Heartslabyul Dorm - Birthday Party Venue
Ace Ace	"The Magical Birthday Dice chooses the gift giver that will bless you with good fortune," huh? This is basically my first game of chance since turning one year older. If I'm gonna do this, I'd like luck to be on my side... Who's gonna be my gift giver? It'd be great if it was someone like Kalim who'd hand over an expensive gift~
??? ???	My, my. Unfortunately for you, I'm not Kalim.
Vil Vil	It is I, Vil Schoenheit, who has been chosen to give you your gift
Ace Ace	Vil-! Hell yeah! Today's my lucky day! Your gift's got to be something with a real sense of style Damn, I'm real excited now. What'd you get me for my birthday?
Vil Vil	My goodness, you're truly getting carried away. Happy birthday, Ace. This is the present I have for you.
Ace Ace	Thanks a ton, Vil! I'm gonna open it right here then~ Wh-Wha?! This logo on the box...! IS THIS A HIGH-END BRAND!? ARE YOU FOR REAL!? Inside the box is.... Sunglasses! These gold frames and brown-colored lenses give it a mature vibe too, it's so cool! Man, I'm super pumped! I'm SO glad it was you who ended up as my gift giver, Vil!
Vil Vil	That's the obvious reaction I expected. It was quite the headache trying to prepare a present within the given budget.
Ace Ace	Holy crap. I'm on cloud nine, for real. How did you even get a present from a high end brand without going over budget? No matter how you look at it, it's brand new too. And the frame shape looks just like what's been in style lately...
Vil Vil	My, how unexpected, you actually have a good eye. Actually, the day after I was chosen as the gift giver I had a magazine photoshoot. These new sunglasses were provided by the brand during the photoshoot as a promotion for the next season's fashion I knew at a glance that it would suit you. Also, I managed to stay within the budget as I bought it at the sample's price Not only will it match what you're wearing right now, but you'll be able to use it as a nice accent to your regular ensemble of clothes as well.
Ace Ace	My regular ensemble of clothes... But oh maaan~ It's a bit tough making outfits work, you know~? I'd looove it if a fashionable and stylish upperclassman could show me the ropes on how to use these shades~
Vil Vil	... *Sigh* Today is your birthday after all. Very well, just this once I'll teach you the basics.
Ace Ace	You're the best, Vil! I'm gonna go and brag to everyone on Magicam that I just got the greatest present ever.
Vil Vil	Then in that case, pass me your phone. In order for you to brag about it, you'd need a photo to upload onto Magicam, no?
Ace Ace	Please and thank you! Oh Vil, for the photoshoot for the sunglassses the other day, you took a pose for it right? It was something like this..
Vil Vil	No, that isn't how it's done at all. Tuck your chin in more and turn your gaze forward. Then lower your sunglasses a little...
Ace Ace	How's it look? Am I pulling this off?
Vil Vil	... It is barely borderline acceptable. Your finger on the glasses should stay as is, do not move. I'll be taking the photo then.

Heartslabyul Dorm - Birthday Party Venue
Vil Vil	Well then, shall we begin the interview?
Ace Ace	Okaaay. Thanks in advance.
Vil Vil	"If you were to choose from the Night Raven College student body, who would you like as a sibling?" However the student can not be from the same dorm as you. Now, your answer.
Ace Ace	If we're talking older brothers, Azul'd be my pick!
Vil Vil	... Azul? It's rather unexpected that you would immediately answer with that person's name.
Ace Ace	You think so? Well if I could answer with someone from the same dorm, I would have picked Cater, since he's fun to hang out with and easy to talk to. I mean, Azul's got a good head on his shoulders and a sharp eye, right? He'd be real reliable as a relative.
Vil Vil	Do you really think that man would be so lenient? If it's Azul, I'd imagine he would still look for an equal return on whatever time or effort he invested in his family member.
Ace Ace	Mmm... But if I'm his little bro, I think he'd at least help me study for free. I mean... It would be a bad look for his business if he had a no-good little brother.
Vil Vil	... You make a good point. In that case, Azul might behave differently to avoid being put at a disadvantage.
