Backdated event, and April 7th Birthday.

Backdated- April 1st

[Arelen stepped on a plastic pink egg, noticing others as she dried her hair, coming out of the shower.]

What the hell-?

[She bent over and picked it up, fearing the worst, and opened the one she had stepped on.... only to find chocolate. With a relieved sigh, she took a bite and sat on her bed, drying her hair with the towel in her free hand, and saw a blue plastic egg on her nightstand. Thinking it was more chocolate, she casually opened it, to find it completely empty...

Or so she thought]

What a rip off.

[When a voice began to loudly narrate what she was thinking and doing.]

Arelen tossed the wretched plastic to the ground then looked confused at the sky.

Who the hell is in here?!

She angrily clutched the towel to her chest to cover her body more, but alas, there was no one else besides herself in and around her apartment.

Seriously you pervert, show yourself!

She yelled again, and didn't realize that it may have been the blue empty egg she tossed aside. With another snarl, Arelen looked at the egg for any sign of an explanation, and when she found none, she questioned the ceiling.

Why are you describing my- the egg... this world.

She gave a frustrated growling noise.

I hate Genessia.

Action

[Thoroughly annoyed with the Christopher Lee narration, she can be found wandering the streets of Attleton and/or Genessia City any time during this event, to and from work, as well as AT work if you want to hear the narrator talk about her inner-most thoughts.]

Shut up shut up shut up!!

She growled at the sky once more.

[Arelen hesitantly opened one eye, and looked around.]

Hello?

[Silence. SILENCE!! THAT VOICE WAS GONE! She jumped out of bed and accidentally knocked her phone over, turning on the video on the ground at an odd angle as she laughed hysterically.]

That stupid narrator is gone!

[She gasped as she looked at the clock and calendar on her nightstand.]

And just in time too... Happy birthday to me.

[She looked around, looking for something, and picked up the phone.]

Oh!

[She then blinked, noticing the camera was on.]

Shit.

[And turned it off.]

Narrator?

Happy birthday, Arelene. How old are you?

You mean to tell me YOU weren't affected by the eggs around town? I suppose that's a good thing.

[She grinned then, the subject now on her, obviously.]

Thank you. I'm 22. Still exceedingly young and beautiful if I do say so myself.

To be affected by the eggs, you need to eat them. [Kay points to his face. There's no mouth, so he can't eat anything.] This particular madness seems to be tailored for organics.

You're welcome. 22 is a good age. Are you planing of celebrating it?

Honestly? No. I figured I'd probably go to a bar and get wasted. It's not like I have many friends.

[She's only slightly bothered by this in her features, but plays it off. In reality, it bothers her QUITE a bit.]

Besides, I don't think the effects of the eggs have worn off for everyone yet. What's the point of celebrating like that.

No, getting drunk sounds like a better plan.

You're friends with Demyx, you could come celebrate it in our house.

[He thinks that drinking alone in your b-day is a bit sad. Cassian probably has done it in the past.]

Still, you're alive another year. That alone is worth it.

I mean... sure? Seriously Kay, you don't need to be nice to me just because of Demyx. I don't think he even knows it's my birthday.

[She sighed.]

Technically it's the first birthday with a heart again. It's a little weird saying it like that.

Edited 2018-04-08 00:19 (UTC)

I knwo I don't have to and you are...probably right about that. [Demyx is not the most observant.] But I want to.

Yes, I can imagine. But that makes it more special, doesn't it?

I guess you have a point, but-

I mean... If you guys are okay with it.

[There's a small groan as she rubs her face with her hand.]

I suppose a small party won't kill me. Besides, who wouldn't want to celebrate me?

None at all, that's why I suggested it.

Heh. Who, indeed?

When is a good time for you?

[It took a bit to respond as she responded to other messages first.]

I don't know, I guess this afternoon? I uh... [She checked her phone to save the directions to the bar Lucky sent her.] I'm still going to the bar afterwards. But, it actually sounds really nice of you and Cassian, since he's inviting me over now too.

[Kay is in no rush, so he doesn't mind.]

I think we can have everything ready for this afternoon without problem. Him as well? Oh, good. [That ways Kay won't have to talk him into it.]

It's your birthday?!

[ Cassian's looking stunned, before annoyance takes over. ]

Demyx should have thought to tell us! How are we supposed to throw you a proper party at such short notice?

[ Yeah, congrats, Arelen, he's still his split self. You got the far too nice side. Yay. ]

Yes? I don't even think he KNEW it was my birthday. I don't exactly share that information with everyone unless they ask.

[Something is off about him, and she can't put her finger on it.]

But really, Cassian, I don't need a party. I'm fine.

[She's not actually fine, but she plans on drinking her day and night away, so that's fine, right?]

[ Well, shouldn't have said that, it earns her an absolutely horrified look. ]

Of course you're not fine! You should be surrounded by the people who love you on your birthday!

[ Which is a sentiment normal Cassian might share, but he wouldn't look like a kid who had been told that Santa isn't real. ]

Nobody should be alone on their birthday.

People who love- hold on, that might be pushing it- but...

[She frowned about the "being alone" part.]

I've always celebrated alone. I mean, as Nobodies, we didn't celebrate, and I wasn't exactly worth celebrating to my family before that. It really doesn't matter, I'll be fine.

No, you won't.

