Hey! Hilda here. If you've gotten this, then I'm probably busy at the moment. I'll get back to you as soon as I can!

[Hilbert's getting a present for Hilda! First and foremost is the card which he made, a hand-drawn Victini on the front of it, and that's laying on a wrapped gift of a scarf. At least it's not hideous?

... The Victini, on the other hand, has effort but no real talent in it.]

Merry Christmas, Hilda!

I'm sorry about the Victini. Who knew that such a simple Pokémon could give you so much trouble? Anyway, I wasn't sure what to get you, so I thought that you'd probably like something practical rather than fancy. You seem like that kind of girl. I hope you wear it!

I wish we were home though. It doesn't feel like Christmas without all the lights and fireworks, but it isn't so bad here. Maybe you and I can hang out on Christmas? I'm upstairs in 904 and I won't be here in the morning and some of the early afternoon, but pop by after then and maybe we can have an early dinner together. How about it?

Your best battle partner and friend,
Hilbert

[realady]

[...The picture's so cute. The scarf's about ten years out of fashion, but she figures that's one of his quirks.

But this is good. She's been meaning to ask him a few things.]

Sounds good to me. I'll be around later.

[idealord]

[That's so mean! It fits her perfectly! Be grateful like N was...]

That's great! I'll see you then.

[realady]

[So, later, she will be knocking on his door. The scarf's wrapped up in her free hand, concealing Victini's Pokeball. She would've worn it if she had had to go outside, but as it was...]

[idealord]

[He throws open the door, the widest and most friendly of grins on his face - though there's a hint of tiredness in his eyes. He's been doing a lot lately and had someone over early and... Yeah.]

Hi, Hilda! Your place is a long ways away from mine, so I hope you're not too tired out? Come on in, make yourself at home, I'll get drinks. It's too bad you couldn't wear your scarf. Do you like it? I thought it'd look good on you. Did you like the drawing, too? I know it's not the best, but I like it.

[He'll usher her inside as he rambles, whether she's coming in of her own accord or not.]

[realady]

It's not that far, the scarf's, uh, different, and it's a cute drawing Victini really liked it?

[Look she managed to handle all of his questions. She'll gladly make herself at home as well, plopping on the couch. Oh, but --]

...This isn't going to bother your unitmates, right?

[idealord]

[His unitmates... Hilbert hesitates, thinking of the buff guys, and shakes his head as he shuts the door and heads for the kitchen.]

Nah, but maybe we should... Move someplace more private? [Like his actual room--] Anyway, I'm glad you two liked everything!

[realady]

Like your room? [Hilda cracks a grin at him, turning to follow him with her eyes.] Sure.

[gentle]

[he didn't think to get anyone anything for christmas (he'd rather leave that to santa and delibird, honestly), and truthfully he thought it might be a bit awkward to say anything to her as if they were familiars, but N decided that this is what he wanted to do.]

Hilda.
Merry Christmas to you and Victini.

[short, to-the-point-- totally not awkward or cryptic or weird, right?

r...ight...]

[realady]

[N's the last person she'd be expecting any sort of greetings from-- well. Their meeting wasn't that bad, but it still wasn't

as she thought it'd be. Of course, she hadn't expected that he wouldn't know her in the first place. That could've contributed to it. Still.]

Merry christmas to you too n!

[Under normal circumstances she'd get him an actual gift, but that'd be a little weird now, right? Christmas greetings were enough.]

[gentle]

[he figured it was the least he could do after nearly insisting she was crazy-- and besides, their fates were still intertwined in a way, right? the thoughts weighed heavy in N's mind, but even though his heart wasn't quite in it yet, he still couldn't allow himself to just pretend hilda didn't exist. it's not what his other self would have wanted.]

I didn't think to give anyone any gifts this year
but perhaps you'll allow me to make it up to you some other time?

[realady]

[Some other time. She purses her lips as she types out a reply, considering it. That wasn't a bad idea.]

Course i would! As long as you let me do the same for you?

[gentle]

Of course.
I would like that a lot.
I don't know what you like but I'll do my best to pick something suitable for you.
What do girls like anyway?
Meat?
Hair brushes?
Fragrant flowers?

[that's all ninetales likes and she's the only girl he's ever gotten presents for whoops.]

[realady]

All of the above?
I really like food actually so if we could grab a bite to eat sometime that'd be pretty awesome.
So aside from pokemon what do you like?

[Hilda resembles her mega fire pig pokemon more and more every day whoops.]

[gentle]

I see!
Yes
I wouldn't mind going out to eat with you.
I doubt there's much else to do here
since I refuse to take part in the fighting.
As for my other hobbies...
I like math so I study a lot.

[wow what a weird nerd.]

[realady]

[Math is hard to buy for too. Are there even things she can get him? Maybe if she went on one of those missions and found something math-y. Could she bring that kind of stuff back...]

I'm not surprised that you don't want to fight being honest.
And okay i'll definitely find something cool and mathy for you to treasure it'll be the best present ever trust me.

omg so late ;; this was for Christmas

[direhit]

[She's only made a few friends here in her short time, but she's made presents for those most important.

Which for now, just means the people from the same world as her. They might be from different timelines, but they've been kind enough to try and figure things out with her. And they're the only other ones that know Pokemon.]

Hilda, hi!
Merry Christmas! ヽ(゜∇゜)ノ
I hope things are going well for you.
Also, will you be around later today. I wanted to come and visit you.

no problem here.

[realady]

[Two invitations in one day? She thinks about it, and figures she can probably squeeze in Mei before she heads to Hilbert's place.]

Yeah i will!! Hilbert wanted me to hang out with him for dinner but i can totally hang out with you before then. My room's in 203 unless you want to meet somewhere else?

/o/

[direhit]

Awesome!
I promise I won't take up too much time. Especially if you guys are going out later.
Your room's fine. Can I meet you there in a few minutes?

[realady]

Sounds good to me!

[direhit]

Great! I'll be there soon!

[And in no more that ten minutes, there's a knock at Hilda's door.]

[realady]

[Hilda opens it with the most excitement ever. It's not that she's been lonely, but she doesn't have a lot of... girl friends.]

Merry Christmas, Mei! [It's worth repeating; in person is so much different than over text.] Come in, come in. Make yourself at home.

[Preferably not on the Victini plush (?) on the couch though. Hilda looks panicked when she spots it, but anything too overreacting would be a bad idea.]

Uh-- are you hungry? I think we have cookies or something.

[direhit]

Merry Christmas, Hilda! [Mei's not dressed too festive, but the box she has in her hands is wrapped in green with a red bow and gold trim. Her Serperior is no where to be seen, seemingly in her Pokeball.]

Thanks, and sure! I'd love some. I actually brought a little something for you too. Hope you don't mind! [She sets the box down on a nearby table before seating herself beside the plush.

...Not that it really looks like a plush from her angle. Huh, is this even a Pokemon?]

VALENTINE'S DAY

[idealord]

[For Hilda, there is a paper-towel wrapped white rose peeking from under her door! There's no indicator of who left it by her door (but they must have been very far up and very handsome young man), just a tag with her name on it.]

Re: VALENTINE'S DAY

[realady]

[She'll treasure it, mysterious anonymous sender. At least until Victini wakes up and eats it.]
