[At 12pm on the dot, Milly's phone rings! Yue has no idea who he just called, but that's the point, right? As soon as she picks up:]

Good noon!

[shesgotguts]

[she wasn't expecting any sort of call today (or any other day), but in the middle of lunch, there is one, and she picks up up to hear--

oh. OH THAT'S SO CUTE!]

And a good noon to you! Are you having a good day?

i'm a lawbreaker going for action

[gotnaked]

[ Ryuko doesn't go home much — that would kind of defeat the purpose of couchsurfing to stay away — but she has to check in occasionally. Partially to check the mail, partially to see if anyone else has showed up (it's a relief that nobody has), and partially just to keep an eye on Satsuki and Nonon. Know thy enemy, and all that.

Today's a mailbox day. Whatever she expected, it wasn't a tin of cookies, and she pops it open to read the note right then and there. She's still scratching her head when she spots Milly — and decides that if she's supposed to give them out, why not start now? ]

Hey! [ It's a little louder than she intended, but she's trying to get some attention here. ]

you are totally under arrest

[shesgotguts]

[milly is leaning against her mailbox, flipping through letters, examining her own tin of cookies, when ryuko calls out. looking up, she smiles and walks over to her.]

Hey! Pillow fight girl! [because her actual name escapes her.] Where have you been? I thought you got sent home!

here's the mail it never fails - oh whatever auste go to bed

[prosecutory]

[Cookie delivery! One sugar cookie wrapped in white paper and boxed up in a small...well, equally plain box, coming up. The also-very-plain card has this message written impeccably with fountain pen:

Miss Ashford,

Consider my thanks for indulging me when the landlord made us do strange and ridiculous tasks. But perhaps it might not be prudent to eat it.

- M. Edgeworth]

IT MAKES ME WANT TO WAG MY TAIL-- look at what you did

[shesgotguts]

[of course, she shoved it in her mouth immediately. landy's a great baker. milly doesn't have a landlord cookie to give him, but she does have a white chocolate macademia nut cookie she made to give him! also, a note--]

Hi Miles!

Thanks for the cookie! Here's one in return-- not a landlord cookie. An Ashford cookie. Drop by sometime, won't you? We'd love to have you over for dinner.

With love,
~Milly

[both of these are left in his inbox with as much care as she could muster in a drive by.]

mailbox; during the event

[thirdbeauty]

[It seems like they see each other all the time, but with Milly involved, there's always lots of distractions. So instead of bringing it to her personally, Natsuru writes a small note and sends the oatmeal raisin cookie attached in a little plastic bag.]

Milly-neesan,

I don't know if this is really safe to eat, so be careful. But, I wanted to give them to people who are important to me, anyway.

Thanks for being my sister, and helping out with so much.

- Nat

[She even signed it with her nickname, they're officially sisters now! ... More officially. Whatever...]

[shesgotguts]

[on house 1431's mailbox, (not in, not by, not hung on the flag, actually ON the mailbox) is a bag holding a large tray of white chocolate macademia nut cookies. a couple of them are in pieces, but haha hey. there's a letter in the bag, too, written in bright blue ink and loopy cursive. it reads--]

NAT WE MADE TOO MANY COOKIES I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THEM EUPHIE AND I ATE HALFISH??? BUT THERE'S JUST TOO MANY. I GAVE YOU THE REST. ALSO, I TRIED FITTING THEM IN YOUR MAILBOX, BUT IT DIDN'T WORK. I HOPE YOU LIKE THEM-- THEY'RE MY FAVOURITE. PLEASE SHOVE SOME IN SAYAKA'S MOUTH ON MY BEHALF. LOVE U (´；Д；｀)

~Milly

mailbox; during event

[sealant]

[ Makoto's attaching notes to all his cookies, but his pen stops on this one. Things are a little odd at the moment between them, and though he never shows it, he does worry.

So instead he opts for shutting down. Always safe. Her neatly-wrapped sugar cookie gets a short note with it turning up in her mailbox. ]

Milly-san,

These are from the landlord. Be careful.

Makoto.

getting a text back heck yeah

[shesgotguts]

[it would be rude not to make proper note of this, so she sends him a quick text... with the least amount of passive-aggression possible.]

thanks for the cookie makoto

ill be as careful as i can be. you do the same.

milly

Mailbox

[poisonedclaws]

[ despite her having helped him out, she'll get this in her mailbox because he's never done this before ]

mail; sometime after receiving her cookie

[hibernating]

[Tightly sealed in a zip locked back and shoved into a letter, Milly will find two (2) brownies in her mailbox. They're very similar to the kind you would find in a supermarket. Or, exactly like them. Because that's what they are. Consider it a blessing he bought them instead of baking them.

There's a small note accompanying the brownies:]

These are no lemon bars, either. But I hope you like them. Thanks for the cookie!

