Okay, I swear I will stop talking on the bracelets all the time after this, but it's started to get cold outside-- how does Asgard feel about assumed birthdays? I mean, clearly we don't go by the Gregorian calendar here- and I don't at home anymore, either, we just sort of stick to it out of habit- but it's starting to sort of feel like winter at home, right?

Because my birthday is December first! And I've never got to have a cold December birthday, I grew up on an island, and sand angels never really worked as well as snow angels are supposed to.

[ She's grinning wide, clearly thrilled. ]

Draco got me a puppy.

[ And then, a few moments later, tagged on: ]

If anyone wants to stop in the Highwind restaurant in Heimdall today, I'll buy you a pastry! They're some of our specialties, my treat!

[ Anyone who shows up there... will find her! ]

Actually... I got abducted on my birthday, I think. I was a little busy at the time. So, it's sort of easy for me to know when that is. But, I think assuming your birthdays works just fine. Might as well, right? One day's as good as the other in my book. Happy Birthday, incidentally. What is this for you now?

...what kind of puppy?

It would technically be my sixteenth. I don't think that I'm sixteen years old yet - as in, I don't think an entire year has passed since my last birthday - but shhh, I'm going to cheat a little bit.

[Add Riku to the winter-birthdays-on-islands club, because he's never had a snow birthday before too.]

So, then, how do we beat a puppy?

[Fishing for gift ideas and conveniently avoiding the birthday questions? Maaaaaaaybe.]

[nukeoleptic]

I'm not sure!

[ She's cracking up a little at that, peering close at the screen. ]

I dunno that a puppy can be beaten!

[have another "island home = few cold birthdays" club member! he doesn't see what's so great about cold birthdays, though...]

Do you think keeping track of your birthday is that important here?

audio;

[nukeoleptic]

Nope, not at all.

[ Cheerfully. ]

But I think celebrating some could be nice.

[integrous]

Can't you just have a sort-of birthday party? You know, throw a party either way regardless of whether it's really your birthday on that day or not!

video;

[nukeoleptic]

I like that idea a lot! Maybe not a party. But I'll buy a pastry for anyone who comes into the restaurant today!

Happy assumed birthday.

[Though, he has no real feelings towards birthdays since Roxas technically disappeared on his, and he'd never live to see his birthday if he even has one. But, he's happy enough that Jade's around, so he'll have to figure out a birthday present for her...later.]

[nukeoleptic]

Thank you.

[ .... ]

I like your voice, by the way. I'm glad you've started talking more.

Snow angels? [ pinged by angels ]

A puppy... pet, right? What's its name?

[Video]

[nukeoleptic]

Yep! Just little angels you make in the show. It seems really cold, but a lot of fun.

Aaand I haven't named him yet!

[video]

[wasthemaster]

[...yeah you know what, just this face. All over. She might even hear the resounding sound of Draco smacking his palm into his forehead because goddamnit, Jade, why do you have to tell everyone that he apparently has a soft spot for you?]

[video]

[nukeoleptic]

[ CRACKING UP. Because you left a puppy and a note on her doorstep, Draco. A puppy and a note. ]

I'm sure one could roughly calculate what day December 1st would correspond to based on the days that the equinoxes and solstices fall on, if it was a really pressing matter.

[but more of interest:]

So, Mr. Malfoy got you such a present, hm? What a soft-hearted gentleman.

[video]

[nukeoleptic]

That's assuming there is one. This place doesn't really seem to follow the same seasonal pattern that I'm used to.

[ And hrm. ]

-- he is! Just don't call him that to his face, please.

[fiduspear]

[ Puppy. Tavros just spends a few minutes smiling broadly at the screen before his face scrunches up in confusion. ] What's a birthday?

[nukeoleptic]

It's, um - humans are born, not hatched, it's the anniversary of the day you were born. We usually put a lot of stock into celebrating those.

[extradite]

...Happy Birthday.


[ sullenly, because you're still younger. ]

[nukeoleptic]

Thank you!

[ Not sullenly at all. Just happily! ]

[voice.]

[coreyhartenthusiast]

I couldn't even make sand angels, Jade. I had to make roof-gravel angels. Where's my puppy? Where's my justice.

[voice.]

[nukeoleptic]

Do you want to share Osiris with me? It's practically your birthday, too.

[video]

[tipsygnostalgia]

It'd better not try to eat my cats!

[video]

[nukeoleptic]

I promise he'll behave!

[occulthymns]

I... kind of celebrated my birthday here. I got a cake.

[Which wasn't too bad, given she normally dislikes her birthday.]

... Draco's good at gift-giving, huh?

[Audio]

[nukeoleptic]

A cake! Was your birthday recent? I can bring you another.

-- and he is! One of the best presents ever.
