02 - those days we made merry and joked together - [Video]

[It's not why he's actually making this broadcast, but Bar HOMRA does look strange without all the things he's collected over the years. And it's a good enough excuse if Kusanagi-san gets suspicious.

It'd be silly to actually make this broadcast in the bar, considering he wants parts of it to be a surprise, so Tatara's sitting in his apartment when he turns on the feed. It's a bit strange to point something with a camera at himself, but he shakes off the feeling quickly.]

Does anyone know a place to get things here? Aaa, not just any things, but I don't mean things from home either.

[He's quiet for a moment before nodding, evidently pleased with his thoughts.]

Like collectibles or antiques. And what do you all do for fun?

[This curse thing doesn't seem to have everyone panicked, but a little distraction never hurts, right?

Filtered away from Izumo Kusanagi. Tatara rubs the back of his head.]

It's also Kusanagi-san's birthday tomorrow, so stop by Bar HOMRA if you know him. You don't need to bring anything, and I have plans for a cake.

[And last but not least-- Filtered to Mikoto Suoh and Anna Kushina.]

King, Anna, do you want to help with the cake? I was thinking about making it in Bar HOMRA.

[He lives right next door to Kusanagi-san so making it in his apartment wouldn't really work. That done, he turns the feed off.]

Heh. Didn't take ya long.

[ Actually, he's glad Tatara's jumping right back into his old habits. It's comforting in a way.

And comfort is exactly what Izumo needs right now, what with the nicotine withdrawal he's going though from this curse. ]

[Aaa, act like nothing else was in the video, yeah...Tatara rubs the back of his head.]

Kusanagi-san! Did you really think it would?

[ He gives a small laugh. ]

The bar's been so neat and organized without all your stuff clutterin' up the place.

[ It's obvious he doesn't mean that in an offensive way. Even with all the things Tatara had around, Izumo never got rid of a single one. ]

Aaa, but it doesn't feel the same, right?

[It actually feels kind of weird being in it without all his stuff, for him. It's like he got warped back in time to when he first started hanging out with Kusanagi-san and King.]

No.

[ He was going to say something about how nothing felt the same after Tatara, himself, was gone... but why ruin this second chance they'd all been given with terrible memories?

So instead he just gives a small, slightly sad-mostly grateful smile. ]

[Tatara could tell from the moment he arrived that he didn't live back in their own world, so he just smiles a little sadly back, understanding.]

So do you know where to get things like that here?

[There are a lot of shops, but is there one that has those things?]

Somehow I don't think you've gotten any new hobbies.

Heh. No, I'm pretty stuck in my old ways too.

A hobby shop? There's gotta be somethin' like that here. If not, I know you'll find somethin' to get into quick enough.

[But where is it? It might take a while to find among the other shops. He laughs.]

I wanted to get another camera and start putting things in the bar again, but that might happen too.

[A pause.]

Do you want to come with me?

[To pick up things to stick in the bar.]

Sure, why not?

[ Getting to approve or deny things that will enter his bar before they even make it to the door is definitely a plus! ]

[Were some of the things he brought back really that bad? It's not like he brought a skateboard or Basashi into the bar...He may have encouraged it, but he didn't bring them in himself!]

Sometime after this curse is over then?

[ No, Tatara's stuff was definitely better than a horse. But it'd be nice to not always be the last to know! ]

Yeah. That'd be better.

[ Because he'll be more inclined to approve once he's back in calming nicotine mode. ]

[Aaah, he should let Kusanagi-san know before or when he brings bonsai, jukeboxes, and other things into the bar. Okay!]

Alright!

[Not having withdrawls tends to help with good moods.]

[Shiro recognizes the layout of HOMURA first, and the face second, but it's that recognition that almost makes him regret looking at the network at all. That... was not some one he thought he was ever going to see again, even if the way he "saw" him last time was through the distorted memories and forced actions of the Colorless King.

Oh guilt, you are a cruel mistress.

But it's guilt that actually urges him to answering. He can't run away from the past forever, even if Vatheon lets him hide from it most of the time.]

