[VERTEX] Rikka: Hey, Sheryl.
[VERTEX] Rikka: I got your letter... it really meant a lot to me. Going through the trouble of writing it on paper, too...
[VERTEX] Rikka: I think I really needed that.
[VERTEX] Rikka: I'm doing a lot better than I was, but I'm not quite out of the woods yet... Still, I'd really like to see you sometime soon.
[VERTEX] Rikka: How are... you doing after everything? And if there's anything you want to ask me...
<Pose Tracker> Sheryl Nome has posed.
[VERTEX] Sheryl: Rikka! I'm so glad to hear from you. I didn't want to push while you were recovering.
[VERTEX] Sheryl: Glad to hear Akane delivered my letter--not that I had any doubt. And... I'm glad it helped you.
[VERTEX] Sheryl: She told me about the two of you being kidnapped by those scumbags at the Vist Foundation and... what they did to you. I'm not going to make you recount that again.
[VERTEX] Sheryl: On which note, I'm doing fine. I just got a scare for a little while; that's nothing. So if you're worried about me, don't be! You know I'm tougher than that.
[VERTEX] Sheryl: Just let me know when you're up to hang out. It'll be a lot easier to schedule now that I'm on hiatus, at least!
<Pose Tracker> Rikka Takarada has posed.
[VERTEX] Rikka: Thanks, I appreciate it. For a while there, it was hard even being around other people...
[VERTEX] Rikka: Yeah. She told me how much you were cheering me on...
[VERTEX] Rikka: ...Yeah. They're awful.
[VERTEX] Rikka: That's good. I was worried I'd really hurt you...
[VERTEX] Rikka: Yeah, hahah. You're incredible...
[VERTEX] Rikka: I could do it this week...? I don't have any other treatment days scheduled for the rest of this week, so I'm free.
[VERTEX] Rikka: It'll do me some good to get out and see more of my friends.
<Pose Tracker> Sheryl Nome has posed.
[VERTEX] Sheryl: You're welcome. If I were in your shoes, I'd want to hurry up and put it all behind me.
[VERTEX] Sheryl: You gave me a big scare, I'll admit, but I made it out just fine. Alto and Grace both wouldn't let me hear the end of it, but that's my own fault for being dumb. I didn't realize I'd get IDed as an enemy just for being in a fighter plane.
[VERTEX] Sheryl: Of course! I'm Sheryl Nome, after all! <3
[VERTEX] Sheryl: Sometime this week works for me. Do you want it to be just you and me, or do you want to make it a girls' night like I suggested in my letter?
<Pose Tracker> Rikka Takarada has posed.
[VERTEX] Rikka: Yeah, I feel the same way... Though I learned the hard way that I can't rush it.
[VERTEX] Rikka: Ah, I'm sorry about that... I hope they weren't too harsh on you. That was
[VERTEX] Rikka: ...I was about to blame myself again, but I don't think that'd help either of us. Sorry.
[VERTEX] Rikka: That's true, you are. How could I forget? That's something to be glad about. <3
[VERTEX] Rikka: A girl's night sounds great. It's been too long... I'm sure Akane and Alouette could probably use one, too. I know this hasn't been easy for them, either.
<Pose Tracker> Sheryl Nome has posed.
[VERTEX] Sheryl: You're right, it wouldn't. So don't be sorry. Be mad! You didn't ASK those creeps to do horrible things to you!
[VERTEX] Sheryl: At least, if it were me, I'd get mad. You can do what you want.
[VERTEX] Sheryl: It sure is~ Let's do that, then! I'll let you reach out to them for the invite so they know you're on board--do you want me to do the planning, or should we just get together somewhere and see what happens?
<Pose Tracker> Rikka Takarada has posed.
[VERTEX] Rikka: I think I'm out of 'mad' for a while...
[VERTEX] Rikka: Thanks, though. I appreciate you saying that. I sure don't mind others being mad on my behalf.
[VERTEX] Rikka: I can do that! And, hm...
[VERTEX] Rikka: Kind of thinking it might be better to go light. Just going somewhere sounds good, though it might not be a bad idea to have some plan in mind, at least a small one. I can leave that to you!
<Pose Tracker> Sheryl Nome has posed.
[VERTEX] Sheryl: Fair enough. You seemed all kinds of upset while we were fighting.
[VERTEX] Sheryl: God, that's so weird to say. Never mind! I'll go ahead and be mad for you, then.
[VERTEX] Sheryl: I don't mind something light. We can get crepes and see a movie or something. I'd suggest Bird Human but I assume you've already been!
[VERTEX] Sheryl: Either way, I'll keep it light and casual. o/`
<Pose Tracker> Rikka Takarada has posed.
[VERTEX] Rikka: Yeah...
[VERTEX] Rikka: But, thanks. <3
[VERTEX] Rikka: That sounds great, I like it.
[VERTEX] Rikka: Really, I can't imagine what gives you that idea... (...Buuut of course you're right, I went to see it immediately once it was released.)
[VERTEX] Rikka: Thanks, I appreciate it! I'm looking forward to it.
<Pose Tracker> Sheryl Nome has posed.
[VERTEX] Sheryl: Wonderful~ <3 I'll get started on that. Talk to you later!
<Pose Tracker> Rikka Takarada has posed.
[VERTEX] Rikka: Great! See you later!
