My dear sweet Minako,
Something of great importance is to be discussed and I must speak with you in private and in person.
All my love,
Serenity.

[ There probably is no other text that can make her as nervous as this one. She stares at it for a few moments, but when she finally manages to snap herself out of it she quickly moves her fingers to reply. ]
Where do you want to talk? [ Because she'll be there as quickly as possible. ]

Minako! I was wondering if I could ask a tiny favor?
[an unmarked bouquet addressed to Minako will find itself to 1449; it's carefully tucked against the side of the door, so it doesn't get accidentally stomped on]
[she told him to forget about it, but he hasn't, because if there are two things Rin can't forget, it's his own mistakes and the precious people he's let into his life]
[he hopes she likes them -- she doesn't need to know who they're from. she's a romantic, like that, right?]

[ Minako blinks a little when she finds the bouquet. It's pretty easy to guess who it's not for, but she's still a little surprised when she finds her name on it all the same. There's nothing else on it though - no note, no name. And Minako doesn't have a list readily available of people who would do this sort of thing. If Hong Kong was still here, maybe him, but.. she thinks that most of the people in her life would send her something with an actual note, just like all the Christmas presents.
Still.. it's pretty. And it doesn't seem like anything the landlord did, considering they're not near any other house. Flowers without a note for her.
She pulls the bouquet a little closer to herself, holding it and smelling the fragnance of the flowers. Slowly a very small but genuine smile appears on her face. She's been so tired lately inbetween a lot of people she's known for a long time disappearing and Serenity appearing and trying to take care of matters growing at Moe Moe. But it's these things that make everything worth it.
Minako glances over her shoulder, across the street, before taking it inside to place it somewhere in a vase there. ]

[Serenity knows Minako would never send her such a thing but...]
Minako, would you happen to know... who thought it might have been a good idea to send me a male stripper?
Or is this... something the landlord is known for doing, in which case, my apologies for bringing up the matter.

[ ... oh god.
She can't get a moment's break with the kind of people here, can she? Who would even do something like that, sending a stripper to Serenity's place when she's married and so regal and--
Minako can already notice she's getting all worked up again, and she has to put the cup she's holding down for a moment before she just breaks it with the way her hands curled around it. ]
Someone sent you a stripper? [ Don't eyetwitch, Minako, keep it cool... ]

[ Hong Kong has written and re-written his message to Minako more times than he'd care to count. He's tried everything from casual "heys" to paragraph-long messages saying he's sorry. In the end, it's hard to know what to say, since he feels like he's definitely been a Jerk for leaving her like that, but it's true he didn't really have a choice, isn't it?
Regardless, it'd be downright ungentlemanly not to apologize if she was upset that he vanished like that. A real man takes responsibility for things, even if they aren't his responsibility! (That's not quite right, but don't tell him, okay?) After staring at his phone for a little while longer, he finally sends this: ]
it looks like i came back
i'm sorry it took so long
[ He's not quite content with that, but he really doesn't know how else to say it! He's sort of afraid of saying it aloud, otherwise he would have called (or come in person, which is what he really should have done). ]

[ Minako's gone out of the habit of trying to check who's in this place and who isn't. She used to check the lists, but with more and more people she's known for a long time disappearing, she's given up on the activity. It's too depressing. So the text comes as a complete surprise to her - when she hears the texting sound, she figures it's someone from the cafe or maybe even one of her friends trying to reach her.
Not this.
Because she didn't expect him to come back at all, it's why she just tried to move on, but--
Right now--
She stares at the phone for a good minute, almost like she's afraid that if she'll push the keys, the message will disappear and never have been real. ]
You're back? [ It's not the smoothest thing ever to say, but she just can hardly believe it. Minako's just staring at her phone with wide eyes. ]

[There will be an invitation in Minako's mailbox:]
Minako,
You are invited to join us on Monday, June 30th to celebrate and
enjoy the joyous occasion of Chibiusa's birthday.
The party will be held at the park at the following address at noon
for a bountiful and fun picnic.
Guests are encouraged to bring a towel.
Please R.S.V.P. to Serenity.
[As it was Minako's invitation, there was additional writing on the bottom.]
Minako,
Please come to just enjoy Small Lady's birthday, I will take care of everything.
[Because she knows her senshi, Minako will undoubtedly stress at her queen and princess's birthday and everything being perfect.]

