So, it looks as though I missed my Birthday through the castle turning me into a Whitelighter.

Not that it matters. Another year to add onto countless more.

[Added later]

Whoever sent me the cupcake... Thanks. That was kind.

[black_dog_bite]

Happened to you too, eh?

[encryptedlock]

...Well, if it didn't matter, you wouldn't have noticed it.

[demontobeloved]

Well, it's been over a week, so I wouldn't say it was that important.

When you reach over a hundred, Birthdays seem to lose their allure.

[demontobeloved]

Yep. Not that it matters too much. Birthdays are more or less the same when you're over a hundred.

[encryptedlock]

So you say - but you noticed it anyway. Has to mean something.

[demontobeloved]

Habit, I'm sure. When you're a demon, your birthday's just another day.

[encryptedlock]

No creepy birthday presents from the castle or anything?

[black_dog_bite]

Over a hundred?

[demontobeloved]

Yup. Tends to happen when you're immortal.

[demontobeloved]

The castle gives out presents?

[Someone hasn't even found his Christmas gift yet. Probably because he hasn't been looking.]

[encryptedlock]

A lot of the time, yeah. Didn't you get anything for Christmas? Or--wait, you probably don't celebrate it, do you?

[demontobeloved]

Well, that's a little bit complicated.

[He's often had to partake in Christmas festivities. Usually to kill someone.]

I'm not the type of guy who usually hangs stockings by the fire.

[black_dog_bite]

Makes plenty of sense.

I missed my birthday too. I'm not immortal or anything, but...

[encryptedlock]

Figured it might be. [Being a demon, and all.]

Well, a lot of people got something, so you might want to look around. Even if it wasn't for Christmas, you might find something for a birthday present.

[peeta_bread]

It was your birthday? [Doesn't even know you and is concerned.]

Happy Belated Birthday! I'm Peeta! What's your name?

[kungfuwitch]

[She can't bring herself to respond. She remembers his birthday for quite a different reason, after all. She has the ghosts bring him a cupcake with a candle in it. There's a small card next to it on the tray embossed with "Happy Birthday, Cole."]

[demontobeloved]

Already said it doesn't really matter.

[He chuckles anyway.] Thanks, though. I'm Cole.

[demontobeloved]

Yeah, you never know.

[Someone's not sounding too optimistic about getting presents.]

[demontobeloved]

Well, I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one.

[peeta_bread]

'Course it matters.

[Cole may be able to hear some clanking around in the background, but Peeta goes on.]

Nice to meet you. Am I allowed to ask how old you are?

[encryptedlock]

Hell, I got an ATV once. It's not always bad.

[Since that didn't sound too enthusiastic.]

[demontobeloved]

Going on past a hundred.

[black_dog_bite]

It gets pretty busy around here sometimes, doesn't it?

[demontobeloved]

ATV?

[Someone's also not up on his military acronyms. And fishing for a topic change.]

[demontobeloved]

I think annoying is a more apt word.
