Forty-Seventh Spool of Thread - [Voice]

[It's no secret that Shiki's been a little less present than usual. Sure she's been keeping an eye on the village and checking in with her friends, but overall as soon as her last Christmas order was finished, she had taken to spending less time at the shop and more time at home. Less time talking and more time listening.

Is this a sign that she's maturing? No, not really. She's been regrouping since that last draft, and she's been plotting a little.]

Okay, so, I guess it's my turn to ask a birthday-related question. What do you do when you run out of ideas how you want to celebrate? Do you just acknowledge the day and carry on, or do you keep trying up until the last twenty-four hours? I mean I know I'm going to age no matter what, but...well, a friend asked me what I wanted to do for it. And I still don't know. It's a little under a month away so I have time but...okay, maybe it's a silly thing to think about.

And in the realm of something less self-centered, hi everybody. Did everybody have a nice Christmas? Thanks for the presents, by the way. I saw a few of you at the New Years Eve party, but for everybody else...yeah. Talk to me, I guess. I think the cold's starting to drive me crazy.

PS? Yes, I'm starting to take orders for the spring already.

[Housemates and close friends, of course, are allowed to find her in the living room of House 10. When she gets bored inside, she'll have moved to the front porch of the house to sit and sketch with the new colored pencils Ginia got her.]

Whoa whoa, it's yo' b-day soon?

Second of February! It's not exactly a well-known fact...why?

Sweet! We gotta do somethin' like a party!

[Neku is returning back to the house when he finds her sitting out on the porch. He's dressed warmly and has his hands in his pockets since it's a little extra cold today, which is why he's surprised to see her sitting out here.

He slowly trudges up to the porch to see what she's up to.]

[She's sketching. Sort of. It looks vaguely like a Mr. Mew suit. However the sudden appearance of Neku causes a shadow to appear over her sketchpad so she looks up.]

Hey. Where you been?

I think the accepted practice is hinting about it to your friends and then letting them do the job of being creative for your birthday.

You mean letting them basically plan a surprise party. Why do I have a feeling that would somehow end disastrously?

Your birthday is the one day of the year that should be special just for you. You should do what you like for it.

Do you enjoy any sorts of hobbies, or games? Is there a special food you'd like to eat?

[She kind of just laughs. Can sewing even be considered a hobby anymore now that it's her job?]

I sew and design...a lot. But I think I make it a hobby to learn new games and new traditions. I guess you're right though, it is the one day of the year. I guess it just seems kind of weird that this is the third birthday I'll have here.

[ He knows your voice. He knows it...give him a few moments. ]

Silly? Hardly! Celebrating your birthday is the most important day of the year! More important than Christmas I think.

[Hello Helios! Nice to see you in all your adult-glory.]

More important than Christmas? You really think it's that big of a deal? Why?

Hmm. A birthday. Let's just double check -- yours isn't cursed or anything, is it? 'Cause that's a big deal. If it's cursed, you might wanna...not celebrate at all. But if it isn't? I'm thinking cake and friends and treat bags. Just like back in the fifth grade.

Oh. And funny hats.

Completely uncursed, I promise. I could get behind the funny hats, but the rest of it is skeptical.

...you've celebrated just about as many birthdays as I have here, Buffy. What have you done for them?

Shiki, darling? Your birthday coming up?

Next month, on the second. It's kind of a strange thing, actually. When I first got here according to Luceti's calendar it was exactly a week after my birthday, and now I'm coming up on my third one here.
