12:43 am on a certain, messaging app.

L:
You there?

R:
Yooooo here, what’s up?

L:
Nothing much, it’s cold out here tonight.

R:
I’m snuggled up with all of my cinnamon plush. They have taken oath to keep me warm throughout the night.

L:
Is it working?

R:
Mhm. Like being under two lairs of snow.

L:
That’s… horrifying.

R:
Yes, but at least its warm. 🥵

L:
I don’t think that’s the appropriate emoji there…

How many plush you even got in there?

R:
Yes I just noticed. Please ignore that.

>13 if we are counting the official cinnamons. I lost count on the ones I bought off ebay and such. I still have the two cinnamons you gave me you know.

L:
The ones I got you from Jeepers! ??? That’s years ago holy hell. Also people sell those on ebay? I mean that makes sense, now that I think about it.

I’m scared to ask how much those costs. Though if they are unofficial then not much I guess?

R:
Yep. They are still kicking, some of the stitches got undone. But that’s what makes them cool. They are the Obi wans to the rest of the cinnamons.

> Never ask about the cinnamons and 💸 in the same vicinity please.

L:
I thought the cinnamons were girls?

>>Noted

R:
>They are literally, space rabbits dude, I don’t care what gender they are. I make my stories. And these ones are the oldies.

L:
It was first and only time I ever won in a claw machine. Still my greatest feat.

R:
Hell yah, you didn’t even spend that much coin. Pure skill.

L:
I mean it was lots of coin for me at that time XD.

R:
I thinks it’s best if you not know how much it took to procure the other 11 officials.

L:
Touche.

R:
Well, what have you been up to? You’ve been under the radar for so long. I know you’ve been busy and stuff but still.

L:
Ah you know lots of things happened, but I had to sign an NDA so can’t really tell you.

R:
Oh really now. You could at least tell what its about right?

L:
Hmm. Can you though? I think that's the type of question you tell people to spill.

R:
Yah I’ve been learning. Gonna become the Ace Attorney!

L:
When you pass the bar exam I’ll have a party here just for you.

R:
Hopefully, by that time you can come here. We all really miss you, you know.

L:
I miss them too, and you. Well, you especially.

R:
Not enough to contact me in a year though.

L:
After what I did, after what I said, I doubt you wanted to talk to me. I was afraid I woudn’t get a reply. I was terrified.

R:
And that was better than not sending a text at all?

L:
Ignorance is a bliss.

R:
You’re terrible.

L:
Well, you never texted either so, I thought I was right.

R:
I’m terrible too.

L:
Haha, we’re all so terrible.

I spoke with them too today you know after all these years. Almost like nothings changed.

R:
What gave you the courage today?

L:
I was coming home from work and, I noticed the moon today. It’s so full, and it’s so bright. I thought, at least, on a night like this, even some one like me can do the things he’s afraid to do. A tad bit dramatic I know.

R:
If only you had this courage that day.

L:
Courage wasn’t the only thing I was lacking, it was everything else too.

R:
It’s not too late you know, maybe if you I don’t know. Just you know.

L:
If I was that person, I wouldn’t need the moon to give me courage.

R:
Is it windy out there? There is never wind here just cold.

L:
Yah it’s pretty windy.

R:
That’s nice.

L:
Hey you wanna know what the NDA was for? I actually drew the comic novella I was working on. I got to work with Nicole Maridell, he’s the writer. Can you believe it? Finally the work that’s gonna make me mainstream. Don’t leak it though, the ending is still in outlines.

R:
Maybe the wind is too nice, you fell asleep, your dreaming.

L:
Haha, yah even in my dreams it’s just pleasant conversation with you.

R:
¬‿¬

L:
But that can’t be right. Dreams should be more imaginative. I should fly. I want to fly.

R:
Fly up the wall and come here then.

L:
But it’s scary, I always wanted to it. Never got the courage.

R:
Come on. Go ask the moon why it’s so bright today. And thank it for the courage.

L:
You know what that’s exactly what I’m gonna do. I’m gonna fly. Thanks for the courage.

R:
Anytime. Tell me it says afterwards, also don’t get in fight with the birds.

L:
I won’t, see you soon.

R:
Kk.

R:
So how was the flight?

R:
Reached the moon yet?

R:
Guess the connections bad at space huh? Well talk to you tomorrow. XOXO

R:
You know talking to you made me nostalgic and stuff. I wrote a poem for old times sake,

On a November night dreary
I felt cold and weary
The feet were tired
All I wanted was a warm nap really.
Inside,
There was a million candle burning
A million candle burning
For a help that never came,
For a love that I could never claim.
They were singing scriptures
of thine glory,
If it was of thine glory,
then of me it must have been shame.

R:
Gosh it looks so bad too me and it’s only been an hour since I wrote it xd. Still tell me what you think of it. XOXO
