IC Valentines 2016!

TO: Iliril of the Chant
MESSAGE: (Included with the note is a large round box of fancy chocolates.)

I've been trying to figure out how to apologize, because me - the other me - was rude. It's kind of weird to apologize for something you didn't do, but it's also kind of something I did do - you know, in the future.
Someone said I should get you chocolates, so I got you this one to apologize, but I read up and I think they thought you were my girlfriend. I guess 'Iliril' doesn't read as a masculine name here.

You should have the chocolates anyway, and I'm going to try and make sure that the other me isn't rude again.

I don't think it'll work.

TO: Alex Drakenhardt
MESSAGE: The king's gift is a well-crafted box with a trace of his fiancee's scent. The outside feels feathery. Inside is....freshly baked desserts?! The queen managed to bake something. Thankfully it's delicious and has a good presentation. She probably got help from Marduk or Ioelena. There is a card on top of the box. The words are written in beautiful script. They look like English's equivalent to Japanese calligraphy.

To my future husband and the father of my child,

I expect a wonderful date with you today, but I still wanted to show my appreciation. You are an incredible man. From the day I met you on this island, you have been nothing but loving and helpful. While you do not say much, your actions speak much louder than words. I never need to question your devotion when you go out of your way to show that you love me. I only wish that I could do more for you. Then I realize that I should do this by being the best wife, queen, and mother for our family.

And though I do not have your last name yet, I am proud to call myself a Drakenhardt.

Forever Yours,
Cecete Drakenhardt
FROM: Cecete

***

TO: Gwynny
MESSAGE: A large box decorated in blood crystals arrives. Inside is a massive cake with many layers of different types of chocolate. Whipped cream serves as the outer rim decoration at the bottom and top of the cake. The words "I love you, Gwynny!" is written in whipped cream and has a pair of cherries next to "Gwynny". Speaking of cherries, the entire outside of the cake is decorated in cherry-flavored heart-shaped candies. There's also candy embedded within the many layers of cake. Whoever eats just a single bite of this will get a massive sugar high. It of course comes with a card, and it's a pink card with red lettering. It has nice penmanship.

Dear Gwynny,

I loooove you! Please promise you won't eat the whole cake in one sitting? It's sooo much sugar! But I had to add lots and lots of sugar for the sweetest boyfriend EVER! Gwyn Drakenhardt, you are amazing! You have done sooo much for me these past several months! I have no idea how I'll ever repay your kindness. So I'll just spoil you with sweets! <3

Love you!

Hugs and Kisses,
Aricia

P.S. I got some more sugar for you later if you'd like~ ;D
FROM: Aricia Draganarakta

***

TO: Alaric
MESSAGE: A super expensive silver and red box arrives. Inside is a well-organized set of chocolates with a card made of the finest stationery. All but the signature is typed out in a gorgeous script font. The card and the box have the Draganarakta clan's symbol embroiled on it.

To My Eldest Brother,

It's nice being able to send you one of these after so long. Do you remember how our parents hosted banquets from time to time? Didn't one of our uncles get drunk and lit the cake on fire one year? I also remember that year dragon slayers tried to crash the party. Their blood matched the decorations so well!

I know I already expressed this, but thank you for the private celebration on my birthday. It was nice just having the two of us relax and be siblings. Those parties can get exhausting!

Have a wonderful Valentine's Day!

Love,
Your Little Sister

P.S. You might want to check your room.

Inside his room is a seven course meal served by a giant magical red and white teddy bear. It does in fact include unicorn steak along with all kinds of rare, decadent foods. There's even a separate dessert platter of different expensive treats at the end.
FROM: Aricia Draganarakta

***

TO: Alex Drakenhardt
MESSAGE: The gift is a red and white penguin holding a box of chocolates. A small note is attached to the box.

This might be a little weird since you're with Cecete and I'm with Gwynny, but I just wanted to give you something to show my appreciation with how you've helped me with my laundry list of problems. I really appreciate it, so please enjoy the chocolate! And oh, I picked the penguin because you like birds and Julio is a firebird and fire is red! You and Cecete have a good day!

Sincerely,
Aricia

TO: Lear Clover
MESSAGE: Fine chocolate filled with caramel from Belgium is inside of a beautiful ivory heart-shaped box wrapped in fine Italian silk. There is a poem written on parchment in place of a card.

Cold be my scowl,
Harsh be my glare,
My heart warms for you.

Dull be my words,
Quiet be my tongue,
I write love for you.

When alone, I long
For those golden scales
And the warm embrace your arms give.

They are my source of comfort.
Your words are my source of joy.
Your three kisses are my source of love.