Ace Ace	See? And just think about how well Mostro Lounge is being managed. He's got a real knack for business, no doubt! Even now, he's probably raking in a fortune. If Azul was my brother, I bet he would give me a really extravagant present like you Vil! Something like a high name brand watch or limited edition sneakers. Oh, but what I'm into is street fashion like what I'm wearing right now, so maybe we don't really match up taste-wise. I wonder if he'd say something awesome like, "Buy whatever suits your fancy today," on my birthday every year.
Vil Vil	Good grief, you're simply seeing him as a wallet at this rate.
Ace Ace	I mean, don't you think Azul would be one of those people with a stable future waiting for him. I can easily see him getting greedy and starting new businesses after graduation to really make tons of money. I don't really have any real dreams or goals myself. It'd be a real lifesaver to get a good job through connections.
Vil Vil	Your 'what-if' scenarios certainly seem based in reality. Could it be your actual older brother is similar to Azul?
Ace Ace	Nah, not at all. He's a flashier kind of guy who tends to just go with the flow. But having him around has kinda helped me out a lot. You see, he's already went through school and job hunting and shown me how it's done!
Vil Vil	Now that explains it. The reason why you're so adaptable is because you grew up watching your brother.
Ace Ace	It's not like that was the root of everything, but... Well, I'm pretty grateful to him. No matter what you do, information is important after all.

Heartslabyul Dorm - Birthday Party Venue
Vil Vil	Then shall we continue with the next question? "If you could join another dorm other than Heartslabyul, which dorm would you choose?"
Ace Ace	Well of course it's gotta be Scarabia!
Vil Vil	Another immediate answer. You're quite the decisive type. Were you originally aspiring to be in Scarabia?
Ace Ace	Hmm... That's not really it to be honest but... My dorm has a lot of rules that honestly don't make sense, and if you break any of them you'll end up paying for it sooner or later... That's why I thought a more relaxed dorm that you can spend your time in while living in comfort would be nice. First of all, Savanaclaw is way too stuffy with the sporty people in there. Octavinelle and Ignihyde students honestly don't look like the type I'd get along with. Diasomnia is also out the question. It's kinda scary and plus it would be noisy to hear Sebek everyday. Cross those ones out, and only Scarabia and Pomefiore are left...
Vil Vil	It would certainly be worth polishing you, Ace.
Ace Ace	Come on, I said I already had enough of that! You're just as strict as my dorm head, Vil! That just outright defeats the point of going to a different dorm. Comparing Kalim to you two, he's way more likely to laugh and let it slide if I make a small slip up. Jamil does scold me during basketball practice, but it's way better when compared to losing my head.
Vil Vil	I can't believe it. Has it never occured to you to change your behavior?
Ace Ace	I'm already putting in enough effort as-is. It's the strict environment that's to blame here~ Plus, Scarabia is always having banquets, right? I'm jealous 'cause I always hear the Scarabia people in my class talking about the fancy and good-tasting food. And they even were talking about a huge magic show they put on one time... Man, I really wanted to be around for that~~. Not fair.. I wouldn't wanna be there forever, but I'd like to enter the dorm like a trial for a few days.
Vil Vil	Oh my. Only for a few days is good for you? You've been going on and on with your complaints in regards to Heartslabyul's environment, but not once have I heard "I want to transfer" from you.
Ace Ace	Ah... well.. you know... After all, the Dark Mirror did pick the dorm that fits the 'shape of my soul' right? I mean, despite what I said, I get along with my roommates and upperclassman, and things are going well after all... I don't really have any urges to transfer dorms, I guess.
Vil Vil	Is that so. ... Well, I won't press the matter.
Ace Ace	Hey! What's that grin for!? We're off topic now, it's time to move on!
Ace Ace	With this, the interview is over right?
Vil Vil	Yes, now it is time for today's main event. Ace, did you properly set my present to the side?
Ace Ace	Yup I did. Hah, watching it was really funny, but having to do it myself is a little...
Vil Vil	Enough complaining. Now stay still and accept my "Gift of Good Fortune."
