[Yes, he fails at filters.]

General question for all of you. What would you-...

[No, that's not a good idea. He doesn't need that, she has told him several times, right? She likes books, which means a book is probably the best gift, he doesn't need to ask what to give her. A book will do. She also liked the plushies he gave her before so there's that, maybe he can get a teddy bear for her on top of it, since if she loves books that much she probably has read a lot of them.

Then again, maybe that only applies to the ones in her world, and there are way too many books in the world to read them all anyway. Yes, that sounds like a good question. He clears his throat a bit.]

Book recommendations. Anyone knows of interesting books to read? Novels, tales, science, any theme will do.

[She probably will enjoy it either way so... Should he ask that it won't be too complicated? No, even if she reads them to him as well he can ask if he doesn't get something. It's a gift just for her after all.]

[Rubs his chin.] May? It was a week after I started dating Grell.

[uccellodifuoco]

I said summer. It has to be from June onwards, May is still spring.

[justicereigns]

When were the new feathers that time?

Wait. This is stupid. Let's just check the journal. [Flips his open to look for things.]

[uccellodifuoco]

The New Feathers? January, March, May... On July for summer would be the New Feather's cycle. Unless it changes.

[Counting with his fingers. Good thing he goes to basically all the New Feathers parties, easy to keep track of it.]

[justicereigns]

[Pulls up a post.]

Hah. May 6th. And that was right after the event because I thought I left my socks with Labrador when we were married.

[uccellodifuoco]

[Just eying the journal.]

What are you trying to prove with that? We were talking about Selphie's birthday not about where you left your socks and underwear after an experiment.

[justicereigns]

That was the experiment you were siblings with Selphie, wasn't it?

[uccellodifuoco]

Ah, that's what you meant? Yes, the experiment was at the end of April.

[justicereigns]

Maybe she has a post about her birthday...

[Yup. Whatever else he was doing before is forgotten for now.]

[uccellodifuoco]

Like what, "hey it's my birthday, congratulate me"? She doesn't need that.

[justicereigns]

No. Didn't her boyfriend throw her a surprise party? I think she might have had one after that.

[uccellodifuoco]

[A surprise party? He doesn't recall, did he go? Or maybe he didn't...]

I don't remember... If I didn't go I probably didn't learn about it and if I went... Those parties are always the same anyway.

[Because he always stays as a wall flower.]

[justicereigns]

Yeah... [A shrug.]

I'll find it out later. [When he sits and journal surfs.]

[uccellodifuoco]

Maybe I should just go and ask her directly.

[justicereigns]

But then she'd know we're up to something.

Wait. Are we?

[uccellodifuoco]

[Frowning.]

Do you really think any of us is the "party planner" type?

[justicereigns]

Hell no.

She has trouble just dragging us there.

[Shrugs.] We could still get her something.

[uccellodifuoco]

A gift? She can get whatever she wants here whenever she wants. What's the point of a gift anyway? It's just some random thing that gets "emotional value" and becomes a burden because of it, never wanting to throw it away or lose it. As if we didn't have better things to do than to worry about objects.

[Three guesses for who doesn't think much of gifts. And for the amount of gifts he has ever had.]

[justicereigns]

Well, I made Kirimi a book.

[Shrugs. Smoker's presents consists of cigars, booze, and socks. All are used B)] And we have a lot of time to get working.

[uccellodifuoco]

[Ikki hums lightly, not convinced.]

I still don't see the points of gifts.

[justicereigns]

What about foodstuffs?

[uccellodifuoco]

Cake? She will probably get more than enough, I'm not sure I want to contribute to her cavities, though I suppose it's the best option.

[justicereigns]

It doesn't have to be something sweet. What's her favorite foods? Or she likes fireworks, right?

[uccellodifuoco]

I don't recall anything in particular that she liked... All the times I've offered to get her something it has been cake or pastries or similar.

She likes fireworks, yes but that's a bit too much, isn't it?

[justicereigns]

[Shrugs.] We could probably put together something similar.
