It's somebody's birthday

[scary_music]

Mun-chan! Mun-chan! You remembered Ibuki's birthday! But isn't it a little late for you? Such a night owl!

Ooh, though, isn't it too bad Ibuki can't celebrate her birthday at the Bastion? That's so sad! Where can Ibuki celebrate it? Oh, I know! She can celebrate it here, right? Right! YAHOO~!

Oooh, you have Thanksgiving on Ibuki's birthday? What's that? Ibuki has no clue! Oh, Ibuki knows!

THANKS for GIVING Ibuki a birthday party! No? No, that's not it? Ooh, turkey! So much turkey! We have a holiday like that! On the 25th of December, we have Kentucky Fried Chicken! ... It's not the same? But turkey tastes like chicken, doesn't it? No?

Ibuki hopes she gets lots of her friends at the Bastion for her birthday! That would make Ibuki so happy! Uwah... but they don't do applications today, do they? Oh well! It can be a delayed birthday present then!

[... for general birthday shenanigans assume party hats, balloons, games, cake, whatevers... and especially a karaoke machine.]

What? What? But it's Ibuki's fault, she claims responsibility! She's the one that brought it up, not mun-chan!

But what to do, what to do ...! Makoto-chan, as Ibuki is the birthday girl, she is delegating responsibility to you! Pick something fun!

[bulletofhope]

Well... since it's your birthday, I was actually gonna suggest a party. You know, with lots of food and a short performance from the birthday girl herself?

[ That's actually a good idea...

Now to look for people who can survive Ibuki's music. :|; ]

[scary_music]

Huh? Huh? Makoto-chan, look around, look! At the bottom of the entry, there's lots of stuff here already!

And Ibuki doesn't have her guitar with her, not this time! But there's karaoke!

[bulletofhope]

Ah, really? I... I didn't notice...

[ Naegi just blushes sheepishly as he looks around. ]

Karaoke sounds like a lot of fun, though!

[scary_music]

Karaoke, then!

Makoto-chan, pick a song! Pick one! If you want, Ibuki will join you for a duet, too!

[bulletofhope]

Okay, okay! Hold on, I wanna see what songs are on this first...

[ Good lord, there's so many of them... ]

[scary_music]

You can always pick random! That's always fun! You never know what comes up!

It might be something in Slovakian!

[bulletofhope]

I suppose so... let's see what we get, then!

[ And Naegi picks random... ]

Wheel of music, turn, turn, turn... tell us the song we'll sing and learn...

[ Naegi, was that really necessary?

... that said, though, it DOES pick a song that would most certainly appeal to Ibuki's sensibilities. ]

[scary_music]

Ooh! It's from one of Ibuki's favorite genres!

Okay, Makoto-chan, get ready! Here we go!

[And, of course, she sings in perfect sync with the song. Good luck keeping up, Naegi]

[bulletofhope]

[ Naegi does his best to keep up. Oh, does he try. But ow how does one do that metal screaming and grunting voice without straining his vocal cords that badly...

During the instrumental part of the song, he has to pause and breathe for a few moments. ]

Wow... how do you even keep up singing in that style, Ibuki-san... my throat hurts a little from that...!

[scary_music]

Ooh, where does Ibuki start with that question?

It's an intense training regiment! Ibuki practices all the time! Running! Headbanging! Hide and go seek! Screaming! So much more!

It's a long and difficult road, Makoto-chan!

[bulletofhope]

I can tell... my throat's not trained for this like yours is...!

[ Oh, wait, talk later! Time to finish off the last part of this song! ]

[scary_music]

[And the song is soon finished out-]

Not bad, Makoto-chan! Not bad! But Makoto-chan's training has only just begun!

Are you ready for the next step, Makoto-chan? Are you?

[bulletofhope]

Uh... depends. What next step is that?

[ Well. Now he's just confused at that because what. What. ]

[scary_music]

HEADBANGING!

Follow Ibuki's lead!

[And... she's whipping her head back and forth in a headbang almost impossibly quick...]

[bulletofhope]

... headbanging?

[ Naegi looks... so confused... oh, you sweet summer child, you... XD; ]

[scary_music]

Makoto-chan, don't just stand there! Headbanging, come on, come on! Do what Ibuki is doing!

[Still headbanging]

[bulletofhope]

Uh... okay?

[ STILL CONFUSED AS EVER but he starts attempting to mimic Ibuki's head motions into the headbanging...

This feels kinda ridiculous, though he doesn't say it out loud... ]

[scary_music]

There you go, there you go!

Isn't it invigorating?!

So relaxing, too!

[bulletofhope]

A little? I think I just gave myself a headache for headbanging a little too much...

... maybe I'll get used to it the more I do it?

[ Naegi... ]

[scary_music]

That's odd, Ibuki's never gotten headaches from headbanging!

It does sound like you need more practice! Okay, let's do it more!

[And she's doing it again...]

[bulletofhope]

Eh... okay...?

[ Well, time to headbang again! Even if he's not entirely sure why they're doing this in the first place... ]

[scary_music]

So, so, how do you feel this time, Makoto-chan?

[bulletofhope]

... a little like I might've scrambled my brain by accident...

[ Naegi plz... ]

[scary_music]

Huh? Huhhhh?

Your brains aren't eggs in a frying pan, Makoto-chan! Don't eat them, that's bad for you!
