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. ))

no subject
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
no subject
it's work worth doing!!
no subject
[He wrote 'laugh' but he means it...]
are you delivering your own presents to people too?
no subject
if i couldn't get my presents to my friends too i'd cry
everyone should get their presents!
no subject
I thought it was only for couples...
[listen who has time to keep track of holidays when there are things to stab]
is it your favorite holiday?
no subject
yes! everyone!
you can keep it just couples if that's what you want but i think love should be for everyone!
love of all kinds should be included!
yeah vday is one of my favorites because it's hard to beat the love + chocolate combo you know?
no subject
that's true
I don't usually buy any but
kiyomitsu gave me chocolate last year and it was pretty good
[it was also HAND-ME-DOWNS HE DIDN'T WANT but yams doesn't know that so whatever.]
have you ever tried to make your own??
no subject
i'm not the best baker but they always come out fine!
putting all your feelings into your baking helps the result!
no subject
sakichi-kun says you have great advice for things like this
and I definitely believe him now
so do you have any good suggestions?? I'm not very good at this myself
[AT LEAST HE'S SELF-AWARE even though he tries his pompom best]
no subject
you should start simple!
you don't have to make anything fancy for your first time
that you wanted to try in the first place will mean a lot
but if you want to add something more
write a note with all your feelings too!
no subject
my mom is a chef but she doesn't specialize in desserts
so we never really made them together
but kiyomitsu can't make anything that takes more than one frying pan anyway
so he probably won't know the difference
[TRULY THEY ARE A KIND AND LOVING COUPLE......]
really? a note??
even though I see him every day?? normally I just tell him in person...
is that bad
[Half the time Kashuu preens, half the time he tsuns, IT'S SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND THIS CHIYO HELP HIM]
no subject
probably more than me because she's a pro
but i think kiyo will appreciate it no matter what!!
[ even if he's tsun about it ]
yeah!
telling him person is great! it's not bad at all
it's wonderful that you do that!
but a note can be there for the times you aren't next to him
however rare or often that is
no subject
he doesn't even do the dishes
so enjoying it is the least he could do
[And yet, for some reason, Yasusada puts up with this, like the GOOD AND PURE AND TOTALLY NORMAL SOUL HE TOTALLY IS]
oh!! you have a point
we work in separate places and take different classes
so we're apart during the day a lot
should I leave him notes in his lunch or something
[That's cute in dramas, right? People like that? Even if his mom is actually the one making Kashuu's bentos, because for some inexplicable reason the world thinks he's not spoiled enough as it is]
no subject
does he do other chores?
yes!!!
do it!
leave him notes in his lunch!
it'll be a pleasant surprise!! an extra sweet touch
[ a pleasant surprise.... like chiyo didn't just link kashuu to this thread ]
no subject
he's really spoiled
did you know he brought home a live animal one day without even telling me
[He phrases it like Kashuu waltzed in with a boa constrictor instead of a kitten that is now their pet...
Also, Kashuu absolutely does some chores, but the day he stops complaining about Kashuu as a roommate is the day Retrospec freezes over tbh]
okay!!
I'll do that
maybe he'll do the flower petal thing again
[They will be awful and embarrassing and it will only be 85% intentional]
no subject
a cat right?
he told me about it but he should've talked to you about it if you live together
flower petal thing?
what's that?
no subject
it doesn't even like me
it scratches me all the time
[He picks 90% of the fights and he's full of shit, Chiyo, don't listen to him.
--Except about the flower petal thing.]
oh!!! you don't know??
when he gets really happy he makes flower petals appear
so next time you see him
you should give him a whole bunch of compliments
it's really funny
(no subject)
no subject
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.
no subject
that's pretty high praise from you
[Not that Sakichi is mean at all, of course--it's just hard finding people who match their level of intensity]
but sure!!
I'd be happy to help if you need it
as long as it's not something weird like delivering peacocks
[listen people do weird shit for holidays HE DOESN'T KNOW OKAY]
no subject
Peacocks?
I heard that you and Kiyomitsu are an item now.
Did you not have prior plans with him on the date?
no subject
[or. something.
More importantly--]
eh? you heard? [why doesn't he just read the other comments] well
I thought about making plans
but last time he didn't like my ideas so I thought it would be better to let him decide...
I do nice things for him all the time anyway but he says those don't count
no subject
I see.
As long as he has no issue, I suppose there's no problem.
Are you familiar with Chiyo?
no subject
he always has issues
but most of them he just makes up because he gets embarrassed
[just casually calling out the tsun despite being totally oblivious to the conversation happening like two threads down]
not really
Kiyomitsu talks about her sometimes though
she seems very nice and determined
no subject
I would recommend her counsel if you have need in the future.
[ Kashuu seems like he would appreciate the extra romantic effort... ]
I can vouch for her good character, though I may be biased. We happen to be cousins.
no subject
that's good to know
maybe she can give me ideas for white day
[yasu literally no one celebrates white day here stop being such a weeb]
oh!!
that makes sense then
and if both you and kiyomitsu say she's great then I'll definitely believe it
