If you're going to dance, then dance!

[ikenai]

Who: Macross cast and anyone else
Broadcast: Nope
Action: Iskaulit - The Melting Pot
When: 8/22/18

So, a certain idol had a birthday on the 17th, but she never really keeps track of it. Sadly, it's left up to the likes of Kaname to make sure that someone knows how old the other members of Walküre are. As such, now that they're in the new system, plans have been made, things done, people invited via word of mouth.

Anyone who wants to wish Mikumo a Happy Birthday should come to the Melting Pot on the Iskaulit at 7pm tonight. Oh yeah.

[Eh, no one is perfect. He had to have some defect. Aside from not being particularly personable.

Not that Mikumo has any room to talk. She is perfectly friend and personable, but only when she wants. But because she's also capricious....]

I will. The icing is delicious. I don't want to have any until Kaname is ready. Besides, I made Prompto try a bit before. He's still alive. I'm confident that it's perfectly edible.

[He'd call that mean if it wasn't his own goddamn cake. Tasting it is a reward, not a punishment, thank you very much.]

As I said, I wouldn't have brought it otherwise. I did live in a restaurant, I have some sense of taste.

[ikenai]

[Oh, lighten up. Think of it as one of Mikumo's experiments. Because she does.]

Well, of course you do, Messer. [She paused and loses her teasing tone.] Thank you.

[vartex]

[The sincerity is honestly unexpected, and he's momentarily taken aback.]

...Of course. I'm not very practiced in giving gifts. It's the least I could offer.

[Thank god for Kaname for helping out because he wouldn't have any clue of what to give Mikumo.]

[ikenai]

[She has her moments. And they've been more frequent since their trip to Windermere. Something something about kidnapping, right?]

Well, I'm not very practiced in receiving them, so we make a pretty pair. Don't we?

[They do, but that's not the point.]

[vartex]

I suppose.

[He's not sure that's a descriptor he'd have chosen for himself... but he gets what she means.]

A performer such as yourself would know that improvement comes with practice, and you've plenty of years ahead to learn.

[ikenai]

[No, he's definitely more ruggedly handsome, but that's not the point.]

It's true that practice can make improvements, but natural talent helps. Besides, Messer, if you really want to get better, you should take advantage of this opportunity you have now.

[vartex]

If that's your way of asking for your gift, I left that in Kaname's more expert hands.

[Also he made you food. That's a pretty rad present.]

[ikenai]

I don't expect gifts.

[Besides, she's sure that Kaname's really the only one who will bother, not that she cares. Gifts are novel, not necessary.]

I was thinking along the lines of someone else receiving them.

[vartex]

[.....]

You're referring to Kaname.

[Because who else would she mean, when it comes to him.]

[ikenai]

Of course.

[See, Messer, this is why she likes you. You don't act dumb.]

Can you think of anyone else that deserves presents more than her?

[vartex]

What an absurd question to ask me.

[Why are they even discussing this!!]

[ikenai]

[Because he's as ridiculous as she is, in his own way.]

Is it, really? I don't think so. If we're being honest here, Kaname is the best person either of us knows.

[vartex]

Obviously.

[He doesn't need her to tell him that, though it's good that he's not the only one who acknowledges it.]
