For Destiny Strings

[ex_helpinghands352]

Hey, uh. Not that I mind helping with the monsters, but... I kinda promised President Kougami that I'd help out his company on that dig in Europe. You know. For the project?

He sent me three birthday cakes last year, so I kinda don't want to leave him hanging. Or he's definitely going to send me ten more this year.

So that means you're being threatened with cake?

[ex_helpinghands352]

You don't know how terrifying it is, okay?

I heard he made this one guy eat cake until he passed out. And they had to take him to the hospital and pump his stomach.

[jkjk]

Hardcore. Mind telling me what he looks like so I can steer clear?

[Sucks to be you I guess but I do not desire to be a sacrifice for the Cake Revolution. Whaddya say, buddy? Pal? New best friend?]

[ex_helpinghands352]

Well... he's a middle-aged guy, I guess? And he wears a lot of one-color suits.

But I really don't think you can miss him. He really likes singing Happy Birthday and yelling stuff. Like "WONDERFUL!" or "GREEED!"

I mean, it's not that he's a bad guy. ...I think.

[Yay friends! Friends that aren't going to punch Eiji in the stomach!]

[jkjk]

So he's one of those guys, huh. Heh.

Just— I don't think you can call someone like that "not a bad guy"...

[ex_helpinghands352]

Okay, so he does kinda resurrect ancient threats to humanity a lot. But it's only because he's really interested in greed!

And he saved my bacon a bunch of times. Although come to think of it, he does take a 60% cut off the top of everything I make...

[jkjk]

That's the definition of a bad guy!

And... Have you considered he might be using you...? [Noooot that I'd know anything about that.]

[ex_helpinghands352]

Yeah, I guess. But without him, I wouldn't have been able to save anyone.

Besides, he's helping me out right now. And he really isn't so bad once you get to know him. [Actually, Ankh victimized Eiji much more often. So.]

So what're you doing out here, anyway?

[jkjk]

If you say so, buddy. [aside] I mean... Some people just have saving people complexes.

Oh, me? My mun's just a jerk.

[ex_helpinghands352]

Oh. Well, that sucks. I'm getting shipped to Shikoku by the end of the month.

But it could be worse! At least I'll know someone there.

[jkjk]

Well, good luck! I've heard horror stories about these games things.

[laughingpressurepoint]

Sorry, but doesn't it seem a little excessive to send any one person multiple birthday cakes?

[ex_helpinghands352]

Tell that to the President!

[laughingpressurepoint]

It's not like I've ever met him.

[ex_helpinghands352]

...If I give you the address, can you tell him for me?

[laughingpressurepoint]

Don't you think it would mean more if it came from you? I mean, I'd like to help, but nothing will change if you rely on outside help every time something comes up.

[ex_helpinghands352]

[But MooooOOOooom]

Maybe I'll just... eat the cake...

[laughingpressurepoint]

[don't you but mom me, young man]

There's always sharing.

[ex_helpinghands352]

We're, uh, at the point where no one else wants the cake, either.

[laughingpressurepoint]

That's a lot of cake...

[ex_helpinghands352]

Ugh, tell me about it. Wait, you don't like sweets?

[laughingpressurepoint]

I like them! I like cake too. But it takes an awful lot for everyone to get that sick of it, so that's pretty impressive. I wonder what would have happened if we'd crossed over for real.

[minetodecide]

H-How many times do you celebrate your birthday every year?

[ex_helpinghands352]

It's not just birthdays! It's for anniversaries, and first meetings, and that one time he decided we were going to make a Kamen Rider movie...

[minetodecide]

[Kamen Ri-?!]

Excuse me?
