So I've had a thought, and it might seem silly, but I figure it's worth a shot!

[Usually, when she gets that kind of look in her eye, it's not the kind of thought that's going to leave her- or anyone else- alone for a good long while.]

I know a lot of us are here alone, and that's bad enough- but it's even worse on a birthday! So I figure while the calendar here might not match the ones from your homes, and it might take some finagling to figure it out...

Maybe we could set up some kind of committee or something- so people don't have to spend their birthdays alone!

[Cupid what.]

Of course, I'd have to make sure people would be willing to give their birthdays up first, but I mean...

[A bright, hopeful grin.]

Who doesn't love free cake, right?

If we're getting free cake, why should we wait for someone's birthday?

As a famous Queen once said, let them eat cake.

[Yes, he's aware of the irony in that statement. And that it may well be apocryphal.]

Because birthday cakes are inherently different from other cake.

[An amused chuckle.]

Besides, it's not like I'm gonna stop anyone from having cake otherwise!

[staystraught]

But if I have to get it myself, it's not free.

Unbirthday cake is better than no cake, and free unbirthday cake is, I would say, the best of all.

That's a great idea! Oh boy, nothin' beats celebratin' birthdays!

[reassigned]

Well, I could think of a couple of things, but I'm a little biased.

Still, birthdays are great, especially when you have people to spend them with!

[thekingsshield]

A-huh! Is yer birthday anytime soon?

[Yuna loves free cake.]

[Who doesn't?]

Well, good to know someone's enthusiastic.

[drank_the_milk]

Hey, who can pass up free cake?

My birthday was back in January, man. But I had a pretty cool cake; trick was not eating the whole damn thing in a day.

[But the grin widened.]

Got a birthday comin' up on the 27th, though. I got her cake and present planned, but I know she watches the Networks a lot, heheh, so I ain't gonna give it away!

[reassigned]

Awww, that's a shame... I guess it's a bit late for a belated present too...

[Isn't gonna stop her from getting him one though.]

Oh really? Might I happen to know this someone?

[topgun_textiles]

Don't worry about it.

[Fortunately for Cupid, Kanji would never catch on. But she asked something new and he turned pink and for a moment looked sheepish.]

W-well, yeah...

[heretic_hamlet]

The twelfth of January. I did not give it much thought for the... business over the winter.

What of yours? For all the celebration you've brought I would not think you one to forget your own due.

[reassigned]

I guess that would be something to distract from it, wouldn't it?

Mine isn't for a while still, so I'm not too worried about it, honestly!

[heretic_hamlet]

I would hear it nonetheless. But for your divinity it must have been a holiday to behold in your homeland.

[video]

[redpeacoat]

That's nice of you to do.

[Good people deserve a good birthday.

Of course, Shinjiro doesn't mention his own. It's not important if his own isn't brought to light.]

Well, I figure with as... down as things have gotten lately, a little pickup for the community at large might do some good.

Re: [video]

[redpeacoat]

[The community at large? Well, birthdays can be restrictive in some ways...]

Why don't you hold one of those potluck things?

[allbymyself]

I hate cake.

[...Okay, that's just the pettiest thing to point out. But it sounds super stupid anyway.]

Are you really counting on anyone wanting to stay here long enough to see their birthday pass? [Because he's sincerely convinced that the reason no one leaves or tries to is because they like it here. Gross.] And what of those people that don't want their birthdays celebrated? This committee and your idea is the cherry on top of a nuisance cake.

[yeah he's always in this bad of a mood. especially lately, since he's just getting enough contact from his team not to pass out or feel really sick. irritability, on the other hand...]

[Hooo boy. One in every place, it seems like. Cupid takes a moment to fight back her initial irritation.

...but only for a moment as he continues, and a slight twitch starts up in the corner of her eyebrow.]

Well, that's a shame for you that you hate cake. Maybe someone will make you brownies instead. That said though...

[A breath, and then-]

Whether we're here long enough to celebrate them or not isn't the issue. Honestly, I'd be glad not to see anyone have to celebrate a birthday away from their homes and families... but it's already happened, hasn't it? So why not make it a little less lonely for people? One less thing to remind them that they're not where they should be?

Honestly, you should be ashamed of yourself for sounding like you want everyone to spend their time here miserable!

[blazeoflife]

OOoooooh, buuuuuurn~!

[Don't mind Junpei popping up, with a grin on his face. He wanted to tear the little grumpy snot a new one but seems like Cupid got him back-- and so politely! Junpei was impressed.]

People seem to take to this city like Marill to water. [...Marill. Ugh, that girl's friend had one, right? She'd mentioned it before. No, he won't let himself think about that bumbling idiot of a trainer.] Everyone seems pretty comfortable, happy -- like they'd rather be here than anywhere else.

[Someone's an angry little upstart. He doesn't like it here -- he doesn't like that the old man's here -- he wants to go home. And holding hands with someone can't be the only way to do it.]

Honestly, it's a little disappointing. There's obviously a lot of talent [he'll be grudging to admit that, having going out for exploration] and it's being wasted on hugs and kisses. The only thing I'm ashamed of is how content everyone is, though I shouldn't be surprised -- you're all a bunch of spineless cowards.
