@red gaze, yes i know we have that other thread but also.

[immortalpoet]

[That text he got about celebrating birthdays is making him think....hm.]

[Time to reach out. Pretending he's not awkward about it.]

miss malkuth.

when is your birthday?

@onestepforward, like i would deny you another??

[ignoreher]

[ what a fucking jumpscare. ]

I haven't really decided on a day, but it was in March... so past now.
Another year older! Which means nothing when I don't really know my age anyway. (｡ >艸<)

[ why, she wants to ask. tease if he's got something for her. but she'll keep mum for now. ]

eats all peace threads

[immortalpoet]

oh

happy belated birthday malkuth.

[ALREADY LATE....DAMN.....no he can fix this]

you can choose an age if you want to, too.

[ignoreher]

[ wait he's being soooooo cute right now ]

I'm still accepting gifts if you wanna show up and give me something.

[ who's gonna say no. gosh she wishes she could see his face. ]

[immortalpoet]

[PLEASE HE'S A SERIOUS MAN also aghhhh CALLED OUT]





can you at least


give me a moment. please

[ignoreher]

[ pfft. ]

Sorry, I couldn't resist. Take as much time as you'd like.

[immortalpoet]

[HANDS OVER HIS FUCKING FACE!!!!!!!]

was it that obvious

[ignoreher]

Not until you confirmed it.

[ she took a stab at a tease ]

[immortalpoet]

ugh





regardless. anyways. hm. how was the birthday thing. i assume you went

[ignoreher]

I did! It was super fun, but I missed seeing your grumpy face brooding in the corner. And I sort of realized yeah, bigger things aren't really for me.

[ might as well be honest about it. ]

I didn't realize there were so many birthdays coming up... I only really know Kuzu though, so I'm planning on making something for him when it comes up in a few weeks.
What'd you do, old man? Spend the time wishing I'd stolen you away?

[immortalpoet]

[(WITH WATERY EYES) YOU MISSED ME?]]

i'm sure my grumpy face would not have added anything to the experience. surprising about the bigger things though

[also wow. "wishing i'd stolen you away" WOW]

you make me sound like a damsel in distress on my high tower there

[ignoreher]

[ yes king!!!! ]

I'm not hearing a no! ♪

[immortalpoet]

[ughHHHHHH]

i guess you would have made it


tolerable if you did

[ignoreher]

[ sex did nothing for his honesty ]

That's why I didn't drag you out. If the only thing that it's got going for it is me, then I'd feel bad for forcing you along.
When's your birthday, Vergilius? I'd like to do something for it too.

[immortalpoet]

[HE'S STILL A PATHETIC TSUNDERE]

i do appreciate you thinking of me. it does mean a lot

thank you

and its fine. you don't need to do anything for it

[ignoreher]

Did I say that, Mr. Gaze?

[immortalpoet]

no you didn't...

[ignoreher]

[ like a guilty dog... ]

It's okay to say you don't want me to do anything though... Like, I'd still get you a gift, but that'd be it.

[immortalpoet]

[It takes him a good moment to reply.]

it's been a long time since anyone celebrated it

i had a crew once.



so i suppose it feels strange. not in a terrible bad way i'm not. used to it

[ignoreher]

[ it takes a moment for her to reply too, trying to figure out how to get across the softer tone she wants to use. ]

Do you want to get used to it again?

[ he wasn't always alone... his loss must include that, too. ]

[immortalpoet]

["Do you want to get used to it again?"]

[Does he deserve to?]

[After everything that he's done, should he be celebrated?]

i feel like there's not much to celebrate

[ignoreher]

That makes two of us.

[ there's nothing to celebrate about her, either. in any life she's lived. ]

But I know there's people who'd disagree, who'd want to do something anyway, who value living one more year where the people around them might not have been so lucky... so I guess I'll accept whatever someone has planned for me next year.

[immortalpoet]

[Hm.]

i don't think i've seen it that way before

there's a certain poetry to it. a meaning that


in the end, after everything, we survived, didn't we?

[ignoreher]

[ oooh. she's getting through to him... ]

Exactly!

Even if we really didn't deserve to, or want to, we did. It's one more year to bring everyone we remember into the future with us -- whether they're still here or not.

[immortalpoet]

[stop being so logical and appealing to his emo poet side damn it!!!]

i'd rather see it like that then

not to celebrate myself

but to have the promise to keep those memories for another year
