[A bunch of presents appear in Wylie’s place of residence

Addressed to Wylie, it seems there’s 3 plush items.

Addressed to Pomelo, is kind of a lot. Theres a fruit basket. 8 small plush things. A few rectangular items. And a larger item.

Everything is wrapped in festive Christmas paper.

They all say they’re from ★

A note reads:

Merry Christmas, Wylie and pomelo! I figured pomelo doesn’t have a lot, so I fear I might have gone a little overboard, haha! Hope you guys like your presents, I care about both of you dearly!

-💜✨

*Wylie immediately starts fussing over its own gifts, leaving Pomelo to process the gifts

[I]

[I]

[For me?]

*Pomelo immediately turns its attention towards the fruit basket and plush material, more familiar things for it

*It keeps its Storyteller plush under its arm as it attempts to open the gifts, narrating its process to the plush as it works

[dusting-the-grapevine]

Hey um, pomelo

How ya doin, kiddo?

@cossy-the-cosmic-pippins

[Fine, I've stayed here longer than normal]

[Gale is taking me to a studio potluck]

[I'll probably go light side after]

[I've had a lot of firsts recently]

[dusting-the-grapevine]

Hello, dear. Cossy asked me to check up on you and Pomelo. How are you two doing?

@dice-devourer-devourer

*It feels like you walked in on something.

Ah hello Sweetbeast haha I’ve been better…

[This is better…]

And don’t you deserve best

*You feel static leeching out In malcontent.

… Anyhoo… an anon by the name of Mint, have you heard of her before, I’m not her biggest fan haha but a lot of her points on why. Nyx might not be the best caregiver. applied to. me. and Pomelo’s other caregiver.

*The static burns further.

And uh I might. have a rocky relationship with the dear but. I can’t let this continue. I don’t think I should continue being. it’s caretaker. I’m sorry

*The static hits a crescendo.

[dusting-the-grapevine]

Hey um. Vessel. I’d like to talk to you.

@cossy-the-cosmic-pippins

*There's a pause before the static starts trickling through

[Yes?]

[What do you want to talk about?]

[Is it the puppet pippins? I swear I didn't hurt him]

[dusting-the-grapevine]

Perceptions

*It seems to be a series of drawings by Pomelo

[dusting-the-grapevine]

Why hello there little fruit!~ You haven't met your part in the story yet I see!~

-body horror anon.

[No, I havent yet]

[My creator has been working to get the story way]

[You're the thing like me that Boxxer has been chasing right?]

[dusting-the-grapevine]

[Me!]

It seems like Pomelo eats like any good video game character, that I mean think of when a character ‘consumes’ an item like an apple for healing, there’s no animation but the item is still gone. That’s how Pomelo eats without a mouth, sadly given that when a character consumes a potion, there’s usually no bottle left, means that Pomelo does the same thing. It does seem to get better at this with time, but it will likely accidentally devour more cups and plates before it reaches that level.

Another note: this ability depends on the perception of others so if one overthinks it, Pomelo will lose the ability to eat.

[dusting-the-grapevine]

nooo pomelo

[?] [What do you mean?]
