⛧ 002; VIDEO

[contactsports]

[ The camera turns on to show Zelda sitting at a desk. The desk is a disaster zone - on top of it sits a half-unwrapped gift box. The crumpled paper is covered with neon green hearts, and sitting next to it is a teddy bear. The bear is completely water-logged, once white but now half-brown with dirt and what is probably mold. It's holding a half-ripped satin heart that has Russian lettering on it. For anyone who can read it, it will translate to 'You are mine.' (Romantic or sinister? Who knows?)

There's also glitter everywhere. Stuck to the poor, gross bear, hanging in Zelda's hair, spread all over the desk. It's like a unicorn threw up on her.

She stares into the camera for a long, lingering moment, taking a slow drag from the cigarette between her fingers before she sets in down in the ashtray out of frame. Then, she reaches into the box and pulls out a slinky pink pair of lacy underwear, pinched between her thumb and forefinger like it's a dirty sock she doesn't really want to touch.

Zelda stares flatly into the camera for another moment before she finally speaks. ]

Would anyone like to explain themselves?

Yikes. That seems...a bit much.

Good luck with the glitter part of it by the way. That stuff is impossible to get rid of completely.

[contactsports]

Just a bit. I can't imagine whoever sent this thought it had any chance of winning my affection.

[ She's pretty sure even magic won't be enough to get all that glitter out. ]

[pocketfulof]

I think those kinds of gifts are meant for people you're already in a relationship with?

Can't say I can see the appeal either way, though.

[The herpes of craft supplies. You'll be finding it in random places for months.]

I don't know what's creepier, the underwear or the message on the heart.

[Russia, being one of the countries the Reptilians were manipulating for their invasion, was a required language for Jonathan to learn before coming to Earth.]

[contactsports]

I would venture to say both. The underwear is utterly lurid, but the message is... disturbing, to say the least. And now in a good way.

[ Maybe it's badly translated and supposed to be a nice message? Unlikely. ]

[drivesadesk]

Any idea who would have done something like that?

[Gabriel looks a bit better but also winces when he sees that. Also he is totally oblivious.]

I thought that the custom was to send chocolates? Even if from unsavory individuals. That does not look like something someone woulds end to honor the holiday.

[contactsports]

[ Zelda is not so oblivious. Lilith had told her everything. Her tone is cold. ]

I doubt their intent was to honor anything. If it was, it was quite miscalculated.

[privatepurchases]

[Ah. well.]

I've learned something then. Thank you for the instruction.

[ Conner stares. And blinks, a lot. ]

Wow. That's uhm... I know a good cleaning service. Because... er. yes.

[ Wow. And he thought he had weird fans. ]

[contactsports]

I'm open to suggestions.

[ She needs it. There is no magic that can fix this. ]

[callmesuperboy]

Here.

[ And he sends the service's number. ]

They're very good at getting any stain out. I'm a model and some of the stuff I have had to have cleaned out is... yes.

They can get it clean if anyone can.

[ He hopes. ]

[softheartedshizun]

You may have a serial killer admirer?

[contactsports]

One would hope. It would be far more interesting than simply a misjudgment of what a woman expects from such a gift.

[softheartedshizun]

I can't imagine even the most clueless of people would find that appropriate. I would not even picture demons doing such a thing, and their ideas are quite... strange to say the least.

[mysterioisthetruth]

I didn't send that.

[contactsports]

Mark one of the list then. Although admission of guilt would be more useful.

[ Then at least she'd know who to curse. ]

[viciousmaukery]

Not me, but if you don't want it, I'd certainly be happy to take the panties off your hands. [A pause.] Although the bear's beyond saving.

[contactsports]

Why in Heaven would you want such a thing?

( video )

[sathan]

At least your admirer didn't hope that it would poison you.

( she jests given that her gift is no better. lilith didn't eat the chocolates, burning them instantly.

she does bring her hand into the video though, slight gesture of her fingers and zelda will find some of the glitter mysteriously gone )

[contactsports]

[ Zelda glances around, relieved. She doubts magic will clean up all this mess, but ancient magic certainly helps. ]

I take it you were delivered more than a plush threat?

[cantgetanyworse]

Oh... goodness. That's very...

[Say something nice.]

... Unusual. Someone must be trying to make an impression.

[contactsports]

If so, they were successful. But perhaps not in the way they'd hoped.

[anormie]

Wow. Someone got you good with a glitter grenade huh? Who did you tick off?

[contactsports]

I didn't tick anyone off, as far as I'm aware. I'll have you know I am always polite and pleasant.
