DELIVERY

[synfluxmods]

[ On Christmas morning, a drone visits your character's dorm room and drops a package by their door. Once they touch the package, a chip will interact with their implant and a message will be projected in their vision:

Dear Denji,

LILITH wishes you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. We're expecting great things for you in the coming here. Make sure you don't disappoint.

Yours Sincerely,
LILITH

Inside that package, they will find a porn magazines. Some of it is gay.]

gift!

[eyescar]

[ A gift is left outside, on the doorstep! It's not much; just a small bag of candy with a note:

Merry Christmas and good luck in the New Year! - Yuji Itadori. ]

[nutkick]

[ just this icon. ]

gift(?)

[balestre]

[ On Denji's doorstep, a familiar candy bag is left one day. There's a different note on it than the original.

I don't eat candy. You can have it. -Quanxi ]

a gift or an act of war!

[nutkick]

[ ................... suspicious. ]

[balestre]

this is quanxi.
can i ask you something?

[nutkick]

[ suspicious!!!! ]

... okay.
whats up?

[balestre]

[ how does she even phrase this question... this stupid "different time points" thing annoys her. ]

hayakawa asked me a question about makima.
does he know what she is?

[nutkick]

[ lowkey doesn't trust you too, buuuuut- ]

yeah, i told him.
well-
i didn't tell him everything ...

[balestre]

what did you tell him?
if he asks me anything i need to know what to avoid.

[nutkick]

... don't tell him how he died.

[balestre]

i won't.



you shouldn't tell him anything he doesn't know either.
there's nothing he can do anymore about what's going on back in our world.
enjoy the time you have with him here.

[nutkick]

[ he hesitates, but then- ]

but
i'm not happy to see him.

it just hurts all over again.

[balestre]

if i saw my girls here i would feel the same.

[ it isn't the same type of relationship but she still understands where that feeling comes from. hayakawa may as well be a ghost, haunting the boy who killed him. ]

[nutkick]

[ this is unexpected but talking to quanxi is actually — hmm, therapeutic? he didn't know why, but it is. ]

i also did something ... bad.

[balestre]

what did you do?

[nutkick]

i made a deal with makima.

[balestre]

[ hm. it's not necessarily a bad thing to do but... ]

does it involve hayakawa?

[nutkick]

i made the deal before he showed up, but— yeah. it now heavily affects him.

i just don't want anyone else to get involved in our war. it's not a bad way to handle shit, making a deal with the devil, but i hate it. i feel like she has won somehow ...

[balestre]

denji, you did something many governments thought impossible. even I never thought she could be killed.
she wouldn't consider making deals with you if she didn't have to as well.

[nutkick]

[ damn. quanxi knew how to make him feel less shitty and less of a coward. ]

what about you? how do feel about seeing her again?

[balestre]

when i see her, i remember begging her to spare my women. and how she didn't.
that makes me angrier than how she controlled me.

[ She long ago accepted being a tool to be used by others, in the way any weapon is. But her girls didn't deserve to die. It was a mistake to bring them on the job. ]

[nutkick]

[ there is something reassuring about her using the word 'anger'. a nice change from associating one single emotion, which is fear, with the control devil. ]

do you want to hurt her back?

[balestre]

[ she should. if it were anyone else, quanxi would have their head. it wouldn't even be a thought - there would be blood. but she hasn't done anything at all. ]

I should. But I don't know.

[nutkick]

please don't do anything.
i'll handle it.

[ then again, quanxi didn't know what the 'deal' is ... ]
