[ kyouko's birthday!!! it's finally here. it's been marked on the fridge calendar, the extra money has been saved, the gift has been purchased, and daisuke and naegi are ready to present their... well, present. ]

[ standing outside her front door, the two stand with a rather large cardboard box. there's a nice ribbon placed on top of the box and the entire thing has been painted with flowers and balloons and other cute shit that'd you expect these two softies to have painted on. it's kind of ridiculous but what would she expect from her next door neighbours? ]

[ anyway, knock knock, open up for your bday gift ]

[ Daisuke looks kind of anxious as he waits for the door to open, his thumbs twiddling in the meantime. However, he's glad that the box can actually fit through the front door, if only barely. ]

I hope she's home...

[ they're in luck (?) because kyouko is home! and she is in fact the one of the two girls to open the door.

...

why do they have such a huge box? she'll ease the door open after registering who it is. today she is still SUPER PURPLE HAIR AND EYES god save her, and otherwise is in black slacks and a white dress shirt...

is she avoiding color to make up for the fact it's been forced on her... ]

Ah...did you two get locked out again?

[ what a lucky break!! now they don't need to try and lug this back into their apt and break their backs. naegi instantly smiles ]

No, we're okay. [ for once... ] We wanted to drop off your birthday gift.

[ There's so much faith in them... ]

We hope you like it!

[ He says with a big smile. ]

We should help move it inside though...

Ah...I won't turn down the help, but what...?

[ she will move aside though... ]

[ right! moving it inside. naegi will go to the front of the box to grab that end to pull it into kirigiri's apt ]

I'll take this side and go in first, Daisuke.

[ Daisuke nods and grabs the other end of the box, walks over carefully to lead Naegi inside with the box. ]

Good thing it's not that heavy.

I'm still not clear on what it is...

[ once they're through the door she will close it, though, so as not to just keep it open indefinitely. ]

[ insert awkward shuffling and carrying of the box probably to kirigiri's living room or wherever they can set it down with enough space ]

Do you want to open it now?

[ IT PROBABLY DOES LOOK SUSPICIOUS like a giant box... ]

It shouldn't be that hard to open. Just steer clear of where the side of the box falls.

[ Daisuke looks ready to help her, should she need any. ]

...Well, in that case.

[ these two can't be up to anything nefarious...she'd see it on their faces if they were. so, kyouko goes to open the box, carefully!

what shenanigans are these. ]

[ the shenanigans is... a massage chair! how the hell did they manage to afford this........... ]

Ta-da, happy birthday, Kyouko!

[ A secret, of course..... ]

Happy birthday! I hope this will be useful for you!

[ - HOW THE HELL DID THEY MANAGE THIS, SHE KNOWS WHAT THEIR APARTMENT LOOKS LIKE...

like, she's touched they would spend this much of their much needed money on her but BOYS PLEASE. ]

...Of course it will be, but you didn't need to...

[ LOOK DON'T ASK QUESTION AND ACCEPT IT (spoilers: naegi worked many long hours at the cafe, doing 2038910 commissions, and living on just bread for a month) ]

Of course we had to. It's your birthday and you've helped us so much for the past few years. It's the least we could do.

We heard that you do a lot of deskwork and stuff, so we thought that this would have been a really good way to relax. I kinda feel like this isn't enough, to be honest...

[ Ergonomics and all are important! He looks a bit sheepish about admitting that though. ]

It's far more than enough...rather, helping you out isn't something I've ever done for any sort of return.

[ but not accepting would be rude...lord. she's going to have to bring over food for them for a bit these idiots ]

...Thank you very much. I hope we all get along for the following year, as well.

[ please do bring food. they probably need it after spending all this money on her ]

Same here. I hope so too.

[ he nods! ]

[ Daisuke nods too. Also, he thinks the mood is nice. Though it's a shame, because he needs to leave for errands. ]

That's good to hear! I have to go take care of some things outside, so I'll have to go early. I hope you have a good birthday today, Kyouko!

[ He waves goodbye and scurries out of the apartment.

Which leads to the second present thread-- ]
