[attached PARTY.gif]
It's been two whole years since I first woke up here! Which also means it's my birthday, and I'm... 17 now, I think? wow :D
I won't say as much as last year, but I'm just so happy with where I am right now.
and all my friends
and my girlfriend <3

[Replies will come at a point sometime later. She has to celebrate now!!]

[Knock knock. Wherever Rakka was, here's Penny, leaning in cheerfully with what's totally not a gift held behind her back.]
Happy birthday!
[action]
Rakka was just sitting around in her room, hanging out on her day off and ready to enjoy a day full of fun and cake. And just to make everything better, Penny is here!]
Penny! Thank you! [She hurries off the bed, skipping over to meet her.] It's been two entire years now that I've been here. Can you believe it?
[If you looked at her bedroom, you probably would. It looks very well-lived in.]

I think I might check out the Goldenrod library today and pick out a few books from there.
They always have great things to read about the Pokemon world.
[Action]
Don't go in the kitchen okay? There's definitely not a thing happening in there, like Jane baking up a storm or anything. It's completely chill and empty in there and it's not interesting.
That's a lie, come get some cake.][Action]
She walks in, acting totally oblivious.]
Oh my...! I wonder what's going on in here?
[Action]
Ah! Oh no! Rakka, you can't see this yet! It's not done!
[But Jane's grinning as she says it; she doesn't mind.]
[Action]
Good times.]
Oh no! I guess my birthday is ruined!
[Hehe... She's not going anywhere. In fact, she wants to see just how Jane's doing.]
It already looks great, Jane.
[Action]
[But the exclamation is joined by a laugh, and she lets Rakka take a look. Everything's going pretty good so far!]
Golly, thanks. It's just a basic kind of cake, but I'm thinking I'll decorate it extra special just for fun. There's a lot of candy on sale because of Valentine's Day coming up, and I figured it'd be nice to put some hearts on top or something.
[...Hopefully it's not the event-altered batch...]
[Action]
Wow, that's a great idea, Jane! If you don't have enough candy for it, I could probably share some of mine. [That she bought, for reasons.
...She leans in a bit.] But uh, don't tell Penny, okay?
[Action]
[She might have gotten you two some friend chocolate as well, just because she could.]
So, since you are here, what would your expert opinion be on decorating? I was thinking, "Happy Birthday Rakka" in frosting, and then some chocolate hearts around the sides, and then the M&M kind of candies for color...but if you'd prefer something different, I am all ears.
[Action]
[They can never have enough chocolate. The three of them will be munching on it until spring.]
Well, I do like M&Ms... [She's giving this the most thought possible. Nodding slowly.] I think it's a great idea so far, I can't really think of any complaints. Actually, do you think I could ask you for some advice?
[Action]
[Action]
What do you think would be best to decorate... a Valentine's cake?
[Action]
hahaha she knows what you're asking this fooooor]
Well, you can't go wrong with a pink frosting base...heart shaped sprinkles and candies shaped like flowers are good, too - roses especially. Though, for flowers, if you've got good decorating skills, making those out of frosting is also a possibility. Roses are kind of tricky, though.
[Action]
Ooh, that's a cute idea. [Hmm! She looks inspired!] I'm sure I can give it a try! I've been working at a bakery for almost two years now.
[Action]
[Action]
[ :D ]
This Valentine's day is the first one I'm going to be spending with Penny. What about you? Do you have anyone, Jane?
[ >:D ]
[Action]
[ :,D ]
[Action]
[ :o ]
[Action]
[it's fiiiiine]
[Action]
Well then, I'll just have to help you find a Valentine for next year! It's the least I can do!
[Action]
[Action]
Still, I... want you to be happy too, Jane.
[Action]
[Action]
I mean, for me too. This has probably been one of the best times of my life. I'm so happy here.
[Action]
Eh...Sburb, and all that. Whatever was going to be in store. [Jane shrugs. It doesn't matter, can't catch her sad thoughts!] I honestly keep meeting people here who've ended up for the better because of their experience, so at least we're not alone in that regard.
[Action]
I know! Sometimes it seems like people were in awful situations before this. It's great to know some people are better off here then back home. [She shrugs as well. Unfortunately, she's not as fast as Jane.] Sometimes I wonder about my home though.
[Action]
[Action]
[Action]
[It's...kind of sad, actually.]
If that was the case...it'd be nice if we were able to send messages back. "We're okay", at least.
