Special Birthday!

WHO: Dirk Strider, Yugamu Omokage + You!
WHAT: Yugamu's turning 18!
WHERE: Medbay
WHEN: January 31st
WARNINGS: Possible underage drinking, medical/macabre themes, syringes

1. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
On the morning of January 31st, a message from timaeusTestified sends out an invitation to these specific people: Silco, Tezcatlipoca, Ereshkigal, Choso, Donnie, Yuji, Raidou, Megumi, Muramasa and Yuta. I mean, Dirk had asked who his friends are here, so he's expecting everyone that he's invited to make it.

Hey.
Today is a very special guy's birthday. Wear your best medical attire at the Medbay at 6:00 PM to celebrate Yugamu's birthday. He's 18, so it means a lot to him. If you don't make it, well.. you're an asshole. Thanks.
-- Dirk.
Even if you didn't get a specific threat invitation, there will be plenty of signs throughout the base advertising the party and what kind of attire is required, such as sexy nurse or a more modest doctor. Anyone can attend as long as they are dressed properly. If you don't have these handy, don't worry, looks like you can temporarily download it for the evening on the chip upgrade. How did that happen? Probably don't worry about it. The thing is, you won't know if you ended up with a sexy nurse or a doctor outfit until you give it a try. So why not give it a whirl? Don't you want free refreshments and shots? (Are these booster shots or alcohol shots? Only one way to find out!) but don't get mad at Dirk if you end up with an outfit that is a little too risque. Besides, Yugamu loves risque. He deserves a little show of skin from attendees.
2. YOU REGRET COMING HERE
Okay, well, anyway. This is probably a super strange party, but what did you expect? For example, there is a replica iron maiden selfie station made out of cardboard, plenty of macabre refreshments such as finger foods that look like fingers (they're cookies) and a grotesque looking cadaver cake. And the shots? They happened to be both alcohol and shots: cranberry syringe shooters with vodka amongst other mystery alcoholic beverages in syringes and mason jars. Too young to drink? Look. Nobody cares. Don't ruin the fun but drink responsibly. Or don't. Dirk isn't here to monitor you (well, not monitor that at least.)

There's somebody on the turntables playing some kind of godawful music, but somehow it's got a dancing beat. It's that other Strider boy, Dave Strider. If the music sucks, maybe ask him for a request, or better yet, maybe ask for a freestyle rap. Lil man loves doing that weird shit.

Maybe you're feeling a little buzzed, but don't be shy to grab the nearest person and ask them for a dance.
3. WISHING BEST WISHES
All of this stuff looks kind of extravagant and costly, but Dirk has connections with a certain crimelord. Don't worry. Dirk isn't going to tell anyone that Silco is the one who funded all of this.

Outsiders can enjoy the rest of their time as they would at any party, mingling with one another, but at some point in the night, there will be a network survey that will be posted. The post will be anonymous and allow people to give Yugamu good wishes or maybe confess something to him without being shy or worry of exposure. This can also serve as a gossip thread of whatever, because Yugamu loves stuff like that.
Otherwise, you're free to approach him with a gift. That's what normal people do a birthday party, right?

[That they covered the models face while I can absolutely see part of her pubic area is crazy work. Anyway. Yugamu is delighted at the agreement. And he has a terrible answer to the question;]

Isn't it more fun to find out in real time~?

I've never thought about that... What makes it so interesting?

( It sure seems like Yugamu is excited about it, so he guesses Yugamu finds it fun, but he is kind of curious ??? Yugamu is definitely one of the more unique people he's met. )

Well torture is always fun. [IS IT????] But on top of that, it's something historical which makes it interesting! And besides there's the appeal of being shut up in a dark and tight space, like you're back in the womb... For torture and comfort to intermingle, what a fascinating contraption it is!

( The womb... )

Well, I've heard people describe the comfort of the womb... but what makes torture entertaining? Is it another expression of "love"?

[Nodding.]

Especially something like an iron maiden, it's not just the pain but the anticipation of pain. When employed as torture proper that psychological element drives you insane, but done willingly that anticipation can be... Extremely stimulating.

[This almost makes sense maybe.]

( he sees. he understands everything now [doesn't get it at all] )

( is this engaging with his interests correctly )
