People truly do seem to struggle with heat like this. Personally, I'm used to it. I spent a lot of time in the desert, so this isn't really as awkward for me as it seems to be with others. But for people who aren't used to it, I suppose it can be overwhelming.

It doesn't work.

[sounding very very miserable. extremely. also sounds like he has his face pressed against the floor.]

[but! managing to cheer up to say:]

-- Happy Birthday anyhow! That's important, right?

voice.

[ysobritish]

What doesn't, Toboe? [A pause.] Are you alright?

[!]

Ah... thank you.

voice.

[elderyouth]

All of that. Doesn't work. It's still really, really hot. And I've traveled through a desert, too!

... What'r you gonna do during it?

voice.

[ysobritish]

I spent over four years in Iraq. The heat isn't really so difficult to bear.

...I don't know. Apparently Father is dragging me somewhere.

I already have the hat thing covered. [It's a nondescript red baseball hat. He has to wear a hat of all times because kitty ears. He's also wearing a light blue track jacket over a tank and some shorts.]

...Happy birthday. I made you a card.

Yeah... um. I wasn't sure if I should just give it to you or... are you and the grown-ups gonna do anything nice tonight for your birthday? I could give it to you then...

I don't know. Father says I'm going somewhere with him, but I don't know where or how long I'll be there. I didn't have anything planned.

[He didn't actually expect anyone to know when his birthday was.]

Actually, you might not even have to go to a doctor at all. If you develop a full bladder every three to five--

Do you have something to say to me?

[ysobritish]

I said to contact the doctor to find symptoms. I suppose a library would work just as well.

[A pause.]

No. Why?

[voice]

[snuffdoll]

Figures you'd be knowledgeable.

And, of course, happy birthday, sir.

[voice]

[ysobritish]

Heh. Thank you, Triela.

[voice]

[snuffdoll]

Yep. I've, um, got something for you, so.

[ysobritish]

[?!]

...you didn't have to do that.

I didn't know it was better to cover up...

voice until further notice;

[destructoplush]

Oh, yeah, happy birthday!

Likewise!

[ysobritish]

[ASDFGFHJKL WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP BEING NICE TO HIM?]

Ah, thank you, madam. But yes, that is true. It not only protects you from the weather conditions, it lowers your overall body temperature.

[destructoplush]

How old are you? - And, um, how does that work? It seems like it should be the other way around.
