You have been invited for Ruby Rose's birthday party!

The party will be held at the house Ruby lives in over in the Gaze district. [ There's an address included, or just general directions, along with the time the party starts. ] Feel free to dress up or not - you know Ruby won't mind either way. You're also free to bring a present if you want to. If you want to bring one, but you're having trouble thinking of what to get her, you can ask me, I guess.

.. Or Oscar. Actually, ask Oscar.

[ Please don't make her talk to people. ]

Let's do our best to make it fun for Ruby. She's had a really crappy time around this time last year, and I know she would love to be surrounded by her friends.

( ooc: the log for the party can be found over here! )

[thunderingcourage]

Sushi-kun! The lights along the boardwalk are so pretty.

[Makoto seems to be in a very cheerful mood. She's smiling as she watches the fairy lights sparkle.]

They have really tasty hot cocoa and cinnamon rolls too! Though it's not as good as when you bring it to me in bed.

[undermoonlight]

Makoto-chan!

[Always happy to drop what he's doing for a call with Makoto, Atsushi picks up right away. He's surrounded by books, having been looking for any indication that November will be dangerous. Paranoid studying that falls wayside when she mentions 'tasty' food.]

Eh? Are you able to eat normally again, Makoto-chan? [Relieved for the moment! He hasn't caught on fully yet.]

[thunderingcourage]

I think so. I mean the cinnamon rolls were really good, I had three or four of them. And the hot cocoa was really sweet.

Just like you.

[It was pretty clear that she wasn't feeling ill, though she does almost fall over a moment as she tries to sit on one of the railings.]

Will you keep me warm too?

[undermoonlight]

[His cheeks pick up colour when she compliments him. If not for the fact that he's been so worried about Makoto and food lately, Atsushi might have let shyness take over.

Instead, he notices her near fall and then recalls the number of cinnamon rolls.]

Four?! Ma-Makoto-chan, uh--

[Books can wait! He pushes the pile to the side and scribbles a note to leave by them.] You're at the boardwalk, right? Stay there uh I'll...

[He doesn't want to guilt her anything, so decides to play along.] I'll come bring you my coat!

[thunderingcourage]

I was just going to have a bite, but it was so warm and sweet I just couldn't help myself.

[She'd had spoiled food and poison the rest of the month, this had the first sweet thing she'd had in weeks. But she seems happy and content to wait for him there.]

I am, just next to the beach. We could share my coat, then it'd be really warm.

[undermoonlight]

[He wouldn't be able to blame her for that. Atsushi understands the luxury of food and knows how miserable it is to see something tasty but not be able to eat it. Makoto must have been suffering this month. If she wants to eat nice things, then he can at least make sure that she's safe while she does it.

Even if he's very worried right now.]

I'll be right over! So don't go far, okay? [He's already running out of the archive with his thin coat draped over his shoulder. There was no time to put it on.] You aren't eating anything else, are you?

[thunderingcourage]

I'll wait right here for you. It's perfect with all the lights, and the sound of the waves.

[Though walking was a bit hard at the moment.]

Hmm, oh no. They still had plenty but I'm kind of full. Oh but do you want me to get one for you? I could that way it's ready when you get here.

[undermoonlight]

Nope, that's fine! Stay right where you are! I'd rather have you!

[He needs to stop blurting it out like that, but it's true. Atsushi would rather have Makoto safe and settled than have her stumble around to find him a snack.

Using the teleportation points is useful. Atsushi is able to reach the boardwalk a lot fast than even he expected. He even ignores his manners and jumps over the railing, so that he can get to the beach faster.]

I think I see you!

[thunderingcourage]

[Makoto would never grow tired of hearing that. She swoons a little and lets out a small laugh almost falling over.]

Sushi-kun already has me. You can have anything you want with me.

[While Makoto's height wasn't too strange compared to many of the other dreamers, she did still stand out a little. Especially since she was sitting on the railing. Hearing him say that he could see her she straightened up a little a began looking around.]

[undermoonlight]

[She's easy to spot, but not necessarily because she's tall. Rather, it's because she is the only one that Atsushi is interested in finding right now. Once she's in sight he slows his run, smiling when the relief sinks in.]

You look to be in good spirits. [He'd worried that she might be in trouble, since he's heard that the food effects can be pretty miserable. Atsushi stands next to her and the railing, trying to catch his breath.]

Thank goodness... I worried too much, huh?

[thunderingcourage]

I am, I feel great. Even better now that Sushi-kun is here.

[And in a move that she had seen Usagi do far too many times, Makoto simply leaned forward and fell from the railing with her arms stretched out to tackle him with a hug. A move she halfway meant to do, despite the difficulty in balancing at the moment.]

Ah I didn't mean to worry you. Let me make it up to you!

Christmas Delivery

[lightthedarkness]

[Wrapped up in a bright red and white box is a plate of bought snowflake cookies and a full suit that she knows will fit him.

Attached is a note with a little rabbit doodle:]

Happy Holidays!
Love,
Usagi

[lightthedarkness]

Hey, Sushi-kun, are you busy right now?

[undermoonlight]

Usagi-chan..?

[Ah, perfect timing! He'd been planning to call her as well.]

No, not at all. Can I help you?

[lightthedarkness]

Um, well, I don't know if... like, well I mean you probably have, but there are these things, bonds. I was hoping to talk to you about them?

[undermoonlight]

[Wait. How does she know what he wants to talk about? Are they already bonded?

He nods to the camera.]

Yeah, same here... um. Do you want to talk over the network or..? [Should they do this in person?

Awkwardly, he does add;] I bought most of the stuff already...

[lightthedarkness]

We should talk about it in person. Where-

Wait, you already have everything too?

[undermoonlight]

Well, everything except the blood and guts.

[Which he still finds unsettling. If it weren't for turning into a squid and spending the past few months in a blood-obsessed town, Atsushi might think twice about a blood ritual like this.]

Sorry. Was that rude of me? I wasn't sure how to ask, so... [He'd taken action instead.]

[lightthedarkness]

No no no! I was about to ask- I AM asking you! I think- Sushi-kun, this really means a lot to me that you want to do this too! I was worried I was being pushy! [Again.]

But you want to do it too? That means so much to me, really really!

[undermoonlight]

And here I was worried you'd be upset... whew.

[He laughs lightly, mostly at himself. Usagi's kindness has never ceased to amaze him. Really, he should learn that Usagi is love itself already!

But just like with Makoto, Atsushi worries that the bond is asking a lot. Even from Usagi. So to be certain, he does want to warn her of what she's getting into;]

It sounds like they're a lot though... Emotionally. Uh. Before we do, I... I should warn you about... something. Is that okay to discuss in person?

[lightthedarkness]

With you? I've never been upset with you Sushi-kun!

Right, yes, I'll come to you. Where are you? I'm in the kitchen.

[undermoonlight]

I don't mind coming down to you. I'm in my room, but-

[The door can be heard opening;]

I'll see you in a minute. Thanks for your time, Usagi-chan.

Action;

[lightthedarkness]

[Usagi was looking over the stuff for the bonding ritual and making sure everything was ready to go when she heard Atsushi enter the kitchen. Her margay, Lua, was fast asleep atop a stool.]

Hey.

Backdated May 5. Waiting when he wakes up.

[thunderingcourage]

[When Atsushi woke that morning, there would be a small card waiting on his dresser with a cup of green tea that was hopefully still warm. Inside was a note with decorative handwriting.

"Happy Birthday Sushi-kun! I'm making Chazuke tonight for dinner, and I have a few other surprises too! In the meantime here's your first gift."

Behind it was something that resemebled a stuffed chameleon.]
