( the box is wrapped plainly, but crisply, (he's gotta use his steady hands for something, right?) and left on the pile of Secret Santa gifts at the Bridgerton Christmas party. January's name is scribbled on the gift tag.
a package of foil-wrapped chocolate fish sits above a longer package with a scarf folded inside.
fish aren't cute, and the pandas aren't dancing, but it's something, right? Simon signed him up... but he fulfilled something for January )
[ At some point post-holidays, January will find a little pink box full of homemade shortbread cookies waiting at his doorstep — decadently buttery, just the right amount of sweet, and paired with a note:
January,
Something tells me you could use some biscuits, so here you go. :) Enjoy!
Oh, that won't really matter. They'll pull those from thin air, like they plucked us from our worlds.
I have two main theories for that they're either our sex cam clones are told to do as LIEs want, or they can actually take images from alternate versions of ourselves.
Oh god, you're right they would be. Ugh, I hope that's not a trend that catches on here. But yeah! 3D foam sculptures, they're amazing. It's the most popular in Asia - of course - but now and again you can find it elsewhere. In London it was usually pop-up shops.
I don't know about it being scandalous, but I bet people definitely think it's weird.
I was a principal dancer for the Royal Ballet. Well. I mean, I started off in the corps de ballet right after I moved of course. But eventually I made it to principal.
Ah, if you search for yourself you're going to find a sex cam who appears to be you but obviously isn't.
That's basically it. You can't find them in the city physically although I'm told that when they first appeared LIEs encouraged us to find and kill them.
Yeah. Maybe there's some big weird boarding school
somewhere that they all go to until they're ready for all...this.
[How do you prepare a young person for a life in some kind
of...weird BDSM cult city?? Do they get collars and cuffs at random when
they turn 18 or do they think there's some kind of genetic component?? He
knows these questions will never be answered.]
You would probably know that better than I do. I mean, aside from the random drugging. And the sometimes turning into monsters. And the getting stuck in what seems like an abandoned building that you can't leave.

Suffering Christ this place is a bit insane.

Date: 2025-10-05 08:25 am (UTC)This place is illogical. The only consistency is the theme of sex and doing what they can to mess with us.
