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.]

don't tempt me

[sthampede]

[A male human at this party (unless she had been intentionally misleading him with the party remark). He glances around at the other guests, then—]

A high school student?

Don't tempt me to tempt you

[scary_music]

Yes, that's right! Hope's Peak Academy!

[Ibuki that was a little more information than you should have thrown out...]

FORGIVE ME FORGIVE ME FORGIVE ME

[sthampede]

A student in our class?

Mikan-chaaaaaaaaaaaan

[scary_music]

Nope, nope! A different class!

i feel unclean. also still need more icons, goddammit

[sthampede]

[A different class?

Gundam blinks and takes another look around at the other partygoers. Who—]

That one?

[Pointing at Makoto.]

*throws icons at*

[scary_music]

Nope, nope! Gundam-chan is wrong! Completely wrong!

[sthampede]

[Wrong? But... who else at the party is male and high-school-aged? Unless—]

This fiend of whom you speak— he is present at this party, correct?

[Had that been wrong?]

[scary_music]

Yes, yes, he's definitely at the party! He's here, he's very present!

[sthampede]

[Definitely present at this party. Perhaps in hiding? He would enlist the aid of his Four Dark Devas of Destruction to unearth the brigand, but he refuses to resort to underhanded methods. Had his opponent been someone other than Ibuki, he may have reconsidered the stance, but...

He gives the others another piercing stare. Why will they not reveal to him their secrets? Or...]

A Super High School Level Ninja?

[scary_music]

Nope, nope! That's wrong!

Definitely not a ninja! Very un-ninja like!

[sthampede]

[Okay now he's just. Confused.]

He cannot be a mage or warlock. There are none whose powers exceed mine in casting illusions or spells of invisibility.

[scary_music]

No magic, none at all! Not even a little bit!

Ooh, wait, you didn't ask a question! Sneaky, Gundam-chan! So sneaky!

[sthampede]

[No magic? Not a ninja? Then how—]

Then he is disguised through mundane means?

[He's using his questions now! however many he has left l-lol what is counting]

[scary_music]

Ooh! A good question!

It's true, it's true! A mundane disguise! Gundam-chan draws closer to the truth!

Q10 because yeah I really was not paying attention

[sthampede]

Is he disguised as an object?

haha neither was I

[scary_music]

Bzzt! Nope! He's not! He doesn't look like an object at all!

Q11 i am so tempted to have him just not get it

[sthampede]

Then he is disguised as...

[Gundam resumes staring at the other guests]

... an adult?

Poor Gundam

[scary_music]

That's wrong! His age is as true as you can see it!

Q12

[sthampede]

Then... as one of our classmates?

[scary_music]

Oooh, so incorrect, Gundam-chan! Very wrong!

Q13 damn he caught on

[sthampede]

[... Then...]

As her?

[Nodding, not pointing this time, just a bit weakly at Patchouli.]

Bad guess though XD;

[scary_music]

Ooh, Gundam-chan, that's wrong, so very wrong... how cruel. Patchy-chan would be heartbroken if she heard you say that!!

[Ibuki no, Patchouli wouldn't give a crap]

Q14 DRAGGING THIS OUT AS LONG AS I CAAAAAAAAN

[sthampede]

[Regardless of whether or not the lady in question would care, Gundam is turning a very interesting shade of red right about now. Is Ibuki really going to make him keep guessing?]

Then...

[He clears his throat a little, then nods toward Celes.]

That one, perhaps?

[scary_music]

Nooooooooooooooope. Celes-chan is a true, bonafide gothic lolita!

... Gundam-chan, Gundam-chan, your face is taking on interesting colors!

[sthampede]

[Does it really need to be said that drawing attention to his blush only makes it worse? Hastily, he adjusts his scarf.]

It is not.

[At least her hearing is good enough that she can hear the mumble. Probably.]
