Video || Happy Birthday!

[replicatedcourage]

((ooc: backdated to the 20th, after this))

[The young Hylian appears on the screen looking much happier than he usually does] 

Hey everyone! I just wanted to say it's my birthday! Kind of. I mean, Ion and me decided because I got a new name today! Call me Sola from now on, okay? It was wrong of me to try and take the real Link's place and I know that now, so I'm gonna be Sola. Hope that's not too confusing!

[Filtered from Ion, everyone can see this next part but him]
Ion says you're supposed to throw parties for birthdays, but he's never had one. Does anyone want to help me plan one for him? I think it'd be fun!

In my world, an important ritual in one's life is putting aside their wiggler name, which we bear when we're young, and accepting a title upon entering adulthood. You've chosen your adult title, Sola.

[And can he mention that he's delighted you're talking to Zelda? He won't, because that would be rude, but it's totally true.]

[replicatedcourage]

I dunno if I feel like an adult, but I do kind of feel like I've grown.

[He gets that curious look again]

So you weren't born Signless? You got to choose, like me?

video

[withoutasign]

Well, good. Growth is always important.

[Smile]

No, I wasn't hatched as the Signless. I had a wiggler name just like everyone else.

[replicatedcourage]

Hatched? Wriggler? Are you a bug?! Is that why Psiionic likes bees so much?

video

[withoutasign]

I suppose, compared to humans, we're more insectoid, but no, I'm not a bug. As for why Psii likes bees... why don't you ask him yourself? I'm sure he'd like to talk about them with you.

He messaged me too so hopefully we can make a plan to talk. I have a bottle for larvae or honey now!

[He picks the empty bottle off his nightstand and displays it proudly for Signless to see.]

[withoutasign]

Excellent! Sounds like the two of you have gotten things sorted out.

[replicatedcourage]

[Sola nods in affirmation.]

By the way, um... have you talked to your friend yet? It's okay if you haven't! It's just that I have a bottle to put in my hat now, so...

video

[withoutasign]

I'm working on it. But don't worry, I haven't forgotten.

video

[replicatedcourage]

Okay! I just thought since Ion said you get presents on your birthday that it would be nice if my second ever birthday present was from you.

[Odd logic, but kind of sweet?]

video

[withoutasign]

[That is adorably sweet logic.]

Well, I don't have your sylladex ready yet, but if you'd like to meet, I'd be delighted to give you something for your birthday.

video

[replicatedcourage]

What, really? okay! I'm not doing anything right now if you're not busy!

[withoutasign]

[Signless starts to answer, but then there's the sound of shattering glass and the swish of an arrow cutting through the air. He glances up, surprised, then grins.]

Actually, it looks like your sylladex just arrived. Would you like to meet me in the park? I can show you how it works and you can put your collection in it.

video; You wanna set it up? ilu♥

[replicatedcourage]

Yeah! I'll meet you there right now!

[and he barely remembers to turn off the SFC before he starts gathering everything up to go meet Signless, very excited!]

video; I'll put it up tomorrow, I'm going to bed now! <3

[withoutasign]

[That is the cutest thing ever. Signless gathers the new sylladex, yells "Thank you, Excelsior!" out the window (even though he's certain Darkleer is long gone), and head to the park.]
