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.]

[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.]

[scary_music]

It's not, it's not?

Maybe Gundam-chan is feeling ill! Let Ibuki check!

[And she's putting a hand on Gundam's forehead...]

Q15 sort of

[sthampede]

[He jerks away reflexively at the touch, but given that she had never fully detached herself (he should be so lucky), it doesn't accomplish much. Mioda—]

Would you kindly desist?!

[scary_music]

What? What? Ibuki's just worried!

[... whether she's teasing Gundam or not is rather unclear... but yes, she is teasing Gundam]

Q16 hi i'm cheating

[sthampede]

You take far too many liberties with my person. Do you not know that I have killed for less?

1/2 lol

[scary_music]

G-Gundam-chan?!?!

2/2

[scary_music]

WHY ARE YOU THREATENING THE BIRTHDAY GIRL?!!?

[sthampede]

[... Oh. Oh. Even under all the layers of SHSL chuunibyou, Gundam can recognize that upsetting the birthday girl is a big mistake, and hurriedly, he, uh, awkwardly pats her head (between the "ears" again, yes, he is absolutely resorting to thinking of her as a distressed animal again) before happening upon the probably more practical location known as her back. (She is still clinging to him, right? Or something? Is that ever going to stop?!)]

I— that was not my intent, Mioda. Don't be upset.

[Awkward patting continues.]

There, there. Shh. It's all right.

[Don't cry, please, he doesn't know how to handle it.]

[scary_music]

Y-you're not just saying that, are you, Gundam-chan?

Ibuki doesn't want to have to make stupid jokes about tubs of ice cream and bad soap operas again, so you better mean it.

Q17 cheating intensifies

[sthampede]

I would not lie about such a thing.

[And he can stop the patting now, right? He's stopping. It's too difficult.]

Do you feel better now?

haha

[scary_music]

A little.

But, Gundam-chan... you really need to stop talking about things like that! Especially around Ibuki! So cruel!

[sthampede]

If that is your will. It is your birthday, after all.

[scary_music]

Good, good. Now, Gundam-chan, you have three questions left!
