[there's a short pause after the feed clicks on before a voice can be heard; when she does begin to speak, her voice sounds thoughtful, almost sentimental.]

I didn't think I would grow older while I was still here. That is, we grow older each day, but I trust you all catch my meaning regardless. It's a strange thing, to gain a year so far from home.

[a pause.]

I don't wish for a celebration or any gifts, but one thing I would enjoy is to hear stories. Legends or fables from your world, or experiences that you yourself have had. I find this sort of thing fascinating, truly. I would be happy to reciprocate as well.

Regardless, thank you all for your time.

[Frankly, Pinkie could use a party to throw right now, she's one tired extrovert. But it probably wouldn't be her best work, and if this lady doesn't want a party it's good to respect those wishes.]

So it's your birthday, then? Happy birthday! What kind of story do you want?

[Any story from the land that produced THIS bright pink thing has got to be interesting, right?]

[He calls up, not with any tale to tell - ten year's worth, that he's not up to speaking of - but because it's been so much longer for him since he last saw Adelina.]

Happy birthday.

[bloodbiter]

Thank you.

[a tilt of her head, thinking]

Something happy, I think. I'll let you decide beyond that.

[noprophecies]

I will only tell you a story if you have a drink with me. We do not need to celebrate, per say.

[bloodbiter]

Thank you, Erik.

[a small laugh]

If someone told me before I came here that I would be spending it on a spaceship, I certainly wouldn't have believed them.

[bloodbiter]

Well, I suppose I cannot refuse such a persuasive offer.

[noprophecies]

No, you can't. [what a shit] How old are you now, dear? So I can properly tease you.

[spontaneouscombustion]

Oooh that's a tough one, I know a LOT of happy ones! Let's see...

OH! How about I tell you how I met my friends and we helped save our world from getting plunged into eternal night!

video;

[bloodbiter]

Nineteen. Not a proper age for teasing, I'm afraid.

[j/k she knows saying that won't help save her]

[bloodbiter]

[a smile]

I would love to hear it, if I may.

[noprophecies]

Goodness, I am almost ten years older than you.

[nope you're doomed]

video;

[bloodbiter]

Is that meant to be a taunt?

video;

[noprophecies]

If it were meant to be a taunt I think you would know.

video;

[bloodbiter]

I suppose I shall trust you on that point.

Where shall we meet?

video;

[noprophecies]

Lady's choice. There are decent bars on the planet, or there is the Iskaulit's bars.

video;

[bloodbiter]

The planet, then, I think. You can take me to your favorite.

video;

[noprophecies]

Then shall we meet down there later? Once you've heard your requested stories.

video;

[bloodbiter]

Of course. I'll be there in an hour or two, I imagine.

video;

[noprophecies]

I shall await your arrival.

[she sends the details of where the bar is and signs off to head down there]

[bloodbiter]

[she arrives a while later, pushing open the door and looking around]

Clover?

[noprophecies]

[the bar is a little hole in the wall-type, certainly nothing fancy but quiet enough to suit someone like Tempest, who likes to drink in peace. When she spots Adelina she lifts her hand to wave her over]

Over here.

[bloodbiter]

[she grins when she sees tempest and heads over to take a seat near her]

This place is rather quaint.

[noprophecies]

Isn't it? I rather like it.

[seeing as she spends most of her free time here] What will you be drinking?

[bloodbiter]

Do they have wine here? If not, ale, I think.

[noprophecies]

I think they have wine.

[she waves over the bartender to take their orders - wine for Lace, and "something strong" for herself. And a request to leave the bottle and bring an extra glass, because. Well. This is drinking with Tempest]

May I ask, why you do not wish to celebrate your day of birth? Is that not a common thing to do?
