[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!

[ Cue comedic timing to pull out the communicator and browse the Moonblessed in the city. ]

No reasooonnn~~~~

[ Did you know he's evil? ]

[immature]

[UH]

Well, I guess they could be crushes? I don't really... know, though. They're my friends.

[getting_better]

Uhuuuuhhh...And? Their name?

[ He says with a big innocent smile but, if Osomatsu could read his gestures, Bishop's true intent of pulling a prank on him by inviting said crush over would be clear. ]

[immature]

[hm. he looks down, lost in his own thoughts so he doesn't realize what Bishop is doing]

Eijiro Kirishima.

[where has Kirishima been, anyway, though? why didn't he respond to Osomatsu's post?]

[getting_better]

[ He can't seem to find the name, and all he does is click his tongue in disappointment. ]

I don't have him on my contact list. Damn, I wanted to pull a prank on you.

[ Now he's faux sulking, to lighten the mood. ]

Anyway, have you told anyone from the cafe? I'm sure Marie would throw you a party if you asked.

[immature]

[Osomatsu has a bad feeling, but he's trying not to think too hard about it. guess that prank of Bishop's backfired, huh?]

I was very vocal about my birthday! But it's okay. I'm having a party now.

[getting_better]

Mmm, well if you say so. Oh!

[ He slaps his knees remembering something important. ]

A present! What do you want?

[ How could he forget? ]

[immature]

[oh!]

You made me a cake. I'd say that was a pretty good present.

[but if Bishop insists...]

[getting_better]

Are you sure? I'm feelin' pretty generous now which doesn't come often, you know?

[ That's a lie. He makes little snacks for the staff on daily basis. Sure they're made using scraps but between directing the sous chefs, cooking for customers, and baking cakes, who would have time to do that? ]

[immature]

[that makes Osomatsu grin]

You also were planning on pranking me, too, were't you? I dunno if I should trust your generosity.

[he's teasing]

[getting_better]

Oh boo! It's no fun if you figure out my plan!

[ He's joking of course. Maybe. ]

Fine. No jokes now. What do you want?

[immature]

I'm good, for real. Actually, I've gotten more than I needed for today.

[getting_better]

Mmmm...I see. Alright.

[ That's pretty normal for a young adult. The older you get the less things you want. Especially guys. ]

Then, instead of a gift, what wishes do you have for yourself? That's something you should have for yourself even at that age.

[immature]

[it's not that he wants less. Osomatsu loves gifts! but he doesn't want to show off his greedy side, especially after Bishop made him a freaking cake. he can't wait to dig into it]

Mmmn... I guess I can tell you stuff like that. [he rubs the back of his head] When I first got here, I really wanted to go home. And... I guess I still do? But I also made a lot of friends here, and I wish... I could have both places. Here, and home.

[getting_better]

[ He listened quietly, patiently, for Osomatsu to finish. The things he said, people can relate to. Bishop most especially. ]

That's a good wish.

[ One he's made countless times, though his used to have 'I want to forget' instead of both worlds. ]

Hold on to that. Ma used to tell me "if you dream it, it'll happen". [ He dipped his head and smiled sheepishly. ] Though I was never much of a dreamer. Are you a dreamer, Osomatsu-kun?

[immature]

Eh, it depends. [he grins, dropping his arm] I think, when I was younger, I used to dream more.

[getting_better]

Ahh! Don't give me that kind of half-ass pre-teen answer. You're nineteen! Almost an adult.

[ He stands up and pulled his chair closer until he was close enough to give him a hardy pat on the shoulder along with a little shake. ]

Stick your chest out and walk proud. Say what you mean and mean what you say! You want to have both places, then dream it! It's good to have them, even I still do. It's not a lot, or very grand, but I hold onto those things with my life. You should too!

[immature]

[he's a bit surprised by Bishop being so hyped up about this. he just said he was never much of a dreamer, but then said he had a dream to hold onto. so now Osomatsu is conflicted. he doesn't know what to say for a few seconds.

then he sighs through his nose, his brows furrowing]

If I could come and go easily, it'd be fun! To visit my family, to come back and see my friends here. That's what I want.

[getting_better]

[ Ah. So that's what he meant. He wishes he could do that too. ]

Well, that's certainly going to be difficult. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't, right? Maybe one day it'll come true.

[ Maybe. He can hope, or as he said, dream. ]
