5th Bel [Voice/Action]

[So! June 11! It's a very special day for Atsuro. Well, it should be, anyway. He doesn't pay much mind to it. But today marks the eighteenth anniversary of his coming out of his Wi-Fi-lacking nerdlinger womb. Of course, he finds the day no different from yesterday, but the thought of him being eighteen is still kinda weird.

But that matters not. What interests him more are the results of some of his findings after examining Hiro's cell phone and comparing its demon-summoning application to the one on his COMP. Seeing as how demons can't actually be summoned here, he couldn't find much, but the few things he did discover were pretty interesting and got him wondering about some ~things~. So sometime around noon he'll throw up a voice entry asking about said things.]

Yo, Luceti! I've got a question for you all. So lots of people here have creatures other than animals in their home worlds, right? I was wondering if any of you could tell me about them, especially if they can be, er... summoned. If not, that's fine too. I'm just kinda curious. Thanks!

[He'll stick around in his apartment in CH7 for a while to respond to any replies he gets, as well as to chill with his roommates as always. After then though, he'll head on over to the Brigade for its meeting, and then, well...

...Anyone in the plaza may find a poor birthday boy in his usual beanie, along with a not-so-usual blue sundress. ...Yep. He's handing out fliers promoting Haruhi's recent announcements as well, so he may or may not interrupt your character from their activities for a brief moment! ...Most likely not though, since wow why is he wearing a dress.

After then, he'll be in the library for a bit as per usual before heading back home. Feel free to stop him during any of his activities, normal or hideous--]

[ After the Brigade meeting, Ryoji hurries off but he stops by the plaza later, only to grin at the sight of Atsuro in the dress. ]

My, you're looking adorable today, Atsuro!

[ He may or may not be joking, but either way he quickly moves on, abruptly holding out a small box wrapped in colored paper. The paper is decorated with drawings Ryoji has done himself. They include a computer and their game of volleyball, as well as just general decorations like hearts, stars and horseshoes, clovers and blue moons. ]

I forgot to bring this with me to the meeting, but I wanted to say Happy Birthday!

[RYOJI NO...]

Oh come on... You too, Ryoji?! [why why why. Sob...

On the bright side, Ryoji moved on from it, so that's good. Atsuro would rather not dwell on this dress thing ugh. He stares at the small box covered in Ryoji's drawings along with pots of gold and rainbows, and the red balloons, clearly a bit surprised. But! Pleasantly surprised. Huh.]

Oh, is this for me? [He doesn't get gifts on his birthday often! Or well, nicely wrapped ones (aside from those from Kouki and possibly Yuzu), since his parents would just ship them and yeah. So he grins.] Well, thanks, Ryoji!

[death_awaits_you]

[ The box contains... cookies! They are sugar cookies that have been decorated just for Atsuro. There is also a bead bracelet, which Ryoji learned how to make from Kairi. Ryoji doesn't seem to realize that usually you don't give jewelry to boys, but ah well. ]

You're welcome! I'm glad I remembered to write your birthday down after that party back in February, otherwise I would have forgotten.

[ctrlaltdemons]

[Atsuro will appreciate it all the same! Though he's not opening the box quite yet, so..]

Oh, wow. I really appreciate it. Mind if I open this up now then?

[death_awaits_you]

Go right ahead! [ He bounces a little on the balls of his feet. ] Do you want me to hold the fliers for you, while you do?

[ctrlaltdemons]

[Oh Ryoji... Atsuro nods, holding out the stack of fliers to him.]

Yeah, do you mind?

[death_awaits_you]

Not at all!

[ And so Ryoji goes ahead and takes said stack. He looks around while Atsuro is opening his box to see if there's anyone he can foist fliers on too!

He's actually very excited about this upcoming pageant. ]

[ctrlaltdemons]

Thanks! [Oh Ryoji you are such a bro for doing that. Even if you are actually.. excited about this for whatever reason.

But yeah, gonna go ahead and open that up as carefully as possible since it does look hand-made.]

Did you draw these pictures yourself, Ryoji?

[death_awaits_you]

[ He just thinks dresses are cute, okay! He doesn't see what the big deal is about boys wearing girls' clothing. Someone needs to explain this to him at some point...

But in any event, he does look back over, smiling and nodding. ] I did! I like decorating things for people.

[ctrlaltdemons]

[It's embarrassing! Just look at Atsuro. His face is covered in embarrassment and awkward right now.

Atsuro grins.] Oh, wow. It looks like you put a lot of work into it. I have to be careful not to ruin it while opening this up, haha. [He chuckles, then opens it up.] Oh! Cookies, huh? [--oh oops there's something else too.] A bracelet, yeah?

[death_awaits_you]

Well, if it rips, I can always draw something else for you, so it's okay!

But yep! Kairi-chan taught me how to make both of those back in February.

[ctrlaltdemons]

I guess that's true. I wouldn't want to make you do that, so. [Being careful it is...!]

But oh, really? It looks pretty nice. [Though it's kinda weird to be getting something like that. Buuut Atsuro won't say that..! He appreciates it all the same. Oh, Ryoji.]

[death_awaits_you]

[ Ryoji beams at Atsuro. ]

I'm glad you like it!

[ctrlaltdemons]

Haha, I do! [And he'd... feel kind of bad if he didn't wear it, despite how somewhat awkward this is, so... gonna go ahead and slip it on, yep.]

So you made it yourself then?

[death_awaits_you]

[ He nods, grinning. ]

Yep! I tried to make it to match your hat, too.
