That Christmas Feeling, Log 9/??? [Video]

[libraritology]

Does anyone know if there's some sort of protocol about celebrating birthdays in a place where you don't actually get older?

[By the looks of things, she's wearing something a bit fancier than the usual in her second-favourite place in Wonderland: the music room.

[Glossing smoothly over that age thing--]

So it's your birthday, huh.

[libraritology]

Ah-

[Oh God not her again.]

...Yes. Yes, it is.

[itsahotone]

Huh. Congrats or whatever.

[...A normal person might say happy birthday here, Santana, god.]

[libraritology]

Thank you? I...think.

[Feelin' the love, man. Feelin' the love.]

[coolstriderbro]

Far as I know. At least, my brother and his friends did when their birthdays rolled round earlier this month. Guess it's a personal preference thing.

[libraritology]

I suppose it's nice to maintain some semblance of normality in celebrating them.

[With all the craziness, at least the mansion still decks its halls.]

I'm sorry, though, I- I don't believe we've met before.

[coolstriderbro]

Pretty much. Plus, not like I'm gonna get to see any more of Dave's if we ever make it out so I get to make the best of spoiling him now.

[Which is not at all a morbid thing to say *cough*]

Don't believe we have, at that. Strider.

[libraritology]

[She doesn't ask. Asking is prying. Prying is too invasive for someone she just met for the first time. Maybe the second time around she'll push for more information.

Pleasantries, it is.]

Evelyn Carnahan, but Evelyn is just fine. What year are you from, Mister Strider?

[text forever]

[hamburellakind]

[Wait, what, rewind.]

so it's for sure?
we don't age?
at all?
ugh that sucks!

[texxxxxxxt]

[libraritology]

I'm quite certain that that's the case.
I don't think it will stop anyone from celebrating, though.
Are you concerned about not aging another year?

...hot? :|a

[hamburellakind]

well.
yeah.
i'm 13 so it kind of sucks to imagine being this age forever.
not that we know for sure this is a forever kind of place but.
i dunno, it's kind of creepy actually!

Oh baby.

[libraritology]

Thirteen?

[She has to type out all her numbers, okay? It's just a thing.]

I can understand your frustration, then.
I don't believe I've seen your letter-colour before, though.
Have we met?

[pottershotter]

[His eyebrows go up - he hadn't realized no one would be getting ay older here.]

...I don't know - I'd still count it. This place is completely mad, so it's good to have something to celebrate once in a while.

Why though? I don't suppose there's a birthday girl around here, is there?

[libraritology]

[She laughs.]

Yes, there is. Her name is Evelyn and she was wondering whether or not she ought to fetch a particularly large cake from the kitchen and share it with people she knows.

[pottershotter]

That would be a fine idea, as long as she really does plan on sharing it with her dear, sweet friends here in Wonderland.

[And then he waggles his eyebrows a little because yes oh god he wants cake you should give him some.]

[libraritology]

Whatever celebration there is is going to be rather informal; would you like to meet me in the dining hall, then?

[It's fancier there, at the very least.]

I would be loathe not to share a celebratory dessert with my dear, sweet friends.

[thisisherson]

[He claps for her a bit!]

That dress is stunning. It's a significant upgrade from what I've seen you wear.

[Hm...]

...I know exactly what I'm going to give you for your birthday. And you'll thank me when I'm done.

[Have they even met?! Probably not formally, but this needs to be done. It needs to be done. And he'll sadface if she doesn't let him.]

[libraritology]

It's the holidays, [she replies imperiously.] And I can wear things other than work-clothes, thank you.

[Despite the tone, there's something very good-humoured about her smile.]

...you're going to give me a gift?

[Oh my goodness that's so sweet of him.]

I- Well, I don't even know your name.

[thisisherson]

I don't know yours either, so we're even. I'm Kurt Hummel. And for your birthday, I'm going to give you the greatest makeover you've ever had.

[He's completely serious. He wants to give a total stranger a makeover based on what he's seen on the network.]

You're beautiful, and that dress is amazing, but something really needs to be done about your hair.

[libraritology]

Evelyn Carnahan, [she offers in hasty reply, a little taken aback by his zealousness.] U-Um...that...sounds very lovely and all, Kurt, but-

[But-]

-what on earth is a makeover?

[Because if it involves getting overly dolled up and she has to cut her hair (he's particularly excited about that part, isn't he?) then this might not be such a good idea after all.]
