Day 160 - [Video]

[coolerthansora]

[Roxas appears on the screen, looking unsure of himself for a moment before taking a breath.]

Um... I wanted to apologize to a couple people for last week. I said some stupid things and- it was probably really frustrating.

I've been thinking about having some things of my own, and... I think the last day of summer would be good for a birthday. It still seems weird to just pick, but- I guess I've gotta turn 16 sometime.

[He pauses, looking like he has something else he wants to say, but his cheeks pink a bit and he just turns off the feed.]

Just be prepared when I give it to you!

In the meantime, do you need any help with setting up the party?

[Voice]

[coolerthansora]

[Prepared? Now he's curious, but... he'll find out eventually.]

Oh, well... I think- some people wanted to throw it for me.

[Voice]

[shirleyhopeful]

It sounds like it will be a surprise...

But I guess it won't be if you already know! So that means that all I have to do is prepare!

In the meantime, have you thought of a wish?

[Voice]

[coolerthansora]

It might be anyway. [There seems to be a lot he doesn't know about birthdays. Including...]

A wish?

[Voice]

[shirleyhopeful]

[....]

Roxas, how much do you know about birthday?

[Voice]

[coolerthansora]

Well, you- you get all your friends together and there's a cake with candles on it, and, um...

There's a song, right?

[...is he forgetting something terribly important here?]

[Voice]

[shirleyhopeful]

[...Okay, Shirley can't help but laugh a little bit]

Yes but after the song, you're suppose to think of a wish! Once you do, you blow out the candles and hope that it will come true!

[Voice]

[coolerthansora]

Oh...

And it can be anything?

[Voice]

[shirleyhopeful]

I don't see why not.

Whatever you wish for, it might come true!

[Voice]

[coolerthansora]

...I'll be sure to think of something really good.

[He has a few ideas already.]

[Voice]

[shirleyhopeful]

You better because you only get one wish a year! We don't want to see you growing out a second head.

[She was slightly teasing but she did want to make sure he if got the joke]

[Voice]

[coolerthansora]

W-why would I wish for a second head?

[...nope, doesn't look like it.]

[Voice]

[shirleyhopeful]

[Pfffff]

Roxas, I was joking. I don't think you were going to wish for a second head at all.

I was trying to say that you should think carefully about what you want.

[Voice]

[coolerthansora]

O-oh.

Right.

[Voice]

[shirleyhopeful]

Right.

...[Well, this was awkward]

So...are you ready for the masquerade?

[Voice]

[coolerthansora]

Oh, uh, I guess so.

Are you going?

[Voice]

[shirleyhopeful]

Yes but I'm not sure just yet.

I never been to a party like that before so... [and her being a bit socially awkward]

[Voice]

[coolerthansora]

Me neither.

If I can handle it, so can you.

[Voice]

[shirleyhopeful]

[And she let out another laugh]

I suppose so! It seems like I can't avoid it either...

[Voice]

[coolerthansora]

Anyway if it turns out you don't like it, it's not like you have to stick around.

[Voice]

[shirleyhopeful]

But it would be rude if I left.

Especially when so many people put so much work on it...

[Voice]

[coolerthansora]

I don't see how that's rude...
