did I get Kinnon? I guess you'll have to ask him!
You can dial YLANA1 for that.

If you want to go back to wee Octave, it's YLANA3.

And finally, I don't think you talked to the good doctor yet, right? You have to dial YLANA2 for that. So, whoever you're choosing, hopefully they're going to give you decent information.

Oh yes, I think I might want to dial YLANA3 then and try my luck.

"Hey Doctor, any interesting news?"

you have engaged conversation with lyra, octave



You're looking for the Doc? Sorry, wrong number!

connection ended

SORRY , SHE SAID THEM OUT OF ORDER

because i totally forgot about the doc myself.

don't worry, if anyone just wants to ask the doc questions, just do it. ;)

<p>Should I? Really, I didn&;t give her my gift yet! How can I be sure you won&;t babble ;)</p>
<p>Just teasing you.</p>
<p>I got Karen, our officer-in-second. Captain Uptight herself, haha! I hope she is going to love it.</p>
<p>I guess you could talk to her, or something. As long as you don&;t tell her I picked her. This is all hush-hush. ;) You have to dial LUDOVIC1 for that.</p>
<p>By now, you know what the other options are, do you. LUDOVIC2 for Elodie and LUDOVIC3 for Chaka. ;)

Psh, I'm like, the most trustworthy person around here! :P I bet you're glad everyone asked for specific things, imagine if there wasn't a list to go by and you ended up buying something she hated?! GOSH. Lists are so convenient, some people can be really hard to please. xD

I thiink I'll check her out, maybe she could help me a little bit too! DON'T WORRY. YOUR SECRET IS SAFE... FOR NOW -mwahah- xD /goes with LUDOVIC1

[edit] PFF EVIL GIFT I SAY! no need to send expensive things la la la

I sadly have to sleep early today but ;-; at least one bit of the conversation I can post!

<p>Oh. Been a while. You&;re lucky to catch me tonight, you know. I&;m not one to loaf around, unlike most of my underlings.</p>
<p>Someone has to hold the whip, if you pardon the expression. But really, at times, I do not know how they manage to survive. Oddballs, they are.</p>
<p>So, what is the reason of your presence, this time?

Hey! Haha, well, I understand there must be a lot of things to check around if the ship is to be kept working as it should. As long as there's a little bit of time to relax, enforcing standards is a good thing! c:

But since we're talking about getting a bit of free time, I heard there's a little gift exchanging going on between all of you! I thought I could get some nice gifting ideas if I asked around a little bit ^-^ Did you manage to get a break from your duties to join them and shop for fancy gifts for your partner?

I'm not updating with anything tonight, so now is a good opportunity to go and catch up.

A good clue I can give people is START BY THE END. Read the most recent posts and go backwards. A lot of people are getting lost because they're trying to catch up from page 1 to page 3, and I'm going to tell you that the most recent information will always, always be the most relevant one.

Also yolo , I do what I want.

SPOILER (click to toggle)

HEY. HOW YOU'VE BEEN

JUST WAN...I mean, just wanted to give you a little thanks for all you've done for me. I mean, I'm not done yet, but obviously, I'm waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better off than I originally was, and I'm sure it's all thanks to you guys. Like, 300% to 400% sure.

Yeah, I know it's a big job and...you just have to seize the moment. Something Diem. I think it has something to do with a fish. Tuna Diem? Yeah, probably.

NO WAIT. Carpe Diem. That's what I was thinking about. Why was I thinking about tuna, again?

Anyway. Thanks so much for everything. I know it's a lot of job, but that's why I didn't want to go and throw myself all alone in that.

You're the best, thanks so much

Haha, Carp Diem then! Glad that the others and me are some good help for you! My pleasure! C:

Thanks so much for the sweetheart exchange message! It was so damn cute!

Thank you!

The list of gifters growing still Some gaps appear, we've yet to fill

And is the question going round Quite if the Doc will see us now?

Connect and dial and speak again To move us forward in this game!
