>> Are you today's date?

>> How are you handling all of this?

>> So I had an idea
>> After the trial is over
>> What do you all say to having a group dinner at my parents' house?
>> My mom would love the excuse to cook for people
>> And my dad will hug everyone to death
>> If you let him


[Separate texts to Ilia]

>> I was talking with Weiss
>> And she brought up the idea of all of us taking a vacation after the trial is done
>> As a sort of place to go to unwind after all of this crap
>> Would you be interested in going?

It's a medium sized package, which when opened reveals a carefully packed crate filled with a set of four stoneware tea cups of Japanese design, along with a tea pot and some other necessary pieces. The set appears to be authentic, and is packed with old Japanese newspapers.

Some packets of various Asian style teas are also packed in the box. A note reads:

We've barely gotten to know each other on a more personal level, so I am... not entirely confident how this gift will be received. I had my Great Aunt help me pick it out, and I hope you won't find it too presumptuous or... culturally incorrect in some way.

But I wanted to celebrate the fact that you're in the world, and I hope that the next year sees us sharing more of our stories, our time, and perhaps even some of this tea together.

Thank you for your part in everything that was done for me and Elsa.

Weiss

>> How are you?

>> I'm
>> A little worried


Anna
>> I was at lunch with a friend and had this chocolate fudge monstrosity of a cake
>> And I thought you'd really like it
>> My treat?


Ruby

>> Can I ask you something?
>> You don't have to betray any confidences
>> but how is Weiss doing really?


Ozma

>> I already told Weiss I was worried but
>> what if her father gets off the hook?

>> I was going to send it tomorrow-
>> It already is tomorrow, so I suppose this works just as well.
I can't sleep--
>> We have a date for the trial

We should do something of the non-training variety! Suggestions, go!

>> I think I'm developing a crush on my new roommate and I really don't need this

>> So you've got a blind date Friday night
>> You're welcome


Text to Katniss


>> So did you survive the Porgpocalypse?

So I've been thinking. Given Orange County is...well, Orange County. It would be good for us all to start training together again now that things have settled down. Set aside a day once a week that works for everyone, etc. It's not Remnant but we should still be prepared for whatever gets thrown at us given how many things have crossed over and the variety of it all.

>> I was off taking care of something this weekend
>> And I realised I missed your birthday.
>> I have something for you.
>> And... do you want a cake, or did Ruby and your dad already do that?

>> Got any plans tonight?
>> I've learned a trick I want to show you

I don't know how I'm supposed to
Your father took so much from

You did good up there.

We should all go ice skating next weekend! I mean it doesn't have to be ice skating, but yes!

Sent in the evening on 1/27

>> Do you have a second?

Private Message to Ilia Amitola
You have no reason to respond to this considering the history we have here and I think likely in the dreams, too, though I haven't met you there yet.

But I wanted to thank you for doing what I couldn't. And for securing all of that evidence. The Schnee name will mean next to nothing when this is all over, and that's how it should be.

Private Message to Feyre Archeron
Father is going to prison. A lot of things are in motion, now, and one of them should be a lifting of the blacklist he put on your family. I just... thought you should know.

I was reading through some of your posts while I was locked away. I'd really like to talk to you in person sometime.

Texts to Amycus
>> There's...
>> A LOT we need to talk about.

Texts to Ozma
>> You don't know me well, but I wanted to personally thank you.
>> Elsa might have been able to save herself, but-
>> ... Still, thank you.

Texts to Ruby and Yang
>> Please thank your Uncle for me.
>> And...
>> Well, I need to answer this text from Elsa
>> But depending on how that goes I may need to ...
>> Couch surf, indefinitely.
>> Do you think your father would mind?

>> He's taking-

>> The dog barks at midnight

>> Uh
>> Do you want me to come over?

To Elsa
>> So, what are you doing this weekend?

Later, Text to Yang
>> Help

( Private message to Weiss )

To Blake
>> So I know it took me a very long time for this.
>> But I finally dreamed about the Battle.
>> The one at Beacon, I mean.
>> And...
>> I won't pretend our situations are exactly the same.
>> But you know you can talk to me, I hope.
>> Ruby gave me your number, she told me I should reach out.
>> Well... she told me that about a month ago, actually.
>> We're teammates there, but I hope we can figure out how to be friends.

To Elsa
>> Try not to freeze this Rita woman solid.
>> I highly doubt there is any such proof in her hands or anyone else's.
>> But are you... okay?

Check in. Everyone okay and staying safe out there?

It's 3am and Yang's scroll is beeping...

> Yang
> are you there?
> are you awake
> tell me you're awake

>> Are you alone?
>> Or busy?

Ren and I made cookies with the tree sap from Forever Fall, so I made packages of them for each of you!

Hey guys, it's Valentine's day and... it doesn't have to just be about couples, or relationships. Friendships, right, that's a kind of love? So I'm thinking of all of you, I thought I'd just say. I appreciate that you exist, or in some cases that scorpion poison men didn't kill you, and... stuff like that. I hope you're having an awesome day! You should come down to Emerald City sometime today, I'll buy each of you a drink!

[Pyrrha]
So uhm... uh... hi. This one's just us now, but... I dreamed a lot. Sorry I didn't say something sooner, but we're partners and we should talk more, right? We should be friends.

[Weiss]
Do you maybe want to catch a movie or something? I just thought I'd ask. You never say yes in the dreams, but- Oh wait are you even dreaming yet?

[This message is sent before she gets hit with an arrow on the 14th, at around the exact time of posting. Also mention of injury in the comments.]

I don't normally message people in the middle of the night, but this is... possibly an emergency and you did say I could come to you if I ever needed help.

So... I need help.

Is everyone okay and get through all of that? Did anyone else see the embryos and now feathers or is that just

>> So I'm in the hospital
>> Dreamt of Beacon getting attacked
>> Adam, my ex, was there
>> I confronted him
>> Let's just say I was on the losing side
>> And woke up with the injury this morning


[Texts to Yang]

I'm so sorry
It's my fault
How can you still look at me after that?

>> Um. So. I dreamt about the attack on Beacon this morning
>> I'm in the hospital
>> But before you come charging down here
>> I'm not ready to see you in person
>> I'm having a lot of anxiety problems after the dream

Ruby

>> So Weiss has settled in. And Li and Ahsoka found a place
>> So there's room. And it's closer to the college
>> You could totally do bunk beds with Weiss or me!
>> I mean there's only 3 bedrooms and I want Blake to move in too
>> And I think she'd feel better having her own room since I don't think she'd want to room with me anyway


Blake

>> So we've got a room with your name on it
>> If you want it.
>> Weiss is moved in!
>> Ahsoka and Li moved out!
>> Gonna drag my sister in too
>> If she wants.
>> It's close to the college!
>> And no more having to come home to one of Logan's girlfriends?
>> I'm single, Ruby is clueless and Weiss is hopeless

Weiss

>> How would you feel about a bunkbed with Ruby?

What day is
How long was I
I'm sorry

Is everyone okay? Or as okay as possible?
