I’ll make a proper post for bday deuce voicelines with images later but to summarize:
Boy is just happy to have his best bud(aka mc) celebrate his birthday with him.
Riddle gifts him an alarm clock - which he is happy about since an honor student has to always be punctual.
Ace and Grim are gonna perform some ‘tricks’ for him but he’s wary of the mischevious smiles on their face haha
Sebek gifted him a reference book... however it’s meant for kids so he’s not happy about that LOL
A bunch of people are trying to steal the precious/limited cup noodles that Idia got for him so he asks mc to hide it for him lmao
He’s happy to have an NRC jacket with his name stitched on it. It also reminds him of his days speeding around on his bike so he feels like riding one again
He’s suddenly asked to say a few words as the bday boy and he freaks out, and says “I’ll be aiming for that honor seat full speed ahead this year too! Please take care of me!!” at max volume lmaoo
Asks mc to repeat what they said last because the crackers messed with his ear drums lol
We hear a cute yawn of his cos he was so excited about the party he didn’t sleep well
and finally he laughs after getting creamed from head to toe and tells mc to be careful not to get too close to him or they’ll get dirty too
Deuce Union Birthday Personal Story Translation Part 1
(A/N: I’ll add images later, rn I’m just gonna type as I read the story)
Happy Birthday!
Heartslabyul Dorm - Birthday Party Venue
Deuce: The Birthday Special Interview huh... I always get nervous with formal stuff like this.
Deuce: It’s tradition after all, I’ll do my best to give appropriate responses.
Deuce: That said, the Presenter chosen by the magical birthday dice is supposed to be here by now...
???: Haa..... I mean sure, I’ll do my job since I was picked anyways but ugh... what a pain.... Excuse me....
Deuce: Shroud-senpai... OSU!! THANK YOU FOR COMING!!
Idia: Yikes.....!! The loud-ass voice reserved for the muscle-brain types!
Idia: D-D-Deuce-shi... you were already on stand by huh... super early...
Deuce: So you were picked by the Presenter! I’m honored to celebrate with you!
Idia: It’s not like I came because I wanted to... but well, anyways... here’s your present....
Deuce: Thank you very much! What a big bag.... I wonder what’s in it....
Deuce: This is...!
Idia: 20 variety of Cup Noodles, chosen by yours truly. From local specialties to the low-carb variety that’s been the rage these days, we’ve got it all.
Idia: Well I think it’s good enough for a young HS boy with a healthy appetite... not that I’d know anything about that...
Idia: It’s all stuff I usually eat anyways but, I’m sure you’ll find something you’ll like out of all these choices.
Deuce: Does that mean you like cup noodles too, senpai?
Idia: “Too”... guess I picked right after all heh.
Idia: Rather than ‘liking’ it, it’s just really convenient... takes out the hassle of cooking and gets done in just a few minutes...
Deuce: Right! All you have to do is add some hot water and yet it fills you up. They all taste good too!
Deuce: On days we have club activities... especially when there’s a match around the corner to train for, my stomach never lasts till lunchtime.
Deuce: I can’t just buy whatever I want lest I want a hole in my wallet... but I also can’t simply starve myself the whole time so...
Idia: Ah.... When you’re focused on something it’s all good, but the moment you realize you’re hungry, it’s hard to deal with.
Deuce: Yeah... Once, Jack told me that boxers tend to beat their hunger by drinking loads of water but...
Deuce: When I tried it out thinking it’d be a good idea, it didn’t work like I wanted it to....
Idia: Well duh, it’s just water.
Deuce: But now thanks to you, it looks like I won’t go hungry during club hours for a good while, thank you so much!
Deuce: But still, this is quite amazing. I’ve tried many different flavors by now but...
Deuce: There’s a whole bunch I’ve never even seen before! It almost feels too good to be true... huh?
Deuce: I’m pretty sure this went out of stock when I was still in elementary school...
Idia: Ahh that. That one had a limited reproduction sale happen recently, I got a mail from the manufacturer and managed to get it in bulk, just in time.
Idia: Due to heavy access on the site on it’s release day, the site went down in one minute and it was sold out. Now it’s being sold at a premium, looks like.
Deuce: HUH!? A-Are you sure it’s ok for me to have something as precious as this...!?
Idia: I got it ez with a box worth to spare so it’s fine, it’s fine...
Deuce: How nostalgic... I used to just love eating this with eggs!
Deuce: And this sea-food base one- it’s popular to add milk to it but I’ve found that it’s just as delicious adding an egg instead-
Idia: Deuce-shi... do you add anything OTHER than eggs?
