[ Gintoki definitely stayed as long as he could in Olivia's room, which probably wasn't a full night's rest— he was a restless individual and hardly got decent sleep anyway since he had so many nightmares.
Though, he is able to find a piece of paper and a utensil to write with that he leaves on her bed with the cloak he was given the other evening. It's all in Japanese, but maybe with the magics of this world she'll be able to understand: ]
Sakura-san,
Your company was very nice. Without your help, I may not have made it past another day.
Keeping your heart open is not an easy thing to do, in fact, a lot of people have trouble with doing it. [ Speaking from personal experience. ]
I think you'll find an important place in this world we've been brought to. Thinking otherwise is just stupid.
Never give up.

Hey, Olivia! If you're not busy, do you think you could meet me in the lobby of the Abel for a minute?
[A wrapped present appears in a place she'll easily find it, with a note attached.]
Olivia,
This is yours, there hasn't been any mistake, so please accept it.
You might not know me, but I deliver gifts to people around this time of year.
Especially for people like you, who can live so kindly with an open heart.
That isn't an easy thing to do, and I'm sure it's been difficult.
But the fact you manage to do it just shows how strong you are, even if you don't believe it.
I hope it will help keep you as warm as you are to other people.
Love,
Santa.
[It's a coat. Please don't freeze to death Ollie.]

S-Stop right there, [ she hisses, blinking back the sleep that still stubbornly clings to her eyes, holding the knife out towards the shadow at her window. ] I'm warning you...! I'm armed!

"Dear Olivia,
This is Steven. I wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas and let you know that I'm really happy to be friends with you! I hope that you can make a lot of friends here and be happy. Please take care!

PS: I tried making a cookie of you, but I'm sorry if it didn't come out good enough. It might not be possible to make a cookie look as pretty as you are!"
[On the back of the note, there's a doodle of Steven and Olivia smiling.
Enclosed within the package: There are a few cinnamon rolls and cookies shaped like random ALISTAIR recruits (including an Olivia one, of course) and a small goblin ballerina toy.]

Papyrus, unlike his brother, is very forthright about who he is when he gives gifts. Opening the letter reveals a maybe somewhat familiar font, which says:]
OLIVIA,
FIRST OF ALL: MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! IT'S MY FAVORITE HOLIDAY OF ALL, EVEN MORE THAN BARZZLE SNURFING DAY.
SECOND OF ALL: I MADE YOU SOMETHING IN CELEBRATION!! BOTH ARE INSIDE THIS BOX. ONE YOU CAN EAT, AND THE OTHER YOU CAN ALSO EAT, BUT IT'S LESS RECOMMENDED FOR EATING. I HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD HOLIDAY, AND WE CAN TALK AGAIN SOON.

[Oh, what's this? There's a bag sitting outside Olivia's door, its handles tied neatly together. There's a note resting on top of it, and the handwriting is neat and precise as one would imagine a reporter's handwriting to be. It reads:]
Olivia,
I can't say that I am used to receiving gifts, let alone receiving gifts on Christmas, so it was quite a surprise to receive a Christmas gift from you.
The melody is quite sweet. The gift has found a place on my desk to keep me company while I do my work.
Thanks.
-Keats
P.S: By the by, I happened upon the vendor that you were dealing with a little while ago. The fellow was quite eager to get in my good graces to the point where he gave me some of his wares for free. I don't really have any need for them, but I suppose you could use them better than I.
P.P.S: Before I neglect to mention it, I found another vendor you could shop at. The back of this note has an address you could find him. He has better prices, I'd think you'd appreciate it for your future shopping.
[And there is an address, also neatly written, on the back of the note, as well as a couple of written directions as to how to get there.]
[The bag is filled with all kinds of fresh fruit.]

Greetings, Olivia! It is I, Sieglinde Sullivan!

I find myself at a loss.
[Her birthday was before them how did this happen... !! Oh yeah, fire storms. And fail.]

Oh, Sieglinde, don't be silly!
[ okay so maybe it's a little at her expense... ]
There's no such thing as stage-stealing when it comes to birthdays! Everyone's got birthdays — that's just how it is. You're still entitled to your own celebration, regardless or where or when it is.
[ she smiles kindly, encouraging. ]
It's your day, okay? Remember that. Not theirs, not mine, not anyone else's. You can do whatever you want for your day, nothing else matters.

