happy birthday from all of us to you

Who: All the Dangans + Parker!
Where: Violet City
When: 8/31, evening
Summary: It's Ishimaru's birthday and his classmates are throwing him a surprise party. This can't end badly.
Rating: PG-13 for language. I'll update this if there are any changes!
Log:
Never again. Mondo is never planning a party this big ever again. Of course the original plan didn't take into account the arrival of five classmates, so originally this would have been easy enough to handle. Now, though? He'd practically run himself ragged making sure that everyone was here and everything was ready.

The hotel was kind enough to lend them the Conference Room for the occasion, and it was quite a large room that should easily fit all of the Hope's Peak classmates and Alice. All the food is spread out on a table by the wall (it's entirely vegetarian, since that's what Ishimaru likes) and the tables are situated nearby so that the guests can actually sit and eat. There's plenty of open space in case anyone wants to dance to the music that's been set up (though Mondo doubts Ishimaru will set foot on the dance floor, it's mostly to entertain the other guests). The gifts are all piled in the back corner and there's even a large TV for the guests to watch. All in all, it seems like the perfect place to hold a party.

All that's left is for Fujisaki to bring Ishimaru to the location, so Mondo fires off a quick text to his friend, letting Fujisaki know that everyone's ready and in position. This is gonna be awesome.

[Okay cool, Hagakure was starting to wonder how long hugs can last before they start to turn really awkward. Now he doesn't have to worry about it. He glances down to see his shirt's a bit wet from the tears but he just brushes it in attempt to dry it faster. Oh well, it could be worse.]

He definitely takes after you in the loud department, that's for sure. Did you know he actually talks too though? He would randomly yell pep talks at me and Kuwata-chi. It was like having you right there with us, dude!

It was kinda terrifying when he first did it while we were just sitting around, but we got used to it.
ardent: (Default)

[personal profile] ardent 2013-09-03 10:13 am (UTC)(link)
Ah...hm.

Come to think of it, he has yelled a few things during battles and the like, but I wasn't sure if it was a quirk of the species or not - I take it that isn't very common, then!

[ ... :|a ]

At any rate! It's good to know that he could do that for you, as I wasn't there to provide the same!

[...Ishimaru...]
crystalballer: (☄ the fates aren't looking good for you)

[personal profile] crystalballer 2013-09-04 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah...]

I never thought I'd say this but I'd rather have you there to yell at us, dude. At least you don't sound like some kinda demon that dug its way up from Hell.

[He's not exaggerating okay, that thing sounds like Satan.]

The one plus about your dragon though was he didn't wake us up way too early.

[Hagakure don't make jabs at the birthday boy.]
ardent: (You're getting better all the time)

[personal profile] ardent 2013-09-04 12:30 pm (UTC)(link)
While I don't know if anything can be done about his delivery, seven o'clock is not "way too early," Hagakure-kun! It's a good habit to get into - sleep in any longer and you'll waste the morning!

[A-At least he doesn't seem bothered - either he's developed a sense of self-awareness somewhere along the line (oh who are we kidding of course he hasn't) or he actually was being serious about being happy with all of this, because his mood seems pretty good overall.]
crystalballer: (☄ but have you heard my alien story?)

[personal profile] crystalballer 2013-09-06 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
I can't help that my abilities are more powerful at night when the stars are in full force, dude.

[That may or may not be complete BS. He's just allergic to mornings okay.

Though he is surprised at how mild Ishimaru's reaction was. But hey, if Ishimaru is happy, Hagakure's happy too. The kid needed an emotional lift, especially since last time Hagakure saw him back home, he was not in the best state possible. Or even close to best.]


Oh yeah! Ishimaru-chi, didja look at presents yet? 'cause I still haven't given you mine yet so I don't wanna be late or anything.
ardent: (And turning all against one)

[personal profile] ardent 2013-09-06 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't, no - but you didn't have to get me anything, you've just arrived!
crystalballer: (☄ but have you heard my alien story?)

[personal profile] crystalballer 2013-09-06 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
Well that's good, 'cause I uh...didn't actually get you anything.

[Well that made a lot of sense.]

I do still wanna give you something though. A free reading from yours truly!

ardent: (Slowly out of line)

[personal profile] ardent 2013-09-06 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
[...uh.]

A-Ah, is that so?

[...uh.

Well. He is suspecting that "I don't believe in things like that" is probably the wrong thing to say because holy shit Naegi has successfully installed a brain-to-mouth filter in this kid over the last four months but he really doesn't know what the right thing to say here is, either. Outside of just. Accepting it.

...this is how one usually deals with Hagakure, if he's recalling correctly. Just...just go with it.]


