[Oh. Oh, wow. Her first dick pic! This is so exciting. Jester takes a gooood, long gander at this stranger's penis before closing it and replying.]

hi yourself!
thanks for the proof, that's very thoughtful of you!!
i have to tell you, though, I don't think I'm the person you meant to send that to... 🥸

wait who is this

action! in medias date

[semicharmed]

[ So here's the thing: Matt suggested this particular outing because of what he knew about Jester's interests. A quest for the best pastries in Sumarlok seemed like a no-brainer. But despite his tendency to over-purchase, whether it's candies or alcohol or herbs for spells, Matt doesn't actually eat that much sugar. Which means that by this point in the pastry crawl, he's feeling decidedly buzzed.

They've ended up at one of Matt's favorite bakeries in the Sapphire District, which not coincidentally is the only one that's open 24 hours. The plates in front of them are a confectionary wasteland, a testament to just how thorough this search has been.

Matt heaves a sigh, satisfied and dazed in about equal measure. ​]

So what's the verdict?

[ Somewhere between the eclairs and the millefeuille, he's lost track. There's a bit of powdered sugar in his hair, a smudge of jelly on his cheek, and he's mostly trying to drink water at this point, but he's feeling pretty good. ]

[leetle]

[Improbably, impossibly, Jester has yet to hit her limit. Sure, she's sugared up as all hell, and is definitely going to crash hard later, but it seems her stamina is pretty remarkable for someone so small. She's draped halfway across the table toward Matt, idly nibbling on the corner of something that resembles a Yorkshire pudding, except drenched in chocolate sauce. Behind her head, her tail flicks idly back and forth midair like a contented cat's, and she's got chocolate on the tip of her nose that she's fully aware is there.

She's having a very good time, too, and it isn't just about the pastries. Matt is cute and funny and laughs at her jokes and talks about interesting things. Also, he's one of the few people Jester's flirted with who just...flirts right back. Which is crazy, now that she thinks about it. But all in all, it's been a very nice night.

She giggles, reaching out to boldly swipe the jelly from Matt's cheek, and then in a fit of ridiculousness sticks her finger in her mouth to suck it off.]

I don't know...there were so many good things. I loved those little cream cheese tarts with the plums...or the chocolate-hazelnut croissants...And that last place had that amazing hot chocolate, yum!

delivery

[ohthatsnice]

[left at Jester's door is a box containing a few bags of tea, several different kinds of sweets, a (pink!) mug with her name painted on it, a pink sketchbook, and a tiny felted unicorn, as well as a card shaped like a donut.]

Jester,
Don't tell anyone else, but I'm the most glad that you're here. I hope you're doing okay. You must miss your mom a lot. But when I miss home a lot, I try to remember that the sky is the same, no matter where you are. So when you're looking up at the sky, you can think about your mom looking up at the same sky too.

Try to save some of your snacks for a tea date together.

Love,
Caduceus

[leetle]

[Jester's delighted to find the gift from Caduceus, and the next day he receives a pink-wrapped package in revenge. Inside is a very fancy vintage-looking tea set, the teapot with four cups and saucers, all with a faded, gold-plated floral patter in delicate shades of mint green and lilac. The note attached reads:]

Caduceus!

I loved your gifts! A tea date is exactly what I need right now! You bring the tea seat, I'll bring the tea?

Jester ♡

[sterngaze]

[When it comes to thirsty behaviour, it’s bad enough to send a friend a thirsty text after spending half the month having almost nothing to do with them. It’s especially egregious to be so caught up in sending said thirsty message that you send it to the wrong person—especially when it’s a different friend to whom you have been just as unavailable of late.

But Noctium makes clowns of us all, and this month it’s Liem’s turn to wear the red foam nose, so on the first day of monster week, as sunset is closing in on Sumarlok, the following message arrives:]

Matt

How would you like to spend the evening telling me what to do?

[The brief message comes with an attached image: Liem sitting on his bed, sporting a pair of small antlers, velvety black bunny ears, and a head of equally black hair (save for the silver streaks threaded through it). Dressed in a crisp white shirt with a black vest and bow tie, he looks rather like a host or bartender at a high-end restaurant—but the flirtatious look on his face is anything but professional.]

[leetle]

[Jester is just minding her own business when her device pings from the edge of the bathtub. Having woken up transformed into some kind of seal...mermaid? Whatever it is, it's fun and cool and she's spent most of the late afternoon-early evening in the bathtub, splashing her flippers around and just generally enjoying being in the water. Not that she didn't already enjoy it; being half-Water Genasi means she's always loved baths, or even better hot springs.

Drying off her hands, she reaches for her phones and grins as Liem's name pops up on her screen. The grin fades as she reads the name he's addressed the message to. Oops, he meant to send this to Matt, not her! They do have awfully similar phone names...

...oh. This message is definitely not just a friendly greeting. She didn't know the two of them were...'involved,' as it were, but she can certainly guess they are now by the phrase "telling me what to do" and the flirtatious look on Liem's face, made even more adorable by the ears and antlers. He always looks handsome, dignified and all that, but now he looks downright cute.

But there's the matter of the mix-up. She doesn't want to embarrass Liem, and risk him not speaking to her anymore because of it. Jester chews her lips, her fingers slowly tapping over her device as she composes a reply.]

oh! hi Liem!
you're looking extremely handsome tonight, I love the ears!! 🐰😍

buuuut i think this was intended for Matt, not me! sorry to disappoint you!!

[The day after a certain birthday party, Konoha is feeling... a lot of things. And only some of them can be fixed with deliveries, but. ... Wait, she doesn't know her address, eight million myriad of gods it's going to ruin the surprise...]

good evening miss JESTER
can you tell i address please?

un: sapphire

[leetle]

oh! hey Konoha!!
thanks again for inviting me to the party last night, it was sooooo fun!

of course, here's my address!

[Jester sends over the address of Essek's place in Sumarlok, curious as to what Konoha might want with it but mostly just pleased to hear from her at all.]

oh hey Caduceus! of course, how can I help??

[wolfsong]

Special delivery!

un: nott - audio

[ucanreplytothismessage]

Jessie! I have something for you.

[ In the midst of all the lovin' feeling in the air, Nott has found Jester to be both the easiest of her friends to shop for and somehow one of the hardest? Because, like, Nott knows what she likes, definitely, but also, what if she already gets herself all the stuff she likes?

Whatever, it's fine. One of the things she loves about Jester is that she is unfailingly supportive of Nott's worst best ideas, so. This should be no different. ]

Come over when you get the chance! Youcanreplytothismessage.


Also it would be great if the chance could be in the next twenty-four hours or less. Youcanreplytothismessage.

Nott! [Still strange, to go back to saying 'Nott' instead of Veth, but Jester's getting used to it, day by day.] Something? For leetle old me? You shouldn't have!

[Color her intrigued! Literally seconds later, Jester is skidding down the hall and knocking on Nott's door with both fists. Twenty-four hours? How about twenty-four seconds!]

[although Caduceus has gotten better at communicating via text over time, it's clear that this is rushed and nervous and that in his rushed, nervous state, he's reverted back to some old text habits]
