Oh, huh... today's my 18th birthday.

It's kinda shocking, how quickly my time at the Academy's gone by... It's almost unreal to me.

Even though I still feel like something's watching me, at least things feel sorta... peaceful, right now.

I guess at the least, that's what I'd want right now.

[Event]

*from sunset to evening, Hitoshi's out and about, be it at the island or in the city.

He's yawning a little, though he's taking great care to cover his mouth when doing so. Seems like he just woke up or something. But... He keeps looking over his shoulder, too.

Whoever or whatever's been watching him has done it consistently, but he still isn't sure why or who... So he's a little on edge about it.*

It's the sleepiest of your occasional guardians, Hitoshi. He's arrived in the city wearing a small party hat and has one in his hand to offer.

"... hey."

*you're the only one I can't get tense around, you're too sleepy to get tense around.

... Hitoshi stares for a moment at the party hat in Neil's hand.*

Oh, uh... hey to you, too.

... Is this meant to be something for celebrating?

Neil Faust, professional untenser, bringing down of all moods.

"Yeah, they're hats. To let people know it's your birthday. At least in America. It's real stupid but... I kinda like 'em."

Re: [Event Post]

[monochromaticdays]

*... ... well, as a show of good faith, he humbly accepts the hat and puts it on.

... he looks very silly with it.*

Neil gives the lowest energy thumbs up that has ever existed.

"I approve. That's all I wanted to do. If you don't want me keeping you company tonight, I get it. Just figured I'd do something for your birthday. Still being creeped on?"

Re: [Event Post]

[monochromaticdays]

*... he nods a little looking around*

Y-yeah. I think I'd rather have someone around, honestly, since... I still don't know what it is that's following me. I keep half-thinking it might be waiting for me to do something to try to lure it out...

Re: [Event Post]

[phantomsoldier]

"Set the trap for someone who's trying to trap it... sounds like a predator of some kind, honestly. A smart one."

[Private to Hitoshi]

[snakebitesbythebeach]

I should probably keep an eye on whatever's following you...

Would you be interested in dinner for your birthday?

Re: [Private to Hitoshi]

[monochromaticdays]

Oh... Dinner?

... You know what, yes. I'd be interested in that.

Re: [Private to Hitoshi]

[snakebitesbythebeach]

Would you like something fancy or more plain.

Re: [Private to Hitoshi]

[monochromaticdays]

... Slightly fancy. If that's okay?

Re: [Private to Hitoshi]

[snakebitesbythebeach]

I don't see why.

My allowance allows me to basically buy a small country if I felt so inclined, so.

I don't think it'll be a bother.

Re: [Private to Hitoshi]

[monochromaticdays]

... Then let's do slightly fancy, for this.

::Enjoy, Hitoshi, someone's placed a hand on your shoulder.::

Re: [Event Post]

[monochromaticdays]

*jumping up, startled. you swear for a second that his ponytail went entirely rigid for a moment, too, before he turns around*

Oh-- oh. Hello. Hi.

Re: [Event Post]

[weekendwitch]

You seem exceptional nervous.

::Oh good, it's one of the few girls who doesn't look like a pin-up.::

Re: [Event Post]

[monochromaticdays]

W-well... yeah, I am. Sorry. I keep being placed on edge about things, that's all.

Re: [Event Post]

[weekendwitch]

I won't pry but I'm not exactly in a hurry if you'd like to talk about it.

Re: [Event Post]

[monochromaticdays]

Well... *he looks around a little*

I've been having the feeling like I'm being stalked. For several months, now.

[pendulum_soul]

I remember you mentioning a while ago that you thought someone was following you. That's still happening?

If you ever want any company if you're in Domino, just in case, just let me know!

Still, happy birthday!! Hope you have an awesome day!

[monochromaticdays]

Y-yeah, it still is. I just... I dunno. It's weird that this has even started in the first place, so...

I appreciate it though, Yuya. Thank you.

[kattobingore]

Yeah, backing up Yuya here, you can always count on me if you ever need any company to feel safe too!!

Happy birthday though, man!

[monochromaticdays]

T-thanks. I appreciate it, the both of you.

Though... whoever's been following me hasn't done anything yet... so I really do hope it's just my imagination at this point...

[kattobingore]

Yeah, let's hope it nothing!

But if anything does happen, let either of us know if you need help. We have your back, bud!

[monochromaticdays]

I will. I know you two could definitely help... and would help, if I needed it.
