この気持ち…伝わってるといいんすけどね (12/31)

Who: Hajime Hinata & friends
What: Happy birthday, Hinata-kun!
When: December 31, 9PM~
Where: School roof
Warnings: N/A, TBE

( there's various hidden signs that point towards the elevator, and if anyone catches sight, they'll see an arrow that points up, indicating for them to take it skyward. if they get off too early, there's a sign on the floor that reads, "next stop!", so if they dare, they can go back into the elevator and do as the words command. upon making your way to the rooftop on new year's eve, the setup is immediately apparent.

a number of glittering, sparkling decorations line the area — streamers, balloons, music, and a brightly colored sign the reads: happy birthday hinachan. at the heart of the setup is a bonfire that reaches almost shoulder-height — properly set up to make sure it doesn't spread anywhere further than its containment area, it sets a festive tone.

"borrowed" desks are also covered in an array of treats and appetizers courtesy of nene and amami, as well as enough love setsugetsukka to "make 3 people black out," which is probably enough to share if nobody gets too ambitious. the cake at the center of it all is the real star of the show however, almost as big as a person all on it's own.

to top it all off, even under the dim glow of the stars, nobody is short of a little light when natsume and noah's dazzling light show begins. once the main event has closed, a variety of firecrackers are brought out to celebrate with as things begin to wind down. varieties include the classic sparklers, these little spinny bitches, funky little sparkshowers, some little baby rockets, with the larger varieties spanning a couple feet at most. on the opposite side, there's a little table where a birdhouse is kept, and inside stuffed with all sorts of cotton and wood shavings are two birds huddled together inside, and a few treats that people can feed them if interest. if keigo looks at your character from afar, it's fine, that birdhouse they're living in was made by them, after all.

and at the centre of it all will be one boy with a bag over his head, kidnapped by rokuro arata, who sits him down and lets komaeda undo his blindfold — happy birthday, hinata-kun! )

Of course he did...I'm still mad!

[ She still can't believe some of the things he said. They make her head hurt, because she can't refute them other then wanting them to be wrong. It just leads to an endless cycle of being angry and upset, playing out arguments in her head until she thinks of something better to do.

She is a violent girl, but its nice he doesn't think of her that way. It means she's been doing something right.
]

I'm so mad...but mostly at myself. Is that okay? I...I'm trying to be okay!

Why're you mad at yourself? I mean, it's fine if you are, I think, but it's fine if you're mad at him too. Just don't pretend you're fine and dandy if you're not gonna let me do that.

[this is partial revenge for the practicum thing. but like... a good sort of revenge, because he likes her directness, her openness. it makes him want to be, too.]

[personal profile] samuraiwomen 2022-01-12 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ She senses that revenge, but it doesn't crush her. Instead, there's a defiant glimmer in her eye, as she leans forward to poke Subaru in the chest. She won't let you do that but-! ]

Well. I'm also a huge hypocrite, if you haven't noticed! I've been telling people murder is wrong for how long now?

[ So don't ever lie to her, even if she lies to you! ]

I'm such a big hypocrite, I've pretty much proven everyone right when they were scared of me...I wanted to do something good, but I ended up hurting someone. I wanted to act better then the people who hurt me, but I only ended up acting worse. That's the kind of thing that makes me really mad...

I like jam and my birthday is in May.

[ In case he's serious. It's not like she went to any especially strange lengths, Natsume got her an entire VR wonderland along with her gifts. Yogen Christmas is just extra. ]

Oh! I think I kind of got it right then? I made a snowglobe with purple and blue glitter and some stars...it doesn't look exactly like a galaxy...more like a magic ball. Haha. Maybe Sakasaki-san or Clamor can figure show you how to scry with it?

[ Ponder the orb, Amami-san. ]

[...

oh, sara... subaru'll wrap his arms around her, no more lean. full contact.]


I think your intent is all that matters, Sasara. You wanna be better, you wanna be good, but you've got a bigger flaw than dumb hypocrisy.

[he'll pinch her side!!!]

Don't focus so much on the bad~. Think about the good you have done, the better you have been, and figure out the difference. You're an easy to love person, y'know, I hate seeing you without your sparkly smile~. Besides, we're the same there!