Ace Ace	Ahhh jeez! I got it, please hurry up and finish it off already!
Vil Vil	Then, here I go. Ace Trappola.... Happy birthday!

Heartslabyul Dorm - Birthday Party Venue
Ace Ace	“The presenter chosen by the Magical Birthday Dice will be the one who comes bearing your good fortune,” huh... Some trial of luck thing to kick off the day's celebrations. Sure hope I get something good... I wonder who it's gonna be. Someone like Kalim-senpai would be great~! He seems like the kinda guy that'd give you something real expensive.
??? ???	Ara, sorry to disappoint you. It's not Kalim.
Vil Vil	I, Vil Schoenheit, was chosen to be your gift giver.
Ace Ace	Vil-senpai! Alright! I totally lucked out! I bet you got me something real stylish! Awesome, I can't wait. So what did you pick out for me?
Vil Vil	Well, since you're already on such a roll. Happy birthday, Ace. Here's my present.
Ace Ace	Thanks a lot, Vil-senpai! Then I'll just go ahead and open it right now. What?! The logo on the box...! No way this is something high end?! Are you for real?! It's... a pair of sunglasses! These gold frames with the brown lenses look real sophisticated and super cool! Gosh, I'm so stoked! I'm really glad I ended up with you as my presenter, Vil-senpai~!
Vil Vil	Just the kind of reaction I expected. I went to a lot of trouble picking out something within the amount specified.
Ace Ace	Man, I'm so thrilled. But like how did you manage to get me something that's name brand without going over budget? I mean they look totally brand new, yeah? The style seems like one that's pretty popular right now, too...
Vil Vil	Ara, so it seems like you do have a good eye after all. Well, the day after they picked me to be your presenter I had a magazine shoot lined up. These new sunglasses were part of what they brought for me to promote their brand's next season. I knew right away they'd look good on you. Because they let me buy them for the sample price, I somehow managed to stay within the budget. Of course they go well with what you have on right now but they'll also make a great accent to what you usually wear.
Ace Ace	What I usually wear, huh... But, well... That might be a little out of my league! Though it'd sure be nice to get some advice on how to wear them from a stylish looking senpai with good fashion sense, y'know?
Vil Vil	...I suppose, seeing that it is your birthday. Fine, I'll give you some basic advice as a treat.
Ace Ace	I knew I could count on you, Vil-senpai! Since I got such a sweet present, I should take a bunch of selfies for Magicam.
Vil Vil	In that case, hand me your phone. You need a picture to upload and show off, right?
Ace Ace	I'd appreciate that! Oh! Before you posed on the front of some magazine wearing sunglasses, right? Kinda like this...
Vil Vil	You've got it all wrong. Bring in your chin and look straight ahead. Slide your sunglasses down just a bit...
Ace Ace	How do I look now? Is this good?
Vil Vil	I suppose you pass... barely. Keep that hand on your glasses and hold still. Ready.
(camera shutter goes off)

Heartslabyul Dorm - Birthday Party Venue
Vil Vil	Well then, let's move on to the interview.
Ace Ace	Great. Let's do it.
Vil Vil	If you could pick one person at Night Raven College to have as a sibling, who would it be? Not anyone from the same dorm, though. So, what's your answer?
Ace Ace	If I were gonna pick someone to be my big bro then...Azul-senpai!
Vil Vil	...Azul? Well, I certainly wasn't expecting his name to be the one you'd blurt out.
Ace Ace	That so? I mean if it could be someone from the same dorm I'd probably go with Cater. He's pretty chill and easy to talk to. But Azul-senpai's smart and pretty crafty, yeah? He seems like someone you could totally rely on if you were family.
Vil Vil	Do you think Azul is really that generous? I suspect he'd expect just as much in return from someone he'd call family.
Ace Ace	Hmm... But I think if I were his little bro he'd at least help me out with my studies for free. I mean... Having a little brother that did badly would hurt his "business" reputation, right?
Vil Vil	You do have a point. He might behave differently if you were to put him at a disadvantage.
