[Lust seems to be in good spirits when she contacts Al. She's restless and cheerful and there's things to do but she's found herself on her own.]
Alphonse, you're in Goldenrod, aren't you?

[ special delivery! there's a mareep egg with your name on it -- or well, the attached card, anyway.
it's a cute little festive scene of a Pidgey perched on a snowy tree branch, alongside some starkly crimson berries. There's a handwritten message, too; ]
Merry Christmas!
Maybe delivery's a little overkill but I didn't know if everyone was gonna be in Goldenrod or not and I wanted to make sure everyone got their gifts on the day. It's not much, but I wanted to say thanks for the help.

[ He'd totally forgotten Pidgey Post was a thing. And here he was fussing about how to get his presents out.
So have a Pidgey sent right back the day after with a rather nicely bundled package containing the following:
-a book of Kanto folk tales
-a fluffy red scarf (100% flaafy wool)
-and a hastily scribbled note that reads:
I hope this package got to you in time. Thanks for the presents. I really appreciate it. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! -Yukio ]

[That poor Pidgey had to carry so much... But on the other hand, Rin's ecstatic to have received such a great gift for Christmas! ...Though he has to wonder how Alphonse even found such a cool set of hat and gloves...
His return gift is beautifully wrapped and inside is:
-a palm sized figurine of a mareep
-homemade Christmas Cake
-a jar of fresh MooMoo Milk
-an assortment of homemade pokefood for Al's team
And, of course, a handwritten note that says:
Next year is gonna rock! Maybe we can hang out sometime? Thanks for the gifts. The cookies were good!
Merry Christmas too~

[Al will be receiving a nicely wrapped bag of chocolates today! His are all in the shape of little Cyndaquil. Along with the box there is a note:]
Happy Valentine's Day! I hope you have a super, wonderful, awesmazing day!
~Jimmy

[Shortly after this thread, Al is going to get a text from one (1) worked up ex-homunculus who is questioning reality.]
okay you need to tell me everything you know about the gate
[GETTING RIGHT TO THE POINT. But Al is the only other person here who'd know anything about how the Gate goes between worlds.]

Hiya Al! It's me, Jimmy!
So, you remember that Bulbasaur egg you gave me? He's been hatched for a while and he's real sweet. He gets along with all of my other Pokemon without a problem. ...but I actually haven't been able to think of a name for him yet? And it's gettin' kinda weird, just callin' him Bulbasaur all the time. I don't think he minds it, really, but I think he deserves a nickname like everyone else. I just can't think of one for some reason...
You got any ideas?

[Envy had done okay during the circus weekend. He'd managed to wear himself out enough during the shows to be able to just collapse in bed at the end of the day and fall asleep without thinking or dreaming.]
[But now the circus is over. The night is too quiet, and his room especially feels like both the emptiest place in the world and so full of the ghosts of memories that Envy can't stand it. He'd waved off the offers to keep him company, sure he wouldn't need it since he'd been fine over the weekend, but...]
[Well, he was wrong. And now he hasn't slept since Sunday night, because he was too stubborn to ask. So he dials what he's pretty sure is Lust's number, but he's not exactly paying attention.]
Lust, I still can't sleep, I--
[It's safe to say that Al has never heard Envy sound like this. He's not actually crying, but his voice sounds choked enough that he's clearly halfway there. He sounds frustrated with himself and completely exhausted, and then his voice goes very small and bitter.]
I never even deserved him in the first place.

[ And this text comes in sometime in the afternoon. ]
Sorry for holding us back. I'm awake now.

[Envy is upstairs when he sees this post go up on the network.]
[Did he know that the resident circus strongman gave a single solitary damn about Wrath? NO. HE DID NOT.]
[...there's only one person in the house who might be enough of a goody-two-shoes to blow their cover. Envy leaps out of the bed and takes the stairs down three at a time. THERE MIGHT NOT BE MUCH TIME. He sees Al on the couch and SLAMS his hands down on the back of it right behind him, hissing out in case he's on the line with someone.]
Don't tell them anything!