[Little Noah had the worst childhood but we don't need to go into that here. He's fine here and now, as fine as he can be when he's missing one eye and has tons of trauma and is also dead but you know what, sometimes that's an improvement over what your life was before.

Noah sure did make a constellation above them! Just for Hinata. A huge, starry portrait as a birthday gift that's as fleeting as it is pretty; it disappears after the golden track finishes its path.]


It's— it's not a problem. I... I hope it makes you happy. And doesn't embarrass you.

[Noah sorta just remembered that Star Coaster can be embarrassing. Sorry.]

Is it really the best birthday you've ever had?

[ some way or another we'll get Helena back on the roof for midnight while npckun goes to the dorm to zzzz for 42 days

With everybody upstairs, though, it's quiet, a little unnervingly so, in npckun's opinion. But as much as they'd like to stay huddled up against Helena, there's stairs and so he lets her head down first while they follow two steps behind her, down down down to the first floor where their feet automatically take them to the student store before the catch themselves and turn to face the library door instead. ]

[personal profile] adsum 2022-01-12 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[ ...They've never seen midnight before, having a strict self-imposed 10pm bedtime, and in those times they startle awake at night gasping for breath or choking on tears, it's in the darkness of their blankets and with an effort to mask the sound that they don't realize there's nothing to mask anyways. ]

Weird. The library used to be like that, but I heard it was to protect the students. [ In a very convoluted manner, but there was intent behind that silence. ] What does no sound after midnight help? I guess it's easier to fall asleep if it isn't noisy...

( right! right. nene puts in her number immediately and shoots herself a message, before looking up between her own phone screen to shin rapidly, trying not to linger on the harm done to him, but- but- chewing her lip, she looks away and lets her hair fall to shield them both. so he doesn't have to see how she looks at him with such concern, and she doesn't have to try and parse together the size of the bruises.

or

no. no she can't just wait about this. )


what happened

[personal profile] silentabyss 2022-01-12 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
sara and i decided we're going to go back in time and be raised by the sirens in lanox but we want to bring pets with us

maybe a hamster sweater
silentabyss: (004)

[personal profile] silentabyss 2022-01-12 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
No, Lanox where I grew up wasn't an island, though it was volcanic.

[Noah takes the cherry, and then he just has to ask:]

You mean tie the cherry stem with my tongue, don't you? I-I've never tried, so I dunno.

[Man Noah's uno reverse card has just been failing him lately. He'd pout about it if he weren't grateful, though, so he takes the plate.]

Thanks. I guess I'll let you do a nice thing once.

[He's teasing, of course, and there's a little more life and light in his voice than there is on a normal day.]

But I get dibs on the next nice thing.

[He glances away himself, watching the party without really seeing it more than that constantly running threat-assessment allows before looking down at the screen wondering what even to say. What would even be plausible, given a handprint kind of speaks for itself? That concern hurts... especially because he put it there. Eventually he types:]

It's not a big deal... Just a small fight. It got sorted out, so it won't happen again.

[There, that should reassure her, right? ...It absolutely didn't get sorted out, and the possibility of it happening again is responsible for 90% of Shin's high-keyed state.]

( oh? huh? did he pick the wrong dialogue option here? either way, amami lifts a hand in a bit of a confused wave. )

Oh, see you then. Feel free to come say hi if you need a break.

( or something? this one's a puzzle... )

[ ...They don't know. The thought of going back makes them a little nervous, and as much as they'd like to say they'd like to be alone right now, that thought makes them nervous too. It's almost bedtime. They can wait it out under the covers, and then it'll be morning.

Then, the countdown will start.

... ]


Yeah, I'm sure. I know you'll be the first person I see when I wake up tomorrow morning, so I'll be okay.

( critical hit. it's no question how soft that makes him, with some of his tension easing away, shoulders falling slightly with relief. he almost wants to laugh, but manages to keep it to a small huff instead. )

Yeah, you don't have to worry about that.

( it's the one thing he wants to make sure of — that they'll know they can always count on him. but unwrapping his arm from around them, he'll offer up his hand instead. they can continue their little trip, he just wanted to make sure he checked in on them first. though... he still isn't entirely confident to leave them all on their own quite yet. that's fine though, because— )

I'll stay with you for an hour or so while you fall asleep too. Unless you wanna watch a movie or something — it's break, so I'm sure somebody's borrowed a TV by now that we can use.

