_hello! You have reached Shinoa's contract. This shit can't be taken out of my house so I'll respond when I next return! Calls will be recorded, please leave your message after the beep. Or just send a text message! That might be easier.

BEEP_

[Shinoa can be privately contracted through TEXT MESSAGE / CALLS to a cell phone she has in her house. Her number is listed under her details on the bulletin board, and on a piece of paper taped to her mailbox.

PACKAGES and WRITTEN LETTERS can also be delivered to her mailbox.]

[ Well, a lot of things have happened. Like, y'know, dying. It was both a new experience, and a rather familiar feeling, for someone like Lilith. And maybe, just maybe, there were further experiences that involved Lilith smashing her phone against the wall thanks to the same red hooded demon her allowed her to experience such fun things... like having your body riddled with bullets! Wow!

That's why Shinoa's receiving a text from an unfamiliar number, but a rather familiar texting style. There's also a selfie thrown in there; look, a double peace sign and a freakishly wide smile! How did she even take that picture? ]

[ wow its almost like she's trying to cover up the fact that she died ]

[ Good morning, Shinoa. She'll be receiving a text from a very familiar number, the last text something about wanting to kill Chara or something? ]

need to talk

[soulflash]

[ Surprise text from Shinoa's best bud! ]

It's Lilith. can you meet me at my shop tonight? i have things to discuss with you.

[ Sure enough, Lilith hangs around Splendor Love in hopes that Shinoa will show, door locked shut unless a customer is approaching. They'll be unlocked for Shinoa, of course! ]

Merry Christmas

[There's a little box on Shinoa's porch. In it is a bag of candy and a purple Swiss army knife.

The tag says To: Shinoa From: Madoka :)]

Hey, Hiiragi-san. It's Ryoko.

You don't have to read this or really even reply to this, but I wanted to let you know. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have punched you and I shouldn't have taken anything out on you. It wasn't fair.

You're a lot more useful to us than we give you credit for. We've been able to get through a lot with you, and you being around from the start last time would've been great. We probably wouldn't have gone through as much trouble as we did.

There's a lot I agree with you on, based on recent goings-on, and there's a few things I don't agree with you on, but I don't want to dwell on that anymore. You don't have to rejoin us if you don't want to, but we'd really appreciate the help. I know I would.

I'm sorry again. I can't say I'm sorry enough.