[ the scene heard through the network is likely a strange one — distinct sounds of a waterfall happening somewhere nearby, with a high-pitched squeaking sound of something or other splashing about.
olivia, at least, manages to speak clearly, despite her desperate attempts to bathe an unruly lion cub... ]
Yes — hello! S-Sorry, just a second—
[ some more splashing around, in which she seems to be disengaging from the scene entirely. she hadn't even thought to check the username, actually, and had answered instinctively. ]

Uh. Hey! Olivia! I wanted to let you know, I'm feeling better now! You know. Less like I'm about to die. I told you I'd be fine! [ ...yeah. ] I know you were worrying.
So while I'm here anyway, I was thinking when this mission is over, we could maybe [ . . . ] Hang out??
As friends! --for lessons! It might be fun, and we never get to talk unless something's trying to kill us, so... yeah! Let me know, okay?! Bye!
[ There is more shuffling, and something that sounds like it might be a curse that got cut off, as she realizes that this is not an actual answering machine, and that's now how it works.
Boy, that was awkward. Is she really the right person to be giving confidence lessons...? ]

[ whether or not this device functioned as an answering machine mattered little to olivia, who comes from a time where such a thing doesn't even exist. so undyne is spared any embarrassment on that front, though it'd be inaccurate to say that undyne can do any wrong in olivia's eyes at this point...
when she responds, she will look bright-eyed and delighted, her hands clasped before her chest. ]
Ms. Undyne! It's so good to hear from you — I'm so happy to know you're doing much better!
[ olivia, too, doesn't look on the verge of passing out anymore, which is definitely a bonus. ]
I would love to spend time with you! [ she would not be opposed to having more lessons, of course, but the idea of being able to just hang out as friends with someone she greatly admires is too tempting an opportunity to pass up. ] Is there anything you feel like doing in particular?

So, wherever that is, Olivia will wake up a day or so after the explosion to find a flat, smooth piece of rainbow eucalyptus waiting for her. Carved into the wood is her own silhouette, in the middle of a dance. Arms lifted gracefully above her head, body spinning, hair flowing. The detail is crisp and careful, the lines dug deep into the colorful wood.

Fast-dancing Olivia, it is Achilles who sends this message.
[His voice, by now familiar to her, is warm with his smile: quite plainly it is good news he brings. So too does he expect that she will delight in what he next tells her.]
Just today I received from the sons of Alastair, wishing perhaps to soothe the hatred I harbor for them, the very lyre I've played upon since my youth. I know not what they hoped to accomplish by giving to my me what was already rightfully mine - for since it cannot be seen as a gift, I have no obligations to them in accepting it. Have you time to spend in leisure? I can recall promising a song to you, or am I mistaking this for the substance of my dreams?

[ it takes her a moment to realize what he's saying, not because of anything he has done, but simply because her mind, these days, has not been working at the speed with which she's used to. sleep has been hard, these past few nights; thoughts going at a hundred miles an hour, yet dragging, too, with the weight of worry and anxiety and stress.
she is grateful for his choice in audio for this message; she would not have otherwise had time to make herself look more presentable. though there's not much she would have been able to do with the dark circles around her eyes anyway. ]
Oh, my Lord — I would be honored to hear a song from you!
[ but more than that— ]
I'm so happy to hear you've something from your home... it must be such a comfort to you.

Lady Olivia, I have been working hard to master and become used to the strange text function we have at our command!
As you so kindly advised me on it in the first place, I thought it would be good to show you my progress and perhaps hold a conversation in text alone so I may practice with someone more skilled than I!! (ﾉ^ヮ^)ﾉ*:・ﾟ✧

[Nothing had seemed overly amiss when she'd spoken to first Kida, and then Hellboy - their accents had been different, but she'd attributed it to exhaustion from their Zeta-12 mission - but after she'd attempted to flag down a third recruit, only to be met with absolute bafflement and a few helpless shrugs, it was clear that something was amiss.
Verbal communication is clearly a no-go, but there's still another option left to her...perhaps that might work?
She fires off a quick message, curious as to the extent of the issue currently plaguing Oska.]
Can you understand me?

Names and faces stay-- a little-- but the specifics are all lost, and if that weren't alarming enough, he wakes up the day that everything is well and truly over with someone else's ring in his possession. Quite possibly, someone else's wedding ring.
Making off with cherished mementos has really never been a good luck for him.
After wracking his brain for who this could possibly belong to and flipping through the members of Audentes on the network, he comes across Olivia. He recalls the pink hair, a little. It's worth a shot, if this thing means something to her.
Turning the ring over in his hand once, he snaps a quick photo of it in his palm and sends her a text:]
are you missing a ring?
[well.... maybe this'll require some more explanation, so he sends a second text:] I don't know what happened while I was affected by the temporal changes. Found it in my pocket this morning.
