Where: Various locations.
When: Early November
Warnings: n/a


I. SHOPPING ( open )

( ever since his friends had started to arrive in hadriel, akira had taken special note of the date. time played funny tricks on them in the caves, and he didn't plan on being caught off guard again. in tokyo, the last date he had noted was the 20th of November, he'd fallen into july somehow, and now four months later... he'd almost come to that day again.

but before the twentieth, something much more important had to happen. carefully walking through the aisles of various shops, akira seemed to be on the prowl for certain items in particular, and already lining his school bag was flour, sugar... and a few other smaller things.

reaching for a small vial of something, he read the label carefully... ) Hmm, vanilla...

II. SKULKING ( open )

( all right! finally everything was coming together. at last, akira had acquired the last item on his list, and it was time to head home. although he had become well-versed in the art of trying to avoid suspicion, something about the way he kept checking over his shoulder seemed out of the ordinary. like he was trying to avoid something, or maybe someone, in particular...

before crossing the street, he pressed himself against one of the buildings, maybe getting a little carried away with this whole sneaking thing. just a little. )

III. SIFT...ING? ( open: at his house )

( phew. he'd managed to make it back home with his precious items— treasures even you might say— without being spotted by one girl in particular. emptying the contents of his bag on the kitchen counter, akira felt a surge of pride as he looked his haul over, grinning as he moved his glasses back up the bridge of his nose. )

That should be everything. ( he nodded, reaching for an apron that he had also picked up somewhere along the way, and tying it around himself. it was ill-fitting but he did his best to make it work— thinking of how he'd worn one every time worked in leblanc's kitchen. ) Yes, all right! ( akira clapped his hands together ) Let's get started.

( this may or may not be worth watching... or helping. by the time anyone else arrives, there a streak of flour lined akira's cheek, and splashes of something else had made its way across his lenses. )

IV. SINGING. ( locked to ann & yusuke )

( everything was set. it may have been a little questionable how he'd let himself into ann's room without permission, but it was a temptation that a phantom thief couldn't pass up. what better place was there to surprise her anyway?

when she finally opens the door, she may find her team mates behind a lovely looking decorated cake, akira with his arms high in the air once he heard the knob start to turn and ready to shout out a— ) Surprise!

( and, wait for it, is he? yes, behind that smile, this leader of the phantom dorks starts into a joyful— ) ♪ Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you— !

V. SOMETHING! ( open )

( if you wanted to run into akira anywhere else during the month, let's make it happen! ota! )
