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?

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.]

text!!

[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]

oh dude, seriously? i didn't know.

what date? we'll throw another party. because we're not gonna combine hers and yours together. that's stupid.

[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.

[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.

[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?

[solitarysoul]

a stuffed animal.

okay. i can do that. thanks.

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

[digthefuzz]

I can't deny that. No one else can get decorations from Point A to Point B quite like me! You know I'm always happy to help.

LOL! ROFL! I might not have known her for long, but I already know that sounds just like her. Brownies are sounding more and more like a good idea. And it has nothing to do with me wanting to have some of them too! That's just a bonus.

[ 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... ]

[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]

[LOL??? ROFL???????]

i do an amazing impression, right?

and hey, long as you save some for me. i'll even risk my health and taste test for you. [He's so supportive......]

[laserguy]

[Cool, that was easy.]

don't forget to bring food too, it still is a potluck.

kotone's really big about eating food with friends.

[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.]

[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.

[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?

[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.

[memori3s]

[ Listen SCOTT Minato Arisato has been to the club several times. Ok. That counts. ]

We held a party at the dorms once.

[ To celebrate the defeat of the final large Shadow, which SEES was told would eliminate the Dark Hour. Except it didn't, oops. ]

Maybe Kotone had the same one too.

[solitarysoul]

right. i'll bring something good.

[Hopefully.]

[digthefuzz]

[He has much to learn...]

Yeah, it's like I could hear her voice. You're good at this!

Dude of course you'll get some! And it'll be an honor for you to be my taste tester, no risk involved! This won't be anything like Kitty's muffins.

[izanagis]

Honestly if I missed it, I'm not sure I could show my face around town anymore.

I met Kurt, yeah. He was pretty cool. I'm glad you have a friend around, Scott.

[joyboys]

[ just triple it.... ]








yes

[ no. the answer is absolutely, without a doubt, a no. ]
