[On the vine, Beatrice can be seen sitting in an arbour at a teatable.]

Hmm, is it already the twenty-ninth in this place?  With the time discrepancy upon arrival, I very nearly missed the date.  After one thousand years, birthdays hardly matter, but even so, it would be sad to spend it entirely alone.

It really is too bad, a birthday is always the

[Several moments later, a response unfurls]

Is 0715 07/15?

[text] she'll try to lock this, but...

[cowtitsandwich]

Very good, very good! It is indeed.

[notvitiligo]

I am guessing it has to do with the birthday thing.

P.S. Happy Birthday. I do not know you but I guess it is good manners.

[cowtitsandwich]

Thank you. You are quite perceptive to notice that.

[bluetruths]

.... Your birthday, huh? Heh. It's surprising you didn't make a huge deal out of it or something.

[ But.... those creepy numbers again....

She knew it was her own birthday, but.... With the date today...

.... Beato's?

Normally, Battler would say something about it, but she promised to understand her completely before she finally killed Beato. If she's mentioning it here, there has to be something especially important.

Couldn't she just make this message less roundabout? ]

come on battler, you know that's not how beato does things!!

[cowtitsandwich]

I don't particularly care for it, to be honest. There are a few negative connotations to the date. If only it was a day later.

battler will complain regardless!!!

[bluetruths]

... That's pretty funny, coming from you. Knowing you, I'd expect for you to demand a present from me or something.

Still.. I didn't think you'd bring one of your cryptic riddles here.

[cowtitsandwich]

But of course. Why would I make such an announcement otherwise?

[She chuckles] What 'cryptic riddle'~?

[This reply is delayed a bit... but she knows well enough that an 11 and a 29... makes today. Thinking the other numbers through has Alice reach a conclusion about what they all mean.]

Pardon the question, but are you the one who made those numbers?

Oh, and Happy Birthday, for what that's worth.

[cowtitsandwich]

I suppose I'll be honest; yes, I made them.

Thank you.

[shanghaiworld]

Someone special you know born on July fifteenth? If so, it's an interesting way to grab their attention, if it works.

And I suppose I should say nice going for remembering yours. I can't even remember my own, and I'm still young on the grand scale of things.

[cowtitsandwich]

Ah, was it that easy to realise? Well, it is another birthday.

It's certainly quite easy to forget something so trivial once you have lived several hundred years, but there are certain reasons I could never forget mine.

[Aside from it really only being her second or third birthday...ssh, ssh.]

[is_a_good_girl]

Happy birthday!

[cowtitsandwich]

Why thank you! You seem to be quite considerate.

[is_a_good_girl]

Well it's only proper, right?

[cowtitsandwich]

It is, however you could just as easily be uncaring or even rude.

[mnementomori]

[she's not sure what to make of the numbers, but she copies them down in her journal out of curiosity.]

Um--I could help you with a party, if you want. I've done it with a few of them already.

Ah, and--...Happy Birthday?

[video]

[cowtitsandwich]

Thank you for the offer, but it's quite alright, to be honest I don't particularly feel up to it. Tea is just right for now.

[video] late because thank you russia

[mnementomori]

Oh--okay.

I've never had tea before.
