002 | Little Match Girl | Video

[ A pouty girl appears once the video feed flips on. She's curled up on her bed, laying on a huge bearmon plush that she got from a certain green friend of hers. ]

Not that this matters much, considering everything that's been going on, but it was my birthday yesterday. I guess that means I'm sixteen now.

Back home I'm famous, so I would have gotten a few bags full of mail and presents from fans. I guess I just... miss that.

Whatever, I know it's stupid, okay? You don't have to tell me that. I know everyone has way more important things to deal with than my birthday.


[Private to Hibiki Ganaha]
Thanks for the meal yesterday. That was really nice of you.

A common tale. Cursed real life! Why must you torture us so?

[changelingdude]

Nah! I totally had to! It's your birthday! And an important one too!

We may be new friends, but I couldn't let the day go by without a little something to show I care.

I woulda had it done sooner but I had to go but a big enough sheet of paper.

I DON'T KNOW ;;

[dekochan]

No, it's fine. I'll have to find some way to hang this up...

T-Thanks again.

*pet pet*

[changelingdude]

Heh, anytime I can make you smile.

[big smile of his own and starts for the door]

By this time next year I bet if we're still all here we'll be comfy enough we can throw you a big party.

[dekochan]

By that time I'll be seventeen! That's way too old for a party...

blankets :3

[changelingdude]

What? No way! You're never too old for a party!

yaaay

[dekochan]

Yes you can be! I have to act like an adult here. There's no room for being a kid.

\o/

[changelingdude]

Uh...please. Have you MET some of the adults around here?

Besides most of us are kids around here. Age ain't nothing but a number babe.

[dekochan]

Just because they don't act like adults doesn't mean that I shouldn't try to be adult-like! If anything I have to make up for all of the childishness that goes on here.

[changelingdude]

Nah! Think about it. We're in a world full of cool, cute or weird monsters. We're supposed to be here to save it. How often have you ever seen a show like that starring grown ups?

[dekochan]

Thinking like that is a good way to end up dead. We aren't cartoon characters, Beast Boy.

[changelingdude]

Go ahead and think about that for a moment birthday girl.

[dekochan]

I'm not wrong about being careful with our lives.

[changelingdude]

But it is wrong to deny yourself pleasure and fun just because you wanna act grown up when it's not always needed.

[dekochan]

H-Hmph! I'll have fun when everyone's safe again...

[changelingdude]

But why is it your responsibility to be uh...the responsible one all the time?

[dekochan]

Have you ever heard the phrase "If you want something right, do it yourself?"

[changelingdude]

How about, all fun and no play makes Iori a dull girl?

[dekochan]

Okay, fine. I'll "play" and you can be more serious once in awhile.

[changelingdude]

Oh alright, if I have to. [Wink]
