magentarific | o9 :: Flood of Destiny

[voice]
Since the whole place is in shambles anyway, does anyone with building skill want to help me make a new building for a coffee house? I'm willing to work as long as whoever I'm working with actually knows what they're doing, because I don't.

[ A beat of silence before she completely changes gears. ]

Also: I've got a ref and at least two players signed up, but I want to hold a beach volleyball tournament when things are less wet! I'll need at least two people to wear bikinis and aprons to hand out refreshments and lots of participants.

{{ ooc: I got permission for Yuri to have a coffee shop, but since there's no place for one she'd have to build her own. Since she has no building skill, she needs help. The flood is like a sign from destiny, though. }}

[ At any point during the day after this post, one might find Yuri wandered around town looking for a good spot that she wants to set up shop. She's wearing something different than normal, a nice green coat that she'd received as a gift quite some time ago, and it almost looks as though she's about to give up--

No, she's just heading off to get out of some of the mess to take her socks off, since they're pretty much just getting covered in mud and mess anyway and making her a lot more uncomfortable than if she had bare legs. Sure, it might not be as warm, but it's not itchy at least. ]

Don't throw a rock at it either. You're supposed to use your hands and arms.

[ It'd probably be a good thing if Yuri actually told her.. ]

I'll try. I don't usually see a lot of old people around though.

[Looking at her hands and holding them up to her face.]

Not your head, or a rock. Hands and arms. [... And now lifting a foot up into view.] Feet?

[Actually, come to think of it.] There aren't any grandpas or grandmas here.

Not feet. Feet is for football and kickball.

[ Huh. Yuri puts a finger up. ] Maybe when people get old here, they just die and then get brought back younger.

Feet is for football, kickball, not volleyball and kicking Nowy. [That sounds about right.]

Ohhh so all the old people are really young people. Are you really a grandma Yuri? Yotsuba had a grandma back home.

[ Seems legit enough. ] Exactly.

I'm a little older than I was before I died, but not that much older. I'm almost 19. I don't age though.

Ohhh, you're timeless. [That's coo'.]

You're Asagi age maybe. Or Fuuka age. You're older than Yotsuba! When do you go nineteen, soon? Tomorrow? Good luck going nineteen.

If I tell you you have to keep it a secret. I don't want everyone going and getting weird about it, I don't usually celebrate my birthday.

Don't you want a party? Yotsuba wants to go to lots more birthday parties! You can tell me, I won't tell anyone. Yotsuba is good at secrets!

I didn't really celebrate my birthday when I was alive and then I was dead after that, so it seemed a little silly.

[Birthday parties are a big enough concept for her to understand in the first place, adding death to that and how it might change things isn't helping.]

Why is it silly? Are dead guys not allowed birthday parties? Don't get in trouble Yurippe.

Well when you celebrate your birthday, you're celebrating that you're alive for another year. If you're not alive, then you can't really celebrate that right?

[... That makes sense!]

Ohhh! That's why when the grandmas go to heaven they don't have birthdays anymore! Grandma still talks to Yotsuba though. When's her birthday?

I don't know when your grandmother's birthday is, Yotsuba. [ Or what Yotsuba means by grandma still talks to her but that's more complicated ]

[She stills talks over the phone. Back home. But of course she's leaving the details out so for all anyone else knows she might be hearing the voices of her ancestors in her head. God knows.]

... When's Yotsuba's birthday? Do I have a birthday?

[ Talking about dead people then going to grandparents Yuri just assumed Yotsuba had a 6th sense or something. ]

I don't know, you'd know better than I would. Do you get to have a little party for your birthday? With cake?

... Yes.

[It's a been a long time since her last birthday though, almost a year! That's way too long for her to be expected to remember all of the details.]

There was cake. And games, and party animals. Not the crocodile though, he wouldn't listen!

Crocodiles tend to make sure birthdays don't happen again, so I can see why. Do you remember what day all that was on?

Today?!

[Does this mean she can have a party now?! Roll in the balloons and streamers and all the cake. The time is now party time.

She has no idea what date her birthday is. :|]

Are you just picking a random day?

No.

Well if it's today it's too late to celebrate then.

[Damn.] Yotsuba was picking a random day! Really random!

What was the weather like last time you celebrated your birthday? [ We'll figure this out within a range, okay. ]

It was... Normal. [Given she's yet to have a canon birthday an educated guess would be winter/spring time.

But even with a guestimate Yotsuba's memory is a force not to be trifled with. Normal weather was normal.]

Was it cold, hot, medium?
