WHO: Any and all friends of Masaomi/anyone who happens to be on the beach! Invitations would’ve gone out via a (handwaved) secret entry or word of mouth.
WHAT: Masaomi’s birthday party, planned by Shikamaru-Gold-Ikki.
WHEN: Wednesday, June 19th.
WHERE: The beach!
SUMMARY: BEACH BIRTHDAY BASH. It’s pretty simple.
RATING: B FOR BIRTHDAY.

So after being reminded about Masaomi’s birthday, Gold came up with a much better idea than Shikamaru’s (lame) sit-down dinner! Therefore welcome to an all-dayish surprise beach birthday party! There are tables for presents and food, there is music (chosen by the boys, not by Ikki), and there is a sand castle city, complete with sandscrapers, which is what Gold put Ikki in charge of. The sand castle city has gotten a little out of hand because of this.

So stop by, wish Masaomi a happy birthday, and HAVE FUN. While there are three topic threads, FEEL FREE AND ENCOURAGED to just throw up your character at the party below that/anywhere, as per always.

Event? [...Oh, wasn't there some kind of speed-dating thing people signed up for? Gosh, he nearly forgot about that.] No, not really. That sort of event might be a little too strong for my tastes...

[Or awkward, more like--we are not a "ladies man" like how Ash's previous companion was, so the subject of "romance" (when it involves us personally) isn't really something he specializes in as a Connoisseur right now??]

Eeeeh, what, you're not into the ladies? [A beat.] ...Or dudes. Or whatever, they told me I got's to be tolerant for this one.

[Masaomi...]

No--I don't think about things like that very often, to be honest. [Sure, he can acknowledge if someone is attractive, but otherwise he doesn't normally give that much thought into the idea of dating people...]

Could it be that you're one of those late bloomers?! Cilan-san, say it isn't so?! Do I have to get you a date?!

[And in fact with some flourish, he moves to put an arm around the guy. ...Come to think of it, he's not positive if Cilan's that much older than him or not, honestly. Or if he is at all]

[Who even knows, ages in Pokemon are so weird and vague--for all we know you're probably about the same age as him by now or otherwise. It's possible Cilan doesn't think too often about aging or that sort of thing regarding whether he's "late" to this or not either--he'd be a little awkward regarding the subject at hand anyway, like he is now. (But he's trying to remain polite nonetheless)]

That's--um, nice of you to offer your assistance Masaomi, but you don't have to do that... [Really...]

No, Cilan-san, I exist! In fact, after our first training session, we're going to go- [DRAMATIC PAUSE] Hit on girls!

[Masaomi, why. Pansage meanwhile, at first was kind of sharing the mutual awkwardness, but now it might be trying to keep a straight face...]

Ah...well, I suppose I should wish you good luck with that endeavor...

[Nope, totally not pretending that you didn't mean for us to be included for that too...]

And I wish you like when you join us!! [Yeah!! Yeah...!!!!!]

When I--? [Oh, you'd want us to go hit on girls with you too? Cilan...has surprisingly little experience on that so he can't help but feel slightly awkward...] My apologies, but I can't quite foresee that particular taste coming to fruition....

[Fancy way of trying to say "don't be surprised if we attempt to bail on you from that" if you attempt to drag him out to do so later--Pansage that better not be the sound of you trying to hold back laughter right now.]

Are you sure?! I think I can feel it already in my mouth, and it tastes like... soy sauce.

[SEE.

HE CAN

DO THIS TOO.

YOU SEE. Snap snap]

[That...makes even less sense than what usually comes out of our mouth, Masaomi...]

Soy sauce? [Uh...] I'm not sure if I can agree with that taste...

So what taste would you say?

[He actually looks thoughtful for a second before he frowns--this isn't really his area of expertise, and it kind of shows from his lack of a definitive answer.] I'd say that it's something a little more sweet and sour than that, perhaps...

I hope you don't mean the sweet and sour beef, my man.

Ahaha, no, not exactly. I meant that it's a taste that varies for some people--some enjoy certain aspects of romance, but others that are inexperienced with it may taste the sourness of it more than the sweetness of it at first...

[In other words, he thinks you'd get more enjoyment out of hitting on girls than he would at the moment since we have little experience with flirting that wasn't mostly unintentional...]

Mmm. I could see how that works. It's a little depressing to think of it like that, if you ask me.

[But he drops it, shrugging and instead just shaking his head] But okay, okay.

Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean for it to sound like that. [If you had asked about romance where it didn't concern us specifically, then yeah, he could probably talk at length about it or even give a little advice, at least when it comes to judging the love life of someone's Pokemon. Asking Cilan about the idea of dating or flirting with people himself, however, makes him feel really awkward. Still...] Besides, even though I'm not as familiar with it myself, I'm sure that this is a taste that can ripen someday with a little more time and experience.

[~~Just don't take that as an invitation to try to get him a girlfriend I MEAN UH~~]

Hey, no objections here, Cilan-san! Everyone's got their own shynesses and comfort levels. The pace between two people can be radically different.

[Which is why he'll help you out]