Please be cheerful, my love.
The Sun cannot match your smiles.

Please be here, my love.
Nothing matches your presence.

MESSAGE: The butler will receive a pink and white cake with hearts drawn in whipped cream on it. The name "Marduk" was written on the top of it with a heart underneath, all in whipped cream once more. A note is attached to the cake box. The handwriting's shaky and big as if written by a child.

Thank you for everything!

Love, Lena

Love,

***

TO: Kenrick Drakenhardt
MESSAGE: A box filled with red crystal cakes arrive. Inside the cakes are a shiny, white filling that surely make the name "crystal cake" understandable. While obviously not pearls or at all made of gems, it certainly gives the impression of ruby cakes filled with pearls. Attached is a letter written in Chinese and on a stationery that has a sweet blossom smell to it.

To my protector Kenrick,

You are a wonderful man and a strong guardian. May your Valentine's Day and New Year be filled with love and success.

Love You Sincerely,
Xia
FROM: Xia Zhujiang

TO: Papa
MESSAGE: Donny's favorite snack is inside of a festive bag. There is a handwritten letter attached to the bag. On the other side of the letter is a skilled sketch of Alice and Donny smiling towards the viewer. Donny is affectionately ruffling the girl's hair.

Papa,

You found me when I was cold and bloody out in the streets. You gave me a home. You nursed me back to health. You brought me hope. I thought adults were selfish creatures; people wiling to use others for their desires. While there are still those assholes out in the world, you're not one of them.

You are the best father I could ever ask for.

Happy Valentine's Day,
Alice

TO: Ignus Honey
MESSAGE: A bouquet of everlasting fire flowers and a note in pink stationery is sent.

I was going to write you a poem, but every attempt came out way too cheesy, even for a love witch like me. What I really want to tell you is that I love you. I'm blessed to have you in my life. You protect me every day and battle at least three exes every other day. You do so much to ensure I'm safe and warm. You're even taking me out on a date this very day, knowing how special it is to me. Even if you act grumpy a lot, I can tell what you're truly feeling just by looking at you. You make me realize what true happiness is.

You are my true love.

Forever yours,
Harm Charms

Dear Danny,

Congratulations! Yes, I know I told you this before, but seriously! It's awesome that you're on the Student Council now! I just wish it didn't make you so busy. I should pit the blame on myself though. I do have three different clubs after all. We should talk, okay? Your gifts are wonderful, but I do need time with my boyfriend. No item can replace you.

Love,
Mochi

TO: Gabriel Baltimore

MESSAGE: Haaappy Valentines Day! I'm sure this will get lost in all the other things you're getting, but nonetheless, I'm still going to add to the pile. However silly it might be, somehow, I don't think you'll mind.

Anyway, I'm fond of you, and these funny little holidays, so combining those two sentiments is appealing. I'm not too good at the usual, hm, romantic words? Even though it'd probably be entertaining to see my attempts at them, in a comedic way. So I got together some gifts instead.

This cutesy card was sent along with a container of weird Eldritch themed chocolates (and some interesting flavors), a strange artifact with glowing catlike eyes (very carefully and specially wrapped up, with warning labels on them), and a small notebook with translations of certain texts about creatures and power from other realms. The notebook has lots of doodles of hearts along with the sinister information.

FROM: Basil Velius

***

TO: Chloe Black

MESSAGE: Hello Chloe! We're not romantically entangled, that would perhaps be considered an awkward development, but I still think of you as one of my cutest demon friends. Celebrate your cuteness today, because I'll definitely be doing so! I got you some things. (If you don't like the edible one, give it back to me, I'll absolutely eat it.)

This card has a very cute cartoon devil on the front. Along it is a bag of gummy candy, in the shape and design of little green alien faces, octopi, and eyes. There's a nicely wrapped package as well, and in it, a weird book with 'empty' pages- a little challenge courtesy of a paranoid writer.

TO: Anh Sang

MESSAGE: Hey baby sister and president. Hope you're having a nice v-day. Tell me if any kids are too pushy with their valentines, I'll come give them a talking to. Let's hang out again soon.

FROM: Anonymous (Milo Constantin)

***

TO: Jack

MESSAGE: Yes. That's right. Valentines Day, what a funny joke, it's my name, etcetera etcetera. Let's move on from that, because it gets old very quickly.

I don't need a holiday for an excuse to say I love you, that you're special, or to spend time with you and give you gifts. However, I'll remind you of those things, and partake in such activities anyway, because why would I turn that down? I'm always looking for opportunities to show my gratitude and feelings.

