HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY, SATONAKA CHIE

[That is what the banner hanging in the mess hall says on this fine Saturday evening.

There are two cakes on the center table. Both of them look like this. One of them is meatloaf with mashed potato "frosting", as the link states, and the other one is an actual cake, fluffy and sweet. Good luck figuring out

Happy birthday--at least it's edible?

[isthisourchance]

Thank you! Yeah, that's true. And not half-bad, really! [She's already taste-tested both slices on her plate, to general approval.]

[justwannahave]

With food standards on the decline, there's no point critiquing how food looks anymore so long as it's edible.

[isthisourchance]

[chuckle] I've never been one to complain about presentation anyway. As long as the food's good!

[justwannahave]

It's your eighteenth birthday too--I hope you made a good wish.

[isthisourchance]

Yep! I almost didn't remember. But here's hoping it comes true.

[justwannahave]

Good luck for that.

[isthisourchance]

Thanks! I'm not holding my breath for it, but a girl can hope, right?

[justwannahave]

Of course--and work towards their wishes because hope is what keeps people going.

[isthisourchance]

Exactly! Not that this one wish is something I can really affect... but I've got plenty of other wishes I can work on in the meantime!

[justwannahave]

Looks like you have most things worked out then.

[isthisourchance]

Haha, it doesn't feel like it sometimes. But I'm giving it my best.

[justwannahave]

That's the only thing we can do sometimes, right?
