[ Honey's sitting in front of a pretty large looking cake at a cafe in Viridian. This thing probably cost him an entire paycheck, if not two. Kan-chan the Kangaskhan is looking on with what can only be described as slight motherly disapproval, although this is pretty par for the course for Honey. ]

Hiiiiii everyone! I reached Viridian City, ne. And made some new friends along the way - Kan-chan, introduce Jin-chan! [ Well, okay. The Kangaskhan seems pacified by this instruction, and will shuffle forward to lift something out of her front pouch - a tiny, annoyed piplup. He doesn't seem to appreciate the mothering, but both Honey and Kan-chan ignore that. ] Say hello, Jin-chan! [ NO. Something else seems to be speeding around in the background... ] And that's Nina-chan, although she doesn't like to sit still!

[ But anyway back to the matter at hand... ] We're having a birthday party~! Today is the 28th, so I'm nineteen! Ah, although I was born on the 29th, this year isn't a leap year in this place...so, this is a one-cake birthday. Although it's not as big as the kind I normally get at home, I think this one looks good, too, don't you~?

[ ...How big is the cake he gets at home, though...

But no, that note about his age dropped, Honey will just finish this up, although the feed catches a last comment from him. ] Now, what piece do you want Kan-chan, Jin-chan, Nina-chan?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Honey, you're nuts. Just sayin'.]

How many is 'more'? And how do you not get sick of it?

Well, before I used to have as many as five or ten...? But, Takashi said I had to cut back on sweets by at least seventy-five percent.

And I've never gotten sick of sweets~! [ He did once get a cavity, though. ]

[Yup. He was right. This kid and his dad would get together so well it would probably be dangerous.]

You have that much cake on your birthday and you never get sick of it? Ever?

Nope~! I once got a cavity, but I've never missed brushing since, because I promised not to.

[ After a lot of drama, anyway. No one is really quite sure where Honey puts all these cakes. ]

[Even John is beginning to wonder. Honey do you work out a lot or something? Because John had a ridiculously cake-filled childhood and it definitely shows on him.]

I...see. Well that's good. I...guess.

[Subject change!]

So what's your name, anyway? And do you happen to know a set of orange haired twins? They were wearing the same uniform as you.

[ He actually does practice martial arts daily, so that might help. A bit. ]

Mitsukuni Haninozuka~! But you can call me Honey, ne. And I do! Hika-chan and Kao-chan are my underclassmen!

Honey it is! Much easier to remember, hehe. It's nice to meet you, Honey. I'm John.

It's nice to meet you, John-chan! Have you been here long~?

[John holds up two fingers.] Two years and counting. Hopef-- wait. John...chan? Wait isn't that the one that you use for girls?

[He doesn't know a whole lot about the whole suffix thing, tbh. But he's pretty sure that is the girl one.]

It can be used for boys, John-chan~!

[ It's not the ordinary go-to unless you're being sugary sweet like Honey generally speaks, though. ]

Ah, I guess "kun" is more frequent? But it's less cute...

Oh, gotcha. [He rubs at the back of his head.] Sorry, it's probably obvious but I am American and we don't have anything like that in our language. So I know a little bit from like...anime and stuff. And from people here too.

You don't have to apologize~! I thought you might be American, ne. I was studying abroad before I got here, as it happens~!

Although my English skills aren't really being used here~! Interesting, right?
