Enzo's disinclined to really celebrate his 14th unbirthday in the midst of a loukanicanthropic* crisis. It's just not a party atmosphere.

Still, he has hit six feet even, and Bar has given him a digital cupcake with a candle in it.

Come say hi and, if you're new to sprites, wonder how he grew an inch since yesterday.

Annd there's Clementine.

With a noisemaker. And a non-digital houseplant which she bribed Bar to give her on seeing the cupcake. This's is her go-to gift for all friend-shaped life forms.

"Starting to creak yet?"

[a1enzo]

"I think you're confusing me with you."

He eyes the plant. That cannot be for him, can it?

[hey35nholding]

"Watch out. I'll tell Dani I saw you in your Pac-Man sheet." Oh, the plant's for him, all right. It even has a shiny bow! "You can probably get Bar to digitize it for you, but I didn't know how to do that, so..." she thrusts it toward him. "Happy Birthday!"

[a1enzo]

"Thanks." Well, he supposes it'll class up the dorm room a bit. "We do that ourselves. The laser's upstairs."

[hey35nholding]

She's impressed. "How big's your laser?"

[a1enzo]

Enzo opens his mouth to reply, then closes it.

Man, why can't Dani pitch him softballs like that?

[hey35nholding]

And that gives Clementine space to roll her eyes. "You just lost your complaining privileges, son."

[a1enzo]

"I didn't say anything!"

[hey35nholding]

"You were thinking it!" she accuses. "I could see your processor...things...flicking around," she adds confidently.

[a1enzo]

"I'm a teenager! That's my default setting!"

Double entendres merely give it focus.

[hey35nholding]

She rolls her eyes. "I have brothers. Trust me, I know what your 'default setting' is." The tip of his nose is fondly poked.

[a1enzo]

Glaaaare.

"Yeah, well... anyway, it's you. I just assume whatever you say, it's meant to be dirty."

[hey35nholding]

Clementine snickers. "Knew I missed my calling when I didn't become a burlesque comic," she teases.

[a1enzo]

"Definitely. Anyway, the laser's huge"-he humours her with an eyebrow waggle-"but it's not all laser. There's a lot of hardware attached."

[hey35nholding]

She rolls her eyes at the eyebrow waggle. "So it's like another internet thing?"

[a1enzo]

"Well, yeah, that's the point. It's for digitizing and matterizing."
