Oh... that? Well... ah... sorry, I'm going through a tunnel! -imitates crackling noises into the mouthpiece, then quickly switches the walkie-talkie off-
-nearly squeals in delight-
It's so pretty... it's like you knew exactly what I wanted!
-beams up at her- Thank you!
UN JOUR JE SERAI DE RETOUR PRÈS DE TOIHeehee, no problem... oh, and the best part?
(pulls out her wakizashi and stabs at the top)
(absolutely nothing happens to it)
It doubles as a suit of armor that I've engineered to be indestructible.
...Ahem.
(Link tries getting Cori's attention as she plays foul in that... odd communicator of hers.)
Every object has a "concept of creation," right? Like how a sword is meant to cut, while a shield is meant to protect.
I can take any concept of creation - any - and forge it into an armament. In your gift's case - I took "fashionable," "indestructible," and "will fit Monika perfectly" and put them all into a technical suit of armor.
"Mr. Tapferin, I Would Advise Against It As My First Instinct. You Were Lucky To Survive Your Initial "Catfish", As Mr. Storm Would Put Such Trickery, Encounter With Her."
"While I Hate To Discriminate The Notion Of Any Sentient Being Turning A New Leaf, This Date Fits Dangerously With Her M.O. "
H.E.R.B.I.E halts his analysis, only to notice the snowfall around them.
"Ah Yes, The Festive Spirit Is Making Its Presence Known."
"Two gifts?" Franklin finally witnesses the likes of the engineering toolset, the goggles, and—. "Okay, now I know for a fact Marcia gave me this." He grips the Tailmon figure carefully with a smile on his face.
"I will not be humiliated by a child! This has gone far enough! I am tired of playing these gam—-!" One sucker punch knocks the Perfect Dummy back as Caulifla!Kale keeps wailing at it. " 'Eh, it's close 'nuff. HA-TAH-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA-TA!"
Kale!Caulifla tries on her newfound dress with glee, admiring the artistry. True, they would be more fitting on her actual body, but she appreciates the gift anyway. "This gift is perfect! I...I think Lune got this one for me." She looks on the wrapping to make sure.
(Michael looks at some snowflakes that have melted into his gloved hands.)
I don't know, the fact that she decided to admit it to my face... Kinda hard to dismiss that as part of her M.O. Especially as she broke some sort of bottle, and those headaches I had just... disappeared.
(sighs) And I happened to get her a Christmas gift, too... What is wrong with me...?
"We all fail. We all make mistakes. That is what makes us human."I did! But...
-stands up to her feet-
...We'll have to go back to the piano.
-roll with it, roll with it-
Hey, come on, now! This is a little unfair. Just because I'm half-quarian, I'm a criminal, huh? I can't even be on a date with a... handsome... fella...? Without it being a 'crime' or 'illegal?' You may hate me, but I never knew you hated true love, too...

...Oh!
>("Hey.")
(yeah he was totally watching you)
(...a really chic outfit!)
(it looks like it's just your size, too)
