Attention everyone!

Tuesday is my 20th birthday. There's going to be a party at the Café des rêves on June 1st, starting at 7 p.m. Everyone is welcome, whether you know me or not. Hope to see you all there!

I am bringing you a white dress, and we are finding an air vent.

I hope you'll also let me buy you a drink.

[Voice] stillneedsakiss May 31 2010, 06:47:50 UTC

[A heartbeat's pause and Aya bursts into laughter.]

You're the best, Youji. I look forward to the drink.

[Voice] slantedcross May 31 2010, 06:53:41 UTC

So I've been told. Have a list ready, hm? Anything else I can do for you?

[Voice] stillneedsakiss May 31 2010, 08:56:01 UTC

[Several seconds' worth of silence.]

Yes, actually... How good do you think you'd be at keeping my brother occupied after the party?

[Voice] slantedcross May 31 2010, 09:16:25 UTC

Depends on how many drinks you buy me.

[Neutral, no commitment.]

[Voice] stillneedsakiss May 31 2010, 09:19:39 UTC

I'm sure I could afford a few.

[Voice -> Video] slantedcross May 31 2010, 09:26:44 UTC

[Something strikes Youji as off here.

[He switches to video. He's wearing a rare serious expression, because this? Is strange. Aya loves her brother. Yes, he annoys her; yes, he's not the party type, but Youji still feels something is off.]

What's going on, Aya?

[Voice] stillneedsakiss May 31 2010, 09:31:58 UTC

[Aya leaves her own on voice. Sorry, Youji, but Ken's already called her on not looking so well and she's not wanted to risk that again with anybody.]

Let's just say there's something I'd like to do to celebrate my becoming a legal adult that I don't think he'd really be too keen on. I won't even hold you to your promise to hide him in your apartment for me. Please, Youji?

[Video -> Voice] [I'll edit if you want] slantedcross May 31 2010, 09:51:49 UTC

[And the video snaps off quite abruptly.]

I'm surprised.

[His voice is playful, but with an edge. A blunt edge.]

You have a boyfriend and I don't know until you're about to sleep with him?

[Voice] [No need-- *shivers*] stillneedsakiss May 31 2010, 09:57:12 UTC

[Aya catches the edge. And is suddenly a little uncomfortable. Which makes her a little defensive.]

What does it matter?

[Whether she's referring to it being a boyfriend or not or Youji's knowing or not is not clarified.]

[Voice] slantedcross May 31 2010, 10:08:42 UTC

If it didn't matter, sweetie, you wouldn't ask me for help.

I need to know what I'm working with if you expect me to pull this off.

[Voice] stillneedsakiss May 31 2010, 10:12:23 UTC

What matters is that I don't want him to interrupt!

I don't really understand what more you need to know. There's a guy I'm involved with and I want to be with him for my birthday...

[Voice] slantedcross May 31 2010, 10:46:48 UTC

[If it were anyone except Aya-chan, Youji would be tempted to point out that it would be some poetic justice. But it is Aya-chan, so he doesn't.

He already has a few cruel responses ("So why bother with this big party?") but the rules are different with women, and he suspects he already cut her well before.]

Couldn't you find a love hotel like everyone else?

[He might be caving. =/ She's a sensible girl, but this need to grow up is getting to him.]

[Voice] stillneedsakiss May 31 2010, 10:49:04 UTC

You know, that's okay. I'm sorry I asked.

See you at the party?

[Voice] slantedcross May 31 2010, 11:05:01 UTC

Of course, Aya.

[He knows when he's being closed out. The temptation to slide into his customary apathy is present, but not as strong as he would have expected. It's Aya, he likes her--and she's an adult, all the same.]

Your first drink is on me.

[Voice] stillneedsakiss May 31 2010, 11:07:23 UTC

Mmh. Until then.
