I DID IT! I FINISHED MY OPERETTA!

Machi. I've been wondering where you've been keeping yourself and what you've been doing. Congratulations.

Christmas was a couple days ago. I have something for you the next time I see you.

[machi_tobaye]

I... sorry. I lose track of the time.

I have something for you too! I was good, I do all of my shopping some time ago...

[notapreacher]

It's easy to lose track of time around music.

Are you doing okay?

[machi_tobaye]

I doing okay. I just have to put this music away for a week, shut it in a drawer and then see if is suitable.

You?

[notapreacher]

Doing great. I'm so glad that whole zombie thing is over. You have no idea.

Guess what, though? I have a dog of my own. He's beautiful. Can I bring him over to meet you sometime?

[machi_tobaye]

A doggie? What kind?

I would love to meet him!

[notapreacher]

He's a Shiba Inu. Little, but he thinks he's big. His name is Bu, and right now... his tail is wagging a mile a minute. He thinks he gets to go out right now.

[machi_tobaye]

Cute cute cute!

Is he fluffy?

[notapreacher]

Actually, he's pretty sleek. But a little fluffy too.

He's really good around cats, too. When do you want to meet him?

[machi_tobaye]

Hm. Tomorrow evening, you are probably busy, I guessing? Then New Years Day is alright?

[notapreacher]

I promised Shin I'd play some music for him in the afternoon -- around 2 -- but how about after that?

[machi_tobaye]

Okay, I think that will be fine.

[notapreacher]

All right! Bu and I will see you then.

[machi_tobaye]

I look forward to it!
