[The sound of rain can be heard on the PCD when it clicks on, but it's a little muffled. A hand comes away from the PCD after apparently setting it down, and it's inside, by a bay window (one of the few not-broken windows in the house. Shuichi sits in the broad window sill, not looking his usual smiley self. In fact, he looks...like hell. Like he

It's your birthday??

[elegantthorns]

That's right. I'm sixteen today. [...Kind of. But that's besides the point.]

Happy Birthday, Shuichi!!! Oh! You know what? You know what? I'm going to sing for you!

[And now she totally is.]

Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday dear Shuichiiiii!

[Shuichi listens quietly, watching the animated little girl sing to him. He smiles then softly.]

Thank you, Bubbles. That was lovely.

*He's looking damp, like he hasn't been spending all of his time indoors, and a little bit frustrated.*

Could be worse. You could be spending it recovering from a run-in with the Animus.

[elegantthorns]

I'm grateful that isn't the case. How are you faring? [He sees your damp clothes there, Jr.]

Its your birthday? Dude, we have to do something! I wish you would have told me, I didn't get you anything...

[Maybe some runes would suffice? And he'd totally risk the rain to go and see him.]

[elegantthorns]

I suppose I hadn't thought about it. I'd say it's nothing to worry about, but I've been told otherwise several times. [A small smile.]

[magicxmarker]

Well. I can give you some runes for your birthday, how about that? Your house doing alright? I mean, I might be able to seal it from the rain for a little bit...

[elegantthorns]

Aa, it's nothing to worry over. Thank you though.

[Was there anyone here who agreed birthdays weren't that big a deal?]

[Video]

[elegantthorns]

Ten'ou-san. [Shuichi smiles just a little.] That's true--I apologize that you had to hear my complaining.

The PCD seems to have quite a mind of it's own.

[Hold the phone. Birthdays should be enjoyed, not spent looking like you were thinking about crying.]

Are you alone?

[elegantthorns]

Eh? Yes. [He's not thinking about crying! Really. He's just very, very tired.]

[verlorenscasket]

[If you say so. Frau is still suspicious.]

On your birthday.
[That's not okay.]

[elegantthorns]

Yes? [Blink. Blink.]
