call me out v. 11.0

[misheard]

Call out one of the characters from my muselist with a starter, a prompt, a general 'hey can we do something with these characters' comment, a smoke signal, etc., and I'll get back to you with some kind of RP thread!

[aquaticrush]

Oh! Um -- hello! [She sets the box and ink down on the nearest table and bows.] Happy birthday to you, Nakahara-san. I thought you might be out with your friends later tonight, so I just got you a few things.

[goatsongs]

Oh.

[He's not sure what to do with the fact that she got him presents. More than one present? What the hell.]

Thanks. I got you something, but it's still in my room, I was going to bring it over tomorrow. Shouldn't you be with your friends right now?

[aquaticrush]

It's all right! They actually already had lunch with me. I was surprised to be invited somewhere for my birthday, but to be honest, I'm really happy, too.

[goatsongs]

Why the hell is that a surprise? That's the least people should do for you.

[aquaticrush]

I'm sorry! I just -- well, it's Golden Week, people would be busy with their own things, wouldn't they?

[goatsongs]

Your birthday takes priority.

[Chuuya is a hypocrite, but also he doesn't think he really has friends, so.]

[aquaticrush]

That seems a little selfish, but I'm really glad they did. What about your friends? They're all doing something for you, right?

[goatsongs]

[He's not sure he can say he has friends, he's not sure he wants to, but...]

Somebody baked a cake.

[aquaticrush]

That's kind of them. I'm glad they remembered you, but of course they would!

[goatsongs]

They do that for every writer here, just leaving me out would be more of a pain than baking a cake.

[aquaticrush]

But why would they even think of leaving you out? They've been very kind so far.

[Remember when she had the dokis for one and Chuuya had to go NO.]

[goatsongs]

[don't date grown-ass dead authors, retasu]

You might not have noticed, but I don't exactly get along with more than three of them. Four at most.

[aquaticrush]

[fINE /pout of teenage rebellion]

I'm sorry. Did you have a fight, or is it just -- I suppose that's prying, right?

[goatsongs]

It's not prying when everyone except you knows that I'm an asshole.

[and maybe kenji and niimi but. shhh.]

[aquaticrush]

[wince] I'm sorry. I know you can be a little prickly, but I'm sure things can improve. Is there anything I can do to help?

[goatsongs]

Take your birthday gift without apologizing for anything. That'll help.

[aquaticrush]

I'm s -- okay! [She covers her mouth and bows.] You said you had to go get it, right? I can help you take these to your room.

[goatsongs]

If you want to.

[Maybe she'll stop apologizing if she's allowed to help?]

You know where my room is, yeah?

[aquaticrush]

Um, I think so! Are they marked?

[goatsongs]

Yeah. It's the fourth or the fifth or something like that.

[As long as she can spell his name, she's good.]

[aquaticrush]

Okay!

[Retasu gathers up the gifts and starts walking very carefully and slowly, hoping not to drop anything or trip this time.]

[goatsongs]

[Due to a birthday miracle, she doesn't drop anything. He opens the door for her.]

Just put them down anywhere.

[aquaticrush]

[She sets them on the desk and breathes a huge sigh of relief.]

Oh, um, sorry. Thank you. I hope you like them. You said you had something...?

[goatsongs]

...I wrote you a poem.

[This is really embarrassing.]

You don't have to read it, I got you a normal present too...

[aquaticrush]

[Retasu gives a little gasp and her eyes light up.]

That's really kind of you! It's all right, I'm happy with it no matter what it is, and I'm sure it's really good.
