Log:

[It was pretty easy for Sora and Ven to get everything prepared, because they were hardly alone. Everyone who showed up early helped with decorations, and Hikari helped keep the zanier ideas in check - no longer would it rain glitter on Riku when he entered the room, she pared him that fate.

As the hour of the party drew close, Sora went to pick up Riku. The plan was to usher him to the building blindfolded and get him to the room they'd reserved. If Riku saw the outside, the surprise would be spoiled. And so, while waiting for the birthday boy to arrive, Ven flicked off the lights and prompted everybody to hide.

Any minute now, Sora'd be back with Riku...]

So grab a piece of cake?

[No Rep, that's not how birthday cakes work.]

I can't have any cake until Riku decides it's cake time. It's -birthday- cake.

...I didn't know that.

Yeah, birthday party protocol. Which sucks, cause they can put everyone off for -ages- if they wanna. I had a cousin do that. It was horrible.

I didn't know birthday parties had specific rules. This is the first one I've ever been to.

Wait, what? Don't tell me you don't have a birthday either! GAH

What if I don't? I said that I've never been to a birthday party, not that I don't have a birthday.

[He was 'born' about a week and a half before he came to the Pokémon world, though, if that counts.]

Well, then when is it? [And then he looks at you, all expectant like]

[Hold on, he has to think about this for a second. If he got here mid-December, his 'birthday' would be around...]

Beginning of December.

...No specific day huh? Well... [A pause as he sorts out days. A 7, a 17... so yes!] How about the tenth?

[Shrug.]

The tenth is fine with me.

[Obito grinned at him and gave a double thumbs up.]

I'll make sure everyone knows before then!

...Great. You do that.

[Thanks for the warning, bro.]

No need to sound so enthusiastic about it. [Why yes, he's pouting now.]

I told you, I've never celebrated a birthday before. Who knows, maybe in a year I won't mind, but it's brand-new to me right now.

[Peering at him a moment, he relaxed, then smiled.] Well at least you didnt' reject it outright like Rin did, that's something.

[Pff, Rin is boring.]

Rin's a bit weird.

[Also a humanized computer program, but that's part of the weird.]

Nah! He's just shy. He's pretty awesome when he starts cracking jokes!

[He really means that.]

I'll take your word for it. He didn't seem like a joke kind of guy last time I talked to him.

I totally told you! Shy! He makes jokes all the time.
