This is my first new year's day, now that I think about it. People make resolutions around this time of year, right? What are yours?

It sounds like a good idea.

Text

[technologic]

Okay.

... And if you need any help with that too, I'll do my best to help.

Text

[alephbet]

I'll remember that. I don't mind opening up to you.

Text

[technologic]

[Cue an even longer pause.]

Thank you, Aleph. And it's the same back to you too.

Text

[alephbet]

[what is going on behind the curtain]

I'm glad to hear it.

Text

[technologic]

[A lot of confusion, because what is kinda admitting that you trust someone.]

Though that means I'll probably be more likely to tell you stupid drunk stories, so I apologize in advance for that. [And of course she has to lighten the mood a bit now.]

Text

[alephbet]

I have a few of those myself... If you want to hear them.

Text

[technologic]

Sure, we can trade stories!

Text

[alephbet]

It sounds like fun.

Text

[technologic]

Awesome! I used to do this back home, and it was always a good laugh.

Text

[alephbet]

Maybe that's what I should ask the network now.

Text

[technologic]

You mean like ask them about their drunk or funny stories?

Text

[alephbet]

It's an idea for the next time I want to talk to them.

Text

[technologic]

Sounds like a good idea. It's nice to have something not serious to talk about every so often on here.

Text

[alephbet]

I hope this month is a lot better than the last few.

Text

[technologic]

Well, it shouldn't be Jason or Ruana this time. That means it should be a tiny bit better.

And hey, the heating is back on at least, so that's good.

Text

[alephbet]

It's a good start. I'd be happy with a quiet, uneventful month.

Text

[technologic]

Especially since it's your birthday later this month. If we're lucky, we can celebrate it without anything going on.

Text

[alephbet]

I don't really know how to celebrate my own birthday...

Text

[technologic]

Well, there's gonna be cake and a present of some kind. And probably alcohol too.

... But the point of birthdays is to have fun, I think. So you do whatever you want.

Text

[alephbet]

I don't think it has to be a big deal...

[He's not going to do much is he.]

Text

[technologic]

You deserve a day to celebrate yourself, so it is kinda a big deal.

[Just watch as she loudly announces his bday on the day before over the network.]

Text

[alephbet]

I guess so.

[:O!!!]

Text

[technologic]

Well, either way, you are getting a cake, at least. Probably not the carrot cake from the cafeteria, though.

Text

[alephbet]

I'm not a big carrot cake fan.
