Maybe this isn't the kind of thing anyone should be thinking about...

Does it make sense to celebrate a birthday after everything that's happened?

Is it your birthday you're wanting to celebrate?

Is this your birthday, or someone else's?

[galactically]

well anon, you could always gather enough materials from missions to make one from scratch. ;)

So that's why...

[Why for a lot of things. Why he didn't remember a year, why he fell asleep, why he had to thank Namine, why some people seemed not to remember him, and why the Organization sure seemed to have less than 13 people. It was...really weird to think about, and a bit scary- that he had a whole other time the Organization messed with him and he didn't remember it. But at the same time, it made sense. ]

And....you were in that place too?

[limitstorm]

No, it's a friend of mine's. I don't celebrate my birthday.

Someone else's.

Yeah. Somehow, the Realm of Darkness lead me there, and we ended up at the same place, at the same time. Except... I was in the basement, making my way up. From what Naminé told me, you started on the first floor and went up.

We never actually met up.

[limitstorm]

Guess so, if we have anything to spare.

NOT OKAY

[argentite]

Why's that?

[luxuresombre]

I only see nothing inherently special about birthdays. Or at least, not to the degree that some others do. Unless one makes a large event out of it, the day will pass just like any other.

there was a party and i missed it?

[astraia]

Have you ever thrown them a party before?

SHE CAN FIND OUT??? he won't keep it a secret if she asks

[limitstorm]

They're pretty...

Abrasive.

[limitstorm]

Doesn't that make it more important? So you can make that one day different.

[limitstorm]

Yeah, and everyone got kidnapped, injured, or worse during it.
You weren't missing much.

[limitstorm]

No.

[anklets]

[ no stranger to the act of making exceptions for friends where she would not make them for herself ]

For that reason, I think you have no cause to worry about disrespect.

[luxuresombre]

If you wish to be sentimental. As I said, it's anyone's own choice.

[limitstorm]

As long as it's not taking the lives that're gone in vain, I don't mind being sentimental.

[limitstorm]

Because it's a friend of mine's birthday?

[anklets]

Because it isn't yourself that you're celebrating.

[limitstorm]

Makes sense.

Thanks.

[luxuresombre]

What a sentimental sentence in and of itself.

How do people usually celebrate their birthdays, in any case?

[She knows the basics, but she wonders if it differs much from person to person.]

[limitstorm]

Cake, presents, family and friends. Some people go out to celebrate. Depends on how high-maintenance you are.
