Session 113

Synopsis
==Summary==
The party discusses what to get Kiki and Kiono for their birthdays. They go to Wolis and decide to split up for some shopping. Teer, Kiono, and Kiki go together, while Ephemera, Belle, and Esteem go another way. Ephy, Belle, and Esteem find a shop which almost exclusively deals in portable items. After far too much time, Ephy purchases a wand of Sending for her; Esteem purchases a magic-magnetic portable chess set, though a magical amethyst chess set also caught his eye. They also purchase a life-size cat plush and a ginormous plush. Kiono commissions a staff from a woodworker; Teer purchases mysterious Inner Workings for a project; Kiki is so bored but has a sweetroll. Akaros also heads off on his own to do some window shopping. 
Kiono asks Azaria about Concludion's parents, wanting to know about "what they had" that Concludion wants. They were interested in exploring the world and did so as a family. They found joy in each other's fascinations and were intent on living life to their fullest. He was an anthropologist, she was interested in the artifacts. Kiono admits that she can't figure out what love really looks or feels like to know what is going on with her and Concludion. 
Kitano and Concludion are already here, having arrived after Kiono and remained hidden. Kitano is hiding in shadows; he claims to have wrapped up Concludion and put him under a table. 
Teer goes to Oceanside and gets the birthday soup from the Soup Lady. He then goes to set up some decorations only to find that Esteban has already been decorating in preparation for Kiono and Kiki's birthday party, two very clear sets of decorations. Victor Zarius arrives, having heard through the grapevine that they were having a birthday party for Kiono. Ephy and Teer take Esteem to Life is Pain to meet Xelbari and get ice cream from him. Azaria was apparently Very On Top Of Things and ordered ice cream ahead of time. Xelbari also has gifts for both Kionos, so Teer invites him to the party. Xelbari opens a rift and summons a pit fiend named Chuck, who is register trained, and has him watch the shop. 
During this time, Belle keeps Kiki occupied, putting flowers in her hair and helping her put on a nice birthday dress provided by Azaria.
