[ It starts suddenly, a POV-shot in a Kyoto Base room, focusing on a troupe of jewel-bright hummingbirds staring out at the viewer from their flowerpot-nest suspended from the ceiling by strings. ]

Today is an important day.

[ That seems to be Choso’s voice, delivering news unto this tiny flock of an audience. A big finger wiggles into the shot to poke a brightly green bird-drone on the beak. It chirps in annoyance as the shot swings wide and away.

Look. Behold: pink-headed Itadori Yuji, tying his shoes, minding his own business and blissfully unaware of the day’s reveal. ]

It is Yuji’s birthday today.

[ A pair of hands lift into view and begin to clap, slow and somber. ]

Happy 17th, Yuji. Congratulations. Good work. Excellent job.

Why are you clogging my eyes with this trash?

[ He doesn't know how to blacklist names yet. ]

[gimu]

Then take them out and eat them.

[hachikai]

I look forward to watching you choke from the inside.

[gimu]

I thought your eyes were clogged. Don’t you have some botulism to contract?

[curingidiocy]

I wish him a happy birthday. Are you aware of what he might like as a present?

[gimu]

your undying love and appreciation for him as a person, for one.
something nice to wear, for another.

[curingidiocy]

I'm afraid he'll have to find the former elsewhere, but the latter is doable.

[ Sorry Yuji, Ratio likes you strictly as a student, which puts him somewhere in the range of acquaintance on the relationship spectrum of stranger to lifelong partner. ]

What kind of clothing does he prefer?

[gimu]

scrooge.

sporty garments. easy to move in, durable. probably.

Chosonii-san!

Do you have a cake for Yuji-san yet?

[gimu]

Hello, Nyuu.

Not at all. I learned how to cook many things except for cake.

I have acquired tofu and candles, however.

[saudadist]

I know how! Let's make one for him.

It'll be a secret.

[gimu]

A secret cake. Intriguing.

I defer to you, Baker Nyuu. All of myself is at your disposal.

Heeeey! Congrats on the birthday! Making it another year when shit's out to kill you is a major achievement. Are you guys having a party? Where should I send a present to?

[gimu]

Every extra year is worth the celebration.

… You know, a party is a fine idea. We could invite the monks for candled tofu.

[intertwinedfates]

Right? That's--

[wait, what]

Candled tofu...? Is that a tradition where you're from?

@black mist

[sensehispresence]

It's big brother's birthday?

[gimu]

Yes, it is. The twentieth of March is his day especially, and today he is seventeen.

[sensehispresence]

I will have to remember this. Though, I have never celebrated a birthday before.
