I suppose it's not as important for you to think about as much.

But with that kind of outlook, I doubt you'll have much trouble finding a willing partner.

[Peter certainly likes the sound of that.]

[ It's a video of Murphy jerking himself off and then making a nice mess all over himself. The sound is on so you'll hear all the soft moans, grunts and the slapping sound that accompanies every hand job. Enjoy. ]

[This is probably one of the more awkward messages to send out. Jon doesn't actually know Peter that well, but... well. He's sort of liked what he has learned about him. Apart from the being a manipulative scoundrel. But properly forewarned, Jon's confident he can deal with that. Guard against it.]

I don't know what your safety situation is, but if you need any shelter in the Up, I can offer my office building.
We're hiding here until all of this fighting is over.
We have a decent stock of food.
Martin's good about keeping a store of it, apparently.

[On the 20th, Peter will receive a wrapped package at his residence. The only thing on it is a tag for "Morrigan" that's been printed. Inside is a fancy broach. Peter may or may not be aware of the association of magpies with thieves on old Earth, but Jon does and that's enough. There's no note to indicate who the gift is from, of course.]

I'm taking Martin out on a proper date for Valentine's Day.
Help me pick out something to wear, please?
Alessandro's going to put me in something outrageous if I ask him, and Lyall's just going to put me in a suit.

[ In truth, Sally had already been looking for half an excuse to spoil her friends a little; she still doesn't feel fabulous about missing Christmas, so when Duplicity's culture offered up a chance she thought, well why the fuck not.

Peter's gift appears to be a small metallic box (about the size of a large wallet)that opens into a red pallet of lipsticks on a few folding trays. There's a huge variety of shades sectioned into neat little squares, and a few rows of different types and tinges of gloss as well. The compact set folds out with a small mirror, and a little hidden tray containing two different two-tipped brushes for application.

... Well, actually, there are two hidden trays, but the second is not so easy to locate as the first, not quite so obviously apparent. And it takes a little pondering and pressing to unlock, not too unlike a puzzle box.

Inside is another smaller pallet with six squares, each with a rather curious label:

1. Vermilion Visions
2. Sanguine Sleep
3. Blushing Berserker
4. Titian Truth
5. Puce Paralysis
6. Scarlet Secret Undercoat

There is also a printed note attached which reads: ]

in case you get into a little trouble or want to have some fun PS--don't forget about the undercoat ;)

[ This is the entirety of the intended gift, but since when does stuff go according to plan in Duplicity? Ala the town's latest wonderful screw up, extra presents have come along uninvited. A very glittery, very small red thong is one. A bright red glass dildo that looks suspiciously like a rocket ship is another. And what kind of person gives an obnoxiously large dildo without some strawberry flavored lube.

Future Sally: fuck this fucking city and everything it fucking stands for. Fuck. ]

[Jon knows he really should have sent this message days ago, but he's been so embarrassed, and then dealing with the tentacle creature nonsense and worrying himself over what that ritual had actually done, searching every book of lore he could find on sex rituals. There have been things to give him excuses for the distraction. But he... cares about Peter. And he can't leave it hanging for much longer.]

I wanted to apologize for what happened at the start of May.
I never intended to take advantage of you.
I'm so sorry, Morrigan.
I hope you can forgive me.
You were exceptionally accommodating and the effects of that ritual were on everyone.
That's really my only excuse for... crawling all over you.
I promise nothing like that will happen again if I can stop it.

[He seems to be more inclined to crawl all over the man when odd effects are on than he'd like to admit to, as well.]

Peter receives a small package, via a common courier service. It's not very well wrapped, and the little tag on says -- in very rough handwriting -- that it's from Jack. Inside, a very pretty knife. (That definitely doesn't cost as much in Duplicity as it does on this site, yeesh.)

There's a note!

Dearest Morrigan - I have no idea what sort of things you might celebrate, but marking the solstice and the turning of the season from dark to light is always a favorite of mine. Please accept these gifts, my gratitude, and my affection.

From:

compellingstatement

[There are a few gifts for Peter this year from Jon each has a little note attached:

A gift card to a fancy clothes boutique - 'To dress your best.'
A small compass - 'In case you lose your way.'
A set of paints and brushes that come packaged together and indicate they're non-toxic for body painting fun - 'For a good conversation starter.'
And a fridge magnet - 'Accurate, really.'

There's an additional brief note.]

Thank you for this year and a half.
Love Jon

Hello. My name's Alaric. Hawke suggested I get in touch, and that maybe we should talk. When are you free?

[It's after the announcement airs about the ringing of the bells that Sally reaches out to Peter. They've already had their weekly chat, and it's the holidays, so she figures he probably has his own plans, but...]

Hi, sorry to bother you. I was wondering if you're interested in doing that thing with the bells, since we're being encouraged, and all. All in all, it sounds pretty normal by Duplicity's standards.

[Oh, sweet unknowing child. Her intentions are pure.]

No problem if you're too busy. Just thought I'd ask.

From:

Happy New Year, Morrigan.
Yrs, Bashir.

Along with the card, Bashir has sent along a navy pashmina shawl.

From:

[Probably the first sign that something is very wrong is that Jon actually calls, rather than texting. His voice is ragged and very, very small.]

Morrigan? Could you come and meet me at the archives? Something happened. I-

[He takes a deep breath.]

I was kidnapped earlier today, and... I need to talk to someone. Please?

I think Jon might be being threatened or held against his will because his recent post is really weird.

From:

compellingstatement

[Once he's in the church, Jon has sense enough to reach out to Peter, just to let the man know he's alive and all right. He's also trying to find out what the hell is going on, but between the censoring and the network failures, not terribly much gets through.]

Morrigan, I'm ~~stuck in~~ the Down.
What ~~the hell is going on~~ in the Up?
It's chaos down here.
SIN Guards are everywhere.
I think they're fighting the gangs?
The Rubies, maybe?
The train and Elevators are both ~~being guarded.~~
Are you all right?
I don't know how to get back.

[The message comes at 3 AM a few days after Jon's been incarcerated for a week.]

Is there something that's like sexting, but without the sex?
Romantic sexting?
Romexting sounds ridiculous.

[Jon is bored out of his mind, has been unable to sleep in this unfamiliar and unsafe place for the past 48 hours, and is without work to occupy himself. He can't even do Elias' stupid 'homework' without tempting fate on losing himself to his powers. That will almost certainly result in getting shot and left in an unconscious heap for half a day.]

[backdated to a day or so after this]

Jamie's relieved to hear from Morrigan after everything is said and done. He'd trusted that he would, but that didn't stop the concern. He feels like he should bring something with him as he heads over to Morrigan's place, but what the hell would make any of this better?

He makes it a point to look a bit... softer than he did the last time they saw each other. Still quite put together, but not the wicked creature that had been on the other side of the camera.

When he gets to the building, he gives Morrigan a buzz to let him know he's here.
