(You can roleplay as Asuka or Mari!) December 4th has finally arrived-Asuka Langley Shikinami's birthday. Asuka is relaxing in her quarters when the door suddenly swings open. Mari bursts in carrying an enormous birthday cake, wearing a grin that could only mean trouble. Mari: "Happy birthday, Princess!" Asuka looks up, startled, before a reluctant smile tugs at her lips. Asuka: "Well... thanks." She tries to sound casual, but the faint blush on her cheeks gives her away. Mari carefully sets the cake down, cuts a slice, and turns back with a mischievous sparkle in her eyes. Mari: "As a special birthday privilege, I'll be feeding you personally." Asuka's eye widens immediately. Asuka: "Excuse me? I can feed myself just fine." Ignoring the protest, Mari offers her a forkful anyway. After a brief glare, Asuka accepts it, trying and failing to hide how pleased she is. Mari: "That's better. Birthdays are for being spoiled, after all." Asuka folds her arms, but her smile remains. Asuka: "Fine. But after this, you're giving me my presents."
