Happy Birthday, Bocchan.

[yanagi_renji]

 In honour of our master's birthday, we have arranged for a quiet gathering for an evening of foreign films at the apartment. Dinner and refreshments will be served. Antagonism of the staff or other guests is strictly disallowed. 

In addition, Tezuka-sama, we have left two surprises for you. It is your choice which to open first.

[ooc: Tezuka receives two hampers, identically wrapped. One holds gag gifts and the other the real presents for Tez.

Gag basket: 

Arthur contributes: A lavender nightie, sexy underwear, edible body paint (variety pack!), fuzzy lavender handcuffs
Yanagi contributes: A banana guard, a can of spray tan, a lavender feather boa

Real presents:

They both contribute: The title deed to Tez's new library :|
Arthur contributes: A rare book that Tez has been looking for
Yanagi contributes: A set of antique calligraphy pens and a bottle of homemade umeshu ]

Was the lavender really necessary?

Also, when can I see it? I'll rearrange my schedule accordingly. Meaning, clear it entirely.

(ooc: someone is excited about the library... >.> // strikes deleted)

[yanagi_renji]

We thought you should match Keigo-sama, so yes, it was necessary.

You can see it anytime you wish. It belongs to you now, after all.

[seriousaura]

We've discussed my dislike previously.

Today then. Now.

(ooc: strikes deleted)

[yanagi_renji]

Yes. It was a gag gift, after all.

I'll have the car brought around, then.

[seriousaura]

I am aware.

I can drive if you do not wish to.

[yanagi_renji]

The banana guard is very practical. Please do use it.

I can hardly allow my master to exert himself thus. Rest assured that I have been practicing.

[seriousaura]

I really don't believe so.

It doesn't bother me any.

[yanagi_renji]

You can carry a banana around without fear of squashing it. Bananas are very nutirious snacks, master.

As you wish.

[seriousaura]

They have an overpowering flavour.

Aa.

[imbluedabade]

But lavender is so lovely with your skin tone, Bocchan.

[seriousaura]

I think you've been talking with my mother too much.

[imbluedabade]

Your mother is such an intelligent woman. I could speak with her for hours on end.

I'm assuming I should pack your dinner to go for the library?

[seriousaura]

I know she is and I could as well, if she avoided the topics of clothing and my eating habits.

Unless you wish to come with.

[imbluedabade]

Mothers do tend to find those topics particularly stimulating.

Unless you plan to eat me, I think I will need to pack you a dinner regardless of whether or not I attend.

[seriousaura]

It is terribly annoying.

I do not believe in cannibalism, Arthur. Are there restaurants around the library?

[imbluedabade]

Oh, I agree. However it is quite entertaining to watch someone else suffer at the hands of their mother. You should try it sometime.

A fact for which I am grateful. Hm, perhaps. Would you be willing to leave the books long enough to go out to eat?

[seriousaura]

I think I'll pass.

Probably not, but that doesn't mean you and Yanagi cannot bring something back.

[imbluedabade]

I can pack a picnic for the three of us, to eat on the library floor.

[seriousaura]

That also works.

[imbluedabade]

It will give me opportunity to use my Hello Kitty cookie cutters on the sandwiches.

[seriousaura]

Aa.
