[ Here comes another post from Rainer in the wee hours of the morning! Question is, did she wake up early? Or has she not gone to bed yet? ]
Guess what! It's my birthday today! Don't ask me how old I am (a lady never tells).
Anyway, it got me to thinking... What sort of birthday rituals or traditions are there where you come from? Birthdays back home were always pretty normal, I feel. My dad would bake a cake and the skeletons would perform a little dance for me that they choreographed just for the occasion. Then when I was in school I'd throw a party at the tavern on campus and invite all my friends. You know, normal stuff.
But maybe it's not normal where you come from! And if that's the case, then I want to hear what is! Consider it your present to me. ;)

Yeah, some of my friends throw huge parties for their birthdays
but I think on the whole I prefer just having some cake with mom.

[ Which would, of course, make her a necromancer, too. ]
I like parties, but not huge ones. Just a nice get together of friends is enough for me.
no subject
[Well, so much for needing to ask what school of magic Rainer was pursuing back in her world.]
That's... unexpected.
[Call it stereotypes, but usually Necromancers were a lot more into the whole dark goth aesthetic and mournful bullshit about life and death and everything in between. Like Zayn had been before becoming a ghost. Rainer wasn't much like that. She was, from what Riz had been able to tell so far, pretty goddamn chipper all the time and didn't wear black leather everything all the time.]

I know, I know... We Necromancers don't exactly have the best reputation. But I promise you, my dad and I don't mean anyone any harm.
no subject
And I guess--
I mean, full disclosure, skeletons and zombies and all are still pretty creepy.
But it's not like only one sort of people or class can be evil.
My friend is *literally* an Archdevil who rules over the Bottomless Pit
and she is not evil at all.
(I was there for the court proceedings when she won a coup. It was dope)
So I am not going to make a big deal out of you being a necromancer.

2. Your friend sounds AWESOME.
3. Thank you, I appreciate it.
no subject
Like, I'm pretty sure her crazy ideas are gonna get us all killed some day, but it'll be great right up until that point.
Anyway, seeing as it is your birthday and all, wanna see your first ever movie?
I've found some movies here that are sorta like the ones we got back home, so they should be pretty awesome.
no subject
Oh my gods! That would be so fun! I'd love to!
no subject
but I'm not exactly ready to go there just yet, you know?
So it's a no thanks on the crazy death ideas from me.
Great!
Can we watch it where you are staying or do you wanna come over here?
I don't think miss Jane would mind you hanging out here.
no subject
Or an "I know I'm gonna go somewhere pretty cool" because you have a faith in a higher power with a predetermined afterlife deal?
That depends... Where is "here?"
I'm in Goldenrod, but I've been staying in a hotel so it might not be the chiliest hang spot.
no subject
Ask me again in person and maybe I can tell you more.
[Riz is just not entirely sure how much this network can be trusted. But in person, he wouldn't mind telling Rainer part of the tale. Not the Kalina stuff, but some about his dad, at least.]
I'm in Goldenrod too.
I got a job at Miss Jane's detective agency.
And she gave me a room too.
It's the Fletcher Gym, if you are familiar with it.
no subject
[ She gets wanting to hold more personal things closer to the chest, and she knows how, ah... careful Riz can be. ]
Oh, yeah, I know where that is! I got some pumpkin muffins from Jane once when she made a whole lot of them.
I'm down to meet up there for movie time! Is there anything I should bring with me?
no subject
Well, if we are gonna watch a movie, then we should definitely have popcorn.
Like, you've never done this, so this is your first lesson about movie-hangouts: you need popcorn.
no subject
Anything else I need to know ahead of time?
no subject
But I've seen a movie like it in my own realm and that one was good.
So, no guarantees on the quality of this movie but if it's bad, we can clown on it.
