[Here it comes--]

HAAAAAAAAPPPPYY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUUU, HAAAAAPPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY PRECIOUS SISTER, IT'S YOUR SPECIAL DAY~ HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUUU! AND MANY MOOOOOOORE~

I hope you're having a spectacular, restful day filled with yummy things and fun things, Chiaki-chan! Because you of all people deserve a special atmosphere for your special day. I'm really glad we met, did you know that? I'm positive everyone you've encountered can share that sentiment. What would we do without your natural inquisitiveness, your sweetness, your kindness and your genuine love of life? I can't even imagine what we'd do without you. I don't want to, because we're yours and you're ours. Our rad gamer girl.

Anyway, I'll shut up in a sec, promise. I know I still owe you a party, I haven't forgotten! It's gonna be big and exciting and coming soon! In the next couple of weeks, okay? I love you, baby sis! Have a stellar birthday. Thank you for being you.

text; later that day

[virtualgirl]

[So unsure of how to or even if she should respond to this! But it really makes her happy that Rahzel remembered. She hasn't told a lot of people about her birthday yet...

Also she needed some cheering up after how she woke up that morning. So she feels she should express appreciation for that, at least.]

Thank you for the message, Rahzel-neechan. It really helped cheer me up... I think.

text; later that day

[witchplz]

you're very welcome, chiaki-chan~ its my job to bring good cheer to my sis, a job i actually love!

[The fact that the cheering up was needed in the first place troubles Rahzel, naturally, so she adds:]

you only think so??? we cant have that indecision! hmm...we might have to do more about that, then, before the day's out, what do you say?

text;

[virtualgirl]

Can we? I'd like that a lot...

[This text is roughly the Chiaki Nanami equivalent of pleading with Rahzel to come keep her company or distract her from what happened...]

text;

[witchplz]

we absolutely can, we must! its our destiny~
do you want me to come over or do you wanna come over to mine? i have lots of snacks and we can watch a couple of fun chick flicks or action movies if thats more your thing ;)

[Roger. Read loud and clear. Rahzel-neechan to the rescue!]

text;

[virtualgirl]

I can come over, if that's okay.

[It sounds like it'd be less trouble that way. She'd just have to grab her backpack and walk over.]

It'll only take me a few minutes.

text;

[witchplz]

okay?? thats more than okay, thats RAD! come on over, i'll be here waiting for you <3

[Whatever makes her feel comfortable is good with Rahzel]

text / action;

[virtualgirl]

Okay.

[Sure enough, in a few minutes, a Chiaki appears at Rahzel's door, giving a soft but firm knock. And she'll wait patiently for Rahzel to answer. Even though she's technically already been invited? She's a very polite girl...]

action~

[witchplz]

[She's a good girl!

Who doesn't have to wait very long because Rahzel had been waiting at the window, rapt at attention for her arrival.

Her expression is open and inviting as she opens the door, ushering Chiaki inside with a gentle hand at her elbow]

Hey, you're right on time. Come on in~

action

[virtualgirl]

[Chiaki unconsciously lets herself drift closer to Rahzel as the other girl leads her inside. She really wants to be close to her... after what happened.]

Thanks for letting me come over. ... It's lonely in my room...

[Oh, dear. She hasn't referred to it as "her" room ever since Mary moved in.]

action

[witchplz]

[Rahzel's heart immediately goes out to her, honing in on that word lonely and her tone. She continues to lead her over to the couch where she still gently tugs her into a seat, plopping down next to her before finally opening her mouth:]

No problem at all. Really. I'm sorry you were feeling lonely, but you're here now and I won't let you be alone, okay?

[Rahzel offers her a reassuring smile, pats her arm]

action

[virtualgirl]

[She does give a small smile, and seem a little more hopeful at that.]

Thanks.

[Suddenly, she snuggles in next to Rahzel and leans her head on the other girl's shoulder. She just needs to be close to her sister for a moment...]

... I'm glad you're still here, Rahzel-neechan.

action

[witchplz]

[She takes the sudden snuggles in stride, even wrapping an arm around Chiaki, then leans her cheek on the top of her head. The smile is a good sign, and if her little sister needs cuddles then Rahzel is happy to give them, give her this comfort she needs

Her statement makes her pause, though not for very long.] Me too, Chiaki-chan. I'm happy to be here too. I'm happy you're here.

action

[virtualgirl]

[She gives a small sigh, staying snuggled up to Rahzel as much as she possibly can.]

... Thank you.

......

I'll miss having a sister living with me, I think... even though Rahzel-neechan and Kobato-neechan are still here.

[And there's the reason she needed cheering up.]

action

[witchplz]

Of course. That's what sisters are here for.

[Rahzel makes a sympathetic noise, runs the palm of one hand up and down Chiaki's shoulder comfortingly]

I'm sorry, Chiaki. I know it just isn't the same, being in such close quarters and sharing like that it's...it's kind of special. But it'll be alright. It really will be.

action

[virtualgirl]

I know...

[It sounds kind of hollow as agreements go, but she's survived losing close friends before. It probably will be alright, even though she'll be sad for a while.]

... Will you come visit sometimes? I'll ask Mama if it's okay...

[She knows she can always see Rahzel during the day if she visits the high school, or at work. But maybe her room won't feel so empty all the time if Rahzel comes over and visits once in a while?]

action

[witchplz]

[Her heart all but lurches and clenches, the combination of Chiaki's tone and words Super Effective. Though she knows she can't just fix this, knows what it's like losing someone, it doesn't help the flair of protective feelings. She cards her fingers through Chiaki's hair soothingly, her voice soft]

Of course I'll come visit. A whole wild herd of mamas couldn't keep me away. I'll come see you whenever you want me to, all you have to do is call. I might even pop up out of the blue.

['I won't leave you alone.']

action

[virtualgirl]

[Maybe she can't fix it, as much as either of them might wish she could. But she can definitely help, if only by being there for Chiaki like she always is.]

... Okay. ... Thank you...

[From the tone in her voice, and the way she's snuggling up to Rahzel even more, she's starting to seem sleepy. And sure enough, almost as soon as the words are out, she's dozing off. Either she really needed the rest, or, well... Chiaki could fall asleep at any time, really. It's entirely possible she'll wake up in the next five minutes. But that might depend on what Rahzel does with her suddenly napping baby sis, too.]

action

[witchplz]

Chia- [Her fingers stop threading through her hair when the girl trails off, a puzzled look morphing into a fond smile when its apparent Chiaki's been struck by the Sand Man.

Rahzel decides her little sister needs her rest, further deciding not to move. She'll just keep watch, try not to focus on how warm and comfortable she is, try not to nod off...Rahzel does have enough sense to soundlessly tug a blanket over Chiaki, careful not to disturb her. She deserves this rest, afterall.]
