─ one hundred & thirty-seven

[amiable]

[ friends ]

Are you guys busy on April seventh? It’s a Saturday, and I’m not working... so I was wondering if we could all get together. [ A brief pause. Then pretty sheepishly: ] It’s my birthday on the second and I wanted to celebrate with all my friends! We can have a party in the ballroom since my own apartment is way too small to hold everyone.

I’d really love it if you guys could come. I just want to spend more time having fun and crea–creating happier memories with you all.

If you’re not busy on April seventh, I would be really happy if you came by the ballroom for a birthday party! Your fiancée is also welcome to join. [ In fact, she should really come. ]


[ tavros ]

Can I ask you something? Nepeta said I should ask you.


[ And today, Uru can be found at the duck pond accompanied by adorable ducks she's feeding, and a certain blue footed pal. Her journal lays open to the side, so it'll be picking up the occasional quacking and what sounds like, "Julian!"

It's been over two weeks since the weird message in her journal, plus that strange feeling that shook her for a bit. She might have been imagining it, but the weird stuff did happen on the leap day...

Hesitantly, she'll start: ]

I guess Julian migrated to wherever the ducks went for the winter. I knew he'd have more fun out here with them then being stuck in my apartment. He looks really healthy, too. I wonder where it is they fly off to. The south?

[ ... ]

Hey... um! At the end of February, the castle's magic acted really strangely, didn't it? It's just... has anyone felt or heard anything weird lately? [ A beat. ] Something creepy, maybe?! Or maybe it was just a cruel prank.

Or I'm imagining it? [ A heavy sigh. That's probably it. ]


[ ooc: open through journal or action at the duck pond. :D ]

[ Oh, she has an idea now. ]

Hey, will you be free on April seventh?

[wilder]

Huh? Why?

[amiable]

I'm having a birthday party that day. It'd be nice if all my friends could show up!

[wilder]

[Whoa. That is...friendly]

Heh. I'm flattered, but haven't we just met, darling?

[amiable]

Yes, but we're friends now, aren't we? And a friend of Colette-chan's is a friend of mine!

[wilder]

[He's not even sure what to make of this genuine friendliness my god...]

Heh heh...okay. I'll see if I'm free!

[amiable]

There'll be delicious food!

[wilder]

[YES AND FRIENDSHIP AND HAPPINESS AND PUPPIES...this terrifies him]

Are you cooking it?

[amiable]

Not all of it!

[wilder]

I see.

Just don't work yourself too hard, okay darling? Birthdays are supposed to be your special day, after all.

[...he thinks]

[amiable]

I just want to have fun with all my friends on that day.

[wilder]

[Jeez this chick is reminding him of Colette. The friendly part he never could be.]

Heh. I'm sure you will.

[amiable]

It's strange to think this is my... third birthday here?

[wilder]

Really?

How old does that make you?

[amiable]

Nineteen soon! [ A pause. ] I'd be done university by now back home.

[wilder]

Whoa- really?!

Man I got that wrong...!

[amiable]

Eh?

[wilder]

Oh nothing, my darling.

I'm just getting used to that whole thing where people don't age here.

[ ...

...

... He thought she was younger. ]

[amiable]

[ S-Sob. Tugs at her own hair a bit. ]

No, the magic stops us from growing. I have a friend who should be hitting puberty, but he hasn't.

[wilder]

Colette mentioned that. And heh, that's gotta reaaally suck for him.

[amiable]

I'm sure I'd be taller by now if it weren't for the magic stopping it.

I FORGOT THAT YOU REPLIED TO THIS...

[wilder]

Maybe, but you're not that bad a height now!

weh :'(

[amiable]

[ Ffffff. ]

But everyone mistakes me for younger!

[wilder]

Well that's...nooot entirely the height's....fault.
