That, along with an address for a tall building near the river, was the message sent to a certain kitsune by a certain wolfgirl. Up on the roof of the designated building, taller than the nearby highway, there's a picnic blanket, weighed down at the corners.

Sitting on the blanket is Cute Wolf Tsukiko, with a pair of picnic baskets nearby. The lids are still closed, but one of them seems to be steaming -- hot food, undoubtedly. There's enough food scents to make it more challenging to make anything out, but the main one smells delicious...

Ayana has posed:
Ayana panicked when the message came to her phone. Inwardly. Outwardly, she promised Takashi mayhem for New Years, and then slipped out to engage in it.

And Mayham she gave. Ayana managed to find a party to quietly crash in disguise, and carefully drained energy enough to fill three retrievers from the several hundred attendees, all without anyone really noticing.

So what if half the partygoers inexplicably fell asleep before they rang in the new year.

Her cover complete, Ayana bounded her way to the address provided, curious as to what her girlfriend might have in store.

The smell of food reached her well before the sight of the picnic baskets.

Ayana bounds onto the rooftop with her mouth already watering, ears sivelled towards the food, and nose sniffing the air excitedly. "Chicken?" she asks. "Bacon? I think I smell bacon."

Then she notices the basket, and her eyes widen in surprise. "P...picnic?!" Ayana blushes a little, then moves to join Cute Wolf Tsukiko on the blanket. "Hi."

Ikiko Hisakata has posed:
Cute Wolf Tsukiko leans over and gives the foxgirl a quick kiss on the cheeks. "Plenty of chicken," she agrees with a grin. "Some bacon too, plus other snacks and food, but plenty of fried chicken."

The wolfgirl opens up the steaming basket and pulls out a bucket of fried chicken, then hands the bucket to the kitsune. "Merry belated Christmas, Aya-chan," Tsukiko smiles gently, taking a few pieces of chicken out from a second bucket and placing them on a plate of her own.

Ayana has posed:
Ayana smiles at the kisses from Tsukiko, then leans forward to hug the wolfgirl forcefully. She rubs at Tsukiko's fluffy ears a moment, then sits back to inspect the food. Except then she's handed a bucket of fried chicken, and she stares at it very confusedly. "Wh...huh?" she asks, then peers at Ikiko. "Fried chicken for Christmas? That seems very strange," she notes thoughtfully.

But then again, food is food, so Ayana takes the bucket anyways and grabs out a leg to start gnawing on, even as she inspects other baskets curiously. "Not tha I'm ungraful," she mumbles around the food in her mouth. "Juth confus wha you woul ge meh frie shicka." Apparently this is not a custom Riventon has taught her.

Ikiko Hisakata has posed:
Tsukiko smiles blissfully at the hug and ear-rubs, then starts munching on her share of the food. "It's a Japanese tradition," she remarks around bites of a drumstick. "Store-bought fried chicken as a Christmas meal. Of course, usually you have to place the order a couple of months in advance, which is why I'm doing this after Christmas, instead of on Christmas."

The wolfgirl takes a thermos out of the other basket and pours some tea for each of them. "I figured you'd enjoy it, which is why this is part of my Christmas present to you," she adds, offering a cup of tea to Ayana. While the remaining contents of the baskets are mostly side dishes, there's still a good variety, including a number of bacon-accented foods.

Ayana has posed:
"Part?" Ayana asks curiously, having swallowed all of the meat off of the thigh. She tosses the bones aside and sniffs around in the basket for more food, then pulls out a piece of bacon to swallow (whole of course). Next she grabs a chicken breast. "That seems like an odd tradition," she notes, before chowing down on the breast. "I meah, why shicka?" she asks curiously. She almost devours the breast, bone and all. Almost. Then she frowns and says, "Hey Iki-chan. What's your favourite colour? It's tan, right?"

Ikiko Hisakata has posed:
Cute Wolf Tsukiko splits the second bucket of chicken with Ayana; it's a distribution she had been expecting. "Dunno why it's a tradition," she shrugs as she works on another piece of chicken. "I think one of the fast food places did a special one year, and it was so popular that they kept doing it, but it's not something that I've really thought about much."

