it's a party as long as there's still cake!... right? action; video;
And... there.
[ There is a white-frosted cake on the table. Haruka just finishes putting the last candle on it (seventeen of them, if one is counting) and looks pleased. ] I guess I really made it, after all. Mmm hmm, looks good.
[ Again, like last time, it appears she is unaware that she is being recorded. She beams a quiet happiness, which seems very muted compared to her normal bubbling enthusiasm and strong gusto. ] I wonder what she will think?
[ She chuckles to herself, taking a kitchen lighter and starts lighting the candles. ]
Happy Birthday, Chihaya-chan--ahh.
[ Haruka finally makes eye contact to the camera, stopping in her tracks. Instead, she smiles and shakes her head, reaching behind the gear. Haruka sets it upright on the table to face her, and pulls her arms back to her body now with a Spinda in tow. ]
Hi there. Umm... this cake is for a friend. It's her birthday today, and it's like all of a sudden, my body just went into auto-pilot. I woke up this morning and thought "It's her birthday today," and then I'm frosting a cake. [ She forces a laugh and looks embarrassed. ] I guess... it's really silly for me to do all of this, right? I mean, she's back home now, so she couldn't blow out the candles here even if she wanted.
[ She smiles, though it doesn't hide the sadness from her eyes. ]
Oh, Starter Appreciation Day was a few days ago. My starter is this guy here, and I pampered him up for the whole day. I gave him a bath, brushed his teeth, a haircut, brushed his fur, trimmed his claws... I know some pokemon probably would hate that, but he looked real happy. Look, I even wore this too. [ Haruka reaches behind her back and reveals a headband with bear ears on them. She puts them on, giggling as she coddles her Spinda. ] Aren't they super cute?
So, how did you spend your day appreciating your starter pokemon?
[ Spinda nudges Haruka, then points to the lit candles halfway through the wax already. ]
Oh, right. If you're in Goldenrod City and would like a slice of cake, please stop by the Breeding House.
[ Haruka is about to turn off the gear, but looks at the cake for a long moment. Spinda gently smacks Haruka's forehead and leaves his paw there. Haruka flinches and recoils, but understands the gesture. There there, he seemed to say. ]
Nnn. Thank you, Spinda.
...
Happy Birthday, Chihaya-chan. I hope everything's going okay.
[ She blows out the candles. ]
[[ OOC: If you're in Goldenrod, come get some cake. ]]

action;
[ With the bow of her head. ] In honor of your friend, that is.
[ Immediately after a loud rumbling noise can be heard from Saber's general direction. O O P S. ]
action;
What's with you today, Saber? You're so polite!
[ She definitely picks up on this 'vibe' as she would call it, noting how much more handsome Saber was being today, wearing more reserved clothing and minding her manners. And she doesn't think it's weird anyway, calling girls handsome or stuff like that. Makoto is super dashing after all, and that's her big selling point!
Also it should be known that she is confusing Blue Saber with Red Saber... ]
Of course, in honor of my friend.
[ She cuts a slice for Saber. Make no mistake; the cake is large. It can easily serve over 30 rather large slices, but the one Saber got seems to be but a sliver compared to a normal cut! ]
[ She turns around and opens the pantry. ] Would you like for me to make some tea to go with the cake?
action;
That is not necessary.
[ Maybe that piece is for herself, she thinks. Does that mean the rest of the cake is for Saber?
She can only hope.
She can only have hope, man. ]
action;
[ She fetches a glass of water for herself. Then, with a big smile completely void of any maliciousness, she serves Saber the small slice. ]
Here you go!
[ Haruka then proceeds to slice off a normal-sized one. But before she takes a bite, she gives Saber an appraising stare. ]
Usually you dress so flashy, so... Umm, what are you wearing a costume for, Saber? I thought you would wear something more... eye-catching.
action;
I always dress in this manner. [ What is your problem GIRL. ]
action; irl is destroying me. i'm sorry. orz
Yeah except she really... doesn't...
Maybe Red Saber is getting into character? ]
Ah... Al... Alright then! You sure do, I guess. [ It's readily apparent that she's not satisfied with the answer, but she just goes along with it. She takes a bite and immediately is hit with a nice, light cake flavor that isn't too sweet or rich, despite appearances. She closes her eyes and tries to assess and savor her own cooking. ]
Mmm, some lemon zest, next time... Oh, Come to think of it, Saber weren't you interested in a segment in our show? I've talked to my manager, and I think it's okay if you wanted some air time.
[ After several moments she opens her eyes. ]
action; it's okay, i know that feel <3
[ Now she feels a bit of guilt for not remembering expressing interest before. There's a suitable pause as she considers this before she finally gives in with a nod. ]
That would be alright. It would have to do with the Breeding Centre and Foster Home, would it not?
action; what a terrible feel bleh
But spending some time to talk about the Breeding Centre program and the Foster Home isn't a bad idea!
action; it sure is ;; you feel better soon, alright?
[ Didn't she volunteer to do that once? The look in Irisviel's eyes warmed her heart unlike any other when she was finished with her performance so maybe...
Maybe if she can give that same feeling to others... ]
I was not aware I had such roots due to a single play.
