Group - Party Apologies and a Check-in

Harveste

Hey Emilia! Should I stick to calling you @Ilya in game even if it's just a PM? I know your name now so it just automatically happened since this is a personal mail. Anyway, I wanted to send my belated happy holiday wishes and apologies for missing the party. I was all set to head out when there was a massive problem with NJ Transit. I thought it'd be better by day two, but sadly that didn't pan out. New Jersey really sucks... I should've found a multiple interstate cab. Those probably exist, right?

Anyway, belated happy holidays! How was the party? Did a lot of fun people come? I wonder if anyone I knew went... I hope I'll see people talking about it in the BBS later.

Oh! I sent you a package like a week ago and wanted to check if it got to you. I know that your place is pretty big, but a big company can get even more notice from package thieves. Unless those are just a NJ/NY thing... But I have my doubts. My mail tends to suck as it is :/ It was just something small for you and a little toy for Choji. If you did get it, though, I hope you guys enjoy it extra~

Hope you're well! If you ever need a vacation from work, don't hesitate to come play again sometime. I hope I'll see you soon in the new year!

Hi Jaluna! Honestly, you can call me whatever you want in PM.. Emilia, Ilya, Emi, etc etc etc.. Happy Holidays! I do not mind that you missed the party, I mean yeah you were missed.. But it is not that big of a deal! We can just have our own little party next time you visit Boston. I figured you might not have made it.. We had a few problems ourselves with our hyperloops.. So it seems everything was down for a week or two. Though again, do not fret over not making it.

The party was quite well. About ten or fifteen people showed up, so it was a close-knit party. Fun people? A few I suppose. I hope they speak of it.. That means I did a good job! I get quite nervous after the fact, rather than before the fact of the parties and things I host.

I did get it! I love the journal you got me! I actually sent you something as well! It does not have as much thought into it.. I actually sent it the day before I got your gift, so it should had arrived yesterday.. or today. I can go ahead and check, to be honest. Choji already has started to play with the cucumber toy you got for him. It suits him so well.

It sounds great! You should come too, anytime you want.

Good to know! I'd go with Emi, but that's what I call my baby cousin so that might seem weird (her name is Emily. I envy her youthfulness xD). I don't think enough people I knew would be there enough for me to be missed- well, maybe. I met a couple of friends by fluke at the mall right before the holidays when I went out shopping in the city. It was really funny, actually- we'd all been on a party for this one biiiig quest, and suddenly we were in person talking in a rest spot near the food court! Though it helped Gwyn looks the same IRL... Wait, that might not be good to just blurt out. That's a secret, kay?

I'm curious about who might've gone now, though. It'd be interesting if my girlfriend went, but that'd just make me even more sad I missed it. Either way, it's good that so many people came! To me that's a lot anyway.... I'm not good with big groups... though I've been worse off before?

I'm so glad you like it- both of you, rather! I wasn't sure how the cucumber toy would get seen because I've seen some research on why cucumbers tend to freak cats out, but... It seemed just so 'Choji'-like when I saw it. And use the journal well! I wasn't sure what to get you, but I figured since you need to be able to take notes and you find writing interesting, you have lots of options for how to use it~ Sorry my drawing isn't so good though. You probably noticed that in the card anyway. Just 'cause I can afford things like cards and whatnot, doesn't mean I'm gonna stop making things I can by hand.

I've always preferred handmade cards. They feel more special. Does that make sense? I guess I'm just super uh... what's that word... Crud. I need my dictionary...

I don't think I got a package- but actually, I did notice a sign on my door and was planning to go tomorrow to the post office- apparently they of course chose the one time I wasn't home by fluke to make a delivery. That might've been something else though. I have a few things on order from online retailers. I still do a lot of my shopping that way, even if I try to go to the store more on my own now.

Visiting sounds like fun! I haven't been to Boston since... I dunno, September maybe? Looking back on it is kind of embarrassing though. But those aren't stories to write out here, hehe. Either way, that reminds me I should really look at my schedule from my editor and publisher. I'll do that before I get to the post office. When I get your package, I'll let you know- but an early thanks feels in order! You're too sweet, Emilia~ Though we already knew that!

Anything fun happening besides the party I missed? You're a busy person, so I hope you're making sure to get lots of fun in too.

Do not worry haha, your secret is safe with me ;) I have never actually met Gwyn yet, perhaps I should try and stumble upon her... What did you choose to eat at the food court? I love the food at food courts.. They have so many choices! You could be feeling like a pizza, and they have pizza! If you feel like a salad? They have those too! Maybe you want a burrito or a sandwich.. ohp! They have those too! What types of food places were in the food court? If you can't remember, its fine.

Who is your girlfriend? Perhaps then I could tell you if she went or not! I kept waiting for you to show up, I was so excited that I had not taken into account that the loops were offline, along with a ton of other company-made transportation systems. Do not worry though, it is fine that you never made it to the party. Just means you are forced to come visit me sometime!

Choji is definitely not the same as all the cats they used to gather information for wikipedia. He is one of a kind. I remember when my old cat was alive, Mitzi.. She HATED cucumbers. They scared her to death. Choji acts more like a fierce lion. He is not really scared of anything. He really likes to eat cucumbers too, even though they are not necessarily good for him, haha. Mitzi was definitely a wikipedia type of cat, yet I still loved her so much. Choji and her got along well.. He took it harder than I did when she died.. But at least we had each other. If anything, it strengthened the bond that Choji and I have. As for the journal, I loved the drawing! So what you cannot draw, you still put in a lot of effort, which makes me really happy. I was actually planning on buying a new journal because the journal I currently have has two open pages, so you got me exactly what I needed and wanted! Plus, you personalized it. All the more merry!

Haha, I get what you mean. I prefer handmade over store bought. I like to make things more personal. I myself am sentimental at times and keep handmade cards, store bought I do not really care much about, so I just toss them out. You are much like me. I make handmade cards because they feel more special.

I do a lot of online shopping too, I like to buy my clothes online. All I do is go to the outlets and try on the clothes till I find the right size. Then I just order everything online. It helps a lot, plus they always have more online coupons than in-store coupons. I prefer everything to be bought via amazon as you save a lot. And it is super fast delivery!

The present is simple enough, I think you will like it (:

I have this fundraiser thing going on in about a weeks time.. You should be my plus one! I can even get this one dress I saw the other day while trying on clothes.. It made me think of you! OH!!!! Instead, I can force my clothes designer to make a dress just like it for you. I kind of have my own clothing line.. It is all more classical and business attire though. I do have a few more weekend style dresses.. Along with types of lingerie. I will send over all the details. Let me just.. One second~ I will be right back!
