My name is Sakichi Niijima. This message is addressed to those of us still in Recollé.

Valentine's Day is approaching. Many of you had plans with members of the expeditionary teams that are no longer feasible, but all is not lost. I and Chiyo Matsuoka intend to deliver any parcels addressed to those expeditionary members, provided they are entrusted to us by February 14th. The Post Office is continuing its hold on all out-of-town mail, so do not send any of your gifts through traditional mailing methods.

Please reply if you have a letter or parcel you would like delivered, and we will arrange for a pick-up.


p.s. hi this is chiyo matsuoka!
like sakichi said we're going to do our best so valentine's day will be a little bit happier for everyone!
you have our word that we'll try our best to get gifts to where you want them!
if you're in a group that's out of the city i'm happy to do the reverse too!
paypal me at [insert some cute flower email here] if you have anything specific in mind!

[ something like a few hour later, an edit: ]

JOANNE SAID SHE WOULD HELP❣❣❣❣❣


(( OOC: This is an IC sister post to Ara's OOC Valentine's Gift Meme! If you respond to the OOC post with a gift your character would not be able to personally deliver, it may be assumed that Sakichi/Chiyo/Joanne helped make the delivery happen. All entrusted gifts will find their way to their intended recipients on Valentine's.

Unless addressed directly, responses will come from either Sakichi or Chiyo. ))

[ holy shit, he's saved ]

S.O.S. Send food. Toothpaste. Toothbrush. Shampoo. Blankets. Water. Will pay when I can.

[idealest]

[ ...

Minato this service is for pure Valentine's love only. ]

Why didn't you take those with you in the first place?

[thesettingsun]

I'll make sure to label all my parcels really well, I have a lot of them.

Thank you so much for this, you're both lifesavers.

[admiringly]

we're happy to help!
i know i'd be sad if i couldn't give people their vday gifts and couldn't receive any!
so i wanted to make sure no one would be sad because of that if i could help it!

[parodeity]

chiyo i need you to break into my dorm to get the valentines i made for people

[admiringly]

if you can tell me how to do that i will!
100%

[ So. Chiyo and Sakichi are sitting next to each other. He looks up from his phone/laptop/whatever he's using for this post to peer over at her... ]

You understand that we'll have to carry everything requested of us? You should be mindful of the promises you make.

[admiringly]

[ DON'T RAIN ON HER PARADE, SAKICHI.

She's determined, and if at any moment they look related, it's now. Her brows are furrowed in the way his often are. ]

I understand! I don't break promises. I want to deliver them all! If we separate and organize them well, it'll be fine!

[ Optimism springs eternal. ]

private to chiyo

[cardcaptured]

Two questions:

1) Is it possible to keep the sender... anonymous from the recipient?

2) Could you also get into my apartment to pick up the chocolate? My guardian and I are on the same mission, so getting it out of the house will be... difficult, otherwise.

private from here on out

[admiringly]

1) if that's what you want!
2) yeah of course! if you trust me enough to tell me where you keep your spare key i'll do it!

[truedetective]

Wait.
How is that possible?
You know where they are?

[idealest]

First, Zee Carlisle has given those of us undergoing the assessment period for the RRI a diagram of the city and its surrounding areas.
Second, Baren Kaiyou has supplied a list of enlisted individuals and their group destinations.
Finding them will not be impossible.

[nachetanya]

Do you have a size, weight, or price limit on these packages you're not willing to deliver?

[idealest]

If you can carry it in your arms, then we'll take it.
Anything more is negotiable.

[crudest]

chi-chan's doing deliveries with sakicchan?

be nice to her, sakicchan
chi-chan make sure that sakicchan carries all the heavy stuff

[idealest]

[ Sakichi notices very pointedly that Baren's nicknames for them are longer than their actual names... ]

I'm always nice to her.

[ He's mildly offended that Baren would imply otherwise?? ]

[admiringly]

[ After this comment, Chiyo immediately asked Sakichi if she could call him Sakicchan, too, but HE SAID NO :( :( :( ]

i can't think of anyone better than sakichi to do deliveries with!!
and i want to share the load because he's doing this to humor me
but he'll probably take the heavier stuff anyway

[unidolize]

How kind of you both.
I'd like to make some deliveries to those who've been sent out on missions.

Sakichi, I would like to personally deliver something to you, if that's okay.

[idealest]

[ He trusts that Dia is reasonable, so ]

Let me know when your items are ready and I'll come by to pick them up.

[ ............... ]

Is your item for me related to Valentine's?

[okitactless]

thanks sakichi-kun
and thanks chiyo-san too
that's sweet of you

[Since he doesn't know her, but he wants to be polite anyway!!]

isn't that a lot of work though?
for just two of you

[admiringly]

it's no problem! it's something i want to do!
it's work worth doing!!

[idealest]

Hello, Yasusada.
Chiyo is enthusiastic about this project. I imagine she'll be worth ten men.
If you'd like to help regardless, I'm certain we could use you.

[frostythehitman]

who died and made you the post office
and what the hell do you mean joanne is helping
you mean like retrospec employee joanne???

[admiringly]

um... the main post office doesn't know about retrospec but sakichi is a post office worker
and yes that's what i mean! that joanne!

[kindhearted]

Wow, what a great idea! That's really nice of you two!

Do you need/want any extra help doing the pick-ups? I'm here in the city and I've got free time outside of work hours.

[idealest]

That would be helpful. Thank you, Roji.
We may need to use the apartment for storage space until final preparations can be made.

[sharplydressed]

awwww you two
this is the cutest thing!
hit me up if you need help too okay?
if it's for the sake of love, then i'll definitely do my best (•̀ω•́)ง✧

[idealest]

Hello, Kiyomitsu. I didn't know you were such a romantic.
