[ Bonjour, Lunatia! Today, a certain face appears for the first time in the widespread network, though a good bunch of people already know her. The thing that stands out mostly about the young woman is the large hat neatly sitting on her head, obviously cut in half from camera view. Blue eyes happily staring at the camera, she begins speaking in a sweet, cheerful, but still composed tone of voice. ]

Greetings, everyone! For those who have not seen me before, my name is Marie. I know the past week has been stressful for most of you, including myself, but I am here to make an important announcement.

[ She clasps her gloved hands together, beaming. ]

Today, November 2nd, is my official birthday! I could have organized a wonderful party for the occasion, but I had a change of heart.

In fact, the party will occur on the same date of my new business' grand opening! I shall make another announcement beforehand, so please do sit tight and wait for me, my dears. I will not disclose too much for now... except that PrismaPlace will soon will brightened by a lot of beautiful smiles! Tee hee...!

[ A wink, and then she waves both her hands in goodbye. ]

That is all! Vive la France!

[ ah, this is cute. why is he not surprised that someone like Marie would do something like this?

whatever. what's important is this: ]

Your "birthday", huh? Veeve la France?

[ is that the birthday greeting in her world??? oh well. ]

If you need any help preparing, I've got an extra set of hands, you know. "Happy birthday".

[ringlette]

Vive la France, indeed!

[ She's not aware of his puzzlement and just faces him with cheeriness. ]

I would love to get all the help I can setting up my eventual new place! I have yet to look for a space to rent.

[ marie… vive la france… november 2nd… surely not. ]

Madame Marie,

Bon anniversaire! I am glad to see you smiling. I look forward to your celebration, and I hope today’s happiness continues for as long as possible.

Yours,
Serge Marais

[ringlette]

[ The boy who helped her at the Grounds. Mhm, nice! She's definitely in better spirits today. ]

Dear Serge,

Merci beaucoup! I am so sorry you have seen the worst of me on our very first encounter, but I assure you the one you have seen in video is the usual Marie. I have left that terrible incident behind.

Yours,
Marie

[Ren sounds as cheerful as ever when he replies, though the initial remark probably isn't quite the expected one.]

Oh, are we finally going to get another Moonblessed business on Level 1? I've been feeling kind of lonely up here~

[He's pretty sure there's only one other Moonblessed-owned business up here that he's aware of, and it's not one he's visited himself.]

Anyway, happy birthday. It's rude to ask about your age, isn't it? [He's curious, but Marie's situation seems like it might be complicated anyway.]

[ringlette]

The rent is a bit higher over there, but I could not resist the call of a mighty street like PrismaPlace.

[ A giggle, preceding a mock deadpan response. ]

Merci, Ren. And yes, it is quite rude indeed.

[ Best to not open that can of worms in a public network thread! ]

Oh, Happy Birthday My Queen!

Since you're moving the party towards your new business, do you have any other plans for the day?

[ringlette]

Merci, mon chérie.

And non, I actually have no solid plans for today. Why are you asking?

[coasts]

Ah, happy birthday. Let me know if you want anything. I'll make it.

[ Or if there's something she wants to buy, he'll try to get it for her!!! ]

What kinda business are you gonna open up?

[ringlette]

Merci! I would like a cake, but you don't have to go out of your way for it.

[ She giggles. ] Non, it is a secret! I will reveal it in due time.

[Here's Soundwave catching the post while he's in his avatar.]

Birthday is an important day for humans, isn't it? Happy Birthday, Marie.

[Alien robots don't celebrate birthdays- he only knew about it from osmosis.]

I'm interested in working in this business of yours, but we shall discuss that later, I suppose. [...] Are you busy for today?

[ringlette]

Merci beaucoup for the wishes, dear Soundwave!

[ She appreciates it even more when it's people who don't have birthdays. ]

Mhm! We can discuss it at another time! And non, I did not make any urgent plans for today.

