 [Terriermon can be seen handling the D-T, setting it up before speaking. It seems today she is wearing a collar/choker with small rhinestones set into it. Neku can be seen in the background, playing a game on a handheld system of some sort]

Sooo, Neku was telling me not to mention his birthday today. BUT I was thinking-

[Neku curses at the game, something about 'I thought you LIKED cake Hanako!?'. Terriermon's ears perk, and she waits for him to get focused on his game again before continuing]

-since I WAS born for him, anything you all wanted to do for his hatching can come to ME instead! See, then everyone is happy! Neku can sulk and not do anything fun, and you guys' efforts won't be wasted!

[In the back: 'Wait... touch the screen... okay... this seems dirty, what kinda game IS this?!']

Hehe, he's so busy with his new game he probably totally forgot that he even told me.

[There's some rather happy female sounds in the background, and Neku is beet red]

...I think I won.

Oh... Oh, okay. Still, maybe now you could try with someone else, huh? Anyone else catch your eye?

[scratchitti]

Well I did kinda like-

Wait, no, no I'm not talking about this.

[interspace]

Why not? Sounds like you were having fun.

[scratchitti]

H-ha... I don't like these kinda games!

[interspace]

You know, there's nothing wrong with admitting you like something odd as long as you aren't doing something really creepy about it.

[ Misha's familiar with this sort of thing mostly because HEAVEN FORBID she would land in some kind of harem anime or eroge or something. She needs to recognize the signs, you see. Also they're hilarious. ]

[scratchitti]

[That makes Neku think of CAT's motto, and he straightens up, looking less panicky]

Huh, yeah, you're right! I really didn't mean to buy soft core porn though.

[ She gives an amused scoff. ]

Assuming that's true, is it too late to return it and get something a little tamer?

[scratchitti]

I tossed the receipt.

[interspace]

[ Why... would anyone ever throw away a receipt right after getting a game. Misha takes a moment to restart her brain here. ]

You know what? That's not a problem. One video game nerd to another, why don't we head down to the shop and see what else you might want?

[scratchitti]

Wha? N-no, I'm fine... [He tucks his chin down into his collar and looks very unsure]

[interspace]

C'mon, don't leave me hanging. What have you got to lose?

[scratchitti]

...fine. [le sigh]

[interspace]

Great! Meet you on the first floor?
