Soleil? It's Cleo. I apologize for bothering you out of the blue like this, but... I need advice, and I couldn't think of anyone better for it. Are you busy right now?
[Hey guess what? It's time for that coffee that you promised, Soleil. and Pen definitely has something to talk to you about, anyway. Weirdly it's right up your alley.
So, arranging that takes no time at all, and Pen will arrive at the place they agreed to meet just a few minutes late. She's not exactly dressed up. Just jeans and a hoodie with the words My Brain Has Too Many Tabs Open written in bold script, while carrying knobbed blackthorn cane in her hand. Spinning it as she walks up, she grins.]
[This frankly is out of left field for her. Soleil suspects something is up, but she has no idea what. Why would Pen accept her offer now after so long?]
Oh, just a few years. No big.
[Soleil is feeling extra girly today and has come in a poofy pink skirt, stockings, and a white blouse. Her hair is up in a ponytail. She holds the door to the coffee shop open.]
[ It's been a fairly uneventful weekend, which is a nice reprieve from how crazy everything had become in October. Orihime has had a lot to think about regarding ghosts and aliens, and not in the ways she might entertain an intergalactic hell battle between them normally, but real, concrete and strange ways. Too much...
Her sleep had been a little restless at first because of it, but eventually she hit the hay hard enough for her alarm to have to rouse her in the morning. Groggily, Orihime rolls over and slaps around the nightstand for her alarm clock. ]
Mmmmmm...
[ Sorry, little birdy, you're getting hit!
She yawns, forcing herself upright and stretches. ]
[Soleil is too busy sleeping face down with at least seven stuffed animals strewn over her to get herself out of bed. She is not a morning person and no matter how cute Orihime's alarm clock is, it isn't enough to get her out of bed. The princess herself may be enough, but it will take a while.]
[Well. Soleil is confused, but intrigued. She can't fathom what the key could be to. The location means nothing to her, which makes it all the more confusing. She heads straight there, though.
And once she discovers her ridiculous Christmas present, she immediately texts Vera.]
[IT DOESN'T MATTER THAT SHE DOESN'T KNOW SOLEIL'S ADDRESS SHE'LL TRACK HER DOWN.
And once she does she has a courier deliver a present so it won't go astray. Though the present itself is fairly small, containing about ten or so milk chocolates. Nothing too fancy.
The only indicator of who it's from is the attached tag.]
Thanks.
-A.
[She can pretend it's a secret admirer if that makes her happier.
But Aki wanted to display a little gratitude, feeling the coffee was kind of meaningless since there was no taste.]
Ann? No, Ann would have eaten the chocolates herself.
Amanda? Nah, she wouldn't thank Soleil for anything.
Soleil goes through her entire mental list of all the many girls she knows whose name begins with A and while it may be only 1 letter of the alphabet, do you know how many girls she has known???
Soliel! I'm so glad that we're roommates and that we're friends! Coming to Recolle University could have been a scary experience, but you helped make sure it wasn't. Penelope was the only person I knew when I came into town, but I was so lucky to meet you! I can't wait for all the fun we're going to have in 2018.
no? i mean i havent remembered anything from my past life like that...at least i hope not
[She has remembered two men, one older than her and kind of a nerd, and the other...well, not her type, even though he would be the type of literally every girl.]
i love a lot of people...but im not the type people fall in love with but if youre looking for something serious i'm available??

How would you like to help us help you out? Your observation period's up and I want you on this particular assignment. You'll be fine, you're probably not going to die, and we'll be able to monitor you from here. We need help. You've got the skills needed even if you don't know it yet. I know it and that's what counts.
You'll be working with a group (wish I could give you the names, still putting the lists together), but your assignment partner is Vera Weisz. Should you choose to accept this assignment, you will need to meet at the Recollé Zoo and Aquarium and we'll go from there.
You'll be rewarded for your success, of course, but this is only if we have an agreement. Do we have an agreement?
[No other messages will be sent from this account at this time.]
[ooc: Hello! You've been sorted into group 4. Your event log will go up at 9pm EST along with all of the other logs. We encourage you to read the main event log as well for more information about your recruiter and this note. In the meantime, head over to this thread on the latest mod post and meet your teammates. Thank you!]
[Sometime during the 3rd, Soleil will receive a delivery. In a box are 5 carefully wrapped burgers, a dozen rice crackers, and a gallon's worth of fruit juice - separated into 4 quart-sized bottles for convenience. All items have been packed in a way that'd be helpful for travel.
True to the advertisement, the burgers sparkle and the rice crackers and juice shimmers, with or without a light source.
When eaten, they taste delicious! The burgers taste like something out of a quality restaurant, and the juice and rice crackers taste like a wonderful homemade meal.
Eating a burger provides the following effects:
A medium amount of instantaneous healing (from bruises to sprains, deep cuts and torn muscle)
A small amount of magical energy is restored (for non-magic users, they don't notice this)
Eating a rice cracker provides the following effects:
A medium amount of instantaneous healing (from bruises to sprains, deep cuts and torn muscle)
A 25% increase of physical and magic defense for 3 hits. This might affect pain tolerance or how much damage they take from a blow - interpret it as you wish! After 3 hits, the effect will wear off, or it will also wear off naturally after 3 hours.
Drinking a cup of fruit juice provides the following effects:
A small amount of instantaneous healing (from bruises, cuts, general soreness)
Cures any light-headedness or faintness.
Soleil can do as she'd like with the food. The magical effects will last until the food becomes unsafe to eat.
Along with the food, is a small thank you card with a quick explanation of the effects closing out with "Have a safe trip! Enjoy! :)"
If interested in making more orders, they can be done so here!]
