[ Aira’s day starts before the sun has even peeked through the trees. This is something he’s been planning for some time, and he isn’t going to let November pass without seeing it happen, even if it means throwing another party of sorts this month. The air is filled with the smell of sweets as he moves things from the Watchtower to the Rec Center.

He picks a decent-sized room to use, with chairs and couches and the like for mingling, and tables to sit the food on. A long table at the back held the sweets to start off, several different flavors of macarons- chocolate, strawberry, raspberry, mint, vanilla… as well as a couple pies and a small batch of cupcakes for those that might not like the macarons themselves. It’s several days’ worth of work, but it’s finally ready. ]

Netbook ♡》

Good morning everyone! I know it’s a little sudden but I made macarons for everyone to try. I realized a bit ago that a lot of us being from different worlds means that we have different foods we’re used to, and I wanted to share the sweets my mom and I used to make. They are very sweet, though, and you shouldn’t eat them if you’re allergic to almonds. I’ve set everything up in the rec center, so come by whenever!

If you can’t or don’t want to, I can bring some to you, just leave me a message for where to find you.

Oh! And thank you to Luca-san for letting me use the Watchtower kitchen ♡

Early Birds ♡1》

[ It's still early morning when the first few people trickle in, likely wanting to get their pick before the selection gets limited. Aira's here, fussing over the minimal decorations he'd gathered. It's not anything elaborate- certainly nothing compared to the party held after his Birthday Live back at ES, but it's more than he tended to get for normal birthdays before that. He still hasn't mentioned that little detail to anyone who doesn't already know just yet. Not that he's particularly hiding it either. ]

Oh! Did you need help picking what to try?

[ He stops fussing with the tablecloth and smiles over ]

There's still plenty. I'd recommend the chocolate ones though~

Full Swing ♡2》

[ Things are more lively as time ticks closer to midday. Aira's taken a seat near the table, but has turned on some music on his phone. Idol music of course, but there's at least a good spread of genres. He seems to know all the words no matter what comes on, and he can be found jamming out, singing along when not actively being spoken to.

That said, he's quick to turn his attention to those that approach, smiling brightly. ]

Sorry, did you need something? You can have seconds if you want, there's a lot left.

[ He'll get up to stretch his legs as well- most people have probably had one by now, so he hopefully doesn't have to babysit the table. ]

Wildcard ♡3》

[ Over the course of the day word of his birthday will spread. Whether anyone does anything about that is up to them. He's certainly not asking for presents or anything. But Aira's 18 now! If people have words for the birthday boy, he's conveniently in one place.

Feel free to make your own tls as well if you like. It's just a casual gathering for the most part. People are free to bring other stuff and turn it into a weird potluck if they really want to I'm not your boss. ]

[Some time in the day, word reaches Kyojuro what the hidden purpose of the festivities is. It's only a few moments later that he comes bursting into the rec center, looking red in the face and altogether... flustered?]

Shiratori! [He huffs indignantly.] You did not tell me it was your birthday!!

[Huff, puff!!]

[ Ahaha... oops. ]

Kyo-nii!

[ he offers one of the macarons. ]

I just... didn't think it was a very big deal is all, and I didn't want to make this about me.

Your birthday is meant to be about you! And a big deal at that!

[He knows some people can be rather bashful about birthdays, but still.]

It is kind of you to wish to celebrate others on this day, and I dare not begrudge you that! But at least allow me to do something for you in kind!

It didn't start as a birthday thing, but it got a bit put off so... I figured combining them made more sense. But bringing it up felt kind of embarrassing...

[ He has a hard time asking for things in general, so to bring it up now just felt like he was asking for people to pay attention to him. ]

If you want to, I won't stop you. I'm flattered you care enough to insist on something like that...

[Min-Gi slightly regrets his earliness. It had been intended to be polite, but now he has concerns it might look greedy instead. He jumps slightly at being addressed, but obediently reaches out to take a chocolate one.]

Thanks. They all look good.

[ He doesn't seem worried about it, honestly. He made quite a bit. ]

No problem! I just hope you like them. I realized a little bit after deciding to do this that some people don't like sweets.

[ He seems a little embarrassed ]

I've always had a huge sweet tooth, it didn't even occur to me until Luca-san said something.

Well... you're the one who put in the work, right? It makes sense you'd make something you like.

[Min-Gi himself would likely enjoy the feast whether it were sweet or savoury, but he still bites into the macaron to make sure first.]

Besides, they're good. I'm sure enough people will like them to get through them.

I suppose I can understand that! But at least now I know!

[And he's all but beaming as he says that! He has plans brewing now, just you wait, Aira.]

Is it acceptable to ask for a few days to prepare something?

Hm? Oh, sure. I didn't really expect anything from anyone so take your time

[ Why does he hear boss music? ]

Wonderful! I am certain Senjuro and I will be able to come up with something fantastic!

[Until then, though, he takes a macaron.]

Now, tell me about these!

Ah- well... I'm a fourth french on my mother's side, I think I told you that before. She was born and raised in france, so she likes to make french food a lot. These are... I guess you could call them a cookie, but they're more just sugar, almond flour, and eggs with a cream filling between them. They're called macarons, and they're very sweet. I grew up watching her make them so it didn't occur to me until recently that some people have never had them at all.

I see! They sound delicious!

[Which he emphasizes by putting the whole damn thing right into his mouth. And you know... just starts talking with it in his mouth!]

Mmph - indeed! Tasty!