I won't be stopping by, but if you could pass on my birthday wishes to him, I would appreciate it.

[~~He's not in HOMRA.~~ That voice sounds a little familiar, but whoever it is apparently doesn't want to be seen, so Tatara won't ask who he is. Directly.]

Aaa, alright. Should I just say someone who sounds familiar and says they won't stop by says Happy Birthday?

[Because otherwise he's just saying some guy says happy birthday. The voice being a bit familiar would probably help Kusanagi-san figure out who he is.]

[~~My attention to detail sucks at 8am ignore that part~~

The Colorless King does sound slightly different from Shiro's normal speaking voice, so that's a blessing at least.]

Aa... hah... th-that's right. Tell him it's from Isana-san.

[~~Hahaha it's fine, and I kinda did ignore it. Apart from commenting~~

Tatara smiles and nods. He'll figure out why Isana sounds familiar later.]

Alright then, Isana. I'll tell him.

[Sorry if he finds that rude, but he only really uses honorifics for three people. He's not one of those three people.]

[~~Just smack me on plurk next time I do something like that xD~~]

Thank you very much.

[And no, he's not bothered by it at all. He doesn't really use honorifics most of the time anyway.]

[~~Okay o/~~]

You're welcome! Feel free to stop by the bar if you change your mind. We won't mind.

[He'll figure out who he is later.]

I--... I will.

[Maybe. The last time he was there was when Mikoto had him come over after the curse where his future had been more or less displayed for the entirety of Vatheon to see. He'd been pretty shaken up, but being offered company that late at night when no one else except the former Red King was there didn't make him feel any less out of place.]

See you sometime then, Isana.

[If he shows up, the slight shock Tatara has upon seeing him would likely get over-ridden as soon as anyone else said anything. He looks like the guy who killed him, but he doesn't sound like it and everyone else is more or less fine with him so...He'd just work on making Isana feel less out of place.]

*There's a bright happy wave from Selphie as she smiles at Tatara*

Hey!~ Izumo's birthday! Is there anything you think he would like as a nice present?

[He smiles back, waving a bit himself.]

Hello! He always wears scarfs, so maybe one of those? If you get him one, Anna would like it to be red.

[He laughs a little. Since this is Kusanagi-san they're talking about...]

He'll probably be happy if you just show up and tell him "Happy Birthday" with a smile.

He does... You're right! I think a nice red one would look really good on him!

*Selphie just smiles at that laugh, giving a nod and a small salute*

Perfect!~ I'll totally be there!

[He nods back. A present would probably be nice, but he feels like Kusanagi-san wouldn't really mind either way.]

Then I'll see you there!

Red cake.

[He nods, laughing.]

We'll make him a red cake. How early should I go to Bar HOMRA to help?

[She's basically saying she'll help, and it will be red.]

[ Good translation of Anna, Tatara. ]

... Should it be warm when we serve it or do we frost it and let it sit?

[Tatara blinks. He really should have thought this through more, but he only arrived recently anyway.]

What kind of cake do we want to make? I think that decides whether it should be warm or frosted.

[Or warm and frosted thanks to King--]

.... Red cake. Is red cake warm or frosted?

[...He probably should have expected that--]

I remember reading about red velvet cake when I was into cooking; I think that was frosted. That sound good, Anna?

[They will frost it red and write in red "Happy Birthday Izumo" on it. Because Anna.]

Yes.

... so we should make it in the morning.

[He nods.]

I'll set an alarm then. You and King still sleep upstairs, right?

[He'll show up and then wake Anna (and King) to make cake. Who cares that King is flames right now and doesn't like to wake up before noon?]

[ Mikoto might sortof sleep in a fireplace or something so the mattress doesn't catch fire but YUP. ]

Un.

[ Agreeing. How do you set an alarm on this star-phone? If she flicks off of video, it might be because she's trying to see if she can. ]

[Anna, he didn't mean on this...He meant he'll go get an alarm clock and set it.

He has no idea if he can set an alarm on this or not...]
