( perpetually: no c':

but (un)successfully repressed trauma aside, she loves this small stuffed jellyfish, and gives him another experimentally tight hug before texting back. )

He is pretty cool, isn't he?

And of course he's happy. Why wouldn't he be?

( it's not like she can KILL a STUFFED ANIMAL yanno. )

Thank you, Mizuki. He's a really nice gift.

[mooninthewater]

no reason!

and anytime!!!
expect more gifts later, even!
well, 1 more gift.
u cant know what it is tho sry :P

[skaikru]

You don't need to give me anything, Mizuki. I don't need presents.

( like she's not low key itching at the prospect of mystery and surprise. )

[mooninthewater]

well duh!!!!
i know i dont *need* 2
but i wanna!!!
💖

[skaikru]

( pffffft. )

Why, though?

I don't have anything to give you in return.

[mooninthewater]

i dont rly want anything tho
nothing u could give me at least
unless u suddenly have a gourmet kitchen and ingredients
in which case, stop holding out on me rn clarke!!!!! 🔫

but rly its just bc i want 2!!

[skaikru]

If I ever figure out where the kitchens are... or if there even are kitchens here, you'll be the first to know.

But, even if I can't give it to you, what is it you want?

[mooninthewater]

aside from a gourmet kitchen?
hmm
id like to make ppl smile!!
but thats not rly a gift u can give :P
unless i make u smile!!!!
but i dont want it to be forced or anything like that

[skaikru]

( ...this doesn't feel like it should count, but it's the easiest thing she can offer him so — )

I'm smiling at Jake in my lap right now. Not forced or anything. I just love him.

Does that work?

[mooninthewater]

[ Well, it's not what he meant, that's for sure. But he's not going to tell her that, if only because the text makes him smile, too, all the same. ]

it does!!!!
ty ty this is definitely the best gift i could get
( •̀ ω •́ )✧

[skaikru]

I literally didn't do anything but okay.

( and yanno what actually — )

Does it have to be a full kitchen? Or could you settle for a fire, steak, and a couple packets of salt and pepper from the buffet?

( cooking is cooking, right? )

[mooninthewater]

i could work w that, i suppose
im best w fresh ingredients, but… well… obvs thats not happening lol
but can we start a fire? i assumed fires would just be put out on making

[skaikru]

Yeah, Friday might show up to tell us off and try to put it out with a fire extinguisher. But maybe we get three steaks, and invite her to join us instead.

[mooninthewater]

can she eat w/out a mouth?
(is that offensive to ask?)
i like ur thinking tho
she might enjoy being a part of a little picnic w us if nothing else!!

[skaikru]

Maybe don't ask her that outright. It doesn't matter if she can't eat right? It's the idea of including her with the rest of us.

Like why you made her that card.

[mooninthewater]

fair!!! ok, we can absolutely do that, then!
it won't quuuiiiite be the same
but it'll do 4 now!!!
( •̀ ω •́ )y
at least until i can get a nice kitchen and maybe a pond full of fish
that would be so fun!!

[skaikru]

I...wouldn't hold your breath for that Mizuki. But it's nice to dream, right?

And cool. I'll ask Friday about raw steaks. If she can get us things we don't even ask for, there's got to be a way to put in a formal request right?

[mooninthewater]

well, obvs im not gonna expect it anytime soon
but maaaayyyybe at some point~? who knows!

i asked her for confetti cannons and she gave them to me pretty willingly when i told her why i needed them.
so i think if we ask and just say "a picnic" then that should work just fine.

[skaikru]

A picnic?

( she's never had a picnic. decidedly, squatting down beside a camp fire and eating undercooked irradiated panther meat quick as one could stomach in case a new threat manifested in the treeline didn't count as a picnic. )

Like with a blanket and everything?
That's... so cute actually.
Maybe I'll ask for a basket and stuff too. What else do you take on a picnic?


...wait, what cannons?

[mooninthewater]

yeah! i think itd be fun
uhh, i dont know! its been forever since ive had a picnic
blanket and basket seems 2 be about all u rly need

confetti cannons! u know. cannons that fire out confetti??

[skaikru]

No, I got that part.

What purpose do they serve though?

[mooninthewater]

theyre just fun!!!! and they make a good impression!

[skaikru]

Canons always make a big impression, I guess.

( good? tbd. )

What are you going to do with them?

[mooninthewater]

did. what i did w them.
i dont have them anymore

it was smth romantic dont worry!! i didnt use them to prank any1 or smth like that

[skaikru]

Oh, I must have missed the sound of explosions. ( does clarke know how to lol? idk yet but the vibe is there. )

Did you...leave the desired big impression?
