-3- [Phone/Action, backdated to the 30th] Happy birthday, Chie!

[counterstrikes]

[Phone--Yosuke Hanamura, Souji Seta, Rise Kujikawa, Kanji Tatsumi]

Well...it looks like nothing happened. Looks like Yosuke's just got bad luck. Well...if anyone wants to do something, I guess today's the day to do it.

[Phone--Public]So, about those packages that this town sends you...whatever they're called. I've got a question. Has anyone ever

action--park

[doudemoe]

[Ah, the park. With its lush green grass in this simulation, it's a nice spot to get a brief moment of peace. Minato's gotten used to coming here when he needs time awa--

...Is that ...Chie? Who just kicked that tire into space?]

[counterstrikes]

[Not space. What goes up, must come down...most likely on a roof or a drone, thankfully. Chie's not about to get hung up on that detail.

She's pleased to see Minato as well. Well, anyone familiar, really.]

Minato-kun! Yo.

[doudemoe]

[Mayfield has no idea what they've wrought. Minato's face returns to his normal deadpanness, though internally he's still amazed.]

Afternoon Chie-san.

...Training?

[counterstrikes]

Yeah. It's not like I can really let my guard down here. Besides, I do it at home all the time.

What about you? What brings you to the park today, I mean.

[princeofjunes]

Lucky you.

Well, congrats Chie! And Happy Birthday. I'll drop by with your present later.

[phone]

[counterstrikes]

Knowing this place, it's not going to last.

Oh, just...wait a while before you do, okay? I've got a few things to do today.

[princeofjunes]

Hey, have some confidence! Bad things don't happen all the time. Besides, enjoy it while we can, right?

That's fine. Later tonight sound good?

[counterstrikes]

Not all the time. Just most of it. But things have calmed down lately...maybe it's a sign.

I should be home around the middle of the afternoon, so that works for me. I'll be stopping by a few places.

[gonnamarrydaddy]

Whoooooaaaaa! That was awesome!

[counterstrikes]

[This is no time for modesty. Chie feels pretty great knowing she can do that.]

You think so? It's pretty useful. I didn't know anyone was watching, though.

[gonnamarrydaddy]

Yeah! Even the guys on the soccer team at home can't kick that hard!

[counterstrikes]

I'm pretty sure I can kick harder than just about anyone my age. I've been training ever since I was a kid.

[ Action ] - 338 Brady

[inababanchou]

[ And whenever Chie returns she'll see Souji loitering around in her front yard. He has a filled burlap sack that stands at least knee-high next to him... ]

Re: [ Action ] - 338 Brady

[counterstrikes]

Chief!

[She sees him while she's still a good distance away, so she runs over to him after shouting his...well, that's as good as a name.]

I didn't know you'd be coming by. I didn't keep you waiting long, did I?

[ Action ] - 338 Brady

[inababanchou]

[ Actually Souji wasn't expecting on Chie not being around when he showed up, so he's been loitering for a good hour. But that isn't something he wants to bring up. Instead he smiles warmly when Chie calls out to him. ]

Happy Birthday Chie.

[counterstrikes]

[Chie looks down at the sack, and then up Souji. She was kind of vague on the phone, she didn't think anyone other than Yosuke knew.]

So...Yosuke told you, huh? Thanks, haha...it seems kind of silly, but July 30th still feels like my birthday, you know? Even here.

[poisonivyforyou]

I did. It was rather useful in the end.

Phone

[counterstrikes]

What did you end up using it for?

Phone

[poisonivyforyou]

The picture? For nothing. But you might want to try touching it.

[counterstrikes]

I did...but it doesn't seem to do anything. Is it supposed to?
