It seems that Neopolitan still isn't managing to master the fine art of caring to be properly sociable. Still, the inbox does work, and she's known to respond fast enough, if she likes someone. So, at least there's that?

(OOC Note: 99% of all replies will come in the form of Text Messages unless Neo has a strong reason to send video messages. She might send pictures, but she prefers text.)

Comments

text; late october (i asked josh about this and he said i should invite neo, blame him!!)

[entreats]

You have been invited for Ruby Rose's birthday party!

The party will be held at the house Ruby lives in over in the Gaze district. [ There's an address included, or just general directions, along with the time the party starts. ] Feel free to dress up or not - you know Ruby won't mind either way. You're also free to bring a present if you want to. If you want to bring one, but you're having trouble thinking of what to get her, you can ask me, I guess.

.. Or Oscar. Actually, ask Oscar.

[ Please don't make her talk to people. ]

Let's do our best to make it fun for Ruby. She's had a really crappy time around this time last year, and I know she would love to be surrounded by her friends.

( ooc: the log for the party can be found over here! )

hahaha she's legit shocked

[threelayers]

So
This is the infamous Ange?

I'll ask Oscar, don't worry.
But it's seriously ok for me to come?
I'll be there, promise.

And I'll behave.

[entreats]

[ Oh god, this is entirely what she was afraid of while sending out invites - meeting new people. Nothing is worse.

Though she can't really blame this particular message for arriving. Ange did look through Ruby's texts to figure out who to invite, after all, and.. well, despite Ange not knowing the details behind everything surrounding these two, it did seem like Ruby was trying to patch things up.

And if Ange knows Ruby well enough, it'd mean she would want this person to be at her party too. ]

I don't think she will mind. And I'm planning on personally kicking out anyone who doesn't behave. [ Growing more into her witch powers has its perks, after all. ]

.. aside from that, I'm not sure how to feel about being thought of as 'infamous'.

Christmas Delivery

[onebadapple]

[Early Christmas morning wrapped up in a towel and nuzzled in a basket with sprigs of evergreen pines and dried orange slices will be a blackberry pie.

Attached is a card with elegant writing:]

Merry Christmas, Neo!
I hope you stay warm and safe!
Love,
Snow White

Re: Christmas Delivery

[threelayers]

[She eventually gets a small pendant with a crystal of darkblood in it, and a letter attached. Mostly because she appreciated the gesture, and what didn't get donated for her stay at the lumenarium she kept for herself and Anna. The basket ends up being re-delivered over to the Lumenarium as she's recovering.]

Hope this helps keep you safe.
Don't quite know how they use these crystals so maybe find an artisan?
Either way, you stay out of trouble for now, ok?

-Neo

[hauntedsavior]

Hey, NP.
Thanks for talking me down. Back to normal now.

I think I turned into the same thing Rose was turning into.
More soul magic.

But if you thought I was hot, imagine how fucking bad I had it for her.

1/2

[threelayers]

Good to hear.
No eye damage, I hope.
The flower was pretty, but...

So, yeah, uh.
I could definitely see what got in under your skin with her physically.
Of course, you don't strike me as the sort who's just in it for looks.
So there's more to it than that.

2/2

[threelayers]

Just, uh, so that we're clear.
I might flirt a little bit, but I think you know I'll be waiting for mine forever, right?
I don't want to give the wrong idea exactly.

And I can admit sometimes waiting gets lonely.

[Though in truth, she was a little used to being lonely. The people she cared about had been gone from her life as often as they'd been part of it, really. Years apart at a time. There were just days that were easier than others.]

[hauntedsavior]

I am definitely not gonna get the wrong idea.
A lot of that was the flower talking.
It wanted...
God. Hey, this is gonna sound fucking gross?
It wanted to breed.

I'm glad it's gone. I don't do that to people who have other people.
I'm no homewrecker and nobody who's challenged me on that has ever won.
No human, no alien sex flower.

hello
please forgive me if i have reached the wrong person i am still not entirely sure how to work these things but i think this is who i was looking for
i am not sure if you remember but you talked to me on my first day here and i really appreciated that
so i was wondering if maybe you would like to come over and have a meal with me
i think it is only proper for me to cook for you at least once to show my appreciation
if coming over is too inconvenient for you i do not mind coming over to where you live instead with a meal

(ooc: i know this is around the same time neo is dealing with the whole winter thing and the.. let's say aftermath of that.. so feel free to have her reply be belated or whatever!)

