happy birthday from all of us to you

[diamondo]

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.

Hi! I don't know you yet.

[This is her brilliant opener, ladies and gentlemen.]

The buffalo chicken is the best.

[struck_out]

Hmm?

[Leon looks up, mid-chomp in a slice. Oh, he hadn't realised he had an audience. He swallows and grins at the new face, completely unabashed.]

Sorry 'bout that! I just haven't had pizza in fucking ages! The name's Leon Kuwata. What's yours?

[nostabbing]

[Wow, a name she can actually pronounce without ultra-gaijin mangling it. Awesome.]

I'm Alice! Alice-san. I'm with Ishimaru.

[By which she technically means he's her primary link to all you Dangans, but, well. WORDS.]

[struck_out]

Wait, what!? Y-you're...Ishimaru's girlfriend!?

[Just have some shaking finger pointing here because ha ha Ishimaru scored before he did? WHAT IS HIS LIFE COMING TO??]

[nostabbing]

What? No, I'm — why do people keep saying that? Hey, stop pointing at me!

[Evidently she still doesn't see the inherent flaw in what she'd said.]

I'm his...sister.

[struck_out]

Sister?

[Give him a few seconds to process that one.]

So, you're his sister like how Oowada is his kyoudai? Because unless you both got adopted here I'm not seeing how this works.

[nostabbing]

[What, like the super blonde gaijin can't be related? COME ON NOW.]

Yeah, like that. Why, what did you think?

[struck_out]

Well you said you were with him, so that sounds like you and him were together. Like, boyfriend and girlfriend. You gotta be more clear next time Alice-san, or you'll keep giving people the wrong idea!

[nostabbing]

[Leon may soon discover precisely why "Alice" and Ishimaru get along well enough to have dubbed each other as siblings; it's about as difficult to get a concept through to him as it is to Parker.

As it is, she starts laughing, and it's that weird sort of half-forced YOU TRIED kind of laughter moreso than anything particularly natural.]

What? No! Ha-hah, no, he doesn't have a girlfriend. And it's not me. He doesn't have a girlfriend. But he could 'cause he's great! He just doesn't want one. I think.

[struck_out]

[O...K...weird laughter. Check.

Actually, thinking that Ishimaru stands a chance at getting a girlfriend? ALERT.]

Yeah...he mentioned something like that to me. But I think it'd be great for him, y'know? Maybe he'd be able to loosen up and start relaxing if he had a girlfriend.

You know any girls he'd like, Alice-san?
