[ The video opens to... the ceiling? With a fair bit of commotion in the background. Voices can be heard near the vicinity of the shellphone, suggesting its user is nearby, before an irritated sigh booms from the side. ]

—Why's it such a big deal, anyway!? It doesn't matter!

[ The jostled device shifts as a hand seems to reach for the camera, only for it to be snatched away just as small fists attempt to clamp themself around it.

Another sigh, but this time from a much younger voice.

"Aw, don't be like that, dad! It's your birthday! Just lettem know!"

There's a loud "tsk!" that follows, and long white hair flashes across the screen before the scene moves again. Almost as if... he had climbed on something? Higher? The world below looks a little smaller, but with that clarity comes the beaming face of Moroha. Her half scowling, half smiling face indicting her motives quite clearly.

"It's a big deal! Tell'em or I'll do it for you...!" ]

H- hey! Back up! Don't touch that—

[ .... Annnnd a "thunk!" followed by the shellphone toppling to the ground as Moroha sweeps in and scoops it up.

"Haaaappy birthday! Make sure to say it to'em, too—" ]

Morohaaaaaa!!

[ Before more rustling and the feed cuts off— ]

Comments

[bloodthirstydawn]

It's special cause its yours, dad! Geez, how do I get it through that thick skull of yours?

[She's just going to cut in for that moment. She huffs at Inuyasha but flashes a quick grin at the phone to Ventus]

[brokenlight]

[Nope. ACCEPT THE SMILE.]

She's right about that. She wants to celebrate you. I can even come bring you a present!

[Ventus has no idea who these people are, but birthdays are meant to be celebrated!]

[halfdog]

[ He was going to protest again, but unfortunately the ears on top of his head twitched excitedly at the mention of a present. ]

Huh? A present? What kind?

[bloodthirstydawn]

So now you're interested in your birthday?

[Thank you Ventus]

[brokenlight]

Hmm, food?

[He tilts his head.]

I don't know what other things you might like, but everyone likes food.

[halfdog]

Mmm... well, I do like food. But it's gotta be the good kind!

[brokenlight]

What kind of food you do you like to eat?

[halfdog]

Ramen!

[ he shouts of matter-of-factly. he just how a breakdown about it recently, but that's still his go-to. ]

Or some of those weird rolled eggs that Kagome brought me before. Those are good too, I guess.

[brokenlight]

[Ventus blinks slowly.

Ramen? Rolled eggs? He's familiar with the first, but the second...]

I'll bring you some.

[halfdog]

[ ....and just like that Inuyasha's demeanor has changed to something a little more... brighter? He smiles, clearly pleased with this comment as his ears twitch with a soft delight. ]

Sure, I'll take some! Lemme know when you get it and I'll come grab it.

[brokenlight]

[He laughs.]

I will.

[Wow, it's amazing what food can do to brighten a guy's attitude.]

[bloodthirstydawn]

Just like that huh? Thanks for the help uh---mister? He can be a handful.

[snicker snicker]

[brokenlight]

You can call me Ven.

[Don't call him mister. It makes him sound old.]

Hey, no one can say no to food, right?

[bloodthirstydawn]

Ven. Alright got it! I'm Moroha! Nice to meet 'cha!

[She smiles bright]

I mean...you're gonna share with me too right?

[puppy eyes]

[brokenlight]

Nice to meet you, Moroha.

[Wait.]

I don't see why not?

[bloodthirstydawn]

[She perks! There might be some cheering too]

Heehee! Great! I look forward to it Ven!

[You're never gonna get rid of her now]

[halfdog]

Hey! I just wanna hear 'em out! If he's gunna give me something, I'm not just goin' to ignore it!

[bloodthirstydawn]
