[ 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— ]

[ Hahah! Someone's dad got called out for it being their birthday. ]

Here I am without a birthday gift. How about you both come by the Seventh Heaven ship and I'll treat you to dinner and dessert?

I won't even make you wear the birthday hat.

[He holds back a laugh. The poor guy doesn't seem happy about it at all but--]

Happy birthday to you!

[ ACK nimona just keeps popping up around him, doesn't she!? But it wasn't like she was a bad person... especially with the co-conspiring antics...

so only the top of his head will appear in the screen— ears twitching with curiosity ]

I'll take you up the offer eat... but not because of that! Just because I wanna good meal!

[ That laugh will earn a quick scowl from Inuyasha.... but is he blushing!? You'll never know! (yes you will he's camera is on) ]

P-pipe down! You don't gotta be so loud about it!

[ They gotta stick together, being different and all. ]

Come on! You gotta use your birthday as a chance to get all kinds of free things. People give gifts on birthdays, or hold celebrations where there's plenty of food.

Whoa! Birthday's are super, super important! Happy birthday to you! I hope that your day is full of everything you'd ever wish for!

[Birthday!!!! Yeah!!!!!!!]

What's wrong about saying happy birthday to you?

[Also, why so embarrassed?]

[ Free things... food... ]

Well, yeah, maybe! But ain't it embarrassing goin' around and tellin' everyone it's your birthday!? It's not like everyone's gotta know!

You still having trouble getting food? There's a pretty awesome bakery I could grab you a cake from.

(Are they doing this because it's funny, because they feel bad for him, or because they've decided they like him?

They don't know, and they're already kicking themself for this. Why do they keep caring? Even if the Directive is gone, they're still Puppetmaster. Still a Re-Gene. Still them. They'll just get hurt in the end.)

[ sorry ventus, he is so so tsundere...... ]

It's just not somethin' I'm use to everyone goin' round and sayin', alright!? Wouldn't have known about it anyway if someone hadn't blurted it out!

[ What the hell this voice sounded TOO excited!! Annoying!!

He purses his lip, eye twitching. ]

It's just any 'ol day! Everyone's got a birthday, so what makes it so special?

[The father here doesn't seem too happy about his girl making a big deal about his birthday, but the rules say that when kids get involved, you have to join in. What rules? The Rules.]

Happy birthday. May your day be filled with joy and perhaps a cake.

She just wanted to celebrate you.

[Smile!]

It means you're worth celebrating and special to her.

[ She shrugs. ]

I dunno. Never had a birthday before, but I picked a day and I'm gonna wear something that says "It's my birthday" all day long.

[ Oh! He recognizes that name from before!

.... And they're offering him food? His ears twitch expectantly, and there's almost a brightness in his eyes. It's almost as if he's... excited!? ]

Hang on, you'd do that for me!?

[ No, Jill is absolutely right. It is The Rules.

His face flushes at that, whipping his head to turn away from the screen. ]

Th- thank you, I guess. There better be a cake involved after all of this!

[ VENTUS NO STOP WITH THE SMILE

you can sense his anger is visibly depleting, but there's still some fight left in him!! ... Just a little bit!! ]

Th... that may be, but it ain't all that special. Everyone's got a birthday, so it's not a big deal!

Huh? Whaddya mean you've never had a birthday before?

[ He'll leaaaan closer to the screen, squinting. He's seen her in person before, so age could really mean anything- ]

How old are ya, anyway?

[Food? Dessert? Oh Nimona has her full attention. She grins big!]

That would be awesome! He loves Ramen so if you have anything like that or just tasty meats that would be perfect!

[Please spoil her dad....but feed her too!]

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]

Heheheh! Thanks! Getting through to him is nearly impossible so I gotta get all the happy birthdays we can get for him! He's hella stubborn for real!

[Moroha is loving that others are backing her up on this. She can't stop beaming]

See was that so bad? Geez, you make a big fuss over nothin'. Birthdays are important so we should celebrate yours!

[She elbows his side a bit, grinning from ear to ear still. She really hopes all of this place wishes her dad a good birthday. THEY BETTER. If she sees anyone being a jerk to him today shes going to bite.]

'sides I wouldn't be here if you weren't born so if you dont wanna celebrate it for yourself, do it for me!

[She winks before flashing another big grin]

[ The elbowing to his side causes Inuyasha to tense and his body to stiffen. Sure, he couldn't care less about his birthday, but then to turn it around and make a decent point!?

Damn. She was good. Way too good.

Yet despite the advantage she currently has over the situation, this pup wasn't going to go down without a fight! And so he huffs, retaliating by scooping his arm around her neck and drawing her in closer.

Cue the hair ruffles, you little dork!! ]

Fine! But I ain't doin' it for myself! If you wanna celebrate it so badly, then be my guest!

Oi, oi!

[She shouts out and struggles in his hold and against the hair ruffles. But she really can't stop smiling or laughing despite her protest. It's just...nice being like this!

She reaches up and tugs on a lock of that long silver hair lightly]

Duh! I wasn't gonna let you celebrate solo anyway. That'd be stupid. I thought I didn't know anything about birthdays but you're the worst. Didn't mom celebrate with you at all?

[She's missed some of her own, Towa had to explain it more to her but he doesn't need to know that!]

That's kind of the point of announcing your birthday, dude.

(They've settled on being nice as a form of being obnoxious, apparently.)
