Minako Arisato October 9th near Apprassage

Hello Retrospec! Last week on Joanne’s network post, me and my ReVA coworker Terra Mason challenged each other to see who could get the most virtual candies. We finally had the time to sit down and count, and here are the results! The winner, by one single treat... ...is Terra, with 37 virtual candies! Congratulations, Terra! (✩´꒳`✩)ﾉ For everyone who supported me, your cupcakes will be ready for pick up during my 1-6pm shift today, so stop by the Confectionary for them anytime between then! Thanks for reading!

[ooc: if anyone wants to log out actually picking up their cupcake, feel free to leave an action thread for me in here]

I'm just wondering how you're doing?

I saw your post earlier...

[ God damn it can a guy just get his promised cupcakes without it turning into a whole thing about his arm? Which, yeah, he supposes is kind of his own fault for even posting about it in the first place, but still! It would be nice if he could have cupcakes to use as a distraction from his pathetic mess of a life, but apparently not!!! ]

I'm fine.

Just meet me outside the entrance to Fort McCoy with the cupcakes.

sure, I'll drop by before my shift

--> [action]

[frostythehitman]

See you then.

[ Sure enough, when Minako comes by, he's standing out front of the security entrance to Fort McCoy, flanked by his dad and sister behind him. He looks quite terrible--tired and slouched, wearing a Slipknot hoodie with his arm shoved into his pocket and the empty sleeve pinned to the shoulder. ]

[It feels really strange to be walking up to the military base dressed in her frilly pink uniform, but she has to leave soon after dropping these off if she wants to get back in time for her shift. So that's Minako, walking over with the Confectionary's signature pink and white striped take out box in hand.]

Hi, James.

[frostythehitman]

Hey, Minako.

[ He takes his arm out of his pocket and offers his forearm to her like a shelf for the box. He mumbles to her. ]

Thanks...for actually coming out here to deliver. Not a lot of chances for me to actually get out of the house right now.

[ He knows that the base is pretty damn far out of the way, but even he admits to himself that he's in no shape to go navigating the bus system and wandering the city. Hell, his family doesn't even feel safe letting him go to the edge of base alone right now. ]

[She gives him a small smile, shaking her head and holding out the box to set it in the crook of his arm, making sure it's balanced there.]

I'm glad to do it. I hope you enjoy them. [She takes a step back, visibly debating with herself on what to say-- then ultimately decides that most anything she says will not make him feel better, and gently pats his hand, settling for an offer instead.]

If you ever need a day with Korochan, let me know and I'll drive him up for you.

[frostythehitman]

[ He grins, despite himself. And then, realizing that his dad and sister must be looking confused behind him, he explains: ]

Korochan's her dog.

[ Then, to Minako: ]

Thanks. I might take you up on that sometime.

[complementing]

[A nod.]

You know how to call me. And I'm here for you too, if you need someone to talk to.

[One last pat over his hand.]

Take care, James.
