( phone )

[ There's a pause, as if the person who just started the call isn't sure whether they should really go through with it in the end or not, but.. she does speak up after a little while, a little hesitantly as always. ]

U-um.. that strange thing that was going on last weekend is over now, isn't it..? [ she 'hmms' a little to herself, trying to work up the courage to go on. ] Y-you see.. it's a little strange, since my birthday was Sunday and everyone was.. really strange, so I didn't want to say anything about it..

[ her voice slowly trails off. ]

S.. sorry. I don't remember w-where I was going with this either, so.. I'll just stop now, good day..

( across town )

[ After that rather embarassing moment, Nadeko is just going to flee out of the house and go out, trying to avoid people while walking through town. She's not difficult to spot though with that characteristic hat, so if you want to approach her, now's your chance. ]

Yes, it was rather odd how people were behaving, wasn't it...oh, but happy belated birthday, Nadeko-chan!

[imoutos]

A-ah.. thank you, Mamizou-san, that's very kind of you to say..

And it was definitely strange.. I-I didn't even dare to talk to most people.

[pompokolin]

Well, this town likes to have its fun with us, doesn't it? Still, we may as well make the most of it while they're bored of us for the time being. Is there anything you'll be doing for your birthday?

[noluckduck]

Man, that's a shitty time to have a birthday. Then again, it's Mayfield.

[imoutos]

[ oh god, stranger danger-- Nadeko is horribly shy, so her voice quiets down even a little more, but she does speak. ]

L-Last year it wasn't so bad around that time, so.. um.. I figured that if I would get lucky once, I'd get unlucky once too..

[noluckduck]

[Clover will continue not to care for the moment.]

Hard to believe ya got lucky even once.

[returntospring]

Oh, I'm so sorry I missed your birthday, Nadeko-chan...

I know it's a little late, but would you like to do something to celebrate?

[imoutos]

[ .. ] H-huh? Celebrating?

[ she almost sounds a little panicked, but it's more that she's surprised, really. ]

W-.. would that really be alright? I wouldn't want to inconvenience everyone..

[returntospring]

I don't think it would inconvenience anyone. It's not really fair, that you missed your birthday because of something strange this town did... so I'm sure everyone would understand.

HAPPY BIRTHDAAAAAAAY~!!

[imoutos]

[ There's just a yelp from this side of the line-- yup, Nadeko just completely got scared by that, she even managed to drop the phone on the ground. A moment later it's picked up again though. ]

U-.. u-um.. thanks..?

[echoing_sutras]

You're welcome!

[phone]

[watchthenails]

Oh, it was your birthday? What bad luck you have, dear. But happy belated birthday.

[imoutos]

A-ah.. thank you. [ It's a little strange, getting birthday wishes from strangers - and scary, since she's so shy - but nice too. ]

And I don't think my luck was that bad.. a-after all, it could have been worse. I could have been affected too, but I wasn't..

[watchthenails]

Oh, so you were not? That is some luck then, I suppose.

Have you gotten a proper celebration yet?

[ phone ]

[extraordinarily]

That sure sucks, having a birthday during that kind of time.

[imoutos]

I.. guess it can't be helped. [ Nadeko isn't one to easily complain, after all. ] I'm sure a lot of people must h-have that problem..

[extraordinarily]

Well, if they have that problem...

[Too bad this is on the phone, or else Haruhi's grin would widen by a thousand.]

They should have a super-big party in order to compensate for missing the day of their birthday, right?!

[ex_seventh238]

[yeah screw answering she'll just go find Nadeko-chan directly!! Ciel's good at stalking tracking/finding people though, so it won't be long before that orange hat comes into sight...]

--Ah, there you are, Nadeko-chan! [She'll be greeted with a cheerful wave! Still a few dozen feet away though, hopefully that wouldn't have startled her too badly?

(She's carrying her handbag and it seems full too, but details, right? Details.)]

[imoutos]

[ She's not as startled since it's someone she knows, but it's Nadeko so she'll still be a little startled either way, clinging onto her hat before she fully realises it's Ciel. At the realisation she quickly comes pattering over though. ]

Ciel onee-chan.. were you looking for me?

[ex_seventh238]

[yes good...

Nods!]

I was, as a matter of fact! But there's no rush, so no worries. Are you out for some fresh air, Nadeko-chan? [let's start with small talk those are good for unwinding, okok]

action; im not late

[cueball]

[...Oh?

Well, hmm...ok he thinks he knows what to get her.

Once he gets the gift after hearing the call, he'll use his omniscience to locate her and walk toward where she is. If she spots him along the street, she'll notice a white bag hanging down his hand.]

you're so late you're banned from rping with me again ever

[imoutos]

[ Yup, she does manage to spot him. And he's someone she knows and likes in this place, after all, so it doesn't take too long for her to be pattering over already, waving just a little - she doesn't want to pull other people's attention, after all. ]

A.. ah, oji-san..!

phone

[heartmaestro]

...it was your birthday? [Yes that is the thing she picked up on nope not even gonna question the other parts...............]

[imoutos]

[ it's okay, she doesn't really want to talk about the other parts either way.. ]

Um.. h-hmm, that's right! Only a little while ago..
