A gift on your doorstep!

[ventriloschism]

[One day, you step outside your apartment to find a small box wrapped in brown paper, with a little tag on the outside. The writing on it is in a looping, feminine hand, and the whole thing smells of familiar flowers.

The tag reads:

'Thank you for understanding me.'

Inside is a carefully-carved wooden doll of the Mysterio costume, complete with little glass helmet filled with shimmery oil so it swirls when the doll is moved. The clothes are all hand-sewn in painstaking detail, the wood all worked and finished until completely smooth.]

[Beck is genuinely charmed by the gift. He hasn't made a lot of friends in his life and he's moved by Donna and Angie's story and feels like he can relate to them. He admires the doll and the handiwork and puts it on a special shelf before he sends a note back.]

Thank you. I will treasure this.

[ventriloschism]

[When Donna receives the note back, she smiles, pinning it up in her doll workshop.

She hasn't had many friends either. And now she has two.]

YOU HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED MAYUKO AS YOUR SECRET SANTA RECIPIENT.

SHE IS A GEM.
WE ARE FOND OF HER.

THEREFORE,
IF YOUR GIFT SUCKS, YOU DIE.

[Delivered to Mysterio - without wrapping or fanfare, but at least with a note - is a box set of DVDs of what this dimension considers to be Classic Movies, complete with special features (behind the scenes footage, cast and crew interviews, blooper reels, whatever fun stuff survived/was still available). Whether this dimension's classics are the same as the classics Mysterio knows is a crapshoot.]

You said you like the classics so I hope you like these.

Text (after a particularly rowdy poker night)

[criminallysane]

It appears I have your fishbowl

Well, technically the hyenas have it, but let's not quibble

[makeanentrance]

I don't have any fish...

Do you mean my helmet? I demand that you return it to me unharmed.

[criminallysane]

Calling this thing a helmet seems a bit generous

Fishbowl seems more accurate

Light fixture, maybe

But all right, okay

After the way the cards treated you last night, I suppose a little generosity is due

[ An attached video runs 12 seconds in length, and features two hyenas playing very roughly with a certain shiny dome. ]

Does have a certain gleam to it, doesn't it?

Anyhoo! You're welcome to come fetch it whenever you like

Except between 8 and 10, of course, or after about 11:30

As for its condition, I'm afraid you'll have to take that up with them when you get here

[makeanentrance]

You don't have to mock me after losing a piece of very valuable equipment in a card game.

I'll be there at 10.01. Same place?

[criminallysane]

Mock you? I would never!

[ Oh, but he would. Oh, but he did. ]

I'm just saying, it's the man who makes the equipment, not the other way 'round

Without your dear noggin, this so-called helmet is just another piece of shiny bric-a-brac

But yes, yes: same place, same code

[makeanentrance]

I am sick of remaking that equipment due to angry superheroes quick to smash my face while I'm wearing it. I don't need it to be damaged by villains and their pets too.

I'll be there.

[And he will be, punctually.]
