[Video 03/Action]

[The blond pops up on the screen with a background that is clearly not anywhere in Kanto. Heck, to the trained eye it's clearly Goldenrod. The Goldenrod Department store roof to be exact. Of course he'd find the tallest building in the entire place before anywhere useful, like a hotel.]

I got a question!

[He adjusts the screen as something off screen gets his attention.]

We can do that later, Demyx. [Attention back to the viewer.]

Are you supposed to tell people before or the day of that it's your birthday? Because I forgot to do it before leaving! I picked today! Sorry, Naminé and Xion. I was gonna tell you! I swear!

[His gaze drifts off of the screen before flicking back to the feed.]

Oh yeah! Where's the best place to take bird Pokémon in Goldenrod?


[ACTION]

[Roxas turned off the feed and stood there watching the sky for a while. Goldenrod wasn't as nice with the circus not in full swing. That had been fun. Maybe he could find something just as fun for his self-made birthday. Rin wouldn't be here for another week at least, so Roxas will take his time exploring.

He tells his Pokémon not to fly off too much in case he needs them, heading down to the bottom floor of the store to exit. Maybe he could find that Honeyed Soul place and get something sweet for himself. You're supposed to have cake, right?]

I don't know what a Honeyed Soul is supposed to look like...

You definitely have to tell them before hand. And make sure they know what you want so you don't get stupid things.

[seasaltkey]

Oh yeah... I wasn't even thinking about presents. I just picked this day the other day.

[chickshades]

...you what?

[seasaltkey]

I picked the day. I didn't have a birthday, so I made my own!

[chickshades]

How can you not have a birthday?

[ This is like the kid who said he didn't have a mom. What's with these people? ]

[seasaltkey]

I wasn't born like normal people. So I didn't have one. But my friends said I could pick my own!

[chickshades]

Shouldn't it just be whenever you showed up then? Or however you were actually born?

[seasaltkey]

I don't remember any of that... I just remember summer vacation before coming here.

[chickshades]

I don't think anyone remembers actually being born. I know I sure as hell don't, but I still have a birthday.

[ But still, only remembering a few months of your life... This kid doesn't look that old but that still sounds wrong. ]

You sure you didn't get hit in the head or something?

[seasaltkey]

No! I was-... I wasn't born like you and everyone else here, so that's why I didn't have a birthday! I have memory of a week to go off of!

[You're getting him mad now.]

[chickshades]

Fine then, whenever that day was that you last remember. Is that what you picked?

[seasaltkey]

I don't know! There wasn't really a calendar... I picked it because the numbers matched and it's in summer.

[chickshades]

Okay fine. Just sounded weird.

Hell, you could have as many as you wanted then. Just keep telling new people it's coming up soon. You'd get lots of stuff that way!

[seasaltkey]

But that's lying.

[He doesn't like lying.]

[chickshades]

Or don't, whatever.

Aside from presents, birthdays are kinda pointless. The only ages that matter really are 18 and 20.

[seasaltkey]

T-This is my first birthday! It's not pointless!

[chickshades]

So are you technically one year old then?

[seasaltkey]

[OH SHI-]

..... I-I don't know!

[chickshades]

You gotta know that. How the hell else are you gonna know when you can start drinking?

[ Not that he followed those laws, but some people do. ]

[seasaltkey]

Drinking? Drinking what?

[Like water?]

[chickshades]

...Alcohol?

[seasaltkey]

... What's alcohol?

[chickshades]

...you've never been drunk before?

[seasaltkey]

I don't even know what that means...

[HE'S A KID.]

[chickshades]

Like, a beer. Have you ever had one??

[ He's talking to a guy in a street gang. Whose base is literally a bar. ]
