[lightthedarkness]

This thing is finally working properly, right? Aw well, let's give this a try. [She clears her throat and smiles brightly at the Omni]

Helloooooo~ Good afternoon, Trench!

Do you know what day is coming up on Monday? No? It's gonna be Makoto Kino's birthdaaaaayyy!!! [Here Usagi holds up a pink rose covered picture frame with Makoto and Usagi inside of it.]

This cutie right here.

But yes! The amazing, the talented, the gorgeous, the fabulous, one of the best cooks in the whole wide world... Especially, THIS world and one hell of a gardener MAKOTO KINO'S birthday is coming up!

Per her request, we're noooot gonna have a party. [Is Usagi pouting? Yes. But she perks back up immediately.] BUT! She said yes to a lunch at a restaurant. So I've rented out a part of one of her favorite restaurants. I'll be taking care of the tab for everything except alcohol, that's on you to buy. [How you ask? Well, that's Usagi's secret.]

So, if you know the lovely, beautiful, talented, badass Makoto Kino, or WANT to get to know her, come on Monday around 12:30 to about 15:00 Cellar Door's beautiful Pink Rose Café!

If you need help with gift ideas, feel free to ask!

Anyone who causes trouble during her birthday will be dealing with me personally.

KAY, SEE LOTS OF YOU MONDAY! BYYYYEEEEEE!!!!!

[Ariadne's smiling as she replies, her eyes glistening like silver coins in a fountain.]

She's very lucky to have a friend like you, Usagi.

[lightthedarkness]

Eh? Why? [Usagi is too focused on Makoto to get it.]

[demonicbeauty]

Someone to celebrate her!

Not everyone has that!

[lightthedarkness]

Well she's one of my best friends in the whole wide universe! [Plus, they've started dating.]

I would always want to celebrate my friends! I would celebrate her more if I could but she's modest. [Usagi is the extrovert's extrovert.]

I'd celebrate you too if I knew your birthday!

[thunderingcourage]

I am, Usagi is amazing with how thoughtful she is.

[demonicbeauty]

[Ariadne laughs.]

She really is.

I guess that's what makes her good with her work!

[thunderingcourage]

It does, though sometimes it can get her in over her head too. Or she forgets about herself.

[ .. oh, gosh. See, with Usagi wording it like there's no party, but she did say yes to lunch.. There's no way Chizuru can just come. If Makoto doesn't want a party, s-surely she doesn't want a lot of people around? It would be more polite to not come then..!

Chizuru frets for a few moments, but then decides to send a message. ]

Um.. Sorry, Usagi-san. But I think I could use a little help with gift ideas...

[ Especially since usually Chizuru would just cook something, but Makoto is way capable of doing that herself, so that idea goes right out of the window. ]

Do you know something she'd like to get..? [ Maybe Chizuru can just drop it off at the other's house, even if she doesn't go to the lunch? ]

[lightthedarkness]

[She also said if you would LIKE to meet her, Chizuru.]

Sure, Chizu-chan! [Yep, she's been nicknamed.]

You can always get Mako-chan like, oven mitts or aprons, baking utensils, she goes through that stuff aalll the time... sometimes cause I accidentally break them. [A nervous laugh as she scratches the back of her head.]

Oh! Or anything to do with the garden, spades, OH OH OH, you could decorate a flower pot for her, that'd be super sweet!

[tealeafs]

[ NICKNAMED ALREADY...

It's a good thing that Chizuru definitely isn't the type to protest it, even though she's a little flustered to be nicknamed so quickly! Not even necessarily in a bad way, just.. f-flustered in general! ]

Amazing, that's so many ideas..

[ .. and maybe Chizuru is also a little easily impressed. Sssh. She seems so genuinely impressed too! ]

Decorating a flower pot though, hm.. I guess you'd do that with paint, right? I've never tried something like that before.

[lightthedarkness]

I'm very good at coming up with gifts for my friends and loved ones!

Yep! Do you need help getting the right paint?

[thunderingcourage]

It's just lunch, you don't have to worry about a present or anything. Thinks are really hard to find right now.

[tealeafs]

But it's your birthday though..! That's such a special day!

[ At least, Chizuru sure considers other people's birthdays to be special - hence why she can't help but say that. ]

A day like that must be properly honoured with presents, you know..?

[thunderingcourage]

Having so many friends around, and getting to have lunch with all of you is enough of a gift for me.

[melodyofsilence]

They'll have to deal with me too, if they cause trouble!

[ But of course she'll be there with bells on for Makoto's birthday. ]

Are we going to have a Christmas party? Or will it just be a small gathering?

[lightthedarkness]

They absolutely will, we'll be scary together.

Ah... well... maybe just a small Christmas gathering. Supplies will get scarce near the end of the month if this is anything like last year.

And freezing. Whiiiich reminds me, I have something for you, might not be the right fit though.

[melodyofsilence]

We'll put our best fierce faces on when someone looks like they're going to start something.

[ Hotaru nods at that. ] A small gathering will be just as fun. Maybe when things get a little easier, we could start planning for a bigger Christmas next year?

[ A curious blink at that. ] Something for me? I can take a break in my studying to get it.

[ She is in her room, quietly going over books about all kinds of plants and their properties. ]

[lightthedarkness]

A big Christmas party with all our loved ones sounds wonderful. [She smiles, it does sound wonderful.]

Though, we have to plan for your birthday coming up right after Christmas. Although uh... where are we at in age?

[It would be a weird question to everyone NOT a senshi.]

I do, yeah. It's something that really helped back in Deerington and helps here. I think it would do you some good to have it.

[survivalthroughhate]

Do you suppose she'd appreciate another drawing?

[He feels the need to show some appreciation given how long he hid out at their house last month.]

Video; UN: Cuddlebunny

[lightthedarkness]

Well, I don't see why not! If it's something given with kindness, then that's what matters!

[survivalthroughhate]

I'm not a naturally kind person.

[Maul says with a hint of his usual grumpy contrariness.]

[lightthedarkness]

Maul... [Usagi smiles when she hears that contrariness, and Maul should recognize her smile for the warning (threat) that it is.]

Maulrus, my sweet sweet sweet sith, do you really, truly want to test me about your behavior at Makoto's birthday lunch right now?

[faceblocks]

I'd bring cookies, but there's no one in Trench that makes better cookies, so I'm all out of ideas.

[besides. some restaurants get weird about bringing outside food in. and any place makoto likes probably also has great desserts.]

Can I spring for the drinks?

[lightthedarkness]

Well, okay YES, Makoto's cookies are bomb, but it's not like she doesn't appreciate people cooking for her! She lets me cook for her all the time and I'm an awful cook! I can only do rice and noodles and little things.

If you'd like! I just know there's uuuh.... some liquor enthusiasts among our friends.

[faceblocks]

Liquor enthusiasts, huh? Well, okay, it's a done deal.