Deuce: But eggs just go with every flavor!! You can never go wrong adding eggs, I recommend it!
Idia: Hmm.... I think it takes away from the fast-and-easy selling point of cup noodles... but well, guess I’ll give it a shot if I feel like it...
Deuce: To be wished ‘Happy Birthday’ by my best bud.... today is such a great day.
Deuce: Crap.... I’m sure I’m making a weird face right now.... I just can’t help but let a smile slip because I’m so happy.
Deuce: But still, thank you so much MC! I’ll make sure to remain as someone you can wish ‘Happy Birthday’ to from now on as well!
I can’t help but make connections to Deuce and his attachment to mc.... just like in his wishes card, he seems to have a hard time imagining a future where they aren’t together.... the nuance in his lines.... my heart....
Buried in college projects but guess who pulled bday Deuce first try second year in a row!! That’s right, this girl!! Some well needed serotonin boost right there
(Also got 3 Gala Ace SRs similarly)
I’m seriously too busy but I might try to translate the card stories during break today
Also the new room feature is SUPER cute and I want it in every game ever but doesn’t change the fact I’m too busy to play lately :’(((
regular posting time to say I enjoy all of your funny little tags when you reblog stuff from here, honestly makes my day when I read the notifs, thank you!
In the year 1 bday login Ace was like “Haha can’t wait to order you around” while this year Ace was just. a tiny bit desperate. to have mc remember his birthday that he was literally sweating.
The development is so wholesome to see I cry
Summoning
The person of the day has arrived~! ...Just kidding, I’m counting on you to make this a good one!
Summoning Sprite
Thanks for the present! I’ll have you stick with me for the whole day, so you better be prepared!
Groovy
This was a good birthday... What, even I can be honest sometimes ya know!
Setting on Homescreen
Well then, time to be lavished in attention!
Home lines
[1] Oh! Found my helper~ The senpais from the Basketball club gave me a whole load of sport drinks, so, you’re gonna help me carry them all, right?
[2] You guys really suck at trying to surprise people. From the moment Epel came to get me, it was really hard to pretend I didn’t know what was going on y’know?
[3] Even if I happen to break some of the dorm rules today, my neck will still be safe~ If only every day were just like this!
On login
Oh~ Grim and you seem to be real energetic today! Well, it’s my birthday after all, it’s better than you being all meek!
After Groovy
Hey, let’s go out to the nearby town sometime soon! Vil-senpai gave me some pointers on coordinating outfits, I’d like to try it out~
Home tap lines
[1] Jamil-senpai passed me the ball at the perfect time! I got to score a real good shot on my birthday!
[2] This? Um, it’s a reference book that Dorm head Riddle...gifted me. I’m happy that he wished me but, he never changes, does he...
[3] Ortho is amazing! Thanks to him helping me out, I managed to get a pair of sneakers I’ve been having my eye on, for super cheap!
[4] My dad sent me a new tool for a magic trick, I’ll show it to you sometime soon.
[5] You’ve been tickling me for a while now! I get that you’re curious about the embroidery on the back but c’mon...
After Groovy
[6] Hey, why’ve you been staring at my face and smiling for some time now... wait, is there still some cream on my face!? Oi, don’t just laugh, tell me!!
Ace Union Birthday Personal Story Translation Part 3
Happy Birthday!
[SPOILER WARNING FOR HIS GROOVY ART AT THE END OF THE POST!]
Vil: Alright then, onto the next question.
Vil: “If you could choose to be in any dorm other than Heartslabyul, which one would you pick?”
Ace: Obviously it’s gotta be Scarabia!
Vil: Another prompt answer, it’s actually quite refreshing. Would you have been better off in Scarabia in the first place?
Ace: Mmm.... I don’t mean it like that, but...
Ace: Think about it, our Dorm has way too many complicated rules, and if I break even one of them, the result is pretty scary...
Ace: That’s why, I think it would be cool to be in a dorm that’s a lot more laidback, y’know?
Ace: First, there’s Savanaclaw, which is way too focused on sports and athleticism, way too cramped for my style.
Ace: Then there’s Octanivelle and Ignihyde... I just feel like I wouldn’t vibe with the students there...
Ace: Diasomnia is a hard no. It’s kinda scary, and moreover, and imagining dealing with Sebek on a daily basis sounds like a pain in the neck with how noisy he’d be.
Ace: So that leaves me with Scarabia and Pomefiore...
