Do alarms like that normally happen here? It was quite a wake-up call! I'm glad I wasn't drafted, but...

[ she's pretty concerned about people who are. Platina glances worriedly off to the side, then turns back to the feed. ]

I hope they'll be all right. In the meantime... does anyone know how to make a cake?

[ pointing the camera at her disastrous-looking attempt. yyyyes, wrong canon, but the girl is not a cook! it's her birthday and she wants cake damnit o9" also action is cool for anyone living in pokehouse too. ]

[ her look of determination becomes a little melancholy. she knew without a doubt that she wanted her friends, but... ]

It might be rather selfish.

[breezing]

I think you're allowed to be selfish on your birthday!

[leadinglady]

... Maybe you're right.

Then, I wish I could see my friends and family soon. Someday.

[breezing]

[ Ooooooh! She almost warns Platina about saying things aloud, but - well, it's her birthday. No use ruining it! ]

Blow out the candles, then! That'll seal it!

[leadinglady]

[ nodding, and then blowing hard!!... trying her best to hold her breath for one of the last stubborn candles on the cupcake before it finally dies. WHEW. ]

[breezing]

[ She's rewarded with applause from Ikki. GOOD JOB, Platina!! ]

And noooooow - you get to pick! Present or eating the cupcakes first??

[acuity]

[ SOPHIE'S CHOICE... or maybe not. ]

I choose the present! I'm curious to see what's inside.

[breezing]

[ EXCELLENT CHOICE. Ikki would have picked the same. And she will hand over the construction-paper-wrapped present.

Platina will find this inside! ]

[acuity]

[ opening the box very properly, barely tearing the wrapping paper... and then sparkling over what's inside. ]

My! It's very pretty, Miss Ikki.

[breezing]

I found it the other day!! [ She's so glad Platina likes it, too! Everyone deserves something nice on their birthday. ] Do you like rocks, too?

[acuity]

In a way! I'm not a specialist, but I've had to collect some very special minerals to make a brooch, before. And this looks like it could be a nice pin.

[breezing]

Very special minerals? What were those?

[acuity]

Material that can only be found at the top of a specific mountain. Would you like to see it?

[breezing]

I'd love to see it!!!

[ fishing out her shiny awesome emblem 8|b ]

[breezing]

That's so pretty! You made it???
