✪ Cold. What is a Birthday? ✪ [Text]

[loyal_cube]

First, I'd like to call off my Birthday Party tomorrow. With the current monster problem, it'd unsafe to have people gathering in one place much less have people traveling outside in the snow.

Please keep safe and warm, everyone.

As for the boiler, in the hospital, I just want to make sure I know who all is helping.
I have:
Reisen-san
Knowledge-san

Tomorrow huh...

[loyal_cube]

Yes. It was supposed to be at the Cafe but...

The monsters are a problem. [Yea, you know that not only reason]

But it's alright.

1/2

[prodigal_axe]

... [Have some silent thinking. Maybe a minute or so.]

[prodigal_axe]

So does that mean you're gonna be busy tomorrow?

[loyal_cube]

eh?

N-No. No more than normal, at the hospital.

Why? Does Shinjiro-san need me for something?

[prodigal_axe]

... I might. You wanna stop by my place when you get done?

The apartment, I mean. [He actually manages to say this in a normal tone of voice.]

[loyal_cube]

[He blinks, not sure what to say, but gives in]

O-okay. I'll come by after work. Shinjiro-san knows how late I work, right?

[prodigal_axe]

Not sure... I work pretty late too. What time do you get off?

[Totally playing off that he's kind of nervous about this. If it ends up being too awkward, Cube can just eat the food wherever he's staying.]

[loyal_cube]

Ah... I-I get off around eleven...

If that's too late, I can ask Sensei if it's alright... Though, I've been asking a lot of her lately.

[prodigal_axe]

Usually I'm still working even then... [He closes the bar whenever it dies down, really.]

If you want, you can just go there. Might be easier for you. ... But if you ever wanna visit or anything, you can.

[He really just wants him to know that.]

[loyal_cube]

I know... [He has passed there many times]

M-maybe I'll walk there with Shinjiro-san, if he is still at the bar. It's better not to be alone in this weather.... and condition.

[It's definitely noted, with a small smile]

[prodigal_axe]

Yeah... not with those damned creatures around. [And supposedly (from what he's heard) his Persona might work on them, if he runs into any.]

That's fine with me if you wanna do that.

[loyal_cube]

With this cold air, and snow... flying around isn't as efficient of staying clear of monsters as it once was.

I'd like that. Thank you, Danna-sama Shinjiro-san.

[prodigal_axe]

So that's how you did it before, huh? [There's so much he doesn't know about Cube... and every once in awhile, the differences between 'Cube' and 'Fireball' are really jarring. They're the same person, but also not...]

Tch... don't worry about it. Just be careful walking to the bar.

[loyal_cube]

I've done it since I've had my chip removed. But I hide my wings... because they give people the wrong impression.

I will. I always am. If I need help, I'll ask for it. [Asking for help is not a sign of being weak. it's a sign of knowing your limits.

A moment passes before he speaks again.]

Thank you, Shinjiro-san.

[prodigal_axe]

You shouldn't have to give a damn about their 'impressions.' They're your wings, right? So what's the big deal?

Alright, alright... you don't gotta thank me for anything. [Really, what did he even do? He always gets kind of nervous at constant thank yous.]
