[Text] Gifts 5/5

[beneathmoonlight]

Hello everyone!

I know that things are a bit...strange right now, but I thought it might be nice to take everyone’s mind off of stuff, even if it’s only for a few minutes.

What’s the best gift you’ve ever received? And the best one you’ve given?

Oh, and it’s my birthday I guess, which is why I thought of this question! I don’t plan on doing much of anything to celebrate though, so I’d love to read your responses!

You're really underselling it.

I think the best one I've ever gotten was a photo album. You'd have to ask the people I've given stuff to for the other question.

Happy birthday, I didn't realize there were so many of them in May.

[beneathmoonlight]

Thank you! I guess it’s a pretty common birth month.

A photo album? That’s so nice! You can put your most precious memories inside.

It’s hard for me to pick a favorite gift...

Maybe a book signed by an author I really admire.

[beneathmoonlight]

Really? Nice!

I turn nineteen today. I’d ask how old you are, but that seems rude.

[thesettingsun]

Happy birthday. I hope the books I'm picking up for you now will be the best gift I've given~

The best gift I've received... It'd have to be a homemade gift.

[beneathmoonlight]

Thank you, Shuji-kun. I’m sure I’ll love them!

Homemade gifts are the best! Especially edible ones.

[lienhearts]

[Oh god damn it.]

You couldn▼t mention it earlier¿

[beneathmoonlight]

Ah, sorry, I just didn’t want anyone to make a fuss!

[destiny_key]

happy birthday!!!
how old are you turning???

[No, he's not avoiding the questions, why would you ask that.]

[beneathmoonlight]

[It’s okay. Atsushi won’t push.]

19!

Almost old enough to drink, haha.

[quiet_storm]

A little kid once gave me a pebble for helping with her sandcastle.

Nevermind. That's pretty stupid.
Gimme a minute and I'll think of a better answer.

[beneathmoonlight]

I don’t think that’s stupid at all!

It obviously stuck out to you, so it must’ve been important.

Not all gifts have to be flashy to be nice.

[imaginex]

Happy birthday, Atsushi-san!

And my favorite gift is probably the one my father gave me when I was 16. It was a pretty necklace from his jewelry store, along with a set of earrings to match.

[beneathmoonlight]

Thank you, Sakura-san!

That sounds really nice! I’m sure they mean a lot to you.

One of the best gifts I’ve ever received is a book signed by my favorite author.

[infreefall]

happy birthday!
are you doing anything special to celebrate?

i don't know about gifts i've given, but the best one i've gotten has to be my star chart book.
my dad got it for my last birthday, actually... i haven't had a chance to start using it yet, but he knows i like looking at the stars, so of course i'd like it.

[beneathmoonlight]

Thank you! And no, probably just curling up with a cup of tea and a good book.

Oh! That’s so neat! I really love searching for the different constellations.

The Big Dipper is the easiest for me to find.

[ohrlyeh]

happy birthday atsushi!

i need to give you your gift i'm glad you reminded me

and best gift i've received? i think all gifts are nice. i just like gifts i guess

[beneathmoonlight]

Thank you, Howard-san!

You didn’t have to get me anything, but I appreciate it.

I agree! Though it is nice to be able to eat gifts every now and then.

[maidofmistakes]

It's yours too? I mean, it's mine tomorrow. Happy birthday! Uh, the best gift, though... I can't really think of much, to be honest with you. Sorry.

[beneathmoonlight]

Thank you! Happy early birthday to you as well!

That’s okay. Maybe a gift you’d like to receive, then?

[informantic]

Is that book really your favourite gift you've ever received?

[Someone went snooping on the post. So sue him.]

[beneathmoonlight]

[Oh no, he’s blushing now!]

I know it’s not fair to compare gifts, and I don’t ever want to make anyone feel bad, but

Yes. It really meant a lot to me. I’ve read Sakaguchi-sensei’s books so many times, and to think you got a signed copy for me!

It’s really special.

[dornen_kiste]

ATSUSHI! WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SOMETHING EARLIER?!

_{[ Yes, this is an event that requires ALL CAPS. ]}

[beneathmoonlight]

I didn’t want anyone to make a fuss.

[falsepretentious]

There should be a law against multiple people sharing the same birthday. Pick a new one.

[beneathmoonlight]

Um

I can’t just pick a new one

[gandora]

when i was 8, my grandfather gave me a really cool puzzle. it took me forever to figure it out, but i figured it out and we display it in our game shop!

[beneathmoonlight]

Oh! Like a Rubix cube?

I don’t think I’d ever figure one of those out.

[floret]

Jamie Doh Oh, happy birthday!

I don't know if I've ever given any really good gifts, lol. As for receiving... I remember I was so excited to get a Game Kid system when I was in like elementary school.

[beneathmoonlight]

Thank you!

Oh! Do you like video games, Jamie-kun?
