76. Levity

[corrinesbell]

You ever get so bored you just forget how much time's gone by?

It's the start of another month, which means more new feathers. I know there'll be a lot more than this, but to anyone who's already here...well, I guess it'd be weird to say welcome. Anyway, I'm Sheena. I've been here for a pretty long time - longer than most people here - so I'd be okay answering any questions if you had them.

Hey, Stella. I wanna talk to you when you're not busy.

I'm always that bored. I can barely remember what day it is half the time.

[corrinesbell]

Yeah, but you're you.

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

Are you implying that I'm a flake?

...Wait. Don't answer that.

[corrinesbell]

Good choice.

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

Always gotta be picking on old Zelos, huh?

[corrinesbell]

You're not old.

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

Older than you. Which isn't that hard, actually. You're almost underage.

[corrinesbell]

Are you kidding? I've been here for more than a year, remember? I'm almost two years older than I was when I left.

[[ooc: Because her arbitrary birthday is July 27]]

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

And I'm two years older than you'd remember, too.

We should have like, a makeup birthday party or something.

[corrinesbell]

People here aren't usually in a partying mood.

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

People can't just sit down in the dumps all the time, though.

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

What is it, Sheena?

[corrinesbell]

Are you busy?

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

Not at all.

[corrinesbell]

Great! Mind if I come over?

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

I don't mind. ♥ I'll meet you at the front door.

[corrinesbell]

Okay.

[at your door just minutes later, carrying something]

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

[And she's at the door to open it for her] Hello!

[corrinesbell]

Hey.

[holds out what's in her hands - two bags that look suspiciously giftbag-like]

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

[Giftbag-like... gasp! Are they what she thinks they are?]

...You remembered?

[corrinesbell]

Of course I did. ...Well, one's for Sophie. We have a holiday for kids in Mizuho and I didn't get to say anything about it.

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

A gift for Sophie, too? Well, you're full of surprises, Sheena. [She steps back to allow Sheena inside, a big smile on her face. You've made her happy ♥]

[corrinesbell]

I didn't really know what she'd like, so... [so it's a stuffed toy. But a cute and fuzzy one]

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

[She opens that giftbag first then. A-Awwww, cute and fuzzy are two things that are great for babies] Oh, I'm sure she'd love this! It looks perfect for chewing on, too... She's still in that stage.

[corrinesbell]

[hands over Stella's bag too]

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

[Oh, what is this? She sets Sophie's doll aside for now to open her own gift, and it's...]

...! Oh, Sheena, you shouldn't have... [A bathing suit! She sets the bag down and holds it up to herself, a very pleased look coming across her face.] And it looks like it'll be my size!

[corrinesbell]

[she looked hard enough] I hope so.

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

[And it's just the right color and everything! She'll set that by Sophie's gift and move in to give Sheena a big hug.] Thank you so much, Sheena!

[corrinesbell]

Happy birthday.

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

Thank you... again. [Stella pulls back now, still rather giddy about all this] It's hard to believe... I'm actually nineteen.

[corrinesbell]

Hey. It's not that old. I was nineteen when I got here.

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

Well, considering this is my second birthday...

[corrinesbell]

Yeah? ...Senel better come up with something nice.

Sheena!

[corrinesbell]

Whoa! What the--

...Corrine?

[Action]

[shinyfoxsummon]

Mm-hmm! Corrine is back!

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

I missed you.

[Action]

[shinyfoxsummon]

Corrine is sorry. Corrine didn't mean to disappear like that.

[sing-thrush.livejournal.com]

I do that a lot.

[corrinesbell]

Glad it's not just me.

[colony_brat]

That's why you should open a place like Azzip. Keeps me busy. Or make friends and talk to them.

[corrinesbell]

As if I didn't already have friends to talk to.

[colony_brat]

Then ya shouldn't be that bored, pretty lady. You can enjoy some time with 'em.
