The former ruler of Sanguis moon received this picture and called it "junk mail." 8 days later Sanguis moon became uninhabitable. A man received this picture and immediately sent out copies, then received good fortune for an entire year, including winning a jackpot lottery. Copy, paste, and send this to 9 people or you will be cursed. Don't take any chances. Sanguis did, and now no one can live there.

[ ...huh? ]

Captain!?
What exactly is this? Some kind of spell?
If you've uncovered a plot of some sort let me take a look at the rest of the details too!

[ bro is this merlin's fault. i ain't even tagged him yet but that's still what cain's thinking, hello? ]

no, no. it's not a plot.
it's a scam. some of us were fooled but i won't let you be tricked!

( bro STOP UR MEANT TO BE HIS HERMIT IN TRAINING NOT HIS HERMIT IN BLAMING! )

Eh? Is it really a scam?
I don't see what anyone stands to gain from it though. It's not like it makes you send rupies to someone, or asks to reveal any secrets that might be better untold.

[ i can be both!!! it's called multi-tasking? ]

Gran!?

[ wait, this is the second one. if he didn't think much of it when it was just djeeta bc life with her is always nuts, this is starting to be a little... ]

Is this another Geistnacht thing?
I thought we were done with that...
Are you and the Captain alright??

[ yeah. you and the captain. :) i hate djeeta gets the crackhead response and ur stuck with this. ]

i mean, me myself and i are fine

( he is the captain after all. but... he knows what cain means. )

as for djeeta, that's still pending
but to be honest she sent it to more than 9 people
so i guess she should be like, super lucky, right?
she'll be fine

( uhhhhhhhhh hopefully )

I don't really get it yet, but as long as you sorted it out, then that's good!

[ look, he just woke up and he's squinting at his screen in the dark trying to make sense of all this. score 99 for another opportunity missed to make sense of gran being au djeeta. ]

wait
that's not good

[ that's the haste-typing aftermath of his brain catching up, but good-job gran, now you know cain types encouraging replies on auto-pilot ]

Assuming this thing was actually dangerous.
If you guys each sent it to 9 more people, wouldn't that endanger 162 more if they send it too?
Well, me aside, I guess that's 144.

If you think about it that way, it won't be long until the whole city's at risk.

( hm........ )

orrrrrrrrrrr that's 162 people about to have one year of good luck!

[ huh ]

I guess you aren't wrong. That would be everyone who plays by the rules, at least.
But how do we guarantee that?

when i ran out of people, i was told the numbers for two others so i could get enough
as long as we make sure everyone has enough people to send it to, it should be fine right?

( because, like, who would want to become the next sanguis moon? obviously everyone is gonna try. )

Oh, not bad. That could really work!
In theory, it should help everyone make new friends too so that's not a bad collateral.

[ one more has joined the ranks. the chainmail army grows. ]

Actually.

No. Sorry, never mind, I'm probably just overthinking it.

right?! see, it'll be fine

but wait no what were you gonna say

i wanna know!

Ah... I was really only wondering, but it's not that important.
Just maybe, the person who sent it first might have thought of that, too.

Well, I don't think this is really the ideal method, but that aside.
Imagine the curse wasn't real for a second. Just thinking it is and then following the rules, you might still be led to meet others, just like you proved.

[ leave it to cain to wonder about the motives of some rando writing chain mail. ]

( cain, too, finds a clumsily wrapped gift waiting for him on firialia evening. inside, there's a set of very cute stationary clearly intended for him. the note it comes with reads: )

Merry Firialia, please put them to good use!
　　— Santa

( there's also another present waiting for cain to stumble upon, wrapped in a cute little sack. inside, he'll find his two gifts all for him. )

Dear Cain,
Merry Christmas! I was going to buy you the Karma Sutra, but I was stopped!
From, Djeeta

You have a delivery!!

[ A little present addressed to Cain will be delivered on the eve of before the winter celebrations, together with a hand-sewn charm of what looks like an emerald carbuncle summon, a handwritten journal that neatly and beautifully talks about the lands of Eorzea and Othard, with little illustrations and fun facts, some mixed scents to use with an infuser, and a shimmering scarf in his favourite colour to keep him cozy with some star brooch accessories! ]

- "Most back home celebrate what we call "Starlight"— so I hope you'll enjoy this tiny journey to a new land where starlit hopes fill the land with light." - Megumi♥"

[ she doesn't deliver the gift herself; instead, it's a whole charade, because there's a man with a giant box at your door, ringing it before explaining: this is a fondue set with a tray of snacks to go with it, addressed from formidable.

the handwritten note reads: ]

Dear Mr. Cain,

Happy Valentine's day. I do hope you find my gift to your liking! This year, I figured I will try something more practical. This way, you can enjoy my chocolate with whatever snacks or foods you enjoy most.

With love,
Formidable. ♡
