I have a pile of care packages that's bigger than ME.
I think our family's outta control.

[Guess whose been getting a backlog of mail from the out of town family]

[unidolize]

Have you opened them yet?

[fiddlestick]

A couple? But there's so many of them.
And sometimes they start moving.
Or yelling.

[activatingcombatmode]

My mom's mad we missed Christmas and Thanksgiving

[fiddlestick]

I'm not surprised.
It's basically taboo to miss her holidays.

I saw her name on some letters and packages too.
I'm scared to open them.

[activatingcombatmode]

Just watch your fingers they nip

If you need someone pawn some food off on I know a kid who could use it

[fiddlestick]

You do?

[activatingcombatmode]

Yeah, skinny, gets no sunlight, can barely lift a bag of bread

[He's talking about Minato Arisato!]

[fiddlestick]

Wow. Sure hope you don't talk about me that way.

[Since all those could apply to him too!!]

Yeah, I can send some food. If they don't mind military rations, I think Auntie Craig sent enough to survive an apocalypse.

[activatingcombatmode]

yeaahhhh sometimes maybe

[He loves you, Elliot.]

Don't think he's picky, actually I'm pretty sure he'd eat those right up.

[fiddlestick]

😫 Zaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack

[He loves you too]

Great. Then you can send all you want to him.

[nachetanya]

I got a letter asking if you had a secret date you were with for the holidays.

[activatingcombatmode]

Well that woulda been nice but sorry mum

[nachetanya]

I know, alas!

Still, though, it's great to be getting letters again.

[nachetanya]

I've yet to find any apples!

[ I mean, it'd be off season, but she does get care packages... so. ]

[fiddlestick]

Do you WANT to find apples? Some of these are from November....

[Gonna be some rotten apples unless they were preserved somehow]

[nachetanya]

It's probably my responsibility to find it...? I wouldn't want someone else to get a rotting box if they've gone bad

[fiddlestick]

Oh yeah...
Though it's not YOUR fault that they didn't get here in time
Or that they went through someone else's mail.

[nachetanya]

Well yeah...

I hope I can find everything either way. And maybe that we can call, soon.

[fiddlestick]

Yeah...though I'm REALLY not looking forward to the first phone call.
From the sound of it, Uncle and Auntie Craig's pretty mad at me for not writing or calling.

[nachetanya]

[ Oh. ]

I guess that's not surprising...

Mom and dad seem to be okay with what I've found so far. I guess it's less surprising when I'm silent.

[fiddlestick]

Well, you've always been pretty free-spirited...

[He uploads a screenshot of a letter from his aunt. It's a clearly angry worded letter, like a parent whose at their wits end. There's lines like "This silent treatment is childish", "This isn't how a Craig acts", and "Your father would be ashamed of you" - and so on. The implications throughout the letter are clear, he was in big trouble and he better contact them ASAP if he didn't want things to get worse.]

That's from February.

[nachetanya]

[ . . . ]

I don't think I can help by writing something, can I?

[ She would try, or appeal to her parents, but... ]

[fiddlestick]

Probably not...I still can't send messages out.

[He had tried to send emails to his friends back in NYC, and facebook messages- but it was errors once again]

[nachetanya]

Honestly...

Tell me if you figure something else I can do. I know I have no sway on the Craigs, but still.
