( Strange. Haven't people been talking about getting these? You'll find a delivery from Retrospec at your home, or at some place you often frequent. Thank you, says Retrospec. For all you do.
Inside the box there is a single feline plushie. Tied around its neck is a bit of ribbon with a note: ♥ From Yuri's Angels. There is nothing else. The box from Retrospec, the plush kitty, and that note.
Congratulations. You are the lucky mistaken recipient of a Yuri's Angel Cat Plush. What a wonderful day this must be!!! )

Oh, mom's are pretty decent. I'd give them 3 stars out of five. I have several to choose from-- I've got big ones, small ones, some are lined, varying colors. I can bring note cards, too.
Pizza is all the fuel we need to crack this code, clearly. How's the Cabin doing? I mean, I can see how it's doing, but. How are you doing with the Cabin?
They do. They sell them in cute pastels. [ attached link. ]
... Okay, ignoring the world's worst nickname for a minute. Odd question. When we were younger, did you ever promise me anything in a back alley?

that depends on what would make you be concerned. and what did they send you?
[Well. Okay. That happened? There's only one Yuri he actually knows so you know what that cat is definitely going to just sit on the bar and greet customers.
But Luke's also an asshole and sending Yuri a picture of said-cat on the bar with zero context. Thanks, Retrospec.]

3 stars for stars. seems fair to me, and now I know what to get you for your birthday. bring some note cards, they'll last longer than sticky notes
I'll call in an order when you get here. and it's...a long story. it's fine? I'm getting used to actually owning the building instead of just working for milligan so that's been weird. my apartment's cramped but it's something
we're not buying a polaroid camera but that's good to know for the future. Im not even surprised anymore.
it's not the WORST nickname, it's funny. and what kind of question is that? I probably promised you all kinds of stuff...what kind of "anything" are we talking about?

depends. is it one of those ruggedly masculine pieces?
( he just.
by now he's gotten Dave and Anya asking why they're not head of this non-existent fanclub. he's gotten people sending him videos of cat plushes. he's gotten Jade asking if he's a sky. he's starting to wonder if the restrospec people forgot April Fools was three weeks out, and were just getting started on a massive series of pranks culminating in...
... who knows. nothing good.
regardless, then he gets this picture from Luke and his expression goes flat and he Knows It Might Be Related but instead: )
what's with the gpoy

What does it say about me that I'd be fine with that for my birthday?
I may have room in my schedule for a long story. Being a business owner is a bit different than just an employee, but. I'm proud of you, Lukeberry Short Cake.
Well, that's what's... odd about it. You said something like "I promise I'm not going to fail you like our families did"? And that I was part of your family now. Which makes no sense whatsoever. I think Thalia might have been there? It felt like I was only maybe 7 years old. It just sort of. Came to mind?

it says you're a huge nerd but I already knew that and I love and support your nerd choices
god please let that nickname die. I can't believe you're still using it. but I'll tell you the long story over a pizza with extra olives because it's...a lot. and don't tell mom or dad, that's the last thing I need
[And then there's a noticeable delay in messages, and a noticeable difference in texting since Luke starts using punctuation.]
...you know that doesn't make sense right? we're kind of related? that's what being a family is, how can we have multiple families when you're already a part of my family because you ARE my family. I was kind of there when you were born.
don't worry about it, okay? just come over, we'll go from there.

a clay bead necklace? that's out of the blue. what color?
Thank you I'm glad to have your support.
Would you prefer Appluke? All right, I'll be right over. I won't tell them, I may be a nosy little sister but I can keep things to myself.
[ well gee that sure isn't worrying, at, all, ]
That's why I said it was odd, because it didn't make sense. But I remember it?
I'm halfway there now.
[ and sure enough she will appear at luke's door shortly thereafter, knocking quietly but persistently. ]

I'll always support your weird endeavors even if I don't understand like half of them
and no, I wouldn't?? appluke sounds like a failed iPhone app and I don't think that'll work for me. but I know. I know I can trust you on stuff, that's almost never a question
the memory thing bothers me...we'll talk about it when you get here because I don't trust my phone now
[And that's all he says before he waits. When Annabeth makes her way through the bar and up to his apartment he opens the door, immediately grabbing her wrist and pulling her inside to slam the door shut. The bar itself is quiet at least. He's not worried about that.]
Okay so...the memory thing. That's been going on for like a month, too.

Lukelberry Finn.
[ is all she responds to, the rest is stuff to talk about in person.
but she really doesn't expect to be pulled inside like this is some sort of shady mafia deal? luke, what the hell. he seems more shook than she does, which she... does not like. but she acts calmly, setting down her bookbag and already pulling out note-cards and sticky notes and a notebook. she's going hardcore on this dumb nonsense. ]
... So, it's just another piece of this mess? That's a stupid question, of course it is, why wouldn't it be. [ she's So Done and this shit just started for her? but she sort of hoped the weird memory thing was maybe just. not related and was from stress or whatever. ] These memories, are they all ones that don't fit, like it makes no sense for them to have happened? Have you had them?

[It's fine? It's fine! It's not fine, but he lets go of her wrist and seems to calm a little when he watches her pull out all of her supplies. Behind them propped up on his couch for some reason is a bulletin board. It has a bunch of star-shaped sticky notes and scraps of paper stuck to it.
On the other hand, he's pursing his lips together even as he's using his phone to utilize a mobile app and order them a pizza.]
From what I can tell nobody's memories fit into anything. It's all weird out-of-context stuff, like stuff that shouldn't even be real. You're smart, do you know of any kind of plants that can grow sabertooth tiger kittens?

[ hope you're not attached to your scraps of paper, luke, because annabeth is just going to casually copy their contents onto notecards and replace them after she pulls out her supplies. she also brought colored pushpins and embrodiery floss to connect them if they want to go Full Crazy.
she pauses when luke askes about the sabertooth tiger plant kittens, though, because what. ]
Uh, no. Plants, animals, and minerals are all different things, Luke. Okay, but if they're impossible things like that then we can discount them as some sort of hallucinations, like dreams. That's probably good news.

[He's paying for their pizza and sticking his credit card back in his pocket before he snorts derisively, shaking his head in response. He'll have a seat on the floor in front of the couch to watch Annabeth work.]
I didn't sleep through Biology, 'Beth. I know plants, animals and minerals are all different. That doesn't explain what I saw. Do you ever remember going to the Smithsonian as a kid because I don't.

sounds like someone mailed you an art project.
does it fit, though? or does it seem important?

So with my zero free time I think I'm going to apply for that internship at Fuji. Good idea or best idea?