[ Definitely stressing. Definitely. In fact, Minako is stressing despite the note being there, and she's quick to send a text the older woman's way. ]
Are you sure you don't need help with all of that? It could be a lot of work.. [ Because when does Minako ever not worry about Serenity having to do.. well.. anything at all, really. ]

[ Minako - believe it or not - can actually be serious sometimes. And this sounds sort of serious. She thinks, anyway? The guy didn't seem very serious last time, but then again, all people probably have their own sort of trouble. So she actually considers the text seriously before replying. ]
I think it depends on the situation. Did it already happen or are you just afraid it might happen?

Minako, there's something I would like to show you, if you have the time. Something very important has been returned to me.
[ Something important.. well, if Serenity is putting it that way, then Minako's pretty sure it has to do with senshi business. So she's immediately on this message the moment she gets it. ]
Where do you need me to be? [ It's not even a matter of "if you have the time", really, Minako will drop everything and do anything for Serenity at any given moment.. ]

[ In the wee hours of Thursday morning, a nicely wrapped parcel with a small chocolate cake has been left in the mailbox.
A typewritten note addressed to you is attached that reads as follows:
“Please take this in good faith.
I apologise for any inconveniences or hardships that have been caused by a resident named Italy.
Regards,
A Concerned Resident” ]

[ .. Inconveniences or hardships..? She's just staring at the note since wow, Italy's a really great guy, who would ever say that about him! But since there's no actual name on it or anything and no handwriting to identify, she instead decides to shrug it off and take the cake with her. Hey, free cake, who's going to turn that down? ]
[Congratulations, you are now the proud owner of an idol.]
Dearest Minako,
I hope the idol is to your liking. I was not very certain which you would like, so I took the liberty of choosing for you. If it is not to your liking, please let me know.
Sincerely yours,
Veronica

[ .. yeah, that's.. something else alright. Minako might not be dumb, but she certainly isn't really into old relics either, so the two meanings of the word idol aren't even occurring to her yet - especially since she's so butt deep into the other one. ]
Hey, not to be rude or anything, but..
.. why did you send me a cow?

A sweet, chocolatey cookie for Minako-chan~♥

[a sugar cookie will be found inside a package that looks like a teenage boy put it together; the cookie is wrapped up very nicely in saran wrap for freshness, but the tissue paper and red string surrounding it is kind of fucked and covered in tape, like someone didn't know how to actually use tissue paper nicely]
[an attached note reads; use it as a paperweight, it's from the landlord. - r]

i need help training gau and my sister this week for covering the cafe this saturday. i'll teach them how to use the register and about the menu and stuff and you cover customer service. deal?

Minako-chan! Have you seen mama lately? She's not answering her phone or the door! We were supposed to meet up for parfaits. I'm super worried. I'm texting Rei-chan too.
For how long hasn't she been replying?
[ Because a message like that is enough to make Minako's worry and stress meters go up the whazoo.. she's already halfway through just finding a coat to throw on and go find Serenity's house. She'll just climb in through the window if the door isn't answered. ]

[ Oh, great. Guess who's deadeyeing this message the moment she gets it, rubbing her forehead.. this sure is going to be a long week with less people to help out at Moe Moe and her having to look after Serenity.
At least, hopefully it'll only last a week. Have mercy on her, Landlord. ]
Got it. Just you three over there? [ So don't mind the slightly curt message in return, she's not in the best mood. ]

but something weird happened so i'm not sure i should
but i still wanted to ask if you wanted to come over some time
because iceland said it was okay
[ After he coerced him, but shhh. Also, backdated to day 1 of shirtlessness. ]

[ Guess who has two thumbs and hasn't found out about the shirtless perks yet. This girl here. Even so, it's Honkers, so of course she's quick to text back. ]
Of course I'd love to come over sometime! Is this "something weird" something I should be concerned about though?