You've cleared a fog from my life that's been blinding me for a very long time. I can finally move forward. I can never say thank you enough, but I can try, and only hope to make it up to you. No matter how much effort and time it takes, since I plan to never leave your side, never stop caring. I'm gushing, aren't I? It's hard to help, and even this much leaves me flustered.

I love you. I'll see you today, of course, and I'm sure this is only the start of my embarrassed and overwhelmed emotional state. You're skilled at bringing that out, even if I fight it. I don't fight it anymore. I don't want to.

Unmistakably, unashamedly yours, Val

A spiders scrawl letter on expensive paper, very properly done. There's a package with one painting, and it's a very unusually soft piece of Valentine and Jack. The scene is a lazy warm day in a shady, comfortable resting area of the Crowther gardens. Valentine is relaxed and settled on Jack's lap, nuzzling him gently while Jack grins like the sun, every one of his features painted endearingly and with care. It's painfully sentimental, and very far from the artist's usual. On the back, it says 'to my most loved'.

FROM: Valentine Crowther

***

TO: Vincenzo Maria Fontana

MESSAGE: Salutations, my dearest friend. My best wishes to you, even if you don't enjoy this holiday. Or, perhaps, you like the history? A conversation topic for another time. A fan of not, I had my eye on these while thinking of you for a while, and additionally included a painting.

Let's have tea later this week, if you aren't still busy. I'd love to see you wearing one of my gifts.

Included with the note is a package, containing as mentioned, a few pricey dresses from a rarer brand and a painting. The painting is of a feminine Vincenzo, oddly bubbly as well as darker, a lot of personality captured. She's charmingly distracted with reading a gorgeous old tome, and there's magic crackling in the air around her. The setting is the library of Crowther mansion.

FROM: Valentine Crowther

***

TO: Genevieve Pierce

MESSAGE: We should spend some time together. Talk business and, I suppose, pleasure.

You know, I've been wondering lately, if my attraction to you counts as an ethics violation. I am your boss, after all. Isn't that amusing? I think so.

Have a nice... I'm not going to say it. You'd likely joke about this, too. So, have a nice day. Kiss a pretty girl for me.

I also predict that if you send me anything for this at all, it'll be something at least vaguely mean spirited, so I'm going to beextra nice.

Along with this note is a package containing an annoyingly cheerful and condescending anger self help book, expensive chocolates, and candy. There's also an overdramatic bouquet and teddy bear. There's a smaller, more hidden away package within the big one, containing a specially made weapon.

FROM: Valentine Crowther

***

TO: Lei Feng

MESSAGE: It's an envelope with pictures of mansions inside in different, attractive looking locations. On the backs of the pictures are little details about where they are. There's a note to go along with it.

So I was thinking. If you have time, would you want to take off on a weekend getaway with me? If it's too much, you don't have to, but these empty vacation houses have to be used somehow,right? And it just being us for a while is always nice.

There's a large package to go along with this, within which is an oversized fluffy sheep plush, printed out selfies that were taken on dates, and homemade food.

MESSAGE: Heeeey my platonic bro. My bffsie. My dude, my man, my heterosexual life partner.

Just kidding! I'm gay as hell and we're getting married.

Uh, damn, it's really hard to up my game after your anniversary gift and the whole engaged thing, but this is our first v-day officially together, and that… means a lot. It's another milestone, one of the first of many to come, right? Yeah. I'm looking forward to all of it, ridiculously giddy. I feel way younger, and like we still have a chance at this. I know we do. Almost feel like I really do deserve it, too, after putting myself down for so long.

Anyway, I'll uh… I'll save the real sappy shit and enthusiasm for in person stuff, haha.

I love you. Thank you for loving me too, I couldn't ask for anything more in life.

You probably don't even register what today is, but whatever. I got you some chocolate and stuff, please accept this platonic affection sentiment as it comes from deep within my heart.

MESSAGE: It's that time of year again, and that means my anticipated Valentines sendout! As you all know, I have a lot of connections and relationships. So why not have a catch all card? It's tradition, now. God, I fucking love Valentines Day.

Within this envelope you'll find a number of goodies. Raffle signups, a newsletter, charming prose written by one of my bodyguards, upcoming events, pictures of me and my cute baby sisters, and more! Some of you might even get lucky and findmoney snuck in there! You're welcome.

For enemies, you can also find a paper with details on the hatemail contest. Whoever can be the most creative, spooky, etc, could win a chance to fight me in real life- and not have me make any snarky, baiting remarks while it's happening! Tempting, isn't it? May the best loser win!