[ It is one of the best, early mornings when the world is still asleep, when you can be surrounded by people but it's still quiet and they leave you alone. ]

If you have trouble waking up early, come sleep over at Tarou-nii's and my room! I'll wake you up, and that way we wouldn't be bothering your roommates!

You cut it in half, and then in half and half again!

[ Or he can do what they did with their birthday cake that Amami baked them, that they didn't have to share: just pick up a fork and go at it. ]

Wishes are for impossible things, so having all your friends come together to celebrate you doesn't count! Of course we would.

[ Mmmmmmmmmmmm... getting to spend the last few hours of their year with Amami... yeah, they can't help it, cuddling up against somebody and falling asleep in their arms is the ideal way to go. ]

Wolves at Our Door!!

[personal profile] samuraiwomen 2022-01-13 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
Ow...

[ Being pinched hurts... but she'll lean in now. If she's rubbing her eyes...ignore that. She'll hit you back. Easy to love...it feels almost forign to hear it now, even though Sara knows she's been blessed by a lot of wonderful friends. It's just...she doesn't know. Hard to feel like its all real, sometimes.]

You'll have to forgive me. [ She pauses to sniffle. ] I'm not very good at figuring out how I feel about things. Um...but its good advice. I won't ignore it.

...You're really good at this? Do you talk people through murder often?
sisters: (pic♯15031799)

[personal profile] sisters 2022-01-13 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
( NOOOOO they're so cute. amami loves them so much, he breaks into the biggest grin. )

Alright, alright, wolves it is.

( it'll be a nice end to their year, even if the next doesn't start so great. )

[personal profile] starrypoint 2022-01-13 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
... Mm-mm. But I have friends back home who get caught up in their head too, so I just told you what I'd tell them. 'Cause I love you, Sasara.

[he doesn't want to see her cry -- he doesn't want to see anyone he loves cry, which is why he's so... himself. a laughable, carefree guy who doesn't seem to take anything seriously, who makes light of stuff and tries to lift the mood.]

You're a dear friend to me, and it's always people around you that can gauge your growth better than you can.

[it's true of obvious things like performances, but even moreso for things not so easily measured.]

[It's the opposite, really - he used to be an early riser, kind of, until he got here and had trouble falling asleep at night. Even back on Jabberwock that first night; he'll never know now, of course, but he wonders if he'd be plagued with this same insomnia, or if exhaustion would've forced him asleep.

Obviously, he isn't going to say any of that to Kogamo. Better to focus on the warmth that the proposition makes him feel.]


That sounds like it'd be pretty nice, if Amami doesn't mind... It could be like our own sleepover.

[He's come over to hangout, but this is better.]

[Why is his EYE gone every time I look away for five minutes people are losing eyes or being strangled or there's a new body somewhere, looks to the Lord]

It's... maybe a little bit embarrassing. [Hinata laughs and rubs the back of his neck, half-realizing it as he says it, feeling the heat of a blush on his face.] But not in a bad way, really. It did make me happy, I'm honestly really flattered.

[Who just??? Gives people constellations as a present??? The thought that he wouldn't be happy is wild to Hinata.]

It... definitely is the best, though. [Hinata's voice gets quieter. Noah might notice that his smile gets a little sadder as well.] People are usually pretty caught up with New Year's celebrations and everything, so... Not a lot of time for fitting a party in there.

[It's better, really, than saying he's used to feeling like an afterthought, but he doesn't know if his tone quite makes it.]
futurebullets: <user name=albarose> (121)

[personal profile] futurebullets 2022-01-13 11:27 am (UTC)(link)
In half, huh... [Hinata hums, thoughtful.] I wonder if I'm tall enough to do it that easily...

[It's not a sentence Hinata gets to say very often - he's used to walking into a room and being the tallest there.]

Before... It might've felt more impossible, back home. [Back where his parents didn't care enough, and he didn't have friends close enough to go this much out of their way.] ...But you're right. Here, where so many people care... It's not impossible at all.

[Even in the middle of death, there have been precious things.]

I'll have to think really hard about to wish for, I guess.
