[today is a very special day! and battler will cut right to the chase.]

You know, it's so weird.... I've seen my birthdays come and go plenty, but this one just feels so strange to me-! Why? Well, when I say come and go.... ihihi.... I mean literally. I've watched my past two birthdays fly by, and I still remained the same age. I was caught in a place where time didn't move, it didn't even matter! I only knew it was my birthday from the place that was sort of similar to this one from before.

So... I know it's October back in my own world, it has to be! I wonder.... the date says it's my birthday, but... aahh it's all useless! I guess I can embrace this, yeah in fact I'll take it head on!

Ihihihi~! It's my birthday today! I'm turning 19 everyone! Line up, don't be shy, I'll be accepting both gifts and birthday wishes!

You're living here now so it counts. Mine's probably way more confusing than yours if you're going to pull all that weird time stuff.

...Should I make you dinner tonight?

[ It sounds like a threat, no matter how she puts it. ]

[ifbymyhands]

Happy birthday~!

*...do you want to know what she got you

she's smiling more than she was when she gave you that stupid crab shirt two birthdays ago*

So today is the day, I was suppose to make the cake?

[It's about the only thing he'd have done around here that he was suppose to do.]

[chestboard]

You're right about that.... is your birthday still the same? I wonder.

Ah, sure! [JUST... DON'T POISON HIM.]

[chestboard]

Thanks Kanooooo~! [oh god he's scared already.]

[chestboard]

Sure, you can go ahead and do that! That will be the best gift to me!

[ifbymyhands]

I'll be right over with your present, okay?

Do you even remember when my birthday is?

It's probably going to end up being microwaved potatoes or salad, but I can take you out if you don't want that. [ It's his birthday, she's trying not to poison him..!! ]

[behindthefakesmile]

And what kind of cake would you like?

[greenmagick]

Excuse me? What is a Birthday? [Her voice is soft and shy as she looks curiously into the screen.

Terra understands the name but cake and presents? That is new to her and she doesn't understand what purpose they serve.]

[chestboard]

Sure! I'm waiting for you-!

[chestboard]

Same month as me, right? Hm... is it the 30th?

[he can sort of remember, but they never really celebrated her birthday too much.]

Ah... how about we eat out, yeah!

video;

[chestboard]

Anything at all! Nothing too over the top with the sweetness though, I can't handle it if it's too much.

[ifbymyhands]

*Kano shows up with a big box, knocking on the door with her foot.

She's also looking away red-faced, though it's hard to tell if she's embarrassed at her idea of a good present or struggling not to laugh. Probably both. Probably mostly the latter.*

...Hehh...?

[what? what what?!] Pardon me, but.. you don't even know what that is? C-come on, it's the day you're born!

Video

[greenmagick]

I'm sorry. [Terra nervously bows towards the screen.] My memory hasn't been the same since I awoken here.

I was just curious.

video;

[tenminutes]

Aha! You are against me cooking! I knew it!

[ Oh, right, that other part. ]

Yeah, the 30th. You actually have to get me something this year since I'm not dead anymore.

video;

[behindthefakesmile]

Then a simple sponge would do, right? It's not too sweet that way.

video;

[chestboard]

I-I'm not against it...! But maybe we should just... go for something fancier..?! Maybe?!

[HE WAS RIGHT.] Don't worry, I definitely will!

[chestboard]

[...wow.

well, he goes to open up his door, and he just stares at her, then down to the big box.]

Kanoooo! What did you get me, hm?

video;

[chestboard]

Yeah, for sure! I'll definitely eat something like that...! When will you have that done?

[ifbymyhands]

Well, open it!

*She holds the box out. Once he opens it, Battler will discover a note that says "Try not to have any more dumb fights with Yuri, okay?", along with some relationship advice books.

...and underneath that, a supply of the stupidest-looking novelty condoms Kano can find. Christmas wreaths, tuxedos, dinosaurs, happy faces, and one batch with his face printed on them. At this point, Kano can't stop laughing.*

[chestboard]

Ah.. no it's okay, totally okay! Um... a birthday is the day you're born, see, and every year you celebrate it! Generally with a party or presents, and friends...

But, I know some worlds or creatures don't celebrate those sorts of things, and that's just fine!

[tenminutes]

It shows how much you love me when you try to convince me that you'll eat something I wouldn't, so we can go out this once.

Come over.

In three hours at least. It doesn't take long to cook and decorate.
