asking for a friend

Ritsu Kageyama 7/2 near Chata

Welcome to all the unfortunate new users of Retrospec. You should know the unnatural changes of the world also affect loved ones outside the city, who are oblivious as the non-Retrospec users here; you might also experience some physical changes or receive unwanted things in the mail. Usually at the start of the month, given others' accounts. Anyway... If people were being very insistent. (Very.) And refusing to take no for an answer, what type of birthday present would you ask for? P.S. Indecisiveness is unhelpful and not the point of the post, please refrain from posting so unless you have some idea.

People were being veeeery insistent right? Come on
Just let people tell you happy birthday already

[esperimental]

[ He has to bite back the chuuni "I DON'T CARE ABOUT X OR Y OR Z" not now Ritsu. Not on your... July 2nd. ]

Should I take that as a greeting then?

[chargebomb]

Sure
Happy birthday!
What are you turning
40?

[esperimental]

13
Thanks
I guess

[chargebomb]

Wow
You're way too serious to be someone my age

[esperimental]

It's probably the difference in upbringing.

[ Or he could have been born a stick in the mud. ]

[chargebomb]

[ no... this seems accurate. ]

Let's go with that
Having a good 13th?

[esperimental]

Kind of. It's a normal day. Gray skies, no green or blue. If things don't get worse when I step out for groceries I'll consider it fine.

[chargebomb]

Treat yourself to a cake or something! Lighten up
And let people get you presents this is your opportunity to ask for all kinds of things you know

[esperimental]

I guess I don't indulge enough, I'll actually take that suggestion.
Think about funneling actually useful materials from the "all kinds" while I'm out.

[chargebomb]

Do you seriously not have anything you want for a birthday present
Look deep into your heart, man

[esperimental]

That's why I got desperate enough to ask.

Do you have any more suggestions?

[chargebomb]

I'm going to feel bad for you
Everyone has something they want, right?




Ask for a pet

[ everyone loves pets!! ]

[esperimental]

Sounds like too much work.

[ this hurts his animal-loving writer's soul ]

[chargebomb]

You can have a marimo
Or a hissing cockroach
Or a pet rock

[esperimental]

The only partway acceptable answer among that list is the first one.

A marimo wouldn't be bad. Except it might not have color yet, I should check.

[ Don't judge a lil moss ball by its lack of green Ritsu. 8( ]

[chargebomb]

Aw don't hold that against it or anything!
A marimo by any other color would still be just as marimo-y

[esperimental]

If I can't tell when it's not feeling good it could get dangerous.

[chargebomb]

It's not easy to kill one of those things right?
Just make sure to change the water and everything

[esperimental]

Fair point. Maybe I'll consider it for next year, I got some good input on getting a fancy pen to write with.

[chargebomb]

Really
Your idea of a good birthday gift is
A fancy pen

[ RITSU...... ]

[esperimental]

It'll last longer than food.

[ Maybe not marimos, but. ]

[chargebomb]

It's okay to be a little greedier than that, just saying

[esperimental]

I never really want anything, so it's easier to go generic.

[chargebomb]

You don't want anything?
Aaaanything?
Games, merch, brand name clothes??

[ this guy is unreal... ]
