kaisou | Husk gets brought to his gift

Where: Chateau De Minuit and wherever Husk happens to be
When: sometime in December
What: Cifera delivering Husk to his gift
Warnings: Kidnapping?

[Cifera bounced back and forth on her feet as she psyched herself up for this. She hadn’t tested the limits of her new ability yet so was hoping this would turn out well. She took a deep breath, flipped the poker chip, and was off. Running through the still streets of Kaisou grinning ear to ear as she looked for Husk. The moment she seen him she scooped him up bridal style and started running back to the casino.]

Apologies for the sudden trip Grumpy Cat, carrying you felt like the easier option.

[Shortly after saying that she set him down in front of his gift as time began to move again.]

Tada, happy holidays from one gambling kitty to another.

[She says this as she does jazz hands at his gift. A taco bell themed poker table, the felt of the table patterned like a 90’s taco bell, with matching cards and chips.]

[Husk was just chillin'. Life is pretty good so far. He'd had a good couple weeks. He has a plan for with his awful boss ever shows up here. He had a great thanksgiving. Things are looking up!

He was headed out of a store after buying a stupidly large burger bed for Anby- ordering a delivery to a place that definitely is not built for such a thing - when she finds him. He doesn't even get to register her arrival with a greeting before he's scooped the fuck up and being RACED somewhere. ]

Cifera what the fuck?!!!!!

[ And then the world stops ZOOMING by, and he finds himself in a casino. His ears swivel as he tries to re-oreinate himself. ]

You know, you can just fuckin' ASK me to come with you, Fuckass! I got legs!!

[ Oh. Wait, he's just noticed the table. He blinks at in surprise, claws fingers brushing the felt of the table.

...Holy shit?? This was actually really nice???]

...Wait, what? This is for me?

[Cifera leans against the wall with a cockeyed grin, flipping the poker chip without activating her ability.]

Well I don’t see any other cats with a proclivity for gambling around here. As luck would have it I was your secret santa and I already have a contact for custom gambling supplies. So when I seen I got you I had the perfect idea. Oh I also already have some delivery people coming to pick it up and deliver it for you, but I felt that this was a more fun way to show you.

[Her grin gets a bit softer.]

Merry Christmas Grumpy Cat, I hope your new year goes well.

[ You know what, it would have been so much easier if you could remain crabby at her for literally kidnapping his entire ass. But this is... honestly really fucking nice. He's not used to getting nice things from people other than his own family. How the hell are you supposed to respond to a gesture like this.]

...Fuck me, I was expecting, I dunno. Socks or something. [Husk you don't even wear socks. ] Y'know - normal shit you give people for Secret Santa. Not something like this.

[ Christ, was everyone he close to fully crazy? Probably!!! He looks her way again, his expression softening too.]

Well, Hell. Thanks. This is... real fuckin' fancy. It'll definitely get some use.

[Cifera cackles]

I would hope so, oh we should totally have a poker night. Ya know invite Sampo and a few others. So where do you want this delivered, and do you want me to bring you back to where you were?

You know? That won't be a bad idea. Sam might add a whole fuckin' layer of chaos in the mix, so make sure you for a fire extinguisher handy.

[ He considers. ]

It can come home, it'll go nice in the dining room. That's where I was headed to before you fuckin' kidnapped me. Asshat.

[Cifera pulls out her phone, sends a few messages, and puts it away again.]

All righty then, it will be delivered there by end of day. Also it was gonna be chaos either way, I went to school with him and encouraged his behavior. Now then my favorite grumpy cat, want a lift to your house?

[She looks like the cat that caught the canary when he brings up her kidnapping him]

[ Well. This is interesting new information, Husk's ears perk up a little. ]

No kiddin? You guys known each other that long? Was he exactly the same as he was back then? I known him... a while, but he was for sure an adult by the time the Order started going after him. Little fucker knocked me the fuck out and stole my whiskey.

[ Which you know, Husk was actively sent to kidnap him so fair's fair. ]

Ugh, it would make my life easier than having to fly all the way back.

Not all that different from now, a little less I don't know haunted for lack of a better word. Definitely more mischievous now but he was still a trickster even back then. Though I was the one encouraging and enforcing the behavior, which is funny because he was my upperclassmen.

Now I'm sure it's time for an old cat's nap so lets get you home.

[She says this last part with an absolutely shit eating grin, flips the coin, and the next the Husk knows she is setting him down in front of his house.]

Hmmm, years of being hounded by the Order will do that to a person. The haunted thing, I mean. [ Still, that does pull a little smile out of him. ] Can't blame you. He's a good guy, really. A fuckin; menace, but it's probably one of the best parts of him. ...Don't tell him I said that, I'll never hear the end of it.

[He doesn't get much chance to tell her to be FUCKING NORMAL about it before he's suddenly out in front of his house, looking slightly dazed. ]

Jesus christ, that's disorientating.

Don't worry you'll get used to it.

[And with those parting words she is gone in the blink of an eye and a flip of a poker chip.]
