Sketch 049 [video]

[dustedsunlight]

[the camera comes on and Namine smiles at it. She's got a makeshift party hat on, probably made from paper rolled up and also crayons. Because yey crayons.]

Well... today's the day. Today, 2 years ago, I woke up to a broken-down building and two moons in the sky. It seems like so long ago, now.

Happy Birthday to me, I guess. [a little laugh.] I

Happy Birthday.....

Miss Namine? Are you alright?

[dustedsunlight]

England! Thank you.

I'm fine. I was just thinking a lot about my time here. Most people don't stay as long as me.

late tag is late.^^;

[sceptered_isle]

Oh....

I'm sure you'll get to go home someday. And this place isn't all bad....

lol, it's okay ♥

[dustedsunlight]

No, it's not that... I like it here. It's my home. I don't really have my own place back in my world.

[princessofmoe]

...Happy birthday to you. [She doesn't feel like smiling lately, but she'll force herself to smile for this. Birthdays are supposed to be happy, right?]

[dustedsunlight]

Thank you. It's strange to think of having a birthday.

... Is everything alright?

[princessofmoe]

It nice too though, isn't it?

...mi-. Everything will be alright. [Will be. It's pretty obvious that she has been unhappy lately, she knows that... but she doesn't want to shove her problems onto you too, Namine. orz]

[dustedsunlight]

It is. I guess it's calming, like you know it's there and it reminds you of normality.

Do you need to talk to someone...? Really, I don't want you to be sad.

CG: HAPPY WRIGGLING DAY
CG: I GUESS.
CG: ENJOY LAMENTING THE FAULTS OF YOUR PAST.

[voice]

[dustedsunlight]

Wriggling Day? I guess that's how you say birthday in your world.

Oh! I almost forgot, I had a question for you. What's a "wizard"?

( text damn it )

[yourgoddamnit]

CG: SOMEWHAT SIMILAR.
CG: ALTHOUGH OUR SOLAR SWEEPS ARE ABOUT THE EQUIVALENT TO TWO OR THREE HUMAN YEARS.
CG: AND A WIZARD IS WHAT ERI WISHES HE COULD BE
CG: DEEP DOWN IN HIS GULLET
CG: YET HE NEVER WILL BE BECAUSE "MAGIC IS FAKEY FAKE."
CG: HIS WORDS, NOT MINE.

[NO RESPONDING IN VOICE FOREVER]

[dustedsunlight]

He keeps asking me to teach him my "wizard powers". I... don't know what to say to him.

[ America is in the kitchen and something smells good. ]

DON'T COME IN! IT'S ALMOST DONE!

( action )

[dustedsunlight]

[she laughs a little, but smiles all the same.]

Alright, I won't! But if you wait too long, I'll get so hungry from how that smells that I guess I'll have to start eating the couch.

( action )

[libertyfuckyeah]

Nooooooo not the couch!

[ He's only half serious. The fact that he's still half serious is worrying.

Oh well. OUT HE COMES WITH... it's a cake! ...Kinda! He did the best he could, okay. He won't have bread for months because of this. And the sugar used was canned coconut sugar. I know this exists because for some reason we have this with our canned food. I don't know what this will do to the cake.

Still, he made an effort. There's a single huge fucking candle stuck in the center of it. ]

Happy birthday!

[... that's so adorski I don't even think there are proper words for how adorski this is. No guarantee it'll taste good... or not poison, but hell, why not.]

A-Ameri... Dad, thank you so much. I didn't know you'd... I mean, you don't usually bake.

[brotundbier]

Ah, Happy Birthday, Naminé. I wasn't aware it was today. ((He will have a birthday present for you later, really!!))

[dustedsunlight]

Thank you, Germany! It's very kind of you.

Well, it's really my first birthday, since I never had one before.

[brotundbier]

Ah... that's understandable. While it may be your first, I'm sure you're a number of years older than just one. ((HAHA love him, he HAS no birthday))

[dustedsunlight]

Well... sort of. If I count my years in Discedo, I'd be three.

[hahaha poor germany. also, try to absorb that figure.]
