[Because the Sanguis moon is out, LB's goat face markings of the black circles around her eyes and on her lips are present along with the ears - she's relieved that the horns didn't make an appearance this time, at least! As she didn't post on the network often, she glances curiously into the screen to make certain the recording function was on, sighing before addressing the network.]

Oh, uh, hi! Eeheehee! I don't go on the network very often, so, uh, I'm "LB" for those that don't know me.

[Gosh, she probably looks like a dork right now. While she was a lot more extroverted in person, it felt weird being on video when she was much more used to texting.]

Anyway, um, my birthday is coming up soon! Or the closest equivalent to it here, I suppose? [At least the calendar system here was conveniently close to the one on Earth!] And this is probably really one of the stupidest questions ever, but... what do you even do for birthdays when you're an adult? Ahaha?

I mean, I had some when I was younger and I know a lot of adults just ignore their birthday, but... [She frowns a little before realizing it and covering it up with a bit of a forced smile.] the last time I got to celebrate a birthday was a decade ago. You know, when I was twelve years old. And maybe it's a little selfish, but I really kind of want to do something now that I actually can, you know?

[That was probably more revealing about herself than she really wanted to let on. But at least maybe people won't think she's completely stupid? In any case, she shrugs in a sort of self-conscious fashion before continuing.]

So, uh, if anyone has any ideas, let me know! But thanks for listening, really! And if anyone wants to do something, I don't mind hanging out with strangers even, if you have nothing else to do on the 13th! So I'll see you then, maybe!

[Her smile broadens at the camera, giving a little wave before shutting off the feed.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Engie's grin at the beer comment is practically audible.]

Nah... I mean. Family's always good to celebrate with - if you like your family. But friends count too. Basically, celebrate how you like, with the people you like.

[Or by yourself - like said.]

Octopus, huh? [He considers that for a second.] Never been my thing, even 'round here, but hell. It's your birthday. If you like it, go for it. Same goes for indulgin'.

[LB can only be silent about the whole part about her family. She figures it's best not to say anything, though, she didn't need to drag him into her problems, after all.]

I, um, don't have family here. But I was hoping to do something with friends, heehee! It'd get lonely by myself, after all.

[She's just super extroverted like that.]

Ah, I get plenty of octopus, don't worry! I think it might be fun to go somewhere that's easy for people to get drinks anyway!

[Even if she's not affected by alcohol, people just tend to be more fun in general when they were a little inebriated.]

Maybe something like a bar and grill? So everyone who comes can get food too!

Hey now, those're all fine ideas. A bar and grill ain't bad. They usually got some kinda variety too, for different folks.

That's what I was thinking, heehee! While I like seafood, I know there's people out there who aren't as fond of it. So... hopefully everyone would find something they like.

Outta curiosity, what else do you like, besides seafood?

Um, well - heheh - I guess maybe it's out of tradition, but sometimes I do get cravings for mutton or lamb dishes! [Norway has a lot of fucking weird dishes, okay.] But I'm honestly not that picky! Steaks and even burgers sometimes are good. Also, though, because I didn't get to try a lot of different dishes, I like to try out almost anything at least once!

I just don't like to eat a lot of sugary things.

Hey, mutton's pretty good. I'm more of a steak fella, myself, but sheep ain't bad eatin'.

It is! There's a lot of interesting dishes in my home country that just can't quite be replicated here, really.

But uh, steak is pretty good too, though! I just haven't had it as much. Any particular way you like it?

Where you from, if I can ask?

American barbecue style, mainly. Naturally, s'gotta have the right sauce.

Oh, a small town in Norway, heheh... it specifically specialized in fishing, but we'd have other things too!

[And that's all she's saying, even if the town she's from specifically didn't exist in other people's worlds. But still, it's not like LB knows that.]

Really? You cover it in sauce? I'm not so certain about that, but maybe if it was really good sauce...

Ah. I can kinda see where the octopus thing comes from, then.

If you cook it with the right sauce and seasonings, it's damn good.

Eheheh... [Ah, he might actually be able to hear the self-consciousness in that laugh.] yeah, there were quite a few in the sea surrounding my village.

But huh. Now I kind of want to try it. It's more fun trying something new than it is to go with the same thing every time anyway!

[He does. Probably best not to make her any more self conscious about it, then. He chuckles.]

Ain't nothin' wrong with that.

[Anyway--]

Absolutely. If you ever want, I can show you sometime.

Sure, if you ever have the time for it, I'll give it a shot sometime, heehee!

And who knows? Maybe I'll get you into seafood dishes, one of these days.

Why not? Always willin' to try seafood.

Sounds great! Heehee! We'll figure out a time, down the line.
