Dr Worm hugs the letter once they finish reading it. They open the painting, too, and admire it.

They go to write a response.

'Jan, my angel,

Okay, thank you so much for letting me know, and for your lovely letter and painting. You're so very talented. I'll compliment it more when I see you in person.

Do not feel guilty... I will just be glad to see you. It sounds wonderful and I can't wait, dear.

<3 James <3'

Which they hand to the cyberspiders, thanking them, and going to hang the painting in their hallway.

*feeling better than they did earlier* *leaving sub-basement 5.5 for their office*

*giving the Valentine-themed letter for the cyberspiders to #100 (Cent) for doing a good job during the raid yesterday*

How are-

Affirmative?

-repairs going?

Positive.

*wishes #500 (Nestor) was here, putting their letter in their desk for now*

*reading their letter from Dr. Worm*

[exactinglywormish]

Dr Worm opens the door. They wonder who’s there before looking down.

‘Oh, hello cyberspiders! What are these? For me? Thank you!’

They lean down to take the present and letter, and open the letter first.

‘Jan, my sweetheart,

I… don’t quite know where to begin this letter.. other than to say that I miss you. You’re so perfect, Jan, you realise that? Utterly perfect, ethereal, incredible, amazing… I… perfect seems like an inadequate, clumsy word for you.

You are so caring, kind, and you work so hard. I worry about you, but you never tell me what’s wrong. I only want to help you dear, in any way I can.!

Oh… intelligent, strong, confident, powerful, gentle, sweet. All of it and more. You.

I would be honoured, my dear, if you would grace me with being one of my valentines.

If you say yes then… I want everyone I’m seeing to spend some time together, as a group date. But I also want to take you somewhere just the two of us, too.

Would that be alright? Let me know, angel.

- James <3’

The writing is in a reflective golden ink, and clumsy, but it looks like Dr Worm’s best handwriting.

[exactinglywormish]

Dr Worm is in the cafe, scribbling in a little book.

They look quite comfy, and they’re smiling.

You get a mysterious pink envelope with ‘Percival’ written on it in gold ink. The letter is sealed with a colourful wax seal with a little rainbow feather in it.

*He grins when he sees it, and takes it back into his rooms. Settling onto the couch, he carefully opens it (trying to not damage the seal).*

[exactinglywormish]

In similarly coloured paper and ink, the letter reads:

‘Percival, my dear,

I’ve been missing you. You must stop by more often.. I miss your thoughts, your words, your touch, every single drop of your perfection, darling. You’re a whirl of beauty, grace, and colour, and every time I pass you in the corridors I feel oh so fortunate to be in your presence. Would you grace me with the honour of being one of my valentines?

- James :)

P.S: i was thinking, we could go on a date just the two of us, but you can also join the date I’m planning for all of us together! Let me know <3’

‘Oh, okay.’ They serve Samah their hot chocolate. ‘Enjoy.’

@that-0ne-sam @exactinglywormish

Cmon, Samah, Dr Worm’s cafe is… this way!

*Ko comes into Dr Worm’s cafe, leading someone inside*

[exactinglywormish]

Dr Worm serves Ko’s hot chocolate and begins to make Samah’s.

‘So why are you here? I haven’t seen you before.’

@that-0ne-sam @exactinglywormish

Cmon, Samah, Dr Worm’s cafe is… this way!

*Ko comes into Dr Worm’s cafe, leading someone inside*

Dr Worm complies. ‘And you, Samah?’

‘I am not sure… I think coconut is part of it, but there’s other stuff too. But yeah, I can get you a vegan drink. Just tell me what drink you want to add it to.’

@that-0ne-sam @exactinglywormish

Cmon, Samah, Dr Worm’s cafe is… this way!

[exactinglywormish]

Dr Worm blinks. ‘….no….? I can get you a drink with the vegan blood if you like.’

[exactinglywormish]

Dr Worm looks intrigued.

‘Well, hello Samah. It’s nice to meet you.’

Then hop down to the floor and give them a smile.

Dr Worm waves from the countertop, where they sit with a cup of hot chocolate in one hand and a newspaper in the other.

‘Hey Ko! Who is this?’

[exactinglywormish]

Dr Worm opens it almost as soon as Nestor knocks.

‘Thank you, dear.’

They take the letter and blush at the heart shape. They carefully unfold it and read it before refolding it. This is definitely going in their bedside drawer.

Dr Work goes and writes another little note for him.

‘Yay! I can’t wait!’

They fold it and hand it to Nestor.

‘Thank you ever so much Nestor, will you give this to Jan? Thank you. You’re wonderful. I’ll see you soon!’

Darling Jan,

Ha... wow... you're so pretty and attractive and strong and clever and you're such a gentleman. I... Gentlejan? (sorry about the bad joke). How special and perfect you are. I don't have the words to describe how I feel...

You make me melt. I especially like when your bandages flutter... it looks a little like how you make my heart feel.

You're so utterly fascinating. Synthetics.. so fascinating. I've made you some polychlorinated biphenyls by the way, but they need to be stored with me for safety.

Even you eating was pretty.

Here I am, getting distracted (can you blame me?). You can send some of the cyberspiders to me, I've made about six little hats for them. They're all so cute.

Ah... what else was there to say... something. I don't have the words for it. How very frustrating.

Will you stop by mine soon? Or maybe someday I should visit yours! I haven't seen your office or quarters, and I'd like to. I crave your company. I have something for you, anyway. I hope it's an appropriate present.

James :)

[exactinglywormish]

Dr Worm smiles and goes to sit at their desk to write the letter.

‘Hello, my sweet. The cyberspiders came by to pick up their hats. They all look so very adorable.

The others had to work, but Nestor didn’t and they decided to stay for a little longer. Nestor is such a sweetheart, quite like yourself, and they’ve been ever so kind to me. They’ve even humoured me with hugs.

I hope you haven’t been working too hard. Ko suggested her, yourself and I go to an amusement park. What do you think? I’d love to go.

I hope to see you soon, angel. Look after yourself.

-James 🩵’

Dr Worm seals it away in an envelope and holds it out to Nestor. ‘Thank you, Nestor. You look after yourself, okay?’

[exactinglywormish]

Dr Worm snuggles Nestor. ‘Such a sweetie.’

‘Is Jan busy? I’m guessing he must be.’

They sigh. ‘I don’t have anything else to ask of you.. oh yes, can you deliver a letter to them? I can write it now.’
