Of course.

So the five of us. What do you have in mind?

[purrtagonist]

Taking Yusuke out to eat, of course.

[best way to celebrate his birthday]

His birthday was during Selenium. Did you know?

[riderfist]

I didn't. He never said anything ...

[or maybe he was too distracted by what they saw in the mirrors?]

[purrtagonist]

I didn't know, either. I think he avoided saying anything because of Selenium.

[IN OTHER WORDS, YES]

We need to make up for it.

[riderfist]

Definitely. I wonder what would be an appropriate gift?

[purrtagonist]

[ART SUPPLIES, DUH]

Something that matches his aesthetic.

[riderfist]

[like so]

I don't know what he's got in short supply.

[purrtagonist]

[ARE WE GOING TO DRAW HIM THINGS. . . . . .]

He's always happy with snacks. He probably has plenty of art supplies, but I doubt he'd mind getting a few more. And fox-themed things?

[riderfist]

[that sounds like aesthetic]

Foxes? That's not too much, is it?

[purrtagonist]

[that's because it is]

Do you think so?

[riderfist]

There's not much reason to hide it here, but it still feels obvious.

[purrtagonist]

Only to us. Anyone looking in from the outside would just think he appreciates foxes.

[riderfist]

[has anyone ever asked him if he even likes foxes]

It is a beautiful mask...

[purrtagonist]

[probably not, but his vision of a rebel is a fox, so he probably thinks they're pretty rad]

It is. And it suits him really well.

[riderfist]

[what kind of person thinks foxes are nature's biggest rebels? artsy schmucks]

No one is denying that. I just don't know if it's a theme I can play on.

[purrtagonist]

[foxes are sly and clever, they make good rebels!!]

Fox-themed artwork, fox-themed decorations. . .

[riderfist]

[then why do they work with THE MAN? checkmate]

I'm not going to track down someone to carve a fox-shaped cake.

[purrtagonist]

I'll do it, then.

[he's got this!!]

[riderfist]

[LEADER.....................]

That aside, what are you planning for this? Something small, I know, but what about food? Things to do?

[purrtagonist]

Just dinner. The four of us, and Richard. At a restaurant of Richard's choosing, because Yusuke will only pick cheap places.

I don't think he really wants anything extremely elaborate, anyway.

[so a quiet gathering of all of them, plus the one person Yusuke has come to revere as extremely important during his time in Empatheias, should be enough]

[riderfist]

[okay but this team is either going broke or barely spending a dime on Futaba's birthfood]

No, of course not. It sounds nice. I didn't know if you were thinking of doing something after dinner.

[purrtagonist]

[DON'T BE SILLY WE ARE GOING TO SPEND JUST AS MUCH MONEY ON FUTABA'S BIRTHFOOD AS YUSUKE'S]

[so yeah we're going broke]

Nope. I think we can leave that up to Yusuke. Unless you had something in mind.

[riderfist]

[it's just going to be an entire turkey, isn't it]

It's only right that he gets to choose. But if you had something in mind, or you had a surprise in the works, I wanted to know before it happened.

[purrtagonist]

[maybe]

You're in the clear. If I did have something though, I'd tell you.

[riderfist]

We'll just have to see what he comes up with, then.
