[ backdated to the 2nd and filtered from Diamond, of course! two rather tired and beat-up looking kids appear on video, looking exhausted and worried but also determined. this was an important mission, much more so than the draft was! the girl with a beanie glances over at her blond companion, before inclining her head in a ladylike bow. ]

I have a favor to ask of whomever is watching. My name is Platina Berlitz and this is Pearl, and... a friend of ours has been injured in the draft. He's in recovery, but his birthday is also in two days.

We were thinking about throwing him a party to help him cheer up. [and give themselves some rest, whoo boy] There'd be a lot of food, of course, since Dia's a big eater all on his own.

[...free food is good incitement right??]

Any aid with this would be appreciated! E-especially with the food. He's usually the one cooking for us, not the other way around...



[ blue is Platina and orange is Pearl @ willpowered! we'll be replying separately o7 ]

[You're learning how to cope, Platina, that's good.] April 30th. [... whoa, that's soon, isn't it.]

[moehealer]

Um... I don't know how to cook very well, but I could give it a shot, at least!

[she burnt the last cookies she tried to make ...]

[moehealer]

Have you ever had a party for yourself, at least?

[Since it wouldn't be hard to figure out from there, but--]

[Because he's a likely candidate for having a protection complex re: Diamond thanks to a childhood incident --]

I should've been paying better attention to him. He's the slowest out of us, so...

[willpowered]

[o h.......]

W-Well, we'll have other people too, so I think it'll be okay.

[godbent]

Right. [That's not enough for her to outright deny it, but it's also not enough for her to agree. She sighs and shakes her head, dismissing that conversation but-]

The Brigade will help out with this party, of course. I can cook, even.

[savedtheworld]

I see. You guys... you're not used to that kind of fighting, are you? I was really sad when I saw your names on the draft list. I'm still relieved that you're safe now.

[But he chuckles a little.] Pies, huh? You can count on that, then! They're kind of my people's specialty.

[Building 1, Floor 4. Okay.]

I'll let him know, don't worry. [It's nice to know Diamond has friends outside of him and Missy. ...Pearl can count on one hand how many friends he has outside of Dia and Missy, on the other hand.] He's a like big cat that's always hungry -- feed him once and he'll probably wander back for more.

[willpowered]

[Well, he makes them perfectly, so --]

Mild ones, but I'm pretty sure he'd try any kind you put in front of him.

[willpowered]

You can!? [SURPRI oh uh that's rude. Pearl clears his throat and, uh.] I mean -- good! Cool! Thanks! Apparently one of our senior's pretty handy with parties too, so it sounds like it's going to be a birthday bash like he's never had before.

[willpowered]

[you know it's true little miss

commoner parties are not the same as your fancy hullabaloos]

[The comparison draws a laugh, and Chouji doesn't seem at all dismayed by the possibility of repeat visits. He's also usually hungry, after all.]

I've seen him cook. [He looks a little sheepish here.] We snuck into the kitchens together after seeing what passed for food in the mess hall. I'm sure he'll return the favor once he's up to it, but there's no rush on that.

[reminded]

Excellent, I'll bring a bit around for him. As far as mood-lifters go, I can think of few things more effective than a heartwarming cup of tea.

[cilantro]

Mm. And of course, I hope you and Pearl are alright as well. [Physically, anyway. As for "favorite flavors" Dia has...well, maybe Pearl knows? Either way--] As for Dia's birthday, please don't worry! I'm sure we'll be able to figure something out!

[acuity]

I'm relieved, too. If we ever get signed up again, it'd be too soon.

A specialty, really? I wouldn't have thought you were the baking type!

[acuity]

It's a form of polite address, that's all! But I don't think I've ever received your name.

[acuity]

Of course I have. But not while I was in Luceti, that's all.

[acuity]

[ what are you calling hullabloos, they are classy-ass banquets tyvm!! ]

[acuity]

Is that so? That'll be soon!

--Ah, but now I have time to prepare...

[acuity]

Thank you for your help! What exactly would your favorites be, then?

[acuity]

We will be. I'll make sure of it.

[ wondering if she could be sneaky enough to ask Dia without having him catch on... well, maybe not. ]

Could I be of any help? You've aided me in my cake, I'd like to aid you with this one!

[acuity]

He enjoys sweets. I'm not sure if that helps in any way, though...

[16autumnroad]

Potato chips and barbecue, but I like almost everything. I'll try to bring a good variety.

[cilantro]

[good luck with that, platina]

Oh, of course! Your assistance would be very appreciated, Miss Platina!

[acuity]

We'll look forward to it, sir--

Ah, I don't believe I've received your name.
