[There's actually just a note taped on Dante's door that reads NEED HELP PLANNING PARTY PLZ.]


to everyone.
Nobody here plays water glasses, right? [The look on Maya's face should tell you that this in, in fact, a Very Serious Question.] If you do, I kind of need your help. I can pay you? A little bit?

[Maya taps her lip, like she's thinking.] I would also appreciate your help if you happen to play keys or drums. [Snapping her fingers, Maya grins.] Oh! Or xylophone piano. Or bass.

Actually, if you play any kind of instrument, even if it's the kazoo, and you wouldn't mind helping me with something super important then I would super appreciate it if you responded.

[Headtilt.] Cam's birthday is on the 5th.

He didn't tell you. [That's not a question, that's a statement.] Don't worry, I only know because his birthday is so close to mine.

[scratchitti]

It's Cam, are you surprised? Though with everything that's happened he might not even realize it himself.

So what's the gift? Like, a party?

[eatmybow]

Not really. I mean, you're right. He forgot and only remembered when I told him.

And I'm throwing a party, but I also . . . wrote . . . him . . . a song. [IT'S AWKWARD SAYING THAT OUT LOUD.] So that's why I need the band.

[scratchitti]

...

Holy shit, that's adorable.

[Neku honestly seems too touched on Cam's behalf to censor himself to his normal Cool Guy attitude]

Well... I can't even play spoons, so I'm kinda useless there. But if you need any help otherwise...

[eatmybow]

Hey, spoons can be really difficult! [She says this with 100% seriousness. Maya's really, horrendously bad at anything that doesn't have strings.] But, um. There's a lot of party stuff that still needs to be planned, so I'd really love if you helped with that.

[scratchitti]

Got it. Leave it to me.

[eatmybow]

You're amazing. [It's possible Maya had been more stressed out about the party itself than putting together a band to play her song.] Thankyouthankyouthankyou.

[scratchitti]

It's not that big of a deal. I can pull it off as my part of his present or something.

[eatmybow]

You know, Cam's really lucky to have a friend like you. He didn't . . . have too many friends, back home. [She feels kiiiiiiiind of like she's saying too much, but.] I'm glad he has such good ones here.

[scratchitti]

[Neku turns bright cherry red, turning away slightly]

I'm.... not exactly the most social guy either, back home. Cam is... probably my best friend.

[eatmybow]

He's a good guy to have as your best friend. [Maya grins.] Except for when we're all acting a little crazy, but I don't think any of us were that pleasant to be around then.
