Video(ish)-- Ecruteak Inn, Birthday Bash!

[brokencode]

[The moment the video clicked on, Angel let out a sigh. A small hand lifted, pinching the bridge of her nose, before lowering once more, settling onto the back of a new face-- a Glameow. Finally, she offered the device a thin smile.]

I had a plan to offer a sentimental message about growing older, but it seems I was preempted. [She laughed, but it came without humor.] What you heard was correct, today is my birthday.

[A pair of feelers announced the approach of 'Dora, the sylveon, who wrapped his appendages around her in a gesture of comfort.]

It also would appear that I've been here six months now. It's a lot to consider -- celebrating my first birthday on my own, six months after I broke free from my father. To be honest, it's the first time I've recognized it in almost a decade.

It's... a big deal.

[One final sigh, before a smile broke through. It was perhaps a little sad, but still genuine.]

My door will be open today, for anyone who might want to stop by. You can meet my new friend, Princess Smoosherella. [The cat mewled a greeting.] We can all get ice cream together!

[[Right here's the catch-all I've been promising! Feel free to put anything you need in here, in-person or otherwise! Angel's still at the Ecruteak in for a few days longer.]]

You're right, you're right, I'm sorry. Just...y'know. Automatic reaction. Not cool.

[It's much easier to present that facade that he's in the wrong on a public channel.]

Well alright. I'm uh...I'm looking forward to seeing you, sweetheart.

[brokencode]

I'm... I think it might be fun. What time works for you?

[thedifferencebetween]

Anytime, sweetheart! Name a time, I'll make it happen.

[brokencode]

Early afternoon then, how about that? I can meet you both at the Pokemon center.

[thedifferencebetween]

Sounds good! There's a real nice little lunch place, just down the street. Thought we'd go there?

[brokencode]

[Little had her nervous, but the rest of it sounded pleasant enough.]

Very well then. I... I look forward to it.

[Luckily, Jack's idea of 'little' is not equal to most people's concept of 'little'.]

Cool, cool! We'll see ya later, princess!