Well, if you really wouldn't mind, I don't see why not!

[personal profile] crystalballer 2013-09-09 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Yes, for the love of all things holy please humor him.]

Great! D'you wanna do it now or later? I usually do my readings in a private place for the client's sake, so I don't wanna do it during present-opening.
ardent: (Default)

[personal profile] ardent 2013-09-09 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
We can do it now, if you'd like - and I wouldn't mind going somewhere quieter for a while besides!

[Social activity how does it work]
crystalballer: (☄ hey naegs come check out my stash)

[personal profile] crystalballer 2013-09-10 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
Let's do it then!

[Hagakure glances around the room, then nods. This place is way too crowded for a private reading.]

Yeah, somewhere else would work a lot better. How about we use your room?
ardent: (And turning all against one)

[personal profile] ardent 2013-09-10 01:19 pm (UTC)(link)
That would be fine!

[Fine though it may be, it's more than slightly awkward having others actually in his room; he's gotten used to Naegi coming and going by now and Oowada is kind of a given (seeing as they, y'know, share the room and all for the sake of keeping costs down), but other people are still a little surreal.

At least it's presentable, though (as though Ishimaru would let it be anything else), even if he doesn't really seem too sure of where to...go, once they're in there. Depends on what Hagakure plans on doing, he supposes; until then, standing around awkwardly near the door is go.]


I'm not too sure how things like this work - are you going to need anything, or...?
crystalballer: (☄ but have you heard my alien story?)

[personal profile] crystalballer 2013-09-11 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Once they're inside, Hagakure glances around the room in amazement.]

Dang Ishimaru-chi, you really keep this place spotless!

[You're lucky you weren't there to see the disaster that was his dorm room, Ishimaru...

He turns to face Ishimaru and produces a few small incense sticks and a match from his jacket pocket.]


Just need these and some dim lighting. My methods are kinda limited until I can find new equipment. By the way, if you ever see Tarot cards or crystal balls around, please let me know.

[Because Ishimaru's totally going to be on the lookout for such things.]
ardent: (And no one even knew)

[personal profile] ardent 2013-09-13 02:00 pm (UTC)(link)
...You're going to light those in here?

[Are we even allowed to do that? Good lord, everyone working staff in this hotel that doesn't already hate Ishimaru and Mondo due to their combined volume is going to hate them so badly...]

As long as the ash doesn't get anywhere, Hagakure-kun...

[Just. Let him mess with the lights such that it's not UTTERLY FLUORESCENT but everyone can still see, it gives him something to focus on that isn't the...that.]
crystalballer: (☄ hey naegs come check out my stash)

[personal profile] crystalballer 2013-09-15 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Hagakure nods, oblivious to Ishimaru's concern.]

Yeah! Don't worry though dude, I got a holder too. It'd be kinda hard to hold 'em and doin' fortunes at the same time.

[As Ishimaru dims the lights, Hagakure finds a spacious area of the room to sit down and light the incenses. When they begin to burn, a sweet scent spreads throughout the room. A bit of hazy smoke comes with it, but it's not nearly enough to set off any alarms.

Hagakure takes a deep breath to take it all in, then exhales with a satisfied sigh. He then motions for Ishimaru to sit across for him.]


All set, dude! Let's do this thing.
ardent: (And as you step back into line)

[personal profile] ardent 2013-09-15 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
[...oh my god Hagakure-kun he was operating under the assumption that you had a holder in the first place why do you do these things -

That aside, however, he'll sit down as indicated; he's still pretty sure that this whole thing isn't going to work, but at the same time, he's looking more than a bit curious despite himself.]


I've never had anything like this done for me before; is it very difficult...?
crystalballer: (☄ i predict you're an asshat)

nngh sorry for the typo earlier

[personal profile] crystalballer 2013-09-15 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
Well you're in for a treat, 'cause there ain't nothing like the Yasuhiro Hagakure fortune-telling experience! I mean seriously, how cool it must be to get your first fortune from the Super High-School Level Fortune Teller!

Actually...I'm kinda honored to be the first to give you a reading, Ishimaru-chi.

[He's way too happy about this for some reason. That last comment was a little un-Hagakure-like too, but he just keeps rolling like it was nothing.]

It's not really that hard, but it's been tougher in this world for some reason. It's like my senses are kinda hazy here. [He frowns, clearly troubled by it. But then he quickly breaks into a determined expression.] But I promise I'll get an accurate reading this time! This is your birthday present, after all!
ardent: (Another clever word)

no worries! i mean you say this like i am not a crew member on the HMS Typo myself

[personal profile] ardent 2013-09-15 07:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Ishimaru tips his head a bit at that; Hagakure's...certainly very enthusiastic about this, isn't he? While he's not exactly catching all the nuances that are present, he's noticing enough to find it a little odd; for a moment he's tempted to ask about at least part of it ("honored"? why?) but he manages to bite it back for now. He's certain he won't forget it, and surely it can wait for the time being.]

