Who: Haru and YOU.
Where: Botanical Garden
When: Day 151, mid-afternoon. (I know it's Dec 5th other places, so I forward dated this juuuust a little.)
Open/Closed: Open. Because Haru is inviting everyone to a tea party.

Hello everyone out there. As you may know, there is a garden area on the seventh floor of the apartment building we're all living in. I'm inviting anyone who hears this to come join me for tea. Think of it like a bonding activity? Getting to know someone better that you might have only run into a couple of times?

Or you could just come and help relieve me of all of the tea cakes and cookies I made this morning, it's up to you! Thank you for your time!

[Really, this is just Haru's excuse to celebrate to herself, just a little! It's Haru's birthday today and she feels much better doing something nice for the rest of the coven than just doing something nice for herself! Not that anyone outside her really knows that. Or so she thinks? When characters arrive to the garden they will see several smaller tables set up like this with several warm pots of tea around and plenty of cups! She meant for this to be something where the coven could help themselves.]

[Yusuke somehow shrinks when he's faced with that look.]

I...was busy all day today. I haven't had time for more than a granola bar this morning.

Let me get you something then?

[Looks like she was right to call a tea party! Especially one that attracts friends.]

What do you have?

Tea cakes and some cookies. But if you wanted something different we could walk to somewhere close?

[She's gotta watch out for Yusuke, okay?]

...what types of cookies?

[Because he won't say no to cookies to be quite honest.]

Sugar, lemon shortbread, regular shortbread...

[Please maybe take a handful of each.]

Thank you again, Yusuke-kun. I'm surprised anyone even remembered.

[He grabs a paper plate to put the cookies on.]

Of course. We're friends, why wouldn't I remember your birthday?

I don't know. I figured it wasn't terribly important!

[That's Haru, though. Always putting other's before herself.]

Of course it is. We're your friends and we want to celebrate you, Haru.

[Says the boy who hasn't told anyone his birthday yet.]

I could say the same to you, Yusuke-kun.

What do you mean?

[Blink blink]

Exactly what I said. When your birthday comes around I want to celebrate it too.

Oh.

[Blink blink.]

I'll have to count the days properly, then, starting from today. It's a shame there's not a calendar in the coven, to be honest. It'd make everything much simpler...

It was a little difficult for me to figure out too. But, Hibiki-san had a birthday not too long ago and then I began counting the days from there.

[She nods.]

You'll give me at least a day or two of warning, right?

Of course! It'd be rude to drop it on you without warning, after all.

Very good then.

[She sets a few more things in front of Yusuke.] I'm glad to see everyone having a good time. That was my main goal out of all of this.

[Are you trying to fatten him up, Haru.]

Do you know everyone here right now?

I know a good number of people. Not everyone though. Why?

Just curious. I haven't had a chance to meet most of the coven yet, so I recognize...no one here, that's all.

Aa, well. I think there are some people here you would certainly get along with.
