These are necessary, I discovered! Any private message to Ted's communicator will go here, if you please, so I may treasure it forever.

I'll be sure to think of tough, but fair criterion.

[aka stacking the deck so very, very hard]

[A rather delicious looking cake is left on Ted's kitchen table along with an anonymous note that reads "A Very Merry Unbirthday To You!"]

Voice

[youfool]

[This says some disconcerting things about how often Cheshire visits his bleak "home". He knows it's rarely in cat-kind's nature to listen, but just in case, he'll search up his phone and pray Ches. actually answers it.]

Thank you very much for the Unbirthday Cake, Cheshire. [He's tempted to return the favor, but he's worried about his weight.]

Please knock next time, lest you get lost or worse in you know where.

Nope XD

[riddlemehiss]

[Unfortunately for Ted, Ches is taking nap 32 of the day. His ears twitch slightly at the sound of the phone ringing, but ultimately decides to roll over and ignore it.

Typical cat. Bringing unannounced gifts and then not even bothering to listen to the feedback...]

[Someone sure grew up over the years. The little duckling is finished becoming a swan.]

Ted? This is Anastasia. I was wondering if you have time to talk. I have a...a peculiar request, but one that's important to me none-the-less.

Re: Video;

[youfool]

[She certainly seems older. How long has it been since they've spoke?]

Good evening, Anastasia. Yes, I've time. What is it?

[innocent_royal]

[Certainly a good long while. Hard to keep up social networks sometimes. 19 years old thanks to dream dock shenanigans leaves her with less time than she'd like.]

Good... How are you, first of all? I know it's been a long while. As for my request...

Well, as you may or may not know, I'm getting married next month. And... I've bee looking and I have no friends left, with only you remaining, one who saw things through with me from the beginning.

I don't plan to have anything big but, would you be so kind as to walk me down the aisle?

Re: Video;

[youfool]

Oh, very well, An. Very well. And you?

[Assuming he discovered what he did with Satori a few weeks ago. He spoke from a deep well of content, which her announcement rippled.]

Oh...goodness, congratulations.

[He said, cautiously, for he the last time someone tried marriage they both disappeared together.]

I'm honored you'd consider me. Who's the groom?

[And will he have to leverage a shotgun their way?]

Re: Video;

[innocent_royal]

A bit lonely, I'm sure you can assume from what I said. But satisfied none-the-less.

[Don't jinx it, clown.]

You may know him; It's Soma Cruz~

Re: Video;

[youfool]

Understandable; the world's been quiet lately, as if hibernating for the winter.

..Ah.

[He does get his magic doodads from the guy. He takes a moment to ransack what he knows of him personally. Sadly, they're both heathens, so he can't sign off right away.]

How old is he, again?
[He *said* twenty, but he's also Dracula reincarnated, apparently.]

Re: Video;

[innocent_royal]

He's 20, a year older than I by strange accounts.

[From time to time, she still struggles in her mind to think of herself as a 19 year old, having gained an extra 3 years from the dream docks.]

So you'll accept? You'll walk me down the aisle and give me away at my wedding?

Re: Video;

[youfool]

[He takes a moment to think, features pensive. They're heathens, for one, so the validity of the union is questionable. For another, Soma's abominable, or at least is wholly willing to do abominable acts.

But he'll settle on the one she's likeliest to agree with most.]

I can't, for reasons of doubt of identity. Who we are is a question yet unanswered, so it's not possible to give ourselves away fully in the way marriage demands.

[innocent_royal]

[Welp, that tanked all hope she had. But thankfully, she was prepared for it.]

Oh, I see... Like Satsuki, just trying to avoid any unnecessary attachments? Probably advice I should follow, tried to follow, but couldn't. The heart is just too persuasive.

Well... Thank you anyway, Ted. I'll go let Soma know.

Re: Video;

[youfool]

Aheh, not advice she took herself. No; just warning against rash oaths. Marriage isn't something to be unserious about. But I see you're determined. Well, good night.

[Hopefully he's wrong about who they all are. Alas, his rightness is uncanny.]
