Had an x-ray done today. Guess what they found? It was you, safely tucked away in my heart! They said my heart is fine with a friend like you in it. Send this to all the people you love and care for, if you get 5 back no one will break your heart. Xx
[ A message pops up in your inbox from an anonymous source. How strange! If you don't delete it immediately, you'll be greeted with an audio message that's quiet, at first. In fact, it's quiet enough that just in time for you to turn it up, it starts to speak. It sounds suspiciously like Xerxes Break if you know him, but at the same time, there's a totally stupid voice being used, since it's not like Break would send this message along. Emily, though? Of course. She's such a gossip. ]

Send this to all the people you love and care for, because if you don't, then something preeeety bad might happen to them! Heart failure is pretty serious~! Kehehehehehe!!!
(( ooc note ; break is sending this to literally everyone in the game, so I'm sorry... Feel free to figure out he caused it, since it's not like he's trying that hard to hide it. ))
[ Wrapped in sparkly orange paper, Larry gets an orange zip-up hoodie because he needs to enter the modern age, but also an orange tie so he can grow up.
There's an envelope labeled "Mr Larry" and inside is a card and a bunch of orange glitter. ]
Merry Christmas, Mr Larry! I hope you don't feel like a loser anymore, but just in case you can wear a tie if you want to be a grown up.
[There is a box delivered to Larry's residence and a charming Christmas themed card to go along with it. Also, the box is gift wrapped beautifully, but to heck with that, here's the note:]
Merry Christmas! I hope you're having a good day full of holiday cheer.
I happen to like painting too so I wanted to make sure you had a set that had wonderful colors to play around with! I hope it's to your liking and that you'll paint beautiful pictures.
Signed, Ai Thao Kha
[And indeed, inside the box is another box! And in that box... Nah, a box of high quality watercolor paints is what he'll find along with some decent paintbrushes to go along with it.]
[On Christmas, Phoenix sends Larry a package containing a few gifts. There's a coffee mug he thought he might find amusing, as well as a new comb, a book on managing one's finances and a tacky sweater.
There's also a Christmas card; the front features a picture of Phoenix and Trucy with Santa beards photoshopped onto them.
"Dear Larry,
We've had our rough times. A lot of them, really. Sometimes, I really question things.
But I also rememeber how long we've known each other. That helps. You've been there since the beginning, and ever since then, you've sometimes did everything you could to help us.
I'm glad to have you here as well. Even if you're not from the same time, you're still the same Larry. I hope that you have a merry Christmas and try not to do anything too stupid. With luck, maybe soon we'll be back at home laughing about this weird ideal.
[Larry's gift is comprised of two new sketchpads, a set of fine colored pencils, and a book featuring the greatest historical masterpieces in the world of art. Edgeworth had at least been thoughtful enough to find a book that wasn't too wordy and was more about the art and the different angles of each work.
The card is plain, the penmanship is anything but.
Larry,
Merry Christmas. I hope you spend more time honing your craft than getting into more trouble.
[ so!! they totally haven't talked since their date 100% because hawke kind of... forgot. hawke, you're not a good date. either way, some time after the flooding and amidst the repairs, a thought occurs to hawke.
larry butz. ]
Hi, Larry. It's Hawke, from a few weeks ago. I was just calling to ask, ah... well, I suppose to wonder if you were still... alive? Yes, I suppose that's it. It would be a shame if you died, after all. Sorry for not reaching out before, I've been... busy! And well, the floods.
[Truthfully, and regretfully, Larry thought maybe Hawke wasn't that into him since she never even gave him her number after that date. But he also constantly forgets that there's a general directory on the CereVice so it's a complete and utter surprise to hear her voice on the other end of his voicemail today. Not that he's complaining!
As usual, he tries to stay as casual as possible. And not y'know, psyched that Hawke actually cares enough to check in with him again.]
Hey, Hawke! It's great to hear from you again! And great to hear you made it through the flood too!
I'm doin' okay- my pad got hit pretty bad during the flood but it's...liveable for the most part.
["Liveable" meaning half of it got pretty much destroyed, but at least he can use it.]
Anyway, how about you? You didn't get hurt or anything, right?
[ honestly, hawke most likely forgot. it was a nice time! she enjoyed herself! larry was a nice guy! but it's also hawke, eternally fumbling from one adventure to the next.
at the very least, she doesn't notice larry's over-hype. ]
No water's enough to stop me, really but I'm glad you're alright.
[ and she is, genuinely so! there's such nice people here in cerealia, it'd be a shame if any of them got hurt. ]
As for me, ah... well, where I was living isn't really there anymore and I can't seem to find my dog but a friend is offering me his couch for the moment, so I'm grateful for that. Otherwise, I'm quite fine. Bored, if anything.
[Within a few hours of Phoenix's return from that odd adventure, he's started to contact most of his friends to check up on them. And includes the Butz.]
Hey! Larry? Are you still here? And, alive and all?
[...Hopefully Phoenix didn't value his eardrum too much, because Larry really does yell right into his Cerevice when he hears his missing bff's voice.]
Where the hell were you?! Me and Edgey were freaking out over here 'cause all these people suddenly went missing!!
[There are two different values of "freaking out" between the two of them, though.]

Thanks for the head's up Trucy! I guess you really found out all about me back home. Was I seriously still doing this kind of stuff at 33?

And that would be telling! Although Daddy has told me a lot of stories about you when you were the age you are now, y'know.

Pearl you're the best. This hoodie is seriously comfortable! And everything's my favorite color! Thank you!

P.S. I'm doing better now on the loser front. I think I've kind of found my place now.

Hey, this is Larry! Thank you SO much for the super awesome SS present!! You've really made my day!
[He inserts some happy and music note emoticons for added effect. HE'S REALLY HAPPY, OKAY.]
I want to break these paints in in a special way. Would you be up for me doing a portrait for you? I want to do it as thanks for the present!
Oh! And Merry Christmas!!

Dear Uncle Larry,
I hope you have a lovely Christmas! I also hope you'll come and spend some time with us...not only on Christmas, but on New Year's!
Love,
