Who: Caster, everyone, and one unfortunate victim.
Broadcast: Text! Anonymous text. She's so sneaky.
Action: On the Vanquish!
When: Backdated to yesterday, the 19th!

[Bright and early in the morning, there's an anonymous text post flagged as urgent to the network. Does the network even have urgent flags? It apparently does now. Magic is great.]

ATTENTION, FLEET:
Today is the birthday of an incredibly amazing and talented person! The Vanquish's very own Hermione Granger!
It seems like she's keeping it secret, because she's humble along with everything else, but that won't do at all! People of importance have to be recognized!
So, be sure to shower her plenty of love and praise today, and also gifts! Birthday presents are important too!
All celebrators are to come to the Vanquish immediately!
This is how birthdays work, right?

Of course there is.

[... she's not saying what it is, though...]

[ Interesting. ]

Well, I won't pry. It's between you and Hermione.

Oooh?

[She perks up considerably at that response. Looks like he picked the right dialogue choice.]

Hm, you're a good person, aren't you? You understand quickly!

Ah . . . I'm usually in tune with such feelings, that's all.

That makes you better than most.

It really doesn't.

[ It never does. ] But I try my best.

Don't be so down on yourself. I've met a lot of people, after all, and people who can't read the mood are everywhere.

That's just natural, though. After all, we're all different even when we're the same. It's a job easier said than done. So I try to be forgiving about it. And not boast.

There's nothing wrong with boasting, is there? Well, I can relate, people don't like it. But still, I don't think there's anything wrong with taking pride in what you do better than those around you.