Love, Klaus Rosales

TO: Gabriel Baltimore

MESSAGE: An amount of stuff delivered to outdo all else. There's treasures, books, and magical artifacts from Klaus' vaults and smuggled in recently from elsewhere. There also happens to be… a rose flower crown, and a t-shirt that says 'gay demon' on it. There's a note along with this.

I know what you're thinking. And don't worry. I have a matching shirt that says 'gayest demon' on it. Love you.

TO: Abia Defan

MESSAGE: So, just your every once in a while reminder that, like, I get the boy toy thing or whatever, but liiiiiiisten.

He doesn't need to know. We can be subtle. It's not that questionable, two important people spending a lot of quality, personal time together. Am I right, or am I right? Because I kinda think I'm super right.

You can't tell me you've never wanted to make out, not even a little. If we don't just do it there's going to be this obvious sexual tension forever, and we're going to explode or something. Which would really suck for you, seeing, well, you know. Haha.

Happy v-day, babe, ily. Enjoy my general valentines send out, too. Maybe you'd be interested in the hate mail contest.

TO: Neon

MESSAGE: It's a literal fucking crate full of Valentines Day chocolate. A crate. Klaus, what the hell? There's a bouquet of roses, and a note. It has a cutesy doodle of Neon and Klaus kissing, and a very short message.

I'm gay.

FROM: Klaus Rosales

***

TO: Jouka

MESSAGE: Hey Mochi's hair. I might be committed to Lei now, but I'll never forget our selfie exchanges. I printed some out for nostalgia.

Stay hot, and say hi to Mochi for me.

A note to go along with a cute box, tied up with a bow, full of the promised pictures of Jouka and Clarence. Mochi's hunk hair and the school king of popular rich kids texted back and forth, yep. It happened.

FROM: Clarence Crowther

***

TO: Ioelena Springscrub

MESSAGE: The papers included in the Valentines package are mostly pictures, little comics even, in Klaus' cutesy art style. They depict Klaus and Lena doing affectionate things, kissing, cuddling, going on different kinds of dates (rather specific, perhaps a suggestion/offer to later discuss?).

There's a note with some simple sentiments, to help with easy reading attempts.

Happy Valentines Day!

Love, Klaus

There's another huge bouquet of roses, rose themed jewelry, a dress, and a few boxes of different types of expensive, high quality candies and chocolate.

MESSAGE: Hey there sexy. Hope you're having a lovely Valentine's Day. Save a glass for me, *wink*.

FROM: Sherry Ultia

TO: Milk
MESSAGE: A whole bunch of meat buns were sent instead of candy or roses. They were in a really nice heart-shaped box. It was odd how presentable it was considering who it was from. There's a note attached to it. The words are readable chicken scratch to say the least.

Happy Valetine's Teach! Just wanted to give you something nice and all. Yea, you know, 'cause it's Valentine's Day. Yeah.

So uh have a good day and stuff.
FROM: Lexi

***

TO: Xander
MESSAGE: There is a box left for the twin. It's filled with messily made cookies of his favorite flavor. Clearly Lexi tried, but she's definitely not the chef. There isn't really much of a note. It's a simple "Happy Valentine's!" and Love, Lexi. Looks like she had problems articulating her appreciation to her brother.
FROM: Lexi

***

TO: Terri
MESSAGE: The vampire will receive a very expensive bottle of blood wine paired with a bouquet of chocolate roses. There was a note on the bouquet that was in beautiful script written on pink stationary. There was a sweet-smelling scent to the note.

Happy Valentine's Day Sweetheart! I love you so much! <3 You've been treating me like a queen, and I appreciate it greatly. I hope you enjoy the wine and roses. Then again, perhaps you'd enjoy the roses in a different manner knowing your peculiar sweet tooth.

Thinking of you,
Rachel

TO: My Beloved Wife
MESSAGE: The present is chocolates and catnip. It comes in a nice white and pink box. There is a letter attached to the box.

To My Dearest Wife,

You have brought joy to this battle-worn soldier's life and provided him with beautiful offspring. You work hard as an amazing housewife and mother. I want it to be clear that I love you very much, and I am blessed to have you on this mission with me. It is of utmost importance, and you have done your part. You are a wonderful meowl that all meowls should look up to. I hope you will enjoy the surprise I have planned for tonight's festivities.

Thank you and I love you.

***

TO: Headmistress Cordelia Moor
MESSAGE: Though the present comes in a heart-shaped box, this was clearly some kind of formal chocolate. It was not meant as a declaration of love, but some people may take it as that anyway. Even the tone of the card's message is very business despite the card itself being colorful and romantic.

Happy Valentine's Day

Please enjoy this holiday, Boss. You've more than earned it.

