[ on the morning of the 23rd, you receive a package, wrapped neatly in glossy white paper and gold ribbon, with a photo attached to it. It’s a picture of Teddy, your resident Prime Minister, giving puppy dog eyes at the camera and holding up a sign that reads “I ♥ HEROES”. the message on the back of the photo says: ]
Dear Laslow, I am happy to see that you made it back from Gammon, safe and sound. War is truly a terrible thing, and I can only imagine the horrors you had to go through. I thank you for your service, from the bottom of my heart, and on behalf of Blanc’s citizens. We are truly grateful.
Commander Pinta has informed me of your valiant efforts in the recent battle to protect the Kingdom of Gammon. Gammon is an important ally of the Republic of Blanc, and though a battle is never an enjoyable ordeal, I do hope you enjoyed the sights and celebrations our sister nation has to offer.
But not too much! Gammon is a great place, but Blanc missed you, Laslow! I missed you. I thought it might be nice to send you a little gift, which I hope you’ll enjoy.
If your eyes happen to wander over to your window, you notice you’re not alone. Wait a minute, is that… Teddy peeking in, watching eagerly as you unwrap your gift? Was it just your imagination? Whether it is or not, he’s already gone! ]
Your carrier lovingly hacks up a small package that would fit in your hand, as well as a handwritten letter with some sort of armored animal drawn in the corner...
Dear Friend,
We may not know each other very well yet, or maybe at all! I've only seen one battle here, but the amount of bravery and care that people have shown for one another both on and off of the battlefield lets me know I'm part of something special. People have lost their homes and loved ones, and while we can't bring those back, I know that there are people here to believe in. And I'm very lucky to get to fight alongside them.
It's not much, but I hope you enjoy a few snacks that I've made! A full tummy always makes me feel better. Maybe we can share a snack together in person sometimes soon.
Sincerely,
Orihime Inoue & Kou-kun 井上織姫とコウくん
The package is wrapped in pink and blue paper. When unwrapped, your character will find three cute little animal-themed pastries! (You're welcome to decide which three.) They have a sweet bread outer layer and some curious fillings...
Pink Bunny is hopping and happy to see you! It is filled with a sweet carrot cream. Purrfect Kitty is very pleased and ready to be eaten! It is filled with some sort of chopped meat, reminiscent of a BBQ Pork bun. Sleeping Froggy knows it's delicious. It's filled with a MYSTERY FLAVOR...which is either a sour green apple or...seaweed? Friendly Puppy isn't supposed to have chocolate, but it's filled with it anyway. Don't tell anyone! Cute Chicky is filled with a egg-flavored cream. Yeah, that one actually isn't surprising, although maybe a little morbid when you think about it.
[ A GIFT! From a girl with a really pure heart. ALSO these pastries. Laslow's pretty sure he's fallen in love with this stranger already (actually he falls in love with pretty much anyone, to be honest). Either ways, he's going to write a letter in response to this! ]
To Lady Inoue & Kou
Thank you for this delicious gift of yours, why, I would've thought that you were more a pastry goddess compared to a fellow Hero! Either ways, it'd be only right if I were to return this favor with another, so, if you ever need help, feel free to contact me!
[ PASTRY GODDESS? Oh dear. That's a very kind and somewhat inflated way to refer to her...but she appreciates the sentiment! ]
Laslow-san,
Thank you very much! I'm not sure if I deserve that kind of title, but that's kind of you to say. The fact that you got this and were able to enjoy the treats is more than I could ask for.
[This package you will receive doesn't come by Carrier. Rather, Vietnam has given strict instructions that this will be treated like every large package, and will be delivered like so. After all, it is one! A letter, and a little box. Wonder what it is? And when do you receive it? Any time between the September 6th to the 15th. And in the case of the newer Heroes, it comes sometime on the 8th or after (hint hint).]
COMRADE,
No matter our opinions of our situation or this place, we are all the same, brought here from different places. Still, we all have each other. Whatever fate has in store, we will chose. I suppose what cane be important here now are the bonds we create.
To celebrate that let me share a custom. In my world, sometime in the Autumn, is the Mid-Autumn Festival, known to me as Tết Trung Thu. It is said that during this time, the moon will be so round and will shine its brightest. To appreciate the moon, one can ask for blessings from the gods. You can give thanks for the harvest or harmonious unions. You can pray for prosperity and good fortune. But also, it is a time to spend together.
Each year will it would be celebrated on a different day. In the year I left, 2016, it should fall on September 15th. I believe the equivalent date here is Sylvant 15th. So please take this chance to relax. I have included one free pass to a two night stay at the inn I manage, Dragon's Flight and Phoenix Dance, located on Gisela. On these islands, you will be able to see the sky, so very close. I have also included a mooncake of lotus filling. As per custom, you share your mooncake with family and friends to signify unity. I hope it is to your tastes.
[ WELP. Looks like someone already got the note that he has a daughter. This is awkward. But hm... that name... he's definitely a Hoshidan judging from his name. So he must be someone's retainer over there.
But... he wonders if he can contact this man personally. HM... ]
[Laslow will be receiving a letter from Soleil on the morning of the 17th!]
Father,
Thank you for the reassurance the other day. It meant more to me than you can possibly understand. I would like to extend the offer to get to know each other better. I want to let you know all about me and I want to know all about you too. Well;— the stuff you want to tell me anyways.
I’ve included a small gift that I hope we can share at some point. After all, you were the one that taught me that tea and conversation was the best way to get to know someone.
[As promised, there is a small paper sachet with Laslow's name on the tag. The contents are a handful of teabags labelled "vanilla chai". There are no instructions, Laslow better know how to make tea. But wait! That's not all. Upon further investigation there is also a bracelet made of silver coinslook i know the model has gold coins but shhhhh. The note attached to this says, "I thought of you when I saw this".]

[ Unwrap the box and you will find:
A revealing dancer’s outfit, which happens to be Laslow’s size.
