[He thought it best to wait until the next day to even speak about this, as yesterday was indeed a very busy one, but it has been leaving him unsettled the entire time.]


I know it is typical to receive chocolates or simple gifts for Valentine's Day, as it the custom, but did any others receive larger gifts from an unknown source?

Maybe you have a someone looking out for you.
Did you receive something useful?

[heartofasamurai]

It is very useful, yes. Beautifully detailed. Yet I am unsure why someone would go to such lengths.

[inflictwounds]

Aren't Valentine's gifts generally because people are in love with you?

[heartofasamurai]

I do not see how that would be possible. I have only been at the school for six weeks.

[inflictwounds]

Don't humans fall in love fast because your lifespans are so short?

[heartofasamurai]

Humans fall in love in whatever time span makes sense for the person, I would assume, but I doubt I have been here long enough to engender such a response.

[Why would you say such a thing? He has not made enough friends for this. He cannot think of anyone he has met who could be sway in such a way and not be completely obvious about it.]

[inflictwounds]

Why are you assuming what humans do? Aren't you human?

[He's...getting a little off track.]

Well, if it's not cursed then they probably don't hate you, even if it's not love.

[Sometimes this is just how it is, Seiji.]

[heartofasamurai]

Yes, but I am not all humans. I do not speak for everyone. We are all different. As I have never experienced that feeling, I will not speak as if I have.

I do not believe the person who gave the gift is nefarious in nature. I am merely confused and would like to thank them for their kindness. I was hoping others might have more information for me to proceed with to finding the individual.

I did! It was incredibly thoughtful and sweet. Mystery-anon is a wonderful and generous person!

I don't think it's common but I got one too σ(￣、￣〃)

was it wrapped in striped paper?

[heartofasamurai]

That is good to know, Miss Orihime. Perhaps these are gifts from a kind friend.

[heartofasamurai]

No, mine arrived in a wooden crate. They could still be from the same person.

[hippocarnival]

you're right

it was a nice gift anyway, but i wonder who it was

[He has a guess but he won't just out Toki over the network.]

did you get a pony

maybe a coffin

a pony in a coffin?? damn dude that's fucking dark

[inflictwounds]

You've never been in love?

Have you considered a reverse tracking spell? You could probably use that to hunt them down.

[leekspins]

[She's kind of figured out who it is, but she doesn't want to spoil his surprise if he's trying to stay anonymous.]

Yes, definitely! I wouldn't worry about it too much.

I didn't get any gifts, but getting something large sounds unusual. What is it?

[heartofasamurai]

Not as of yet. I am still young and things will happen as they may.

My tracking spells work when the object has been more firmly handled and has traces of the person's essence left on it. The gift I received had more of the essence of the creator, not the buyer.

[heartofasamurai]

I would still like to thank them for how thoughtful the gift is. It is not something I would have thought to purchase for myself, but very useful.

[heartofasamurai]

Indeed. My main concern was that the person may have some misdirected expectations, as it was delivered today of all days.

[heartofasamurai]

Why would either of those items go together?

[heartofasamurai]

It is a display shelf for my swords. Beautifully crafted and engraved.

[deuteranope]

I don't fucking know if ponies become glue like horses or what the fuck happens to them but why not coffins

[yokeye]

[He doesn't get around to looking at the Network until a few days after Seiji's inquiry.]

SEIJI I'M SORRY!
IT'S FROM ME!
I DIDN'T MEAN FOR IT TO CAUSE YOU SO MUCH STRESS!
I JUST WANTED TO GET YOU SOMETHING NICE
BECAUSE I LIKE YOU!

[heartofasamurai]

What would make you think that coffins would be involved in a Valentine's gift?
