[OOC: There will be a log on the 2nd for Clover's birthday party if you guys are interested~]

[Clover is in the kitchen of their house, bringing out a tray of freshly baked chocolate cupcakes from the oven. On the counter, a Togepi is...well, doing his best to mix a bowl of pink frosting with a wooden spoon and he's tittering happily while he's at it. She peers at her cupcakes and then places them next to the bowl.

Then she smiles, and sighs contentedly; well, her creations were a lovely, steamy brown. They were a success, and all that was left was to decorate them.]

All right, Lucky, you can stop stirring. [She faces her 'gear which is perched somewhere close - and yet it has miraculously stayed clean. Like the kitchen, which only had a few stains and patches of flour that could easily be cleaned up later. And yes, Lucky the Togepi finally stops stirring.]

My birthday's next week. February 2, to be exact. [There's a faraway look in her eyes, and her smile fades into a more wistful expression. The Togepi waddles over to her, gripping her arm.] I can't believe I'm actually gonna be celebrating my birthday really far from home... [Without her friends back in her world, without her family, without her brother...]

[She idly pats the Togepi.] Well, at least I still have people to celebrate it with. [And when Clover glances down, she will see a Vaporeon and an Eevee at her feet, looking expectantly up at her.]

And Pokémon.

[What is filtering to the shotas, THEY KNOW THIS ALREADY.]

I'm inviting you guys to our house for my birthday - I mean, if you're around Goldenrod. We'll have lunch, play games and stuff. [Insert directions to the House of Shota-Loli-Shota Sandwich.]

But  yeah, I bet some of you are traveling, which is okay. I mean, there's not much to do 'round here sometimes. [Clover sort of wishes she could do the same and continue grabbing some badges, but she doesn't want to leave Ken and Miles. She'll only go if they go with her.]

[Filtered to Santa]

I mean it.

[He furrows his eyebrows.] Well, no, but.

[He doesn't like sweet things so much.]

...if you want me to hold the icing on yours, I could do that too. [YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE MISSING. Also, she brushes her teeth okay?]

[miniworth]

You can do whatever you'd like. [He's just watching.] You're making a lot.

[The Togepi is now going to help put some icing on the cupcakes. Yay cupcakes! The Vaporeon stops chasing his daughter long enough to look up at what's going on at the counter and with the two humans and that one Togepi.

Daughter will take off like a brown blur out of the kitchen. MORE PLAYMATES PLZ.]

I know. I can always give the rest away as gifts.

[miniworth]

[The daughter will have plenty of friends rolling around the living room. They are all climbing Mount Pess who is glad to finally have stretching out space in the house.]

... Is there anything you would like? It is your birthday, after all.

[bookmarking]

[PIXIE WILL WANT TO CLIMB MOUNT PESS TOO. Not Lucky, he'll be busy helping with the cupcakes. Neptune wants to watch and will get a nice pat on the head from Clover.]

I wanted to spend at least part of my birthday with just you and Ken, but I think I've already got that.

[miniworth]

[Pess is totally cool with tiny things climbing over her. Just don't pull on her fur.]

We'll be around. How long do you plan to keep the guests?

[bookmarking]

[Pixie will be the most careful Eevee ever.]

Probably until mid-afternoon or something. We could have lunch, at least.

[miniworth]

[Good. Then Pess will let her climb all she wants.]

I'll help! I can cook food... just not snacks.

[bookmarking]

[Uncle Ares will also make sure she plays safe. He's probably a Ninetales by now.

Clover continues icing the cupcakes while talking.]

Great! It's okay, I think I've got the snacks covered.
