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.]

[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... ]

[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...

[numbers_r_better_n_people]

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

[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]

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.

[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]

Indeed, I have not. :: Another wry chuckle, naturellement! After all, this young woman who still looks like a bloody teenager, stands before a man who looks at least a decade older than his true age of 37, with grey hair and everything! :: I don't suppose I could meet this-- special friend of yours, to reverse my own age from this point onwards?

[He's just teasing you, Nozomi! Don't mind the old grouch.]:

[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]

Awwww... if I knew the secret I'd have shared it, too...

[ He doesn't seem too bad! Nozomi smiles awkwardly once more, sighing a little before responding again playfully. ]

I'll see if my mun or I find out anything, though~

[ Assuming that she doesn't forget, which is more likely than you think with this girl... ]

[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... ]

[numbers_r_better_n_people]

Oh! I mean. Well. Thank you very much... And... Happy birthday, again!

:: And he too, smiles awkwardly at her, before tipping his metaphorical hat at her, and walking away. ::

[Srsly, though, Tommy, did you really think a Magic GIRLS anime would allow any older BOYS to have their secrets? xD <3]

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]

[oceanicbutterfly]

Happy birthday!

[dreamingoptimist]

Ah... thank you again! It'll be a good one!

[ Nozomi smiles, grinning as she speaks up again. ]

You're not gonna... huh?

[ . . . and just like that, he's gone. Wow. So fast!

She was going to ask if he was gonna stay, but... oh, well. His decision, really... ]

[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?

[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]

Well... maybe? Hopefully?

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

[ Nozomi... ]

[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... ]

[oceanicbutterfly]

All right. I'll do whatever you want, then.

[karen no. karen you know how dangerous it is to approve of ideas nozomi hasn't had yet.]

[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. :|; ]
