[Call it Christmas in July. Call it boredom. Call it a pathological need for attention. Whatever you want to call it, gifts start showing up, ever so mysteriously, at people's doors and in common rooms throughout the week of the fourteenth.]

Daneca Wasserman ] A pair of deep purple gloves (the same color her hair was when he first met her), with silver buttons at the backs of the wrists.

Cass Cain ] Ten fluffy pillows, velvety dark blue with tassels, which are less placed and more piled outside her cabin. Also brownies.

Iris Wildthyme ] Scented candles, Bertie Botts style, in scents ranging from fresh-cut pine tree to alligator breath. They are all shaped like hearts.

Mira Hidalgo ] A blank, leather-bound journal.

Horatio Hornblower ] Lots of weed. Also gloves, but practical ones, all black.

Needy Lesnicki ] A hand-width clear glass figurine of a dragon, and a butterfly knife, which arrive before his text with the message I can show you how to use it.

Chris D'Amico ] Gold cufflinks in the shape of coiled rope, to match his best suit, which, when twisted in a certain way, come apart to reveal tiny lockpicks. Also homemade dog treats.

Slevin Kelevra ] A grinning black cat keychain, key attached, no label, and another pair practical black gloves.

Gwen Stacy ] A tiny hexagonal prism on a silver chain, with little lines drawn on the side to make it resemble a titration tube.

Anya Lehnsherr ] Gauzy, metallic yarn, the kind that's almost impossible to knit with without a magnifying glass, and a note: Do you know what a blacklight party is? We should have one.

Scott McCall ] A box of condoms. Inside there are no condoms, just a note that says lol. There is also a set of four amulets - which just look like stones on long chains - labeled Scott, Allison, Lydia, Stiles.

Zane ] A möbius ladder, a couple of feet across and made of copper, and some pot brownies, labeled These are pot brownies.



[Other gifts, less personalized, show up at random in all of the common rooms - some, too, as centerpieces in the middle of dining hall tables, or balanced on treadmills in the gym. Most are made of sandstone or copper, new materials he is working with, while some are glass or ceramic, old favorites; all are about a hand's span across.]

[There is one little sculpture that look suspiciously like a three-dimensional Mona Lisa with a fauxhawk. There are many flowers, some real and some utterly imaginary. There is only one cat, the pale gray of unglazed clay, with the inscription HA HA underneath it. There are relatively few twisted human bodies in the mix, but there are a couple (though none in the dining hall). Otherwise, it's a mishmash of animals, plants, random letters, and impenetrably abstract shapes.]

[Cassel himself can be found coming and going from these drop-offs if you're very sneaky, or in the gym, where he not only works every day but practices with renewed vigor with his butterfly knife. He is pretty sure that now that Cass is back, he has something to prove with it. He doesn't know what, but whatever it is, he'll get to it just as quick as he can.]

[ Butterfly knife? ]

[ Butterfly knife. ]

[ That calls to Mindy like a siren song. It's practically an invitation for jealous staring from just beyond the bag she is currently beating the tar out of. ]

[Alright, she's convinced. The people on the dumb ship are determined to keep her from living in squalor and it's the ones she actually cares about that are doing it, so.

The pillows are brought inside and dumped on the bed. The brownies she leaves on her dresser, not quite willing to throw them out but also not exactly willing to let someone poison her. There was no note and blue pillows don't have any kind of symbolic meaning so how should she know they won't automatically kill her? The Admiral likes to play jokes sometimes, she remembers at least that much.

Something makes her feel like a walk, and that same something brings her to the gym and there is Cassel and his body language is practically screaming for her, so she'll head in, watching him silently as he flips his knife around. She waits until it's on an arc to snap closed before speaking, not wanting him to cut himself.]


You've been practicing.

[ He tracks Cassel down (idly, not really like it's urgent) and finds him at the gym. ]

You know, the last time I had brownies you made, I got into a long talk about my father with a stranger.

[ Arched eyebrow. Such suspicion, Cassel!! ]

You're so kind.

[ It was also... not too bad, that one time. He'd felt freer. ]

And considerate.

[She nods and there's a fire that goes through her and she wishes for one dark moment that Abigail had never turned up on deck her first day back. She wishes that she had had that knife to jab as deeply into Two-Face as she could, that she had been able to stab and stab and-

But she focuses, keeps her eyes on Cassel and her head in what's happening now. Now is important.]


Gave it for protection. And I... remember everything, about you.

I slept really well after it, too.

I'd have food ready this time.

[ He seems a little awkward in his own body. He's still remembering being a woman. It'll wear off in another few days, he thinks, the immediacy of it, but it was certainly strange looking back. ]

Is this - something in particular? [ He's holding the mobius ladder between his fingers. ] I keep thinking I've seen something like it before, but I don't remember.

[She also remembers how he was before he liked her, distant and more likely to flinch away if she tried to touch him than ever, ever put his arms out for a hug like he's doing now. How can she turn that down, reject his progress? She can't, so she goes to him and slips her arms around his waist and hugs him, loosely.]

Good. Don't have to... follow you everywhere, that way.
