Dear Laurie,
Mr Bradbury and I are having a pool party on the 21st of June and we would like to invite you to come. There will be drinks and snacks, although you are welcome to bring your own. The party will begin at noon.
The address is Residence #006, Heropa.
We hope to see you there.
Regards,
Cole Sear
Hi, Cole. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to RSVP, but I'm doing it just in case. I'd definitely like to go to your party. I'll see you then.
Oh. Hi.
I don't think I can, can I? I'm not old enough.

[This unimaginative punk had a bunch of poinsettias delivered to Laurie's the day before Christmas, with a card that just reads, "From Wally."]
As we finalize the next members for our team, we have one simple request: come party with us! I (Kate) am helping Lydia throw a New Year's Eve party, and we'd love to have you come along. Once the evening is through, we'll likely have preventing-hangover pancakes (and various other breakfast items) at one of our favorite diners.
This is a form message, but we look forward to seeing you!
The details for the party are here.
[Though Laurie's a shoe-in no matter what, it helps to keep up appearances.]

Hey, ummmmm, so this is probably kind of crappy of me since we haven't talked in a while and all but could you uh...
Could you call me? When you get this?

OMG SASHA!!
I thought you might have left forever and it was awful, because I would've had like five things to apologize for just hanging in the air forever and I really didn't want it to end like that.
And that was a really bad run-on sentence but whatever!
Yes. I'll be home. I'm on my way right now, okay?
I'll be right there.

[Laurie and Tobias are heading to do laundry at the same time when Laurie notices there's blood-stained clothing, inclusive of what appear to be a cute lady's blouse and colorful skinny jeans, in his laundry basket.]
Oh, hi—Laurie. [He seems sleepy and more than a little surprised to see her.] Do we, uh, have anything here that helps get stains out?
Oh, hi—Laurie. [He seems sleepy and more than a little surprised to see her.] Do we, uh, have anything here that helps get stains out?
[ Ooookay. That's-- What was the question? ] Oh, uh. Yeah. Hang on.
[ Instead of just telling him where the stuff's kept, she sets her own basket down and heads for the little alcove where the washer and dryer sit. There are shelves above the units, and Laurie gets on her toes to retrieve a mostly-full bottle of stain-fighting laundry product. She turns to pass it over, looking more at Tobias' laundry than at him in an attempt to double-check that what she'd seen is actually there. ] You can just pre-treat it with this. The instructions are on the bottle.
[ A beat, and then: ] Um. If it's okay to ask... What happened?

Normally I'd call you, but it's such an ungodly hour.
So I'm texting you instead.
Sorry that it's still taking me some to get used to this thing.
I know it may seem a little random, but I was wondering what your schedule is like.
Sasha suggested we might play video games together one afternoon.
Let me know what you think.

Hi. You're fine!
I usually work the mid-morning or afternoon shifts right now, and I usually have a couple of days off a week. It moves around a little bit, though
I can probably play video games. Not that I'm very good at them or anything. I hardly ever play them really.

[ It's barely 11:00AM when Sasha contacts Laurie. Isn't she in school? Is she texting in class? The answer is yes. ]
hey laurie
ive been thinking

[ Laurie waits until after she's out of her pre-lunch class before she texts back, 'cause she's super responsible like that. ]
Hi, Sasha!
What about?
Hi, Sasha!
What about?
[Special delivery!
After finding out Laurie's new address, she'll find a package waiting for her on Christmas Eve. Inside the wrapped box will be a pair of over-the-ear headphones -- nothing fancy (he's not made of money), but they're utilitarian enough.
Enclosed is a note:
Merry Christmas, Laurie!
I didn't just want to give you another book, so I went the complete opposite direction. Maybe these can help shut the noise out while you write another one of your own.

[ On Christmas morning, Laurie will find waiting for her on their kitchen table a hand-sewn friendship bracelet and one of those silly, but heartwarming Christmas cards. Naturally, it's signed from Sasha and the note reads "For Laurie, one of my best friends! ♥ I'll be back soon and we can have a Christmas breakfast together! Or second breakfast if you've already eaten." ]
[ a tiny bit late, but Kaneki delivers. Honestly, he doesn't celebrate Christmas, but New Year is something he is much more fond of and he will be giving a present to all the people he has a relatively positive relationship with. So he will be dropping by to leave some Mochi Rice Cake. Enjoy! ]
[ So Sasha wanted to surprise Laurie with something cute and thoughtful (and most importantly: delicious) on Valentine's, so she's decided to stash a gift basket in the pantry where she figures Laurie will open later when retrieving breakfast.
... hopefully she does.
Other things she's left in the basket: discount coupon for the movies, a pizza place and various small bags of varying potato chip flavours.
There's a goofy (and kind of gross) card stuffed in there, signed from Sasha. It's the thought that counts, right? ]

[ On the 14th, Kaneki will be leaving a box with home-made chocolate in order to celebrate the White Day. He will leave a small note saying "Happy White Day" neatly written in Japanese, along with his signature. ]
[ HO HO HO, AND MERRY CHRISTMAS! Courtes of beetlemail, Laurie will be receiving: a scrapbook of clippings from her book's reviews (all positive; Jaime's not that mean!) and to go with it, a couple of books for herself.]
Merry Christmas, Laurie!
I look forward to your next book. :)

Dear, Miss Collins -
We have not spoken before, but my name is Petyr Baelish. I serve as the ambassador for Maurtia Falls. I write to you on behalf of a project I am working on within my city. Construction has already begun on rebuilding a much larger library, but I wish for this to be more than simply a bigger structure. I hope to inspire education and the spread of knowledge to the natives of Maurtia Falls as well as provide an invaluable resource to new arrivals here. But more than that, I wish to use it to pay homage to the natives who lost their lives within Maurtia Falls due to imPort related tragedies. Their names will be honored within the library itself and donations will be set up to be made to the families.
For this project to succeed, I need your help. If you are able to donate anything at all to the cause, it would be most appreciated -- whether that is books, money, or simply your time. I plan to put programs into place once the library is finished to have imPorts come in and read to the much younger generation. I believe it would be a great way to strengthen the native and imPort bond.
I thank you for your time, and I do hope to hear back from you soon.
Sincerely,
Ambassador Petyr Baelish
[ OOC: You can feel free to just respond to this OOCly if she would donate anything or not! ]

Hey, Laurie, it's Josuke! You gonna be free next weekend? I just found out about this awesome coral reef state park. It's a few hours away, but I thought it'd be a lot of fun to go with someone. How about it?
[And so begins Josuke's attempt to play matchmaker between Jonathan and Laurie.]

Oh, uh... Yeah. I think I'm free. You know, barring something exploding or whatever.
Is there, like, snorkeling involved, or..?

[ An invitation shows up in Laurie's inbox at some point in early November... RSVP can be handwaved, and don't worry, the log will go up in advance of actual Thanksgiving! ]