[trenchdoting]

Holy smokes! It's your birthday, Marie! [He starts bowing to the camera.]

Have a happy birthday, pal!! May it be one that's chock-full of happiness and sunshine and all that good stuff! I'm sorry I don't have a present ready for ya... But I promise to have something special for your party! You can count on me to be there, with bells on!

[ringlette]

[ It's always a pleasure to see that big face around...! Marie beams at him! ]

Do not worry yourself any bit about presents. I'm so happy to hear from you! I shall keep your wishes close to my heart! Merci!

[he knows that face! Osomatsu pops up excitedly on video to send her a message]

Happy birthday! You should've told me! I would've gotten you something!

[ringlette]

[ Lovely, cute Osomatsu...! Marie's eyes shine when she sees him. ]

Merci, my dear Osomatsu! There is still plenty time to get something for me, you know! Even so, just hearing from you makes me enough happy to last all day!

[lightthedarkness]

Happy birthday, Marie-san! And I wish you the very best on your business opening too!

[ringlette]

Merci, mademoiselle! You shall know of my new business very soon, I promise!

[Suzuka pops up on video, carrying herself with her usual full energy and cheeriness.]

Oh, you should've told me your birthday is coming! Happy Birthday, Marie-chan!

What's this business you're opening?

[ringlette]

Dèsolé for not telling you sooner, dear Suzuka! I was not intending to advertise it in advance. But merci for the wishes!

[ She chuckles, then puts a finger on her lips. ] Secret! You will know once I get the concrete approval for my business!

[dereban]

Oh, your birthday is this month too, huh-- well, happy birthday, Marie.

[ She's answering her rather nonchalantly. ] But a business, huh? Will you be hiring closer to the date?

[ringlette]

Merci, Inaba! I suppose there are quite a few Moonblessed whose birthday falls on this month.

[ And then she nods cheerfully. ] I will make another post stating the opening date and hiring those who want to work with me, so it will not start out of nowhere.

[bust]

[ Oh, he remembers her. Of course he would remember, considering he has a debt to pay. ]

Uh. Ha… happy… birthday.

[ Looking the hell away from the camera as he says that, struggling a bit. It's not easy for him to say such things, but he had to say it for her sake. ]

[ringlette]

[ Surely she remembers him! Giant jellyfish invasion, she rescued him, got him to rest a while. Didn't hear much from him since, but she's so glad he took some time to reply here. ]

Merci beaucoup, dear! I hope you are having a good day!

{Well! This is good to know. Birthdays aren't a huge deal among the Jedi, but Marie's a friend. It's impossible to avoid a smile when she responds.]

Well, happy birthday, Marie.

You're looking as radiant as ever today. Perhaps a little more than usual even.

[ringlette]

Merci beaucoup, my dear Kerra! It is good to see you again!

Do I? [ A coy smile, then she chuckles. ] I just really like to be reminded of the way I was born into my world, even despite my current situation. [ As a spirit, that is. ]

[foolishjustice]

Happy birthday.

[He's smiling, even if his nose is looking a little red.]

I'll have to think up a gift for you before your grand opening.

[ringlette]

Merci, Goro. Do take your time with your gift! I am not going to demand anything grand.

[ She blinks, noticing the nose. ] Are you perhaps sick, though?

[getting_better]

Happy Birthday, miss Marie. I would greet you in French but my French is abysmal.

[He knows a phrase but it's far from appropriate.]

Would everyone be invited to this shindig? I don't believe I've had the pleasure of meeting you.

[ringlette]

Hehehe! Merci, monsieur. Do not worry about your french, I would still be pleased to hear one's wishes no matter the language.

[ Though french would be better. French is always better. Vive la France! ]

The grand opening is for everyone, indeed! Both future workers and non! It will be as big and colorful of a party as I can organize!

[hunksmash]

Happy Birthday!

Are you a dentist or something?

[ringlette]

[ ... Quoi. ]

Merci, monsieur. And non, I am not a dentist. How did you come up with that guess?
