[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]

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.]

[tsundyne]

[She...

just nods. Heh. They'll definitely have to teach him how to have fun again, though at that thought, she can't help but look towards the stairs....]

He sure is taking his sweet time, though, isn't he? I wonder if Akihiko-senpai went up to get him...

[He'd been here just a minute ago.]

[shotarcana]

Well, I can't say I'm surprised at Shinjiro-senpai being late to his own party. But--

[CRASH]

...

[Minako looks quizzically up at the ceiling, which is starting to sound like people are punching the shit out of each other.]

[tsundyne]

...

What the--?

[Yukari looks rightfully surprised, and she glances up as well. She can already tell Minako's heard the same thing.

It was so sudden--]

Wh- what is going on up there?!

[shotarcana]

... Huh, well, unless some Shadows decided to attack the dorm, I think they're probably having some guy moment.

[tsundyne]

Oh.

[Yukari blinks.

That's... a rather short, simple, and elegant explanation.]

...Yeah. Uh, you're probably right. [...Probably.]

[shotarcana]

[...bang, bang, crash, grunting noises...]

...Probably.

[tsundyne]

[Is this like some weird game they try not to freak out before the other one does...?]

M- Maybe we should go check on them.

[-- Okay, Yukari's more curious than anything else, really.]

[shotarcana]

Oh, I dunno, Yukari-chan... maybe we should just let them do their thing.

We wouldn't want to interrupt if it was anything... awkward. [is she really suggesting... she is! ]

[tsundyne]

[She picks up on the suggestion, you perv, you. Even if she absolutely is not going to indulge you by saying it outright.]

It's kind of hard to ignore, though...

[Especially when she's getting bored of waiting.]

[shotarcana]

So that's the kind of thing Yukari-chan wants to see, huh...?
