WHO: Moana and you
WHERE: The network
WHEN: November 23rd
WHAT: Moana received a visitor the previous night and it's also her birthday. These things may be related
WARNINGS: Nothing I can think of, will update if that changes

Okay, so...I think I remember someone mention something about this before? But I figured maybe a bit more information might help, so.

Today's my birthday, and normally I wouldn't really mention it, but when I was getting into bed last night, this skeleton just...showed up. [ Somehow, Moana seems awfully calm about it, or at least talking about it. ] It had asked me for a wish, and...well, I couldn't really think of much, but I just wanted something to help me keep warm.

When I woke up this morning, I found this [ She holds up a shark snuddie ] and while it's not really what I had in mind, it is pretty warm. [ She laughs a little as she pulls it on. ] I'm definitely gonna be using it.

Anyway, I don't think the skeleton wants to hurt anyone or cause any trouble, but it might freak people out if they're not expecting it, so uh, yeah...maybe if you've got a birthday coming up, keep an eye out for it?

Happy birthday- I'll have to get Ruddiger to take your gift for you.

[Because of course, she gets a gift, wow.]

I...don't know what that is, but it really does look pretty cosy. I guess we're just gonna...accept the birthday skeleton is a thing now, huh? Just a regular slice of Kaisou weirdness.

[findingways]

Aww thanks! You don't really have to, though.

[ But she wouldn't turn one down if he did. ]

It's just kind of like a blanket you can wear. It's interesting, though, because it feels like it's always warm? Even when I first picked it up and hadn't put it on yet.

And I mean, it's not the worst thing to happen here?

[droptheious]

Too late, already made it.

[He says that in a very neener neener tone. Sorry, Moana, you're stuck with his friendship and all the gift-giving that comes with it.]

That's...kinda nice? Probably useful now we're getting into winter, right? Who knows if this place won't just drop ten feet of snow on us for no reason.

That's true! If it seems to be completely altruistic then that's...actually better than most things that happen here.

[findingways]

[ She gasps in mock offense. ] How dare you. And you made it? The worst.

[ Then she laughs and sticks out her tongue at him, because she is a totally mature young adult. ]

Oh man, I hope not. I think I'm starting to get pretty sensitive to cold, so that would be terrible.

[ Though she wouldn't be entirely surprised if it did happen. ]

Right? It's a really special kinda place when a talking skeleton appearing in someone's room one night is the nicest thing to ever happen.

[droptheious]

I know, it's completely unforgivable, but I don't care.

[He matches the gesture in a mirror of maturity! ]

That is a worry. If that doesn't work, I can always see what I can come up with to keep you warm.

[He'll make sure it has a minimal chance of exploding, too! Because they're friends!]

Right? You gotta hand it to this place for being nicely weird.

[findingways]

[ She snickers. ] So rude. Just you wait, I'll get you back for this eventually.

[ Despite the teasing tone, that is a very serious promise. ]

Well, it's definitely good for having here at home, but if you wouldn't mind giving it a try, it'd be nice to have something a bit more...mobile? Something I can have when I'm out so I don't have to wear a billion layers just to step outside.

[ Awwww that makes her feel so special! ]

Yeah. Though I'm not sure it completely makes up for when it gets terrible weird.

Hey, happy birthday. I give you permission to lord it over me for all the month before we're the same age again.

Did you get the gift I sent?

...The skeleton thing is kind of weird. I'm hoping that's not a permanent thing now.

[findingways]

[ Moana snorts a little. ] Thank you, I appreciate your approval.

[ She is absolutely going to lord it over him while she can.

With a grin, she removes the snuddie to reveal the shirt she's wearing. ] You mean this one? Maybe.

Yeah, it's pretty weird. It didn't seem so bad, though? But if it shows up the night before your birthday, lemme know.

[schrodingersghost]

[That surprises him into a laugh.]

I can't believe you're actually wearing it!

Can do!

[findingways]

[ She snickers. ] Well, I wasn't going to wear it out in public. But I figured it was safe enough to at least make a good sleeping shirt.

happy birthday!!
are you gonna have a party
what about cake

also if you see that skeleton again tell him i wanna fight him

[findingways]

Thanks! I wasn't really planning on doing anything, but I wouldn't mind people coming over to hang out if everyone wanted.

I'm not sure he's much of a fighter, but if I do see him I'll pass that along.

[laminae]

[findingways]

So you'd come then, right? If I had people come over?

[onebadapple]

Oh Moana! Happy birthday! I wish you had told me! I would have made you a cake!

[findingways]

Aww, thanks, Snow! I actually did mean to tell you, but things got a little busy and it slipped my mind.

Actually, I was wondering if you'd do me a favor? There's this one dessert that's pretty popular back in Hawaii, a guava chiffon cake. I'm not sure if you've made that exact thing, but I figure you'd at least know how to make a chiffon cake? So I was wondering if we could try making one together.

[onebadapple]

Well, I've never worked with guava fruit before, certainly not a guava chiffon cake. But for you, I would absolutely be willing to try making it for your birthday. It is the least I could do!

I'm sure with our combined determination will make a perfect one in no time!

[findingways]

Yeah, exactly! With the two of us, I'm sure we'll be able to figure it out.

You wanna come over sometime so we can give it a try?

[onebadapple]

Oh yes! That sounds like fun! I would like that very much, Moana!

[a_cute_batata]

What? And no party? For you?!

That's a travesty! Also, totally owe you a present!

[findingways]

I wasn't really planning on it, to be honest. But I might invite people over if people just wanna hang out. Or we could go to the beach or something.

Aw thanks, Luz! You don't have to, though.

[a_cute_batata]

So you keep things low key? That's fine, we can do that too!

[In Luz's mind Moana was one of those "cool" teens she could never hope to be who just happened to be really awesome too, so she would try and follow what seemed to work for her].

Well no, but I want to!

[findingways]

Yeah, with the holidays and everything, it's just easier to keep things simple. But it doesn't mean it won't still be fun.

[ If Moana is "cool", it'd be news to her. She is the kind of person who has friends in all sorts of cliques, though, but that's mostly because she just likes getting to know people. ]

Well, I certainly wouldn't stop you if you did. I appreciate it!

[a_cute_batata]

If it's not fun, why do it?

[Luz has never really been cool, but somehow she sensed that Moana just had that factor and was still nice. It reminded her of Amity, actually].

It's the least I could do! You did make adjusting to this place a lot easier just by talking to me! And you gave my a great series to obsess over too!
