Hello, Mikado? [You can see a small boy staring blankly at the screen. He has a bit of a worried frown on him]
There seems to be something wrong with the chip and I am having troubles buying food... Would it be okay to ask you to eat dinner at your place?
[He blinks]
Please reply to me when you can.
[There is a pause, which he makes a sort of tired expression]
I'm so hungry... [He whispers, before the video is turned off]

[Normally she didn't mind this but...poor guy. It tugged on her heart strings He needed some help, fast.]
I'm sorry, I'm not Mikado; I'm Masaki. But I have food, if you want some?
[She pauses, considering.]
I'm a friend of Mikado's, if it helps.

On the off chance that our crazy friend finds you in the gardens, call, mentally yell, whatever works the best if things take a turn for the worse.
[ Is he worried? A little. Events aren't quite as easy for Urahara to monitor and Ariel and there had been a rather blatant death threat involved. ]

Masaki?
Hey, this is Tali. Are you busy? I wanted to ask you something. A couple of things, in fact.

Dear Masaki,
Thanks for, well. You know what you did. It really meant a lot to me that you were there for me, even though we don't know each other well.
Take care - maybe we can catch up for tea or something soon?

[he shouldn't be doing this. There's no practical purpose to it. It won't help anything, it will only make things awkward, uncomfortable. He hardly knows her, he shouldn't be this personal about himself with someone he hardly knows.
...But when the idea comes to him, Uryuu can't shake it. It buzzes lowly in the back of his mind, insistent and wanting, until he finally calls.]
...Masaki-san. I hope it's not too late in the evening, but I... was hoping to ask you something.

[She could use video for this but it'll be way too embarrassing. Or something. When the feed starts, there's a moment of silence as she gathers the courage to talk, and when she finally does, she sounds super nervous. She's kinda used to talk about sex but what she's about to do is completely new.]
M-Masaki-san?
Mmh, I sorry if this is sudden, but- I was wondering... When we first talked, y-you said you could use, you know, your- ha-hands or your mouth.
D-do you remember?

[Oh, it's Shiemi! And she's cute as usual. Oddly nervous though. What a good girl, being so bold!]
Oh! No, it's not sudden, not at all!
[...she may be a little breathless, but she's still going to continue this.]
I did say that, yes. Were you planning on doing something...?
Oh! No, it's not sudden, not at all!
[...she may be a little breathless, but she's still going to continue this.]
I did say that, yes. Were you planning on doing something...?
Ah, hey. I guess I got sent back home for a while, so I thought... I'd let you know I made it back safely.
[Goodness is he awkward at this. She's the only girl he knows in the city right now that he'd bother doing this for anyway.]

[Duo's finally out of Re-Ed and he's...more than a little disoriented. He doesn't know how long he's been in there, but he knows that he's tired, he's hungry and thirsty, and more than a little horny. He really just wants to get back to his place, but given how out of it he is, he doesn't think he can make it. He doesn't even know what part of town he's in. He's just walking around until he finally decides he needs a break and goes inside a building.
It looks familiar, but it's not until he notices the closed off booths that he realizes he's in the karaoke bar. Great. At least he can hide for a while until he's rested enough to leave. It's the first empty booth he finds that he collapses in that he finally decides to call for some assistance. He goes through a list of people that are instant "No's": Mikado, Masaomi, Nagisa, Rei, Ed, Souji, Chizuru. All that's really left that he knows he won't be aggravated about know where he is is...well, Masaki. She seemed like a real nice girl the last time they talked.
So here he is, Masaki, staring at the ceiling of a dark karaoke booth when the video clicks on. His voice is raspy and when he talks, like he hasn't had a drink or a real break in a while.]
Hey...I kinda, you know...need some help. Mind giving a poor guy a hand gettin' home?

[She's mildly surprised to see the view of a ceiling. That is, until she hears the raspiness in his voice; it's a tell, and enough that she straightens up where she's sitting.
He asked for help, and that's all she needs to know before she starts to move out. As she responds, her view is that of movement, leaving her current location.]
I don't mind at all. Just tell me where you are, where you live, and I'll get you back in one piece.

[This was all really embarrassing. Now that he's back in his right mind, without being honest... he figured he should apologize to everyone. Even though it probably doesn't need to be apologized for. Just being polite...!]
Uh... hey, Kurosaki-san.
[Good start.]
Sorry about everything. Um... I was being more honest than I normally am, and I just wanted to apologize for that.
I'm sure it wasn't really a problem, but I just wanted to let you know that I'm not typically that... open about what I want. That's all.
[haha... ha...]

Hey, Masaki?
[Someone is sounding sheepish and awkward.]
I owe you an apology. I was a real bag of dicks the last time we talked, and you didn't deserve that. So I'm sorry I was an utter shit to you. I know you were just trying to help me feel better.

