text; filtered away from Kotone

[laserguy]

[So, a few hours ago, Kotone posted a certain message to the network, one that seemed pretty normal for her:]

Hi everybody! Shinji already talked about Cooking Club a little the other day, and that gave me the idea that we should have a potluck so everybody can share what they've been making! Let's have it on June 12 -- that'll give everyone plenty of time to think about what you wanna make! I'll be in the club building every afternoon until then if you want help thinking of things or if you wanna practice. 🥰 Hope to see you then!
-Kotone

[Except, she left out one very important detail and now Scott is here to fix that little mistake. So, yeah, few hours after Kotone’s message, Scott will send a new one.]

Hey, you heard earlier about Kotone’s potluck? Wanting it on June 12th and stuff? She sort of forgot to mention that it’s her birthday that day. I know, dumb, right? So, when you come to the potluck, bring a present too. She’ll be happy with whatever you get her, she’s a sap like that.

[Just come and have a good time, really. Celebrate that she made it to another birthday and stuff. He knows that being with friends is the most important thing to her, but he’s not saying that mushy shit here.]

I’ll be at the club building early that day to decorate. So pop by if you wanna help with that. Let’s just keep this all quiet from her, got it? I’ll laser your ass if you don’t.

[ooc: Filtered away from Kotone because Scott is hijacking Kotone’s potluck and rebranding it to her birthday fjal;kef.]

Dude. Awesome!!
I'm here to help with decorations and everything!
Maybe I should try making something for her too. What foods does she like? Or maybe I should just try for brownies. They're not too hard to make, right?

[laserguy]

[Kurt you're his favorite mutant.]

that means a lot man, thanks. decorating will be hell of a lot easier with your help.

she tends to like anything?? she'd probably say something really corny like 'make whatever you like making! 🥰' but i put my vote in for brownies.

text, reply to scott's post

[solitarysoul]

what sort of things would be good presents?

[Yes, Scott just said anything. He still doesn't know.]

[laserguy]

[Scott almost says just 'normal presents,' but. He knows who he's talking to. He really can't leave it open-ended with this guy.]

get her a cute stuffed animal. kotone likes that stuff still, honestly, most girls do. just a tip for the future.

[luneminary]

[Of course he knows that Kotone's birthday is soon! His original idea was to just give her something on his own, but this is so much better!]

I knew you were such a softie, Scott-san! ( ´ ▽ ` ).｡☆

Of course I'll come around to help! There's a gift that I already have in mind, but maybe I can find something better? (´• ω •`)

[laserguy]

[....god this asshole.]

dude hell no, i'm not a softie.

[where did this come from!!] it's not weird wanting to celebrate your girlfriend's birthday?? like. you're an asshole if you don't do anything for it.

but cool, great. kotone will be really happy if you show up. [like she's happy if any of her friends show up, but he knows how important ryoji is to her. maybe earlier, months ago, he would've been jealous about that, but scott's gotten better about stuff like that now.] what present did you have in mind?

[izanagis]

Wouldn't miss it. I can come early to help set up, too.

[laserguy]

dude if you missed it, i would actually kick your ass.

[At least he didn't say 'laser' this time--] but thanks. luckily i have kurt coming to help and he's going to be a big help, but extra hands and stuff.

you two met, right? he's like me.

[And it's so fucking nice.]

[memori3s]

[ He's going to quietly tuck that information away in the back of his head. June 12 is Kotone's birthday. Duly noted.

In any event, he'll join in on Yu's idea. ]

I can come early too.

[ Two wildcards early to decorate, what will they do... ]

[laserguy]

[More volunteers! Which means less work for him-- wait, isn't that something Kotone would think???]

since i'm getting so many volunteers, i might as well go all out with the decorations. balloons, maybe a fucking banner at this point.

tell me that you've been to a party before.

[joyboys]

A BIRTHDAY PARTY yeah of course i'm coming!!

[laserguy]

[Maybe they should double the food if Luffy is coming.]

can i trust you to bring food and not eat it along the way?

[killjoyprince]

[She didn't dislike Kotone... Naoto just feared her. In the same way she feared Rise.]

NOT 2 B RUDE
BUT DO BIRTHDAYS RLY MATTER MUCH HERE WITH HOW TIMES WORK HERE?


[When she'd arrived, her birthday had been a month away back home. Here? It'd have been two months after she'd gotten here.]

[laserguy]

uh, obviously?? days still come and go, there's clearly a passage of time.

besides i wasn't going to be stuck being 16 forever. that would suck.

filtered to scott

[invinciblemikey]

i dont think i should come
but i still wanna send her a gift

private;

[laserguy]

[Oh boy it's emotion land again. Scott wants to see Mikey, but also... he's still just a bit mad at him too. And Yu and Yosuke will be there and he's not sure how they're working things out. Probably not great.]

i think she'll still be happy to see you.

it's... kotone. you know? she loves her friends.

[entreats]

If I pass the present on to you, can you give it to her for me?

[ .. sure is an odd request, huh. Almost as if someone is attempting to dodge having to attend another social gathering.. But doesn't want to be mean and neglect one of her housemates.. ]

[laserguy]

Now why would I need to do that if you're attending the party?

text

[battlefieldbrat]

another birthday party? is it normal to have them this often?

[laserguy]

it is if you have a lot of friends.

congratulations, kid.

[heroondecku]

I'll be there for sure!

I'll won't be in the way of decorating if I use the clubhouse kitchen, will I? I can try to make sure we're finished really early if I have to.

[Not that he won't absolutely help decorate too, he just wants to make sure he won't be a bother. Can't have his doing something nice for a friend cause problems for others! Normal Izuku Things.]

[laserguy]

good, you better be dude.

that should be fine man. long as you don't start causing a fire in the kitchen.