- Ven ☺

[Also scrawled on the back of the note because boy needs to learn how to write smaller:]

Tell me when and I'll be there.

text back!!

[shesgotguts]

[a picture is sent along with the text-- it's of her and her "daughter", euphie, each of them holding a brownie and smiling. thanks ventus, you helped a family bond. gold star for you.]

we loved them!! thats euphemia btw. shes a princess and my daughter here. u would like her. btw how does wednesday sound, 7pm? do u have any fav foods?

action because you don't control me

[sealant]

[ Ah, three in the afternoon. The sweetest time of any day when you're still attending school like a loser.

Though he still naps through class fairly often, Makoto is very glad to be out of there before the sun sets every day now, freeing him up to work at the cafe. Or at the radio station. Or roadie-ing. Boy's overworking himself, is what I'm saying.

It'll sure look like it when he knocks on Milly's shiny new principal door. He covers his mouth with one hand, yawning wide. ]

Milly-san, it's Makoto.

action because you're a NERD

[shesgotguts]

[she's going to look just like him, but she's a better actor than he is. so she's perky as she opens the door, one hand on the handle and the other on her hip. giving him a gentle smile, she shakes her head.]

Come on in, Makoto. Before you pass out or something... Do you want me to get someone on making coffee?

package;

[reloves]

[ Milly might find a package on her doorstep early in the morning - it's covered in wrapping paper with a hearts pattern, and there's a note on it: ]

Dear Milly,

Merry early Christmas! May your new year be filled with happiness and more importantly, with lots and lots of love! Santa will be wishing for all the best for your love life!

- Santa

[ IS THAT REALLY WHAT SANTA'S PRIORITY SHOULD BE..

But anyway, inside the package is a make up set - and it's all hearts-themed too. Like the eyeshadow. Enjoy. ]

[ MAILBOX ] 12.25.2014

[strippingsensei]

<sub>[ There's a gift that is delivered later in the evening, but it's placed without a trace after he knocks on Milly's door.

Dude was hella fast.

Anyway, a note is attached: ]</sub>
Dear Milly-san,
I wasn't sure what to get your for Christmas since it's been awhile since we've spoken with each other, but figured I couldn't go wrong with the choice I picked.

Happy Holidays~
— Aikuro Mikisugi.

_{[ congrats, Milly. You got some chocolates. ]}

text; 26/12/2014

[sealant]

[ RECAP: He's been hanging out with everyone a little less in the interests of letting the newlyweds enjoy their time together, but the party crew is still totally a crew. So, on the Boxing Day evening, he turns to the next natural topic now all that Christmas nonsense is wrapped up. ]

Are you planning something for New Year's Eve?

[shesgotguts]

[thank u for the recap. i needed it]

OMG NO........... NO I HAVENT HAD TIME!!!!!! we have to do something for it!!!! if i go into the new year without a party my rep will go down the drain and that will make me so sad :'(

wait why? r u doin something for it?

call; backdated to 12/20

[prosecutory]

Miss Ashford? I'd like to ask you for a favor, if it's all right. Please return my call as soon as possible.

[shesgotguts]

Miles! What a lovely surprise! Has Christmas come early for me?

[she giggles, and if he could see her, she'd be twirling her hair.]

What can I do for you?

[ MAILBOX ... KIND OF ] 12.26.2014

[strippingsensei]

<sub>[ In response to this, he couldn't just easily pick up the phone and dial her.

And so, he's taped a little rose on the door with a folded up piece of paper that simply says: ]</sub>

Why the hell not?

_{[ again, he knocks on her door and makes a run for it.
What is he? In 5th grade? ]}

call back????? same day

[shesgotguts]

[while the note leaves much to be desired, the rose more than makes up for it. twirling it between her fingers, she calls aikuro, keeping all hints of girlish dreaminess out of her voice.]

You know, I didn't think you'd agree to it.

package;

[sealant]

[ On Christmas morn, it's present time! Wrapped in blue wrapping paper is this book and a small note.

"Merry Christmas. I'm looking forward to even better times in the future.

- Makoto" ]

package; christmas morning

[thirdbeauty]

[A nicely-wrapped present with a tag reading "To: Milly, From: Natsuru" can be found by the mailbox. Inside, under the tissue paper, is an even smaller gift, an envelope, and a neatly folded dress.

If she opens the smaller gift, she'll find a bracelet. And the envelope, naturally, contains a handwritten card.]

I saw this dress while shopping a while back and thought of you. I'm pretty sure it'll fit - I tried one on in the same size just to make sure! If you don't like it, I promise we can go shopping together for something else later. Honestly, I probably owe you a few shopping trips by now.

