Are you still around the perimeter, Lapis? We've found him and are in the process of allowing Jusis to handle the sealing.
[Please say you're close but not TOO close the whole sealing spell makes him so uncomfortable, despite knowing it himself.]

[He knows exactly how this is about to go, but he doesn't want to fly blind, so...]
Do you know anything about gifting flowers?

[He attaches no message, just a picture.]
Need your advice again.
[A little time had passed since they'd been freed from that damnable cabin. Given the fact that Diarmuid never saw her in that Purgatory, he'd assumed Lapis and the others survived.
They all needed space to breathe, to begin the painful side of the recovery process. But more often than not Diarmuid found himself worried about others, even if he had only just met them.
And given how explosive things became in an instant on that third day, there was someone in particular he wished to contact. Some time before setting off on the month long sea voyage, Lapis received a text.]
Lapis? This is Diarmuid ua Duibhne. My apologies if I'm disturbing you, but I wanted to see how you've been doing.

[Hey Lapis you want a rapid fire?]
hey can you tell those two blockheads on your crew to check their bloody phones?
... fuck.
fuck's sake fine whenever you see this
just tell me when
get on the rock's for brain's arseholes case anyway!

[Yeah, so. Lapis might be in for another round of her phone blowing up. These are all separate messages.]
Hi, Lapis, I hope everything's going well.
Just wanted to check in. Are you doing okay?
Lapis?
So, uh, just for the record, there's definitely some kind of situation here.
Can you let me know when you see this? I'm worried.
Situation's taken care of, more or less. I think this should go through now?

We need to talk, in person.
[On Christmas morning, Lapis will find a large blue box tied with gold ribbon in front of her door. On the gift tag, it reads:
To Ms. Lapis De Fiore,
From one tea enjoyer to another, I hope this present finds you well. Please handle with care and happy holidays.
Sincerely,
Saori Nakagawa
Inside the box contains, a pair of moon themed mugs, a crescent moon tea infuser, a small sampler box of loose leaf teas, and a homemade Buche de Noel chocolate yule log cake that could serve for two.]

[At some point, a bit after that... extremely alarming post on the network, Lapis will find Fugo's fire spirit familiar approaching her with a bag in its mouth.
The bag contains a selection of various useful elixirs from Hyrule, a few useful items that were picked up in Undertown, and a note:
For going into the Labyrinth. Be careful.

Lapis, are you there?
Mewew~
[There's definitely the view of a certain catke wiggling right in front of the camera. In fact, he looks very familiar as the camera adjusts to show Ayato on the other side.]
...ah, I see you've already started recording ahead of me. Hello, Lapis, I don't suppose you know what to do with these? I found it after it appeared in my apartment and began chewing on my cypress bonsai. [Cheeky little fuck, it's lucky it only swallowed a small branch and not more than that. He sighs.] I have no idea how it even came here, let alone got inside. I know you asked about them previously- is there anything you can tell me about them?

[Sometime before Teresa's untimely demise during the month of March, a curious little silver butterfly slides an unaddressed envelope underneath Lapis (and Jinwoo's???) door. It happens during the night, and it's very quick; the little spirit zips away like a firefly as soon as its mission is done.
The envelope is a startling crimson red with a silver butterfly seal. Inside there is a typed letter.]
A demon once lost a bet against a ghost.
The ghost could have taken anything,
but the demon had nothing of worth
besides a bright-eyed little girl:
his most precious treasure.
The ghost did not covet,
but as he was a king among ghosts,
he prepared a place for them in secret.
The City's doors are open to the world's ghosts--
dead, nameless, unwanted, or otherwise.
If you cannot walk in the sun,
descend to the dark,
and follow the red lanterns.
[It appears to be a letter saying that this family can seek shelter in case of trouble.]

[ as requested, the next day is a day off work, both from Order obligations as well as the Vogue. Packing a lunch for the both of them, they're off to kanto once the sun sets, and within the hour, they find themselves sitting on a sturdy picnic blanket Jinwoo had bought from one of the kanto shops.
It's spread out and they're watching Stone run around the big field, chasing a few small pokemon who have started to realise the gigalith was a gentle giant just wanting to play a game--maybe thanks to the fact that Jinwoo had also summoned tank, along with Lapis' hellhound to join in the game.
He's slowly chewing on a riceball as he half-turns his head to look at Lapis with... nearly a guilty look. He sighs.
They'd left their phones at home, at his request. They should be alone, by now. ]
I have something to admit to you.
I hope you won't be angry with me.
And if you are, then. Try to forgive me, too.

[ sleeping next to someone was something he'd gotten very used to in the last few months, either curled around or tucked up with Lapis became something so normal.
Today wasn't normal, though. getting used to being physically warm again was a bonus. As was not being somewhat focused on the beating of Lapis' heart as she's so close to him.
As such, he doesn't think much when, in his waking minutes in the morning, he curls in a little to cuddle closer to lapis.
Tucking his head in against her neck a little and...
...Jabbing her right in the cheek with a small, but curled horn that was now curling out from under his hair. Sleek and black, with ridges like some sort of lizard's all along it. ]

[Hey Lapis, you know how Ayato has been actually irritated by a week-long migraine that's interrupted his work recently? And how he'd quietly complain about it over text?
WELL.
Lapis is getting this on the first of the month, with no added context.]
My migraine seems to have disappeared finally.
[Why does it feel like there's a huge "but" to that sentence.]

One of those flying boxes gave me a new phone. Texting from my old one because I don't know how to turn it on. Where's the on button?
[At some point, after Fugo’s message, Lapis will get a rather frantic call on her phone.]
[It’s from Rose.]
Lapis! Lapis, are you there?
[It’s from Rose.]
Lapis! Lapis, are you there?

[Lapis knows Ayato well enough to get what his tone says without him having to say anything about it.
His tone is ice cold, stern, no nonsense.]
Where are you.
[Not a question, a bit of a demand, actually. He’ll apologize after a while but right now he just needs to be sure she’s out of reach of Douman and Dickson.]
I haven’t come across them, but I need to know where you are. …Please.