TO: Vegas
MESSAGE: I think that maybe it's time that I actually be honest with you and admit that I really do like you a lot, regardless of all the denial and the pranks. I really hope that it's just the paranoia telling me that this is a bad idea.

TO: Sebastian Grey
MESSAGE:

Love,

I can’t believe it’s almost been a year since we started dating. We’ve been through a lot. It would be a lie to say that it’s been smooth sailing. We don’t always get along. Our differences are loud and strong, and sometimes overwhelming. But I know, despite it all, it’s our love that helped us overcome it all, and that’s why we’re still here and together. Words can’t express the true depth of my feelings for you. You’re the light that illuminated the darkness in my life, and for that, I’m always, always thankful.

I hope 2016 is better and brighter. I hope we grow closer as lovers and as friends. I hope my next Valentine’s Day has you in it too.

Happy Valentine’s Day.

I love you.

P.S. Yes, yes, I know it’s silly that I’m giving you a letter when we’re literally roommates. Laugh all you want.

FROM: Hari Takahiro

TO: Clarence Crowther
MESSAGE:

With the letter is a heart-shaped, handmade patch that says “LF + CC” in their colors.

Clary,

This is gay because you’re gay. Put this on your jacket so you can show the world how gay you are.

Happy Valentine’s day!

I love you!

Best wishes.

TO: Everyone who hates Gabriel Baltimore
MESSAGE:

It’s a brown envelope. Inside is a picture of Gabriel Baltimore or whatever form he’s used to taunt that person, posing sexily on a bear skin rug, with a glass of wine in his hand.

Happy Valentine’s Day.

You must dislike me, but I’m still very fond. I’m sure we can settle our differences and try again. Come over to Gomorrah, I’ll buy you a drink.

Best wishes.

FROM: Gabriel Baltimore



TO: Chloe Black

MESSAGE:

It’s a delivery of condoms, makeup, accessories, and clothes her size and style, but fashionable and just a little provocative. Additionally, a box of expensive chocolate, because why not. It was sent early in the morning.

I support whatever choices you want to do today.

Just remember that you do have choices.

TO: Valentine Crowther
MESSAGE:

It’s boxes and boxes of chocolates and a lovely painting of Valentine in his room reading books.

My Valentine,

This is kinda weird because I send you gifts every other day. I’m not really the best with words, but here we go.

I love you. You know that. And I want to spend the rest of my life loving you, and that’s hilariously long, but I hope you’re up for that. Far be it from me to keep you from doing what you like but, you know. I want to be there by your side.

Happy Valentine’s Day

TO: Valentine Crowther
MESSAGE:

It’s a letter delivered with a bouquet of black roses and a leather-bound grimoire of a book about supernatural creatures in Asia, horror stories and illustrations and all.

Lovely,

I’m going to take a guess and say you’re sick of this Holiday.

A personal philosophy of mine, is that if I’m ever sick of something, I turn around and claim it as mine. I hope one day Valentine’s Day will be yours. I’m sure you have enough money to make it happen.

Happy Valentine’s Day. Happy You Day.

FROM: Vincenzo Maria Fontana

TO: Rhys Felix Arkewright
MESSAGE:

A delivery to his penthouse of a heart-shaped box containing the finest chocolate in Europe, expensive French wine and a velvet box. Inside the velvet box is a set of diamond earrings.

My sunshine,

I hope this isn’t too forward. Our dalliances have brought me great joy, and I wish to send a small token of my appreciation.

Happy Valentine’s Day

TO: Yesterday
MESSAGE:

A delivery of a Valentine’s card and a small bouquet of roses:

Yesterday,

I’m sure you’re wondering what today is. Humans often have Holidays to celebrate certain dates or concepts. Valentine’s Day was originally a corporate made event by Hallmark to sell greeting cards, but it quickly turned into a holiday to celebrate significant others. Red is the color of passion. Hearts represent romantic love. That’s why it’s all over the place.

Happy Valentine’s Day, beautiful.

TO: Headmistress Moor
MESSAGE: The headmistress receives a large cake. Suddenly a stripper pops out of the cake. Sexy music plays as the stripper dances a choreographed routine. A letter is attached to the cake.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
Enjoy the strip dance.

YOLO,

Yesterday I realized
Our Futures are
Uncertain.
Remember me,
Everytime you wake.

My eyes trace the frown on your face when you sleep.
It makes me wonder what I could do to make you smile.
Never do I want to see you bleed again.
Everytime you wake, remember me.




When I look at you, the future doesn't seem all that hopeless.

Happy Valentines Day, Emily.

Happy Valentines Day! LETS GET CRAZY!
