[Okay. Ren's sent the message to Makoto. She's trusting him that whatever he sent? Will be sufficient enough to keep Makoto's attention from her half of the plan. She doesn't have nearly as much to work with but, Eh. She'll make do.

The first part of the message is audio.

And it starts off with the sound of a rubber horn. You'll get a second or two to be baffled or confused or startled at the sound before Futaba starts talking.]

Soooo...

Now that I've got your attention, do any of you all know Makoto Nijima? Well if you don't you should, because she's really awesome. And if you do, you should know that today is actually her birthday! Weird time paradoxes aside We don't care. We're celebrating anyway.

And since it's her birthday and she's probably not gonna do anything herself otherwise, we're gonna throw her a party! Because she's awesome and totally deserves one. So if you happen to be in the area of Arito make sure to stop by and wish her a good one! Or just do it here if you're not I guess.

I've attached the information, so you can't miss it! Also if you see her on the way there don't say anything.

That's it! See ya!

[And true to her word, attached is as follows:]

Wish Makoto a happy birthday!
Location: [place]
When: Today, duh.

[There also are a bunch of other little birthday-related ascii images and emoticons that she could find and/or make decorating the post. It seems Futaba really went as all out as she could for this.

ooc; Futaba will not be replying too much unless there are any direct inquiries or noteworthy replies. Beyond that, kindly direct your attention to the actual party! ]

[Most his words lead that way, nothing new.]

I don't want an invite. It's expecting too much, that sort of burden. It's not as if living another year is something worth celebrating in such a loud way. Its garish to make such a big deal of it.

Not to mention, last minute.

You work with what you got

...I guess the glitter text is a little tacky. [ Spoilers she knew it was tacky when she added it to the post. ] I could try to take it down if you feel that strongly about it.

[ The glittertext, not the whole post.

If he happens to get the sense that she's fucking with him: he's right. ]

I only felt strongly enough to tell you how rude you're being and that you should consider others as well.

[A rather hypocritical comment coming from him, he never really thought about how others would take what he did.]

[ Oh god yeah she can't. She can't just let that lie. It's enough to bring her out of troll mode for a moment. ]

So, it's not rude to come into a linkshell post you had no obligation to look at and complain, along with telling someone you don't even know that their friend's birthday doesn't matter? On that birthday?

[ Nevermind what the friend thinks. ]

seriously you don't have to come to the party if you don't want to sheesh

No? It's stating a fact. If things aren't pointed out the problem will never be known. Birthdays only matter to those who are close to the person, if they even care about such trivial events in the first place. Why advertise it to everyone? It's not like it's a holiday or festival. All it does is make other people uncomfortable. Isn't that rude? Isn't that the definition of being rude? Putting people in a position where they're being put upon by another person's expectations?

[It was just awkward to be expected to celebrate a strangers birthday.]

Even if you begged me I wouldn't go. I'm not the sort of person to go out of their way to ruin someone's birthday.

[ She could uh. Actually answer all of his questions seriously if she wanted? Like... she legitimately has answers for a lot of those. But uh. She's had more than her fair share of online arguments before and dude this ain't worth it. He's convinced he's right, she's convinced she's right, and they aren't going to get anywhere. But as far as she's concerned, he's taking this way too seriously. And being, yeah, rude, all in the bargain. ]

You know there's this old adage from the interent

it goes "don't like don't read"

[It was different. This wasn't the same as the internet, it was more like being loud in a public forum that was awkward to ignore. And though he could ignore it... somehow he felt a little bitter. Birthdays.... It wasn't as if anyone would ever want to celebrate his, even if his class were here. So perhaps a little bitterness on that soon to be date was colouring his opinion.]

"The stake that sticks up gets hammered down."

[ you and what army ]

it's like we're making up for all our (generally) positive CR in LifeAftr in one fell swoop...

He's funny that way, easy to get along with on one hand, extremely difficult on another.
