[Angel is pissed as all hell. First of all, Sam. SAM. He's taking away her Dean and that is a cardinal sin in her book. For another, everyone sees her as a kid, clearly that must be amended.

Sitting in the branches of a tree, Angel decided it was time. She decided she was seven last year, so it should be bout time for her to turn eight. It wasn't the most conventional way, but she didn't exactly know her birthday.]

I don't want to hear no one else saying I'm too young to do things anymore. I can take care of myself and don't need any nameless babysitters worrying about me. Today, I decided I'm eight, so that should be good enough for anyone to leave me alone and let me do what I want.

[She was a brat at times, but she felt it was well deserved this time.]

[Nothing screams maturity more than pouting for respect. Touma eyes her like a disapproving parent.]

You can't just assign herself an age and expect people to magically start treating you like an adult. It makes you look childish.

[flocks_angel]

I've always assigned myself an age, don't tell me what I can or can't do.

[fantasykiller]

I didn't say you couldn't assign yourself an age. My point was that declaring yourself as an eight-year is not going to stop people from trying to babysit you. Eight-year olds are not exactly known for their independence.

They don't really care though. All people do is use you and when someone new comes along, they focus more on them.

[Okay, maybe it was her fault since she wasn't spending as much time at home but she was used to having Dean and Mary to herself. Not having to share them.]

[His annoyance quickly evaporated as he listened to her cynical response. Those were the words of someone who has been recently hurt. Given the direction this conversation could quickly spiral to, he decided to set the video to private.]

Am I right to assume you're talking about someone that was previously close to you?

[At the word 'previously' her lower lip starts to wibble. She doesn't want to think that Dean doesn't want her anymore, but...he's been spending his time with Sam too. As selfish as that felt though, she couldn't deal with not having family again.]

He doesn't spend as much time with me anymore...

[That statement was all it took for him to understand the true purpose of her post. It was an attempt to reach out towards the person that had drifted away from her. She made it in hopes of enticing a reactive from him.]

Have you told him about how you feel? He might not have realized that he's been drifting away from you.

[That... is kind adorable.]

So now that your eight and can do whatever you want, what's the first order of business?

Is it a birthday party? I think it should be. That's the first thing you do when you turn eight.

[flocks_angel]

Birthday party? ...it really wouldn't be the same here.

[She had family, kind of, but...it wouldn't be the same without her flock. She only really wanted one if Dean threw it for her.]

[onecream_fivesugar]

...Well no... I guess it wouldn't be, but it still might be kind of fun anyways. Don't you think?

[flocks_angel]

I don't know...Mary owns a bakery, and her food's good, but it's still not as good as Iggys.

video

[onecream_fivesugar]

Awww... That's not very nice. What if Mary heard you say that, you might hurt her feelings.

video

[flocks_angel]

I wouldn't. She's distracted with her new kid.

video

[onecream_fivesugar]

N-new kid? She had a baby!? It didn't look like she was going to have one the last time I saw her! WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN!?

[caffinatekillua]

You tell 'em!

Most adults are dumber than bricks anyway.

[flocks_angel]

[Well, that perks her right up. It had been a while since she saw someone that wasn't an adult or close to.]

Think they know it all too.

[caffinatekillua]

They can't help it, just cause they're old and decaying they think they've experienced more. I think it just means they're closer to dead.

[flocks_angel]

[Angel smiles brightly, clearly pleased with him.] ...You're pretty smart. What's your name? I don't think I've seen you around here.

[caffinatekillua]

I'm a genius. [She'll get no disagreement there]

I'm Killua. I got here a little while ago.

[flocks_angel]

Angel. I've been here...a really long time.

[frostheartedrose]

Alright, that's fair. Have you gotten a job yet?

[Yup, she's being serious. But then again, she grew up in the dark ages...]

Video

[flocks_angel]

I don't need a job.

Re: Video

[frostheartedrose]

Do you need food or clothing? A roof over your head? Brushes for hair and teeth?

Video

[flocks_angel]

I don't need to sleep inside and if I want food or things from the store, there are other ways to get it. I'm not stupid, I've lived without grownups before.

Re: Video

[frostheartedrose]

[A slight smile.]

Theft, begging, or gathering for yourself? I don't recommend the first, but the other two are good choices.
