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.]

Ooh, Gundam-chan! Sorry! Wrong again!

One more! One more! Make it count, Gundam-chan!

damn he figured it out

[sthampede]

[Last one already?! He very nearly blurts something to that effect, but he catches himself just in time. If not any of those then...

... What, really? Her? Uh... him?

Hesitantly, he gestures toward Chihiro.]

Is... that him?

[scary_music]

You did it, Gundam-chan! You did it! You won the game! Congratulations!

That was so intense, right down to the wire, failure was looming when... BWAH! Supreme Overlord of Ice-chan is suddenly the winner!

no ibuki stop being cute my heart can't handle it

[sthampede]

[Except that Chihiro was literally the last person Gundam could choose? But he'll bask in the praise anyway, throwing in some maniacal laughter for good measure just because.]

Of course, there was never any doubt. None who hold my power could ever be fooled for long!

[Disregarding entirely the fact that it had taken his very last question for him to guess it? Right. Or something.]

[scary_music]

Uwah... so powerful, Gundam-chan!

For Gundam-chan's reward, what should it be...! Ah! Gundam-chan can have some cake!

[She starts pulling him towards where the cake is]

[sthampede]

[He hadn't been expecting a reward, much less cake, but after his last attempt to repel her enthusiasm, he keeps silent, allowing himself to be dragged along without comment. Cake, hm? He supposes he can handle it.]

What flavor?

[scary_music]

It's chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry!

So many flavors! It's almost as colorful as Ibuki's hair!

[sthampede]

Ah... I see.

[Still so very uncomfortable, but he'll glance over the cake politely.]

You have no favorite flavor, then?

I spy new icons!

[scary_music]

It's so hard to choose! Ibuki's not particular! Chocolate is always good, but there's something special about vanilla! And strawberries are delicious, too!

Ibuki would have had more in it if it was possible, but that would have been too much! Too crazy! An explosion of flavors!

i caved and got a paid account but now i can't find that one place i wanted to steal icons from

[sthampede]

Your restraint is commendable.

[And there's a word he hadn't thought he would use in relation to Ibuki. Since when is she restrained?]

Would you like me to cut you a slice?

Uwah I know them feels, having seen something and then thinking later I SHOULD ICON THAT-WHERE IS IT

[scary_music]

Ooh, are you sure? Are you? Ibuki on a sugar rush could be dangerous! Can Gundam-chan handle Ibuki's sudden surge of energy?

PRETTY MUCH god if only i had TALENT for photoshop

[sthampede]

It is your birthday, is it not?

[But he is definitely bracing himself. BE GENTLE...]

l-lol... all I do with photoshop is just crop and resize XD;

[scary_music]

That's true, that's true!

Gundam-chan! You have the honor of cutting Ibuki's first slice of cake!

[sthampede]

[Her first slice? Way to put the pressure on. Gundam doesn't let it affect him, though, at least not visibly, and attempts to peel her away just long enough that he can fetch her an appropriately-sized slice. No really is she still doing that clinging thing or is he free now?]

I hope this will suffice.

[scary_music]

Yes! It's good! Perfect size, Gundam-chan!

Ooh, but wait, Gundam-chan is the winner! Here, here-

[She stabs a piece of cake and holds it up towards Gundam's mouth-]

It's your reward for winning the game!

[Ibuki what are you doing-]

many apologies if i'm reading this wrong

[sthampede]

[She. No. What? He half opens his mouth to protest, which is probably Ibuki's cue to... but she wouldn't, right?

... Right!?]

No you got it right XD

[scary_music]

[Sorry Gundam, you gave her an opening. That cake is going into Gundam's mouth.]

Nyom~! Is it good? Is it, Gundam-chan?

OH GOOD didn't want to be presumptuous

[sthampede]

[There's a muffled sort of mmrph as the forkful of cake goes in, and (predictably) Gundam goes bright red yet again as he chews it unwillingly. This is... people don't normally do this, do they? But Ibuki is, well, Ibuki, so surely it isn't anything more than that.]

I...

[Sorry, no, he can't quite form words yet. Try again later.]

You could be a good Mikan, too! XD

[scary_music]

Gundam-chan? Gundam-chan? Are you okay? Was it bad? It wasn't bad, was it? Or is it indescribably good? Ibuki's confused!

... shut up

[sthampede]

[Asking questions when he has a face full of cake is surely the most dastardly of deeds, somehow. Too bad her reaction to his earlier accusations is keeping him from proclaiming as much.]

It was not... bad.

:p I better get to bed, I've been bad about getting decent sleep this weekend. Night!

[scary_music]

That's better than bad, at least!

Did Gundam-chan enjoy it? Does he want another bite?

[Before Gundam can reply... she's already got another forkful of cake heading for his mouth]

same. i blame you. also, icon rehaul complete because reasons

[sthampede]

Mioda.

[And yes, he said that through gritted teeth while opening his mouth as little as possible.]

Desist.

[He'd say more, but he wants a guarantee that she won't be stuffing his face again first.]

scary reasons! Also, no work phone posts because new carrier has crappy 'net coverage at work...

[scary_music]

Ooh, Gundam-chan is being scary again...

RENAME KEYWORDS IS SO BROKEN i give up

[sthampede]

As the victor, the method of feasting ought to be within my discretion. Moreover, we are celebrating the day of your manifestation upon this mortal plane. Should the first slice not go to you?

*patpatpat*

[scary_music]

Ooh, too late, Gundam-chan! See, see, you already took the first bite! You should have said something earlier! Whoops!