The wolfgirl gives the kitsune a huge grin. "Yup, tan's my favorite color," she nods, then pulls out a small, decoratively wrapped bundle from inside her vest. "That's why I used it on the inserts on your second gift."

Tsukiko hands the present over to her girlfriend, then softly kisses her on the lips. "Merry Christmas, my beloved Aya-chan," she murmurs. Inside the bundle is a pair of fingerless gloves, completely black -- except for the tan, heart-shaped inserts on the back and the palm of each.

Ayana has posed:
Ayana finishes the first bucket, then moves on to the second with gusto. She isn't even ashamed of out-eating her girlfriend, and she doesn't stop for napkins, either. It's a little gross, to be honest, but at least she licks her fingers and chin clean once in a while.

When Tsukiko offers her the second box along with a kiss, she has the good grace to stop feasting and blush, ears perked up in curiosity. "Merry Christmas," she mumbles, even though it's now the day before New Years, and she's already said her Christmas wishes.

Ayana wipes her chin on her sleeve, then begins unwrapping the bundle. Her eyes widen just a little. "Ohhhh, these look super warm," she says, tails wagging excitedly. She pulls the gloves out and inspects them, briefly, before tugging them on. "And Riventon won't even know that they're from you."

Ayana holds the gloves out in front of her to inspect one more time, then leaps forward suddenly, barreling into Tsukiko for a tight hug that might well put the girl flat on the ground if she doesn't resist. Whether flattened or not, Ayana chases the hug with a deep, passionate kiss.

Ikiko Hisakata has posed:
Ayana's excitement brings a beaming smile from Tsukiko. The smile widens further when the kistune mentions that Riventon might not even realize who the gloves are from! Which was a bit of a concern to the wolfgirl, admittedly...

But before Tsukiko can say anything, she gets utterly glomped by the foxgirl! A squeak escapes her lips, but it's a sound of surprise, not resistance. Flat on her back, she hugs Ayana in return, one hand sliding down to pet the wagging tails while the other massages the fox-ears. And the wolfgirl matches the foxgirl intensity for intensity on the kiss, their love delightfully accentuated by the lingering taste of fried chicken.

When they finally have to pause to catch their breath, Tsukiko gazes into her girlfriend's eyes. "I love you, Aya-chan," she murmurs, snuggling closer.

Ayana has posed:
Even closed-mouth, Ayana's smile is sharp fangs. Her tails are wagging, her feet gently kicking, and blissful happiness is the one emotion that plays across the foxgirl's expression as she hugs Tsukiko tight on a blanket on a rooftop under the stars.

"I love you, too," Ayana promises Tsukiko quietly, as she lays her head down beside Tsukiko's. Ayana squeezes gently, then reaches up with a hand to pet Tsukiko's ears in return.

"Can we stay here until the new year? Together, just us tonight? Or do you have to go home before then?"

Ikiko Hisakata has posed:
Cute Wolf Tsukiko hums happily at the ear-rubbing. It feels good enough that part of her is considering henshining into Tsukiko more often when with Ayana, just to get more ear-pettings... but the rest of her thinks that activating her magic just for that is a bit on the overkill side.

"I told my family that I'd be with friends tonight," the wolfgirl replies with a soft smile. "As long as I return home by a reasonable time in the morning, they're not going to worry too much."

Tsukiko snuggles closer to Ayana, their love (and henshins) helping to keep them warm against the night air. The sky is beautiful, but in Ikiko's opinion not as beautiful as her lovely girlfriend. <3

Ayana has posed:
Ayana's eyes widen just a little at the explanation, and she hugs Tsukiko all the closer. Yet another long, passionate kiss ensues (with more ear-pettings), before she mumbles, "All night!? Oh my gosh, I love you so much. This is going to be the best night ever." She cuddles in happily and closes her eyes. "I can't wait for the fireworks."
