My birthday passed and I didn't even realize it.

Aren't I too young for that?

This may sound like a strange question, but if you don't mind me asking . . . what's a birthday?

[Voice]

[penny_dancer]

[momentary pause while Penelo realizes that, yes, he did just ask that]

Uhm, it's a celebration of the day you were born.

[Voice]

[flightofthe]

["Born" . . . does he know that word? Oh, wait . . . yeah, Pip explained it a little once.]

This is an annual thing, then? To mark personal passage of time?

[Voice]

[penny_dancer]

Yeah, basically.

[Strange way of putting it, though]

[caesarstrike]

How old are you?

[penny_dancer]

I'm eighteen now.

[caesarstrike]

Then yeah, I'd say that's a little young.

Happy birthday.

[spannertime]

I've done that before.

We should do something, though! Even if it's a little late...

[penny_dancer]

Oh, I don't like doing big things for my birthday. I might ask the cooks to make something special, though...

[spannertime]

Oh, I wasn't thinking you needed to do anything big... but that sounds like a good idea. Maybe someone could make a cake.

[curry_ramen]

It did?

Er...oops?

[Voice]

[penny_dancer]

Yeah, oops.

[pause]

Wasn't yours last month, Beat?

Re: [Voice]

[curry_ramen]

Yeah. 17 now, yo. Ain't no big thing.

[Voice | Locked to Beat]

[penny_dancer]

Do you want to do something to celebrate our late birthdays, then, Beat? I promise I won't get you drunk.

[gypsymothdance]

Sure thing! What kind should we make?

[voice]

[penny_dancer]

[. . .]

Um...a plain cake would be fine...?
