A birthday just isn't the same without all your friends to share it with, is it?

[ there's a moment's pause, before ... ]

I guess it doesn't matter much when we don't age at all, though.

Comments

[fanstheflame]

[Gale sighs, looking up from the structure he's sketching out for Crowley's cats. shh. it's a surprise]

It matters to me.

[room filter]

[ino]

[ just looks up at him from her spot on the bed. she is sorry for her lame pathetic self, gale ... but ugh, this is like the worst birthday ever, seriously. she sighs and hugs a pillow ]

I'll never look a day older than I do now. Neither will you.

[gottaknockhard]

You make a good point.

[About it not mattering... But no, he's teasing. Because it's obvious she's expecting a 'happy birthday' and who makes it that easy.]

[ensorceler]

[ Birthdays shouldn't be that big of a deal, anyway... But they seem to be so here, and she'd done something special for the Once-ler during his because of this. ]

We must celebrate.

Dictated forever

[whichwayyoulean]

[The Once-ler's accepted these leavings as inevitability, as something that was bound to happen eventually. But Ino's comment makes him address the journal regardless]

Nuh uh. You're not allowed to pull that one. I still owe you for my birthday, remember?

Action forever

[onlyanapple]

[Yep, guess who's going to just...let himself into your room, guys? Your favourite alcoholic demon roomate, that's who. He wanders over and casually hands a bottle of whiskey to Ino]

If you're going to mope about it, at least do it properly.

[ino]

Obviously. I wouldn't have said it otherwise.

[ SORRY SPIKE. she is cranky right now ]

[ino]

There's not a whole lot to celebrate lately.

[ino]

You don't owe me anything.

[ hello my name is ino i'm stubborn as fuck ]

[ensorceler]

That is why we find reasons to celebrate; to be grateful for.

hahaha crowley ilu

[ino]

[ she is glad to see crowley, but the stuff he offers her ... she wrinkles her nose ]

No thanks. That stuff tastes awful.

[ino]

There's plenty to be grateful for still, that's true. I guess it's just hard to get into the mood to party.

[gottaknockhard]

[Not as planned. So he'll just roll with it and try again.]

So why say it at all?

[ensorceler]

How would you rather spend this day?

[ino]

Because it's my birthday, and it's the worst one yet.

[gottaknockhard]

I thought they didn't get depressing until you got older.

[ino]

I think that only applies to places outside of Paradisa.

[ino]

I don't know. I don't really feel like doing much of anything.

[gottaknockhard]

It does kind of take the fun out of a birthday wish if you're too used to getting them on any other day.

[whichwayyoulean]

[She is countered by Once-ler also stubborn as fuck]

Yeah, well even if you think that, I don't. I've got you a present anyway, so come on, come get it.

[ino]

That's not really the point.

[ino]

[ ugh. getting up and DOING stuff. but maybe a walk will be good for her?

ugh.]

Fine ...

[ensorceler]

You do not think your life worth celebrating?

[gottaknockhard]

No? I was hoping to get a point for knowing about those.

best roomie

[onlyanapple]

Fine, would you prefer something else? I have a well stocked bar.