Good afternoon, I have the script for the first half of your radio drama. We have so many people, I'm doing two separate stories. I've attached the first script as a text file, your casting is listed at the top.
I hope it's not too frightening for children.
Script text file.
Don't worry, you have a larger role in the second half.

Alphonse, how has Wrath progressed?

Hey, Al! Call me back when you get this!
[That's it, that's all he gets. But Jimmy sounds excited, whatever it is.]

[Okay it's been long enough since Al went and dropped off the face of the earth that Envy is starting to get suspicious about vanishings.]
[HOPEFUL. HE MEANS HOPEFUL ABOUT VANISHINGS. IT'D BE GREAT IF AL WERE GONE.]
[YEAH.]
so did you actually disappear or did you just drop your gear into the wilderness lake you got teleported into the middle of
[Because on the chance that this doesn't just get an error back, he has to make sure it doesn't come off like he might be WORRIED AT ALL. He's not.]

Heeeeey, Al.
So, I know I've been a little disconnected lately, but I, uh.
Heard you hadn't checked in with anybody in the house for awhile.
Gimme a call if you get this message, yeah?

[Envy has actually managed to not run into anyone this morning. So far, anyway; that kind of luck couldn't last forever, and of course it's got to end in the worst way possible.]
[He's got Juliet following at his ankles this morning, as prim as ever and he suspects looking to get escorted to the park so she can take a swim in the fountain...at least until she's distracted by a certain dinosaur friend.]
[When she sees Trisha, she goes right on over to her instead, making a noise of greeting and sitting down with her tail curled around her feet. Is it time to exchange gossip? Of course it is. It always is.]
[Envy's noticed that his Vaporeon hangs around with Alphonse's Aurorus a whole lot, and the irony of their names isn't lost on him at all. But today their Pokemon's friendship must be annoying him than usual, because he actually says something out loud without really meaning to.]
Oh, come on, Juliet, did you want to go to the park or not?

Here's the first bit of our new radio drama! Casting is listed at top, we'll record through the week. It's called The Black Cofagrigus of Death, and it's appropriately spooky.

[It hasn't even been a full day.]
[Not even a full day since Heather had found Henry lying in the park, beaten all to hell.]
[It wasn't Walter who'd done it, and Henry had actually attacked the guy first, but Envy's blood is still boiling even thinking about the way his best friend looks right now, how bady he'd been hurt. He feels like he needs to do SOMETHING, but he has no idea what.]
[Which means it's time for him to be pacing outside, hands jammed into his pockets and muttering angrily.]

[It's another quiet evening in Violet and Ralph is hanging around the back of the Poke'Mart watching the trucks unload and the restockers start their business. He's gotten quite used to leaning against the wall with his arms folded but folded just so that anyone passing could see his security badge.]
[It's super important ok.]
[Carter sits by his heels, vigilant as ever watching the men unload the trucks. His collar has a little plastic police badge that Ralph got out of a vending machine pinned to it.]

[The dream opens with blood.]
[It's all around, covering everything, warm and sticky and slick. There's weight all around too, the feeling of being buried underneath some kind of heavy, suffocating pile...and soon enough, as the dreamer moves to try and claw up and outwards, it becomes clear just what the pile is. It's hideously soft, slippery human organs of all kinds, weighty and suffocating and impossible to get enough of a grip on to truly climb out from under.]
[Al's limbs will feel weighted down, clumsy, barely able to climb regardless, and it's impossible not to feel desperate, frantic, only wanting help out. There are people's voices, footsteps beyond the pile, surely...]
Eaugh! What is that thing!
That isn't him! That's not my son, what is it?!
Monster!
This isn't what I wanted!
[No, there's no help coming. And even as Al struggles to climb out, sharp currents of electric blue energy lance through the pile and across reaching arms.]
[There's no way out, no help coming, until the dream fades.]
