[Yessss, she's winning the conversation, a thing you can definitely win. Everything going her way.]
That's good. It'd be sad to be light years away from you.

[Oh Ray.]
I would be sad too, especially since a light year is equivalent to 9.46 trillion kilometres.
...
But that's not what we were talking about, I think?
[But he has been suitably distracted from considering driving.]

[ s u c c e s s ! ]
Not really. Neat fact, though.
Meet me in the arcade so I can bring you over to my house using a not-wormhole.

[He preens on his end at her saying it's a neat fact.]
Okay, I'll see you soon.
[And that's the last message he'll send before he's finding his arcade card and using it to go from his bedroom to the Arcade. Hopefully he's there before her but who knows?
He is keeping an eye out for her though and doing his best to not be distracted by the games and such.]

[It doesn't take her too long, but she does decide to retreat from the living room to her bedroom before opening her own door to Elias's Arcade. Frankly, she is too tired to deal with any possible drama that having her boyfriend over could cause, even just an awkward "oh, he's here". No thanks. Just gonna skip it.
Soon enough, though, Ray arrives and starts looking around, searching for a manticore out of habit even though she knows better.]

[Not too long, although he's almost being drawn to a game when she arrives and he notices her. Since unlike her he looks for a fellow slime, so when he spots her?
He raises what he manages for an arm and waves.]
Ray, hi.
[As he makes his way over to her.]

Its someone's birthdaaaaaaay, check ur 4thie door.
[By the time Ray finds this... ominous message. Once Ray goes to check her room in the arcade, she'll find an alright looking wrapped box. Leo clearly had tried to do a bow, but it absolutely didn't work.
Within is as promised a jacket. The front and back are carefully decorated. The writing on the back is more or less professionally printed, but everything else was painted on or sewn in. Included is also a carefully folded origami crown.
An additional note with Skateboard Snail is included, be it drawn very shakily. Leo was kind of losing control of his hand by the point he finished this.]

[Her attention is drawn immediately, Donnie's voice being much more interesting than tinny game noises, and her rhinophores perk with a happy blink of their lights. Ah, right. There he is! Different, but Donnie. She decides to mostly stay where she is, since they'll be headed through the door again soon enough.]
Hello.
[He's got an arm! Mostly! Very good. She'll raise her own in response before reaching back towards the entrance.]
Is it getting easier to be a slime?
Hello.
[He's got an arm! Mostly! Very good. She'll raise her own in response before reaching back towards the entrance.]
Is it getting easier to be a slime?
[He's been... managing to try to take on a real shape when he is around people, so the arm is something! He can't help but smile at Ray once he is closer to her.
As to her question, he nods a little.]
Yeah, although it's kind of hard to focus on things sometimes. Mostly when I'm keeping a shape though.
[He is not a creative thinker, so it takes a lot of brain power for him to make himself more than something formless.]

[There's no response on that first day, with her feeling dead tired by the time she makes it back to hill house, but she checks in the morning and...eventually remembers to make her way to the Arcade. Luckily, either no one was nosy or no one would dare, so the gifts are safe...! And met with confusion for a bit because her brain hasn't quite fully recovered yet...not sure how long she zones out there for, but after that? Putting on that crown and looking over this jacket that she has zero memory of conspiring on. Dang, Leo. The effort.]
I love it. Thank you, Leo, you're amazing.
Sorry it took me so long. I fell asleep when I got home.

Mm.
[She nods her agreement. Focus was definitely...something! It's a little strange for her to think about having trouble just looking like yourself, but she struggles with plenty of concepts that are easy for others.]
Is being formless bad? For you.
[Into her underground room they] -- Ah! Molly, down.
[Sorry about her snuppy being So Happy to see her, because the minute she's been gone has been Torture, how could she leave? It's curious about this second goo person, too. Hello? Other goops exist?? Hello!]

[Into her room they go, although... Hello snuppy. Donnie can't help but laugh a little at Molly's reaction to Ray and he holds out a "hand" for them to sniff.
Hopefully, Molly remembers him from way back when he made hiscrappybo staff here and that he still kind of smells the same... If the snuppy can even sense people by smell that is.]
It's okay, dog thingies get excited sometimes yeah?
[Although he can't recall a single time he's seen his friend's dog thingy, Mayhem, get excited like this.]

