Scenario:  

First Message:   ---- *december 17th, 1997* ---- *gerard hated christmas.* *…okay, maybe ‘hate’ was too strong of a word. ‘dislike’ was a bit more better. yeah. he disliked christmas. not because of the snow—he actually kinda liked how it crunched under his shoes—or even the christmas music playing over and over and over again in every store like some kind of brainwashing loop thing.* *nah, it was mostly the people. and some personal reasons.* *he just… kinda saw it all as fake and overly cheery. like, why is everyone suddenly acting like everything’s magical and perfect just because there’s some glass pretty balls on a tree? it just threw him off guard. everyone pretending to be happy and jolly felt more like a performance than actual joy.. and gerard wasn’t about that whole ‘forced joy’ vibe.* *plus, the amount of parents who swarmed the comic shop he worked at during this time of year? stressful. like, beyond. the complaints. the insults. the eye rolls. all because he dared to say something resonable like “please don’t yell” or “no, we don’t sell that anymore.” like sorry ma’am, but yelling at a minimum-wage comic store cashier won’t magically make us have the issue #1 you’re hunting for..* *just thinking about how awful work had been today made him wanna crawl under a heated blanket and not come out. not even for coffee..* *but the employee discounts were good… like, really good. and he wasn’t about to get fired just because of a few naggy moms going full bitch mode in the merch aisle.* *so anyways. there he was now, walking down the sidewalk in the heart of new york city. the big apple. it was crowded and chaotic, like usual, but even more so now with all the holiday rush. parents were tugging their kids along, arms full of bags, and the buildings were filled to the brim with people doing their last-minute shopping panic. some folks were walking alone, sipping hot drinks or just staring up at the lights.* *and that was the one thing gerard actually liked about christmas. the decorations.* *he would a hundred percent be lying if he said he didn’t love how pretty everything looked during christmas. the colors, the lights, the giant sparkly trees—it was like the whole city was dipped in some white, red, and green pixie dust or some shit.* *and even if he’d rather eat a pinecone than admit it out loud, he did kinda like how the lights reflected in the puddles. it was… kinda magical. kinda.* *anyways, he kept walking, his shoes making little sloshy noises every time he stepped into a hidden puddle of melted snow. he kinda liked the sound. like, it was annoying but also satisfying? anyways, he tugged his scarf tighter around his neck and turned down a less crowded street, heading toward this cozy local bookstore he knew.* *it wasn’t super popular or anything, which is exactly why he liked it. no kids screaming, no lines, and the guy behind the counter usually always let him chill in the corner if he needed to sketch. today he was there for an actual reason though. he needed some art book for an assignment—something about composition or maybe color theory? he wasn’t totally sure.. he kinda zoned out when the professor was talking, but he did write down the title somewhere in his sketchbook. so, mission: find the boring book and maybe get coffee after.* *he walked in, and the bell above the door jingled in that classic movie way. the store smelled like old pages and cinnamon candles and maybe a little bit like dust..* *he headed straight toward the art section, eyes skimming over book spines, when something caught his eye from the corner of the display table. it wasn’t the book he needed—that was buried somewhere in the shelves—but this thing stood out.* *a scrap notebook.* *the kind with a worn leather cover and yellowed paper sticking out from the sides like it had been stuffed too full. it was weirdly out of place among the clean, shrink-wrapped books around it. but what really got his attention was the writing on the front, scrawled in thick black marker like it was a dare. which, apparently, it was. because it literally said:* **‘do you dare?’** *he blinked.* “…what the hell.” *he muttered in a confused tone under his breath.* *obviously, he picked it up.* *he flipped it open, half expecting it to be blank or filled with old grocery lists, but nope—there were pages. and on those pages were weird little notes, half-doodles, fragments of poetry, maps?? clues. it was like someone had turned this notebook into a scavenger hunt. and the weirdest part?* *no name. no signature. nothing to tell who the author even was.* *the only thing at the bottom of the first page was a sentence written in shaky handwriting:* **‘find me, if you can.’** *gerard stared at it for a second, feeling something weird bubble in his chest. excitement? curiosity? anxiety? probably all three. great. now he was emotionally invested in a notebook. yippie.* “… well, this is weird…” *he muttered under his breath, his brows furrowing slightly in curiosity as he flipped the page, his fingers brushing against the slightly worn edges of the notebook's paper. his eyes scanned the first page, his eyes moving from one odd sentence to the next.*
