hi mom, good morning :D
it might rain today so i was wondering if me and dave can take one of the cars
maybe the mini van
oh but then you wont have a car right :\

also i can pick up dinner!
unless dad has plans already???

[ okay pretend it's more sketchy/~symbolic~ but Jack sends over two rough drawings. There's the outline of a woman and wires in the shape of wings, but there's no detail on her specifically - the whole thing has a bizarre mix of biomechanical and stained-glass influences. ]

something like this
wrt to the tat
sorry about the whole thing abt my sexy fine ass boots
wasnt exactly expecting it to get that uh
yknow
THAT

So, back to going to normal texts like normal human beings.
You really mad about the whole boot thing?
I thought it was funny, even by my standards.

LIZ THERE ARE PONIES MADE OUT OF DIAMONDS!!!

[ on the morning of the fourteenth, elizabeth, along with bigby, will be roused from her sleep by her daughter. she'll serve her parents breakfast in bed. the bottles, unfortunately, are nothing fancy but sparkling apple cider.

later that day, when elizabeth returns from work, she'll have a box of chocolate dipped strawberries set out for her on top of a card.

there is still no table, and the inside of the card holds a dollar bill, and a message: ]

im sorry for what i said after the whole table thing :(

[ if Liz thought Jade would be the only one pampering her today, she would be sorely mistaken. not that she has any reason to think otherwise considering the number of Valentine's they've spent together by now, but alas.

while she is at work, she'll get an unexpected delivery from a middle-aged man carting a rather colorful collection of roses, lilies, carnations and who the hell knows what else inside her classroom while calling out for an Elizabeth Wolf. Bigby intended on that to happen for maximum fluster. with it is a handwritten note. ]

Happy Valentine's, Mrs. Wolf.
Be happy I left the lingerie I got you at home.
(Just kidding, you have plenty of that already)

Love, B.

[ when work is over and done with and she walks to the parking lot to get to her vehicle, she will also notice something is in her seat before she is able to plant her lovely butt in it. it's a case. when she opens it up, she'll notice three of her favorite cigars, a brand new cutter and the initials "EAW" engraved into a piece of medal attached to the leather. Bigby apparently took the time to drop it off without saying hello.

what a dick. :( ]

[ jade's twiddling her thumbs.

she's not quite dressed yet, since putting her hair up is a lost cause without an extreme amount of hair spray. bigby's genes are relentless and the sheer volume of her lion's mane-slash-bird's nest is ludicrous, meaning that the easiest way to tame jade's hair is a thorough ironing. while elizabeth does her make up for the night (jade had made sure her father was excused so that she could change in her parents' room comfortably, of course), jade's heating up the flat iron next to her. she's got one of her shorter dresses on for the moment, because there's no way her father or mother would let her out of the house on a date with dave with her gams showing all their worth.

jade is still twiddling her thumbs, staring down at the iron. she's watch elizabeth pile on her make up countless times, just like she's watched bigby shave countless times. shuffling into the bathroom as a child under the guise "i gotta pee!" just to sit there and stare because the act of grooming yourself is so weird to you is a timeless classic. she doesn't do that anymore, though, because she's not seven anymore. jade has to groom herself now.

and now she's ironing her hair for a date just like her mother curls her hair for a date and it's all very different, and new and... it should be exciting, but. ]

Sooooooooo. Um.

[ good opener, jade. ]

Remember when you played that song on the guitar that neither of us really knew?

so i remembered something new
just a little thing no big
being filthy fuckin RICH
and having attack robots??
this crap just gets better and better liz

[ just... gonna keep the whole "might've killed a bunch of people" part a secret for now, nb. ]

please tell me you're not busy.
an emergency for an emergency is fair, isn't it?

[Here comes something from Ardyn that might be hard to decipher without context. It seems like a list.]

Black, plain
Black, grey damask pattern
Black, grey/white floral pattern (paisley?)
Black, plain, infinity
Black, knitted
Red, plain
Orange-red, plain
Red/black, checkered
Navy, black embroidered hoolander
Light blue, white embroidered hoolander
Forest green, knitted
Light green, yellow accents
Maroon, black stripes

[...It just seems to continue from there.]

