Alright, my birthday's in a few days! This one's a big one, too—I'm gonna be eighteen! Which means I'm either throwing a party at my place or I'm pulling out all the stops and doing something huge someplace else!

[Sounds exciting, right? But hold onto your hats, there's a catch.]

Problem is...I don't got any ideas!

[There we go, that sounds about right. Josuke, you slacker, you're supposed to plan this shit ahead of time!]

This'll be the second birthday I've celebrated here, but...a lot's different from when I first arrived.

[The faces, it's the faces that are mostly different. A lot of people that Josuke knows have come and gone, and that makes this birthday one that will be largely different from the last. Which is kind of the reason he wants it to be special in the first place, something he can do while surrounded by all the friends he's made here, the family he's got left, and maybe even some new folks, too. The other part of course having everything to do with the fact he'll finally be a legal adult and that's pretty fucking awesome! Who doesn't wanna do something exciting for that?]

So I got to thinking, maybe while I'm asking around to see if people are even gonna be free, you guys could tell me a little about what you like to do for birthdays? And let me know if you wanna come along and all, too.

More the merrier!

shit i guess it kinda does seem like that, huh? but it's not what i was going for!

[deadtective]

That's why you waited until three days before, right? Very sneaky!

[unbreaker]

i wasn't waiting for this i just wasn't thinking about it!

[deadtective]

Bullshit you weren't! You just said up there what a big fucking number it was!

[it's not his birthday yet, she's allowed to mercilessly hassle him for her own amusement still.]

[unbreaker]

that doesn't mean anything shut up! i've been busy and i haven't even thought about it with all this school shit going on!

[deadtective]

Oh, sure, you definitely haven't been sitting around in class and staring out the window all "when I'm eighteen I can just fuck right out of here and drive around in stupid circles all the way down the gulf coast" or anything. Totally believable.

[unbreaker]

no

i haven't

because i still need a stupid license to do that

technically

[deadtective]

What, counting on getting pulled over a lot? You could probably cut down on that if you remember which side of the road you're supposed to be on.

[unbreaker]

SHUT UP???????

I KNOW WHICH SIDE TO DRIVE ON

[Yeah, now.]

[deadtective]

Sure, but in which country?

[unbreaker]

what do you know you don't even have a car you don't get to have an opinion about this!

[deadtective]

So what you're saying is that you definitely nearly got flattened by a truck going the other way recently. Oh - or did they tow that boat of yours 'cause you parked on the wrong fucking side of the street?

[unbreaker]

whoa whoa
that's a classic cadi not a boat

[Meaning yes, he was almost flattened...but it wasn't that recent! He's doing better! Honestly!]

[deadtective]

[there's a reason no one wants to drive with you, Josuke.]

If you wanted to have a yacht party all you'd need to do is drive it into a lake.

[unbreaker]

...





hazel you're a genius

1/2

[deadtective]

[should she tell him that she was kidding? after all, Josuke could fix any horrible damage, but it would probably also break his tiny dumbass heart to watch the car sink into the murky waters on his birthday - not to mention having to pay for someone to tow it out.




...]

[deadtective]

Somebody's gotta contribute some good shit to this stupid party if you're not going to, dude. You're lucky I'm not charging.

[unbreaker]

[Oh, Hazel, your boyfriend's not that dumb.]

now i gotta find a yacht rental

you don't know anyone with a boat do you?

[deadtective]

[SHE HONESTLY ISN'T SURE ABOUT THAT]

Do I look like the kind of person that people talk to about their fucking expensive toys?

[unbreaker]

...good point.

[deadtective]

Wow, thanks for the vote of confidence.

[unbreaker]

...

do you wanna drive the car hazel? you can drive the car if it'll make you happy

[deadtective]

It'll make me pretty fucking happy, but I don't think you'd feel the same way about it.

[unbreaker]

as long as you bring back all the pieces it should be okay

[What, did you think he'd come along for the ride?]

[deadtective]

[WOW THIS IS REALLY CONFIDENCE-BOOSTING]

Why would I want to do that?
