Sixteenth promise; video

[Have a wave, Vatheon.]

Hey guys. So, a couple things. One, I just realized it's been a little over a year now since I arrived here. I can't believe it. So much has happened, and I've met so many people. Lost a few, but I've gained a lot, too. And I'm really glad for it.

[A small smile, thinking back on what's passed before she continues.]

Secondly, my birthday is on Sunday, the 3rd. I guess I'll be 19. Weird, huh? I was 17 when I came here. Anyway, I was just thinking of maybe hanging out with some of my friends that day? If anyone's free.

Oh, my birthday is that day as well! We'll be the same age.

[They were the same age when they arrived, too.]

It's a little strange becoming an adult away from home, isn't it?

Video

[sorcery_fledgling]

Really??

[That's pretty neat, actually! She's never met anyone with the same birthday as her, let alone someone turning the same age on the same day.]

It kind of is. And it's weird because we'll have to do it all over again when we go back.

[zelda_hylia]

Yes! My ancestor was born on that day as well, and she's also here in the city. Three of us born in the third month on the third day... it's quite the coincidence!

[She winces a bit at having to do it all again back home. She really would rather not...]

Well, hopefully we will discover a way to keep our memories. I would hate to unlearn everything I've learned here.

[fightforastar]

That's not much warning. But of course we'll have to do something. It's your last birthday as a teenager, after all.

[Video]

[sorcery_fledgling]

Ehehe... sorry. I'm not expecting a party or anything. Just want to see my friends.

...Wow, I hadn't even thought of that.

[Video]

[fightforastar]

Well, yeah, but a person needs time for presents.

Mmhm. Next year you'll be joining the ranks of us 20-somethings.

[not_heavens_adam]

Aaah~! 19? I'll have to make an extra special cake.

Hmm...what should it be...?

Video

[sorcery_fledgling]

You don't need to! I'd just be happy if you could come and hang out!

Video

[not_heavens_adam]

Aah, but I insist! I'll come hang out too, but I want to make you something.

Sooo what do you want~?

[replicatedcourage]

I've been here for a year too! And wow, 19, lucky!

[Someday he hopes to be 19 years old too!]

What do you want for a present?

[sorcery_fledgling]

Lucky...? Yeah, I guess I am, huh?

Oh, no no. You don't need to get me anything! Especially on such short notice!

[replicatedcourage]

But I like giving presents! And you have to get presents on your birthday, it's a rule. I just don't know what you like.

[Deal with it Rinoa, you're getting something!]

[Oh hey it's obnoxious green-text girl, except on video this time.

There would be no indication of this except her eye color being the exact same as her text color, though.]

Oh my gosh, how exciting! Happy pre-birthday!

I was 15 when I came here myself, my birthday was this past December so I'm 16 now. My brother's birthday is next month, come to think of it, considering this place he will probably end up arriving here and being older than me, even though the opposite is true!

[video]

[sorcery_fledgling]

Thank you!

Yeah, it's weird how this place can pull people from different times. I've had that happen a couple times now. [So majorly weird.] How much younger is your brother than you?

[video]

[spacecase]

He is four months younger, although I suppose since we are twins we should be the same age. But neither he nor I actually know when we were born, just when we were found by our respective guardians.

[Shrug!]

Oh, we were raised apart, we did not know we were twins for a while. So believe me, I am very much used to things being weird and complicated, even before coming to Vatheon.

*Selphie just hopes that Rinoa hasn't noticed all the balloons hidden in her wardrobes. She also has had to stash cake making stuff, decorations, and presents under her bed. She's pretty bad at sneaking around, but hopes that Rinoa won't notice*

[not here]

[sorcery_fledgling]

[Nope, Rinoa is oblivious. And you think she would know better...]

[bufudine]

[Wow, Rinoa's more than three times his age. What an old fart--

There's a little warmth in Serph's voice when he speaks.]

I can spend time with you.

voice

[sorcery_fledgling]

[WHO YOU CALLING OLD, POOPFACE?!]

Yeah! Bring the whole Tribe! I haven't seen you guys in awhile.

voice

[bufudine]

[You, little miss Christmas cake!!]

Of course.

[Oh wait but birthdays means presents, right? HMMM :|a]

This means you're entering your second year as an 'adult', correct?

[He remembers that conversation he had with her about the significance of turning 18.]

[innocentgear]

Over a year... That really is a long time...

_{[A long time away from home and friends.]}

video

[sorcery_fledgling]

It flew by pretty fast. It's hard to believe it's been that long, really.

video

[innocentgear]

In a place like this I suppose it's not surprising. There's always something happening here...

Ah, but you mentioned you'll be 19 on Sunday. _{[Dizzy is only three]} I think I missed my own birthday because of my absence... _{[she laughs a little. softly.]} Anyway, I hope you'll have a wonderful day.

[beauchevalier]

It seems quite a few people have had birthdays here, myself included. Though that was back in December. Still, happy birthday to you.

[sorcery_fledgling]

Considering how long some people stay, I'm not surprised. But thank you!