Vil: Well, you certainly have the potential to shine with some help, Ace.
Ace: That’s exactly the problem!
Ace: I think you’re just as strict as our own Dorm Head, so that’d make switching dorms a moot point!
Ace: Compared to that, I think Kalim-senpai is a lot more easygoing, he’d probably just let me off with a smile even if I made some mistakes here and there.
Ace: Jamil-senpai does get on my case sometimes during club activities, but it’s nowhere near as bad as having to deal with my head nearly rolling off!
Vil: I’m astounded. How about you try to fix your attitude towards life first?
Ace: I think I’m working plenty hard already! You can blame the environment that expects too much first~
Ace: Also, from what I hear, Scarabia is always hosting feasts on the fly right?
Ace: A classmate of mine from Scarabia is always going on and on about how amazing their food is.
Ace: They even had some large scale magic shows too... not fair, I want in on that!
Ace: I wouldn’t say I want to experience that all the time but, spending a few days at their dorm doesn’t sound like such a bad idea...
Vil: Oh, just a few days?
Vil: Despite your passionate complaints about your dorm’s rules, not once have you tried transferring from there, isn’t that right?
Ace: Ahh...well, y’know.... the great Mirror chose Heartslabyul for me, it’s the dorm that matches my soul the closest, right?
Ace: And well, I get along just fine with my roommates and senpais, so there isn’t really a reason for me to go somewhere else...
Vil: Hmmm..... Well, let’s leave it at that.
Ace: Wha- What’s with that smirk! We’re getting off track, this conversation is done!!
Ace Union Birthday Personal Story Translation Part 1
Happy Birthday!
Heartslabyul Dorm: Party Venue
Ace: The Presenter chosen by the Magical Birthday Dice will bring you good luck huh...
Ace: It’s like we’re greeting the day by testing our luck on our birthdays... Well, if we’re gonna get something, then you’d want something good right?
Ace: I wonder who’s it gonna be... It’d be real nice if it was Kalim-senpai, he seems like the type to lavish someone with extravagant gifts!
???: Sorry to disappoint, but it’s not Kalim.
Vil: Vil Schoenheit, your Presenter for the day.
Ace: Vil-senpai!!
Ace: Hey I’m lucky after all! I’m sure you’ve picked out something great!
Ace: I’m so stoked! What’ve you got for me?
Vil: Someone sure is excited...
Vil: Happy Birthday, Ace. Here’s your present from me.
Ace: Thank you so much Vil-senpai~~ I’m gonna go ahead and open it now!
Ace: Eh!?
Ace: No way, the logo on this box... isn’t this a really high class brand!?
Ace: And inside.... it’s a pair of sunglasses!
Ace: It’s got a golden frame, and the lens are tinted brown... it’s so cool that it gives off a mature vibe!
Ace: I’m so pumped! I’m seriously so glad that Vil-senpai was the one chosen to be my Presenter!!
Vil: That is an appropriate reaction. It was quite difficult to prepare the perfect gift within the budget.
Ace: Dang, I’m way too happy right now... I mean, seriously though, how did you manage to get your hands on something like this within the budget?
Ace: No matter how you look at it, this thing is brand new... and it’s shape is fashioned after the latest trends too...
Vil: Well, you certainly have a good eye. In fact, I had a magazine shoot to attend the day after I was selected to be your Presenter.
Vil: They had brought these sunglasses for the shoot to promote their brand for the next season.
Vil: The moment I laid my eyes on it, I knew it would suit you perfectly. I managed to get it at the price of a sample, so it was still within the budget.
Vil: Not only will it look good with your outfit today, you can coordinate it with your regular outfits as well.
Ace: Coordinate.... ahhh, but you know~
Ace: The hurdle may be just a bit too high for me... maybe if I had some help from the great and fashionable Vil-senpai.... Just kidding...
Vil: Well, it is your birthday today... Fine, I shall teach you the basics myself.
Ace: As expected of Vil-senpai! Lemme just brag about this on Magicame~
Vil: In that case, lend me your phone. If you’re going to talk about it on Magicame, then you need a good photo to go with it.
Ace: Pleeeease and thank you~
Ace: Ah, Vil-senpai, you were on a magazine cover recently wearing sunglasses right? How was the pose again, something like this?
Vil: Not at all. Push out your chin, and look straight. Then, tip the sunglasses a little further down...
Ace: How about now? Looking good?
Vil: I’ll give it a passing grade. Now hold that pose, make sure you don’t move...
