dear_mun | Time flies when you're busy with work

[waves] Oy! Origami! You should have said something! You think you can just sneak by without some kind of party?!

[Though we can't blame Origami. Kotetsu is NEVER AGAIN allowed to be in charge of planning birthdays!]

[ That is exactly what Ivan had hoped to avoid... He heard what happened! ]

B-But I don't want to be a burden on anyone! It's all right, Mr. Tiger!

[Kotetsu is not so easily dissuaded. If anything, claiming "burden" is the LEAST effective argument Ivan could make!]

Don't be ridiculous! I know the spotlight's not your thing, but your birthday is the ONE day you should get fussed over!

[He slings an arm over Ivan's shoulder. Nice try sneaking away there!]

[ His plan has been foiled! ]

But everyone's so busy, and it's also the holiday season, so...

[ He's still trying to escape what he thinks will be a mess of a birthday party. ]

[Right, like Kotetsu had EVER paid that much attention to schedules. He begins steering his fellow Hero toward the door. Even without the Hundred Power, Ivan's not escaping the lock!]

Don't tell me you have something else planned?

[ Kotetsu is still strong without his Hundred Power, strong enough to move a tiny ninja and prevent his escape. ]

N-no... not really. I was thinking of maybe seeing Edward, but I've already seen him once this week, so I don't know if they'd let me...

[Hiding behind Bunny was a good idea, but he is ignoring both of the idiots so he can finish his ~~hair~~ workout!]

I'm glad you were able to see your friend! Did you get to tell him about your save on Monday? That was a pretty good one, the way you just came out of nowhere and POW!

Ah, no I didn't. It didn't seem like much to me. I mean, Sky High was able to capture four criminals at once the other day!

Psht, who's talking about Sky High? You actually got the MOST points for that bank robbery episode, didn't you notice? They gave you extra for stealth!

[In the corner, Bunny mutters that it's amazing that Kotetsu even KNOWS 'Stealth' is a score - If it were possible, he would earn negative points!]

[Kotetsu ignores this.] Really Ivan, your hard work is showing!

I guess... but it still didn't seem like something I could talk about with Edward.

[ Stealth isn't as flashy, even if it's really the only edge he can get compared to the other heroes. Also it involved a bank robbery. ]

[For someone who likes to bash his way through problems, Kotetsu is actually pretty good at picking up moods. His grip loosens slightly - not enough for Origami to escape, but it's more comforting and less of a headlock.]

Ah, right, maybe not the bank robbery. Well! I guess that means we're just going to have to go out and cook up some really good birthday adventures for you to go back and tell him!

Birthday adventures....?

[ That sound ominous and frightening coming from Kotetsu. He should be afraid, shouldn't he? ]

[Probably. At least Kotetsu hasn't had time to plan, so no stuffed animals are involved... YET... Ivan has stopped outright protesting, so Kotetsu takes that for assent! His grin grows wider.]

Absolutely! You know, if we hang around a minute, maybe we can get some of the others to join up! I know Nathan's still here somewhere!

[ Please don't let them go to Fire Emblem's Fundoshi Club. His eyes dart around looking for some excuse to avoid what he's sure will be an embarrassing event. ]

I'm sure everyone's too busy for me...

[Origami's protests fall on deaf ears. They've reached the elevator by now. As the car descends, Kotetsu checks his phone.]

Damn, he left already... Blue Rose has that concert... Oh well, looks like it's just going to be drinks! What's that sushi place you're always going on about?

Eh? Do you mean the Ashita-ten Sushi Bar?

[ It's a place on the Silver Stage that advertises on some of the large screens around Stern Bild. There are other places, ones that are hole in the wall family owned, but this one is a little more known. ]

[Kotetsu pulls a face, which he quickly tries to cover. That place's rice is terrible!]

I mean, it's your birthday, so we can if you want, but if you know any better ones we should hit those!

[Smooth, Kotetsu.]

[ Now, now, Tiger. Remember Ivan is a naive soul who probably doesn't know what the best Japanese cuisine tastes or looks like beyond photos, manga, and anime. ]

... Is something wrong with it?

[Okay, obviously extreme measures are called for here. Poor kid's from Russia or something, right? Probably they don't even have rice! Obviously this is now a MISSION!]

You trust me, right? [Dangerous grin. Poor Origami, he really IS just teasing the kid. Mostly.]

[ Russian decent, but he used to live a few cities away from Stern Bild, so it's not like he knows fully what it's like to live in Russia. (And he doesn't feel Russian either, but the whole thing is a complicated topic.) ]

Um, yes?

[ Then again, he trusted Mr. Sky High and ended up at Fire Emblem's Fundoshi Club. ]

[Either way, Origami needs to develop his palette! Kotetsu makes a determined fist.]

Good! It's decided! Mission "Find The Best Sushi In Sternbild" is underway!

[And this is why Kotetsu is not in charge of naming episodes.]

Well, I guess I could also use this as a post for my blog...

[ And then unknowingly anger someone and get flamed again. ]

[Kotestu manages to bite back "You have a blog?" just in time. That's definitely not going to be helpful - and he just got Origami convinced!]

Er, right! There you go. Bronze Stage, here we come!

[ Mr. Tiger... you forgot already about that? =( ]

There's a good place on the Bronze Stage? What's it called?

(OOC: Skipped to the restaurant location, hope that's okay! And robbery it is!)

[The pair of heroes are standing in front of a rather run-down looking block of brick buildings. Most of them are shuttered. A few still glow with electricity, but none of them have any obvious signage.

Kotetsu walks right up to a door painted blue.]

Here we go! I can't ever remember the name, but it's great!
