012th Meatbun ☼ Voice / Action

[the_brightest_sun]

[The message is sent in the morning after the kid wakes up and he's still lazing around the living room of the apartment.]

Ne, ne, today is April 9th, right? I didn't mess up with the calendar, did I? Everyone was talking we lost a day the last week and I couldn't remember so I went ahead and took off a sheet from the calendar, so today is the 9th, isn't it?

Ah, but if that's not it then it's the 8th? Then today is my birthday! Or it was yesterday, I don't know. But i doesn't matter because now I'm an adult!

[Goku laughs proudly. Yes, he's so much of an adult! Because now he's two years old, see? Now he has yearS, in plural, like all the adults do.]

Niisan said that all adults are irresponsible and don't need to sleep much so now that I'm now I can stay up late playing and drawing!!

[Such a mature mindset. Anyway, let him think if there's anything else he wants to say or ask. Ah, right.]

Ah! Before I forget! There's going to be a festival, right? This Saturday, the Starfish Festival, I think. Anyone knows if I can have an okonomiyaki stand? I could cut the okonomiyaki so it has a star shape! It will be delicious! And tons of fun, I love the festivals here, there aren't boring speeches like in Heavens. And there's no people who badmouths my friends, too...

By the way, anyone knows what's a "pedophile"? One of my friends was called that once, I'm sure it's something bad but I don't really get it.

[He will stop rambling at Luceti's ears for now. But before he leaves he spends a bit more of time making a pretty drawing-advertisment. Okay, the "pretty" part is subjective.

After that he will be at the okonomiyaki restaurant for anyone who wants to eat or pay a visit to him.]

[...ignoring that last part in favor of a much happier topic.]

Happy birthday, Goku!

[rollypolyclover]

You're an adult now?! What did you do?! Are you going to wear a suit and go to work a-and stop buying low-price tofu from the store?!

[QUESTIONS. Happy Birthday comes later.]

[positivelycharged]

You're an adult?

[shadedsunlight]

Happy birthday, Goku!

[But urk! How to explain pedophile. Hmm....]

[voice]

[justicereigns]

Happy birthday.

A pedophile is someone attracted to kids. [Just so blunt.]

[neverplaysfair]

Pedophiles wish to do things with children that children shouldn't be doing.

[geniustheveil]

Happy Birthday. I hope you were able to celebrate it well.

[Homura's response to most of it is little more than a soft laugh; that Goku can be so happy here is a pleasant thing. Unfortunately, the demi-god doubts it will stay that way for the boy for long.

Unlike most, he addresses the last question. It isn't hard to guess just which of his friends likely got addressed in such a way.]

Konzen, I suppose?

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Happy birthday! Are you doing anything special to celebrate?

[ action ]

[deceases]

[ Lazing around in the living room, huh? Guess who's standing directly behind where you're sitting, listening to the whole thing.. It's a good thing Natsuno doesn't give two shits about reputation, so he doesn't even mind that Goku is saying he said all adults are irresponsible..

Still, it's.. weird, after the experiment. It's almost as if he had a dream, a dream that lasted an entire week, where he was human again, had his chances back, but.. it was nothing but a dream.

He tries to shove the thought aside as he finally speaks up once Goku is done. ]

You're supposed to tell people it's your birthday in advance, you know. [ NOT THAT HE WANTED TO GIVE HIM A PRESENT OR ANYTHING!! ]
