So maybe you've just gotten back from the most mellow kidnapping ever and you're itching to tell your bandmates about what went on with the cool helmeted guys while everyone else was at that stuffy party. Unfortunately, you'll have to wait a little while to tell them, but that's okay - surely you can keep yourselves occupied until everyone else returns.

Or maybe you're one of those who wound up at that party of Naomi's, and your night was a little less fun. Now you're back at HQ, possibly with mended physical injuries and almost certainly with a few new psychological scars. Now's your chance to check in on your friends and bandmates who missed out on all the trauma and deal with things as best you can.

Smaller packages.

[...What? She's not going to open something that's not to her.]

I should go get it. Do you mind waiting?

[tigermillionaire]

Um...okay?

[He pulls back a little, looking awkward. It's not like he had anywhere to be in specific, but...this is really strange. How does she know it's for him if it's just a bunch of small packages?]

Did they have my name on them?

[twoscompany]

They did.

[Its totally not because the package was taken from anyone who was concerned for Tiger or anything!]

[tigermillionaire]

Okay...Then yeah, if they're mine.

[He seems like he's prepared to just wait, even though this is sort of weird and confusing.]

[twoscompany]

I'll be right back, then. Wait here.

[She stands to leave, then stops.]

...Please.

[Now she walks off.]

[tigermillionaire]

[He feels weird and uncomfortable. Not that that hasn't been more or less a constant state of affairs since a month or two ago, or at the very least since the murder party, but...moreso because he doesn't really know what Garnet is doing.

They haven't had the most stellar interactions in the past, and for some reasons that also makes him feel weird and upset.

He waits, though. When Garnet comes back, she'll find him sitting somewhere nearby basically just looking incredibly depressed and poking at his phone.]

[Here comes the box. Its unopened. However, Steven's address is also very clearly on it, while the return address is...well...]

Here you go. Make sure you toss out the outer box.

[tigermillionaire]

[Tiger looks at it hesitantly...and then, instead of opening it, he wraps his arms around the outside of it.]

Thanks. I think.

[twoscompany]

[She looks at him as he does so, nodding.]

Hey. If you need help getting it to your penthouse...

[tigermillionaire]

...Okay...

[He doesn't, really, because he's already holding it. But he feels weirdly inclined to accept her offer anyway. This whole thing has been sort of strange.

He hesitantly starts moving back in the direction of the penthouses, watching her uncertainly.]

[twoscompany]

[And she follows, ready to hold whatever Tiger needs her to hold. She did offer, after all!]
