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.]

Exactly, best to keep as healthy as possible so you can sing for many more birthdays to come!

[scary_music]

That's right! Not just Ibuki's birthdays, but all the other birthdays, too!

[windgod]

I'll be looking forward to that then, it sounds like a great birthday present!

[scary_music]

It will be! It will! Ibuki will dedicate a song to each birthday!

[windgod]

Do you have any ideas in mind already?

[Curiosity strikes!]

[scary_music]

Ibuki always has ideas! But she can't spoil, nope! It's a birthday surprise!

[windgod]

But what about...other people's birthdays? I promise I won't tell! Arm...chomp promise?

[Can you resist the arm chomp promises? Can anyone?]

[scary_music]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

............

...

Sorry, Ippo-chan! It's artistic integrity! This is one thing that Ibuki can't divulge, even to you! Not even for arm chomps! Please accept Ibuki's sincere apologies!

[windgod]

That's fine, don't worry about it. Arm chomp for good measure anyways?

[It was the least he could do after offering one up after all.]

1/2

[scary_music]

Let's call it a happy birthday arm chomp! Thank you~

[scary_music]

[chomp]

[windgod]

[He smiled and gave Ibuki a few pats on the head between the horns, being careful not to mess those up.]

Well...it's one gift of a few, actually. Hopefully it's still enjoyable.

[scary_music]

Of course! Arm chomps: Always so refreshing!

[windgod]

[Where did he get the box he pulled from behind his back? Who knows! Mun magic. Exactly. He'll hand it to Ibuki all the same, even if it was kind of small.]

Here, I had Raile-san's help in making this for you...so I hope you like it!

[scary_music]

A present! For Ibuki!

Ibuki's happy enough that you're here, but she won't turn away presents! Thank you!

[She accepts the box]

What's in it? Ibuki wonders...!

[She slowly cracks it open]

[windgod]

[Inside the box was a ring. A simple circular band with no stones or jewels set in anywhere, but it was stone-like in it's texture. It was white and black in color, the two intertwining around one another to make an intricate braid design that looped all the way around.]

It's a promise ring! You know...just so you know I was serious about not going anywhere. Now you have proof, right?

[scary_music]

A promise ring! It's a surprise! Ippo-chaaaaaaaaan! Uwah!

But... but Ippo-chan, it's a dear mun, Ibuki won't have it at the Bastion!!!

[windgod]

Well...yeah that's true...but I can remember to get you one there too!

[He's got his bases covered, mostly because I have my bases covered and that's the beauty of a mun/muse relationship sometimes. Other times you lose hands. It's a give and take kinda thing.]

[scary_music]

That's true, that's true. Very well! But Ibuki will still treasure this one, too, no matter what!

[windgod]

I'm really glad you like it! I thought and thought and thought about what to get you...truth being told I was kind of nervous you wouldn't like it.

[scary_music]

Ooh, are you kidding, Ippo-chan? It looks cool! Great! Awesome! The best!

[windgod]

That's great news!

[Who's got his arms wide open? Who wants a hug? Free Ippo hugs get 'em while they're hot!]

[scary_music]

[Whups, she misread the gesture. Chompchomp]

[windgod]

[...you know what? It was essentially the same thing, right? At any rate, he was able to pull Ibuki into a hug of his own here so it all worked out, right?]

I'm still working out the last gift, being honest...it's not really my field of expertise, at least not compared to you.

[scary_music]

More gifts? More? Ooh!

But no rush, no rush! Ibuki's happy enough with you and everybody else here!
