after further deliberation... I'm taking your advice. figured someone should know what my whereabouts are tonight and you're my partner in crime, so
if I show up dead it's the lundegaard alderman with a limp that did it

high five, bro!
and good thinking. if you don't come back, i'll fucking murder him (although i feel like you could defeat him easily in hand-to-hand combat, so i doubt i'll need to).

What's the best book you ever read? And, related but not necessarily the same answer, what's your favorite book?
Ooooh, that's a tough one!
Off the top of my head:
Best Book - Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi.
Fave Book - Frankenstein by Mary Shelley.
What about you, my good man?

I'm good! We got Jem back! I shot the thing but didn't kill it, so that's a little disappointing but what can you do?
How are you, big boss man?

How's everyone holding up in your neck this morning? I hope y'all had a good night's rest!
Since we're all headed your way later today, was wondering if there's anything I could bring that might make your whole camp go, "Wow! This sure makes our recent trauma go down a little easier!"

We're good as can be! How's it going over there? How are you? Thanks again for your help yesterday!
That's really thoughtful of you! I feel like your presence will be present enough.

Yes, of course! I'd be thrilled to!
[A Whitney runner hands over a paper bag addressed to a "Dr. Kostopoulos", containing a nearly full bottle of curl defining conditioner, and a smaller bottle of beard oil. The conditioner is technically past the expiration date, but still looks and smells okay, while the beard oil is an artisan product of Whitney made with jojoba oil.

Niko,
Some new items came into the Depot and I thought of you. Before you ask: this is a gift, and a heartfelt thank you for all the work you do keeping people safe and healthy.
(But if you do want to do something in exchange, encourage the responders to come to our shows! Four nights a week—Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat—and we will not allow an evil and hyperintelligent zombie cat to stop us from giving you all a fun, relaxing time at the theater!! Plus, we've just started work on a heartbreaking new play starring our very own Blythe Ferry—but oops, that's actually a secret right now. I can't erase pen ink, but I'm sure you know all about confidentiality.)

Hello Edgar! Thank you so much for the generous gift! I'll definitely invite everyone to come check it out—it'll be good for everyone to get out and relax for a few hours. Also: how exciting for Blythe!! I'd say he's going to kill it, but he's far too sweet to kill anything. Looking forward to it!
PS. Congratulations on your new position!

Hey!! Y'all probably heard a little bit about how our excursion went yesterday. We made it back safe and sound last night, but my Sidekick didn't have a drop of juice left in her and I just finally got to charge up.
We m I don' I'd sti [...] How's Prescott holding up under the weight of more danger excitement?
Oh, thank goodness! I was about to message you. Nat said you guys were fine, but I wanted to check. You're not hurt? Nobody's injured?
Everyone's okay over here, we're just trying to figure out a plan as to what we should do.

[Delivered to Niko’s bunk while he’s crashed out elsewhere, a couple things Blythe anxiously embroidered while Edgar was out on his mission: two cloth bookmarks (one with books and one with a raccoon), and two handkerchiefs (one with a fat little bee in each corner, and one with balloon animal in just one corner.]
An enclosed note:
I hope you’re getting a chance to relax and sleep for at LEAST three weeks!! Enjoy some of the fruits of my anxious fiddling around.
You know where to find me when you’re all rested up!

Blythe, these are beautiful, thank you! I will treasure them always!
I'm gonna have to figure out how to make something cool, and fast.
Hope you made it back safe and sound! Take care!

Pretty good! Honestly, I just do what Z tells me. She's the boss.
How're things on your end?

You ever wake up realizing you might be too gosh darn old to be living in times like these??
Every dang day! I gotta smile and keep pretending my joints don't hurt so they don't euthanize me.
Why, what's up?

Two pairs of gray sweatpants, one men’s medium and one men’s large. A three-pack of men’s flannel boxers, size medium. One large, fluffy pink bathrobe. Unfortunately, Court and John could not find men’s cold weather clothing…
A note on top of the pile reads “FROM COURT” in careful handwriting that, while neat, does not seem like Court’s.

Hey, if Court's with you, can you please tell her thank you from me? She left all this great stuff for me and I don't know where she's at.
(PS. I'm kidding. Thank you so much. You're a life-saver, bro.)

Do you want the honest answer, or should I make up something funny?
Good! Nothing broken! How's it going, hot stuff?
So should I be careful what I eat at Thanksgiving if I wanna get within smoochin' distance?
You know what? That's a good question. Best practice is to brush your teeth and wait a few hours, just in case. Thank you for being so considerate! Sorry to be such a pain! My immune system is held together with thoughts, prayers, and duct tape!
Can't give out anyone's personal health information, or tell anyone anything they tell you.

You are LEGALLY OBLIGATED to tell me more about square dancing and white supremacy at some point, by the way!!
I didn't know you'd actually be interested!!!
OKAY SO like, Henry Ford, the founder of Ford Motor Vehicles, was a noted racist. He hated jazz because he thought it was a Jewish conspiracy to corrupt the masses and take over the world. RIDICULOUS, am I right? (This must have been wild news to the African-Americans who actually invented it, but ANYWAY...)
Long story short, he poured a shitload of money into promoting square dancing as a wholesome (aka. "white") alternative to the moral decay supposedly brought on by jazz and its ilk. He published a book. He required all his employees to go to square dancing events. Funded fiddling contests and radio programs, created square dancing clubs... and it finally made its way physical education classes for kids, where it remains today.
The irony of all this, of course, is that America's square dancing tradition originally comes from African Americans, but it got whitewashed much like everything else.
And THAT'S why we all had to do it in gym class! (I am not making this up. I bet I could find a book on it in the library if you need me to cite my sources.)

I hear there's a black tie event on the horizon and was thinking about asking a cute doctor if he wanted to be my date. Think I should go for it?
You can ask him, but I might get a little jealous!
Whoa, really? I would've thought they'd all be dead.
I have to confess something I never thought would come up in my entire adult life.
[Sent with an early morning delivery runner to Prescott: a lightly used black tie with newly embroidered silver star accents similar to this, but in all silver.]
Niko,
Not that your current tie isn't BEAUTIFUL, but sometimes my fingers get to working and can't be stopped. I will NOT be offended if I see it being used as a tourniquet though!
Love,
Blythe

Thank you for the gift, this is so nice?? It's gorgeous! You're too good to me. I'll wear it with pride.
When Niko arrives at Whitney, Blythe has one of his coworkers/roommates/friends/family (Bo) bring out a produce box with fifteen slightly water-damaged books. There's a mix of historical fiction, a couple classics, and paranormal romance... but to be honest it's mostly paranormal romance. Hope you like werewolves!!
There's also a card, written in a sloppier version of Blythe's usual cursive:
🎉 HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 🎉
I hope you’re not tired of me telling you how incredibly brilliant, brave, noble, interesting, impressive, sweet, sensitive, thoughtful, and (most importantly) handsome you are!! Because I WILL be informing you of all these things (and MORE) all gosh darn day!!!
Love,
Blythe
