Belated Birthday Party

[golden_gloves]

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.]

[shotarcana]

Oh, you know senpai, Yukari-chan. [She drops her voice down low.] Tch...! He wakes up when he wants...!

[tsundyne]

[HAHASHDLKJAS oh man.

There's a pretty wide grin on Yukari's face now.]

That was pretty good! ...And you're probably right.

[Pause, as she looks towards the stairs.]

We'd better be patient.

[shotarcana]

Thanks, Yukari-chan!

Yeah, of course. While we're waiting, we can always do other things. Like maybe get started on the cake early...

[looking over quietly longing...]

[tsundyne]

...

[Looking too, but also biting her lip. Didn't she just say they had to be patient?

It'd be pretty rude if they didn't wait for him...]

Are you sure that's a good idea?

[shotarcana]

I mean, it would definitely help me be more patient...

[but. totally subvert the point of being patient...]

[tsundyne]

We should wait.

[Totally firm in this point, but also totally frowning now.

...wistful sigh.]

It does look really good though, doesn't it?

[shotarcana]

... Yeah.


[pauuuuuuuuse...]


W-We gotta think about something else, Yukari-chan.

[tsundyne]

W-Well...um...

[...

Oh wait, she knows!]

Did you get him a present?

[shotarcana]

Oh, um, yeah, I did. It's a watch... Though maybe weedkiller might have been a better idea.

[tsundyne]

[Laughing again. Ow but killing flowers, that would be sad--]

Nah, I'm sure he'll like it...

Mine's probably boring by comparison. [sob she didn't really get a chance to know him that well okay.]

[shotarcana]

What is it?

[tsundyne]

Well, I thought he might like to have a few cook books to work with. I mean, since he's stuck here and all...

[Something useful.]

But it doesn't really feel like it's anything special. [As far as presents go...yeah. Ffff, it wasn't hand made or anything like she's done for others in the past...]

[shotarcana]

Hey, that's a pretty good idea, Yukari-chan. Just make sure he doesn't open that in front of everyone.

Maybe you could include a recipe of your own, too.

[tsundyne]

[Oh right... Shinji still has that whole "I'm shy about cooking" thing, even though they all think his cooking's amazing.

So weird, senpai.]

Ya think so?

[Her own recipe, though, really?]

I-I'm not really a cook, though...

[She's not Fuuka levels of bad or anything but......ffff Koromaru did refuse to eat her cooking once or twice so she can't be all that much better.]

[shotarcana]

[Oh, but she made Minato a cake for Christmas...!]

I'm sure you've got something up your sleeve.

[tsundyne]

Maybe.

[There's a chuckle; she kind of concedes.]

But I already wrapped them anyway.

[Maybe next time.]

[shotarcana]

Well, there's always next time, Yukari-chan!

Do you have anything you were planning to do after the party?

[tsundyne]

[Shaking her head]

Not really! You had something in mind?

[shotarcana]

Well, I was kinda wondering if we could drag-- I mean, take Shinjiro-senpai out to something... Or he wouldn't have to come if he wanted to, but... maybe karaoke?

[tsundyne]

Oh--!

[...Yeah, that sounds like something he'd have to be dragged into. Unless they could convince Akihiko to come too, maybe...]

Well, we could give it a try. Do you think he sings?

[shotarcana]

I'm sure he will have to sing if he comes.

[tsundyne]

[...that tone...]

You're gonna make him?

[shotarcana]

Well... I mean... How would I do something like that?

[....

aka "yes".]

[tsundyne]

...

I'm sure you'd find a way.

[And Yukari will help, too. She's mischievous like that.]

[shotarcana]

I'm sure Yukari-chan would help me find a way.

[just to ensure she knows message received.]
