fortuneprince | 20th Case

[Do you know what today happens to be? Well do you?? It's Naoto's birthday of course! (Not that anyone would know besides two people) And she's spending it... not... exactly how she had originally planned. Instead of reading her heart away at the library, she's out and about in the village with a card in her hand, white lilies sticking out of her shoulder bag's pocket and a focused look on her face.

What is she doing? She's on a scavenger hunt of course! Sure it may seem a little childish but at least it's been slightly entertaining. Well... even if it wasn't, she couldn't just blow the whole thing off. She'd never forgive herself if she didn't investigate. Besides, there might be something interesting waiting for her at the end!

So throughout the entire day, Naoto will be wandering around the village (more specifically around the school, library and plaza) in search for her next clue. Where will you find her?]

[Locked to Roxas]

[After finding the sixth book, lily and clue, Naoto has found herself making her way up to the roof of the library. When she reaches the top, she's... half surprised and half not to see a certain person standing up there with her. But she won't let the surprise show. Instead, she smiles lightly.]

Roxas-kun.

...You can get that done here? Personal scavenger hunt service?

Not exactly. I believe this was arranged by a friend of mine. [A pause] As a sort of gift.

I see. Well, guess I was off base, then.

Why, is it your birthday or something, Shirogane?

...That is correct. [She had forgotten that is was her birthday for a moment]

Oh.

Well, happy birthday, Shirogane.

[Smiling] Thank you.

What're you turning?

Eighteen.

Big year, then.

['Also, didn't think you were that old. But then again, I didn't think you were female, so I guess my assumptions about you should really be in doubt.']

I suppose so. Though to be honest, I don't feel any different than I did the year before.

[She just shrugs a little]

No one ever does, right? They just look back five years later and realize it in retrospect.

That does appear to be the case. [Smiling, a bit amused by that]

If I may ask, how old are you, Kyon-kun?

Uh... Well, in terms of actual time, I guess sixteen and a half or so. But it seems like I skipped half a year in coming here.

Is that so? [Giving him a curious look] What was the date in your world when you left? Or rather, taken.

April 2011.

...Interesting. [The year and month shit went down back home]

What's so interesting about it?

Nothing that would peek your interests I'm sure. [SO ANYWAYS. Looking at that card again]

['... Was that a dismissal? And an insult at the same time? How economical.']

Okay. Well, if Shirogane says so I'm sure it's the final verdict. Good luck with the scavenging.

...Wait just a moment, Kyon-kun. [She's not looking at him still, but towards the school]

... Uh, what's up?

Do you happen to have anything planned for this evening?

['Where is this going, Shirogane.']

...No, I don't.

Then would you mind attending a small celebration this evening at Seventh Heaven? A friend of mine will be hosting a small birthday party for me. I told her I would invite a few people.

[Because Rise wanted to meet Roxas. But since she doesn't know Roxas is the one she likes... gotta invite more than just him. Keep her clueless!!!]

Oh-- Sure, I'd be happy to, Shirogane.

[...to be her disguise, apparently. Real cool, Naoto.]
