004 ☆ [Video/Locked from Ilya]

[paopuprincess]

So Ilya's birthday is Saturday. I've recruited a bunch of her pokemon and we've got the decorations ready to go up. But...

I don't have a present yet! That's pretty much the most important part! What do you even get for someone like her? I don't know.

[She pauses for a little bit.]

Also, Xion, Nami, we should coordinate our outfits so we all look great.

[heartdive]

You could always do what I do what I don' know what to get.

[paopuprincess]

Whine?

[heartdive]

[ OPENS MOUTH TO OBJECT... but no. it's pretty accurate. so instead he crosses his arms and huffs. ]

Some TMs more like.

[paopuprincess]

Aw, come on, it's Ilya, it's gotta be something more personal than that.

[She taps her chin.]

What would you get if it was my birthday?

[heartdive]

Hey. Picking the right TM can be pretty hard... And it's not like you're Ilya, so I wouldn't get her the same thing I'd get you.

[paopuprincess]

You didn't answer the question. [She gives him a little smile.]

[heartdive]

I can't actually tell you, Kairi. It'd be ruining any future surprises, wouldn't it?

[islandshore]

You could always ask her. Just try to be sneaky about it-- see if there's anything she can't live without.

[He shrugs.]

Or I guess you could get her some music CDs? New clothes? Jewelry? Girls like that stuff, right?

[paopuprincess]

I'm worried she'd see through it. I really want it to be a surprise.

I guess I could get her girl stuff. Hm.

[islandshore]

Celadon is pretty big on fashion. Plenty of shops to choose from. Plus, there's always stuff like perfume, makeup... Flowers, I guess? Though usually it's the guys who are supposed to give gifts like that.

[paopuprincess]

Would it be weird to get her flowers on her birthday? Perfume, maybe.

[She is putting way too much thought into this.]

[islandshore]

Maybe a little weird if you go for the flowers, but that's mostly because they're usually gifts for couples.

[Heh, heh... couples.

Oh man.

He still needs to...

Cough. He might've averted his eyes for a second.]

But they don't have to be, and if anyone gives you a hard time, they'll have to deal with me.

[paopuprincess]

Couples. Huh.

[Man, would that be too sappy? Ilya would see right through that.]

Maybe a little bouquet would be okay.

video; BACKDATE LIKE CRAZY

[dangerousidol]

Ilya is having a birthday this Saturday?

[Wow, that's so close to hers...]

You could always get her some cute clothes.

oh there you are

[paopuprincess]

Yeah but I'm not really sure she'd like what I pick out for her. Her taste is pretty unique.

[dangerousidol]

She looks like the frilly dress type. Like Lolita. Or maybe something more modern... What kind of clothes do you like? Maybe get something like that?

[paopuprincess]

I think she'd rather see me in her style than her in mine.

[Not that she wants to give her any ideas.]

[dangerousidol]

Hmm... she wore some clothes that I saw in the vintage area of a store I was in. So... try finding a section like that in the department store?

[She's not a vintage girl. But she'll help.]

I think you'd be adorable in pretty much anything!

[paopuprincess]

[She plays it off with a wave.] Ilya seems to think so too. I'm not that stylish, really.

[seasaltkey]

Uh...

[He hasn't... formally met Kairi. This is awkward.]

I don't think Ilya likes me much.

[paopuprincess]

Why not? I thought Ilya liked everybody.

[Especially if you're tiny and look like her.]

[seasaltkey]

I... kind of made her mad.

[Sometimes he really hates being like Sora.]

[paopuprincess]

By... doing what?

[seasaltkey]

.......

[Well then.]

When she said she was a lady, I kind of questioned it. I didn't mean to! She surprised me.

[paopuprincess]

Do you mean, like, a fancy person, or just a woman?

[Because the first one is forgivable.]
