[An upbeat male voice comes on:]

Hey, it's Morgan! If you were expecting a girl, you picked the wrong picture. If not, then congratulations! But sorry too, because this means I've missed you. Leave a message!

Morgan? ... Um, if you have a minute, would it be all right to meet up with you?

[ Phones are so great. One second he's just sitting somewhere all alone, and the next he's talking to his cute and beautiful girlfriend. ]

Of course! I have as many minutes as you can handle. Where should we go?

[bloodandblunder]

Anywhere is fine-- ah, but it should probably be somewhere private.

[ don't sound suspicious or anything, Noire. ]

[memlost]

[ ...

what is he supposed to take from that ]

Then I guess that means my house is out. It's still a little lacking in intact walls. How about yours?

[bloodandblunder]

That should be fine! If you don't mind coming this way.

[memlost]

I'm only a hop, skip, and jump away! Which are all pretty similar distances, when you think about it. [ What a strange saying. ] See you soon!

[ Click.

FAST FORWARD to one minute later. He'll just show himself into the living room... ]

[ why were you so close, Morgan... but she'll greet him with a smile as she rises from the couch, hands behind her back. ]

You really weren't that far at all.

[memlost]

[ Morgan mysteries... And now he troops up to her and greets her with a smiling kiss. ]

You're as stunning as ever, Noire. What did you need me for?

[bloodandblunder]

I'm-- [ already flustered, THANKS. ] T-there's something I wanted to give to you, so could you close your eyes?

[memlost]

Hm? Well, sure.

[ The last time she asked him to do this, Awesome Things happened so he is more than fine with it. Without further ado, he closes his eyes!! ]

[bloodandblunder]

[ he'll feel something soft and cloth-like being pressed into his hands, before Noire speaks up again. ]

It's... not much, but-- [ it's a talisman! ] I had some sewing materials with me when we went looking for you while you were captured. And I dried some of the herbs from the garden, and there are bits of bone and a feather-- a few other things. It's supposed to be for good fortune and safe travels.

[memlost]

[ Oh... He takes the cloth-like thing carefully, feeling it vaguely but not wanting to break anything by accident. And... his eyes are still closed. He is somewhat confused right now. ]

Can I hope my eyes yet?

[bloodandblunder]

Oh-- yes!

[ oops. ]

[memlost]

[ Good, he opens them!! And now he can see the thing in his hands. Which is...?!

?!?! ]

[bloodandblunder]

... I-it's a talisman.

[memlost]

[ Oh!! It's so small... and cute. Also, it appears to be a bag. He turns it around and opens it curiously. ]

You made this? For me?

[bloodandblunder]

Yes... I'm sorry the materials aren't very good.

[memlost]

No, they're perfect! The whole thing is perfect. This way, I can keep it on me at all times, and I'll always have your protection. I love it, Noire! Thank you.

[ ... But he's still slightly confused. ]

[bloodandblunder]

You don't have to thank me... it's the least I could do for your birthday.

1/???

[memlost]

[ ... ]

[memlost]

[ ??? wait ??? ]

[memlost]

[ SHE's RIGHT ]

end

[memlost]

Oh gods, I completely forgot! I don't have anything for Morgan!

[ WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL HIM, NOIRE ]

[bloodandblunder]

...

[ ah. ]

Um, well, I'm sure she wouldn't mind something late?

[memlost]

There's still at least a dozen hours left in the day. I have to try!

[ This is important!! It's like their second birthday... and everyone knows that the earlier ones matter more!! ]
