<br>***SIGN***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I put in blue colored  contacts and even  used white mascara  on my eyelashes...
<br>**[12:41] Chihaya**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and the script you wrote that I actually<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;memorized were made useless in one second!<br>***SIGN***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No, that actually went great.
<br>***SIGN***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If Porky had done it, they would've known instantly.
<br>***SIGN***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You were the one least likely to dress  as Santa, which is why it worked.
<br>**[12:53] Chihaya**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I actually memorized all of Santa's lines!<br>***SIGN***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Y'know, since you have such sharp hearing,  your pronunciation sounded almost native!
<br>**[13:00] Chihaya**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You don't feel disappointed at all?!<br>**[13:02] Chihaya**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You wrote out the entire scene,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;right up to the tearful goodbye!<br>***SIGN***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Heisei literary master...
<br>***SIGN***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Uh, yeah, I guess...
<br>***SIGN***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But...
<br>***SIGN***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;They were really happy.
<br>***SIGN***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And Tsukuba's little brothers are  basically our little brothers.
<br>***SIGN***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Anyway, you look scary, so could you lose the makeup now?
<br>**[13:21] Chihaya**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh... Yeah.<br>***SIGN***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She even stuffed her nostrils?!
<br>***SIGN***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ayase, you know...
<br>***SIGN***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At Christmas last year, we all had  our own class parties, right?
<br>***SIGN***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That was fun too,
<br>***SIGN***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;but since I didn't have many friends,  I realize even more now...
<br>***SIGN***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;that for me,
<br>***SIGN***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;spending it with everyone is like a dream.