[ Look at that stubborn face, Arelen, look at it. If you don't agree he'll start pulling out the hurt puppy eyes. ~~This may be his nice side but that just means his guilting people routine comes across more genuine.~~ ]

It doesn't matter if nobody gave you a party before... Well, it matters, but only as another reason why you should get one now. You're worth celebrating to us.

Well considering your robot boyfriend is on my ass about it too, fine. I suppose any excuse to celebrate me is good.

[Look at that, she gave in.]

Oh Arelen, that's fantastic! I'm so happy! We're going to show you that you're very special to us!

[ And he looks absolutely delighted, too. There isn't even a hint of sarcasm to it. Hello creepy pod person Cassian. ]

You should invite all your friends, too.

~~What friends?~~

I'd rather keep it small. I mean you, Kay, and Demyx are going to be there. And maybe that other roommate of yours. That's enough people, right?

[Okay, so she WOULD have invited Amy and Krista, and probably Lea, but seriously Cass you're acting weird. The less people the better.]

[ Awww!

But must be a good encouraging role model - gotta e supportive if she wants a small party! ]

If you would like it to be just us it will be just us. It's your party, you make the rules. [ Except the rules on not having a party. ] But if you can think of anyone else you'd like to invite, you're very welcome to. You don't have to ask us for permission or anything.

It's your birthday? Happy birthday then!

[Lucky's back to his normal age himself, and he's just grinning at Arelen over the feed.]

Got anything planned?

[O hai cute boy. She's just gonna grin and thank whatever is holy that the narrator is not loudly proclaiming her thoughts anymore.]

Thanks. Well, no I didn't have any plans, but I think I'm being forced to a... friend's(?) house?

But I'm all for doing something afterwards to actually celebrate.

[Lucky looks aside for a moment looking thoughtful.]

That could work. Any ideas, or do you want me to come up with something?

[Lucky did you just get talked into a date?]

[It's only a date if you want it to be. Don't make this weird.

~~Make it weird, please make it weird.~~]

I normally like being the one in control, but I'll see what you can come up with first.

I'm Arelen by the way. I don't think you gave me your name.

I'm Lucky, it's nice to meet you.

[Thinky thinky think for a minute....]

There's a bar near my place we could meet up at if you don't mind coming to Nova City.

Must be my "Lucky" day.

[That was a bad joke and you should feel bad, Arelen. Except she doesn't. In fact, it was a poor attempt at flirting. She also knows that if Demyx is even remotely nice to her at the party, she's GOING to need a drink.]

Anywhere to get away from these space freaks forcing me into a family style party. I bet they're even going to sing.

[Obvious cringing is happening, but then she's back to smiling mischievously]

Send me the details and we can do a birthday night the right way.

Okay and....

[icon represents his current internal expression; that pun was the *worst* let's just hope Balance never shows up, Arelen you could learn so many puns from him.

ANYWAY he gives his Fennekin a pat when she flops her head on his shoulder before sending Arelen the address of the bar he was talking about.]

And there we go.

[Arelen. Every time Liora sees her on the network, she recalls their last encounter. Back when Arelen had called herself "Larxene," and hurt Liora in ways that no one else ever had before. But she was also aware that many people were acting differently during that time, and that perhaps Arelen was a victim of Genessia's shenanigans. There's only one way to be sure, and Liora can't keep letting her fears hold her back.]

...Arelen?

[She'll leave it at that for the moment. Better to gauge Arelen's current mood before she decides what to do from here.]

[She glanced at her phone and looked almost confused. She wasn't surprised that the dragon had stopped talking to her. Demyx had moved out, and Liora had stopped talking to her, and Arelen was fine with everyone abandoning her after that stint as Larxene again.

So it was surprising that the video had come through.]

Liora? It's a... nice surprise to hear from you.

[A nice surprise. That's a good sign, but it also makes her feel bad about waiting so long to reach out.]

I'm sorry...I should have contacted you sooner. So...can I come see you?

Um... [She looked around her room and stretched her neck to check the cleanliness of her apartment.] yeah sure. I'm not doing anything.

Okay...um...where can I find you?

[Liora doesn't mind meeting somewhere else if Arelen doesn't think her home is suitable enough.]

Happy birthday!

We're five days apart. Good thing the weirdness affecting you stopped.

[She raised an eyebrow at the stranger, then looked amused.]

Happy birthday to you too then. So is your birthday coming up or did it already happen?

And yeah, thanks, that voice was a pain in the ass.

Thanks.
It happened. Right when I just arrived.

I'm glad I asked about those eggs.

Happy Birthday, girl. I hope that you spend it drinking and dancing.

Because that's the way to do it.

[Lea is back to his normal, adult self too.]

Hey, happy birthday. And thanks for helping me out during the whole egg thing.

Though this reminds me, mine's coming up next week. I'd actually kind of forgotten; been so long since I really bothered to celebrate, you know?

[Handwave~.]

Don't worry about it. Thanks for not... saying anything that stupid narrator said. Sometimes thoughts are meant to STAY thoughts.

Yeah, I'm getting forced to celebrate tonight apparently. Cassian and Kay won't get off my ass about it.

[Eyeroll]

So what are you thinking you want to do on your birthday? You have lots of friends. Do any of them know?

Yeah, tell me about it.

[He looks thoughtful.]

I don't think I told anybody. And being such short notice, I don't know if I should bother now; don't want to sound like I'm fishing for gifts or anything, you know?

I might get a couple of them together to go out for ice cream on the day, but other than that...
