[Leon hasn't posted to the network in quite a while, mostly because he's had no reason to. But he does, today, sort of...]

Uh, I just got a "Party Pack" from my work, and I'm not really sure what to do with it... the label on it says it has balloons, a table clothe, place settings, a coupon for cake... and some other stuff too, I think.

Anyways, I was wondering if anyone wanted it? I don't really get why they sent it to me–

[He pauses, just for a moment, as if remembering something.]

I think it's my birthday?

[ !! ]

Happy birthday, hyung!

[leonized]

[Wh...at does that mean...]

Hyung?

[dumbfound]

Yeah!

[ ... :D


....

Was he supposed to explain that? ]

[leonized]

Does that mean something?

[dumbfound]

Oh uhm...

[ Switching to purposely speaking in English, trying to think of the best equivalent term he knows. ]

Brother?

[momentaryspring]

Happy birthday.

I'll take it off your hands if you don't want it. My housemate could use a party.

[leonized]

Yeah, if you want it, I'll give it to you.

... And thanks.

[momentaryspring]

I should be the one thanking you. But... isn't it a little strange? Why would they give you a party pack instead of a party...?

[leonized]

[He shrugs.]

I work as a party prince so it's probably easier...

[momentaryspring]

Aha. So you probably never want to see another party again.

Would you mind mailing the box to my address? I can send you the appropriate funds for shipping.

[dualismum]

You think? [ he laughs lightly]

Happy birthday! Why don't you take the cake at least? You can eat it with friends.

[leonized]

[He doesn't know the exact date on the human calendar!

Also, what's a friend, Sasaki.]

Mm, that's probably the most attractive part, though, and I don't want the rest...

[dualismum]

Well, you can still accept it and then offer it to someone else?

[leonized]

I guess so...

[Hmmmm.]

I could always buy myself a cake, too.

[dualismum]

You can have both. One for free, one that you bought.

[glowsferatu]

[ Well that's...weird. ]

Now, wait. Are you not sure it's your birthday, or is it a matter of not calculating how it may be different here?

[leonized]

... The second.

[glowsferatu]

So, really the surprise is more that it's happening today? I guess the more curious part is how your work knew.

[leonized]

I guess it was in my records?

[glowsferatu]

I guess. If someone knew all of the relevant dates, it wouldn't be difficult to do the math. I know I have, for myself.

So, how old are you, then?

[dreamkid]

[ Hey, this guy, it's been a while! ]

Oh, happy birthday! You didn't really forget your birthday, did you?

video;

[leonized]

Sort of.

[dreamkid]

[ He laughs, but not unkindly. ]

I guess it could be hard to remember, with the different times and stuff.

You're not having a party or anything?

[leonized]

No. There's no point, really.

[And he doesn't have anyone he particularly wants to invite...]

[dreamkid]

[ He blinks. ]

Why not? If it's your birthday, you should celebrate.

[ His tone ends on more of a questioning note than an insistent one. Why pass up on a birthday party??? ]
