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.)

Yeah, I know you're going to worry, Chizuru.
But, I mean, I just have to keep figuring out a way to cope because she isn't here.
That part of this isn't something anyone can just fix out of the blue, is it?
Still, I know you're going to try to help me be happy.

But I do appreciate that you care.
I think it's just been on my mind lately because I passed an anniversary alone.

[What she wasn't mentioning yet was that the thought of moving on had flickered in there, once or twice. She'd slammed it down pretty hard, but it didn't help her mood that she'd thought about these things.]

well
if you want to have an anniversary afterparty where you do not have to be alone
we can have one together
i realise it may be a little strange to do that with someone else
but you could share stories about her
and you could just enjoy a friend's company

that is better than remembering your anniversary as being all alone right

[threelayers]

[Yep, a little strange all things considered, but it was kind of a cute offer. However...]

Why don't we just make a new anniversary to celebrate together?
And I'll remember if this comes around that you're here for that one too.
Something new aand happier.

[tealeafs]

a new anniversary
?

[ It's hard to tell across text, and even moreso with Chizuru's way of writing, but she's definitely surprised by that counteroffer coming from Neopolitan. ]

what kind of anniversary could we celebrate together

[threelayers]

[Shit. she hadn't thought that far ahead. It'd just been a pithy way of putting 'let's make something nice for ourselves' instead of dwelling on her losses. Huh... hmmm...]

Well, an anniversary's starting something.
What's something we've started, or that we could start right now that you'd want to maybe celebrate?
I'm open to any idea of something we could celebrate.

Maybe I just want something nice with you to remember?

[tealeafs]

[ Please. How could Chizuru possibly say no to that when Neopolitan puts it that way? ]

then we can just celebrate our friendship

[ Okay, maybe the answer is a little sappy, and a little cliched.. But Chizuru feels like it works. If Neopolitan wants something nice to remember together, then this is the nicest thing of all, right? ]

the day does not even matter
we can just pick any day
but that day can be a special memory of our friendship

[threelayers]

[Neo breathed a little sigh and nodded to herself. That was pretty much how she expected Chizuru to respond. Was she happy with it? Yeah, as much as she was unaccustomed. She wondered a little more about it before realizing she took a bit to respond and then typing hastily.]

Perfect, I'm down for that.
Why don't we go with New Years as a time to celebrate?
I don't think it means as much here, so it's kind of nice.
We're still celebrating an anniversary in that case.

[tealeafs]

[ ...

Hold on, Neo. Chizuru has to quickly compute something in her head here.. especially since she definitely hasn't been in this place during the last time New Years rolled around, so-- ]

what day is that exactly

[ Especially since she's not sure whether or not that actually lines up with what was considered New Years for her back home.. She's had tons of cultural differences to deal with already, why would this be different!! ]

[threelayers]

Oh! I think it'd be the end of this month actually.
Madame Generosity's month starts the new year, if I remember right.
Would that be ok for you?

[tealeafs]

oh alright
that is fine

[ If they need to pick any random day, they might as well go with that one, right? ]

then we could get together that day
and celebrate
would that make you happy
?

[threelayers]

Yes, I think that would make me happy.
A chance for the two of us to just have some fun together.
No worries.

[tealeafs]

alright
then that is what we shall do
a little celebration just for the two of us

do you have any particular place you want to meet
i do not mind doing it at your place
i could bring over some food
or maybe make us dinner

[ It's not like it'd trouble Chizuru. Not when this girl just.. loves to cook.. So of course that's the first thing she'd think of offering. ]

[threelayers]

If you want to come over to my place, that would be fine.
I'll just need to clean up a little bit before you get here, but we have plenty of time.

[Remove the death traps on the doors and windows. Hide a few of the weapons. Straighten things up, then mess them up just enough so it looked like someone lived there, instead of just crashed there to sleep at nights.

Maybe get a flower. Something hardy. Did they have cacti here?]