Ace Ace	Right? And when you think about how well Mostro Lounge is doing you can't say he doesn't have a real knack for business stuff! He must be doing pretty well for himself by now. If he were my big bro he could get me all kinds of cool presents like you, Vil-senpai! Stuff like brand name watches and limited edition sneakers. Oh, but I'm into street fashion like what I've got on now, so maybe our taste in clothes wouldn't really mesh. I wonder if maybe on my birthday he'd be like, "I'll buy you whatever you want."
Vil Vil	For goodness sake. You only see him as some kind of walking wallet.
Ace Ace	I mean, don't you think Azul-senpai's the type who'd have a pretty secure future lined up? After he graduates he'll probably open up a new business for the money and rake in even more than he does now. I don't really have any particular dreams or goals myself. So if he could hook me up with a good job that'd be awesome.
Vil Vil	And yet you've gotten awfully carried away with all this what-if talk. Is your real brother similar to Azul?
Ace Ace	Nah, not at all. He's pretty easy-going and a smooth player. But you could say having him around has been a big help. That's 'cause he's done it all first- going through school and getting a job- so I've been able to learn by his example.
Vil Vil	I can see that. No doubt you got this smart because of him.
Ace Ace	I wouldn't give him credit for everything but... Well, I am pretty grateful. No matter what, if you want to play your cards right you gotta have the right info.

Heartslabyul Dorm - Birthday Party Venue
Vil Vil	Next question, then. If you could pick another dorm to enter, which one would you choose?
Ace Ace	I'd definitely have to say Scarabia!
Vil Vil	You didn't waste any time with this one either. That's refreshing. So did you have your heart set on Scarabia from the beginning?
Ace Ace	Hmm... It's not really like that but... My dorm has a lot of weird rules, and it really sucks when you break one.... So I just thought maybe somewhere else that's a little more laid back and free would be nice. For starters, the atmosphere at Savanaclaw is pretty stuffy with all those jocks so no thanks... And I don't think I'd fit in with the vibe of the other students at Octavinelle and Ignihyde. Diasomnia's out of the question, too. It gives me the creeps and then Sebek would be loud every day. So then that just leaves Scarabia and Pomefiore...
Vil Vil	You seem like you could use a good workout, Ace...
Ace Ace	I've had about enough of that! You're about as strict as my own dorm leader is! So then what would be the point of changing dorms! On the other hand, Kalim-senpai seems like the type that would laugh off any little mistakes, you know? Every now and then Jamil-senpai gets on to me during club practice, but that's still way better than having your head go flying.
Vil Vil	Color me speechless. Haven't you ever once considered turning over a new leaf?
Ace Ace	I'm making enough effort now as is! It's the strict environment that's no good. Also Scarabia is always throwing those banquets, right? I'm jealous when my classmates in that dorm always talk about how amazingly good the food is there. And how they put on a big magic show there... Wish I could've seen it, too~~. S'not fair... I wouldn't wanna stay there forever, but just see what it's like for a few days.
Vil Vil	Ara. Would you just be satisfied with that? For as many complaints as you have about Heartslabyul, not once did you mention wanting to transfer.
Ace Ace	Well, uh... After all, that's where the Dark Mirror put me, which means it suits my soul best or something like that? One way or another, it's going well with my roommates and seniors... So it's not anything enough to make me wanna transfer.
Vil Vil	Hmm. ...Well then, let's leave things there.
Ace Ace	Hey! What's with that smirk on your face~! I don't like where this topic is going so consider it done, finished!!
Ace Ace	So that's it for the interview, huh?
Vil Vil	Indeed. After this is the main event. You set aside the present I gave you, didn't you, Ace?
Ace Ace	We're all good. *Sigh*... This is always so much fun to watch, but then when it's your own turn...
Vil Vil	I don't want to hear any excuses. Now be good and accept my "gift of good fortune".
Ace Ace	Fine, fine! I get it! Just hurry up and get it over with already!
Vil Vil	Brace yourself, then. Ace Trappola... Happy birthday!
(Vil hits Ace with the pie and everyone laughs)
