[Sitting outside of Ford's door will be a very neatly wrapped BRIGHT baby pink box with a white ribbon. Attached is a little card.]
To Ford-san!
To help with restless nights and the fact that we barely sleep at all right now.
Love,
Usagi! ／(^ x ^)＼
[And should the box be opened, inside is a unicorn kigurumi that lets the wearer have a full, restful night's sleep.]

Hey! Uh. Just a quick text to let you know I’m fine! I kind of got stuck outside when the whole town went BANANAS but I ran into a friend (his name is Glitch) and I’m staying over at his place for a little bit.
[ Ozpin is... well, Ozpin is still alive, which sets him apart from nearly every other adult from Remnant. He is still tending wounds from the battle, but he is lucky that's the worst of it. He is lucky to take away no scars from the battle, even if his exhaustion seems to cut down to his soul.
Once things have settled enough to realize a warning is in order, he sends a message. ]
Stanford, this is Ozpin. I'd like to thank you for your assistance last week. [ Was it last week? Things run together without the cycle of the sun and moon, and the clocks aren't reliable. He doesn't have the presence of mind to think on it for long. ] I must warn you that the danger I spoke of, the Chill, is now present in Deerington. Keep alert for any individual with stark white skin and darkened eyes. They are largely incapable of speech, but may repeat their host's last words.
[ Had he told Ford that the changed skin and eyes were a fiction? Deerington doesn't seem to care. Deerington has drawn the monster straight from the pages of his own storybook. ]
A corrupted host must be destroyed.

[ You know what's great news to receive within days of your nephew maiming himself and your own decision to tackle your twin brother, both actions born out paranoia fueled by fears of possession?
Cause it sure isn't news that a different supernatural bodysnatcher is in town. Ford's pretty sure he remembers something about the eyes and skin not being a real warning sign, just a distortion of the myth, but... hell, if Ozpin says it's not in this case, then he'll take his word for it. He's too tired to even address the first part of Ozpin's message, instead jumping right to the part that he considers most pressing. ]
I appreciate you taking the time to warn me.
Are there any particular methods that need to be used to destroy the host?

[ He is glad to see the pragmatism. He has no time nor energy left to manage surprise or horror or hesitation, this month. ]
Any method that would typically kill the host should suffice.
[ Then, upon reflection: ]
The Grimm may display a measure of control over its host's usual abilities and capacity for battle. If you find yourself in an unfavorable match, do not hesitate to call upon me and run.

What if I gave him a much higher but completely impossible number?
Like 800?

THAT'S GREAT!
EITHER HE'LL KNOW YOU'RE ON MY SIDE HERE OR HE'LL BUY IT AND IT'LL BE HILARIOUS ANYWAY
(HE'S A SMART KID THOUGH, I'M BETTING ON THE FIRST ONE)

I'm sure he'll realize I'm lying, but it should get the point across.
Also.
Pointing hands are pointing hands, and they're an important symbol on their own. You can't just use them and say they're finger guns.

YEAH YEAH I BET THEY SAID THAT TO THE GUY WHO INVENTED FINGER GUNS TOO
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?? YOU'RE JUST POINTING AT ME TWICE!!!"
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?? YOU'RE JUST POINTING AT ME TWICE!!!"
Finger guns are a gesture, Stanley, not just a hand configuration. You need to convey movement.
And sometimes sound effects, depending on which dimension you're in.

[Left outside the house is a dark blue basket. Inside is an associate of tea, chocolates, a box of lemon drops, a bottle of wine and a copy of Charles Dickens, Christmas Carol. A blue Tardis-shaped card attached to the basket says, 'Santa' in silver marker.]
[On the 25th Ford will find a gift has been left outside his door! According to the tag it's from Fern, and inside the meticulously wrapped package is a reticulated puzzle ball carved out of bone.
Merry Christmas, Ford!]
Merry Christmas, Ford!]
[Ford will a box find either in his mailbox or sitting in front of his door at home outside. Inside, he'll find card sitting on top of a journal.
"Happy Holidays, Ford. I don't really know much about some of these holidays, but the sentiment seems really nice. You probably already have something for your notes, but I thought it might help either way.
-Mirai"
There's also an assorted mixture of cookies in a bag.]

[ Hmm... ]
I suppose like most breakfast foods best. Particularly waffles.
Why do you ask?

I'm learning to cook, I know nothing of American cuisine. Thought I'd ask for ideas.

[ Ford... buys that without a shred of hesitation. ]
Breakfast is a good place to start, then! American breakfast foods tend to be be fairly simple in terms of construction and ingredients. Waffles are likely among the most complicated of your options.

[Ritsuka is an INFINITELY better liar than Dipper by virtue of need.
So.]
Wait... why are waffles more complicated?
So.]
Wait... why are waffles more complicated?
Because they need specialized equipment to make. Pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, french toast, and even biscuits could all be made in a frying pan, but you need a waffle iron for waffles.
[ Yes, a waffle iron counts as 'specialized equipment'. ]

Oh. Well, I think my sensei likely has one. If not, I'll get one. Pretty sure *I* have one. Seems like something the toys would have.
[Hope you have a waffle iron, Dipper.]
