( maka doesn't know anything about this kyouko person besides the fact that she's a female. and giving another girl a present is way easier than giving a boy present. at least, she think so. anyway, there will be a box outside her door with her name attached to it. inside this said box is a pink teddy bear. because it's cute and we girls like cute things, yes? there will be a card too inside the book that says," Happy Holidays, Ms. Kyouko! - Love, Secret Santa!" )
[At least this is someone he can shop for! ... Sorta... Granted it's still Kirigiri and still a difficult feat, but it is someone he's mostly familiar with. So a gift box arrives, inside is a small leather pocket notebook/planner, and a note!]
Kirigiri-san
Thank you for all the help. I don't know if I would still be around if it wasn't for you [Even though it's still a possibility here apparently--] and I hope you have a great holiday.
I got you a notebook to keep notes in. You never know when something like that could come in handy. Granted, there aren't many mysteries here to solve, it could still help in that regard too.
Either way, I really appreciate all you've done for me and our classmates, so the least I could do was pick you up something for Christmas. I hope that our friendship will continue to grow in the coming year.
Thank you again, and Happy Holidays, and sincerely - Makoto Naegi
[This small package contains fingerprint powder and the newest fingerprinting kit. The card is a nondescript one but the handwriting is very neat and formal.
[outside on Kirigiri's porch, she should find a bottle of (very nice) wine, with a note attached. No, this isn't a gift to woo her, it's quite the opposite. Now that he's back to his usual rude self, that is.
"You might have just as much use for this as I do."
There's no name on it, but it should be simple for a SHSL detective to deduce who the sender is.]
[ Like on her birthday, the package has found its way indoors, rather than into the mailbox. Special powers, and all that. There's a note attached that reads from yukihina to kyouko and inside the wrapped box there's a filofax and a pen. Of course, he doesn't know if she has any filofax already, but it's always good to have a spare, at least. And pens get lost, so this one has a chain so she can hang it around her neck for easy access. Because pockets gets holes and all that. ]
[Sitting somewhere Kirigiri will find it (who knows where), there's a macaron wrapped up in a napkin. The napkin also happens to have a note written on it, because he's not wasting paper here. There's no name on the note, but between the demanding tone of the letter and handwriting she may or may not have seen, it's not difficult to figure out who it's from.]
Well I was thinking about going to the ball, but I wasn't exactly sure what I should wear to something like that. So I was wondering if you could help me pick out something. If it's not too much trouble, anyway.
[At least he asked Togami too, so it shouldn't be too weird to ask about, right?? Asking around is always good!]
[ that's right, she had heard about that ball that was being thrown... a masquerade, if she remembered correctly. it wasn't something that interested her too much, but a formal occasion was a formal occasion, and Naegi was Naegi. who was she to turn him down when he needed help? ]
I can try my best. Did you have anything in mind in particular?
Well, probably nothing too elaborate. I don't think I could pull off anything but simple really. I'm not really sure what kinds of outfits there are really, other than just suit and tie.
For basics, you basically have two options; the suit and tie that you're familiar with, and a tuxedo. The latter is more on the formal side and usually worn with a bow tie, so it's up to your discretion on which one you want to wear.
I've never worn a bow tie, but I think I could probably do that. A ball seems way too formal for just a suit and tie, anyway. Thanks for the suggestion, Kirigiri-san.
[At least he has that figured out! Though, he quickly sends another text after. He can't believe he forgot!]
I almost forgot to ask! Are you going to be going too? I know a couple other people are going, but I wasn't sure if you were.I probably should have asked that before suddenly asking about ideas for what to wear, thinking about it. Sorry about that.
You're welcome. Knowing how to dress for occasions like this is something you should know, so make sure you remember it. [ did that sound a little preachy? probably.
So far, I just know I've heard about Hinata-kun and Komaeda-kun going, but... I'm not sure about Enoshima-san. That's one of the reasons I want to go, is in case she does end up going there too.
Really? I'm glad to hear it. You being there will be a huge relief, Kirigiri-san. Plus, even if she doesn't go, it'll still be a nice way to relax and have fun.
