{Third New Moon} Voice

[beforemoonfall]

Hey, Splendor. Any of you guys have birthdays?

[He's got a piece of paper on his end to try and record this stuff.]

My own's coming up, and I know it's kinda close to the holidays, but... I kinda know what it's like to not have your birthday celebrated if you want it to be. So, yeah. Birthdays if you want presents?

Your birthday is coming up, Isa? That's wonderful.

[beforemoonfall]

Yeah, the twenty-eighth. What about yours?

[mykimlasca]

Well, that's hard to answer considering our world is quite a bit different from this one's seasons and days.

Rem Day, Rem-Decan 37, ND 1999.

[beforemoonfall]

[...What?]

...You weren't kidding. Huh... Guess we'll have to figure out a day to celebrate it...

[nicepartner]

Hey, your birthday's after Christmas? We could celebrate it during the party this week! And my birthday's on May 22nd.

[beforemoonfall]

Okay, May twenty-second...

[There's the sound of him scribbling the date down.]

And thanks.

[eighthprincess]

It's alright if it's close to the holidays! It doesn't mean we shouldn't celebrate it any less! When is it?

[So getting him a birthday present. HI, ISA, MEET SOMEONE FAMILIAR.]

...Oh, uhhhh, well...I don't really know my birthday.

[He sounds sheepish, and slightly apologetic.]

1/?

[beforemoonfall]

[...Wait a minute. That voice... Could it be--!?]

2/?

[beforemoonfall]

[...No. No, it can't be. He hadn't heard from him in...]

3/?

[beforemoonfall]

[...But wait, this isn't the Garden. So maybe...]

[soranghae]

Hello? Ah, I don't think I've met you yet. I'm Mi Ho, just got here a few days ago.

I don't really think I have a birthday but, I guess August 11th might count for me.

[She pauses to tally the days in her head.]

Yours is soon? What sort of things do you like?

[beforemoonfall]

Mi Ho? I'm Isa. And... August eleventh...

[And he writes that down, along with her name.]

Um... What I like...? ...Practical things, really. Though I can't think of what I'd need right now... ...I like spicy food?

[soranghae]

It's nice to meet you Isa.

Practical things and spicy food?

I don't know if I'm the best at cooking not-beef but chilis get used a lot in Korean, I mean, my home world's cooking.

[beforemoonfall]

Nice to meet you, too. And don't worry, it's the thought that counts.

[blueswillis]

Birthday? Come to think of it- when was that? ...If I said today, what'd ya give me?

[beforemoonfall]

...Nothing? Kinda don't have any notice...

[blueswillis]

...

Hm. If that's all the ingenuity you've got, it's a week from today.

[beforemoonfall]

...You don't know your own birthday, do you?
