i have only heard people talk about it in this place we do not have any holiday called christmas where i come from though it has been hard to fully gather what it seems to be about i think someone was talking about making cookies? should i make cookies?
if u want its not a japanese thing. they do it other places but i think japan knows about it? its based on a religion but everyone does it. you give ppl presents u like and u have a big dinner on the 25 thats when u open the gifts u can put up decorations if you want. most ppl like it for the festive spirit. fun
lol relax chizu u dont have to do anything. or everything scorpio seems the type to love decorations. u should ask her to get involved if u really want to go all out i can give u some. tory made a lot oh yeah and ur gifts can be anything. food or even a card do u do cards in japan? when u write a message and theres a pic on it
you do not understand now i know it exists of course i have to do it people will have expectations
[ .. not that Chizuru knows how many people here actually celebrate Christmas, or know about it.. but in her experience, she's often one of the few people who doesn't know about something, so she's pretty sure the entire town knows about Christmas, and she's the only one belatedly catching up now. ]
i mean what if scorpia really wanted to do christmas things but she could not do it since i did not know about it and never brought it up what if i let her down already i have so much catching up to do i do not even know what a pic is
[ Robby, this is ENTIRELY too much!! Please slow down so this girl can breathe. ]
[ Wow, Robby had no idea Chizuru could get this flustered. He must try and fix this!! ]
scorpia wouldnt keep that from u. she would wanna celebrate with u ur her friend christmas is just some holiday some ppl know its not for everyone. ur ok chizu i promise i will tell u everything itll be fun just remember to breathe for me and pic = picture
maybe i am breathing a little bit too much in fact
[ .. there is in fact a pause after that message, like Chizuru seriously had to just.. put her Omni down for a moment and breathe a little more slowly, especially when Robby is pointing it out without even seeing her. That's how obvious it must have been, huh. ]
i am sorry i just do not want to get it wrong for example you are a very important friend to me robby so i would like to express the appropriate care and gratitude to you on a special holiday like that
[ Which is typed out in that time that Chizuru takes to breathe. Good Chizuru. He does wait however, once her next lots of text come in. ]
ok. when i said everyone does it i was exaggerating. its popular where im from and in a few countries but everyone treats it different. were not even in america. but i know u like to treat ppl which is why i wanted to share it it should be fun tho. we can talk to scorpia about it. its about having a fun time thats what i want for u. u appreciate me all the time already anyway
we can appreciate each other and our friennds this way
[ Does she appreciate Robby all the time? Sure, in her thoughts, but Chizuru feels like she could express it a little more, or a little better!! She will give herself some constructive criticism on this matter!
But rather than putting that into words, she instead types and sends: ]
but what if i want to appreciate you more !!!!!!!!!!!!!
[ At least this is mostly her being playful, rather than panicky like a moment ago..
Even if she definitely means what she's saying here. ]
[ He's laughing on his side, unseen, and as short as it is. Of course she's saying yes. Wasn't that the purpose? To make her happy (and to get some pie).
Sometime though, he's got to ask who got her into the exclamation lines. Ehhh, not that big of a deal. ]
sure. ill be counting on u be sure to leave a slice for u n scorpia i want u 2 to enjoy some too
