When it's time to party we will party hard

[dressofheaven]

Who: Ilya and company
Where: Training Center
When: May 30th
Summary: It doesn't matter if everything's going utterly crazy, Ilya's having a birthday party!

It would appear she's gained quite a few years at once. (Ilya comments from Aged-up Journal: feelmyheaven)
Rating: Probably G.


It had been a very strange couple of days. Not just for Ilya but all around. She, however, might have had an even stranger time than most.

That wasn't a bad thing, though. On the contrary, she was very much enjoying running around in an older body. Really, this was how she would look all the time, if she had her choice, and for more reasons than one...

Well, no matter. In this world, it was only a matter of time. That was something she had to look forward to, at least. And what better a day to remind her of it? Sure, she'd somehow neglected to remind her friends that today was her birthday, but that was alright, really. She'd let them know and they'd go out for cake or something. Whoever was there, anyway. Given the way people had been warping around there was no guarantee she'd find everyone.

Opening the door to the Training Center, she called out.

"I'm home!"

Well... of course I like you a lot. [ She pauses, blushing a tiny bit. ] It's... not much, but... [ And she's holding out that gift for Ilya. Inside is a charm bracelet with hand-crafted charms of Ilya's main party. ]

[feelmyheaven]

Oh, Namine...

[She pulls it out and stares at it for a few moments in stunned silence before slipping it gently onto her wrist.]

How did you even make this? This is remarkable craftsmanship.

[shatterings]

Well... I've been drawing your Pokémon when I can. They really do seem to like it.

[ She smiles, folding her hands behind her back. ]

The charms are made of clay, but they should be very sturdy. I'm so happy you like it, Ilya.

[feelmyheaven]

Of course I love it. It's wonderful. Come here...

[She picks Namine up for another tight hug, grinning ear to ear as she squeezes her.]

[shatterings]

[ The tight hug squeezes a little squeak from her, but she smiles. ]

I-I'm glad.

[feelmyheaven]

[It takes a moment for Ilya to set her down again, still beaming.]

You realize you've set the bar incredibly high for when your birthday rolls around.

[shatterings]

[ Oh. ]

... I'm not even sure when my birthday is.

[ Or even if she has what would be considered a birthday. Her "birth" wasn't exactly natural, after all. ]

[feelmyheaven]

Ask Kairi. You two should share one, right?

[shatterings]

That would make sense... and maybe Xion would know, too.

[feelmyheaven]

If Xion doesn't know already, you should absolutely tell her once you find out. It's kind of an important thing to know.

[shatterings]

Mm. I will. Birthdays... are really that important?

[feelmyheaven]

Well, it does somewhat depend on who you ask, but the way I see it it's a celebration of one more year in the world. I think we all know how important a year can be by now.

[shatterings]

Mm. I guess it just... wasn't that important to me before.

[ But now with friends? She definitely sees the appeal. ]

[feelmyheaven]

Well, we'll make up for that. Don't worry about that.

[shatterings]

Well... I'll look forward to it, then.
