Happy Birthday! (Part One)

Heartslabyul Dorm - Lounge

Oh hey, it's coming up on interview time. One last check to make sure my hat's at just the right angle... There, perf.
Our interviewer gets selected by the Magical Pendulum, right? Wonder who it's gonna be this year.

Yo, Seabream. Happy birthday.

Whoa! You came out of nowhere. Don't tell me YOU'RE my interviewer?

Yup. Let's get to it.

What, no small talk?! All right then. Lay it on me! I'll answer whatever you throw my way.

Okay, first question.
If you could use flight magic to go anywhere, where would you go?
And you don't gotta worry about runnin' outta magic.

No limits, huh... In that case, I'd wanna check out this waterfall that's been trending on Magicam lately.
The water turns to mist as it cascades down and makes a rainbow when the light hits just right.
If you're REALLY lucky, there'll be multiple rainbows at once. It's super pretty.
A bunch of posts tagged at this waterfall have tens of thousands of likes.
If I could get some pics or video of it, I'd go viral for sure!

But aren't other people already doin' the same thing? You're not gonna get much attention just copyin' someone else.

Astute observation, Floyd! I've taken that into account, of course.
To be clear, the waterfall I'm talking about can't be reached at all on foot.
You have to book a pricy helicopter tour if you want to snap photos of it.
The drawback is the helicopter follows one set route and can't get too close, so a lot of shots come out kinda the same.
But a broom's way more maneuverable, which opens up a bunch more possible flight paths.

Ahh, I getcha. You'd be able to capture different angles than everyone else.

Exactly! On a broom, I could fly behind the waterfall, or over the basin...
If I could get video of flying under a rainbow or places the helicopter can't reach, I'd rake in the engagement!

Dang, that's a lotta detailed planning just to take some pictures.

I'm always researching 'Cammable hotspots and thinking about how I'd record them if I could get there.
But it's easier said than done. In the time it takes to plan an itinerary, Magicam has generally moved on to the next big thing.

Wouldn't it be easier to take good pictures after the trend's died down?

Maybe, but being a Magicammer's about one thing and one thing only: engagement.
What's the point putting in all that work if everyone else is over it?

Huh. So you don't actually care where you go, as long as you can get a buncha likes?
In that case, I could take you to the Coral Sea and show you awesome spots land peeps have never heard of.

For real? A chance like this doesn't come along every day—let's do it!

Okay, deal. You're gonna have a blast.
Oh yeah, I should probably warn you that you gotta look out for shark attacks on the way.
But hey, if you get there in one piece, you're pretty much guaranteed to go viral.

Wait, sharks?! As in, we'd be underwater? Not on a boat?
...On second thought, I think I'll pass. I don't think my smartphone would survive the trip.

Happy Birthday! (Part Two)

Okay, next question.
What's your best subject in school?

My best class, huh? Hmm... My grades in astrology are pretty dece.

Dude... Astrology's the most opaque class there is to me.

Ahaha, it can be pretty complicated. It's basically fortunetelling, after all.
Lots of people use it to try and predict the future based on the positions of celestial objects in the past.

Calculating all that stuff is a huge hassle. Ain't it more statistics than fortunetelling at that point?

Maybe! Personally, Cay-Cay's cool with just letting it be fortunetelling.

Talk about a noncommittal response... So how'd you get so good at astrology?

Hmm, good question. I guess because I read the astrology section in magazines a lot.

Whoa, you do? I always skip it.

I can't say much about its accuracy, but it's surprisingly fun. Great conversation starter, too.

So you use fortunetelling as somethin' to chat about.

Yeah, exactly. When you first meet someone, you don't know their vibe or what they're into, right? Sooo...
"Hey, this mag's got some cool fortunetelling. What's your birthday?" Bam, instant conversation material.
Once you make that initial inroad, you can pan out from there, like...
"Hey, that's close to my birthday!" or "It says your lucky charm is black tea. Oh, you prefer coffee?"

You sure that's how it'd go?
Cuz in my case, I'd be like, "How is that any of your business?"

Well that just means you were never interested in having a conversation in the first place!
Hmm... With someone like you, I'd probably take a different approach.
Fortunetelling's one of many tools in a conversationalist's arsenal.

Hm. Still sounds like a big hassle to me. I'd never have the patience.

Yeah, I can see that. Everybody's got their own conversational style. I'm just talking about my own, y'know?

But hey, a tip's a tip. Now I kinda wanna try it out.

Wow, going for it already? I'm game. Go on, ask me something!

Hey, Seabream. When's your birthday?

Uh—today? You know, the whole reason you're here interviewing me!

Ahaha, that really did do the trick. Okay, next question.

Happy Birthday! (Part Three)

Heartslabyul Dorm - Lounge

Here's your last question.
What do you hope to do in the next year?

Hmm... Well, there's a lot of places I'd like to visit and things I'd want to do...
A year's a long time... Ooh, I know. I wanna try a bunch of different hairstyles.
I do a few different things with my hair as it is—letting my bangs down, putting them up in a pompadour...
But I haven't done any like, bold hairstyles that would change my whole vibe.
Birthdays are a great excuse to try out something new...
And who knows? I might discover some style that's flown under my radar and turns out perfect for me.

Ooh, that sounds like a fun experiment. What kinda hairstyle do you picture yourself in?

A slicked-back look might work with my current length. I could see a side part working great there, too.
Or I could ask my stylist to give me a wolf cut. Who knows? It could give me a whole Bad Boy Cay-Cay vibe.

That ain't much different from what you've got right now.
If you really wanna shake things up, how 'bout an undercut?
Put on a button-up shirt and a fitted jacket with some leather shoes, and you'd look like a whole different guy.

Y'know, maybe I shouldn't have assumed I'd stick with my usual ensemble for a new hairstyle. I'd like to try that out!
If we're talking a total fashion makeover, growing out my hair's an option too. Or wearing a wig.
I could put on a Pop Music Club show in a punk ensemble and get people going, "Who's that?!" That'd be so hype!

Nice. You could wear jet-black boots with spiked studs and stuff.

Ooh, I'd never wear any of that normally...

If you're goin' all-in, you could make your hair all spiky, too.

Spiky hair...?

Yeah. Use some wax so it'll hold its shape and make it all spiky like a hedgehog. It'd be great.
You should try it, Seabream.

Haha... As far as adventurous ideas go, that's up there!

Aaand, interview done! Here you go.

Ooh, is this my broom? This citrusy color scheme is adorbs!

A bright bouquet makes the outfit pop more, right? That's on-brand for you, Seabream.
Anyway, have fun up there. You'd better not put on a borin' show on a broom that awesome.

Way to raise the bar. I got this, though. Get your oohs and aahs ready!
Let's see, how's my broom angle...? There, perfecto. Now to show everyone what I can do!
