[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.]

...Is that suppose to be an insult?

[irritated]

why? you're bringing a gift! i wouldn't be insulting you at all or anybody coming to the party. it's a free invitation.

it's just food for thought. something like that.

[The whole not bringing a present thing has very much been a test.]

[whatsamada]

If you say so.

Regardless, I'm still bringing you and your brother something. I just hope you'll enjoy your day and spend it while you still can.

[Because he knows being young isn't going to last forever!]

[irritated]

because being young isn't going to last forever or something?

[It isn't like Hikaru hasn't thought of it. After all, once they become adults then they have to take over the businesses and think about what they're doing.]

being stuck here kind of gives us a break i guess.

[whatsamada]

I guess but it's going to be difficult as we would need to know what to do for the future.

[Said the 13 year old kid.]

Because we can't stay here forever.

[irritated]

[Ken has a point and Hikaru has thought about it. He's met important people here, even has his first relationship ever here.

But talk about being a bummer?]

aren't you like. 12? calm down. be a kid.

[whatsamada]

I know.

It's just something to think about!

[and here, despite how much he does, he will forever be an old man at heart.]

[irritated]

well stop thinking about it. the point of being a kid is to just be one. you'll have plenty of time to worry about adult things.

come to the party, have fun, and stop giving yourself a midlife crisis. it's that easy.

[whatsamada]

It's a lot harder than you think when you're use to trying to be an adult.

But fine. I'll try my best to act like a kid there!

[irritated]

and don't forget to get an outfit, too!

[Selling to a kid after he says he should live as a kid more...]

[whatsamada]

Even if I should dress like I normally would?

[Should he be worried?]

[irritated]

you can be a kid and have a new outfit

[whatsamada]

I suppose so.

Guess I might have to surprise you.
