And a happy birthday to this girl...!

[dreamingoptimist]

I'm glad that you didn't forget my birthday, mun... I really am! But do you know what you plan to do with me for it?

[ Uh, mun hasn't thought that far ahead, you know... ]

... well, a party would always be nice! With friends and Coco-kun and a really big cake and lots of snacks in-between...

[ Nozomi... ]

Oh... come on, you know what I mean! Anyway, it's decided! We'll figure out something to do today, right? Right?

[ GIVE ME SOME TIME TO FIGURE OUT SOMETHING. Good lord... 8U ]

HURRAH FOR PARTIES
OR MAYBE YOU COULD GO OUT TO EAT
...OR YOUR MUN COULD GIVE YOU A PRESENT :O

[Teresa doesn't really get the big draw in celebrating birthdays specifically, but celebrating is always fun! Getting gifts makes such things even better.]

[dreamingoptimist]

Presents and food are always nice... my mun knows a few people who play my friends, too, so I'm hoping we can work out something there, as well.

[ She smiles wistfully at that. ]

And yes! Parties are always fun...

[thedraconianway]

[Through the magic of Dear_Mun, Teresa jabs her cane at the thread below them.]

YOURE 21??
THATS OLDER THAN ME
WAIT
IF IT TURNS OUT YOU DONT AGE IN YOUR CANON AFTER ALL, HOW OLD ARE YOU?
IF YOU DONT AGE, ARE YOU IMMORTAL??

[dreamingoptimist]

No one quite knows, actually... it's a mystery even to us...

[ Nozomi frowns quietly, crossing her arms and sighing loudly to herself. ]

My mun likes to joke that we stopped aging when we became Precure...

[numbers_r_better_n_people]

Well, then. Happy birthday to you, then-- a trifle early, perhaps? But still, the sentiment is meant in earnest... And many happy returns...

So.... If you don't mind my asking, of course. How old are you turning this year...?

[dreamingoptimist]

Thank you for the wishes! Technically, I'd be 21 this year...

... I say "technically" because our canon's kind of confusing when it comes to whether or not we actually age. Even my mun's not sure what's going on there...

[ Seriously, Toei, you and your All Stars movies making us all confused on how old she actually is... ]

[numbers_r_better_n_people]

Oh yes? :: And Tommy has to chuckle wryly at that :: If only all of us could be so lucky....

[dreamingoptimist]

Oh? I never thought of it as luck as it was more a cherished first meeting for me... I wouldn't have met my friends and Coco-kun otherwise.

... it sounds like you may not have had it as well, though.

[actsmagnificent]

[ Bunhead, you dyed your hair. Oh wait. ]

Sounds like every day's a party with you, kitten.

[ Careful you don't get hit with flying rose petals when you look over, Nozomi. As a special birthday present, Haruka is in full bifauxnen mode. ]

[dreamingoptimist]

[ Rose petals everywhere...!? Who let her borrow the rose petal hurricane from Kurumi or Syrup? She's a little surprised but she relaxes and smiles back at Haruka, nodding. ]

I guess you can say that...! To me it feels like every day is an adventure, really...

K-kitten...?

[ Good job, now she might or might not be blushing a little due to being flustered at the compliment... ]

not really here

[inthenameofthemoon]

[ Excuse you, Haruka-san. Surely you're not so old that you're mixing up magical girl leader protagonists.... ]

also not here

[tookittoeleven]

[HARUKA-SAN

WHAT ARE YOU DOING]

oh lucky her, a dumpling platter

[actsmagnificent]

[ ....The wind is gusting anxiously. Is someone watching?

Oh well. Haruka's talking to this new girl now. ] Are you hoping for a particular present?

oh my. /suggestive eyebrow waggle

[dreamingoptimist]

[ Maybe? Nozomi doesn't seem to notice, though, as she looks away for a few moments. ]

N-not really... just some time with friends and good food's usually enough for me, but...

Perhaps... I wouldn't mind a surprise present...

[ Oh, dear... ]

[oceanicbutterfly]

Happy birthday!

[dreamingoptimist]

Thank you, Karen! It's been a good one so far...

[ She's all smiles as usual, can you tell? ]

Are you gonna be able to join me?

[oceanicbutterfly]

[That is definitely typical Nozomi.]

Join you? Are you going somewhere?

[dreamingoptimist]

Well... maybe? Hopefully?

I haven't exactly figured out what I want to do for my birthday yet... something fun, though!

[ Nozomi... ]

[looksgoodindrag]

No need to rush. They'll have something.

[...Forever questioning his mun's life choices in the meantime, because why does he want to make this into a tradition?]

[dreamingoptimist]

Hopefully! It gets kind of boring just sitting around in here doing nothing sometimes...

[ Not that she minds, but whenever she gets dragged out to do things they usually end up being completely weird, stupid, perverted or some combination of all of the above... ]

[looksgoodindrag]

If all else fails, my mun will probably 'toss' me at you.

[Not to worry, when it's not for a game, he usually ends up being tossed to some bafffling thing himself...]

[dreamingoptimist]

Toss? That sounds kinda painful...!

[ Nozomi, it's okay, he can handle it. We think. :|; ]

this is not late

[notfromcanada]

...Happy birthday and stuff.

[Syrup, you charmer.]

of course it isn't

[dreamingoptimist]

Syrup! Thanks... it's been a good one so far!

It's good to see you, by the way... how've you been?

[notfromcanada]

I'm glad. Ah, I would've brought a gift, but time is weird in these headspaces. So just... I owe you one free flight, okay?

Hm, fine, I guess... Even with a mun as crazy as mine. Seriously, she's weird.
