[ even if there is a capability to record a voicemail message, shijima sadly wouldn't bother. welcome to a world of silence. please put the date and method of contact in the comment header. As of mid-July 2701 Shijima will have a cat-collar connection to Hiro's network consisting of herself, Hiro, Jason, Loki, Billy, Eren, Lumina, Lemina, Thrall, and Howard, so those people can contact her from that point on with that network which will persist through the timeskip. She also completely fails to enter any sort of voicemail message for that, WHAT UP. ]

12/25.

[winterwork]

[On the morning of the 25th, a pair of ice sculptured mice will appear at Shijima's window. There's string tied to each of their tails with colorful feathers attached to be played with.]

[liven]

[ She's going to keep the colorful feathers and string...thank you Jack ]

voice; 1/26 let's say

[cagedinflesh]

I've news for you, which I had planned to hold on to until our next meeting in person. However, it's been some time, too long, I feel. You deserve to be told by now. I have made a contract - found a Master, that is.

voice; 1/26 let's say

[liven]

I got caught up in other matters. I'm at Mair now. I should be back for the feast; I'm going to ask a favor from someone who can get there in seconds.

[ She sounds annoyed about that part, but hey. Asking for help isn't her strong suit. ]

Who did you make a contract with? Someone from your world?

[cagedinflesh]

Ah. I've heard it's an interesting place.

[His kind of place.]

No, someone you know, Hikaru.

[BUT THAT'S NOT ALL IT GETS BETTER]

[liven]

It's all right. I'm dealing with a mess, and then I guess I can stay at Caer Scima.

[ Actually she'll...just end up going back to Mair when they're refugees...Lumina's going to offer to let her lurk around the chocobo farm indefinitely. ]

Hikaru? [ A note of mild interest. ] She's not what she seems. Her smell isn't human.

[cagedinflesh]

No, not at all. I had quite disliked her. But as it turns out, the girl is a truly remarkable disguise.

She is Lucifer.

[liven]

[ Give her a second. ]

The christian devil? [ CATS AREN'T...THAT RELIGIOUS...but she definitely does a double take. ] No wonder she doesn't care for angels.

[cagedinflesh]

That's right, everything falls into place with that revelation. He gave permission to tell only you, quite the honour, he seems to think rather highly of you.

[liven]

I won't tell anyone else. [ Who else would she tell it to, anyway. She gossips with Hyde more than anyone else...this is the sort of thing she would totally tell him... ]

I wasn't aware he thought highly of me, but I guess he isn't bad. I suppose his playing pretend has more of a reason than it doesn't. [ Pretending to be human, she means. Being the devil is probably legit reason to play pretend. ]

[cagedinflesh]

I am certainly able to sympathise with his position. Reputations are an inconvenient thing. The true form is also something to see. You should keep an eye for it on the battlefield.

February 8th, Evening

[chaoticwhimsy]

Shijima! You there? Were you fighting? Are you alright?

February 8th, Evening

[liven]

Of course. [ Like she can die...or like she would let herself die in such a stupid way. ] To all three. All my limbs are still attached.

[ Are...they occasionally not attached Shijima why did you even specify that... ]

You're fine? [ is that something approaching concern? who knows. ]

i got busy...

[liven]

I will. I know Hikaru's scent. So I can find it no matter the form. Anyway - this gives you power benefits?

February 8th, Evening

[chaoticwhimsy]

Uh. [Hang on a second.]

Yeah, I'm...I was at the castle when it got attacked but I'm...okay. [Physically anyway. She's a bit subdued.]

Do...have you lost your arms before? Is that a thing?

February 8th, Evening

[liven]

An annoyance cut one off once, but I tied it back on, so it was fine. Better than having to grow new ones.

[ SHIJIMA WHY ARE YOU SO FUCKING WEIRD ]

I prefer not to have to do that sort of thing. I can't hold this shape if it happens. [ Because she's actually always in pain as it is; the tenpenka forces cells to misalign and basically...kills people...but since she's undying as long as she sucks up the pain she can do whatever shapeshifting wise.

Or could, before the monarchs locked her forms. ]

Did you need something?

February 8th, Evening

[chaoticwhimsy]

You tied it back on.

[That's weird.]

Oh, right, uh. You heard about the jabberwock right?

February 8th, Evening

[liven]

It was easier.

[ it doesn't sound easier...moving on. ]

Yeah. We're supposed to protect it or whatever, right?

February 8th, Evening

[chaoticwhimsy]

Yeah! My imps said it likes lavender and puzzles! I'm trying to get some lavender now but even if we get a bunch of both we're gonna need people to help get it back to the castle!

Without actually going anywhere near it because it makes your skin melt.

February 8th, Evening

[liven]

Skin melting doesn't bother me.

[ IT'S NOT FATAL SO WHATEVER...even if it should be fatal she has that little issue about dying so. ]

You're asking for me to come along, right? [ Clarifying. It seems more likely than a random surge of concern...Shijima's not great at friendship. ] I don't think I have any further orders in regards to this battle, and the protecting was an order, so why not? I'm in. Just tell me where to go and how to get there.

February 8th, Evening

[chaoticwhimsy]

[Why are all her friends so weird?]

Yes! But we don't know where yet. I'll come and get you when we do okay?

February 8th, Evening

[liven]

[ lumina do you have a type... ]

Mhmm. I'll nap until you come and get me, then.

[ ...........in..........an active battlefield?

shijima what the fuck ]

February 8th, Evening

[chaoticwhimsy]

[Yup.]

Maybe...move away from the fighting first?

February 8th, Evening

[liven]

Oh, sure. No one will pay me any mind. I'll just drop this.

[ form, she means. she'll hang out as a cat in a tree or something. ]

no worries!!

[cagedinflesh]

I would be interested to know if she smells any different.

Yes, quite some. A great deal more stamina, generally greater abilities in every area. The healing will be good. Moreover, we share a mental link which will certainly have its benefits.
