[ So Oz doesn't really know the Dreamberry has clicked on and is recording.   Essentially, the blonde is bustling about the cottage, with a bit of frosting on his nose -- because even though birthdays generally are a bad memory, he couldn't help but treat himself to a cupcake earlier.  After a moment, he stops a few feet away from the camera,

[... sixteen.

That's a big number.]

I know right ;;

[timeticksaway]

[ A pause -- ]

...Rita?

[kyudousha]

[Pintsized!Rita staring into the dreamberry seriously.]

You know my name too.

I didn't think I would be that famous.

[timeticksaway]

...What...happened. [ OH GOD ANOTHER ONE -- ]

[bigassmachete]

[Head tilt]

Eh? Is today perhaps Oz's birthday, is it?

[timeticksaway]

[ Oz is perking up because of her voice, b-but apart from that, a weak nod. ]

Yeah.

[bigassmachete]

But...you don't seem very excited about it, you don't.

[timeticksaway]

Ah...

...I wasn't supposed to live until my sixteenth birthday.

Would it be all right if I were to drop by later? We simply must celebrate! Even if we can't have a ceremony or anything particularly prestigious... we have to celebrate!

[timeticksaway]

O-of course, Ada! [ BLUSHING BECAUSE oh god sister, why you so adorable and care so much ]

[onkittypatrol]

Wonderful! And we could invite others, if you'd like?

And... I can't exactly leave Vincent unattended for too long...

[timeticksaway]

If Ada would like to!

Is he still ... ?

[charientisms]

[...It's that weird child. Uhhh. Kevin hesitates.]

It is your birthday?

[timeticksaway]

[ ....Kevin. ]

Brea- ... ah, that's right, Kevin.

[charientisms]

[Why 'Break'? It's such a bizarre name...What was his older self thinking?]

Well...In that case, happy birthday.

[timeticksaway]

Thank you.

[ The smallest of smiles. ]

[echo_of_a_voice]

[...]

It is... Master Oz's birthday?

[timeticksaway]

Little Echo!

...Yeah.

[echo_of_a_voice]

It's just Echo.

Happy birthday.
