Birthday Melon Mayhem at VA-11 Hall-A

Jill

One birthday special coming up—Noko's favorite melon cream soda with extra syrup.

Noko

Jill's heels click like countdown timers... best sound ever!

Anko

Jill

Just a little bartender's secret—every birthday needs a surprise.

Torako

Anko, she's filming—this is going viral if Noko spits it out!

Noko

Mmm—perfect balance of sweet and... wait, why is my tongue numb?

Jill

(That wasn't sour—it was my new experimental flavor-neutralizer. Let's see how long before she notices everything tastes like water.)

Anko

Smile, Noko—your birthday just became the first episode of "Tasteless Adventures"!
