[GODSFORRENT Special] Seven-Minute Semblance in Quarantine

Quarantine #42

The team, getting farther away from their goal.

•••

[Team Mystery Novel Writers:]

Edward: Sakto may mga tindahan dito!

Orion: (confused look)

Edward: Hindi ako nakabili ng mga regalo kanina dahil kay Sir Henry, kaya dito ako maghahanap.

Orion: Oohhh, I will look for gifts for Noir then.

Edward: You haven't bought gifts for Noir yet?

Orion: No, I just think 37 gifts are still not enough.

Edward: Nabilhan mo na rin ba ng regalo iba mong kapatid?

Orion: Nope, just Noir.

Edward:

Edward: Sometimes I think Futhark's right when he said I'm a big bully. Ingat na ingat kayo sa alila ko.

Orion: Noir is your what

Edward: Best friend! (pushes Orion inside store) C'mon, let's see what this store has for last-minute Christmas shopping.

Orion: What are you planning to give your friends?

Edward: Another year of friendship with me.

Orion: Oh. That's nice. Wish I'd have someone to gift that to me, too.

Edward:

Edward: Maybe Dave Casedale Drew will be your friend if you wrote him a fan letter.

Orion: No, I'm burning him with acid next book, I don't think he'd want to be friends with me.

Edward: His friends are worse than that, believe me.

Orion: (sees an aisle full of notebooks) Maybe your friends will like this?

Edward: No, but these do have awesome designs.

Orion: Look, this one has a cute lock!

Edward: Yeah, nautical theme pa!

Orion: Bilhin mo na~

Edward: Sure—wait, no! We're here to buy gifts for my friends and dads!

Orion: Okay, sinong bibilhan mo?

Edward: Anong regalo ang pwede kong ibigay sa isang lalaking mahilig sa kape, pero masyado na s'yang maraming mug sa bahay. Mahilig din s'ya sa murder mysteries at detective stories.

Edward: Pero 'wag masyadong maganda sana kasi salbahe s'ya sa 'kin at sa mga tao sa paligid n'ya.

Edward: Pero kasi mabait naman s'ya deeeeeep down at inaalagaan n'ya rin naman ako minsan in his own way, so it would be nice if I showed him, through my gift, that he's still my friend kahit gago s'ya.

Orion:

Edward: Tingin mo, anong ireregalo ko sa kanya?

Orion: Uhm.

Orion: Socks na may miming?

Edward: You're not good at this as well, I'm in trouble.

[Team Hermod and Forseti:]

Henry: (eats cake with Forseti)

Forseti: (is wondering why Henry ordered cake but eats it anyway)

Henry: Do you want to join us tonight? We're celebrating Christmas at your house!

Forseti: (munches cake)

Henry: Kasama namin si Heim, si Arthur, 'yong mga anak-anakan ni Heim, saka si Niall at Fenrir!
