[ 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 ]

How do you drive without a road?

Special wheels?

Well there's a road to the city! And a couple beaten paths!

But mostly if you have the right tires, it can be all right!

They're safe?

Mm! I've never had trouble.

I never imagined the cars here could do that. Maybe because it's Crowley-san's car.

[an amused sound]

Well the terrain here isn't that bad. So I'd imagine it's easier here than on Earth.

I was in a car once here!

But Reno-san... drove like a maniac.

Reno?

[he pauses a moment as he tries to remember that guy......]

[And he makes an incredibly sickened noise when he does! ]

Ehhhhh...not that guy again...!

[ Somehow doesn't manage to notice and instead is like :D friends knowing old friends!! ]

Ah, Allen-kun knows him?

K-Know him?!

Faith and him would always-

UGH!! Now I'm remembering it!

[And this is the cautionary tale of filters and shared names, Uru]

Hm? [ MAN I CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER IF SHE KNEW ABOUT THEM BOINKING... but she does remember Faith and Reno were friends. ] What is it?

Ehhhhh....

[a long pause]

I'm sorry but...I'm not sure it's something...a-approriate to speak about. [He feels sick...]

Are you okay, Allen-kun?

Ah- I'm fine! I just-

[He has to give some explanation; but that's gross to think about AND he'd kinda have to explain...why he can see a filter called "Red", oops]

[On the other hand, he also can't lie to Uru, uuugh what do]

J-Just sometimes I would...accidentally come across their...more private...conversations.

[ She has to think about that for a second. Private? Like their secrets?

... SOMETHING ROMANTIC??

But hang on. ]

Eh? Like... in the journal?

[CRAP WHY DID YOU ASK THAT]

Um...yes. There.

[ A long pause. ]

... How did you see filters? [ It had to be under a filter, right? ]

Um...

[Rock. Meet hard place. ]

It's not important. Forget I said anything.

... Okay!

[A slight relieved sigh]

Thank you.
