[Dirk makes sure to find the both of them together, not that it's hard. He probably shouldn't have marathoned getting this done, but it isn't like he's resting well anyway. It helps to have a project.
Yeah sorry kids, the malevolence is building up on this one again. But it isn't as bad, and getting to make these for Sorey and Mikleo helped a lot.]
The cameras I promised you.
[He holds them out to the pair, one in each hand. They're patterned after their clothing designs because Dirk is a big believer in matching to people's favourite colours.]
You'll be able to share them freely over the communication network. I'm working on developing an application to make that easier on everyone but for now you'll just have to forward the file. They take video and audio recordings too.
Really? That's amazing! I can't believe you did that so quickly.
[Managing to do anything with technology seems like magic to him, but it doesn't make him appreciate it any less. The malevolence makes him pause a little, and after a glance at Mikleo he adds,]
I hope it wasn't too much trouble. How are you feeling?
[well Sorey asked it so he didn't have to; he reaches out to take his camera, though, turning it very carefully over in his hands. his expression is touched, but he does wait for an answer to the question before saying anything]
[oh god they're still so sick. they have barely been out of bed in days. they're really used to being active and out and about for a good chunk of the day, though, and they're at the stage where the bedrest is starting to wear on them almost as much as the coughing and nausea -- they're wakeful, restless.
Mikleo is lying very very still right now, an arm over his eyes, trying to will himself back into a nap without much success; you tell me what Sorey's doing]
[Sorey was attempting to read, but with the nausea and aching and coughing there isn't much progress being made. Eventually he decides to call it a wash and closes the book, carefully setting it aside and rolling over onto his stomach on the bed.
But on top of being miserable sick he's bored and hot, and it takes about two more minutes before he's kicking his feet to clear himself of blankets and grumbling.]
[ In a bag outside Sorey's room will be a handful of cloth bookmarks with nowhere as neat stitching and small simple suns instead of hearts. Attached is a tag that says:
To: Sorey I want to thank you. I know you (and your friends) are warm enough to inspire every life you touch.
Hotaru doesn't sign it because she lost the courage to sign her message to Mikleo and since they are roomed together, it'd be weird to sign one and not the other.... ]
It takes Sorey a little bit to figure out who it could have been; he mentally sorts through who would want to thank him enough to send something like this before reasonably narrowing it down to her (Dirk probably doesn't make cute handmade bookmarks, after all). She didn't sign her name, but he still wants to say thank you, so he tucks the bag into his hands and goes in search of her.]
[ Dirk could 3D print some bookmarks? It could be him. You never know.
Hotaru isn't that hard to find, however, if he goes to the library. She's reading one of the horror books that got added to the library in September. ]
[He drops the two prototype goggles out of his deck. Yes, Sorey and Mikleo don't need them. He still made them in Sorey and Mikleo's respective colours, with GOGGLEOS all sleek on the side like a sports logo. Because Dirk's a nerd.]
These are the prototypes. I've installed it onto the rest of the equipment on a toggle on status, so you'll have to ask people to turn it on. It's just to ensure the equipment still works as goggles if the video equipment falters.
[ On the morning of December 25th, Sorey will wake up to a small, brightly wrapped package next to where he sleeps. Inside it will be a drawing of him and URSULA in her robot form, both looking through ancient scrolls together. The picture is also framed. Besides that, there are also cookies that she managed to bake herself! As she cannot taste test, they might not be perfect, but they are cutely decorated with “Happy Holidays, Sorey!” and other holiday themed items, like snowmen and reindeer.
Sorey is definitely making sure to take her on a Ferris Wheel date after spending a good portion of Christmas morning setting up extra lights around the island for maximum glow.]
[Somehow a small wrapped gift will make it's way to Sorey on Christmas day! It might appear in front of him very suddenly? "Santa's" gift delivery methods are a mystery sometimes.
Should he open it he'll find a small pin made of feathers in the shape of a flower. (It looks something like this, but a little more colorful.) Attached is a note decorated in cartoon flowers and hearts which reads:]
merry christmas sorey!!!!
this is from your secret santa!! :o a secret somebody told me that you liked feather accessories... so i tried to make you one! :D
