[The note is slipped under Justin's door, and comes folded around a copy of this message posted on the board earlier in the day.]
You could tell me about it. Or you could continue being petulant with Jay, and assume that I never heard about your situation and am not willing to change, even if you were mature enough to present to me such a compelling argument. Your choice.
Perhaps in the future you could simply learn to accept when people say that something makes them uncomfortable, without requiring complete explanation of the reasons why.
Cute. But it's never been in my nature to assume something without proof. Emotions are particularly volatile beasts; people tend to misinform and exaggerate when they think they have your psychological support. I like to make sure that I'm not being lied to before I submit to someone's "discomfort."
[Justin will find the following threatening letter in the mailbox should it be checked.]
I’ve been watching you all closely. Waiting for the opportune moment to arrive. And now it has, my gems and jewels. Now is the time I’ve taken her. That Mailsloth you’ll never miss. A mere trinket amongst a sea of true gold and silver.
Never let it be said that we dragons do not have restraint, hmm? All the treasures of this world to pick over and I’ve only taken something you shan’t miss. Most of you, anyway. Even if you want her back, though… you’ll never find her.
Not in her tree where the best leaves do grow. Not at the pond where she’ll swim to and fro. Not in your houses, for what is there there? Not at the board where you pull out your hair. Check in the tower; we dragons love those. You might find a clue, but who really knows?
[Sup, stranger, winter is approaching and that means Xanthous is giving out knit goods like candy. It's the unfortunate result of having too many hobbies and too much free time.
Justin will find a bundle wrapped in paper outside of his home, with a pair of socks, mittens, and a scarf inside as well as a note.]
Does he acknowledge Xanthous in any way? No again.
Does he wear the scarf constantly as soon as it gets cold because it's a nice scarf (or, you know, because it was a present and he's really not used to those)?
[Eliza's going to leave a drawing in Justin's mailbox the night of Christmas Eve. It's a picture of him and Sneg, with his arms wrapped around the dog and her licking his face. She's done her best to draw a smile on his face, although admittedly it's not something she's familiar with. The drawing is signed and has "Merry Christmas!" written on it.]
[On this day, Justin will get a small red box with a white ribbon, telltale sign that this was the magic cupcake he signed up for. Inside is a pumpkin flavored cupcake with cat ears sticking in the back, made frosting. The note reads:]
To Justin Law,
Happy April Fool's Day!
This cupcake was made specially in celebration of a fun day! And with that comes special rules, especially with this being your first animal spellcake:
1. Before consuming this cupcake you must be in a comfortable spot, one you're familiar with. Cats tend to wander but try starting out somewhere you know best.
2. You might experience something called instinct overload, as your new animal instincts and senses will take a few moments to adjust. Since you have a predator animal, you might experience some instincts to hunt prey. Take a moment to ease those thoughts and center yourself. As a cat, you might also experience an increased desire for naps or other cat behavior.
3. You will experience no discomfort in your transformation though I suggest accommodating your clothes for the tail. It's no joke. I don't know what effects my magic will have on weapon traits but they shouldn't be a bother.
[John doesn't like Justin. He doesn't particularly want to talk to Justin, but what he does want... is to understand what's going on with Kid. And Justin is from the young Reaper's world.
He 'rings' the doorbell at Justin's house and waits for the other man to answer the door.]
[He'd rather not. His hackles are up just thinking about it. But he narrows his gaze and steps inside. John doesn't sit down, and he doesn't keep his back to Justin long, knowing the other man won't be able to hear him when he speaks if he does.]
This should be quick. Have you ever known him to hurt himself purposefully?
[Well, if she has to send Justin an apology letter, she might as well make it the worst apology letter of all time.]
Justin,
I apologize for changing your body without your input. I can only imagine how awful an experience that must be. Only a villainous scoundrel such as myself could commit such a deplorable act. An upstanding citizen such as yourself would obviously never do that to a person. I am intensely remorseful and see the error of my ways.
As well, sorry for hunting you. Predator instincts and all.

I don't, actually. It's on you whether you accept my heartfelt apology.
