[ Chroma is not an issue, but you know. Eat the rich could be a sexual innuendo in this place. ]
I am full of good plans. Try to stay sane, hmm?
[ Hijikata really seems like he has a level head on his shoulders. Somber is more like it, but that doesn't mean France has no interest in getting to know him. France is extra enough for both of them.
He likes to have a plan and will gladly send a text several days in advance to finalize a few things. Sure, it's the triple moon but it won't be when they meet up. ]
Grand, I'll pop back in here with a link when the time comes!
I'll do what I can. You take care of yourself too.
[That's what he likes to think about himself as well, but he can be... let's say eccentric. France will find out about that sooner or later, probably, especially if they end up going for a meal together. For now Hijikata will prepare for his life in the service of law and order (... not that he didn't already act like a cop the entire time, but you know, it'll be official).]
[A couple of weeks later Hijikata is back in France's inbox.]
Hello France. With the Vulpus Astra celebration in Amegahara coming up I'm afraid I'll be too busy for our outing (I'll be on duty and need to prepare for it). Let's just play this by ear, if that's alright for you. I'll let you know when I'm free at the end of the month after the festivities.
[He anticipates the worst, given what apparently happened at last year's festival, so he wouldn't be able to enjoy an outing right now even if didn't need to strategise countermeasures against potential cultist attacks.]
[(OOC: Work swallowed me up for a while, but I caught up with France's event post, and if it works for you I'd love to throw Hijikata into it so they can finally meet regardless! That'd actually be a great opportunity to make them have a drink.)]
You're very dedicated to your duties on the guard. I can appreciate that, even if it means putting off our outing for a little while longer. You know they say that good things come to those who wait? Please enjoy the festivities as much as you can. I'll look forward to hearing from you.
[ ooc: I more than understand that. I'm trying to come off of a two week dry spell myself. I'd be more than happy to have them around on his post! ]
Thank you for your understanding. You enjoy the festival too! Here's hoping it'll go over without a hitch.
[Of course he has no plans of being anything but vigilant throughout the event, but he's not about to complain. He volunteered to be on festival duty after all.]

a closed prompt or post are both fine!
