Belated Birthday Party

Style: Your choice?
Status: Open; start your own thread if you'd like!

[Akihiko was not going to let a giant black bowling ball prevent him from celebrating Shinjiro's birthday. Even if it did mean celebrating it later than originally planned. Organzing a party wasn't too hard; most of SEES seemed excited about the idea and willing to help out. There was a cake and presents, and even a few surprises (that Akihiko hoped would keep that way until the right time).]

I don't think he's gone out today. There weren't any flower petals on the floor when I had breakfast this morning. We'll surprise him when he comes down.

[Akihiko was weirded out by Shinjiro's strange new 'power' at first, but he figured it wasn't too bad. After all, it helped during the battle. He didn't expect it would linger, though. At least they'd know where he'd been.]

[Sup guys.

He's just inspecting everything to make sure it's all set up and ready, and he might've baked one of those cakes but psh minor details.]

At least the dorms smell nice now.

[All the time. Flowers everywhere, even after they sweep them up.]

[shotarcana]

At least? You don't enjoy it otherwise, huh?

[messianic]

[...well. He shrugs a little.]

It doesn't bother me, though it is a little odd even for this place to throw flowers everywhere.

[shotarcana]

Noted... Onii-chan doesn't have a proper appreciation of when people give him flowers.

[messianic]

[...oh that's underhanded.]

It's usually better when I give them flowers, instead of the other way around.

Do you like flowers, imouto?

[shotarcana]

Of course! Who doesn't? Besides certain stinky boys who aren't to be named.

[messianic]

[. . .]

I smell like roses.

[shotarcana]

Well, it's a good thing I didn't name you, then, huh?

[golden_gloves]

Hope nobody's allergic to flowers here.

[Akihiko eyes the cakes as well. There are so many of them, and nicely decorated. He's not really a fan of sweets, but he'll try a little.]

[messianic]

Oh...that's a good point, senpai. I don't remember anyone having problems with flowers before...?

[Though he could be wrong, he's not entirely sure.]

[golden_gloves]

That's true. Well, I don't know about that one girl. Have you seen her before?

[He's talking about Amane. She's a new face to him.]

[messianic]

Amane-san? She's...from an alternate Japan to ours.

...She fights demons.

[Yeah she's a fellow SMT character]

[tsundyne]

They do, don't they?

[The clean up is kind of a drag, but Yukari has to admit, it adds life to the dorm in a way she hadn't expected.]

I'm almost jealous of him.

[Almost. She wants magic flowers too to appear wherever she walks too, dammit!]

[messianic]

[...He is not at all surprised that Yukari enjoys the flower power, now that he thinks about it.]

It's a good thing we don't mind flowers here.

[Or in Yukari's case, enjoy them out and out.]

Maybe we can gather them up and use them for something...

[tsundyne]

[She's kind of already a step ahead of him in that regard; at least in gathering them. She hasn't really done anything with them just yet though, other than use them to expand her collection...

Hmm.]

We could. Though I think we'd run out of vases before long--

If we tried to put 'em on display, I mean.

[She laughs a bit. They'll just have to figure out something else.]

[messianic]

[...well that's true, but--]

There must be something we can do with them...It seems like a shame to just let them all die.

[tsundyne]

[...Hmm. She thinks about it for a moment in silence as the time passes, before something finally comes to her.

...]

Maybe... a garden would work?

[After a certain point, since the flowers are literally everywhere, there might not be enough room, but it might at least be a good place to start.]

[messianic]

[...oh cute.]

That's a good idea, Yukari-chan. In front of the dorm would be perfect.

[tsundyne]

Mmhmm!

[That's what she'd been thinking, too.]

Maybe I'll use Serph's as an example. He planted one in front of his base.

[Yukari helped. : |b]

[needsmoregreen]

But it looks pretty right?

Besides, flowers make people happy! [Unless they're not allergic to them]

[messianic]

[...oh god you are too cute, Bianca.]

I can't deny that. They are very nice to look at.

Do they really make people that happy?

[needsmoregreen]

They are really nice to look at so...isn't that enough to make them happy?

[messianic]

[You are a simple soul, too, but he appreciates it.]

I suppose so. It's the little things that make life so fun, anyway.

[needsmoregreen]

Exactly!

If you don't, then it would be difficult to enjoy it!
