As we are now exactly one month away from my sister's birthday, I must admit that I've gotten a rather late start to the planning, this year. And so, this is my open invitation for those who would like to contribute ideas to do so. I will compile them and then determine the logistics once I have a clearer picture - and, I believe this goes without saying, but the more ideas the merrier.

This is currently visible to her, so if there is anything that you would like to keep as a surprise, please either text me or say something privately.

It has been brought to my attention that it's also Tanegashima-san's birthday tomorrow. Do you have any fun plans? Or shall the birthday committee coordinate something for you, too?

This will be a stressful week leading to the start of exams, but I hope that everyone can take a break from their books to enjoy the beautiful weather (though, it appears there are gray skies and rain in the forecast, so maybe not on those days). Remember that exams are not a reflection of your intellect, but instead meant to gauge how well you have memorized the material. Please don't become so wrapped up in the stress that you don't take care of yourself.

With that said, I should probably be studying. Ha.

An-san's birthday is that soon? Hm... maybe a no boys allowed pajama party with champagne and sweets? But I guess you couldn't plan something like that. :)

Your slacking off is taking the form of trying to encourage others, Tachibana-san.

[saypassion]

I bet she would love something like that, as well. Maybe after all of us stinky boys leave, that could leave the girls to their pajama party.

I feel very called out. Am I so transparent?

[kabutoneechan]

Yep, once we get rid of you stinky boys, the real party can start. ♥

A little bit, but it might be the filter on the image.

[saypassion]

Is this your official suggestion to the planning An's birthday party?

I have a feeling that this is a joke that that is apparent only to youngins.

[acchimuitehoi]

Ladybug's birthday, huh? Hm~☆ I think something relaxing would be best. Maybe a big pot of home cooked curry and snuggles with the doggo. That doesn't count as a party, does it? Maybe if the doggo wore a party hat?



I have plans for my birthday! ☆ Oops, I was supposed to invite everyone. Doing that noooooow!

[saypassion]

She would probably love that. I will have to do that regardless of what we do for the party. Maybe on the day itself. It depends on what she wants to do for her own birthday.

Ha! It looks just like our puppy.

Sounds fantastic. I'm in.

[acchimuitehoi]

That sounds perfect. ☆

Awww~ that makes me want to stretch his floppy jowls. ♥

[saypassion]

He is precious. An brought him home once upon a time and both of us fell in love instantly. He's been a part of the family ever since. It's only a matter of time that you meet him, as one of the siblings and all.

How is a month in advance late? You know it doesn't have to be this big thing.



You should be studying though I'm sure everyone needed the zen advice. Before you ask I'm sleeping at least 6 hours and eating properly.

[saypassion]

I know. But I want it to be special for you because you're important to me. And it was too late the day following your birthday last year.

It's my own special brand of procrastinating. I'm studying. And it's six hours of consistent sleeping and regular meals?

[bana_an_na]

I know~♥️ I'm happy just having a good meal and spending time with my friends and of course you. :b

I mean, you could say it is.

[saypassion]

Of course. That sounds lovely. I was thinking we could perhaps enjoy the sight of some familiar mountains for a few days, too.

Can I? Truly? :)

[bana_an_na]

I'd really like that but maybe during summer break, I'd rather visit for a longer time.

...maybe?

[dontgiveafox]

Oops, I've rostered her on for an all day shift that day at work. We're a bit short staffed at the moment, and I definitely need her there.

[saypassion]

It wouldn't be very thoughtful of you to not give her the day off. It is her birthday, after all. She would do that for you.

[dontgiveafox]

No, definitely have to have her there. Like I said, we're short staffed, even I have to work that day.



I think Batman-chan would be more likely to cut off my hair than give me a day off...

[bana_an_na]

Of course I'd give you the day off.

[saypassion]

Ah, is it a staffing issue? If so, I'm sure I know people looking for a part time job. I'm happy to do some recruiting for you.

Not at all. She's very thoughtful like that.

[cumsquik]

An-chan really likes animals! Maybe we could volunteer at a shelter for dogs. Or take Gokutora to a fun place and cook outside.

[saypassion]

Those are both great ideas. I love the idea of volunteering at a shelter for dogs, as there are always more dogs than there are volunteers. Gokutora would love to meet other dogs, too, I'm sure.

We probably shouldn't bring Gokutora to a place where he can eat more, though...

[cumsquik]

We could probably do both. Morning volunteering and an afternoon in the park?

...Yeah maybe we gotta be careful about that

[saypassion]

Lovely. We'll have to see what day will work best for her, assuming that she's game.

Terrible idea. We really should just blame Gran for overfeeding him.

[hiro_shi]

If I may, we could hold a separate party for her on a separate date in case she has plans with other people.

[saypassion]

Yes, of course. She does have her own ideas for the day itself, so this likely would fall outside of her birthday, anyway.

[hiro_shi]

In that case, have you decided when and where it should be held? Do you need help organizing with the food as well?
