It was time for one of THOSE dreams again. Sachiko's dreams were usually of things that related to the day's events, but these were always the exception. Her only wish was that she could bring herself to interact with them more. She had an intense desire to poke fun at the man called Igor's nose. It was so ridiculous! But she never did speak. Only listened. She, like a few others, reached out to take a card. Sachiko couldn't help but be excited at the prospect of something other than more and more nonsensical rambling occurring in one of these funky visions. She took the card and looked at it. It depicted a moon. Before she could contemplate the meaning, she found herself wide awake. She giggled a little at how seriously she seemed to be taking what went on there. She imagined it would amount to nothing much in the long run, and clambered out of bed to begin the new day.

One look at her calendar made Sachiko's eyes light up. It was Kaminari's birthday! Today would have at least one pleasant event in it. She had already prepared a present to give to him and everything. She was a little disappointed she hadn't heard of any plans to throw a celebration for him. She would've planned one herself, but she had a feeling she had spent enough money on the present. Her family wasn't poor, but she sure wasn't made of money. But Kaminari was almost always busy anyways, so a party would probably be a wasted effort. A lack of festivities wasn't going to stop her from tracking him down and delivering her present, however! She gathered up the present and exited her house, breaking into a skipping motion when she was out on the street.

[b]"You!"[/b] Sachiko's shout upon finding Kami would disrupt the usual quiet of the park. [b]"You should not be so hard to find on your own birthday!"[/b] Sachiko had first gone by his house, and found it empty. So she resolved to check out his usual haunts to find him. Because she wasn't letting the opportunity to give a friend a gift pass without going to all lengths necessary. She was just glad she had the luck to find him before he had to go do detective things or whatever kept him busy on his own birthday. Coming closer to him, she continued talking. [b]"Anyway! Here you go!"[/b] She handed him the present, which was presently wrapped. [b]"I pre-ordered you the latest in the Chief Inspector Gamache series. I don't know what it's about, but I heard it's highly acclaimed and I know you love your detective stuff. Happy birthday, Kami! NOW PREPARE YOURSELF!"[/b] She quickly closed in and gave him a strong hug. This was another birthday tradition she never missed an opportunity to perform.
