[[ooc: Backdated to September 19, because I forgot to do this...]]

Two years. [Pen taps.]

It is strange; it does not seem that long a time, looking back at it now.

Comments

[spandexisyouth]

Congratulations, Fred! Maybe it is because sometimes when there is fun time seems to pass more quickly?

[burnt_orangesky]

Thank you, Gai. And perhaps; it is certainly not boring here, though I am not sure 'fun' is the way I would describe it.

[spandexisyouth]

But there is always some fun! We are fun!

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Well, no, of course it doesn't. Half that time you spent being dead.

Glad to see you're still with us, really, Fred.

[burnt_orangesky]

[She'll direct a smouldering glare at the page, and not dignify that with a response.]

You as well, Bell. I do not know what we would do without you here to keep us entertained.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Maybe I should charge for my entertainment services.

[live_ringer]

Has it been that long? Huh.

You know, that practically makes you a veteran member of the citizenry around here. Got any plans for the big two year milestone?

[burnt_orangesky]

Yes, it has. Your arrival date is coming up soon as well, is it not?

Not particularly. Perhaps a quiet meal with friends, nothing more.

[live_ringer]

Yup. It's somewhere around the 24th or 25th, I think.

A very admirable plan. Though, with the sort of friends you've got, achieving 'quiet' might be a touch ambitious.

[awokentospring.livejournal.com]

Two years. That is amazing!

I wonder if I will end up staying as long as you, Fred-san.

,,,baaaaaaaaaaw

[burnt_orangesky]

I suppose it is, in a way. I am glad to still be with my friends, and still alive, so yes. It is amazing.

I believe your father will be happier if that is the case.

I couldn't resist putting something like that in there ;;

[awokentospring.livejournal.com]

Being with friends and being alive are both very good things to be glad about!

I will try to stay, then, for as long as possible. Even if I am possibly needed back home.

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

You're officially an old lady. I'll bring a cake over later.

[burnt_orangesky]

Honestly Castle, I doubt I am a day over 300. That is hardly old.

I look forward to seeing you.

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Puh-leaze. Genius and I are still young whippersnappers compared to you.

[please accept the small misshapen chocolate cake that has been left on the counter with the note of "happy cocoonday"]

Just echoing what Gai said, time passes faster when you've got something to occupy yourself.

Congratulations, though.

[burnt_orangesky]

[She noticed it, and thanked him most pleasantly. She also ate it.]

It certainly seems that way.

Thank you again.

[fourtunate.livejournal.com]

Well of course it doesn't seem that long looking back at it. You're looking back at it, not living through it.

[burnt_orangesky]

How very profound of you.

I am not sure when the dinner will take place, but I will be sure to inform you as soon as I know.

[fourtunate.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Fred. I'll keep my schedule open.

i still dont know what he's giving her so if you have suggestions...

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

YOU! Have to come over right now and pick up your present. I'm not telling you what it is, you have to get over your melancholy mood and get it right now!

He can get her a tea cozy or something, idk.

[burnt_orangesky]

I am not in a melancholy mood, thank you very much.

I will come over later. Or your brother can bring whatever it is when he brings the cake.

I'm thinking he made her an electric kettle that also makes expresso or toast. something weird

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

Sure you aren't.

But it's faster if you come to us! Less effort. We can have dinner and have cake and watch movies and celebrate your non aging in style.

[weaver-girl.livejournal.com]

Happy cocoonday, all the same!

[pentaps.] Say, theoretically, would you maybe like a pair of gloves to go with the scarf? Or a hat? Autumn is on the way, after all.

[burnt_orangesky]

Thank you, Kagerou.

A hat. [Pen taps.] Yes, a hat would be quite nice. But only if you wish to make it; I expect nothing, aside from well-wishes.
