005. Voice/Action (Backdated to the 22nd)

[She'd been preoccupied with the draft, but not so preoccupied that once she'd gotten back, she hadn't realized what day was coming. But... it just didn't feel right, or real. And yet it sort of did too. And then she'd woken up that morning and could only acknowledge that, welp, according to Luceti's calendar, it was her birthday. There's a sharp ( Read more... )

good thing the cat is there, there's no place like home, ohi i'm seventeen now, aaaaaangst, polling the masses, goldangit it's cold, subtlety is not her strong suit, brb missing big sis, birthdays in luceti are complicated

I've made the calculations to determine when a year's time from my last birthday at home would be. However... it seems like more people use the same date from home instead.

Happy Birthday. [Everyone deserves to have it remembered by the people around them.]

[Voice] magiconcehad December 26 2011, 05:05:43 UTC

Thanks.

[Though it's clear her heart really isn't in it.]

I guess it's easier.

[Voice] no_use_running December 26 2011, 10:16:19 UTC

Mine was awhile ago, so, I feel as though I sort of understand.

[Voice] magiconcehad December 28 2011, 06:54:06 UTC

That it feels weird here?

[That it doesn't really feel like your birthday?]

I think anything is as real as you want it to be. Personally, I'm inclined to say yes.

Happy Birthday, by the way.

[Voice] magiconcehad December 26 2011, 05:09:18 UTC

Thanks...

It doesn't really feel like it though.

[Not with all the things that've been going on lately.]

[Voice] shadedsunlight December 26 2011, 05:11:58 UTC

I imagine it'd be odd having your birthday creep up on you sooner than imagined.

[A small pause.]

Hey... I, um, heard your name on the draft list. Glad you're home. Are doing all right?

[Voice] magiconcehad December 26 2011, 06:32:51 UTC

I got my arm broken in a cave-in, but I'm okay.

[There's something vaguely familiar here, but Lindsay isn't sure what. She hasn't heard Ginia's voice before.]

Um... do I know you from somewhere?

I guess that's probably a lot easier to do, then try and figure out a new day.

[Given that... she doesn't even really remember the exact day. She remembers that it was in March and the first number of the day was a 1 but... unless she had to write a date on an assignment she usually forgot what day it was back home. Maybe this whole thing was pointless.]

[Voice] wise_maiden December 27 2011, 07:02:09 UTC

... I suppose, technically, a date is still a date for a marker's sake. Even if you're only here for a short while... it's easier to go with the familiar instead of recalculating.

[Voice] magiconcehad December 28 2011, 07:29:57 UTC

Yeah... I know it's easier, but it just... doesn't feel right.

[And so that's the easiest explanation she can think of. That it's not "really" her birthday. Even though it is. Sort of.]

[Voice] wise_maiden December 28 2011, 07:43:17 UTC

Then you... do what's best for you. That's all I can really suggest.

[Sanji isn't treated to hearing the not-so subtle announcement. His journal is stashed in his suit while he gets to cooking at Seventh Heaven. After nearly a week of bed-resting, the only thing he wants to do is send himself into a cooking coma.

... Though he'll make time to greet the occasional customer in the dining area]

[It's during one of these instances, of course, that Lindsay - doodling listlessly on one of the margins with a pencil - glances up and... stops dead. She hadn't seen him at all since the cave-in, hadn't... hadn't heard anything, given how chaotic things had been afterwards. She'd tried not to think about the worst possibilities. It'd just been... easier. To ignore it, believe that everything worked out fine.

And... if Sanji was okay that meant Vivi would be too, right? Just... not here right now.

Of course, this all assumed she wasn't seeing things. It wasn't like she had a history of hallucinating or anything but she really didn't want this to be a first.]

Sanji?