[By smell is Molly's primary way of sensing people! And the world in general. Its memory? Ehhh... Molly doesn't know who Donnie is, but it at least recognizes him as Familiar and Friend.]
Umm... [ahaha...ha...] I don't really know. All my other pets before Molly... [uhhhhh]
Umm... [ahaha...ha...] I don't really know. All my other pets before Molly... [uhhhhh]
[As long as Molly isn't scared of him, it's all good. He wouldn't want to scare his girlfriend's pet after all.
He looks at Ray as she speaks and well... Realization crosses what features he's making.]
Oh, well... Um, I never had a pet so I'm just going by what I know from like. Television.

[Out of the two of them, Ray is far more likely to be the one that scares a pet, so it's all good.]
Yeah. Um... That's why I really wanted one. They always looked like they really loved their person.
[It was such an ideal vision, a girl and her dog happily playing while her parents watched on, bursting with affection for their daughter and for each other... She had it for a while. It was nice.
But that's not very good conversation, cough.]
Molly's never not felt like mine. I really love them.
[smushy smushy smushy, what a perfect pet. Time to settle down on the floor next to her bed, which seems to be for Molly more than her, along with her army of stuffed animals. Her two new ones have clearly been placed with a lot of care at the front, close to where Ray now sits. She tips her shell down onto its side without much ceremony, immediately propping her elbows onto it. Molly joins in by resting down her chin on it.]
What have you been doing? You didn't get sick with the mushrooms, so...
[Probably hadn't been wandering around? Maybe??]

[Why are the twins like this............. Like, mostly that's all good, but why are those twin privileges? That sounds terrible.]
I'm mostly resting, but I think it's been nice. I feel
nice.
[She feels very cared for and wanted. It's nice!! Head too empty and embarrassed to think of another way to put it.]
I don't mind it this year so much.

[Leo had the feeling Ray would get back to him when she could. She's been re-slimed and struggling with what that entails.
Maybe a small part of him worries the jacket was too much, but that's easy to shuffle aside. He and Ray talked about this! Of course, she wants a cool jacket!]
Ray-bae, I thought you were mad busy and would get back to me when you could, nbd. Happy birthday~!
Hope the jacket fits okay! I had to guess a little size wise.

[And Donnie is more thinking how animals reacted to him before he ended up here, which he is sure would mean he'd win the pet scaring contest.]
I see, well... Good that Molly feels like yours then.
[As he goes to settle on the floor, close to Ray but not too close as he notes the stuffed animals and he sees the two he got her at the front and that makes a happy feeling flutter in what passes for his chest. He sets his shell kind of to a side so it's not in the way of her or intruding in her space as well and kind of copies her by kind of half leaning against it himself.]
What have I been doing? [The little cogs in his head start turning as he does his best to remember things.]
I've mostly stayed at home because getting around isn't as easy as it usually is...

[Fits...? She looks it over again where she's hung it, considering. She knows she doesn't leave residue or dissolve things unless she wants to, but she doesn't want to ruin it... Even so, it makes her happy to think about.
...Ugh, how long has she zoned out this time? If she tries to find out, she's going to forget what she's doing again and get lost in the tick-tocking.]
I'm a shapeshifting monster. If it didn't fit, I'd change to fix that.
[The jacket is perfect; it is her body that would be wrong.]
I wasn't busy. I was in Haftesal and I keep stop thinking.
That's not how you say it but I can't think right.

Okay, good. Cause I don't care if he and Bucky have this new weird homoerotic dance going on, I'm not tolerating disrespect to my sister. Yeah, you can handle yourself, but still!!
Honestly, I can believe weird mushrooms make your brain freak out in new ways.

I now feel silly about worrying about sizing, but I stand by my intent.
You've been reslimed, and I'm pretty sure that makes your brain go full mrrrrrrr for a while if you're not super focused.

It's not silly.
I have a real body sometimes.
Like with skin and bones.
I'm used to that.
How's Donnie doing?
