[Hey there. It's like 3pm Ryou should be sleeping since he's not diurnal anymore, but he has pressing concerns and wants a distraction after nightmares.
Also Atem is sleeping post cringe.]
hey spirit.
does it bother you that i call you that? I've just had a think about it and if i don't want you to call me landlord anymore then should I do something different?
Also this is a weird question and you're within your rights to say no but can you buy me something if i push solars underm y apartment door?
[There's a pause.]
*under my
The days are too long.

You should have told me you were leaving the book and laptop outside the apartment. I wouldn't want your things to be stolen, since I'm just borrowing.
Also I'm still not done with my board. Don't you need this more?
[It's done. Everything is settled. Ryou's been preserved well enough that Clint shouldn't figure out that there's a corpse in here, which would absolutely have been a problem if they'd tried to keep him there without mummifying him, or tried to sneak him in like oozy contrband around the start of the first October fog. The whole room's arranged, it smells nice, there's traps to protect him from any snoopy supers or hungry opportunists or anyone else who might get too curious, and now, all there is to do is wait.
Atem's seated in the living-room, in one of the chairs around the coffin-table, waiting for RS to finish putting the last touches on the defenses. He's not sure what you mean by "overkill," or how it might apply to this situation. He's going to take care of that body and make sure it revives somewhere that's familiar and not full of screams, fog, and cultists.
When the Ring-Spirit makes his way back down the hall to the common area, though, Atem speaks up.]
There's something you said earlier that I've been wondering about.
Since you followed me out of the apartment, I believe. Because...I definitely know you did, when I was hunting. You know, after my head grew in properly.
[Oof. This is going great, isn't it?]
So I just wanted to let you know I'm thankful for your help while I was gone, and um. Keeping Atem company. That was very kind of you.
I also wanted to thank you for your discretion when I was a child. I'm sorry I was probably a pain, since I was frightened of you. But I think you can kind of understand why...
Anyway I think that's covered it all. So. Yes.
[Ryou feels very awkward about all of this, and it's not helped by the fact that his little "quest" from Mana really did do a number on him. He might sound a little stressed out, even over text.]

Go look at it. Right now. She did our job for us, it's amazing. There is all kinds of leverage we can eke from this. After all, nobody's plugged a drain with YOU!
[ If the Ring-Spirit doesn't reply within like fifteen minutes he will also receive: ]
[On the night of December 24 the Ring Spirit will find a neatly wrapped package by his room with a small card that simply reads:]
Happy Nattenfest thief, Altair
[Inside is a nice wooden box with a painted chess set inside. The wooden edge of the chess board is painted to look like gold with notches along the edge like those in his millennium ring. The gold continues with the checkered design of the wooden board, the gold replacing the usual white squares. The black pieces are painted with a void like mix of black and deep purple not sparkly purple and the white pieces have a feathery look to them. The coloring symbolizes both sides to the Ring Spirit's puzzle, his dark past as a chaos god and the life he has worked so hard to make here in Ryslig.]
Inside is a new set of lock picks because she thought something better made for his hands would be nice. Next there is a warm looking coat made for a Harpy to comfortably wear.
The last thing is a set of tiny heavy metal figures that look like they would be the right size for an 8-person Monster World party. She had tried to get as many as she could to look like races from the game. Annie thought it would be fun! ]
Upon unwrapping it it, the Ring-Spirit will find many generic Monster World figures for the most common, legitimate variations of race and class. The box is actually a dark brown lacquered display box that Ryou had stained himself, with custom inserts to fit each miniature. There's two levels to the thing, since there's so many figures.
Just inside the box is a note.]
I hope that this helps you with your campaign, Spirit. There is a simplicity in what games we allow ourselves to play, and since I'm not doing a good enough job of finishing my board, it's up to you to show everyone what a cool game Monster World is!
I hope you have a good Nattensfest.
...I miss you. Sorry we haven't spoken much.
-Ryou
[Behold. One of...like...two cards that are not signed with his full name.]
[While it is not much, Jonathan has been careful to prepare for those within his table top group; As RS is the DM rather than a player however, he will find, in addition to a small tin of biscuits, a series of rather impressive depictions of any creature or encounter that could not have a figure ready in advance. He's done his best, and even put them in protective sleeves within a small booklet!]
[Noa is hopeful of the fact that neither RS nor Ryou realize they got rather similar gifts. The fact remains, both of them are definitely invested in tabletop and creating things for it. In RS' case, it's a lockable notebook planner for setting up such matters- there's even graph paper for that sort of thing. The Christmas card notes that he's fairly certain RS will go through these quickly. There's also a gift voucher for a crafts store- get those figurine materials yourself!]
So, I was thinking about my MW character... Now that I have a better idea of what the world is like, I wouldn't mind working out a few clues about where he came from...
[He gives it a few hours. After all, the Ring-Spirit isn't what you'd call a homebody. It wouldn't be surprising if he was out, getting up to nonsense, or working with the Choose the Fog movement....
...he only follows up if there's no response for over 12 hours.]
Is everything all right?
[It's not like the guy, to ignore something to do with Monster World...]
spirit somethings happened to atem. something awful
i might need help im messaging more people
[Ryou's texting is frenetic...and maybe the Ring-Spirit doesn't respond back, who knows what kind of monster he's becoming, or if his changes had been painful. Ryou's had been, but...he couldn't wait. They were changes he's experienced before.
...Some time after he's sent this message though, he bails to go rescue Atem with whoever shows up to the 38-8. He's not mad at anyone who doesn't, he simply doesn't have it in him to be upset at that.
Especially not after he finds Atem, blinded and in massive pain, scared and lashing out.
It's a few hours before he comes back to the computer to check anything at all, and he owes it to the Ring-Spirit to keep him informed.]
sorry. i had to leave. atem is home. hes hurt. i have to take care of him. i have to take care of him because his eyes are gone
but i'll keep this nearby. i wnat to talk to you
[It hurts very much to type right now, since Atem had bitten him on one arm, but Ryou will still leave the communication channels open.
[ The Ring-Spirit receives a package one day. It's addressed to "the god known as Richard".
Inside is a wrapped rectangular box. Inside the box is a book on how to predict the weather, for Rystrologists. It's full of actually practical and truthful tips, but dressed up in fancy pants arcane terminology.
[For this holiday season, a delivery: a very lovely gold collar necklace featuring a bird motif. The note attached, in purple glitter gel pen, reads: "from your secret santa."]
