excuse their brief back and forth

[resonantblue]

SilenceandSong: How rude, taking over the phone like that. — Silence
SilenceandSong: ??? why ARE you doing the line and name thing?
SilenceandSong: To differentiate between the two of us as we submit messages. — Silence
SilenceandSong: Even though I changed our display name to reflect both of us, we need to make it clear who is typing what. — Silence
SilenceandSong: i think they"d definitely be able to tell hahahahahaha!
SilenceandSong: Do not bother typing "hahahahahaha" if you are not actually laughing. — Silence
SilenceandSong: I was laughing internally!!!!!!
SilenceandSong: You were not doing that either. — Silence

[iamverybadass]

Demonspawn: Wait, are there two of you?

[resonantblue]

SilenceandSong: Who is this? — Silence
SilenceandSong: THERE'S REALLY DEMONS IN HELL??

[iamverybadass]

Demonspawn: This is Talon. I am not literally a demon.

[arealeyeopener]

Shine: Sheep and Intensity and games probably. And a bunch of guests.

[resonantblue]

SilenceandSong: Obviously. — Silence
SilenceandSong: But it does not feel like enough. — Silence
SilenceandSong: Yeah there ar ea LOT more things to consider, I thnk!

[arealeyeopener]

Shine: Uh food and music and decorations? Maybe a karaoke set up?

[rollplayinghouse]

Maki: Sheep and Intensity and games are definitely the obvious things...
Maki: But, how about origami cranes? Like she gave everyone at her sleepover. But with wishes for her this time.

[resonantblue]

SilenceandSong: ! — Silence
SilenceandSong: I remember. I still have that. — Silence
SilenceandSong: That would be an incredible gesture... a "callback" to that time she did that for everyone else. — Silence
SilenceandSong: Oh, this is that paper bird by the bed...
SilenceandSong: Yes, that was from Angel. — Silence
SilenceandSong: Ohhhhhh...!

[rollplayinghouse]

Maki: Yeah.
Maki: And she always only thinks of everyone else, so it would be good to show her that people want things for her, too.

[carnivorouscarnival]

Man☆Eater: the trick is
Man☆Eater: you throw a party but you make it a surprise

[resonantblue]

SilenceandSong: ..................hahaha?
SilenceandSong: No, it is much more complicated than that. — Silence

[carnivorouscarnival]

Man☆Eater: oh so YOU'RE the expert now, huh?

[windheritance]

ZEPHYR: well you do all the party planning as its own thing obviously.
ZEPHYR: usually you'd get someone to hang out with angel all day and keep her distracted while you set up.
ZEPHYR: then, when you're ready, you signal that person! they bring angel back to where the party is while everyone hides.
ZEPHYR: then you all jump out and yell SURPRISE!!!

[resonantblue]

SilenceandSong: A straightforward answer with steps and verbal illustration. This is incredibly useful. — Silence
SilenceandSong: We decide that the role of "distraction" is given to Intensity. — Silence
SilenceandSong: Distraction: CHECK!
SilenceandSong: aside from that do yo uwant to help us??

[windheritance]

ZEPHYR: oh man. of course i want to help!!
ZEPHYR: i just got here but angel is really nice and obviously if you want to throw her a party she should get one.

[Angel is hum hum humming as she's folding a crane, and probably sees Silence/Song TYPING AWAY.]

Ohhh, who are you talking to?

Re: meanwhile in fin

[resonantblue]

[QUICKLY SETS HER PHONE ON THE TABLE FACE DOWN]

—I was talking to, um, a friend.

Re: meanwhile in fin

[nohalation]

[WANTS TO LOOK]

A FRIEND? Did you make new friends?!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

CEO: Just type in different colors or fonts.
CEO: Then you don't have to tag every line.

[resonantblue]

SilenceandSong: Ah. I will examine my options. — Silence
SilenceandSong: !!!! i kindof want to change my text too!
SilenceandSong: No, I have chosen.
SilenceandSong: It will be this font.
SilenceandSong: It resembles handwriting.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[. . .

What has he done?]

CEO: Perfect.

[avestan]