Jean?
[Someone's surprised, and pleased to hear back from him. And a pleasant apology to boot.]
It's...I wasn't doing it very well, and I was worried. I'm sorry it turned out the way it did.
[She sighs.]
...are you okay? Like...do you need to be healed, physically...?

On this day, Masaki will come home to find something on her bed. The little slip of pretty paper - not a card, but a flowery stationary - says "Thank you. Mikado."
The stem of the red rose is threaded through a tiny slit cut in the paper itself, and around the stem is wrapped something else: a golden chain, perhaps reminiscent of the chains of light that Masaki had used to keep him under control so recently.
Continuing that reference, the pendant at the end of the chain is a rose quart heart, with the chain actually embedded into the quartz at certain points, wrapping around it.

[When she comes home and sees the gift on her bed, she doesn't know what to do at first. She stares at the note, the rose, and the chain for a long time, feeling overwhelmed. To say the least, Masaki was touched. She ensured the rose was in water, the note on her dresser, and the necklace hanging around her neck before she gave Mikado a call.]
...thank you. This is the sweetest gift I've ever gotten.
[She'd joke about it not even being her birthday, but she's holding the heart too hard. It was a thoughtful, romantic gift. One she's sure Masaomi didn't couch him on.]

Hey Masaki-chaaaaan!
I started working at Club Rapier and it opened! Come visit me and request me as a host. And if you want to do any of the extra services, those are off the clock!

Masaki, it's ... [ been a while. he caught wind of her birthday party just recently, arrived to leave a small, send unmarked package at the doorway and slip away and now - ]
It's Levi. I wanted to speak with you about [ a pause ] that sensitive information you told me.

[It has been awhile. She received his gift, and was touched by it-even if she wasn't quite sure who it was from. It was rare for anyone to write anything with pen or pencil anymore.]
Hey Levi.
[She's been trying not to think of that but...it always comes up. One way or another.]
What about it? Did you want to talk about this in person or...?
Hey Levi.

[Because Winry knows how boys invite people to parties.]
[ooc: hyperlink in the invite takes you directly to party central. Invite a date, come and make it awkward. :D]

Masaki, I want to open a business and I need your help...
[What she's saying is true, it's just not all she means.]
I want to open up a bakery, so things can be sweet. Sweet and light and airy, everything life here isn't.

Masaki...? [He doesn't bother trying to hide the wistfulness from his tone.]
[ Once he is sober and properly rested... ]
I'm sorry.
[ It's completely inadequate, really, but he doesn't know what else to say. ]
I'm sorry.
[ It's completely inadequate, really, but he doesn't know what else to say. ]
[ Sometime after the dust settles, a small package will be delivered to Masaki's door. It's wrapped neatly, in gold paper.
There's a note inside that reads: So you don't forget.
It's nestled by a ring. There is an inscription; it should be no surprise: For my Empress. ]

[It's the day after Masaki introduced Jason to the concept of a booty call and it feels a little weird outright asking for sex, which is what he's sure Masaki will think even if he'd rather chat and play video games, but... Well, after all, that's not what Ariel wants out of him. And it's been nine days since he happened upon Susan, but he remembers her words clear as day - variety. Well, four days ago he was with Nico. So... probably need to have at least one other person he can turn to, right? And at least Nico and Piper have turned Jason on to sex that's not... internal. He's always thought of it as making out, but apparently it counts here? That's more than okay by him.]
Hi Masaki... Is now a good time for that call?
Hi Masaki... Is now a good time for that call?
[Poor Jason, suddenly getting a booty call on his lovely butt. But while she'd be fine with video games and the like, there's also trying to help people out. And seeing guys shirtless. And kissing them. Yup.]
Yup, it's just about perfect. Where do you want to meet up?
Yup, it's just about perfect. Where do you want to meet up?
[He's had a couple of days since his last meeting with Sephiroth to go though all of his emotions. Anger, unreasonable and guilt, as if he had done something different things would not have turned out this way. When Zack's package comes to the door, he knows he can't wallow in it any longer.
He is a SOLDIER, after all. The one who protects and helps others, right? He can't help anyone if he lets his emotions rule him so, especially the ones that Zack said would need him the most.]
Hey. [Is that really all he has? Angeal tacks more on before he sends the message.]
I know there isn't much I can say right now... But if I can do anything for you Masaki, let me know.

[She's tried not to think about it too much. But Frühling made it clear what she suspected. Zack wasn't coming back. But maybe, just maybe, he'd be all right out there.
She wishes she went with him.]
Thank you Angeal. It's kind of you to look out for me. I can't really think of anything.