A girl was home alone and she walked downstairs. Nothing was there, but she heard the littlest noise even though nothing was there. So she went back upstairs and climbed into bed. At 12.00 PM she woke up to find a little girl standing at the foot of her bed. The little girl slit her throat open and left her for dead. Nobody found her corpse for around 3 weeks and by then she really smelled! Send this to 3 people or else by 12PM you will see a dead girl at the foot of your bed!

[Someone tell Frisk that chain letters are fake.]

[Here comes a text from Ardyn, and for once, surprisingly, it’s not presented in the form of a joke. The flippancy is reeled back this time, because he’s not quite sure what he’s getting into — or even if Elizabeth will be inclined to share. Honestly, he’s not sure how he fits in with her circle of friends, if at all, and so he starts off plainly enough.]

Tell me if I’m overstepping boundaries.

But, after everything that’s happened, [i.e. Jack texting him after being out of commission] I have to ask: Is everything all right?

[ there's a knock knock on their bedroom door before jade pushes it open enough to stick a hand in. ]

Hey! Um. Can I come in?

[ she probably learned to do this the hard way?? ]

[ jade enters the wolf family apartment. she left because of an "diy emergency", which is really just code for "i had an idea and cannot lose it, be back from lowe's in 20 minutes.

jade is holding her shopping bounty. it is heavy.

she places the heavy thing down with a "thunk". ]

I figured out what I want to paint my room with.

[ the paint cans she just set down say "specialty glow in the dark paint". this can only go well. ]

[FORWARD DATED TO TUESDAY because guess who missed Friday and Monday, it's this punk... Actually, he missed Tuesday, too?! It's probably not unusual for him to skip a day here or there, but more than once without so much as a doctor's note or email (neither of which he sent) is definitely a little bizarre.

He comes in after class has let out, during that period where professors are usually still hanging around, getting ready to leave. Whether the door to her room is open or closed, he'll knock first before either standing and waiting, or poking his head through.]

Um... It's Kiyomitsu.

ELIZABETH
A THING HAPPENED

[ yes, he's texting all his closest friends to tell them about the new swag. ]

i dobr thinok o xqntl mu pwppwr in pn timebxqn ibt35 an 3st2bqu9j

[ SURPRISE!!! it's your husband. the husband that you see every day. so maybe it's not a surprise at all.

moving on.

it's nighttime at the (new) Wolf household and Bigby has the entire weekend off instead of working Saturday's like he has been for quite awhile now. to say that he wants to savor the rare opportunity would be obvious. after going out for dinner with the fam and returning home, Bigby was happy to undress and get wound down for the evening. with Jade given the freedom to do what she sees fit, he retreated to the bedroom while forcefully dragging his wife along with him.

the (new and amazing) master bathroom connected to the aforementioned (also new and amazing) bedroom is where he is, door remaining open and the water from the sink running. Elizabeth can hear his razorblade clicking against the sink as he tries to work down the stubble that has plagued his cheeks for the past couple of weeks, threatening to turn into a full-blown beard. he doubts Mrs. Wolf would complain about the extra manliness, but he doesn't need it to be any more itchy than it has been. while shaving, he calls out to Elizabeth and whatever she was doing at the moment. ]

Thinking of taking a shower after. Offer's out there for you to join me...

[ it's safe to say they have kissed and made up since the whole Jack thing occurred. ]

hello, it's makoto even though it says meowkoto
i've been wondering... what are your office hours for the university?
is it the same for all the other personnel?

Since we're keen on sharing unfathomable abilities, would you like to hear of mine?

[Inanity is starting to become the norm. He doesn't even know how much alarm he should be feeling right now, but then again, he's had some time to parse all of this.]

Professor Wolf. May I speak to you on a private matter?

[ At first, there's no actual text - just a picture of Jack in the mirror, looking vaguely hungover and maybe just a little distressed. The focus is on his eyes - the right one having turned blue instead of green. ]

so how would i explain this exactly

i think i've been changed again. though this time i'm not sure if it's a blessing or a curse.
