Second Cord; Audio, Locked from Hostiles

[sakedrinking]

Another year... I should just wait and see what happens...

What are you muttering about, Phasco? ... and why is my D-Comm on?

Well she's gotten more observant at least... [Phasco clears his throat] Don't you know what today is?

... oh! April 1st already? A year passes quickly, doesn't it?

Uhuh...

[aaaawkward silence]

... what? What is it? ... why are you staring at me like that?

Wait for it...

[another fairly long silence]

I'm forgetting something again, aren't I?

[This time there's no answer from Phasco. He's just staring at his partner.]

... April 1st. April 1st. Eto... eto eto...

... AH! WATANUKI-KUN! TETO-CHAN! THEIR BIRTHDAYS!

Right on time. This is becoming a bad habit for you, Haku.

Sh-shut up! I have to think of something! I-I'll be back later!

[There's a bit of scrambling, Haku grabbing her D-Comm as she runs out the door. Phasco can be heard sighing and speaking one last time before she gets out the door.]

It's just not an April 1st without Haku flipping her shit...

Onizuka-san! It's okay, really! I can help? Maybe?

[onisensei]

Damn she forgot again? I owe you ten bits Gobs.

I'll just add that to the fifty you still owe me shall I?

[sakedrinking]

Oh... will you, Nade-chan? I would really appreciate it...

[sakedrinking]

... y-you... were taking bets on it... ? Mouuu...

[onisensei]

In my defense sweetie? I always bet on you. <3

[sakedrinking]

But this was a mean bet!

[onisensei]

It's only mean from his side. I was betting that you would remember because I believe in you. And because he's a jerk he gets to sleep in the hallway tonight.

Hey no fair!!!

[illuminatings]

I could provide any services you'd like, if you want.

[sakedrinking]

[quiet giggle] Thank you, Eikichi...

[ audio ]

[sakedrinking]

Eto...

[That voice sounds familiar]

Hoshi-chan... ? I heard you were back... nii-chan said you're not the same Hoshi-chan, though...

[ audio ]

[illuminatings]

That would be... Sanders-san, right? If so, he would be correct, however I'm trying my best to reforge the bonds my previous self had made with everyone else.

[ audio ]

[sakedrinking]

Mhm.

I'm glad you are... he really missed you when you left. It happened at the same time his wife and daughter went home, too...

[sonicheart]

... Do you need help quickly preparing something, Haku?

[sakedrinking]

U-uhm... Nade-chan is going to help me with Watanuki-kun... but I need something for Teto-chan...

[sonicheart]

Ah. I... Huh.

I dunno what'd be appropriate for her.

[sakedrinking]

... me either. This is her first birthday back with our family.

[sonicheart]

... Yeah that's... Uh, not a good combination... Crap.

[sakedrinking]

No it isn't! What am I supposed to do?!

[sonicheart]

C-Calm down. Maybe just stick to some old standbys - cake and such. The thought's what counts, a-and... Uh...

... *Lori's now totally drawing a blank.*

[sakedrinking]

O-okay... I can make a cake... cake is good...

[last_lombax]

[Clicks on and all Haku can hear is Ratchet's laughter.]

[Audio]

[sakedrinking]

Mouuu...

[renaicirculation]

I will! I'll be over as soon as I can so we can discuss it!

[sonicheart]

Let's go with that then!

Lessee... Erm, if you have any recipes you use often, just uh... Lemme know and I can get any ingredients not already handy to you in 15?

[ audio ]

[illuminatings]

... So I see.

Do you think that doing something might cheer him up?
