[irritated]

[The video opens up to Hikaru and Kaoru, sitting close and waving.]

Hello~ It’s Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin~! [Said in unison before Hikaru starts.]

On the 9th, it’ll be an important day! What day is that? [They speak in unison again:] Our birthday! We’ll be turning 17!

[Hikaru speaks again:] But we’ve been away from our home for almost a year now and it is our first birthday away from our home and family.

[And then Kaoru:] And recently, our friends from home left as well so it’s really just us—[He looks to Hikaru, frowning, and Hikaru is quick to give him a look that obviously means ‘be strong’.

They are definitely playing this up. You gotta get those sympathy points.]

But! We should still try to celebrate these types of milestones, right? Right! So we’re throwing a party! If we can’t have home then we should try to make this ‘home’ as much as possible!

So on Wednesday, June 9th, we will be throwing a party and you’re all invited! There will be food, games, and music! Also, as winners of the magic carpet..[They throw their arms out.] We’ll be offering a magic carpet ride~! Doesn’t that sound exciting?

Dress code is ‘come as you are’ and gifts are totally optional! Think of it as a celebration for making it this far, for all of us!

[Honestly, it’s actually a networking event in disguise but who can argue free food and magic carpet rides?]

We want to say a huge thanks to our sponsor, Corpa! A powerhouse and fusion of all the styles this world has to offer! With their wide range of inspirations and stores, you’re surely able to find something you love and is right for you! And as a wonderful gift to you all, they are offering a 15% off on one outfit of your choice at any of the stores! Just tell them Hitachiin sent you!

Bye bye~!

[ooc: a log will go up on the 9th! Also Hikaru and Kaoru will definitely judge whatever you’re wearing so be warned.]

Hm? No, quite the opposite. The Galactic Alliance's greatest achievements are the result of science and human intellect. But I am a soldier, not a scientist.

From what I have gathered in my time here, human coupling was very different in the past, in which case that would likely alter the probability further...

Yes, I understand. That would be something worthy of celebration.

[irritated]

...How are humans made in your world?

[This could make Hikaru go into some kind of conspiracy mode but he's got to know.]

sorry for the lateness catching up! hhh

There is an Avalon in my world as well, and while it is humanity's homeland in space, not everyone lives there. As military service is compulsory, once one attains 145,000 service hours, they are granted limited citizenship rights and are given four weeks' leave. They are able to eat, drink, and reproduce as they choose.

no worries! i've been there!

[irritated]

[That sure is a lot.]

Wait, what? So you just have four weeks to have sex? That's it? [Hikaru's just putting it bluntly.]

[ferrytale]

[ of all the additional questions he was dreading expecting, it wasn't the length of time. so he thinks about it. maybe this is why they can have twins, and there's none in space? how should he know? ]

Is that insufficient? How long does it take where you are from?

[irritated]

The normal time [no explanation on what normal means] but you can just. Do it whenever you want. You don't need to be told when you can. It isn't like some reward.

[...]

Well. It can be but not like one that's given out. That's weird. That's the opposite of sexy. Being told when you can do anything? What happens if you just go and do what you want?