Early March

[threelayers]

[It took until the beginning of March to get back to this. Neopolitan had come down with a bad case of "not being alive." But, when she did wake up, after a day of being weakened and in terrible shape, she was checking her messages and noticed this one.]

Sorry for the late reply there.
I was a little occupied so I didn't see your message at first.
Everything's fine now, and I think I might know who this is?
But yeah, we can grab something to eat if you want.

[tealeafs]

[ It's definitely a little worrisome that there's no answer at first. But after a few days pass, Chizuru just starts to figure that maybe the other just wanted to say no, but is too polite to do so.. So she's really trying to do her best to forget she ever sent the message in the first place.

Until a message suddenly arrives for her, that is. It flusters Chizuru a little, and even more when she realises she didn't even sign it on her own end, leaving the other to have to figure out who it was-- ]

yes this is chizuru i am so sorry

[ It's hard to tell the fluster is there because of the way Chizuru types, unused to writing messages like this, but. Trust me, it's there. ]

i am very glad to hear that everything is fine though
you deserve to have things be fine for you
and the offer definitely still stands even though it is a little later now
if you have any food you enjoy in particular i could definitely try making that for you

[hauntedsavior]

[on the morning of the sixth, anna leaves a note taped to neo's door.]

NP,

Running up a hill to make a deal with a god. Don't follow me. Back in a week.

-a.a

[threelayers]

That.

May be.

The single scariest thing you've ever said to me.

No dying, got it?

7/12

[hauntedsavior]

Failed step one.

[she doesn't want to be so glib about it. she knows NP better than she knows ruby. her chest still hurts; she's sure now that it's bronchitis. turns out squids can get that. incredible.]

It was a little faster than a week, I guess.
The deal went fine. The fight I made the deal for didn't.
I didn't expect instant death to hurt so much.

[ text | un: keith ]

[tempredmental]

[Trying to check up on Vira-Lorr after her accidental video misfire, Keith ends up having his own misfire go to Neopolitan...]

Hey
Saw the video
You ok?

Re: [ text | un: keith ]

[threelayers]

(OOC: Hah, perfect)

[Blink blink. What?]

Did I accidentally do some sort of embarrassing video?
Wait, hold up a second. Who is this, because I'm pretty damned sure I don't remember this ID.

text; un: shi (misfire!) cw: parental neglect

[tealeafs]

i do not think that is strange at all
maybe it is just what fathers are like

my own father often left me behind in the house by myself for work
and then one day he just never returned even after a week
i was worried something happened to him but it turned out that he just had things he wanted to do more than spend time with me i suppose

even though he said the things he was doing were for my sake
it felt like they were just for himself
i am not sure
i do not want to think harshly of him but it does hurt

so i suppose i kind of understand what you are saying

[threelayers]

You know, we could absolutely swap stories about crappy parents if you want.

But.

I'm pretty sure you meant that for someone else, Chizuru.
Brothers, I think this crap is happening again isn't it?

Gift Delivery - December 25th

[onebadapple]

[Delivered in a basket with a Merry Christmas tag written in beautiful handwriting is a chocolate tart.]

Re: Gift Delivery - December 25th

[threelayers]

[Neo feels a little bad that she doesn't have something, but she's awful at Christmas. Still, she makes sure to pick up a package of christmas cookies at one of the local bakeries and sends them with a thank you card.

It's always good to be grateful!]

Gift Delivery - December 25th

[survivalthroughhate]

[This year, Maul had decided to behave himself when it came to giving gifts, unlike in years past where he broke into people's houses rather like Santa himself did. All gifts are left on the porch or front step of the recipient's home for them to find in the morning.

Neo got two small gifts from Maul. One was a small stuffed ice cream plush in her signature colors. The other was a knife that definitely fit her general aesthetic. Accompanying it was a note in blocky handwriting wishing her a Merry Christmas signed from Darth Maul.]

Re: Gift Delivery - December 25th

[threelayers]

Merry Christmas!

Did you slay the fat man?

Also, the knife is outstanding and I love it.
The plushie's adorable and I love it.
Life needs more pink.

text; un: lookingforshinsengumi (slightly backdated to late february)

[tealeafs]

hello

[ Chizuru sends that single word, but then isn't too sure what else to write for another moment. She writes about ten things that she all ends up deleting - because it all feels.. bad. Not right.

In the end she settles on: ]

i am so sorry
but do you maybe have some time

Re: text; un: lookingforshinsengumi (slightly backdated to late february)

[threelayers]

[... oh. She did not know what this was about, but it wasn't exactly like Chizuru to just up and message her like this. Something was up.]

All the time in the world.
Your place, mine or somewhere else?
