Happy Birthday! (Part One)
Heartslabyul Dorm - Lounge
 |
Waiting for my birthday interview might be the most thrilling part of the whole thing, TBH. Who did the Magical Birthday Dice roll to interview me? Personally, I'm hoping for someone with an appreciation for aesthetics. |
??? |
Hello there. |
 |
I'm Jamil Viper, and I'll be interviewing you today. Thanks for having me, Cater. |
|
Yo, Jamil! Good to see you. Mind if we take a quick selfie? |
|
Go right ahead. |
|
Heh heh, lookin' good. I'll post it to Magicam later, so keep your eyes peeled! |
|
All right. Now that we've got that out of the way... Happy birthday, Cater. I have a little gift for you. |
|
Ooh, thanks! I'm dying to see what it is. I can't even begin to guess, which just makes it all the more fun! Whaaat, check out all these colorful stickers! Totally ADORBS. They're for decorating stuff, right? |
|
Yes. I decided to go with simple skateboard decals that don't need any special tools to apply. |
|
Wow, you actually know I skateboard? I haven't told you that before, have I? |
|
No, I heard it from Kalim. He mentioned at one point that you were good at it. I checked your Magicam account and saw that you posted about getting a new board... So I picked out some designs I thought you might like, and made sure the colors matched the board in the pictures you put up. |
|
I'm p. sure I mentioned that to Kalim ages ago. I'm impressed you remembered that. And you took the board color AND my personal style into account? Amazing! There's nothing wrong with keeping the board's original design, obvs... But when you do jumps and flip tricks, you basically show the underside of your board to everyone who's looking. So giving it my own flair really amps up that "nailed it" feeling when I pull off a trick! Plus, it makes for a great conversation piece when I'm chatting with other skaters…and most importantly, it means WAY more likes on Magicam! |
|
Interesting. So when you skateboard, people assess both your skill and style. |
|
Exactly! Also, wow, this is a TON of stickers. You've given me so much to work with. I'm gonna have a blast just figuring out what kind of layout I wanna do. Thanks a bunch! |
|
I'm very glad you like your gift. |
Happy Birthday! (Part Two)
Heartslabyul Dorm - Lounge
|
Let's get this interview started. My first question is… If you could have any student from Night Raven College as a sibling, who would you choose? And it can't be someone from your dorm. |
|
A sibling? Hmm... Well, we're in the same year, but I think I'd go for Vil as a big brother. |
|
Vil, hm? I suppose you both keep up with trends... But looking at your birthdates, Vil is younger than you. Why'd you specify big brother? |
|
Isn't it obvious? Vil's got a better head on his shoulders! Also, I've got two older sisters. I've always kinda wanted a "big bro." My sisters tend to be pretty demanding... Like, sometimes one of them will come out of the bath with a craving for ice cream, and get after me to go out and get her some... Or they'll make shopping plans and just take it for granted that I'll carry all their stuff. Like, come on, you could at least ASK. Now, to be clear, they don't bully me into doing stuff. If I have plans, I just tell them no. And there's usually something in it for me. Sometimes they'll give me some money, or buy me things like clothes or food. |
|
I have a little sister myself, so I think I understand. |
|
I figured you would. But I think Vil's the type who believes that if you want something done, you do it yourself. He'd never be like, "Oh, I just painted my nails and I don't wanna ruin them, so you do my hair." You know? |
|
True enough. But I could see him making someone carry his shopping bags. |
|
That would be a bonus! |
|
How so? |
|
How many chances does a guy get to see a model shop up close? Just being around Vil would enhance my fashion sense, guaranteed. And let's be real, carrying a few bags is a small price to pay for getting hot tips from an expert. There are other reasons too. I'd love to hear about the best ways to go viral, straight from an influencer... Not to mention it'd be super cool to visit a movie set. But he'd probably put the kibosh on those ideas in a heartbeat. |
|
So you chose Vil for Magicam reasons as well. |
|
Hey now, that's not all there is to it! Isn't it a huge deal for someone to remain active in the same field from a super young age? |
|
Absolutely. That's no mean feat. |
|
Vil hasn't told me any of this, so you know. It's all just my sense, but... I don't think he works on just his acting and good looks. His soft skills must be through the roof. A guy like that would know how to give other people space and maintain healthy boundaries, right? Even with family. |
|
I see what you mean. It's hard for people to know when to back off when they're close to someone. |
|
Besides, this dorm has taught me how rough it is to look after people. I've got plenty of little brother figures here. I don't need a real one! |
|
I'm a little surprised to hear that, actually. You always gave me the impression you enjoyed looking after underclassmen. |
|
Wow, Jamil. Do you think I come off as some nice upperclassman? |
|
Certainly. I can tell just from what Ace says that you do a lot for the guys in your dorm. I think you're very caring compared to other older students. It's quite impressive. |
|
Heh heh, I wasn't expecting a compliment of that nature, but hey, I'll take it! |
Happy Birthday! (Part Three)
Heartslabyul Dorm - Lounge
|
Moving on… If you were to transfer to a different dorm, which would it be? |
|
Hmm. I'm all about that Heartslabyul life, so it's hard to picture myself anywhere else, but... I'd be down to try on an Octavinelle uniform. It's chic and black—basically the opposite of Heartslabyul's pop aesthetic and predominately white color, y'know? I wouldn't mind rockin' some formal fashion. |
|
Octavinelle, I see. I suppose you could do a lot worse, fashion-wise. Though if you did transfer there, I could see your social aptitude backfiring on you. |
|
That's for sure. It's not hard to picture Azul trying to squeeze as much work out of me for the Mostro Lounge as possible. Especially since my signature spell is practically tailor-made for the service industry. I could have a bunch of mes all waiting tables up front... Relaying info would be a breeze, I'd look cool enough to generate buzz, AND I could advertise for 'em on Magicam. The interior and menu items are so 'cammable, I could make posts about that place for DAYS. Now that I think about it... It might be a surprisingly good fit for Cay-Cay. I could even start tomorrow if I wanted. |
|
No arguments here. You could easily get just the right position for your skills. |
|
Pomefiore would be another option if I wanted to really focus on my fashion... But I dunno if I'm ready to put that many constraints on what I eat. Sometimes a guy just wants something quirky and 'cammable more than a well-balanced or tasty meal, you feel me? I'm not ready to go all in with watching my intake and exercising every time I eat out. |
|
Well, that wraps up the interview. Thank you for your time. |
|
Cool beans! So, if the interview's over, does that mean...? |
|
Yes, that's right. It's time for the main event— the presentation of your good-luck gift. I give you this gift with my most heartfelt wish that your next year is a happy one. |
|
Hey, hold up! If we're doing this, at least let me get a pic—or no, a video! |
|
...Are you ready? |
|
All set! I'll stand right here... There we go. Make it count, Jamil! |
|
All right, you asked for it... Happy birthday, Cater! |
