[The voice mail opens to a hideously generic automated voice:]
You have reached the voice message box of--


[LONG PAUSE. DEAD AIR. SOME RUSTLING NOISE? This continues for about five seconds, before the electronic female voice takes over.]


If you would like to leave a message, press 'one', or wait for the tone.

About a week or so after their conversation about Shinjiro's birthday, he'll walk into the room to see this blaring on his TV (purchased online by Jaime, downloaded onto Shinjiro's system, remotely done courtesy of the Scarab).

As he presses start to get into the game, it will cycle through the following texts, splashed in obnoxious bright blue font across the screen, and will then operate normally:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

PS YOU DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE TO GET ME ANYTHING YOU WERE KIND OF MISSING THE POINT THERE

BUT ENJOY THIS STUPID GAME

forward dated letter

[lyingheart]

[ So you know what Annie was not expecting by and large for Christmas? Anything. Know what she got? Something. Some research showed that thank you notes were considered a polite way of acknowledging gifts, and so here is the note she writes and delivers sometime after Christmas, and before the New Year: ]

Shinjiro - I suppose I did need a calendar for 2015. It was a kind gesture, though the knife is better appreciated. Training should resume normally after the New Year.

You're not entirely hopeless. We'll see how much you remember in a little while.

May the New Year see you well.

- A. Leonhart

not here

[khajidont]

[As promised, there is a package for both Shinjiro and Akihiko delivered to their door! Shinjiro's includes a piece of cookware of your choice - it's probably fun, if not all that useful - and the note attached just wishes him a Merry Christmas.

Enjoy your KFC, bro.]

text + attached image

[khajidont]

[Hi, Shinji, have an image! It's a Booster mancalendar is open to the month of January, where Jaime has liberally applied Brenda's colour coded pens. Booster is now wearing a red flamenco dress and is in the possession of a green unibrow and a matching goatee. There's a pink raincloud above his head, with tiny blue spiders falling from it. Somebody had fun.

The image has been renamed better.png.]

Told you I'd find a use for it

[Jaime are you twelve years old.

(Yes.)]

[hoboagogo]

[Wow. This is... pretty fantastic.]

you gonna do one every month?
