[Osomatsu hasn't used the network in a while, but today is a very special day, and you're all going to hear about it, whether you like it or not!]

Yo! What's up, Prismatica?

[he's not going to flash a peace sign, or anything. but he sure looks happy, sitting there, wearing his normal clothes and... a party hat?]

I'm just gonna come out and say it. Today's my birthday! I'm nineteen... I think... My last birthday, I was eighteen, so I'm gonna count this!

Haaa. I've been here for almost a year...

[his smile falters just the smallest bit, but then he's pushing whatever brief bout of melancholy he has to the back of his mind and waves his arms]

If you wanna come visit me, I'll be around! My door's open! I've got snacks and games out!

Honestly, I think I'm envious. I've learned more about my friends and colleagues in my short time here than I'd have liked.

[immature]

[oh dear. Osomatsu cracks a small smile]

Wouldn't that be a good thing?

[poetry_in_motion]

Not the things I've learned, no.

Some pieces of information are best kept a secret.

[immature]

[he is polite enough to not laugh, actually. surprising, since he is Osomatsu. but he understands the embarrassment]

Yeah, this place... it makes you do things, feel things... you might not normally feel at home. And it puts it all out there, for everyone to see.

[poetry_in_motion]

I've heard. But I won't let it get to me. I have plans to get around these things.

[ Plans that consist of handholding, obtaining a good and stable job, and finding his ideal partner. ]

[immature]

[?????????]

Plans, huh? Care to share?

[poetry_in_motion]

I'm planning on getting a stable job for income, holding hands with friends when necessary, and eventually finding my ideal partner.

The last is a long shot, I know, but there's a chance it can be a reality.

[immature]

[huh... for some reason, Osomatsu thought there was... more to it]

Too bad, thought you had, like, a magic pill that made you not go through Moonblessing shit!

[poetry_in_motion]

[ ... Oh no, this guy is ... not the brightest, is he? ]

I doubt something like that would exist. Otherwise, someone would be selling it for a high profit by now.

[immature]

[he... manages]

I mean, this is the first time we've talked, right? You could be a newbie that had this antidote with you, or knew something about it, and this would be the first I'm hearing of it.

[poetry_in_motion]

I'm no chemist. I can create items, but I'd have to have seen an antidote beforehand. Since one doesn't exist, I can't duplicate it.

[immature]

L-look, you don't have to be super serious! I was mostly joking. I think if you can find a partner, you'll be in good shape, though. I've held hands with a few people to make Chroma.

[poetry_in_motion]

I'm always serious.

My partner from home -- business partner -- would say the same. But he's a menace and should be avoided at all costs.

I'd rather run out of energy than hold his hand for Chroma.

[immature]

[?????????]

I didn't... say you had to?

[he just threw his business partner out there, for some reason]

[poetry_in_motion]

[ He just really can't stand his partner sometimes. Honest. ]

You said handholding works fine to generate Chroma, so I thought about him for a second. I know he's here.

[ He's tempted to add 'unfortunately' to that, but decides not to. ]

Anyway, I apologize for derailing this conversation. What plans do you have to celebrate your birthday?

[immature]

[Osomatsu wants to say that if he thought of his partner first, out of all the people he could hold hands with, that means something.

but whatever. it's not his business]

Oh, mostly I'm just relaxing today. Then, later on in the evening, I'm going out to dinner with someone.

[poetry_in_motion]

[ He does not have feelings for Dazai, nope. Not at all. ]

Oh? That's wonderful! What sort of cuisine?

[immature]

Haa? Good question! I haven't gotten that far yet.

[he thinks]

What would you go for?

[poetry_in_motion]

For my birthday? I'm not sure. Depends on what I've had recently. But I love bonito.

[immature]

[HMMMM he rubs his chin]

I'm partial to chicken, myself. And soba. But I had a lot of chicken already today. I could mix it up and hit McDenny's, for western-style breakfast at night, but I wanna wait and see what my friend wants to eat, too.

[poetry_in_motion]

Well, no matter what you have, I hope you enjoy it.

[ He does genuinely mean this. All in all, he's a caring man. ]

Mine is in August. Perhaps I'll take your cue and tell everyone if I have the time.

[immature]

[that makes Osomatsu smile]

You should! It's... kind of fun to celebrate in a new place, yanno? Like, I miss my family a lot, but I have friends here who have been really nice to me today!

[poetry_in_motion]

I will keep the idea in consideration.

[ With that, Kunikida has a Job to Find(tm), so he hangs up his phone for now. ]