I hope you like the bracelet, though. Even though we weren't assigned together, you've been a great big sister. And I especially wanted to thank you for all your help with the wedding! It must have been a lot of work, and me and Sayaka got so much of the attention. Thanks so much for making it happen, and being our maid of honor. It means a lot to both of us.

Anyway, Merry Christmas! I'm glad we decided to be sisters.

Nat ♥

mailbox, xmas morning

[gorillatama]

[There will be a gift basket, wrapped in plastic and topped with a pretty purple bow, waiting for Milly on her doorstep this bright morning. Once she tackles the wrapping head on, she'll find some pretty and useful goodies.
The note attached reads:

Milly-chan,
I hope the tailend of this year finds you in high spirits! I haven't seen you around in awhile, missy miss. I'm really sorry I haven't stopped by the check up on you, I have no excuse, but I'll do way better now! I won't forget my friends, not ever. Anyway, I saw these little goodies and had to get them to you asap. I know they're in good hands now. Happy holidays, and I'll see you soon, alright?
-Isao

And of course there's a fuckton of candy in the basket, how could you even question.]

mailbox; December 25

[protectthecastle]

[Inside the mailbox, she finds one carefully wrapped present. It contains a bottle of hazelnut-flavoured Bailey's and jars of hot chocolate mix, neatly labelled as "peppermint", "vanilla", and "strawberry" along with a card written in Veronica's loopy cursive.]

My dear Milly,

I hope this gift finds you in wonderful company. Please do not hesitate to drop by to visit any time you wish.

Sincerely,
Veronica

P.S. I am thinking of having a birthday party for someone. Would you help me?

call;

[shesgotguts]

[veronica is such a good friend. buying her alcohol... blondes need to stick together for these reasons.

but the mention of a party gets her to light up, and almost immediately she calls veronica back--]

Hi, darling! Thank you for the presents! They'll all get excellent usage. By the way, what this about a birthday party?

mailbox; 12/24

[jinpachi]

[ A card reading Wishing you the best in this holiday season and the coming year. - TODO

There's also a photo of himself, because clearly that is the greatest gift any girl could ask for. ]

mailbox; dec. 24

[prosecutory]

[In Milly's mailbox is a neatly-wrapped present that will turn out to be a small basket of baking bits and bobs - the best semisweet chocolate chips for melting or decorating, a package of walnuts, a shiny new set of measuring spoons, and a small recipe book - not just any book, but a book with recipes for the seasoned baker. By contrast, the card is plain, with the following message written with an exquisite fountain pen:

Miss Ashford,

Thank you for your assistance.

- M. Edgeworth

The assistance being, of course, buying stuff off him.]

Action, 3/25

[guiltydulcinea]

[ So, it's been a while since this one has been seen around Milly's house, yes?

Maizono feels terrible that she hasn't been visiting her mother as much as either of them would like to - while she did think that Milly could be rather boisterous and loud at times, she also thought highly of her since she was one of those people she felt like she could really trust with anything, too.

Her mind made up, she decides that today's a good day as any to stop by, say hello and catch up. So here she is standing outside Milly's door, failing to hide a basket behind her back that contains both a tea sampler set and a bottle of fine whiskey.

Knocking, she pauses for a few moments before calling out. ]

Milly-san? Are you home?

Re: Action, 3/25

[shesgotguts]

[milly, of course, is prepared in spirit, but not in clothing, for guests, and the knock at the door gets her to jump into a dress quickly. there's no time for hair and make-up, but will the visitor care? maybe. but does she? nope.

she's prepared for either new family member to be at the door, sans keys for some reason, but IT'S SAYAKA! THE FIRST DAUGHTER! (she can't say the best daughter, because she's had three, but she'll play favourites anyway.) in a split second, she latches onto her darling tightly, and doesn't let go. it's been too long.]

SAYAKA! Oh, it's so good to see you! I thought you were a stranger, with you calling me "Milly-san". You know you can call me "Milly" or "Mom" at this point. Honestly, did Nat truly screw your brains out? [AYYYYYYYYYYYYYY]

[ TEXT ] u asked for it

[strippingsensei]

Would you think less of me if I said I was eating a toaster strudel in the bath?
Because that is what I am doing right now.

[ TEXT ] i actually thought u were playin....

[shesgotguts]

are you really? is this what your nights have come to?

but i dont judge you one bit. i actually wish i was doing the same.

[strippingsensei]

Did you know that human nerve cells can travel as fast as 120 meters per second?
_{[ and the useless text trend continues. ]}

[shesgotguts]

[thank god for aikuro. bless his heart...]

i didnt. i dont know how id ever learn that, but thank you for sharing! how do they go that fast? where do they even go? what other science facts do you have for me?

the day of the auction

[formerbanchou]

Mama quick I need your help.
Can I borrow some money?
It is a serious matter and I can pay you back soon I just don't have it right now and it's very important.

jesus christ.

[shesgotguts]
