Good Morning Miss Himawari,

I'd like to extend an invitation to a little get-together for a late lunch party on Sunday, February 12^th at our home on the outskirts of Sector 4. It's at [address], which is close to Browning Stop on the Port's transit route. It will be a casual affair, but in case the party runs later than sirens we will be able to provide either an escort home, or accommodations for the night. Please let me know if you will be able to make it.

Yours,
Sephiroth

[At the end of the message is a more personally written note, in which Sephiroth expresses a more sincere hope that she can make it on the given date.]

[ooc: because of the Groundhog's Day happenings, the network will continue to send this message at the same time every day over the next few days, until the core snaps itself out of its shenanigans. However, because of my work schedule over the coming few days I can't be here to re-send it as consistently as Core shenanigans would dictate. Please consider this message in repetition as the event dictates, and feel free to shape your response(s) as you desire. Party details/log/whatever are still being worked out, but will be communicated as soon as they're done!]

That sounds lovely! Thank you for the invitation, General. I would love to come. Is there anything I can bring or help with?

[Text | Thursday, February 2nd | 10:18 am

[soldierfirst]

I look forward to seeing you. You don't have to bring anything save yourself, and a change of clothes if you'd like to stay over.

[Text | Thursday, February 2nd | 10:20 am

[controllingluck]

If you're sure, then I'll do just that. I look forward to it!

[Text | Thursday, February 2nd | 10:23 am

[soldierfirst]

I look forward to seeing you as well.

It seems like it's been a while since we've talked face to face, doesn't it? [even if it hasn't been a while, she's been so busy that it seems like it]

[Text | Thursday, February 2nd | 10:27 am

[soldierfirst]

Too long. We've both been busy. Did I tell you we found a kitten?

[Text | Thursday, February 2nd | 10:28 am

[controllingluck]

A kitten! Really? When? You have failed me in this information, General.

[Text | Thursday, February 2nd | 10:32 am

[soldierfirst]

Going to strip me of my rank?

Not too long ago, outside the house. It was injured; Angeal helped me tend it. I wasn't sure if we were going to keep it or not.

[Text | Thursday, February 2nd | 10:36 am

[controllingluck]

What would that make you? Commander? Captain? Ensign? Private? Grunt? ... Oh that last one isn't really a rank anywhere is it?

But you did, didn't you? Does it have a name yet? Please don't say you named it 'Cat'...

[Text | Thursday, February 2nd | 10:39 am

[soldierfirst]

There's always "Personal Bodyguard" if you want to give me a rank.

We debated, but decided to, yes. I'm supposed to name it, but the only thing I've come up with so far is Soldier, and I'm not sure that fits.

[Text | Thursday, February 2nd | ...10:56... am

[controllingluck]

Personal Bodyguard is too long a rank title...

It took me a very long time to name Oran. Sometimes you have to wait and see what is fitting.

[Text | Thursday, February 2nd | 10:59 am

[soldierfirst]

Pity. I would have taken the position if you had the opening.

Angeal advised as much, as well. I've never had a pet; this is all new to me.

[now with proper Date...]

So... I went to class this morning and it was the wrong class. I watched a bird run into a window in the same place as one did the day before, and I saw a pyromancer try to out run law enforcement... again. Now I recived this note again?

Are you having as strange a day as I am or am I losing it?

Text | Friday, February 3rd | 10:15 am

[soldierfirst]

[I saw nothing <3 ]

It's not just you; my morning is starting out equally as strange. It's like everything I did yesterday just up and disappeared.

Text | Friday, February 3rd | 10:17 am

[controllingluck]

I was beginning to wonder. So it's not just me? I feel like I dreamed up yesterday and lived it this morning.

Text | Friday, February 3rd | 10:17 am

[soldierfirst]

Not just you at all. I keep checking my PHS and today should be the 3rd. But even the news says the date is the 2nd.

Text | Friday, February 3rd | 10:20 am

[controllingluck]

The news. The school. Everything keeps saying it is the second. But I was very sure it was the second yesterday. Groundhogs day and all.

Text | Friday, February 3rd | 10:22 am

[soldierfirst]

I am quite sure that we *did* pass an entire day already, just given that my own dreams have never been of the imitation of my day sort.

Text | Friday, February 3rd | 10:27 am

[controllingluck]

Is that even possible though? Repeating a day? I mean I know the port does some weird things... but this?

Text | Friday, February 3rd | 10:33 am

[soldierfirst]

*I* didn't think so, but...

I sincerely doubt we're crazy, but I cannot think of another rational explanation.

Text | Friday, February 3rd | 10:37 am

[controllingluck]

I've been here long enough now to feel crazy. Maybe we all just snapped at the same time.

Or it's the Core. Everything is blamed on the Core.

Text | Friday, February 3rd | 10:42 am

[soldierfirst]

Mass hallucination, perhaps?

I hate that we reach to the Core for an easy explanation, but I don't think we can discount it, in this case.

Text | Friday, February 3rd | 10:45 am

[controllingluck]

We'll wake up tomorrow and suddenly it will be two days ahead of now, then we'll really wonder what was going on.

It's an easy thing to blame is all. And half the time it is to blame.

...I shouldn't find this amusing but I do.

I laughed.
