Subject: Birthday Boy

Two months ago, my cousin Naoya decided to announce to the world at large that it was my birthday. Today I get to return the favour.

Please send him your best birthday regards. He's older than dirt and will need them before inevitably expires due to being a literal fossil.

I know you saw this coming, Naoya.

May his birthday be an enjoyable one. Though, surely you jest about him being a literal fossil...

He doesn't need a healer, does he?

[Kazuya is wheezing with laughter on the other end of this message.]

I may or may not be joking. But he's fine. For the most part.

Sender: Naoya

[crouching_sin]

I am not a literal fossil, no. He's being hyperbolic. I don't need a healer.

Should I give him something too?

[And you know. Hopefully not get himself into the family drama yet again.]

[belheir]

He likes sweets, if you're planning on gift giving. I think I told you that before, though.

[crouching_sin]

You don't need to get me anything. It's fine.

Happy birthday to him then.

Have you found any good gifts for him at the moment?

[belheir]

I've got a few, yeah. I know him pretty well, so it's not like it's super hard to figure him out.

[crouching_sin]

... Thank you. I don't really tend to do much for my birthdays.

Well I have to say happy birthday to you too, Naoya!

I'm not so sure he's as old as you think, though, even if it seems like that to you. If you're around long enough you stop paying attention to things like this after a while!

[belheir]

I know exactly how old he is. Which is 25 now, but he looks like a grandpa so I get to call him older than dirt.

On top of the fact he acts like a grouchy old man anyway.

[crouching_sin]

I'm both older and younger than I look. Depending on your perspective.

[thymebomb]

Aw, come on. Can't be that old.

[ Not that he knows either of these people, but ]

Are you throwing him a party? That seems to be the human standard, at least.

[belheir]

At least as old as a dinosaur.

Not really. He's not exactly a people person, and any party would be more for me than him anyway. It'll just be us two, I think.

You're not human, though?

[crouching_sin]

I'm not as old as a dinosaur, despite what he might say.

But no, I'm not really a party person.

Happy Birthday to your cousin!

How old do you have to be to be "older than dirt"?

[belheir]

At least half as old as he is.

[crouching_sin]

Apparently anything over twenty, according to him.

Sender: Vanitas

[darkcharge]

Older than dirt? Doesn't look like an old man to me.

[belheir]

Sure he does. It's the albinism. And his general attitude.

[crouching_sin]

In fairness I'm older than I look.

But there are older people.

[Probably?]

[Kazuya will find a paper ball thrown at him from the second floor of the treehouse.]

[Naoya is leaning against the railing.]

[belheir]

[ It bonks off his head and he only frowns in confusion for half a second before he looks up sees Naoya, and grins. ]

Glad to see that you're finished hiding away. Get down here so we can celebrate properly, old man.

Oh wow, happy birthday!

It's cool to be a Scorpio, am I right?

[ Naoya the best plan here is just not to have a friend announce your birthday, that's how you get out of it. ]

Sender: Nico di Angelo

[refantasma]

you know this probably wont embaerass him right?

happy birthday Naoya

[belheir]

It was obnoxious enough he threw a paper ball at me, so I'll count it as a win.
