Could someone help me? I'm down in the tunnels and I'm not sure I can get out with a twisted ankle. That ladder can be kinda hard ta climb. Please? I don't wanna stay down here. Place is creepy.

[Voice]

Happy Birthday, Hijiri!

Everyone! Come ta Azzip for a big party! I made lots of pizza and there's a big cake and everythin'! I got lots of drinks too so everyone come by!

[Action]

[Just as Duo says, there's a big party at Azzip. He's decorated the place with streamers and extra lights. He's made more food than he'll know what to do with and has collected other treats from the shops.]

Sheik! Where are ya! I wanna know where you're hidin' and where ya holed yourself up at or I'm gunna start spreadin' embarrassing secrets 'bout you!

[Action]

[There is now a large heart burned into the side of house 33. Inside of the heart is "Duo + Hijiri". Poor Duo is now leaning against the wall and panting since that took about all the energy he had, but he seems proud of himself.]

(ooc: Still sick and still laying groundwork. Please comment if you don't mind me not getting to this for a while. Also, Duo's been quiet and not talking to people much because he's been busy with Hijiri like rabbits.)

[Action]

[Duo's been working very, very hard to come up with the perfect gifts for Hijiri. He's melted chocolate down into violin shaped molds. He also got some flowers from Flonne that he's shoved into a frame to make a heart. There's also a little chocolate, heart shaped cake he got from the bakery. To top it off, he's also been in the kitchen and managed to make the caramel pudding Hijiri's so fond of. He seems proud of himself as he arranges everything on the table before calling for Hijiri.]

(ooc: This is backdated to yesterday. I feel like crap all day and didn't get around to writing it. People can comment if they just want to talk to Duo.)

[Action]

[Duo's down in the tunnels with everyone else. He chooses a few crates and starts pushing them from one side of the room to the other. He mostly ignores the droids so they won't try to attack him, but he's being generally annoying by making sure they're not where they should be. He pants a little from the work, but he's having fun so it's alright.]

(ooc: I hope this is alright with how the plot works. If it's not, AIM colonybrat and let me know. The other box pushers or whatever can comment since Duo's more than happy to talk while he's working.)

[Voice]

I can't believe I had ta ask Sheik ta help us move back 'gain. Poor guy's been doin' too much for us. Really owe him one. He's great. Been doin' so much ta help us. Seriously owe him. Really owe him one.

I can't believe what Hijiri did for me. Seriously, blindin' himself. Then again, I let 'em crush my hands. Can't let anythin' happen to his. He's gotta be able ta play. I could pilot with stiff hands, but he can't play with stiff fingers. Not as well. I'd kill 'im and I won't let that happen. Love 'im too much. Still can't believe I started callin' him that. Just wanna make 'im happy. Hope that makes him happy. Just wanna make him happy.

I wonder how Ryu's doin'. Still can't believe that kitty stripped me. Then again, it was so I wouldn't get sick, but that's gotta be a big step for 'im. Maybe there's hope yet. Think I should be proud of him. Shame I couldn't have taken advantage of it. Woulda been fun. He's pretty when he blushes.

And Haseo was nice ta me again. Missed that. Missed Has. He was my first friend here. Still care 'bout him and wanna see him happy. Good ta know things got better for 'im.

Ya know, I'm startin' ta wonder if somethin's wrong. This is really familiar. Feel like I did when I couldn't shut up. Ya don't think they'd do that again, do ya? Then again, forgot why I start this 'cause I started thinkin' about Sheik. Maybe it is happenin' again. Damn. And I promised I wouldn't hurt myself again ta deal with it. Now what?

[Action]

[Duo's finally worked most of the drugs out of his system. He'll be a little slow, but he can feel the aches and pains of his body, but more importantly, he knows where he is and what happened. He's sitting up in his clinic bad, head frantically looking around for Hijiri. Duo's heart's pounding and all he can hear in his ears is the rush of blood from getting up way too quickly. His movement tosses his book from the bed, making it thump open in time to hear him "oof" as he falls back to the bed.]

[Action]

[Into the cold night, Duo sneaks into bedrooms, unseen and unheard. Presents appear at the foot of beds to be found in the morning.]

(ooc: I'm tired and behind on my friends page so if this doesn't make sense in anyway, yell at me.)

[Action]

[Duo's decided to go to the bar and get himself happily drunk. He doesn't know what else to do with the all crazy going on and as tempting as Sheik's offer was, he didn't feel like hiding in a cave. If the people in charge of the bar would like to comment, goodie. If they don't want to serve him, he's nicking stuff. Anyone else, say whether you're meeting him in the bar or if you want to talk to him after he's had a few.]