Well, it's an honor to receive it! If you're ready, then!
crystalballer: (☄ totally a mug shot)

hahaha, we'll typo together then

[personal profile] crystalballer 2013-09-17 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
Okay!

[He takes another breath and crosses his legs into a meditative stance.]

Is there anything specific that you wanna know about? Your future career? Money? Love?

[He grins and winks at that last bit. All in jest of course, because it's Ishimaru he's talking to here.]

Or you can just ask for a totally random fortune. I can do that too.
ardent: (And turning all against one)

[personal profile] ardent 2013-09-17 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
[...HAGAKURE...

At the very least, he is perfectly able to tell that he's being played with - he can't read tells worth a damn half the time but that was pretty blatant - and so he's not taking it seriously; however, taken seriously or not, that is probably the fastest way to fluster him oh my god just let him kind of make furby noises for a moment there until he recovers - ]


W-Well, I would definitely prefer hearing about my future career over the...that last one!

[...]

We can go with that, actually!
crystalballer: (pic#6746413)

[personal profile] crystalballer 2013-09-24 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Furby noises. Those...those sure were some furby noises. Hagakure's so used to Ishimaru's weird noises by now that he doesn't even pay attention to it.]

Future career it is! All right Ishimaru-chi, just gimme a sec here. Let's find out what you're gonna get into.

[And with that, he closes his eyes and falls eerily silent for a good couple minutes. While most of the time his face looks at peace, some evidence of strain shows every now and then. Apparently he's having difficulty getting a vision.

But eventually he gets something, because he opens his eyes and directs a grin in Ishimaru's direction.]


Ohhh man, this is pretty sweet, dude! My vision's tellin' me you're gonna be a really awesome gym leader someday! You like authority, right Ishimaru-chi? Well they got plenty of that since they're really strong trainers. They're pretty influential too if I remember right. I think that'd be the life for you!
ardent: (Slowly out of line)

[personal profile] ardent 2013-09-24 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
[...huh. Ishimaru's never really been one for eye contact - maintaining it is often difficult for reasons he's never quite been able to work out, and he often finds himself looking over people's shoulders or up toward the ceiling when he's talking to others; however, once Hagakure's eyes close he finds himself fixing his gaze on the guy's face, studying him while not breaking that oddly complete silence there. He's not sure what to make of any of that, and he finds himself tempted to ask things; he has enough control not to, and enough common sense to understand that that'd just interfere with whatever's going on in Hagakure's head there, but still, this is...sort of interesting, in a very weird kind of way.

And then Hagakure's eyes open and he flinches a little but it's not too bad, and then the words sink in and...wow.]


Do you really think so...? I don't think they allow people not from this world to even hold positions like that - or at least, I've never heard of it, if they do.
crystalballer: (pic#6746405)

[personal profile] crystalballer 2013-09-25 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
They don't? [He frowns, obviously disappointed with how this turning out already.] Well that's stupid! If someone's qualified enough, they should be able to do it anyway!

[... Actually wait. Hagakure's expression brightens somewhat.]

Buuut, if my vision said you'll become a gym leader, there's at least a 20% chance it'll happen! Though it's really more like 30% these days, but whatever. Point is, there's gotta be a way for them to make exceptions, dude!
ardent: (Default)

[personal profile] ardent 2013-09-25 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Hmmmm...]

Well, maybe it's something that will change over time! After all, I'm nowhere near powerful enough to attempt to qualify anyway; perhaps by the time I am...

[...you know, this is actually kind of cool; as little as he believes in these sorts of things as a whole, he can see where people might find this appealing.]

Either way, I'm not doubting the reading any, Hagakure-kun! If you say it's possible, then I'll take your word for it!
crystalballer: <user name="fearow"> (☄ 3 years wasted on ancient artifacts)

[personal profile] crystalballer 2013-09-30 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
I'm glad to hear it, Ishimaru-chi! Thanks for letting me do this for ya.

[He looks so pleased. He was expecting Ishimaru to immediately throw his fortune out the window but he's actually believing in it! It makes him so happy and proud.]

Maybe they'll consider if you get all the badges and they see how serious you are about it! [Hmm...] How strong are you and your Pokemon, anyway? You've been here way long than me and most of the others, right? You definitely gotta be stronger than me, at least!
