Twenty-three now, I guess.

[She sounds far more casual than she probably should about a birthday, but then again, that's Tifa. Plus, it's a birthday in Luceti and she's not sure it exactly counts as a chronological birthday, since she doesn't feel twenty-three.]

I'm glad it's always getting warmer by the time my birthday rolls around. Better way

Happy birthday.

[packedapunch]

Thanks. I have to say it doesn't really feel like it. [Hence the journal post, to inspire the mood or something. :\]

[purpledemoneyes]

Why is that?

[I'd suggest he could make her a cake, but food poisoning isn't a good birthday present.]

[packedapunch]

I guess since it doesn't seem like a year yet, because of the different times and all. I don't know.

[...yes, Tifa wouldn't really appreciate food poisoning. But it's the thought that counts!]

[slaying]

[After Cloud's advice to try it anyway--even though Buffy anticipates a boatload of awkwardness considering she hasn't spoken to Tifa since before she left Luceti and returned.]

Happy Birthday!

[packedapunch]

[Awww, Buffy. ;_; Tifa really has no idea, so she's going to start out with politeness. Because, yes, two people in a row she's (seemingly) never met wishing her happy birthday! Awesome.]

Thankyou. Really, I was expecting people to ignore this. [lol sheepish]

[slaying]

And ignore a chance to celebrate? Nuh-uh. Morale's way too high on the priority list for that. You should definitely take the day off and relax and enjoy it, Tifa!

[And she realizes she's talking like it's the Tifa who knows her name and her job and her gossip so she just cuts herself off and sounds vaguely awkward while she tries this:] Buffy, by the way. I mean--that's me. Buffy is me and this is me introducing myself. Even though I already know your name and...[sigh.]

Can I start over, please?

You're probably right about that. I'm giving people a chance to celebrate something, at least. So--

[She kind of... pauses after Buffy says her name. Because. What.]

Twenty-three, huh? [...Somehow he was expecting older. Oh well]

2/2

[god_is_a_dude]

Oi, happy birthday.

[packedapunch]

[She doesn't sound that old.

...right?]

Right, twenty-three. But-- thanks.

[god_is_a_dude]

Yeah. No problem. [...Hm. Maybe he should like... make a cake or something. ...Nah too flustering]

Happy Birthday, Tifa.

Would you like a present?

[Voice]

[packedapunch]

Thanks, but no thanks.

[Curse this place for having shitty gift options.]

We should do something.

[packedapunch]

[Unless you want to weave a basket or something, Cloud.]

Someone suggested getting terribly drunk. Looks like it's winning so far. [A pause.] Not that anyone's thought of something else.

[herobydefault]

[Cloud would like to see Tifa terribly drunk, actually. It's usually fairly interesting. ...except for when she pings on depressing stuff, and then it's just upsetting and sad.]

Give me a second, I'll think of something.

[packedapunch]

[...Tifa would also like to see Cloud terribly drunk. Just because.]

Well, if you say so.
