Lee Jenrya! How could you? You're her brother, for Yggdrasil's sake!

...? Sorry for butting in, but... is something wrong?

[lixiaochun]

Shuichon's just a little upset that her tenth birthday came and went, and none of her friends from her world seemed to notice.

[saint_sami]

Awww...! That's not good at all!

...give me a minute or two and I'll have something for her, okay!

[lixiaochun]

All right. That's a lovely gesture; thank you, Sasami.

[summersunflower]

What happened? Is Shiuchon okay?

[lixiaochun]

It was her birthday today. We didn't expect everyone here to know when it was, but you'd think at least her friends from her world - especially her older brother - would have acknowledged it in some way...!

She's pretty hurt.

[summersunflower]

Oh, I see. Just a second.

Happy birthday, Shiuchon! I'm sure Jenrya and the others didn't mean to forget; things have just been hectic lately.

[lixiaochun]

Thanks, Olette-san.

Yeah, you're probably right.

[tamerofmiracles]

...Lopmon, what's wrong with Shuichon? What did Jen do?

(OOC: Strikes visible to Lopmon.)

[lixiaochun]

Oh, nothing much. Just one of the most important dates of the year went by without a single mention from her friends and family, is all.

[tamerofmiracles]

...! I'm so dead!

Don't move, Lopmon! I don't care if it takes me the entire night and I don't get back until dawn; I'll get Shuichon something super fantastic!

(sounds of shoes hitting the floor rather loudly and doors slamming every 3-5 seconds)

[lixiaochun]

Oh, don't worry Takato. No matter how much trouble you think you're in, Jenrya is in it twice as much, at least as far as I'm concerned.

[angel_of_lyoko]

Is she okay?

[lixiaochun]

Shuichon's calmed down some, now. Though don't be surprised if she's giving Jenrya and possibly Takato the silent treatment tomorrow.

[angel_of_lyoko]

Alright...

[lixiaochun]

[voicepost, Shuichon in background]
...can't believe they forgot...nothing special...just my birthday...

[OOC - Ah. Um. To be honest, I've not really had the time or chance to poke around up until just the past hour or so, as I didn't get home until like a quarter of midnight from work. Can't speak for everyone else, but it ... doesn't really strike me in Jen's character to forget something like this, but my own engagements today have kind of kept me from doing anything about it before this point.]

[lixiaochun]

OOC: [I know, which is pretty much the main reason that Shuichon's upset and Lopmon's ticked and in protective mode - they know it's not in character for Jen. And I figured it was a logical conclusion for a girl of Shuichon's age, especially the youngest in a family of four siblings, to jump to. Now, I'm not going to tell you how to handle Jen's response to this. I'm just letting you know my take on it.]

[leejianliang]

[OOC - Oh, sure, I understand that. The reaction's exactly what I WOULD expect, but it's a result of something that was completely out of my hands for the majority of the day. It's saying that Jen did (or didn't, as the case may be) make an active choice that I never actually had the chance to make one way or another. I don't know really how to have him respond because of that, and the nature of it's not something that I can really think of how to rectify on my end without any sort of warning, nor could I backdate, or whichever.]

OOC: Hm, not sure if I should interject here but a suggestion. Surprise birthday party?

Or is he that late? Or too OOC for him to do?
