Good morning, Luceti! I'm twenty-one today!

[And clearly, she's just a little font of joy because of it.]

This is the first birthday I've had outside of my tower at home. I know Eugene had a rave, but what has everyone else done for their birthdays while they've been here? Or, I suppose if you haven't had a birthday here, what did you typically do?


[Action]

[Elizabeth doesn't take the day off, even though it's her birthday. She's happy being out and about, enjoying the day and being in the village. She goes to the grocery store, pokes around the item shop and clothing shop a little, picks up some of Booker's preferred whiskey at Good Spirits... she's even running errands she really doesn't have to run. And while she loves the library, today she chooses to read for a bit outdoors--because otherwise she'd spend all day inside. It's a good day to be alive, and that's how Elizabeth is viewing it, and she's going to spend it out in the world. For the first time.]

Happy birthday. [Shu doesn't want to be here! But he's trying his best not to be so annoyed about what happened before. ]

Nothing special, really. I'd just spend some time with Haruka. We were fine with things being simple. [He sounds like such a killjoy. Birthday parties weren't that big of a deal for him.]

[tearmeanewone]

Thank you, Shu. [She's trying too, but it's a little hard for her.]

Simple sounds good to me, too. [She's trying to be polite, at least? Even if she can't hide all of her annoyance from the previous argument.]

voice

[iwannabethegai]

So what are you planning?

Did you get any ideas yet? [When Gai's not around, Shu's mature enough to not let his emotions get the better of him. He doesn't want to think about how this might make him mad.]

voice

[tearmeanewone]

Well, I made plans with one of my friends for this evening. Just for a couple of hours. I'm not really sure what he has planned, to be honest...

voice

[iwannabethegai]

You have people who appreciate you.

Just be thankful for whatever they decide to do.

voice

[tearmeanewone]

I wasn't planning on being ungrateful...

[Seriously Shu? Are you getting sads all over her birthday post?]

voice

[iwannabethegai]

I'm just saying that not everyone can be as fortunate as you.

It's a privilege to be able to celebrate something.

[Because he's used to living in worse circumstances than this. At least they have time to celebrate.]

voice

[tearmeanewone]

...Are you always this exciting on special occasions, or did you drink too much coffee this morning?

voice

[iwannabethegai]

I'll leave that one up to your imagination. [With how hard he's been working lately, coffee actually sounds tempting. He's not much of a coffee person though.]
